Link?

Fixed, thanks!

[Stevestamopz]

Yeah the fucking boys, I was super keen for this to come out. Kudos on getting it done so quickly.

[Megadeus]

Goddamn that was quick Evan. Recorded this less than 24 hours ago

[Mr Miagi]

Loved it, keep it up! :smile: :cool:

[Stuart]

Cheers guys - look forward to hearing this when it materializes on my iPhone.

[Gheizen64]

Can't wait to be home to listen to this.

And yeah, banning top was clearly a "ban anything but necro" moment to me.

[Stevestamopz]

Listened to it on the way to a court in the middle of fucking nowhere. Howling with laughter at "oh is maverick still a thing, oh I heard that was a thing yeah, that's a thing" as I pull up to see people looking sad/mad as hell. Get absolutely cucked criminals.

[Fjaulnir]

Not a native German speaker, but the Internet tells me Remasuri is Austrian German for 'big mess/chaos, vortex'.

So you think Brainstorm should be banned, eh? Thank you for sharing your interesting views on that topic. Again.

You know to which podcast you were listening? ;)

[hymnyou]

Thanks Miagi/Steve/Stuart/Gheizen, we appreciate it.

If it would be a lot of work on your end then don't worry about it, but is there a way you can go back to getting these in the Apple Podcast app? I'm subscribed to Tusk Talk on there, but the last two episodes you've done haven't shown up in my feed (the newest one is the Aether Revolt review one).

I'll listen anyway, it's just easier to have it on my phone than to be tethered to some shitty computer while listening to it.

From my (limited) understanding the onus is on Eternal Central guys for the cast making it onto Apple. I listen to it on my phone by going to MTG cast and downloading it there. Does it not work on Apple phones for some reason the same way it works for my android? I've not had issues downloading it

[supremePINEAPPLE]

The mtgcast download method works on apple too.

[Ephemeron]

Oh cool, I'm a technological neophyte and didn't even know mtgcast was a thing. Thanks guys, this is awesome.

The current link is MTGCast not Eternal Central anymore so you'd need to switch subscriptions in your app. I just checked and confirmed Tusk Talk is on there.

[hymnyou]

I'm old. I don't use itunes except on my computer. I dont even know how to add music to my phone and I dont care. If you're on MTGcast, you go to the show link, and click on it- there are two audio players. click either the triangle pointing right in the player, or click Download to take you to a independent audio player. This works no matter what device.

I have edited the showlink to make it even easier to get to the player, so it avoids going to mtgcast.

[danyul]

Great listen. Thanks for pumping these out with the quickness.

Y'all bring up an excellent point about the ban being a response to the upcoming GP. It's gonna be a massive event. And having rounds go well over time because of Top/Miracles durdles would piss off thousands of wizards/event staff/etc. That kind of thing might be a minor annoyance at your weekly event. But it's definitely a logistical nightmare to deal with that at such a premier event.

Y'all are smart n stuff.

Ditto.

Of course these time issues aren't new, but WotC seems to be taking a renewed interest in eternal.

[maharis]

I'm never quite sure if Sean and I are on the same side of a joke, but this cast was very good and funny.

[hymnyou]

Episode is now up on eternalcentral.com and itunes.
