One of our latest design processes involves a slideshow where we show off every card in an upcoming set and make final comments before everything is locked down. In this podcast, I talk all about the evolution of the slideshow.
This podcast is all about the journey of the energy mechanic, from its original inception during Mirrodin design all the way to its first appearance in Kaladesh and beyond.
This podcast is a companion to this year's "Nuts & Bolts" column. I talk all about how to slowly add mechanics to your set.
The Magic Dojo was the very first major online gathering spot for the Magic community. In this podcast, I speak with its creator, Frank Kusumoto, to talk all about it.
This podcast is another in my quest to record a podcast about every Magic expansion. This time, I talk about Mirrodin Besieged, the second set in the Scars of Mirrodin block and a set with one of the most unique Prereleases of all time.
In this podcast, I talk about a core element of every design: making sure your creatures can get through and help the game end.
Every year, my oldest daughter Rachel and I attend BroadwayCon, a convention dedicated to Broadway, and each year I make a podcast about it, taking all the things I learned and comparing them to Magic design. This podcast is about this year's trip.
In this podcast, I sit down with Jadine Klomparens, the play design lead for Lorwyn Eclipsed, to talk about how the set was structured and balanced.
I spent eight years working on the Pro Tour overseeing the feature matches and final-day video coverage. Those eight years just happened to overlap with the greatest run in professional Magic where Pro Tour legend Kai Budde won seven Pro Tours in five years. This podcast honors Kai, who sadly passed away last week, talking all about that epic run.
In this podcast, I sit down with Neale LaPlante Johnson, the creative lead of Lorwyn Eclipsed, to talk all about the worldbuilding for the set.
In this podcast, I talk about a big theme from Lorwyn Eclipsed called "color matters."
In this podcast, I talk about a very narrow type of design: Magic cards that interrupt the game and initiate a subgame.
In this podcast, I talk all about the vision design for Lorwyn Eclipsed.
A common topic on my blog is why some players want to return to blocks. I spend this podcast talking through the various reasons this is unlikely to happen.
Part of a designer's job involves figuring out what to include and what not to include. In this podcast, I talk about subjectivity in Magic design.
In this podcast, I talk about the third set of the Shards of Alara block.
In this podcast, I call the upkeep step the appendix of Magic. Why? Listen in as I talk all about the origin and history of upkeep.
In this podcast, I talk about the second set of the Shards of Alara block, Conflux.
This is my fourth and final episode talking about 30 big design evolutions since I started working at Wizards of the Coast in October 1995. This is based on a three-part series I did in my Making Magic column.
There are a lot of costs you can pay other than mana. In this episode, I talk about different types of resources in Magic.

man it's going to make me sound like an a-hole but when one of the people running the magic story podcast have no experience with magic until 6 months prior and the other a couple years kind of breaks my heart when there are sooooo many more podcasts and people that are passionate about this for decades it seems so odd to have someone with almost no experience to run it. I think they would be a great team member of maybe a cast of hosts while maybe having another player/lore lover that has a long history with the game
There's no such word as 'criterias'. 'Criteria' is the plural of 'criterion'. criterion: definition from Dictionary.com: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/criterion
This interview definitely didn't make me like mark heggen any more. seemed very insencere from start to finish giving the pr answers no different than Rasmussen. they truly saw a way to cut out the middle man and they had seen over the years the growing popularity of the alters scene
thought it was gonna be on mtga I take my comment back
m.e.t.a stands for most efficient tactics available
George lopez "what had happened was" every fucking time
can't wait for time spiral remastered
Aren't cruiseliners basically vacations where you go spend a ton of time in Caribbean countries but in no way spend any relevant amount of money in those countries? It's oppressive bussiness that exploits countries for their paradise while keeping as much money here as possible.
This podcast about changes the fundamental rules of EDH is a time when I've never disagreed with you more especially when speaking about hybrid mana. I understand you are the color pie guru but the rules commitee is allowed to make rules about what cards go into which decks. Counter to your statement, hybrid mana is actually VERY intuitive when it comes to Commander deckbuilding. Same goes for commander damage. Many times a combo deck couuld win without the use of commander but being able to win by killing someone with commander damage. Literally this whole podcast sounds like your platform to complain about a format you rarely play. As someone whose played EDH for years, I can tell you I'm glad you're not in charge of the rules.
but drive to work 173 was the podcast on white-blue
Also a bit of a pun with International NGO Development terminology
I just started listening to this podcast I totally love it
this guy's a 6/6 white nerd with vigilance
Extralong cast, oh yeah
Finally! a podcast about magic
