Magic: The Gathering - A Battle of Wits?

Decision Space is a board game podcast about the decisions in games and now on YouTube.

Episode Ten

It's our the big one-zero, and we make it a doozy by covering the legendary Magic: The Gathering. Was it perhaps too bold to attempt to cover the decisions in Magic: The Gathering in a single podcast episode? Yes. Definitely yes. But hey, you have to give us some points for trying. Magic is a game that needs no introduction. It's a game that has stood the test of time and one that both Brendan and Jake have spent untold hours pouring their hearts into. Well, we are back at that again and now there is nothing left to do but answer one last lingering (souls) question: is it any good?
