Magic: The Gathering Drive to Work Podcast

Every MagicCon I attend, I give a talk about various design topics. In this podcast episode, I walk through all the talks I have done and explain how I put them together.

In this episode, I sit down with Gavin Verhey, the lead designer of Magic: The Gathering® | Star Trek™, to talk all about the design of the set.

This is the second and final episode where I go through the design of every Book, a relatively new artifact subtype.

Earlier this year we introduced the Book subtype. As of recording this episode, there are currently 49 in Magic. I talk about them all (well, half of them).

In this episode, I talk all about my latest trip to New York Comic Con.

In this episode, I talk about a special kind of design team that we call a mini team. What are they and how do we use them? I explain it all here.

I'm often asked, "Will Magic run out of design space?" This episode seeks to answer that question.

Exploratory design and vision design are the first steps in the design process. There are many teams that do work after we're done, and it's important that we set them up for success. This podcast episode talks about the many ways we do that.

There are a number of frequently used artifact tokens that have their rules attached to their definition in the rules. I talk about them in this episode.

In this episode, I sit down with Ben Weitz, lead play designer for Reality Fracture Limited, to talk about how we approached the set for Limited.
