Summary: <div class="trix-content"> <div>Ikoria has released (in digital form anyway) and Companions have made quite the splash. One of them is causing big problems on MTGO, warranting a temporary ban in all competitive formats. Commander had to rewrite a rule to accommodate them. The judging policy pretty much ONLY cared about Companions. And they are currently taking over every format on MTGO. Does that mean they're the worst thing to ever happen to Magic? Is the end nigh? Well strap yourselves in for a patented Chewie rant! <br><br>Also, for those of you in places that are trying to reopen, we urge you to continue to stay home as much as you possibly can and be extra careful when you do go out. <br><br> </div> <div>Watch the video version here: <a href="https://youtu.be/wWlbgY5H9WI">https://youtu.be/wWlbgY5H9WI</a><br><br> </div> <div>Join us live Monday nights at <a href="http://twitch.tv/themanapool">twitch.tv/themanapool</a><br><br> </div> <div> <strong>Your Hosts:</strong><br>Chewie - <a href="http://twitter.com/themanapool">@TheManaPool</a><br>Squee - <a href="http://twitter.com/SqueeGoblnNabob">@SqueeGoblnNabob</a><br>Cluze - <a href="http://twitter.com/lacluyze">@lacluyze</a><br><br> </div> <div>----<br><strong>NEWS</strong><br>Design your own card for charity | <a href="http://bit.ly/You-Magic-Win">http://bit.ly/You-Magic-Win</a><br>Bernie loves TCGPlayer | <a href="https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/1250809042756345856?s=19">https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/1250809042756345856?s=19</a><br>Gyruda problems | <a href="https://twitter.com/MagicOnline/status/1251647150141800448">https://twitter.com/MagicOnline/status/1251647150141800448</a><br>MORE Gyruda problems | <a href="https://twitter.com/MagicOnline/status/1251665091478446080">https://twitter.com/MagicOnline/status/1251665091478446080</a><br>Flash is banned in Commander | <a href="https://mtgcommander.net/index.php/2020/04/20/april-2020-rules-update/">https://mtgcommander.net/index.php/2020/04/20/april-2020-rules-update/</a><br>Companion making a BIG splash | <a href="https://twitter.com/bryango/status/1252298902293774336">https://twitter.com/bryango/status/1252298902293774336</a><br>JumpStart delayed | <a href="https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/jumpstart-release-shifts-july-17-2020-04-20">https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/jumpstart-release-shifts-july-17-2020-04-20</a><br>Tournament Policy update for Ikoria | <a href="https://blogs.magicjudges.org/telliott/2020/04/20/policy-update-for-ikoria-lair-of-behemoths/">https://blogs.magicjudges.org/telliott/2020/04/20/policy-update-for-ikoria-lair-of-behemoths/</a><br>Arena State of the Game | <a href="https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-digital/mtg-arena-state-game-april-2020-04-13">https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-digital/mtg-arena-state-game-april-2020-04-13</a><br>Eleague MTGA showdown | <a href="https://www.eleague.com/showdown-mtg-arena/news/second-mtga-showdown">https://www.eleague.com/showdown-mtg-arena/news/second-mtga-showdown</a><br>New Magic Tees | <a href="https://www.designbyhumans.com/shop/MagicTheGathering/new/">https://www.designbyhumans.com/shop/MagicTheGathering/new/</a><br>MagicFest Online Season 1 Finals Top 8 | <a href="https://www.channelfireball.com/all-strategy/magicfest-online-season-1-finals-top-8/">https://www.channelfireball.com/all-strategy/magicfest-online-season-1-finals-top-8/</a><br>MagicFest Online Season 1 Finals Winner | <a href="https://www.channelfireball.com/all-strategy/articles/fabrizio-anteri-wins-magicfest-season-1-finals/">https://www.channelfireball.com/all-strategy/articles/fabrizio-anteri-wins-magicfest-season-1-finals/</a><br>----<br><br> </div> <div>MNM RSS Feed - <a href="https://www.mtgcast.com/podcasts/monday-night-magic/feed">www.mtgcast.com/podcasts/monday-night-magic/feed</a><br>Support TMP on Patreon - <a href="http://www.patreon.com/themanapool">www.patreon.com/themanapool</a><br>Join The Mana Pool Discord server! - <a href="https://discord.gg/7da7T6s">discord.gg/7da7T6s</a><br>Use our link on Humble Bundle - <a href="https://www.humblebundle.com/store?partner=themanapool">www.humblebundle.com/store?partner=themanapool</a><br><br> </div> <div><em>Brought to you by Mana Pool Productions</em></div> </div>
