The Mana Pool

I enjoyed asking people Three Questions at GP Pittsburgh so much that the listeners decided to chip in and send me to Vegas to do it again! As always, I’m asking Three Questions to anyone willing to answer them, whether they’re a listener, judge, pro player, innocent bystander, or just someone that catches my eye.

The real purpose of this show, like most of the stuff I do, is to entertain you – the listener. Rather than asking the same old questions that everyone else does, I’m looking to give you a slightly more off-the-wall look into these Magic players and judges and what-have-you by catching them off guard and putting them on the spot.

This episode covers the second bit of Day 1, from round 3 until round...5 or 6, I can't really tell. This time I'm talking to a variety of people from the Magic community, starting with Matt Jones, writer for HipstersOfTheCoast.com. Then there's a judge with seriously awesome hair, a Hall of Famer and a probable future one (Jensen and Turtenwald) and Josh Utter-Leyton and his crew. Also on this episode are commentator and podcaster Marshall Sutcliffe, current R&D intern and pro player Jackie Lee, the man behind CMDR Decks Uriah Oxford, everyone's favorite Twitter angel Heather Dawn, plus a handful of listeners as usual!

Hope you enjoy! Let me know what your answers would be! And keep an eye out for the next batch of Three Questions from Grand Prix Vegas coming soon!

This episode begins with another Sam Quiz, be warned! After that there are a few bits of news to talk about, then it's off to the full set of Khans of Tarkir! We jump around the Card Image Gallery picking out stuff that's cool, pointing out some seriously amazing art, and generally taking it all in. It's a fun episode and we hope you all enjoy!

This episode covers the very first part of Saturday at GP Vegas. I played a round then walked around and talked to a bunch of people. Then I played another round and talked to a bunch more people. That’s about it, I didn’t even have time to get hungry during the time this episode covers! I talked to The Lady Cluze, Will Blondon (formerly of Horde of Notions), Marcel and Corbin from Brainstorm Brewery, another lapsed podcaster from Scrubland, another pair of casters from Planeswalker Asylum, and even one of the former owners of MTGCast! And that’s not even everyone on this episode!

Hope you enjoy! Let me know what your answers would be! And keep an eye out for the next batch of Three Questions from Grand Prix Vegas coming soon!

Be warned: this episode begins with another adorably cute Sam Quiz. Don't listen to the first 3 minutes if you have a particular allergy to things that are "totes adorbs".

PREVIEWS! Khans previews are in full swing, and we're talking about them all! At least, everything on the Card Image Gallery the day we recorded plus the ones in the mothership articles that day. There's a ridiculous amount of cool stuff, including all the mana fixing you could ever want and lots of nifty rares. So yeah, that's what we're doing this week, so hope you guys enjoy!

Since last week's Exiled! was something we really wanted to do right, we focused on it exclusively and ignored the insanely huge news that dropped that week. So this week we're making up for it by going extremely deep on the new way that Magic blocks will be done. And I mean it, we're leaving no stone unturned here.

After that, we're telling you all about the different clans of Tarkir! We're hitting their mechanics, their color identities, their khans, and anything else we can think of! There were FAR too many preview cards to talk about this week, so we finish up by hitting the high notes and calling it done.

It's a really long one (silence truncation knocked off, no kidding, 27 minutes!), but it's a really good one! Let us know what you think about the new Standard, the clans, and whatever else you can think of!
