We start off talking about the new set boosters which leads us into the problem with having a million different Magic products. Then we talk about our frustrations with current Magic, all the products and how Arena plays a role in all of this.

We then check back in on Double Masters to see if the VIP Boosters look like a better value with more details on what is in the set. Finally, we talk about what a meta deck and how they impacted the PT Finals.
