Magic Pro Tour Competitor and Streamer - Mythic Maria

An initial look at the numbers might make the format look boring, but there's a massive "other" category with plenty of spice.

Gerry went to Charlotte for the RC, played a tiny bit of Magic, but has a large amount of thoughts on Modern. He might even have a new favorite deck. Before we get to that B&R announcement, there are a few other big Modern tournaments coming up, such as the Hunter Burton Memorial Open. Gerry and Dave are recording a podcast LIVE at 3PM Friday.

Magic: The Gathering Breakdown

Dragonstorm Freestyle (Prod. Rvgnarxk J)

This week, Colt, Wenzel, and Tanner venture an hour out from their home bases to go to a local oddity: a convention in the parking lot of a Sonic drive thru. They talk about what they saw, the climate, Pat, and what they bought! Not only that but Wenzel reveals a terrible secret he has kept hidden for over a decade. There's also an impromptu taste test of yet to be released beverage!

Episode 397 - The Lads at Sonic Coney Con 2025

Wir starten mit gewaltiger Verspätung in das Jahr 2025, doch das Warten hat sich gelohnt: nicht nur durch die beachtliche Podcast-Länge von knapp über 3 Stunden, sondern vor allem unseren großartigen Gast. Christoph Greischberger vom TCU Graz entführt uns in die Welt der Trading Card Games und erzählt uns über die Faszination an bekannten Spielen wie Magic the Gathering, Pokemon und Yu-Gi-Oh!, warum Flesh and Blood sein persönlicher Liebling ist, was sich in der beachtlich großen Trading Card Szene in Graz abspielt und wie es bei internationalen Veranstaltungen läuft. Ihr findet in den Show Notes auch eine von ihm kuratierte Empfehlungsliste von YouTube-Kanälen und Podcasts. In der „Wir müssen reden“ Rubrik geht es unter anderem um große Kaliber wie die aktuelle Staffel von The Last of Us, Andor und The White Lotus, und in „Humanity on Trial“ wird es wieder einmal (finanz)politisch.

// 3:29 – Galaktische Lyrik
// 9:45 – Wir müssen reden
// 1:45:22 – Hauptthema: Trading Card Games
// 2:55:42 – Humanity on Trial Nr. 9

Episode 415 - AYCH MTG League 2025: Season One, Tournament One (Tarkir: Dragonstorm)

This episode dives into the world of tabletop gaming with Mark Azzam, founder of Back to Games and Boardgame Space, and the creative mind behind tabletop.me, the UAE’s first convention dedicated to board and card gaming.
After 18 years as an airline pilot, Mark traded the skies for the tabletop, helping shape an entirely new gaming culture in the UAE. We talk about how this community grew from a single store into a regional movement, why tabletop gaming is seeing a resurgence alongside digital games, and how it’s inspiring creativity, collaboration, and connection across generations
