We banned a card this week that stirred up a lot of talk. I then wrote a blog entry on it that stirred up additional talk. This podcast is me explaining the issue with the extra context that having 30 minutes to talk provides.

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

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.

love the concept, and relish getting the behind the scenes insider content. as a player from 95, it warms my heart to hear all the back in the day history.
