    Show notes

    Seb is out! Never to be seen or heard of again!? Thankfully we have Anton that can pick up the reins. He is joined by no other than Martin Berlin in this END OF THE YEAR REVIEW. And who will pick upp the mantle from Åland that we haven’t heard or seen since he started to venture deep into Finland on his journey to find the real Santa… well, THANK GOD we have Svante! So there it is:

    First part is a bit about PM coming to MTGO (i.e. MODO).
    Second part is about PM in general, the state of the format, upcoming bans!? Unbans!? Let us pry that Berlin brain right open and get to the jist of it all.
    Third part is OS. We might seem unenthusiastic at this point but mainly we just run out of time and brush over it on some points. MORE TO COME SURELY 2026.
