PODCAST

The Mana Pool

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!

Dorks Arguing About the MCU pt 1

The Mana Pool ·

2022/07/06

The dorks hopped on Tiermaker to argue about the MCU! Of course because we went so in-depth we only made it through the first two phases, so you'll have to wait for the rest of the tiermaking.

Episode 653 - The Tomb of Starkness

The Mana Pool ·

2022/06/29

The dorks are joined by our old buddy Stark Maximum this episode! Why? Because we're doing a No Plane Like Home for The Sword Coast (you know, where Baldur's Gate resides) and we don't know anything about the place. And since Stark is all about D&D, and D&D's primary location these days is the Forgotten Realms, and The Sword Coast is located there...well there it is. Also we brought up some recent events at the end of the episode. It should be noted this was recorded the day before the US Supreme

The Mana Pool ·

2022/06/06

The dorks are back with more Battle for Baldur's Gate! This time we're taking another look at the actual set, then migrating over to the cards that are exclusive to the Commander precons. There's a lot of bizarre stuff going on here. Be sure to stay to the end for things to get more serious, because it's important stuff.

Episode 650 - Taking the Initiative on Baldur's Gate

The Mana Pool ·

2022/05/22

The dorks take our first look at Battle for Baldur's Gate! We'll be explaining Backgrounds simply, get mildly frustrated with Initiative, discuss Gates and be unsure of their numbers, and the rest of the usual nonsense that we get up to on preview episodes.

Episode 649 - A Star Wars Episode

The Mana Pool ·

2022/05/10

Recorded on Revenge of the 5th, the dorks return to spend an entire episode talking about various aspects of Star Wars! We'll begin with how we first encountered Star Wars back when we were just wee little dorks, and from there the conversation just flows from one thing to another. It should be clear that we all love (most of) Star Wars, and we're all very passionate about it! Let us know what you think of any of the things we talked about this episode!

Episode 648 - Are Wishes Mythic?

2022/05/03

The dorks return with another Mythic Conscription! This time we're looking at Judgment, the one set in Magic weighted towards Green and White. The one question that starts the episode and lingers throughout the entire time is in the title - are the Wishes Mythic? Be sure to let us know what you think! Come join us in the future!

The dorks return once again to hit the new stuff in New Capenna! Most of us anyway, one dork was in a tropical paradise at time of recording.

Episode 645 - First Look at New Capenna

The Mana Pool ·

2022/04/11

The dorks are back, to do exactly what the title says. We're hitting the new mechanics, the old mechanics, and then poking around the card image gallery. The set mechanics are pretty neat without being super-complicated, and the 1920's Chicago organized crime vibes are very real.

The Mana Pool ·

2022/04/05

The dorks gather again and chat about stuff with no plan! This one was a lot of fun, as we flowed from topic to topic without sad awkward pauses. We talked about VR stuff, old games, kids' eyes, video games, adaptations of things to other media, and lots of other stuff! Come join us in the future!

Episode 644 - A Lot Changes in 1200 Years

The Mana Pool ·

2022/03/22

After a brief look at the coming drug running theme in New Capenna (that is sadly not a joke), the dorks are focusing once again on Neon Dynasty. This time we're looking at how Kamigawa itself has changed over the last twelve centuries and doing a No Plane Like Home. Will neo-Kamigawa be another plane you should absolutely avoid, or will it end up being a nice place to live? Come join us in the future!

Dorks Just Chatting - The Horror Question (and More)

The Mana Pool ·

2022/03/11

The dorks have returned with another no-planned-topic Just Chatting episode! We bounce around with assorted nonsense for a while, then make fun of Flat Earthers and Sovereign Citizen morons. Chewie tells the tale of his own injury and Mike's generosity, and Brian asks why there were so many crypto commercials during the Super Bowl. After all that, Chewie asks the dorks whether they like horror as a genre, and why not? The resulting discussion goes on for almost an hour by itself and (in my opinion)

Episode 643 - Better Late Than Never!

The Mana Pool ·

2022/02/24

Hey check it out, an episode that's two weeks late! Sorry about that, my computer threatened to die and so I was unable to get to the files. More information at the beginning of the episode. So yeah, the dorks are checking out the entire CIG for Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty. Because this episode is two freakin' weeks old I have no idea what to put here to sound all clever and stuff. Except that DJs aren't bards. Clearly they're artificers. Duh. Card Image

Episode 641 - And Then 1200 Years Passed

The Mana Pool ·

2022/02/01

The dorks are back for their first actual TMP episode of 2022! We're diving headfirst into the previews for Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty for the first time! We'll look at the cards that were revealed at the end of last year, the mechanics, and then get started on some of the other cards that were shown on this first day of previews. The stuff they're doing in this set is a trip. Mechanics article: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/feature/kamigawa-neon-dynasty-mechanics-2022-01-27 Card Image

Episode 640 - Inspired by Listener Mail

The Mana Pool ·

2021/12/20

The dorks are back with an episode, as the title says, inspired by some actual emails we got from actual listeners! Remember email? Wow! So we're starting with a Story Circle! It's been a while, so the Story Circle is where we pick a legendary creature to be the Commander and go around in a circle one by one and add cards to the deck until we have a tiny skeleton that could be built upon. It's a feature we used to do a LOT until WotC's legendary creature design took a turn to cater to the Commander

Episode 639 - Why Do You Torment Me So?

The Mana Pool ·

2021/12/13

The dorks return with a regular podcast episode! This week we're doing a Mythic Conscription, and the target is Torment! This was the first set that was heavily intentionally weighted towards one color, and at the expense of two others! How does that affect the rares and their possible Mythic-ness?

Thanksgiving, Beat 'Em Ups, & More | Dorks Just...

The Mana Pool ·

2021/12/06

Because of a potential lack of Brian, we decided to do a Just Chatting stream instead of a proper podcast episode this week. We talk about Skyrim being rereleased AGAIN, a particularly vicious bout of hiccups that had after effects, and then Brian shows up, and we spent a few minutes trying to figure out what was up with his computer. Then we went into beat 'em up games and X-Men games, followed by the Legend of Zelda cartoon. Mike tells us about the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit he saw, and from there
