This episode begins with a familiar Everyday Eternal drift from mild tech complaints into a broader reflection on how Magic communities organize themselves now. We talk about the loss of centralized content, the fragmentation across platforms, and the quiet nostalgia for a time when everyone knew where Legacy discourse lived. Along the way, we touch on Japanese decklists, old tech, and the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of a format that keeps evolving, even when the conversations around it don’t always move at the same speed.
Beneath that conversation is a more meaningful change: this is Callum’s last episode as a regular member of the cast. Without wanting to make this sound like an obituary…damn mate, we’re going to miss you.
Callum has been one of the best things not just to happen to Everyday Eternal, but to Legacy content creation as a whole. His role in the format goes far beyond being the sarcastic British gentleman with dangerously good taste in decks that you’ve come to know and love. Every once in a while, he even did well in a tournament. Or two. No, seriously: even I have to admit that Callum is an exceptional player, with a rare instinct for spotting holes in the format – only to promptly get bored once he’d actually broken something and move on to the next challenge.
No vanity, just an unrelenting desire to chase whatever he found fun as a deckbuilder and player. That mindset, more than any of his many accomplishments, is something I’ve always deeply admired.
Callum’s commitment to Everyday Eternal (yes, even turning down the Saudi oil money a couple of years ago) has helped shape the show into what it is today, and that’s something Kai, I, and the entire audience are eternally grateful for.
Looking ahead, Kai and I are working through what the Everyday Eternal experience will look like going forward. We’ve got several ideas in mind, including new additions and a clearer sense of where we want the cast’s focus to be. I’ve always believed in making the kind of content I’d want to consume myself, and that will remain the guiding principle of the show.
