Lore Whores Chapter I: The Gathering Dark

Duress Crew ventures deep into Dominaria's forbidden archives in their newest project: Lore Whores. Hosts Matty and Ben light a candle, brush the cobwebs, and crack open an ancient tome: The Gathering Dark, by Jeff Grub. This arcane scripture was the first book of the Ice Age Cycle of MTG novels, and you're invited to listen to an eldritch book review.

Episode 25: Halloween at the Zoo

OoooOOooOOoooooOooo Spoooooky! This 'Weeny episode follows our intrepid hero Billy during the Shoe City Showdown 2, a tournament series run surprisingly well for a crew as incompetent as the Zoo Crew. What starts out as a man-on-the-street episode turns into a mini tournament report, because Billy can't help but make everything about him.

Episode 24: TO Fatigue and Fred Durst lore

Back to our regularly scheduled programming, this one's a twofer: part one is with Nick and he has a chat with Billy about TO Fatigue and the cost of doing CREW BUSINESS. Part two is Mike's assessment of eternal formats and some New England punk lore.

Episode 23: Eternal Weekend Hype (Brendan, Brad, Mike)

You may not know this, but Duress Crew has a weekly dinner meetup, and you're not invited. This episode is the closest you'll ever get. Billy goes 'round the feasting table with three members of the war band we formed to raid Eternal Weekend 2025. Brendan surprises us with his modest, calm confidence, Brad shares his delight with finishing his CE power, and Mike slakes Billy's thirst for potty humor, straight from the bowl. our shit: https://linktr.ee/duresscrew

Episode 22: Shhh! I'm speculating! (with Ian Adams, Javi Lugo, and Brian Selden)

Psst! Don't play this one too loud because it may disrupt your speculation! In this episode, Billy tries a new format, the "pigpile," and commits his schedule before doing effective sound checks. Fortunately, he's carried in the safe, mature arms of Ian Adams, Javi Lugo, and Brian Selden. We enjoy a pleasant evening's chitchat regarding PM's hottest new archetypes centered on Quiet Speculation. (For the record: Ian invented this deck and if you suggest otherwise, I WILL cry.)

Episode 21: The State of the Crewnion

Actual LCPM26 content inside! This is a timely republication of our stream from 21 Aug, where Nick and Jay give a presentation about LCPM26, to include actual dates and when signups open. They also field questions and solicit live community feedback about what LC should be and could be.

Episode 20: Zwang Gang heads to the Sacred Torch Showdown

Lacking functional peers, Jay rallies the troops and leads the show tonight. In this episode, he asks the gang about their trip to the Sacred Torch Showdown and himself about his bad choice of friends. After a moment of appreciation for our handsome OST hosts, we chat results: Brad gets 2nd on Oath Spec, Nick and Jay do mid-but-positive, and Billy memes himself directly into a sewerpipe where he belongs.
