We're Live!

Welcome to the new "The Magic Sock" podcast website. If you're new listening to The Magic Sock, welcome! What's the fuss all about? In The Magic Sock podcast, I talk about all things related to the Magic: The Gathering card game. I've been playing Magic: The Gathering for over 14 years (I started when Unlimited was out) and I've been doing this podcast for over two years. I've also written a good many articles over the last few years. I've had articles published in Beckett Magic The Gathering magazine (which sadly ceased publication in 2007) and have had two of my decks published in articles in Inquest Gamer (which also sadly ceased publication in 2007). One of my favorite published articles appeared last year on the official Magic: The Gathering website.

So if you're looking for a cool podcast to listen to, take a moment to subscribe and you'll be able to enjoy all the episodes here. If you're new to the world of podcasting, here is a video to teach you how to subscribe. Welcome aboard and, remember: Keep playing Magic!

Hi Ron,
Just to let you know that Cantrip magazine is a Spanish magazine dedicated to MTG.looks like they are based in Madrid and they have some cool stuff if you can read Spanish. Here's a link to their webpage.

Hey Ron,
I don't know if you're trying to reach nostalgic former players or the kids who are internet savvy and most likely to pick up your podcast so if it's the former then you're probably doing well. Personally, I'm a new player and when you do "Blast from the Past" I fast forward the podcast. I'll never play with any of the cards you speak of and feel confident most new players won't. Those cards are either too expensive &/or difficult to come by. Just a tip: I'd be interested in your experiences with past sets only going back in the current extended format (Onslaught) and forward: Mirrodin, etc. I'm sure younger audiences may feel the same way but if they're not you're target then everything's fine.
Thanks for your time.
P.S. I just listened to your recent cast mentioning Quillspike. It works great with Devoted Druid and either Rite of Consumption or the new shards red instant just like it (Soul's Fire?) but I know you're mentioned you don't care for combos.
