Disclaimer: At around the 46 minute mark, David speculates on the potential for members of the Commander Rules Committee to financially profit from buying or selling cards in advance of official decisions. We wish to state that David was speaking off the cuff and that we are not accusing the RC or its members of any criminal or unethical behavior.

For the 1st episode of the Mana Brain Podcast, I was joined by fellow Magic the Gathering players Ivan and Roman. Unfortunately, the original audio recording was of unusable quality, so I transcribed their commentary and replaced it with text-to-speech. This will be a one time fix and future episodes will have naturally spoken audio. The Text-to-Speech in this podcast was generated via texttospeech.io (this podcast is not sponsored).
