    The Mana Pool

    Chewie, Mike, Brian, and Dirk have been talking about Magic: The Gathering on the internet for almost 10 years (at the time of this writing). Since there are so many shows about strategy and tournaments, these dorks focus on all the fun you can have with the game outside of that, from flavor to philosophy to game design to history to whatever else we can come up with. We’re funny, we’re serious about what we do, and we love it!

    Bonus Episode - Tilt Podcasting Panel Oct 25, 2014
    Show notes

    Due to scheduling issues, we don't have a proper episode for you this week. But never fear, there's still something to listen to! Back in September, Chewie went to the tiltEXPO to do a couple panels. One of those panels was all about podcasting. If any of you have ever wanted to know what it takes to start your own show, there are three podcasters giving their advice right here!

    And don't worry, we'll be back with an actual episode next week!

    Episode 344 - Meanwhile at the Hall of Fame Oct 18, 2014
    Show notes

    In honor of Multiplayer Week over on the Magic site, we're joined this week by Serious Fun columnist Bruce Richard! Bruce spearheaded this week's awesome return of the Multiplayer Hall of Fame! And since anyone can just go to the articles and see the rankings, we got Bruce to go into far more detail about what the Hall actually IS, its origins, and the insane amount of work that went into bringing it back. There's also a bit of musing about possible changes in the far future and plenty of credit-sharing from Bruce.

    Three Questions: GP Vegas - Saturday, pt 3 Oct 10, 2014
    Show notes

    We're back at GP Las Vegas! As always, I’m asking Three Questions to anyone willing to answer them, whether they’re a listener, judge, pro player, innocent bystander, or just someone that catches my eye.

    The real purpose of this show, like most of the stuff I do, is to entertain you – the listener. Rather than asking the same old questions that everyone else does, I’m looking to give you a slightly more off-the-wall look into these Magic players and judges and what-have-you by catching them off guard and putting them on the spot.

    This episode covers the third bit of Day 1, from the end of round 6 until round...8 or 9, I can't really tell. This time around I'm talking to listeners, high-level judges, Twitter people, and an angel that was walking around the building. I've also got the writer and one of the actors from Top Decking, a live-action series on YouTube that I recommend you watch. Oh, I talked to a few pro players too - Roberto Gonzalez, Alexander Hayne, Sam Black, and Melissa DeTora.

    Hope you enjoy! Let me know what your answers would be! And keep an eye out for the next batch of Three Questions from Grand Prix Vegas coming soon!

    Episode 343 - Return to Farewell to Return to Ravnica Oct 10, 2014
    Show notes

    After falling into a time warp, the dorks are looking at all the stuff from Return to Ravnica and Magic 2014 that rotated out of Standard recently. All those cards that Chewie got sick of talking about on Monday Night Magic and the ones Mike and Brian got sick of seeing at Friday Night Magic. We've got the whole week covered!

    After that we're telling you all about the Khans Sealed PTQ we went to last weekend. A good time was had by all! Find out who did well and who did REALLY well!

    Episode 342 - Chieftain of Ghosts Oct 03, 2014
    Show notes

    The dorks kick this episode off with some news and a few updates, just some things you might want to know. After that, we have a very personal listener question. We were asked a very simple question that revealed a lot about us: If we lived on Theros, which of the pantheon of gods would we be most devoted to? It led to a really good discussion.

    After that, it's on to a Story Circle! This one is at the same time topical, being wedge-based, and completely not topical, because we picked Karador, Ghost Chieftain from the first Commander product. The direction we took ended up being pretty cool, with one dork laying claim to it when all was said and done. We hope you enjoy!

    It's Prerelease time again! You know what that means - Chewie and the dorks are heading out to play some Magic, and the digital recorder is coming with them! On this episode, follow Mike and Chewie as they check out Khans on Saturday at Lucky's Card Shop in Greensboro, then Brian joins them for Sunday to have a second go at the format!

    Find out which clans the dorks played as well as what lots of other dorks in the room were playing! Learn why Round Two is Chewie's least favorite round number ever! Marvel as Mike plays a supposedly crappy Sealed card to great effect! And listen as Brian tells you all about his midnight prerelease experience in one go!

    Three Questions: GP Vegas - Saturday, pt 2 Sep 23, 2014
    Show notes

    I enjoyed asking people Three Questions at GP Pittsburgh so much that the listeners decided to chip in and send me to Vegas to do it again! As always, I’m asking Three Questions to anyone willing to answer them, whether they’re a listener, judge, pro player, innocent bystander, or just someone that catches my eye.

    The real purpose of this show, like most of the stuff I do, is to entertain you – the listener. Rather than asking the same old questions that everyone else does, I’m looking to give you a slightly more off-the-wall look into these Magic players and judges and what-have-you by catching them off guard and putting them on the spot.

    This episode covers the second bit of Day 1, from round 3 until round...5 or 6, I can't really tell. This time I'm talking to a variety of people from the Magic community, starting with Matt Jones, writer for HipstersOfTheCoast.com. Then there's a judge with seriously awesome hair, a Hall of Famer and a probable future one (Jensen and Turtenwald) and Josh Utter-Leyton and his crew. Also on this episode are commentator and podcaster Marshall Sutcliffe, current R&D intern and pro player Jackie Lee, the man behind CMDR Decks Uriah Oxford, everyone's favorite Twitter angel Heather Dawn, plus a handful of listeners as usual!

    Hope you enjoy! Let me know what your answers would be! And keep an eye out for the next batch of Three Questions from Grand Prix Vegas coming soon!

    This episode begins with another Sam Quiz, be warned! After that there are a few bits of news to talk about, then it's off to the full set of Khans of Tarkir! We jump around the Card Image Gallery picking out stuff that's cool, pointing out some seriously amazing art, and generally taking it all in. It's a fun episode and we hope you all enjoy!

    This episode covers the very first part of Saturday at GP Vegas. I played a round then walked around and talked to a bunch of people. Then I played another round and talked to a bunch more people. That’s about it, I didn’t even have time to get hungry during the time this episode covers! I talked to The Lady Cluze, Will Blondon (formerly of Horde of Notions), Marcel and Corbin from Brainstorm Brewery, another lapsed podcaster from Scrubland, another pair of casters from Planeswalker Asylum, and even one of the former owners of MTGCast! And that’s not even everyone on this episode!

    Hope you enjoy! Let me know what your answers would be! And keep an eye out for the next batch of Three Questions from Grand Prix Vegas coming soon!

    Episode 339 - Looks Dragony Sep 13, 2014
    Show notes

    Be warned: this episode begins with another adorably cute Sam Quiz. Don't listen to the first 3 minutes if you have a particular allergy to things that are "totes adorbs".

    PREVIEWS! Khans previews are in full swing, and we're talking about them all! At least, everything on the Card Image Gallery the day we recorded plus the ones in the mothership articles that day. There's a ridiculous amount of cool stuff, including all the mana fixing you could ever want and lots of nifty rares. So yeah, that's what we're doing this week, so hope you guys enjoy!
