I'm interested in when you recorded it, since you didn't mention prices of Power 9 on the podcast (and since they've been jumping around but starting to settle in the past few days).  I would have liked to hear a discussion on your thoughts on how reasonable the current prices are (approx: Lotus 250, Ancestral 100, Time Walk 75, Sapphire 100, other Moxes 75, Timetwister 25).  I'd also like to hear your thoughts on the infant Vintage Online meta, what you think about Wizards pushing the long Premier Events over the 4-round Dailies, where you see the meta going, and your experiences playing online so far, if you have started.

Yeah, it'd be great to hear a "progress" or "retrospective" podcast in a few months about Steve's experiences with Vintage Online. Right now it's too early to make a definitive impression.

Haven't downloaded this one yet, but looking forward to listening. As always, thanks for content, Steve and Kevin!

Thanks for the kind words, Steve and Kevin. I'm glad you like our latest sets.

This is how wotc killed pauper. They actually removed pauper dailies (which were firing very well and there were podcasts and article writers about the format) but offered PEs, which didn't fire too often. DEs are they way to get people to play, PEs should just supplement the offering.
