New sound

Hey everybody,

So for the past year or so of doing this, and despite holding a degree in music, I haven't been using compression on the audio for the show.  That said, I have just now realized that I had access to this tool, and have applied it to our latest episode.  It should be much more audible and understandable than previous shows.  Please let us know if the sound levels are okay with you.

Thanks,

Marshall (aka Mastodon)

MMP Episode 12

Hey folks,

Episode 12 is here.  As per usual, the show notes are here below.

Please always feel free to send us your suggestions, comments, and questions to the email or in the comments here or on the link to the show. 

Also, let us know how it sounds.  I've compressed the audio in this podcast, so it should be more audible than previous episodes. 

Thanks for listening,

Marshall (aka Mastodon)

Are you tired of people at your game store only playing Standard and Limited?  Have you moved to a new area and don't have anyone to play modern with?  If yes to either of the above, this podcast is for you.  Many of us have been there before and Josh, Matt, and I want to share with you our thoughts on getting more people into modern.  If anyone else has been in the same boat and has more to add, please let us know as well!

...oh, and we talk about Vendilion Clique too.

Listener question for this week: What card are you most looking forward to playing in modern from Khans of Tarkir (besides the fetchlands)?

Hello everyone,

If you're reading this, it means you've actually spent the time to actually look at our blog.  After some discussion, we are axing the listener question segment of the show for now and are considering something else to take its place.  We have some ideas up in the air, but if any of you listeners out there have any thing that you would like to hear let us know.  And as always, if you have any other suggestions for the show, please let us know those as well through the show email or by leaving a comment on here :) 

Again, thanks for listening, and we hope to hear back from some of you listeners.

Exciting news from the mothership: Onslaught fetch lands are back for Khans of Tarkir which means they'll be added to the modern format!  On this podcast, we *try to* discuss what we think will change in the format after fetch lands are added.  We had a fun time recording this show and we think there's definitely some useful discussion somewhere in it, which probably means there isn't really...but we are honestly just really excited (regardless of what it sounds like).  We also take the time to discuss one of our favorite cards that is somewhat related to the fetch lands: Lotus Cobra, and a deck to compliment it: Bant Aggro.  See the show notes for the list/details.

As always, please feel free to send us your questions, thoughts, suggestions, etc. to the show email, or in the comments here.

This Week's listener question: None, sorry :(  We have some new ideas in the tubes, though, so bear with us.
