Amazing insights on the behind-the-scenes of a game I've played on and off since the fall of 1995.
Podchaser46 months agoWaddler- Best way to catch up on what’s happened in Magic
I played shortly after the game first came out, and then stepped away for 30 years. I’ve been listening to this podcast constantly for about a year now and I’ve learned so much about the game, where it came from, what they’ve been doing over the years, and where it’s going. This podcast is an invaluable resource.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a while,and it’s just so awesome. A friend introduced me to magic and I’ve loved it ever since. I have Arena. I recently got my first commander deck, and I’m eagerly awaiting the Edge of Eternities drop. Thank you Mark Rosewater for this amazing podcast.

United Kingdoma year ago - Great show, longtime listener
Love Mark’s podcast. Only minor criticism is that his microphone seems to be popping and crackling lately, so he might have to get a new one soon. Keep up the good work!
