I (John Noce) was blessed to have the chance to hang out with Legendary Mtg artist Jeff Labenstein alot over this last past weekend during Strategicon at the Hilton at LAX. Jeff was signing cards, drawing pics at requests of fans, much more, but above all greeting and meeting all the wonderful people that attended. I was at a Vendor table next to his table during the whole weekend event. We were having so much fun he even drew one for me, A beautiful bird token. Join us this week as a take this week, first half a quick rundown of mtg news, and the second half is all Jeff and I in my hotel Suite where I surprised Jeff with something at the end that was totally a first for him. Stay tuned to the end where jeff does something insane with me, and I mean top level history being made here. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/john-melvin-noce/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-melvin-noce/support
