  • Sit back and relax

    You won’t listen to this podcast to learn about the newest hot cards or financial card speculations. This is purely for laughs hearing about salty stories from kitchen tables to local LGS stores (inside joke) in the game you can’t stop dumping paychecks into. 3 stories, a Magic themed parody song and a salty card of the week. A must have if you commute.

    This podcast is comedic, engaging, entertaining, educational, or as Sam likes to say it’s an edu-magic-ational podcast.

    Genuinely though I had no interest in podcasts and now I sometimes miss music because I am CONSTANTLY binging this podcast.
