Card Advantage

This time around, we start a discussion of Dungeons and Dragons. Rich is starting a campaign soon, for his first experience with the game ever! Will he cast Magic Missile at the darkness? Only one way to find out! Our intro and outro music is the track “The Geeks Will Inherit the Earth” by the...

We’ve talked about many things, but we decided to go low-tech this time and we’re discussing actual physical board games! This one is an extended re-mix episode, with an interview with real life game designer Sean Fletcher (@wanttoseemore) of Forrest-Pruzan Creative. It’s a long episode, but trust us, it is worth it! We have only...

You know, sometimes you need a break. Sometimes you have to walk away from something you love. For both of us, we took a break from Magic: The Gathering. (Oh, and from posting shows for a bit there…) We spend some time discussing how and why that happened. Some day we will talk about picking...

In this “lost episode” (recorded late last year) your two fearless cohosts talk about TV shows that they think were/are/might be important. Perhaps they broke the mold in some way, let’s say? The episode was missing for a while, but we eventually found it. It was in a bag of plastic recycling (just to keep...

This week (in what will likely be just the first of many shows about this topic) we talk video games! What’s important? What’s not? What do we like? Tune it and find out! Rich also has an important announcement and we have a special guest appearance by Thor. Our intro and outro music is the...

It is time to re-visit a previous topic! Yes, we did not completely exhaust the vast weirdness that is anime when we last had this discussion (in Episode 109, in case you were curious!), so we brought back @squeegoblnnabob to chat about more anime. I won’t link to spoiler filled articles about these, but you might...

This time, Rich and Cluze have some frank discussion about the newly announced “Masterpiece” cards that will be appearing in sets near you. One (or more) of them might (or might not) have a reservation (or two) about the idea. Our intro and outro music is the track “The Geeks Will Inherit the Earth” by...

In this supplemental episode, Cluze and Dr. Mrs. Dr. Cluze had a way too long conversation about the Magical fun at PAX Prime 2016, where Worlds and Kaladesh were the main attractions.

Rich couldn’t be here, but we did get Mike from the Mana Pool (@themanapool or dorks@themanapool.com) and CJ from Judgecast (@cjshrader www.judgecast.com) to discuss the flavor of both the original Innistrad block and the recent Shadows Over/Eldritch Moon block. It is way better than the last time we talked Innistrad flavor. Trust me. Our intro...

This week, we talk about lessons to be learned from Pokeon. No, we’re not kidding. We talk about Pokemon. I mean it. Seriously. NOTE: Our name is changing! The Card Advantage podcast is becoming Random Discard. Don’t panic. Same show, new name! Our intro and outro music is the track “The Geeks Will Inherit the...

Ok, this show was supposed to be about Eldritch Moon, but it kind of ended up… weird. Consider yourself warned. NOTE: Our name is changing! The Card Advantage podcast is becoming Random Discard. Don’t panic. Same show, new name! Our intro and outro music is the track “The Geeks Will Inherit the Earth” by the...

We needed to address something from long ago, but once that was out of the way, we really just talked about books we like. No, we’re not kidding. It’s summer, we finally have some free time to read! We’re told that reading is like staring at some paper for hours while having vivid hallucinations. Try...

Eternal Masters is almost upon us! The full set is spoiled, but how does it look? Rich and Cluze take a closer look at the set and the cards. They also have opinions about things.     NOTE: Our name is changing! The Card Advantage podcast is becoming Random Discard. Don’t panic. Same show, new...

Fans of anything can be very vocal and have a lot to say. Sometimes the powers that be listen to that feedback and actually react to those vocals. This can be a good or a bad thing. This week, we explore this idea as it applies to some recent events in MTG (and some other...

It is finally time to talk about that necessary (it is) evil (it really is): The Reserved List. While we do touch a bit on the history, this is more a philosophical discussion of the beast. Link to cached version of reserved list is here. NOTE: Our name is changing! The Card Advantage podcast is...

We were going to talk about the Reserved List, but the Planeswalkers of Shadows Over Innistrad were too cool to wait. So we are talking Shadows cards this time. Our bad. We blame WotC for making a cool set. Our intro and outro music is the track “The Geeks Will Inherit the Earth” by the...

From time to time, we like to discuss things outside of Magic, and this is one of those times. We go off-topic to discuss anime! We brought along @squeegoblnnabob to discuss some of our favorite anime shows and characters. Please Note: We had some audio issues with the show this week, so the sound quality...

Every set gets a name, but, in the same way that not every set is a home-run, not every set name is great. This week we are joined by CJ from Judgecast (@cjshrader) while we grade the names of pretty much every expansion set ever. What’s the best set name? What is the worst? You will have...

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to talk to the person who is responsible for the complex and curious beast that is the Magic Comprehensive Rules? We used to wonder that too, so we had him as a guest! Joining Cluze on this week’s show is Matt Tabak (@tabakrules), the rules manager...

We are back for 2016, just in time to talk about the mechanics and cards of Oath of the Gatewatch. Spoiler: there are some cards that Rich really likes.   Our intro and outro music is the track “The Geeks Will Inherit the Earth” by the awesome band “I Fight Dragons” and is used with...
