Chewie, Mike, Brian, and Dirk have been talking about Magic: The Gathering on the internet for almost 10 years (at the time of this writing). Since there are so many shows about strategy and tournaments, these dorks focus on all the fun you can have with the game outside of that, from flavor to philosophy to game design to history to whatever else we can come up with. We're funny, we're serious about what we do, and we love it!

Episode 699 - Behind Door Number Three (Heirs of Trivester #18)
The dorks return to the Heirs of Trivester, Brian's original MTG RPG campaign that we've been working on periodically for a very long time. Alaric, Karim, and The Angel are heading through the tunnel underneath the tower. Along the way we're faced with doors labeled with some of the most horrible monstrosities in the multiverse. What could possibly go wrong?
A lot. A lot could (and will) go wrong.

Recent Media Consumption - Dorks Just Chatting
The dorks get together to do a Just Chatting episode! This time we end up discussing mainly, as the title might indicate, media we've been consuming recently. Chewie goes off on the Cane and Rinse Podcast and Doom Eternal, Brian hits X-Men '97 and The Three Body Problem, Dirks talks the Fallout show, and Mike goes back to Dune 2, which he forgot we already talked about. Other things that come up: the new Avatar live-action show, massively famous self-help books, The DaVinci Code, conspiracy theories, an NES emulator on iOS, mobile gaming in general, and how Blizzard failed us all across several games. It was fun.

Episode 698 - Dorks in Cowboy Hats
The dorks return from their longer-than-intended hiatus to finally take our first (and probably only) look at Outlaws of Thunder Junction. We're hitting the mechanics and then taking a look at all the cards the pooligans in the TMP Discord recommended for us. You should join it too so you can tell us what to do!

Naurgh! | Dorks Just Chatting
The dorks return with a random assortment of of nonsense! We begin by making fun of two accents, then introduce ourselves and our hair. After that Chewie makes the big Cheevos For Charity announcement (more on that below). Then we go into a lengthy conversation about other card games we've played throughout the years. That leads into a discussion about power creep in long-running games. Then it's briefly talking about new consoles and nerding out about Dune.

Episode 697 - No, Not Fallout Boy!
Remember Fallout? You know, the video game series with radiation and Nuka-Cola and Ron Perlman's voice and power armor and Vault Boy? That game series that hasn't had a good game release in almost a decade? Sure you do! And of course, Magic is releasing some Commander Decks for it under the Universes Beyond label!
The dorks are diving into the first batch of reveals from the Fallout decks and focusing, as we do with these UB sets, on how the cards relate back to the source material. Since two of us have lots of experience with the IP, we're gonna be explaining things to the other two. This was a fun one! Be sure to let us know what you think, and how much Fallout you've played!

Customer Reviews
Hooked
You have got to be kidding me! Just started listening and I'm hooked. Helpful, informative and very informative! Now leave and slam the door!
Good silly fun :)
Great show for casual magic fun and random silliness.
Great fun...
...for the casual player like me. Chewie leads his dorks on a rambling through the world of casual Mtg. The laughter just keeps on coming. Listen then go play some magic...
