Hi, this question only relates to Ryan only in that he shares his last name with the country that is hosting the next Magic Con. But, do either of you have any experience playing in/ doing coverage in a foreign country where the majority of players might not be using cards in a language you can read? How do you navigate those games if you can neither read the cards nor memorize every card you might play against? Are their special concessions made in matches like that?

Hi Ryan, Do you have any thoughts about the recent expansion/explosion in the number of words per card? Thanks all for all of the awesome content!

Ryan Glinski

Everyone seems to love the bonus sheets for MOM limited but has it interfered with going optimal? If I recall saturating out the rares and mythics to get gems for them in later drafts was part of the strategy, do the "extra" cards in this set cramp your style?

Daniel

Has the sick guitar riff at the beginning of each episode always been the same? If so, who wrote it, how did you decide on it, and why do you think it has been so incredibly effective as an introduction to the show?

Jeremy Church

Congratulations on 700 episodes!!! This podcast has grown to be so much more than just a podcast, and a lot if that has to do with the foundation it was built on. This is truly a special community! Ryan and Marshall, when you guys started, what were some of your biggest challenges and how did you overcome them? LSV, I'm one of the new generation listeners, so you're my first co-host. Thank you for everything you have brought to the show as well. My question for you is, how had it been going back to the protour? Is there anything that you would like to see changed about it?

Hi Ryan, really miss your stream but I'm glad you're back to work on MTGO and on the show! Can you tell us some cards that you wanted to add on the last update of the Cube but didn't make the cut?

Matt Jeziorski

Shout out to GO! Ryan had a great stream going there. But I'm happy to hear he's moved on to a new adventure.

Matt Jeziorski

I'd love to hear Ryan's impression of the LR vs LoL showdowns. Does Ryan feel like he's loaning his seat to BK? As the OG host of LR I assume Ryan would be first chair.

Wood Young

Hey guys, love having Ryan back on the show! Ryan, if you were given a magic wand, what is one thing you would change about WOTC and how it handles magic?

Robert Hanton

Hi Ryan, as someone who has experience working both on Arena and MTGO, what single feature that MTGO has would you most like to see implemented on Arena?

Nathan Beatty

This is a question for all three of you: Have you ever thought of creating an LR specific cube? What cards would you add to it? Cards that came to my mind to be added are the Elmers, Shellys, and other new friends of the show like Feldon, Ronom Excavator.

***** Disclaimer: Do not read this part on air. As a long time LR listener and an OG GoingOptimal watcher, I'm begging you to start off with this one. This is a huge call-back to the stream. And perhaps a little troll, as well. ;) **** No blah, blah, blah. Get on with it. Get on with it! Yes, get on with it. Love, Rob P.S. Miss the stream, Ryan. It's great to have another chance to learn from you. I hope things are going great in your life and new-ish job.

Do you have plans to create new archetypes for the Vintage Cube? To me, it feels like it's just the same archetypes with some updated cards over the years.
