About this episode

The episode discusses past card evaluations in Magic: The Gathering and reflects on cards that were underestimated or overestimated.

When sets come out, we do our best to predict precisely how good and/or powerful each new card will be. Unfortunately, card evaluation is hard and sometimes we get it WRONG. This episode, we’re looking back at all the cards we underestimated, overestimated, or just missed altogether. Through this process of analyzing our past analysis, we can (hopefully) get better at evaluating cards in the future.
