This is part three of three going over my talk from MagicCon: Atlanta looking at the top 20 most influential Magic expansions of all time.

This podcast talks about the history of the proliferate mechanic.

This week on The Game Deflators, John and Ryan kick things off with their latest gaming pickups and a spoiler-filled discussion of Silent Hill f. The guys break down the ending and share whether it lived up to the series' legacy—or left them scratching their heads. Next, it's on to Magic: The Gathering, where recent comments from Mark Rosewater have reignited debate around Universes Beyond. Is Hasbro enriching the game with crossovers—or forcing them down players' throats? Then the duo unpacks the buzz around a potential Nintendo hack. What's the story, and how could it impact gamers and developers alike? Finally, they dive into a retro horror gem with a review of Siren on PS2. Does this stealth-heavy survival title still deliver the scares, or has time dulled its edge? 00:00 Introduction to the Game Deflators Podcast 01:09 Gaming Pickups and Equipment 07:18 Silent Hill F: Gameplay and Story Analysis 27:14 Gaming Nostalgia and Spooky Season 31:55 Magic: The Gathering's Universes Beyond Controversy 44:09 The Future of Universes Beyond and Crossovers 52:54 Magic Card Collecting and Pricing 55:01 Nintendo Hacked: Implications for the Gaming Industry 01:01:55 Siren: A Deep Dive into Gameplay and Mechanics 01:17:29 Final Thoughts on Game Pricing and Value   Want more Game Deflators content?
