    The Physical Magazine Sorcery Needed — The Ruby Core-ier

    What if TCG content wasn’t just videos, tweets, and Discord posts… but something you could actually hold? In this episode, we sit down with Jack (Electric Sorcerer), creator of The Ruby Courier—a fully physical magazine dedicated to Sorcery: Contested Realm. Inspired by classic Magic publications like The Dojo, this project brings back something the game has been missing for decades: written, collectible, analog content. We talk about:• Why he chose a magazine over YouTube or podcasts• The inspiration from old-school Magic media• How the Ruby Courier is made (DIY → professional print)• The kinds of articles inside (strategy, lore, interviews)• Expanding Sorcery’s world through writing and design• Why physical media still matters in modern TCGs This is one of the coolest community-driven projects in Sorcery—and a reminder of what made card games special in the first place. 👉 Check out The Ruby Courier (link below)👉 Support the channel: Patreon.com/EternalDurdles https://www.patreon.com/therubycoreier

In this episode, we sit down with CJ (SorceryCon Champion) to talk: Should Sorcery move to two sets per year?• Why metas risk becoming solved and stagnant• The tension between collectors, casuals, and competitive players• How small “mini-sets” could fix balance issues• Why current event timing might hurt the game’s growth• The risk of repeating Magic’s biggest mistakes• How organized play and set cadence are deeply connected• Why “healthy metas” matter more than who wins• The importance of surprise, innovation, and upsets• How LGS support depends on product flow• Can Sorcery evolve without losing what makes it special?
