67. Modern Horizons 2 with David Lyford-Smith

The Memory Jar

Episode 67 of The Memory Jar, a Magic: The Gathering podcast about the cards, decks, people, and stories that make Magic the game we love.
This week, we’re joined once again by David Lyford-Smith! He’s back because Modern Horizons 2 is a wild set with a billion mechanics that seems stolen from our deepest fever dreams. And who better to talk about it than the creator of The Magic Bracket? We go deep on some of our favorite designs, ancient Magic lore, the best flavor bites, and the tiny tweaks that make the set so fascinating. Expect a huge helping of Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar! And of course, we name the set’s Secret Reach and Tongue Twister cards.
Plus bonus speculation: What will be the next card in the Healer’s Flock cycle? We finally got the just-right Gargadon, so when are we getting an average Werewolf? Which is the next “Young Xmancer?”
