Kitchen Table Magic

In this episode, I’m talking to the animator of the Magic community, Geoffrey Palmer, of Living Cards MTG.

If you’ve seen anything from The Professor, Magic: The Amateuring, Game Knights, Loading Ready Run, or a Channel Fireball GP, you’ve seen Geoffrey’s work.

Geoffrey is a professional motion graphics designer and uses his talents to bring our favorite cards to life.

Geoffrey has animated Anger of the Gods, Bouncing Beebles, Liliana, Force of Will, Sol Ring, Treasure Cruise, Ponder, and more.

Geoffrey now works at Channel Fireball doing their graphics, and he’s excited to push the boundaries of his craft every chance he gets.

Geoffrey also talks to us about his appreciation for art and his creative process.

I caught up with Geoffrey the in the Fall of 2017.

I hope you enjoy my conversation with Geoffrey Palmer of Living Cards MTG.

Keith and I share a love of the modern archetype Jund.

Jund’s not doing so hot these days with that all stupid Tron and Death’s Shadow running around.

Coming up soon is Pro Tour Rivals of Ixalan, which will be a Modern Pro Tour, so hopefully Reid Duke can help a homie out and win with Jund.

Keith and I discuss the finer things about Jund, how it’s positioned, and why you should play Jund.

We also discuss how Black Green White, also known as Junk, got it’s name.

I spoke with Keith in the summer of 2017.

In this episode, I’m talking to rapper, comedian, filmmaker, and Magic player, Billy the Fridge.

Billy started with local rap battles in the Seattle area and making his own films on a budget.

Soon, his creativity made it to the front page of Reddit and where his thoughtful lyrics and edgy visual style caught the attention of millions.

Billy is true Magic player at heart, writing and performing Cardboard Crack, an ode the game we love.

Since then, Billy has completed his latest album “ill!” which is out now.

Billy met up with me last summer 2017 to talk about music, his creative process, and of course Magic: The Gathering.

I hope you enjoy my conversation with rapper, Billy the Fridge.
