Good Luck High Five

In this episode, Maria and Ben are joined by guest host Nels - who began playing Magic in 1994 and has since left the game. Can they convince him to come back? And can they convince him to regale us all with his crazy 90s Magic stories? I bet they can! Ben also explains how to splash (without hitting the seat) and we come up with nine, count 'em, nine distinct uses for Dramatic Rescue. You've got to listen to believe it.

In this episode, Maria, Meghan and Ben go in-depth about the "stack." What it is, why it's there, and how new players can benefit from knowing how the heck to use it. Also, our hosts quiz Siri on her Magic the Gathering knowledge, Ben eats a cookie, and Maria and Meghan share their Great Moments in Addiction. It's everything you could want from life and more. Trust us. We know where you live.

Maria and Meghan might be amateur players - but Magic the Gathering Pro Dave Yetka sure isn't! He stops by the podcast to chat with our burgeoning addicts and gives them some sage Obi-Wan-like advice. Our crew talks about "broken" decks, the sweet benefits of going pro, and how to falsely hibernate your pet tortoise. Also, where do you stand on making Magic-themed adult toys? Maria says "yes," Meghan says "WTF."

Drafting is one of the best things about Magic the Gathering. But what cards should you pick and when? Should you favor bombs or removal? SO MANY QUESTIONS!  Our hosts sort it out for you. Plus, you'll get a sweet history lesson about MtG's roots, hear about Meghan and Maria's Innistrad Cards of the Week, and Ben goes to a wedding! Oh, and Meghan plays the Duels of the Planeswalkers app during the entire show. So get ready for that.
