Welcome to the first MNM of 2019! The three of us are back! We assure you Cluze is back too, he's just got an emergency phone call he had to take, he'll show up about halfway through the show.
We begin by explaining what's going on over at MTGCast. Or, more accurately, the lack of MTGCast. They're working on it. Then we've got the SCG Open, Classics, and the Modern GP at MagicFest Oakland (complete with its somewhat anticlimactic end)! After that there's some Arena esports news, a new lifetime ban from Magic that has people excited, and MTG appearing in non-MTG places.
