Episode 4: Lorwyn Eclipsed & Premodern Parallax Tide ban

In this episode, Francis and Jasper take a look at Magic’s latest set, Lorwyn Eclipsed, and evaluate some of the cards cropping up in Legacy. Starting with Hexing Squelcher, they discuss a few of the different archetypes trying out the new card: Storm, Sneak and Show, and Goblins. Beyond that, an innovative Aluren list with Formidable Speaker has caught Francis’ eye, as has the new elemental incarnation Vibrance, while Jasper raises Catharsis and Kirol, Attentive First-Year for discussion after their appearance in a red-white Energy deck. Moving on from Lorwyn, your hosts briefly shout-out a tournament finish for their blue-black Painter list from episode 2 before getting a bit lost in the sauce discussing Jasper’s ideas for a blue-red Repurposing Bay version of Painter. The final topic for the episode is Premodern and the recent banning of Parallax Tide. Francis and Jasper share some thoughts on why they agree with the ban, but also try to understand the mindset of those opposed to it. After a chat about a spicy Hermit Druid (Full English Breakfast) list, they finish with a look ahead to Francis’ options for an upcoming tournament.Killabee’s Squelcher Storm deck listOtaba’s Formidable Speaker Aluren deck listRG Lands with VibranceRingoDeathStarr’s UB UB Painter top 16 challenge finish5c Hermit Druid Full English BreakfastIntro & outro music: King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard - ‘Inner Cell’ & ‘Horology’00:00:00 Introduction00:01:46 Hexing Squelcher00:11:31 Formidable Speaker in Aluren00:15:48 Vibrance and Catharsis00:23:28 Goblins!00:27:59 UBUB Painter's challenge top 1600:30:32 Tinkering with Repurposing Bay00:41:44 Parallax Tide banned in Premodern00:47:44 Premodern deck choices and Full English Breakfast00:57:22 Upcoming London events
