The highs were HIGH and the lows were... very very low... But we brought on friend of the show @TypicalGeminiMTG to discuss the year that was 2024 for D&D and Magic the Gathering!

We had a new president for Wizards of the Coast, we had AI controversies, we had the release of D&D 5e's major 2024 revfsion, we had Magic formats broken wide open then banned back into some sense of normalcy, and we had the HOTTEST bird summer you could possibly imagine (RIP Nadu) 2025 is also looking very exciting!

We take a brief look at what is coming and what we want to see in the coming year.

The last Banned & Restricted update for 2024 was a JUICY one to say the least! Two Major bans for Legacy in Psychic Frog and Vexing Bauble. Jegantha the Wellspring singing the end to companions in most constructed formats. AND the long awaited banning of The One Ring and... Ampted Raptor(?) for Modern, as well as the shocking UNBANNING of Mox Opal, Green Suns Zenith, Faithless Looting, and the notorious Splinter Twin!!!

Will this meaningfully shake up Modern and other formats? Is it crazy that Kaladesh has been renamed to Avishkar??? What about a D&D video game being delisted, product MSRP's for Aetherdrift, or a new and cheaper than normal Secret Lair release?

Does it really surprise anyone? Elon Musk wants to buy Hasbro to get access to the Dungeons & Dragons IP for his upstart video game company XAI... a game studio looking to make games using AI. Should we take his comments on X very seriously? The stock market sure did.

We also dive into the upcoming D&D and Magic the Gathering Video Games, the 20 ways to win Secret Lair commander deck, and the Lord of the Rings Roleplaying game coming to D&D Beyond!
