  • Awesome show.

    Great personality. The collab with Spike Colony was another highlight and showing the huge range from geeking out with geniuses like Rich Shay, heartfelt human discussions with Lan to now calling out not being able to deal with Michael J’s tangents. I am not playing magic for 20 years but I am so here for the hangs and love it. Content is overrated, and this is the vibe that will survive all sideboarding strategy nonsense. Thanks Mano, you rule.

  • Mano- you’re a diesel beast

    I’m an underground old schooler

    Been listening since the first episode

    My brother and were slinging bold cardboard and Alice block back in 2014 then I discovered MG blog and bought back in to most of the cards 2016

    So far outside we’re outside community since we haven’t had the bandwidth to be part of the community but like you I have enough cards to build a variety of decks usually 5-8 at a time just to jam games. Love the cast hope to meet you in the future

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Old School Player You Wish You were - Thomas Nilsen
Q: What was your approach to testing and iteration for your chains-based concept?
He emphasizes aggressive mulligans, careful selection of copies and interactions (like Mishra's factories, sushis, and Winds), and iterating through multiple lists over years rather than performing formal tests, prioritizing real-game results.
The Old School Player You Wish You were - Thomas Nilsen
Q: What sparked your decision to pursue Old School brewing rather than sticking to stock lists?
Thomas describes a preference for creativity and personal flavor over optimization of stock lists, choosing to brew unusual decks that still perform well, driven by curiosity and a love for the puzzle of card interactions.
They Don't Call it Pretty Good Draft - Part 1 - Jamie and LePine
Q: How do you feel about what is in the spirit of Broken Draft?
There are four-ish themes we broke it down to, like making old bangers playable again, fixing or balancing a color, plus a couple more about inside jokes and history.
n00bcon 16 - Simon Rokkjaer
Q: How did you land on two clay statues as your creatures?
They regenerate and they're so difficult to get rid of.
n00bcon 16 - Simon Rokkjaer
Q: When did you first pick up magic cards?
I started in Denmark in 94.
