4.5 out of 5 stars from 204 ratings
  • Unoriginal

    Boring. The same as every MTG podcast. A lot of negative criticism on magic. Go and create a card game that’s better. Learn how to speak. Using the word like three times in a sentence sounds ignorant. Stop finishing your sentence with the word right. Every noitall in magic pods sounds the same. Unoriginal.

  • Good show but 1 star

    Good show, that gets oddly political opiniony, for a non news show at times.

    I am an individual that believes in the benefits of capitalism. It’s abundantly clear from listening to this show that we do not share the same opinions in that respect. I have no problem hearing differing opinions, it what makes the world a fun place. During a recent episode the hosts hinted that they don’t particularly appreciate me as a listener bc of those opinions. It kinda sucked. I will keep listening on apple... more

  • Complicit

    The author of War of the Spark: Forsaken thanked Nic “Technically the Girls Were Legal” Kelman, and in the next sentence he thanked the host of this cast, Jay Annelli. I believe Jay Annelli continues to enable Kelman, and I cannot in good conscience endorse this podcast.

  • The great disappointment of Kaervek

    While M21 is relatively good, the new Kaervek does not do the character justice. Can’t wait to hear your opinions on the Flavor Gems Episode! On a second note, halfway through the second episode of the D&D, and I am willing to bet that the person was murmured by HIS OWN BONDED MONSTER. Can’t wait to see if I am right, or slightly disappointed if I am not. Keep it up!
