Back when MTG podcasting was at it's peak.
Before the streaming wars. Before heavily edited EDH games with random E-celebrities and thousand dollar box openings.
Those were the days...
1/ Seeing this #mtg discussion pretty late, but felt a compulsion to expand on this point:
"Great players ≠ great entertainers."
Absolutely. This is why @BasicMountain & @CedricAPhillips & @YoMTGTaps are/were good, but bringing in these cerebral writer-types rarely works...
These two dinosaurs hadn't seen each other in over 8 years! 🦕 We've come a long way since walking to meet each other halfway between our respective houses back in the 90s ☺️ Happy to have spent some time together during bhj's visit to Baltimore from Hawaii (& play some #MTG ofc)
The roots of @YoMTGTaps started with being big fans of Monday Night Magic! Here we are with Tom at MTG Worlds in NYC 2007 (IIRC a young @GavinVerhey wasn't able to make it, being in high school at the time (?))
Thirty years! 🤯 How??
This is the first album that really meant something to me. It had a domino effect that undoubtedly changed the course of my life. It's at the root my friendship with @RKOlogist (through whom I also met my wife).
No In Utero, no @YoMTGTaps.
All Right! Stop, collaborate, and LISTEN!

20 years ago tomorrow—December 24, 2002—I had my first ever #MTG content published, on a site called MTGPlanet. "Goblins! A Look at Goblin Sligh in Type Two" 😄 From a broad view it's nothing special, but I was so proud of it. Still am, I suppose.
Milestone.
(Joey) Throwback from my Facebook memories: @RKOlogist and I facing off at FNM in 2010. From our body language it looks like we're both losing 😂
(👀 that @misterorange "retro" Magic Show playmat!)
