PODCASTS

Part of my job is traveling. This podcast talks about what it's like working when traveling as well as the many things that have to be done before or after you've traveled.

This episode is another in my "Designing _____" series where I talk about how we design certain basic effects. In this episode, I talk about effects interacting with the library.

On this episode, members of R&D join Blake and Steve to discuss their work on Core Set 2020 and show off some preview cards.

Working on Magic has taken me to many countries around the world. In this podcast, I reminisce about all the places I've visited on Magic's dime.

Magic is printed in eleven languages. In this podcast, I talk about how that came to be and how making a game printed in so many languages impacts game design.

In today's show, Blake has on the newly appointed game director of MTG Arena to update players on the game and answer questions from Twitch chat.

Cassius Marsh, Ethan Fleischer, and Mark Heggen join the show to prep fans for the Modern Horizons prerelease.

This podcast is all about us adding two words to the rules text of one card and all the hullabaloo that followed. I explain why we did it and walk through the timeline of what happened (it's a little convoluted).

In this podcast, I discuss when rules should and shouldn't be broken in Magic design. It involves a bunch of talking about planeswalking and puppies.

Blake and Steve have guests Mark Rosewater and Trick Jarrett on the show to share more Modern Horizons previews and card stories.

In this podcast, I talk about Magic mechanics that just didn't make the cut and had to be retired.

In this podcast, I talk all about the history of the booster pack, how it's evolved, and what impact it has on the design of Magic.

Blake and Steve have guests Adam Prosak and Ryan Pancoast on this week's stream, along with a special Modern Horizons preview.

In this podcast, I walk through all the Planeswalkers to explain who they are and how they're mechanically represented on cards.

I realized I hadn't done a Top 10 list in a while, so I decided to talk about bad mechanics.

This podcast talks about the vision design of War of the Spark.

In this podcast, I examine the role social media plays in modern game design.

Members from the Commander Advisory Group, a team dedicated to representing and shaping the popular format, join this week's podcast.

This podcast is about the history of the block, how they came about and why they went away.

This is part two of a two-part series exploring the Rabiah Scale, a scale talking about how likely we are to visit or revisit certain planes in a Standard-legal set.
