After missing the last two weeks due to a lack of news and, to be perfectly honest, lack of interest in anything MTG related given the recent state of the world...we're back! There's just something about Godzilla appearing on actual real Magic cards that makes us sit up and pay attention. So we're going to catch up on the news that has happened since the Virus Nation attacked and dive headfirst into Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths! We'll discuss the Toho partnership, cover the mechanics (where there is a soapbox), and just discuss the whole thing in general. There's a pretty massive soapbox from Chewie when we discuss the Statement on Spacegodzilla article. Then there's a lot of live discovery while we find out more things that WotC is doing to support local game stores during this age of self-quarantine. And then we end on the MagicFest Online Weekly tournaments!
