We may have just gotten the biggest commander banlist update we've ever seen. Mana Crypt, Jeweled Lotus, Dockside Extortionist, and Nadu, Winged Wisdom all caught the Commander Rules Committee ban hammer. Dockside and Nadu were somewhat expected. Mana Crypt and Jeweled Lotus on the other hand were a shock.

Many are now very upset with the massive loss in value of their collections, many decks in cEDH are now simply no longer viable without access to this form of fast mana, and nearly everyone is upset with the commitee's very poor communication and are asking for change in how they go about discussing bans.

We also dive into the collection of Secret Lairs that have been recently announced, and Daggerheart going into pre-orders!

The cEDH community in an attempt to self regulate their format brought together several major tournament players in the format to put forth a cEDH specific set of tournament rules/bans. This was met with widespread backlash both from the idea of cEDH needing a rules committee, but moreso from the fact the committee was only white men. And due to Twitter being a cesspool of garbage, the would be Rules Committee was disbanded within two weeks. Does cEDH even need a Rules Committee? Were the issues levied at them fair? The Bros discuss.

We also talk about Duskmourn House of Horrors previews, Greg Tito leaving D&D's community team, and yet another D&D controversy! This time D&D can't have sushi or tacos apparently?

In a surprise to literally nobody, we find ourselves having to discuss a misinformed outrage, courtesy of an article on Wargamer! D&D Beyond is updating their content to reflect the new changes to the 2024 revision of the game. Despite the fact they are not, and never were, going to deleted the 2014 content, the people have been led to believe they were!

Magic the Gatherings yearly "State of Design" is in and much is what we expected. "Bonus Sheets good" "Detective mysteries on Ravnica bad", but we did learn something interesting! Universed Beyond Lord of the Rings cards are legally able to be reprinted?!?! Where is our One Ring?!

In the Post-GenCon world we found ourselves with a copy of the 2024 revision to 5th editions Players Handbook! (Courtesy of Wizards of the Coast) In a months time it will be on shelves for you to enjoy, but what about the other 2024 D&D products? The DMG? The Monster Manual? Project Sigil????

To offset the fortune of the PHB, we were not the lucky few who were hand delivered packs of Mystery Booster 2 EARLY at GenCon from Gavin Verhey himself, BUT we have lots of new information about Mystery Booster 2 and how it is SO COOL! The Downside: You're unlikely to every play with them...

Lastly, the Dungeon Bros are leaving the Dungeon Home and Parting ways! Fear not, the show will go on, but remotely. This is the last in person Dual's and Mana Dorks!

After much uncertainty, Hasbro has found a new president and leader for Wizards of the Coast! John Hight, formerly of Blizzard Entertainment, has worked on video games and played table top rpg's and card games! Isn't that novel... Will he do better than their previous failures at leadership??

Bloomburrow is OUT and has brought with it some rule changes that material effect previously printed cards, and after much community outcry, many will be errata'd to have their original functionality maintained!

Plus it's Secret Lair time with Monty Python and the Holy Grail!!!

Check out @TypicalGeminiMTG out on YouTube for his amazing deck techs that are ACTUALLY budget (like $20 or less!)

Bloomburrow's full release is out NOW and it is shaping up to be the best set of the year! We go over all the set specific mechanics, point out some cards and cycles of cards that are worth noting, and get wildly off topic from time to time... don't worry about it!

After a week where there was so much information that we couldn't properly dive into it all, we are gifted with a calm week, giving the Bros some time to dig into their favorite hobbies!

D&D's 2024 revision has shown us the new designs for the monster stat blocks as well as the new character sheets! Are they better than what we had or just change for changes sake?

We are now in the thick of Bloomburrow spoiler season as well! (not that we've just had a high power set release, a universes beyond set release, and previews for sets that are coming out AFTER Bloomburrow, but I digress) We go over some of the new set mechanics, some returning mechanics, a powerful cycle of sorceries, and some.... interesting commanders....

The universe loves to give us barely anything to talk about for weeks on end, only to infodump a MASSIVE amount of stuff on us all at once!

The CRIT Awards is no longer going to be at GenCon after threats of violence; D&D has been previewing all of the classes and some feats, spells, and new mechanics; and out of Magic Con we have new Previews for Bloomburrow, Duskmourn House of Horror's and a new Standard legal (for at least 5 years!) set in Magic the Gathering Foundations!
