Season 1 Ep 7: Storytelling Magic

In today's episode we discuss one of our favourite games of all time - Magic: the Gathering, by Richard Garfield. Join us as we nerd out over the way in which this fragmented collectable card game manages to tell a deep and engaging story.

A flavourful introduction to five guilds of Ravnica https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/feature/flavorful-guide-guilds-ravnica-2018-10-03

We also briefly reference Eternal, a game developed by former Magic: the Gathering pro players Direwolf Digital. You can try both games online for free; just do a standard internet search for Eternal or MTG Arena.

Note of Correction: The two expansions that Milos describes in standard together were Eldrich Moon and Kaladesh, not Shadows over Innistrad and Kaladesh. He has been suitably pilloried and shamed for his foolishness.
