Magic: The Gathering Drive to Work Podcast

For the second year, I took my daughter to VidCon, the convention for YouTube stars. As an outsider looking in, I always get a lot of insights that I can apply to Magic.

My daughter and I visited eight colleges in five days, which spawned this podcast.

Back in June, we had a week with more announcements packed into it than we had ever done before in that condensed amount of time. This podcast walks through all the reveals of that week with some behind-the-scenes info about making it happen.

This podcast is dedicated to Magic trivia, focusing mostly on trivia from the early days of the game.

In this podcast, I talk about the biggest constant of Magic—change.

This is my first mechanical color pie podcast where I go in depth on one mechanical aspect. For my maiden voyage, I chose to talk about how the five colors handle creatures.

A few months ago, I wrote an article where I spelled out what colors did what in the color pie. In this podcast, I talk all about the making of this article and why the mechanical color pie is so important.

In this podcast, I talk about the role complexity plays in game design.

In this podcast, I talk about the mechanic flashback. I discuss how it got originally designed and the many different blocks that have used it.

This is second part of my two-part series on the design of Amonkhet.
