The MM Cast

Previously "The Masters of Modern" The MMCast is your weekly insight into the various Magic: the Gathering formats, with hosts Alex Kessler, Ben Bateman and Michael Grothe. We break down all aspects of the game, from deck archetypes to new releases, deck techs and predictions!

Available Episodes 10

At the time of recording a new ban list is set to drop soon. This week we propose that instead of hitting things like Ring, Bowmaster, or Fury we let it all loose. Join us as we attempt to solve Modern (and every other format). Is this the right idea? Let us know what you think!
