 Episode 55 – Rob's Favourite Game | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:03:08

It's games week this week, so we have another attempt at the freshly-name Accumulated Knowledge game. Rob's having none of it though, so it quickly descends into chaos. There's also a Flashback to an old favourite, Nameless Inversion (the translation game). Of course, as always, we start with a Back in't'day and finish with a Trash to Treasure, which you can of course buy on Magic Madhouse. Make sure you check out our sponsors Magic Madhouse, and subscribe to our YouTube channel so that you can be first to see any of our upcoming videos. You can also find us on Facebook and Twitter.

 Episode 54 – Watery Mardu | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:08:59

It's constructed strategy week over here at the Blue Envelope Podcast. That gives the UK's most planeswalker-pointed person and our very own PPTQ end boss (Matt) a chance to talk about what's hot in Standard, what's not, and what you can do to try and beat the top decks like Abzan, Atarka Red and Dark Jeskai... sorry... Watery Mardu. As always, Rob talks about back in't'day, and this time it's about Pro Tour Los Angeles 10 years ago (the one with the famous Force Spike - it's still impressive today). We also have a Trash to treasure which, unusually, is also brought to you by Rob. Make sure you check out our sponsors Magic Madhouse, and subscribe to our YouTube channel so that you can be first to see any of our upcoming videos. You can also find us on Facebook and Twitter.

 Episode 53 – What's it Do? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:13:48

Hi there! Rob's off honeymooning this week, and without his sensible presence we take the opportunity to try out a brand new game (as yet unnamed). If you like it and can think of a great name for it, why not let us know? Any game that involves the word Takklemaggot is a winner in our book. Seeing as Rob's not here, Neil takes us Back in't'day this week to Pro Tour Kobe 2006, won by a 17-year old relative newcomer. Matt, as usual, wraps up with a Trash to Treasure.

 Episode 52 – Mana curves | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:48:43

Hi there! We're all back this week, and it's Limited strategy week. We take a chance to talk about the oft-misunderstood Limited mana curve, and what it means to have an aggressive or control deck in Limited. If you want to read Matteo's related article on the subject, you can find it over on Magic Madhouse. Of course, as always, we have the usual Back in't'Day along with Matt's Trash to Treasure as well. Make sure you check out out sponsors Magic Madhouse, and subscribe to our YouTube channel so that you can be first to see any of our upcoming videos. Thanks for listening The Blue Envelope team x

 Episode 51 - Quality over Quantity | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:58:28

Hi there! Our numbers are somewhat depleted this week, with only Matteo and Rob in session. That doesn't stop us filling up an hour with the usual enthralling MTG-related chat though – we have the usual Back in't'Day along with Matt's (well, Rob's) Trash to Treasure, as well as the slightly more illusive Entweet the Angels and Common Bond. As always, make sure you check out out sponsors Magic Madhouse, and subscribe to our YouTube channel so that you can be first to see any of our upcoming videos. Thanks for listening The blue envelope team x

 Episode 50 – David Calf | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:04:12

Rob's off with work this week, which gives us an opportunity to invite a guest on the show... it's been a long time coming, but show mascot David Calf finally joins us for a full episode. We talk Battle for Zendikar, Sideboarding in constructed, and why David Calf shops at Baby Gap. Also, this week brought to you by substitute Rob, we have the Back in't'Day along with Matt's Trash to Treasure. As always, make sure you check out out sponsors Magic Madhouse, and subscribe to our YouTube channel so that you can be first to see any of our upcoming videos.

 Episode 49 – Kanye West | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:46:09

Hi there! There's a new set being pre-released TOMORROW, and so Matteo takes the opportunity to play a Battle for Zendikar-themed game. We also have a game based on Entweet the Angels, but with more Kanye West. As always check out our sponsors Magic Madhouse, and make sure you're following us on Facebook and Twitter for all the latest updates. You should also follow our YouTube channel, with more videos to come! Thanks for listening, The Blue Envelope team x

 Episode 48 – The Mind Rot Effect | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:08:54

Hi there! It's limited strategy week, and so we take the opportunity to talk about the [mtg_card]Mind Rot[/mtg_card] effect: where cards always seem to be great against you, but terrible when you play them. We go into depth on why certain cards feel this way, and the best ways to better judge them in limited play. We also have the last few Crack-a-packs of Magic Origins, and the usual Back in't'Day and Trash to Treasure. As always check out our sponsors Magic Madhouse, and make sure you're following us on Facebook and Twitter for all the latest updates. You should also follow our YouTube channel, with more videos to come! Thanks for listening, The Blue Envelope team x

 Episode 47 – Exclusive BFZ Preview | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:00:22

Hi There! Welcome back to another episode of the Blue Envelope Podcast! This week we've got the usual Back in't'day, but other than that there are no special features as such. Why you might ask? Because we have an exclusive spoiler from the upcoming set Battle for Zendikar! And what is it you might ask? Well, you'll just have to listen and find out. In the meantime, you can always find us on Facebook and Twitter, and you can preorder all the new cards when they go up on the official WotC spoiler page from our sponsors, Magic Madhouse. Thanks as always for listening, The Blue Envelope team x

 Episode 46 — A Modern Take | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:56:47

Hello there! We've managed to kill the website, but thankfully you can still find all of the usual podcasts, including this one, on [insert your podcast provider of choice]. This week we talk about modern in preparation for the WMCQs that are happening globally tomorrow. Hopefully we'll get some hosts and listeners into the World Magic Cup, and we'd love to hear any stories from the weekend. As always, make sure you check out our sponsors MagicMadhouse.co.uk, and find us on Twitter or Facebook. Love, the Blue Envelope team x

 Episode 45 — Podcast Returns | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:06:46

Hello! As it's summer, back in't'day takes us back to the national championships, but it's not the domestic ones we're interested in — we head over to Japan to see what was going on in the era of Counterbalance Standard. As it's been a few weeks since we were last properly on, today's episode focuses on the two major events that have happened since we were last here (well, in our view anyway) — Grand Prix London and Pro Tour Vancouver. Congratulations to Fabrizio Anteri, who's proving to be a bit of a Grand Prix machine. And, of course, we couldn't finish an episode without an old favourite game, and the usual Trash to Treasure. As always, thanks for listening, follow us on Facebook and Twitter, and check out our sponsors Magic Madhouse for the best deals on singles, sealed product and accessories. Love, The Blue Envelope team x
