Last month some time, GCB and Chris speculated about things that have now taken place and proven them wrong. Also, we give away a mint Underground Sea. Really.

Episode 40: Pickpockets, Silvers, and Gifts

We play a new game in which Chris asks GCB and our guest, Seamus Campbell of Tiny Heavy Labs, for "quick takes" on hot MTG subjects. Chris then insists we talk about one of our quick takes for 45 minutes. Also, we play games, talk Eldrazi in every format, GCB is full of himself, and Chris invents the worst version of "5 drop or Zombie" ever played. (Shout out to Limited Resources.)

Episode 39: Flippin' Coins, Flippin' Tables

In our annual holiday episode, Chris makes up a bunch of games to play, because a podcast about games should have games!

Episode 38: Games, Games, Games!

Episode 37: Flashbacks, Life Advice, and We Were Wrong

Chris and GCB are old, so they are up to old tricks. What cards does Chris inexplicably think are going to become valuable next month? How did GCB fail to cash another PT? Where are your keys?

Episode 36: Thrill of Victory, Agony of Defeat, Where are my Keys?

Episode 35: Deck Techs, Pro Tours, and Magic's Most Handsome

Episode 34: Post PT PT Previews, Love for LSV, and Mana Entitlement

GCB plays along with the speculation game for once, putting Chris into a tizzy. Conrad Kolos joins us for some discussion of Origins limited and constructed first impressions.

Episode 33: Role Reversals and the Kolos Invasion

GCB & Chris find another reanimation spell for the world's greatest Magic: The Gathering Podcast.

Episode 32: Renewals, Origins, and Goblin Cakecutters

Chris & GCB cast Resurrection on The World's Greatest Magic: the Gathering Podcast to discuss irrelevant formats, announce stuff that already happened, and puzzle through the Magic Online tournament interface.

Episode 31: Thespians!

Sometime Magic Pro GCB & semi-competitive Magic enthusiast Chris bring you unreliable reports, questionable opinions, and metagame-inappropriate decklists 2-3 times a month.

Easy to listen to. Know their stuff and great info! Keep it up guys.

Awesome

Great podcast guys, really enjoy hearing what you guys have to say. Keep up the hard work!

Card talk

Card Talk: The World's Greatest Magic: the Gathering Podcast

Chris finally talk GCB into playing some mediocre midrange control deck. GCB makes unfounded assertions about Return to Ravnica & reminisces about old magic cards. We play our first game with our audience & our first game with Chris as the contestant, and none of it works out the way we're hoping.

Chris also continues to broadcast his phone number on the podcast, which is just baffling. So enjoy that.

Episode 9: Cards from the future, mechanics from the past, tomfoolery from the present

(click the funny icon next to the title to listen)

In our inaugural podcast, Chris & GCB introduce themselves, talk about Lingering Souls in control decks, & speak over each other. Chris rants mindlessly about some annoying people he once met. GCB half-answers some questions that you already know the answer to. Reading is assigned, stupid games are played. Please let us know what you think: what to try again, what to give up, etc.

Chris played with some robot-reader software from the 80's to create an intermission in which the decklist we tested is "read". We apologize in advance for being too lazy to edit it out, now that we can include the decklist in a useful format. 

GCB says: "Realized after that our decklist is probably missing Evolving Wilds."

Episode 1: Lingering Souls, Lingering coherence

Chris & GCB podcast after an evening at the bar. GCB's rants about how bad Pack Rats is, mis-describes a long series of cards, and then the boys take the Battle to Magic Online.

Episode 11: Does it rot?

Chris & GCB, tacetly admitting that their standard decks have been pretty embarrassing so far, move on to Return to Ravnica Limited! Chris makes outlandish claims and asks GCB to justify them. GCB gives outlandish draft advice and flounders to prove its truth. This week introduces, and hopefully concludes, the Chris & GCB advice for ladies series.

Episode 12: This American Draft, the Pack Rat Challenge, and Advice for the Ladies

GCB is finally onboard with the Zombie Apocalypse, much to Chris' confusion. Chris invents yet another game, but his PC screws up the recording so you don't get to hear it. In our first episode recorded in the Chris Murray Home Studio, you get to hear hungry babies, yapping dogs, and creative swears. And we lose all of Gatherer to audio issues.

Here's the deck we played. You can see the version GCB Top 8'ed with here:

Episode 8: Alpha Instants, Beta Games, and Revised BRAAAAINNZZ

Chris & GCB play a different twist on Delver as the format moves towards irrelevance. Chris makes a painful discovery about himself, and then confesses it publically. GCB is unable to repeat things he was just told like 2 seconds ago. The boys gush about a new Planeswalker for a bit, too. This week's special guest: Battle of Wits!
