    We Only Found 8 Legacy Cards in the Hobbit Set

    11/08/2026 | 34 min
    The Hobbits are coming to Magic, but how much are they actually going to change Legacy?
    Zac and Phil go through the new Hobbits from Vetter Breath cards and find something surprisingly refreshing: there aren't that many cards worth talking about for Legacy.
    We break down the eight cards that caught our attention, including Bilbo, Thief in the Night, The Great Goblin, Giant's Boulder, Thirandil, the Elven King, Inside Information, Bilbo's Gambit, Plunder the Trollshaws, and Riddles in the Dark.
    Bilbo is the clear standout, looking like a powered-up version of a card that's already on Legacy's banned list. But does that actually make him a problem?
    We also discuss:
    Why Universes Beyond sets keep feeling like Commander products
    The new Storied mechanic
    Bilbo vs. Dreadhorde Arcanist
    Whether The Great Goblin can enable a combo
    Why Giant's Boulder isn't the next Astrolabe
    Can Thirandil actually save Elves from Orcish Bowmasters?
    Why Inside Information probably isn't a Storm payoff
    Bilbo's Gambit and the Legacy "Silence" problem
    Why Riddles in the Dark isn't Fact or Fiction
    And why we're actually happy that the set has a lower Legacy power level
    If we missed a card, let us know in the comments.
    And if you're done with Universes Beyond and want to play Classic, Peak, Pre-War, or Premodern, check out Returnal Durdles.

    The Best Decks Haven't Been Discovered Yet

    10/08/2026 | 34 min
    What happens when you take a Magic format from 10 years ago and attack it with everything we've learned since?
    That's the experiment behind Peak, Classic, and the other locked formats we're exploring on Eternal Durdles.
    Instead of simply copying old tournament lists, Zac and Phil discuss how modern deckbuilding theory can reveal cards, strategies, and entire archetypes that may have been overlooked when these formats were originally played.
    Phil has been digging through old Miracles lists and finding cards like Unexpectedly Absent and Sylvan Library that seem dramatically underexplored. Zac is doing the same thing with Classic and Peak decks, looking for forgotten strategies that might be ready for a second life.
    We also talk about:
    Why you shouldn't blindly copy old decklists
    How locked formats create new brewing opportunities
    The danger of "getting lost in the sauce" of metagame tuning
    Unexpectedly Absent in Peak
    Four-of Sylvan Library
    Rebuilding forgotten Classic decks
    Nahiri + Emrakul Miracles
    What modern Magic players know that players didn't know then
    The upcoming Peak event in New York
    And yes, Zac has acquired Un-Glued Islands.
