Magic The Flavouring

The first ever Standard Legal Universes Beyond set takes on the many worlds of Final Fantasy. With many in-game and real world card games already associated with this IP, can the guys guess the flavour of the cards correctly, drawing from minimal prior FF knowledge? Also Andy and Nathan talk about their previous experience (if any) with this truly epic game series. Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio.Bluesky:mtflavouring.bsky.socialTwitter:MTF- @MTFlavouring,Andy- @AndyMannface,Nathan- @TheFoxintheMoon,Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqEmU7KIqU4Bcwn2RfcJ-yQMessage us directly!

The guys celebrate a milestone of 151 episodes of the pod, and what better way to do so than to talk about Andy and Nathan's 2nd favourite fandom, Pokémon! The guys look at the Gen 1 Gym Leaders and their teams, and decide to beat WOTC at their own game by creating a Universes Beyond style mash up.Thank you to all our listeners for being here, it means everything!Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio.Bluesky:mtflavouring.bsky.socialTwitter:MTF- @MTFlavouring,Andy- @AndyMannface,Nathan- @TheFoxintheMoon,Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqEmU7KIqU4Bcwn2RfcJ-yQMessage us directly!

Has MTG moved away from the concept of truly evil factions in favour of more abstract villains and grey morality spectrums? The guys take a look at the new Siege cycle of cards from Tarkir: Dragonstorm as a case study and discuss how the concept of the "Bad Guy" has changed in magic narrative and gameplay. Also Andy and Nathan go back across recent lore history and inadvertently justify the actions of some pretty evil characters to prove their point...Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio.Bluesky:mtflavouring.bsky.socialTwitter:MTF- @MTFlavouring,Andy- @AndyMannface,Nathan- @TheFoxintheMoon,Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqEmU7KIqU4Bcwn2RfcJ-yQMessage us directly!

Black isn't the only colour that dabbles in the art of Necromancy. Magic proves once again that its Colour Pie is one of the richest veins of Lore in all of fantasy, as each colour has its own brand of life/death spells. Andy and Nathan work through the WUBRG to discuss how these themes are expressed and the metaphysics of what actually counts as resurrection. Also Andy hates on Doctor Who again...Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio.Bluesky:mtflavouring.bsky.socialTwitter:MTF- @MTFlavouring,Andy- @AndyMannface,Nathan- @TheFoxintheMoon,Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqEmU7KIqU4Bcwn2RfcJ-yQMessage us directly!

It's the end of the Dragonstorm arc and we are once again back on the fan favourite Plane of Tarkir! But how have things changed since the Dragon Lords were overthrown and will we finally uncover Jace's master plan to save the Multiverse? Andy and Nathan talk through the latest MTG story and how Planes and characters have evolved and potentially regressed. Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio.Bluesky:mtflavouring.bsky.socialTwitter:MTF- @MTFlavouring,Andy- @AndyMannface,Nathan- @TheFoxintheMoon,Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqEmU7KIqU4Bcwn2RfcJ-yQMessage us directly!

After the Amonkheti crossed the finish line to claim this year's Ghirapur Grand Prix title, who will be in the running for next year's prize? And which Planes will have the honour of hosting? Andy and Nathan take a look at Vehicles throughout Magic's history through this thought experiment and create their own racing teams ready for a podium finish.Also the guys shout at each other about Brackets in EDH, because discourse!Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio.Bluesky:mtflavouring.bsky.socialTwitter:MTF- @MTFlavouring,Andy- @AndyMannface,Nathan- @TheFoxintheMoon,Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqEmU7KIqU4Bcwn2RfcJ-yQMessage us directly!

START YOUR ENGINES! The denizens of the Multiverse are about to witness the most high octane event in its history, as K. Arsenault Rivera takes the wheel of the latest Magic story. But along with excitement and under the layers of sweat and engine grease is a story of normal people trying to rediscover their place after endless change and turmoil.  Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio.Story can be found here:https://magic.wizards.com/en/storyBluesky:mtflavouring.bsky.socialTwitter:MTF- @MTFlavouring,Andy- @AndyMannface,Nathan- @TheFoxintheMoon,Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqEmU7KIqU4Bcwn2RfcJ-yQMessage us directly!

Another year of Magic and what a year it was! With a tonal shift to the flavour unlike anything seen before, there is certainly a lot to go over.

Magic Foundations looks to uphold the absolute distilled core of what MTG is in the game, in some ways to balance the Universes Beyond influx we are looking at in 2025. So what does WOTC consider the quintessential expressions of colour and what cards and themes do Andy and Nathan wish made the cut?Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio.Bluesky:mtflavouring.bsky.socialTwitter:MTF- @MTFlavouring,Andy- @AndyMannface,Nathan- @TheFoxintheMoon,Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqEmU7KIqU4Bcwn2RfcJ-yQMessage us directly!Message us directly!

Also, Andy and Nathan look ahead to 2025, and ponder on some of the biggest shifts in Magic's design and product philosophy, maybe ever...00:00: Jumpstart Legends1:12:40: MTG 2025Music by Michael Rawcliffe Audio.Bluesky:mtflavouring.bsky.socialTwitter:MTF- @MTFlavouring,Andy- @AndyMannface,Nathan- @TheFoxintheMoon,Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqEmU7KIqU4Bcwn2RfcJ-yQMessage us directly!
