It’s the annual Christmas episode, and that means one thing: MTGRemy is back.

Zac and Remy sit down for their yearly catch-up to talk about everything from Magic travel slowing down, why MagicCons stopped making sense, and discovering new games like Sorcery: Contested Realm, to childhood Christmas memories, toy commercials, stop-motion specials, sitcom nostalgia, and the weird cultural moments that shaped a generation.

Along the way, they cover:

• Why MagicCons stopped being worth it

• Playing Pre-Modern in hotel rooms instead of convention halls

• Lou Malnati’s pizza (twice, in one night)

• He-Man toys, Moss Man, and Cabbage Patch insanity

• TurboGrafx-16, Super Nintendo, and peak Christmas mornings

• Waiting all year for Rudolph to air one night only

• Stop-motion specials, sitcom Christmas episodes, and Nick at Nite nostalgia

• Siblings, gym class trauma, and fiercely loyal sisters

• First Magic: The Gathering gifts and early card discovery

• Comic shops, mall kiosks, Chick Tracts, and growing up between worlds

• 90s comics, Starman, Why the Last Man, and finding joy in long-form storytelling

It’s funny, meandering, heartfelt, and deeply nostalgic — exactly what a Christmas episode should be.

If you like long conversations about Magic, games, comics, pop culture, and growing up, this one’s for you.
