As it's preview season, there's really not much else going on. Magic 2015 looks...well you read the title already. The more I see, the more excited I get. We also spend the requisite amount of time complaining about the crappy new Magic website redesign. Because it's awful. And you guys know we're not ones to complain about change.

And either I forgot to take notes or there was no point to doing so. Just in case, here are a few links.

Here we see the fabulous new Magic 2015 Designer collection. See how the fabulous non-Magic game designers turned their attentions to the intricacies of Magic design to create fabulous new cards.

Okay, enough of that. M15 previews are here of course, and this episode we're starting with the Designer Cards, made by various designers of other games. They're all pretty cool. There are a few other cards to discuss, including a few that WE PREDICTED! Holy crap we are so good!

Anyway, there are a few links to the Penny Arcade Watch Saga and an owl you DO NOT want to mess with. Hope everyone enjoys!

Here it is everyone! I've been working on the super-secret project for over FIVE MONTHS now, and it's finally time to reveal it to the world! We're doing a Kickstarter to get capital to create all the merchandise we could ever want - sleeves and stickers with the TMP logo, t-shirts, and tokens and playmats with EXCELLENT new Jars art! If you want the full details, just click the link right down there! Thanks a lot to everyone for everything over these last 6 and a half years, I honestly hope that they were just the beginning!

On this episode, the dorks are taking a look at death in Magic. Some of the planes we've visited over the years actually go into specifics about what happens when you die. Ravnica, Theros, and Innistrad, for example, paint a fairly clear picture of the afterlife. Most of the other planes mention it only casually or only bring it up as a way to justify reanimation spells.

But we're taking a look at all of them, whether it makes any sense or not. We hope you enjoy the discussion, because it'll be the last one you get for a while since previews will start next episode!

The dorks begin this episode by telling you all about how awesome Conspiracy draft is. And it is. Like a lot. Seriously, go do some Conspiracy drafting, it's SO much fun!

But after that, we decided to do something silly. We've done it before with video games and again with television shows, so it's time we do it again. We're taking a look at movies and imagining what kinds of Magic cards we could get out of them. With everything from Wizard of Oz to the Princess Bride to slasher movies to action movies, we're covering a lot of stuff. And we're even staying away from most of the really obvious fantasy franchises like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter and the like, just to make it more interesting. Let us know what we missed!
