In this week's episode, I had a conversation with Gabe Carleton-Barnes. Gabe is actually an old friend of mine, and this conversation is a little bit different from what you've heard so far on the podcast because Gabe isn't a game designer.

Gabe is a professional Magic the Gathering player. So we've talked a lot about collectible card games, drafting, and these sorts of things, and I thought it'd be really interesting to get a high level perspective from a player. So our conversation spanned a bunch of topics from drafting, to deck design, but mostly from a high level player's perspective.
