Magic: The Gathering Drive to Work Podcast

This is another episode in my "Lessons Learned" series where I look back at sets I led or co-led and walk through the many lessons I learned from doing the design. In this podcast, I talk about what I learned designing March of the Machine.

In this podcast, I sit down with Ovidio Cartagena, the art director for Duskmourn: House of Horror, to talk about the visual look of the set.

In this podcast, I sit down with Annie Sardelis, the lead vision designer of Duskmourn: House of Horror, to talk about the early design of the set. Annie also led the design of the set's Commander decks, so we talk about those as well.

In this podcasts, I talk about the history of various Magic card borders and frames.

We banned a card this week that stirred up a lot of talk. I then wrote a blog entry on it that stirred up additional talk. This podcast is me explaining the issue with the extra context that having 30 minutes to talk provides.

In this podcast, I explore why the colors are allies with those next to them in the color pie and enemies with those across.

Each August, I write an article where I review the last year's worth of Magic design. This podcast looks into the history and philosophy behind these articles.

In this podcast, I sit down with Zack Stella, Bloomburrow's art director, to talk about the visual look of the set.

Thus far, there have been seven stages of Magic design. In this podcast, I walk through each stage and explain the changes each brought to the game.

In this podcast, I sit down with Neale LaPlante Johnson, the lead worldbuilding designer for Bloomburrow, to talk about the making of the plane.
