Recapping my trip to and from Magic Con Atlanta! It was a blast and I can't wait to go to the next one!

Spider-Man, Spider-Man does whatever a mediocre set can? Is that right? Is the Spider-Man set bad, or are there hidden gems? It feels off and some cards are underpowered in this small Magic the Gahtering set. I have some thoughts and I get rambly this week.

This week, it's a patron-suggested episode! I'm going over how to get new players into Magic the Gahtering and how to teach them best. French/Duel Commander, draft, Beginner Box, or Kitchen table are all good options, and each teaches a player how the game works and how to interact with the game pieces.

This week, we rehash another older topic: Universes Beyond. Is it as bad as everyone says it is? Is it the death of Magic the Gathering as we know it? Do we all need to jump ship and play another game because Magic is ruined forever? Hear all these answers and more!

Building for your meta can look like you are being a jerk and putting silver bullets in each of your commander decks. I think it's planning for your outs and making sure that you evolve with your playgroup.

This week I'm moving, and I'm tired, but I never stop for y'all. The Spider-Man set is on the horizon, and we barely know anything about it. There are very few ambassadors, and more cards from ATLA have been previewed. I'm worried, and it is hard to stay optimistic.

This week, I'm talking about scalping again and how much I hate it and capitalism! ATLA has a huge problem with scalpers using bots to purchase insane quantities of product to resell at the highest possible value, and it is hurting people who love Magic the Gathering and Avatar The Last Airbender.

This week, proxies are back in the Magic consciousness. Should we play with them, and is the issue deeper and rooted in the idea of the secondary market? I think Wizards should go the Konami route with aggressive reprints to drive down prices in the secondary market.
