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!

The Mana Pool ·

2024/04/24

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

2024/04/16

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 Mana Pool ·

2024/03/18

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. Cheevos For Charity my big charity stream

Episode 697 - No, Not Fallout Boy!

The Mana Pool ·

2024/02/26

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

The game is afoot! The dorks are investigating The Murders at Karlov Manor for the first time! We'll be looking at all the usual suspects - the mechanics article and the card image gallery.

Episode 693 - Eventide, The Final* Mythic Conscription

The Mana Pool ·

2024/01/15

This is it! The dorks are doing the final pre-Mythic expansion, Eventide, for Mythic Conscription! This was a fun one, as we have a lot of nostalgia for Eventide. There's also a really good discussion about swapping the power level for two hybrid cycles from the previous set. Be sure to let us know what you think! This is really bizarre to say. We started Mythic Conscription waaaaay back in 2015. We are still going to do something with base/core sets, but absolutely not all of them. But as far as

The dorks kick off 2024 by...looking back at 2023! We're talking about stuff that happened in our lives over the last year. Things we did, places we went, games we played, mice we captured (wait what?), all that good stuff. Along the way we'll get distracted several times, as is our way, and tangent off into whatever other stuff captures our attention for a few minutes. How was your 2023? However it was, hopefully your 2024 will be even better! Thanks for sticking with us and happy new year! Come

The dorks return to the plane of Trivester for another installment of the MTG RPG! Yes, that is still a thing. We haven't forgotten. We'll NEVER forget! Alaric, Karim, and the Angel head into the mysterious Tower of Icolnir in an effort to figure out what's happened to its planeswalker owner. What sort of traps will they get caught in? Is Syr to be trusted? Should they open the mysterious giant door? Happy new year to all of our beloved pooligans! We hope your 2024 is even better than your 2023!

They say there's No Plane Like Home (well, we do) but what about the one known as the Homelands? That's right, we're taking a look at Ulgrotha, that place where Baron Sengir hangs out! It's a plane that hasn't been thought about in a VERY long time except for a few fan service mentions in a Commander set and a (very) small bit in the New Phyrexian Invasion. We'll take a look at the place and see what we think about moving in. And then we'll finally Brian's Magic Mad Lib that has been burning a hole
