Mana Rant is a informative / comedy podcast that talks about Magic the Gathering, with heavy focus on MTG Arena, the Historic format and Brawl. And the longest running Historic podcast we know of! Show is Hosted by The Mana Dorks (Drunken Dork, Michael Apollo, and Hoshi) 3 Best friends that have been playing MTG most of their lives. The show flows through the stages of Magic and includes segments like: "Reddit Rants", a super fun MTG knowledge game, we call the "Horse **** Card Game". "MTG news", "Meta Game Show Case", and many more.
