Hello, everyone and welcome to episode 580th, Antigoldfish podcast.

I'm Seth, probably better known as Saffron Olive, and we have the full crew here this week, kicking things off with the owner of MTG Goldfish, Richard.

How are you this fine

Monday, Richard? Good, Seth. Always excited to talk about the death of magic gathering.

I mean, normal podcast, right? That's just what we do every day. I thought we did something new

today. What's going on? We got another co-hosted Krim. Good morning, Kram. How's it going

today? Good morning. I amm. How's it going today?

Good morning. I am still adjusting to my jet lag. And when I say adjusting, I haven't at all. And it's difficult. But that's it. Yeah, the halfway around the world trip. I don't know. I don't know how people survive that one. That one's, I get wrecked just going to Vegas for every year and like coming back. I can't imagine going to sing as far or whatever.

That three hour time is a change. It takes a week to recover. I mean, to be fair, to be fair. I'll share you Vegas tidbits, okay? Sats wakes up that like, I don't know what the hell he wakes up at like 5 a.m. 6 6. Yeah. Or Eastern time. So when he's in Vegas, it's like 3 a.m. He's like, awake. He is on old man time. He is on old man time. I learned. You get to the buffet at 3 p.m. And we're like, what stuck you were in?

One time I got up so early, the casino wasn't even open.

And I was like, I didn't even know that was possible.

I thought this was like a 24-7 thing in Vegas.

Oh. fuck you. I, one time I got up so early, the casino wasn't even open. And I was like, I didn't even know that was possible. I thought this was like a 24-7 thing in Vegas, but no, no, not even open. You did it, Seth. You did it. You found the window. Anyway, today, we got a fun one. We are going to be tier listing things that were going to kill magic. So So this has been a conversation literally for as long as magic has been a thing.

Mark Rosewater wrote an article like a decade ago about 20 things he thought were going to kill magic and how they didn't.

So we're going to be judging these based on how impactful they are today in 2026.

So we got new stuff.

We got some old stuff. So basically, how much did these things actually kill magic? Are they still going to kill magic? So that's a plan for today.
