No More BS

In this raw, powerful, and unflinching episode, Elder Mage—founder of MageTCG and Eldritch Mage Productions—breaks the silence on the slow collapse of the trading card game industry, the suffocation of local game stores, and the creative bankruptcy of corporate giants who forgot why this genre mattered in the first place.

From the streets of Harvey, IL to the frontlines of fantasy gaming, Elder Mage shares his personal story of adversity, resilience, and rebellion. Born into poverty. Raised by a hardworking Hispanic family. First in his family to go to college. And now—on a mission to rebuild everything we once loved about IRL gaming, storytelling, and imagination.

This is more than a game.
It’s a movement.
It’s a war cry.
And it’s your invitation to believe again.
