Two friends and Magic: the Gathering players discuss the rules of magic to help educate new players and experienced players alike.
Chris wants to dive deep into the rules and mechanics of the Trading card game Magic: the Gathering. These episodes are typically tailored to newer players, but experienced players are welcome to join in, as well. What does being lost in the woods, being in a firefight against aliens, or playing a game of Magic all have in common? Well the answer is simple: finding cover can increase your odds of survival. Defender is what this episode is all about, so hunker down and get some snacks.
