What The Deck

If you've been taking Magic too seriously..

If you've accidentally been watching Magic games where the stakes were high..

I've got good news for you! It's What The Deck!! :D

The show where the stakes couldn't possibly be lower. Day[9] and his guest are running decks based around some theme each show that were submitted by the viewers of the show. The viewers come up with creative, ridiculous, stupid, nonsense jank decks that you wouldn't be able to run on the ladder. It's the root goldberg machine of Magic: the Gathering piloted by both brilliant and funny streamers.

The show switches between inviting Magic Hall of Famer Brian Kibler and the smart and funny Professor Noxious. If you're looking for games with a win-max attitute, watch Kibler. If you wish to laugh joyfully, tune in for Nox.

In May 2019 Wizards published this brief article:
