Chewie — Fri, 03 May 2013 02:19:38 +0000

Brought to you by FacetoFaceGames.com, Canada’s number 1 source for Magic singles and products!

With Dragon’s Maze just around the corner it’s the perfect time for a Dragon’s Maze set review and who better to have around than the one and only Zac Hill. The gang talks developing Magic, Dragon’s Maze and why Zac has been trying to destroy Magic from the inside. Zac even spills the beans about all of R&Ds secrets including Ancestral Recall in M14, Squirrel Tribal in Theros and the secret ritual to get into R&D.

Happy Thanksgiving from Horde of Notions! There’s so much to be thankful for in the magical world, and our listeners top the list. Join us for another exciting episode filled with format analysis.

The gang reunites after several episodes with missing hosts. Chris, Will, Travis, and Adena finally find an afternoon when no one is off at a PTQ and discuss the new face of standard. With results just in from two GP’s, they dissect the decks that piqued their interest, as well as the winning builds.

Now that Wizards has announced that Modern will be a sanctioned format for FNM, the crew discusses various cards and strategies to keep an eye on. They also talk a bit about the Return to Ravnica limited format, both sealed and draft.

Brought to you by FacetoFaceGames.com, Canada’s number one source for Magic: the Gathering singles and products.

Will recounts his Game Day against some marshmallows and Chris regales us with tales of his two Game Days. They go on to take a quick look at the state of Standard and then challenge YOU, the listeners, to submit some decks for the Extended format. We’re BRINGING IT BACK! Well, Chris is.

Horde of Notions #55 – An Eggscelent Pro Tour

Chewie — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 01:41:35 +0000

Brought to you by FacetoFacegames.com, Canada’s #1 source for Magic: the Gathering singles and products!

The gang’s all here, as Chris, Will, Travis and Adena attack the modern format, discussing what new cards in Return to Ravnica will make an impact on the format. Since Eggs is the deck to beat, they start brewing with that in mind. Of course, with the announcement of Modern Masters, the hosts talk about what they’d like to see in the set, as well as what they expect Wizards to include. Speculation ensues about the future of the Modern format and its viability as an FNM option, before Chris makes a SHOCKING suggestion to Organised Play that will blow your mind and make you question his sanity…even more than normal.

Chris, Jack, Adena and Will are on bruise control as they take a look at the GP Baltimore-winning UB Control deck archetype and how you can play it or beat it at FNM.

Horde of Notions #30 – Dark Ascension Event (Deck) Horizon

Christopher E Otwell — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 18:42:22 +0000

Chris, Will and Adena (and later Jack, that tardy rapscallion) break down the two Dark Ascension event decks and give you tips on how to improve them, both on and without a budget. Chris tries very hard (and fails) not to turn the Spiralling Doom deck into his deck, and everyone tries very hard (and kind of succeeds) to make the Flames deck suck less.

Christopher E Otwell — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 03:35:04 +0000

We’re back! Episode 29 turns our focus to our core audience: the FNM grinder. What decks from Pro Tour: Dark Ascension can you expect to see at FNM in the coming weeks? How can they be adapted? How can you brew a deck to beat them? Chris, Adena, Jack and Will make this their main topic before discussing some other deck ideas and flying off on numerous tangents. Among other things, find out how you get initiated into Jack’s playgroup and also what happens if you text Chris.

There’s not much more that needs to be said really, is there? It’s a podcast with Jon Finkel. Oh sure you’ve got Chris, Jack, Adena and Will talking to the greatest of all time and everything but I mean…it’s Jon Finkel. What else could a person possibly need?

Jon talks about current players he respects, who he trusts to give him a decklist, who should and shouldn’t be in the Hall of Fame, what made him so great and what he sees as his place in the pantheon of MtG gods. It’s an hour and a half of pure Magic knowledge from Jonny Magic. You know you want to hear this.

Christopher E Otwell — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 01:45:51 +0000

It’s Commander Summer and like Justin Timberlake we’re bringing Carlos back! Our first ever guest rejoins us to talk M12, Commander and the usual assortment of listener mail, nonsense and hilarity.

Chris talks about his Standard Soul Blade deck and his EDH Proliferate deck.

Jack has been playing with Kami of the Crescent Moon. Giggity.

Noyan is playing Faeries in Legacy and is looking at Cunning Wish Tendrils.

Adena is still playing with herself.

Carlos has taken advantage of the unbanning to try out Worldgorger Dragon in EDH, and is working with 12post and Puresteel Paladin in Legacy.

We cover opportunity cost and building around meta hate, then Conley tweaks our decks. We also talk about Conley’s battle with diabetes, and suggest methods of weight loss, both healthy and hazardous. As always, our random moment of geekery includes numerous references to various fantasy authors, internet sites, and videos. Links are below:
