Rival’s Duel 50- A Rival’s Retrospective

Hello and welcome to another episode of Rival’s Duel. This week, Eric and Nole have broken out the party hats and champagne as we celebrate 50 episodes of Rival’s Duel. And what better way to celebrate than with a look back on the early episodes of Rival’s Duel. We hop back into our archives and look at the the first 50 episodes, as well as speculate on what the next fifty will hold. If you’ve ever wanted to hear about who the best Cat commander was, our thoughts on the banning of Sylvan Primordial, or what our thoughts on proxy cards in commander (and don’t want to actually listen to our whole back catalog), this is the episode for you. There are not shownotes this episode but you’ll still want to take a look after the break.



 

Rival’s Duel 49- Battle for Zendikar Set Review

Hello Everyone and welcome to another episode of Rival’s Duel. There is no need for much fanfare this week as it’s time to bury our noses in the Battle for Zendikar visual spoiler and see what cards have us excited for our favorite 100 card format. So without further ado, here is Eric and Nole’s take on BFZ!!! As is our review show tradition, there are no shownotes, just sit back and enjoy.

Rival’s Duel 48- Let’s Build “Does this Ever Work?” Edition

Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Rival’s Duel. In this episode, Eric and Nole prepare themselves for the upcoming battle against the Eldrazi menace (who are we kidding, we all know that both Eric and Nole are more the “power at any cost” type), that being said there are cool new toys to be had in the upcoming set and they go over a few of the things that have them excited about Battle for Zendikar. But (in the words of the immortal Billy Mays) wait there’s more! Not content to leave our episode with just spoilers of the Cthulhian variety, we say our parting farewell to Theros block and its time in standard by…doing a let’s build dedicated to one of the dark gods of that plane. (I’m starting to see a very disturbing trend here.) Eric and Nole give making mill work a go in commander with a let’s build around Phenax, God of Deception. Give it a listen and let them know how they did in the comments below. As always, full shownotes after the break.
