In a recent design article on the TMNT set, there was a section discussing the internal debate of changing the rules surrounding Legendary Creatures due to the influx of common rarity legends to fill out Universes Beyond Sets! Connor, Wyatt, and Sam all convene to decide once and for all: Do Legends need to change?

We also recap all the upcoming Secrets of Strixhaven products prior to preview season commencing, talk about the recent Secret Lair leaks of a Deadpool and Goblin Storm Drop, then wrap it up with a sprinkle of AI moderation coming to a Spelltable near you!

Slow news weeks make for... interesting episodes. Connor and Wyatt discuss the recent Italian MTG cheater that was caught at a Modern Tournament, discuss the new Commandfest and Spotlight Series Promos, with a little dose of ASMR to spice things up for you.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles definitely has a Spiderman like funk attached to it. But the set is notably better than our friendly neighborhood hero. Card design is improved, collector art variants are better, and it actually has a commander precon! Connor and Wyatt the @TypicalGeminiMTG go over all the good the bad and the ugly going on with the Heros in a Halfshell.

We also discuss fun promos to expect this prerelease weekend, as well as shout out some Olympic Gold medalists who also happen to be Magic fans!

All formats recieved a new Banned & Restricted update, and while most formats were left untouched, the formats of Magic Arena and Commander saw some shakeups! Connor and Wyatt, the @typicalgeminimtg talk commander unbannings, and cards that Wizards is keeping one eye on.

We also delve into the 2025 quarter 4 earnings call from Hasbro, discuss our thoughts on the health of Wizards of the Coast, and even maybe see signs that they are improving! Wrapping it up with the copious amounts of Secret Lair drops, and some cool promos for all our RCQ tournament grinders!

From an unexpected encounter in my TikTok comments section, @DianaOfTheRose had some thoughts about High Perfect Morcant's name, and I thought "we need to talk about the Perfect vs Perfect mouthfeel debate". We discuss the impressively common Dungeons & Dragons to Magic the Gathering player pipeline, getting into magic in 2025, and what the game looks like from the perspective of a new player!

Hasbro finds itself yet again in hot water for Magic the Gathering. A new lawsuit was filed claiming Hasbro's board and president Chris Cox failed to adequately provide shareholder value by diminishing the long term viability for Magic the Gathering from overproducing Magic Products! Connor and Wyatt the @TypicalGeminiMTG break down all the juicy bits from the lawsuit and discuss if we think it will stick.

We also discuss the TMNT rares and mythics being fully revealed all at once after the cards found their way into Lorwyn Eclipsed Prerelease kits. Then Connor goes solo breaking down early previews and product announcements for Secrets of Strixhaven, and Marvel's Super Heroes!

Lorwyn Eclipsed Prerelease weekend is upon us and it is shaping up to be one of if not THE BEST set of 2026, and it's only January! Connor and Wyatt, the Typical Gemini, discuss the sets preview season, delays in shipping, and break down some of our favorite cards from the years first set!

That do NOT include Stock Up, Cori Steel Cutter, Voice of Victory, Vivi Ornitier, Sazh's Chocobo, Traveling Chocobo, Icetill Explorer, Pinnacle Emissary, The Soul Stone, Badgermole Cub, or Wan-Shi-Ton Librarian.

Connor, Sam, and Wyatt end the year going over the top 15 cards (5 each) that are fresh new designs from 2025! Love them or hate them, it's our list so it's objectively correct and has no personal bias whatsoever!
