Modest MTG

A budget-friendly way to play Magic: the Gathering. With a fun way to play each episode and tips to save money, have more fun, and play more.

Well, here we are! Season 1, Episode 1 features a $57 mono-red prowess deck with the Flame of Keld (and without Faithless Looting). Come listen to our take on #MTGModern on a budget. But be kind, since it's our first time recording and editing!

Great profile of (one time podcast cohost and Worlds competitor) Drew Baker (@buddhistborn) by @MegTheWolff! I know I speak for my other cohost in saying we taught him everything he knows.*

Looking forward to Magic 30 in a couple weeks!

@SaffronOlive I mean, I think it’s okay to show the shipping label as long as you also show the large dog that will eat anyone who is a troublemaker.

[Modest MTG @ModestMTG]

Is there a discord or some over venue to coordinate Magic 30 Vegas shenanigans? I need a group for my Fallen Empires Cube! @SaffronOlive @MegTheWolff @ ???

(The first part is serious. The second part… only kinda serious!)

[Modest MTG @ModestMTG]

@SaffronOlive Oh man, I think you should give them eight weeks or so. First babies are a trip.

[Modest MTG @ModestMTG]

Is there a way to see the live results? #NEOChamps One of our occasional cohosts is battling at the highest level!

Our local news wrote about our LGS! (And a community fundraiser being done to help keep it open!)

@SaffronOlive It feels like the city’s blessing. You can’t interact with it, but it doesn’t have any effect except through things you can interact with.

@SaffronOlive Also, there is this one with Dan Frazier

I miss is being able to check my Planeswalker Points for the season within the state. It was fun to set a goal of being a top 100, top 50 Magic Player in Idaho. Whatever OP looks like in the future, I hope there's room for small-scale competitive goals, not just pro or bust. #mtg

This doesn't diminish the value of 17 Lands, of course. But I thought it something worth keeping in mind.

Hey @LSV and @Marshall_LR. After listening to your 'cast with @17lands, I was reminded of a paper by Emily Oster on measuring the effectiveness of Vitamin E.

Between 1994 and 2004, Vitamin E was associated with a 25% drop in mortality. Pre 1994 and after 2004, a 10% decrease.

The same thing might be at work with 17 lands data. In a vacuum, card X might be a +1% card. But if a podcast with an above-average audience endorses a card, 17 Lands might show a +3%, because players who do other things right are now more likely to draft the card.
