We’re joined this week by a new co-host, Jim Gorz. We are discussing The Stack, that most intimidating of constructs that is so essential to higher level Magic play. We look at different timings of effects in Magic, the main ways of generating those effects, and some of the many ways they can interact. We even cover some advanced stack tomfoolery such as Reveillark and the ever popular Demigod of Revenge.

This episode is also our first attempt at a puzzle of the week segment. We present a situation and ask for feedback and discussion on what the optimal play would be in the situation and some of the possible plays our opponent might make.
