Behind the Scnes @ EW Europe & The Revolution | EP.203
Julian and Kai sit down to finally hit record after fifty minutes of warm-up nonsense and immediately do what they do best: talk about Magic by talking around Magic. From Eternal Weekend in Lucca to commentary stories, format hot takes, and the kind of background info you only get from hanging around judges and grinders long enough, this episode wanders comfortably through Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and the strange joy of watching busted decks do busted things.
Somewhere along the way, Premodern turns into the main character, old formats get lovingly roasted, Blue-Green Madness is once again declared a mistake, and at least one format is called trash. Tune in to watch us at our best: opinionated, nostalgic without being sentimental, and exactly as structured as you’d expect from two people who have been doing this for over a decade and still refuse to pretend they’re a serious podcast.
00:00:00 – Welcome to Everyday Eternal #203Fainting at concerts, missing Callum (because someone has to be responsible), busy lives, and our realistic promises of actually being organized this time.
00:02:30 – Casting Eternal Weekend & Raising ExpectationsInsane production quality, banned Legacy decks in Vintage, and the fear that Four Seasons may have ruined future events for everyone else (sorry, not sorry).
00:09:30 – When in Lucca..Food trucks, vouchers, poker chips, skipping lines, travel quirks, venue access, and Eternal players just making it work - because someone had to adult for a change.
00:14:00 – Paupergeddon & Italy’s Eternal EcosystemWhy Italy is the Pauper capital, massive turnout, vendor density, American inspiration, and Pauper quietly holding events together while the rest of us are just faking competence.
00:16:30 – Old GPs, Tournament Lore Classic GP nostalgia, marathon finals, sideboarding philosophy, combo mirrors, Leylines, and winning games the wrong way (as is tradition).
00:31:50 – Degenerate Micro Cube15-card decks, Black Lotus crimes, Channel kills, drafting between rounds, and cube as a social activity for degenerates - we embrace our inner chaos, unapologetically.
00:36:30 – Premodern: The Player-Led EscapeWhy Premodern keeps growing: clean design, nostalgia, proxies, strong deck identities, and zero Wizards interference - basically organized anarchy.
