This week I am joined by Brian David-Marshall. Brian was one of the first tournament organizers, then co-founding perhaps the most famous game store in the world, Neutral Ground. Brian has also been a fixture at events as a WoTC contractor

In our conversation we talk about getting involved with Magic, event planning, store-running, 9/11, and lots more. We had a fun talk and I hope you enjoy our conversation.

Episode 4: Skaff Elias, An Eye to the Future

This week I am joined by Skaff Elias. Skaff was one of the early playtesters of pro-Magic and joined early WoTC. Quickly Skaff distinguished himself as brilliant, a hard worker, and who was focused on Magic's long-term success.

In our conversation we talk about inventing the Pro Tour, targets costs for competitive players, the Harry Potter TCG, and lots more. I was very fortunate to talk to Skaff and I hope you enjoy.

My guest this is week is Mark Rosewater. Mark is the head designer of Magic, in charge of the process that creates new cards. But he's also a prolific communicator, writing a million words a year about Magic and games in general.

During our chat we talked about Hollywood, the Pro Tour, diversity, and lots more. This was really fun.
