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!

Episode 636 - Do NOT Forget Your Invitation!
Neverending Preview Season stays true to its name, and Crimson Vow is the next set to pop up. Since this was recorded on the first day of previews, we're explaining the mechanics and hitting as many cards as we can. We'll talk about how Cleave is a...
Episode 635 - The Stolen Scroll (Heirs of Trivester)
Is that another RPG episode? Wow! Sorry about the delay, we just let the time get away from us. Brian has done some retooling of the systems in the meantime, so that's neat. Our newly-vampiric friend Karim gets a probably-important scroll snatched...
Episode 634 - Video Game Movies
The dorks take a look at movies based on video games! Yes, we are reliving the horror, although there are a lot more that aren't absolutely terrible than you might think at first. After we draw some conclusions about why the movies were bad but have...
Episode 633 - A Mythic Conscription Odyssey
The dorks return with another Mythic Conscription! This time we're taking a look at Odyssey, the first set of the...well, the Odyssey Block. Some sets are great for the Mythic Conscription treatment, giving us plenty of good stuff to talk about. This...
The Mario Movie & More - Dorks Just Chatting 9-23-2021
Hey Mike's back! In this non-TMP recording, we finally get his take on the Innistrad: Midnight Hunt mechanics since he missed the two preview episodes. From there we head into some of the announcements made in the Nintendo Direct that had just...
Episode 632 - The Morning Sun Has Vanquished the Horrible Night
The dorks return to the Midnight Hunt to check out more of the cards! There's really not much else to add. That's what we did this episode. I guess I'm just filling space here. Stop reading this and go listen to the show. There's really nothing else...
Episode 631 - What a Horrible Night to Have a Curse
The dorks take a first look at the mechanics of Innistrad: Midnight Hunt! The big addition, of course, is the addition of a day/night cycle to Magic! It's a little weird, but ultimately it does make sense. Then there's the usual preview episode...
Episode 630 - The Showcase 2021 Episode
I assure you this isn't a Monday Night Magic episode, even though we're essentially just hitting the news of the day. Seemingly out of nowhere last week Wizards of the Coast dumped all the news of next year's big products on our laps, including a...
Episode 629 - The Arena-Only Card Discussion
The dorks take on a controversial topic that came up lately in the MTG world - cards and mechanics that only exist on Magic Arena. This conversation wanders all over the place, but we're primarily talking about the fact that these cards exist rather...
Dorks Just Chatting 7-29-2021
Since we haven't done an actual podcast episode in a couple weeks I decided to put the Just Chatting stream we did on July 29th up on the podcast feed to see what you all thought! There's a bit more swearing than you're used to (because it wasn't a...
