Magic People TheMagicManSam

"Magic People" is an interview-style podcast that revolves around Magic: The Gathering and the humans that love the game.

This evening I had the privilege to talk to Eric Sias for the sixth episode of this show. Eric is a fellow podcaster and Magic lover alike, and he also comes from my hometown of El Paso, Texas! We talk about growing up in the Sun City, our mutual awareness of our addictive personalities, and what it means to be a PTQ grinder. Spoiler alert: Eric recently qualified for Pro Tour: Magic Origins, which is a huge accomplishment in this quickly-growing and ever-evolving game.

Episode five: MerfolkMagic5. Zakeel Gordon is a fellow YouTube content creator that I've admired for years. He comes from a financially-savvy and well-traveled background, which made for my favorite conversation yet. We discuss Magic business patterns, the parallels between collecting cardboard and shoes, and why Merfolk was so appealing to a young man of a military father.

Our fourth episode guests Wedge, the anchorman and face of The Mana Source: an MTG YouTube channel dedicated to keeping us cardslingers up to date on all the happenings in the world of Magic. Wedge talks about growing up in the REAL Upstate New York, where all the cool kids were playing with powerhouse vintage-staples and jumped ship when Kamigawa was spoiled. Wedge found Magic again in college, which lead to The Mana Source, which lead to 50,000+ subscribers in very short order, proving to the leader of the Polo Nation that knowledge is power, and power is on Dominaria.
