Today we talk about 2 of Jim's favorite things...card game and markets. Jim thoroughly enjoys playing with and benefiting from secondary markets, and also the economics and theories behind secondary markets.

The episode seeks to dive deep into the topic, and we explore the purposes behind secondary markets, and really why they exists particularly within the card game space. We hope you enjoy!

We talk about color theory within the context of Magic: the Gathering, and talk about what each color stands for and represents in the Magic universe. Then we start talking about Lorcana and Disney characters. Since we have all of this information about what the colors represent in Magic, what if we placed Disney characters in that universe? What colors and/or color combinations would they be? We discuss...

So sit back, and hopefully we will introduce you to your next favorite card game!

Today...we talk all about one of our most favorite formats in one of our most favorite games. Today's episode is all about the Commander format in Magic: the Gathering. We've talked pretty extensively in the past about Magic, but we have yet to dedicate an entire episode to the commander format. So today we do just that. We talk about why we love the format so much, and why we think it's one of the biggest formats in the largest card game. Join us as we talk about this exciting format, and stay tuned for the next few weeks, as the following couple episodes will be deck techs talking about some of our favorite commander decks! We hope you enjoy!

Today's episode is an intriguing one! We are talking about...the negatives...of being positive? It almost sounds like an oxymoron. How is it negative, when I'm trying to have a positive outlook and attitude? We'll admit...on it's face, it's doesn't sound like it makes much sense. But if you trust us, it'll make more sense when you hear our reasoning behind the topic. We hope you enjoy!

We have got a pretty interesting episode for you all today! We are talking all about resource systems in card games! We think this is a pretty fascinating topic, especially the longer and longer we are in the card game space. It seems that whenever we play a new card game, we find a slightly new variation on an old "theme." Especially when it comes to the resources utilized for the gameplay. So, that's kind of what we wanted to talk about in this episode, is all about the resource systems found in card games of today. We hope you enjoy!
