Eternal Horizons

In this episode, Francis and Jasper kick things off with some Old School Magic ahead of an upcoming event: COPCon XXV, a local London tournament. Francis shares some insight into the arcane format (Swedish rules and Ravenna reprint policies), explains what the gameplay is like, and talks about his beautifully altered Esper tempo list. 
After that, they dive into recent developments with Paparazzi Painter, and share their thoughts on the deck following the Derby ELMQ. Tezzeret, Cruel Captain has commandeered a spot in the deck, but who knows if he’ll stick around.
To wrap up, they discuss the latest ban list update: what didn't happen, what justifications were given for that by Wizards of the Coast and what they were hoping for instead.

In this episode of Eternal Horizons, Francis and Jasper are joined by a very special guest to discuss all things Painter and Goblin Welder in Legacy. 
Fresh off top 8’ing a challenge with the new Sewer-veillance Cam combo in a red-based Painter deck, former Everyday Eternal co-host Callum Smith joins the cast for a deep dive on the new deck. 
All three of them have been playing as many different builds and ideas as they’ve had time for, and even though it’s only a week into the new meta, some clear patterns are emerging. Your hosts explore what the core of the deck is, where their lists diverge and what further options might be available for refining the archetype.
Drawing on listener questions, they also discuss how the new combo has changed bad matchups for the better, and generally been a shot in the arm for an archetype that’s been struggling to keep up with recent metagame shifts.

In this episode of Eternal Horizons, Francis and Jasper check in on the current Legacy landscape and have a look at some cards in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set. 
To begin, they discuss the decks they’ve been playing at recent local Legacy events. Francis has been having some fun with Dredge and Miracles, and they’ve both been exploring a red Painter deck featuring Pinnacle Emissary. 
Jasper then reflects on his run at the Bath European Legacy Masters Qualifier: the more stock version of Painter he registered, constructing a sideboard, and broader ideas around metagaming in today’s Legacy field. What do you try to beat in a qualifier, and how confident can you really be in your predictions?
With a look ahead to the Derby ELMQ, the pair talk through what they might register and consider how TMNT may influence deck selection and preparation in the coming weeks. Causing particular excitement is a certain Sewer-veillance Cam, which presents a variety of infinite combos with Goblin Welder. Your hosts talk through some of the options and speculate on where the combo might land in the Legacy landscape.

In this episode, Francis and Jasper talk about Premodern following Francis' top-8 success at a local tournament. He gives a rundown of his experience playing Psychatog and reflects on what he learnt about the deck and the format more generally. 
Jasper has also been playing Premodern, testing lists in search of a deck to pick up. He seems to have hit on something he really enjoys, Welder Survival, and waxes lyrical about the range of fun gameplay and deckbuilding options. 
In a departure from the usual Eternal-format discussion, Jasper shouts out Pro Tour Lorwyn Eclipsed, a great recent event showcasing a Standard format that has enticed him to build his first Standard deck in a decade.
Moving on to Legacy, Francis and Jasper have both had a chance to play the blue-red Repurposing Bay Painter list they discussed last episode, and share some thoughts on potential changes to the decklist. They wrap up with a brief consideration of what might get banned in the February 9th announcement, but conclude that Legacy bans are unlikely.

In this episode, Francis and Jasper take a look at Magic’s latest set, Lorwyn Eclipsed, and evaluate some of the cards cropping up in Legacy. Starting with Hexing Squelcher, they discuss a few of the different archetypes trying out the new card: Storm, Sneak and Show, and Goblins. 
Beyond that, an innovative Aluren list with Formidable Speaker has caught Francis’ eye, as has the new elemental incarnation Vibrance, while Jasper raises Catharsis and Kirol, Attentive First-Year for discussion after their appearance in a red-white Energy deck. 
Moving on from Lorwyn, your hosts briefly shout-out a tournament finish for their blue-black Painter list from episode 2 before getting a bit lost in the sauce discussing Jasper’s ideas for a blue-red Repurposing Bay version of Painter. 
The final topic for the episode is Premodern and the recent banning of Parallax Tide. Francis and Jasper share some thoughts on why they agree with the ban, but also try to understand the mindset of those opposed to it. After a chat about a spicy Hermit Druid (Full English Breakfast) list, they finish with a look ahead to Francis’ options for an upcoming tournament.
