Podcasts about magic the gathering

In this episode we try to figure out why Joe Rogan is the way that he is, why Spider-Man is making Magic: The Gathering players angry, what carbonated breakfast cereal tastes like, if Spencer's game show pitch "Reverse Jeopardy" works, and why the last episode got a huge surge in listeners.

Universes Beyond: What started as a single Secret Lair of The Walking Dead cards has now ballooned to encompass over half of all cards being released next year. Love it or hate it, UB has been a polarizing topic in the MTG community. Do Furby and Dwight from The Office belong in the same game as Urza and Mishra?

This week our episode ACTUALLY recorded (sorry Zach and Shannon sound like robots, still figuring it out) so we can talk about Game Pass raising prices, Magic the Gathering becoming the Funko Pops of the TCG world, and Zach is DEEP into Hades 2's grasp.

All anyone wants to talk about right now is Electronic Arts, and reasonably so. The American publishing titan is on the verge of being purchased by external interests for $55 billion, and when we say external, we mean it. The major player in reverting EA to a private corporation is Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, muddying this already complex deal that also happens to be the largest leveraged buyout in human history. Perhaps not surprisingly, this gives us much to pontificate on. Other news this week includes rumblings of a DualSense revision with a removable battery, the very real potential that a Prototype remaster is imminent, the wisdom (or perhaps lack thereof) in Forza Horizon 6 skipping PlayStation 5 at launch, and more. We then get into listener inquiries to wrap up the show, as we always do. What are our thoughts on Xbox's staggering Game Pass price hike? How do we feel about Magic: The Gathering's stylish new collaboration with PlayStation? Is Destiny officially on death's door? Will Dustin have a coffee named after him at a cafe in Texas?

You're listening to Bardtenders! In this episode of "The Mixing Glass", Ross Struss discusses starting the Bards and Barrels podcast, favorite Dungeons & Dragons memories, and the pursuit of discovering and drinking amazing craft beer. ------------Ross Struss is one of the three hosts and co-founders of Bards and Barrels. His journey into D&D started with board games, eventually leading to TTRPGs, where he found a passion for stepping into character and immersing himself in the worlds they build.No stranger to the mic, Ross honed his skills as a play-by-play announcer and DJ during his time in college. His endless enthusiasm for chatting about the things he loves makes him a natural podcast host. When he's not smiting foes as a Paladin, you'll find him diving into all things nerdy—Star Wars, Magic: The Gathering, Lord of the Rings, and more—not to mention having a craft beer with friends.Bards and Barrels was born from the simple joy of sitting around, drinks in hand, discussing epic campaigns. What started as casual conversations grew into a show where Ross and his co-hosts share their love for D&D one laugh, story, and critical hit at a time.----------Don't miss out on any of the action!  Head to www.bardtender.com to stay up to date with all of the Bardtender content, find resources for mental and physical wellbeing, get access to education materials, and check out what all of our bards are up to! Support the show

They talk about a new Voyager game (more Tuvix!), new (fan favorite Eaglemoss rerelease) ships from Fanhome, and a first-time collaboration between Star Trek and Magic: The Gathering. After that, they play Laurie’s recent interview with Robert Duncan McNeill (done for the Star Trek Family fan group) to celebrate Voyager‘s 30th anniversary and raise some money for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. They wrap up with Star Trek getting a legal ruling and some famous Trek names on 24.

One Battle After Another, is what I should rename this podcast, because the movie was that good, and a full review is inside. Plus Xbox takes another self imposed L, Sony gives itself a gold medal, and EA goes private. The Simpsons are headed back to the big screen, and an AI "actress" has Hollywood in a fervor. Plus Forza Horizon is finally headed to the land of the Rising Sun, and Ubisoft gives Assassin's Creed a new home.

Surprise bonus episode! While Abi and Ashley were together for a visit, we bought and opened our very first pack of Magic: The Gathering – Universes Beyond: The Lord of the Rings Tales of Middle-earth cards from Wizards of the Coast. Neither of us actually play Magic: The Gathering, but we couldn't resist the chance to admire the gorgeous artwork, creative details, and all the ways these cards tie into Tolkien's world. It's a short, fun episode full of first-time reactions, laughs, and a little extra Tolkien magic.https://linktr.ee/sistersoftheshirepodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/sistersoftheshirepodcast/https://www.patreon.com/sistersoftheshirepodcasthttps://open.spotify.com/show/1HIhmdeX6761vi7RyOjl8f?si=_qwdGdP7SbmAP2RWlji54w

Your Friendly Neighborhood Omenpath | Episode 446 Welcome to Lords of Limited, the podcast dedicated to getting you better at drafting in Magic: the Gathering. This week, Ben's in Atlanta at the Magic Con, so Ethan is joined by Sam Pratt from the “Rough Drafts” podcast to talk about their week 1 impression of Through the Omenpaths/Spiderman. “Are you enjoying this set?” kicks off the conversation as we dive into Pick 2 and one of the most divisive magic sets ever made. We review a couple draft logs and talk about something that we think will come up a lot more often than anticipated: enemy color pair decks!

In this week's episode of The Game Deflators, John and Ryan dive headfirst into the eerie world of Silent Hill f, sharing their early impressions and how the game's unsettling progression is shaping up. But the horror doesn't stop there—Magic: The Gathering's Spider-Man set is spinning a web of disappointment with weak pre-release numbers and sluggish sales. The duo also tackles a major retail shake-up: Costco's decision to pull all Xbox products from shelves and online. Is this a warning sign for Microsoft's gaming future, or just a strategic pivot? Then it's time to unravel the Silent Hill f steelbook fiasco at GameStop. Who dropped the ball, and why are collectors fuming? Finally, John and Ryan take a nostalgic detour with a full review of Gran Turismo 2 for the PS1—does this classic racer still hold up in 2025?   Articles covered: https://www.cbr.com/xbox-removed-from-costco-stores-america-tariffs-rising-prices/ https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/383911-silent-hill-f/81046285   Want more Game Deflators content?

This podcast is another in my quest to talk about every Magic expansion. This time I talk about the third set in the Champions of Kamigawa block, Saviors of Kamigawa.

In this podcast, I talk about the things I have to do to prepare for an upcoming MagicCon (in this case, MagicCon Atlanta).

On this week's show, we kick off with some of our favorite autumn traditions and morning routines. Then we delve into the enduring appeal of cards as a medium for games, collectibles, and artifacts that connect us to our past. We look up some prices of original Garbage Pail Kids, chat about fine dining etiquette, and try to convince Shane to buy video games in Japan. We wrap with a chat about the future of Tik Tok and how it might resemble the social media lifecycle we've witnessed over the last 20 years.

Lotsa firsties as usual! We're talking Madcave's Phantom, Detective Comics 1101 (which is a first issue in spirit by modern day standards), Ultimate Hawkeye, Robert Kirkmans Skinbreaker on Skybound via Image Comics, Viking Moon also on Image, and Twilight zone! Maybe another one I'm spacing on, but is that not enough for you?!?! I also check with Vargas on how much I should freak out about these crazy Spider-man Magic the Gathering prices. 

The dorks dive back into the Spider-Man (and the Through the Omenpaths digital nonsense version) Magic set to pick out a mess of cards to talk about. As usual with Universes Beyond stuff, we're talking about what the cards do and what they represent from the source material. Radioactive spider blood!
