Shivam Bhatt and Ben Wheeler absolutely love Magic: The Gathering, and in this podcast they go through the history of the game set by set, examining each one through the lens of Commander. Join us as two old grognards in the back of the LGS pick up forgotten and beloved cards from the ancient days and reminisce about how awesome our game is!
The Shivam and Wheeler Love Magic podcast is an absolute delight for any Magic: The Gathering enthusiast. From the moment I started listening, it was clear that this podcast was something special. Shivam's description of it being like two guys chatting at the back of your local game store couldn't be more accurate. The casual and friendly tone of the podcast creates a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere that makes you feel like you're just hanging out with friends, talking about random commons.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the wealth of knowledge and expertise that both Shivam and Wheeler bring to each episode. These are two highly educated individuals when it comes to MTG, and their insights into various cards are incredibly informative. Their discussions cover not only the strategic aspects of the game but also delve into its rich history, lore, and flavor. It's evident that they have a genuine love for the game, which shines through in their enthusiastic conversations.
Additionally, the chemistry between Shivam and Wheeler is fantastic. Their hilarious interactions and banter make for an entertaining listening experience. They play off each other so well, creating a dynamic that keeps you engaged throughout each episode. Even if you don't play Commander (the primary focus of the podcast), you'll still find yourself thoroughly enjoying their discussions.
If there's one downside to this podcast, it's that it only releases new episodes biweekly rather than weekly. This might leave listeners craving more content from these knowledgeable hosts. However, upon reflection, it's understandable given the amount of research and preparation required for each episode. Quality over quantity seems to be their motto, which ultimately results in a polished and well-crafted show.
In conclusion, The Shivam and Wheeler Love Magic podcast is a must-listen for any Magic: The Gathering fan. Whether you're a Commander player or not, there is something to be gained from their insightful discussions about various cards from each set. The combination of their deep knowledge, humorous interactions, and genuine love for the game makes this podcast a truly enjoyable and worthwhile experience.
