EPISODE NOTE: We recorded this episode prior to “The Future of Magic Esports” (link down below) announcement this week, so some of the discussion here is talked about without those details. And although the announcement covers some of the things we talked about, it doesn’t cover everything, so there is still plenty of content this week.Dana and Franky discuss some of their favorite Commander 2019 spoilers then discuss the future of magic’s organized play program. They talk about their hopes and reservations for the future of OP and the various things that affect it, including the new judge academy and content creation. All this and some of the latest magic news awaits you in this week’s episode.CFB Article: https://www.channelfireball.com/articles/the-past-present-and-future-of-competitive-magic/Magic Organized Play/E-Sport announcement: https://www.magic.gg/news/the-future-of-magic-esports
