Andy and Anthony continue their roughly chronological journey through Magic’s modal mechanics. From transmute, to evoke, to reinforce and everything in between they talk about every mechanic they’d categorize as “modal” from the prospective of gameplay and Cube design.

But first, they have to revisit their age old question of whether or not Lightning Bolt counts as a modal spell.
