All the Flavors of Dredge!

All the Flavors of Dredge!

In this episode of Eternal Durdles, host Zac Clark interviews Mahfuz Van Gogh, a well-known dredge player, about the different builds of the dredge deck in Magic: The Gathering. They discuss the current state of dredge, including the manaless dredge and rainbow dredge builds. Mahfuz explains the unique mechanics and strategies of each build, highlighting the challenges and rewards of playing dredge. He also shares his thoughts on the position of dredge in the current metagame and the potential impact of new cards on the archetype. Keywords Magic the Gathering, dredge, deck, builds, manaless dredge, rainbow dredge, blue dredge, turbo dredge, metagame Takeaways Dredge is a unique and complex archetype in Magic: The Gathering, requiring a deep understanding of the mechanics and the metagame. There are different builds of the dredge deck, including manaless dredge, rainbow dredge, blue dredge, and turbo dredge, each with its own strengths and strategies. Dredge is a solid tier 2 deck in the current metagame, with favorable matchups against control decks and combo decks with a single win condition. New cards, such as Satoru the Infiltrator and Harvester of Misery, have the potential to enhance the performance of blue dredge and offer new approaches to the archetype. Playing dredge requires careful sequencing of plays, understanding the opponent's graveyard hate, and baiting their responses to maximize the deck's potential.

[Video] Talking bout Lands and Practice w/ Dark Depth Podcast #mtglegacy

The hosts of the Dark Depths podcast, Michael Mapson and Billy Mitchell, join Zac Clark on the Eternal Durdles podcast to discuss the differences between lands and turbo depths decks in Legacy Magic: The Gathering. They explain that traditional lands decks are slower and more focused on grindy control strategies, while turbo depths decks aim to win quickly by creating a 20/20 Marit Lage token.

They also discuss the various subtypes within these decks, such as green-white lands and green-black turbo depths. The hosts share their insights on key cards and matchups, including the importance of graveyard hate against lands decks and the challenges of playing against Terminus.



Billy and Mapson discuss the use of the graveyard in Legacy decks, the importance of sideboarding, the benefits of coaching, and their thoughts on the Thunder Junction set.

They also touch on different formats like Pioneer and Modern. They highlight the significance of understanding the meta, learning from losses, and seeking advice from experienced players. They mention specific cards like Tinybones, Freestrider Lookout, and Geralf, Fleshwright, that they believe could have an impact in Legacy.

DOOMSDAY: How Long is Too Long w/ Eric Ratkowski

DOOMSDAY: How Long is Too Long w/ Eric Ratkowski

Zac Invites Eric Ratkowski to discuss the position of Doomsday in the meta. They cover topics such as how long is too long to during a Doomsday player's pile making, Doomsday's performance against different deck archetypes, and the potential impact of new cards from Thunder Junction. Eric shares his insights as a Doomsday player and discusses the favorable and unfavorable matchups for the deck. He also mentions the challenges of finding new cards that can be added to the Doomsday deck without breaking its balance.

Takeaways

The length of time to wait during a Doomsday combo depends on the player's discretion, but around two and a half minutes is a reasonable guideline. Doomsday is favored against fair green decks and tempo decks that lack counter magic, but struggles against control decks and combo decks with heavy disruption. Insatiable Avarice is a potentially interesting card for Doomsday, as it can draw cards and act as a non-revealing personal tutor, providing additional resources for the combo. Finding new cards to add to the Doomsday deck is challenging, as they need to be powerful enough to make an impact without breaking the balance of the deck.

[Video] Did the Banned List Announcement COME TOO EARLY?

[Video] Did the Banned List Announcement COME TOO EARLY?

Zac wonders if Legacy just needs its own timeline for B&R announcements. In the last couple of years Legacy has been experiencing an influx of cards on the same level with Standard thanks to the increased product cycle of EDH products that skip over Modern/Pioneer/Standard. The hosts discuss the dominance of the Scaminator deck in Legacy and the need for a separate banlist announcement for the format. They explore the concept of sacred cows in Legacy and the cycle of banning symptoms rather than addressing the root causes. The hosts also discuss the challenges of learning to beat top decks and the frustration of constant rotation in the format. They suggest the need for explicit discussions about sacred cows and the importance of format curation. The conversation concludes with predictions about future bans and the impact of Universes Beyond cards. Takeaways Legacy needs a separate banlist announcement that focuses solely on the format's needs. The format's sacred cows, such as Days and Ancient Tomb, should be reevaluated to address the root causes of format health issues. The constant rotation of top decks and the reliance on transgressive cards create a frustrating and unenjoyable play experience. Clear communication from Wizards of the Coast about the format's direction and intentions is crucial for the community. Starting fresh with a new format or addressing the root causes of format issues can lead to a healthier and more enjoyable Legacy experience.

[[Video]] Case of the Filched Falcon Is What Miracles Needs! #mtglegacy

The conversation covers the testing and evaluation of Curse of the Filched Falcon in a Miracles deck, the timing and sequencing of the card, the need for control decks to compress, the value of paying in installments, the impact of new cards on the meta, the effectiveness of Triumph of St. Katharine, and the potential of unexplored win conditions. Takeaways Curse of the Filth Falcon can be a valuable win condition in a Miracles deck, providing a one-mana option that can play around synergies and compress the curve. Timing and sequencing are crucial when playing Curse of the Filth Falcon, as the case can only be solved in the end step and surprises are not possible. The speed of the format has increased, requiring control decks to compress and find efficient win conditions. Paying in installments can be advantageous, allowing for more flexibility and avoiding the risk of having a card rot in hand. Exploring alternative win conditions can be a fruitful endeavor, as there may be unexplored options that can thrive in a compressed format.

[VIDEO ]Premodern: A Miser's Guide w/ Mike Flores

MichaelJ discusses the current state of the pre-modern format and the innovative deck designs that have emerged. He highlights the diversity of decks and the constant experimentation happening within the format. MichaelJ also speculates on the potential impact of banning certain cards and suggests the idea of a rotating ban list. The conversation concludes with a discussion on unique deck ideas and the customization options available in pre-modern. The conversation covers various topics related to Magic: The Gathering, including artifacts, gameplay strategies, online presence, and nostalgic experiences. Takeaways The pre-modern format allows for constant innovation and experimentation with deck designs. There is a diverse range of decks in the pre-modern metagame, with players exploring different strategies and approaches. Banning certain cards, such as Phyrexian Dreadnought, may be necessary to maintain balance in the format. A rotating ban list could be an interesting solution to keep the format fresh and encourage new deck ideas. Pre-modern offers a high level of customization and personalization, allowing players to express their creativity through deck choices and card alterations. Artifacts can have different effects on gameplay and can be strategically used to gain advantages. Michael Flores can be found on YouTube, Cool Stuff Inc., and social media platforms. The Premodern for Non-Idiots Facebook group is a thriving community for pre-modern Magic players. The Boomer Book Club is a podcast that discusses Magic: The Gathering books and provides insights into the game's history. Nostalgic experiences and memories of playing Magic in the past can bring joy and create connections among players.

[Video] Murders at Karlov Manor Legacy Set Review

[Video] Murders at Karlov Manor Legacy Set Review

In this episode of Eternal Durdles, Zac and Phil review the spoilers for the set Murders at Karlov Manor. They discuss various cards and their potential impact in Legacy. Some of the cards they cover include Delaney Streetwise Lookout, Expedited Inheritance, Undergrowth Recon, Forensic Gadgeteer, Reenact the Crime, Archdruid's Charm, Analyze the Pollen, and Assemble the Players. In this part of the conversation, the hosts discuss various cards from the set and their potential impact in different formats. They explore cards like Assemble the Players, Analyze the Pollen, Eidetic Memory, Vengeful Tracker, Steamcore Scholar, Pick Your Poison, and No More Lies. The hosts discuss the card 'On the Trail' and its potential use in the Beans deck. They conclude that it is not necessary due to the deck's ability to draw cards and generate mana. They then talk about the lack of impactful cards from the previous set, Ixalan, and speculate on whether any will see play. The hosts mention the post-Eternal Weekend hangover and the need for a break. They also discuss the potential of powerful cards in the new set and mention their excitement for an upcoming panel with Mark Rosewater. The episode ends with a thank you to patrons and a call for support. Takeaways Delaney Streetwise Lookout could find a home in Death and Taxes decks. Expedited Inheritance may have potential in combo decks that can generate additional damage. Forensic Gadgeteer could be a sideboard option in artifact-heavy decks. Archdruid's Charm offers versatility and could replace Knight of the Reliquary in certain decks. Assemble the Players has potential in grindy white creature decks or as a sideboard card. Assemble the Players and Analyze the Pollen have potential in white weenie creature decks. Steamcore Scholar is an interesting card for cantrip-heavy decks. Surveillance can be useful for decks that want to manipulate the top of their library.

The conversation explores the concept of Pillars in the Legacy format.

The conversation also delves into the context of cards in the format and the need to reassess their power. It touches on the philosophy of banning in Legacy and the need for clarity in the ban list philosophy. The conversation concludes by highlighting the importance of decision-making and diversity in the format.

[VIDEO] The INFECT SYMPOSIUM for 2023 #MTGLEGACY

FenrusCloud and Mike Everett join Zac to talk about the past, present, and future of Infect. The conversation covers various matchups and strategies for playing Infect in Legacy. The present and future of Infect are discussed, along with the deck's similarities to Delver. The hosts share their experiences and insights on deck building, mistakes, and different variations of Infect. They also analyze specific matchups against Dimir Scam, Five Color Control, Temur Aggro, Temur Delver, Five Color Tokens, Boros Painter, Colorless Painter, and Four-Color Tempo. In this Infect Symposium, the hosts discuss various matchups and the future of the deck. They analyze the challenges of facing the Four-Color Garbage Pile, Eldrazi Stompy, and Mono Red Prison. They also highlight the deck's current power level and its potential for growth. The hosts emphasize the importance of understanding the meta and opponents' lack of knowledge about Infect. They conclude with their thoughts on deck builds and strategies. Takeaways The Four-Color Garbage Pile matchup is winnable but challenging due to the deck's high interaction. Eldrazi Stompy can be a tough matchup, but the deck's lack of removal and slower clock can be exploited. Mono Red Prison can be a difficult matchup, but the deck's reliance on specific cards and lack of interaction can be exploited. Infect is currently at its strongest and most powerful state, with Legolas being a game-changer. The deck's lack of popularity may be due to its difficulty to play and opponents' lack of knowledge about Infect. The removal in the format, such as Snuff Out and Plague Engineer, is less prevalent, making the deck more viable. Opponents' lack of knowledge about Infect can lead to free wins and favorable matchups. Deck builds should consider the meta and include enough lands to activate Lurrus of the Dream-Den.
