and
@gggcast.bsky.social !
( @indominus-lux.bsky.social and @thelovelymedusa.bsky.social )
But also off the top uh here are some interesting folks to talk to!
@cooperleef.bsky.social and @onionbug.bsky.social
@steelcitysteph.bsky.social and @steelcitybrad.bsky.social
@commandzoe.bsky.social
@janeplaysmagic.bsky.social

@dinrovahorror.mtgcu.be @ollie.bostoncubeparty.com @gdekker.io @islandponder.bsky.social some cube event organizers, for a part of the community growing more & more
I mean, if I can be so bold as to suggest myself? I run the Diablo to D&D YT channel (@diablotodnd.bsky.social) where I'm adapting the Diablo video games into Dungeons & Dragons 5e. I've been producing videos for over a year now and release all files for open use at your own tables.
We would absolutely love to have a member of our team on to discuss the format! It follows the Vintage restricted list but your deck must be $30 or less. This results in powerful gameplay for cheaper than a Pauper deck! We've been growing fast and want powerful magic to be accessible to all!
1. Am awkward
2. Know very few things
3. Play a lot of magic
4. Fantasy nerd
5. Pro board wipes

9. Horror fan
10. WoT fan
If you want to talk about making life sized art for for a 2d game, I work for the studio that does all the major trophies for WotC and many of the statues for MagicCon.
I still think you should interview Travis King, MtG historian. He shows up in most of the Magic rare card and accessories groups with quick and encyclopedic knowledge that would even stun old timers like you and me. He seems super worth talking to.
You should talk to me about uhhh how the wind speaks in a different language in a cemetery, or how good and soft and warm a cat in a sunbeam is, or uhh how there should be more fat women in fantasy, orrrr Andor. Or either World War. Bc im a delight, obv.
What's funny is that they're two incredibly different people.
I have a really funny story about Jon that I absolutely can not tell you on a podcast, but if we ever chat in person, I'll try to remember to tell you.
Also, Jon has me blocked on Twitter, which might be related, but probably not.
That’s entirely fair. I’d imagine Richard isn’t easy to book either 😂
Ok, so who do you feel like you didn’t get to spend enough time with? Or you’ve got a slew of new questions for? Have you interviewed @dianadimicco.bsky.social yet?
@playtowinmtg.bsky.social @onemoremana.bsky.social @ashlizzlle.bsky.social @kathleen.loadingreadyrun.com @graham.loadingreadyrun.com @jarvis.bsky.social would all be awesome!
Kai and hopefully Micha too from the Comic Galerie Kassel could be interesting guests. One of the older Comic Book stores LGS in Germany. One of the stores where I got my first pack of MTG in the 90s. They have great knowledge of comics, mangas and could talk about MTG in Germany
Talk to me, but just like on the phone. We can talk on a land line. Topics:
- mortal kombat 2 main
- virtua fighter: what is it?
- why are Lengends packs so expensive?
- Pearl Jam v nirvana
-like everyone of that era, Baraka
- ugh, 3d is so lame. i'm going back to Time Killers
- dude, you saw a legends pack?? in person???
- Temple of the Dog
Is it too late to suggest me so we can just wax poetic about the PSP and UMD as a media format? Maybe a little side story about my silly Race Day project?
Okay, I'm probably not interesting enough to do this with, but I tried.
I understand. I miss experiencing that system when it was still new. I wish I could go back and re-experience it all over again. Maybe be a little more on board with the UMD Video bandwagon than I was when it was still being made.
Our journeys intersect at many points. My time working with and writing for the video game community where I first came to know you.
My transition to Magic, where you were a familiar grounding as I got my bearings.
My transition to womanhood, where your trans support made me feel safe.
@shivambhatt.bsky.social talk to @bobbiechristine.bsky.social about her amazing community building and support of the community. She helps so many get to events and get noticed.
@shivambhatt.bsky.social talk to @onionbug.bsky.social about her journey into content and how she got there. Her inspiration to put herself out there and show the world who she is.
@shivambhatt.bsky.social
Talk to
@thattcgguy.bsky.social about his journey. How he started with a group and now he’s solo. He became a father and now he’s working with @nerdgeargaming.bsky.social
Um...Im a nobody in the space. But I would love to talk to you again about anything. Possibly the positive shift in inclusion in MtG. Or why not being the only melanated person in the room is fucking cool.
I’d love to hear about magic as text for literary criticism. I used to teach creative writing and sometimes I’d use deck building (w/ the inclined student) to illustrate theme, trope, genre, even editing and outlining. I think mtg is literary in a largely undiscussed way!
This is a far shot, but there's a webcomic artist/streamer/podcaster that goes by Cube Watermelon who just got into Magic. It might be fun to talk to someone who has a presence that's fresh into the scene.
How playing against a controll deck that takes away all your agency and than waits until you drew your last card while countering and denying everything you do can be a fun game of Magic😁
@irreleverent.bsky.social is a cube designer driving innovation in the multiplayer cube space. They're known for their Descent Into Avernus cube, but their pride and joy is Cut-Rate Commander, the best three player magic I've ever seen. Not to mention their work with their gf @myagic.bsky.social
I am once again doing my recommendation of the guys at @mtflavouring.bsky.social ! They're a great pair of Bri'ish guys who have a fun podcast about flavor in Magic, along with the occasional interview and such.

The owner of @queenrook.bsky.social went to GAMMA while we were at #MCChicago and brought back a lot of insights about this topic. We've been discussing it since we got back
@women-in-magic.bsky.social! Best group about equal spaces!
@thejundfund.bsky.social about setting goals in the space and crushing them
@tryingcasualgames.bsky.social cause they launch magic careers with their show!
And like I said last time I would love be on again! <3
I don't want to put him on the spot with a specific topic, but I'm absolutely sure there is. Media analysis, cooking, possibly marine biology. Rad's a sharp guy with a broader scope of interests than I think he lets on here, though that's my observation about him
i could talk about jace forever, or if we want a more specific topic, maybe my analysis of jace as a trans man. i think "why every character is my favorite character" is a great topic too. it's true i don't reveal too much about myself online, but i'm willing to talk :)
If you haven’t set anything up with @johnhartness.bsky.social he would be an awesome guest. Author/publisher/mtg lover/huge nerd with an even bigger heart
That's cool. I ended up having three surgeries since the first of the year, and am just now back to what passes for normal around here. But I'm pretty wide open for March and April, so let's do this! :)
Second of all, Hi Shivam! I'm a huge fan :D I love what you do and the joy you bring and, like Nick said I've been doing a series of vids on the FFxMTG cards breaking down the lore & how it plays into the cards, you can see 'em here: https://www.tiktok.com/@anoriand?_t=ZT-8uIeJosFEdS&_r=1

But a better question is have you had @bugsmaytrix.bsky.social on the show yet? 👀
But we can talk about building commander decks within the new system if you want. ♥️
Oh wait, you mean NOT just with my cats?

He's been doing some hype/lore videos about the new FF cards that really dig into the easter eggs of the cards and how they tie back to the games.
