Show Notes:

They haven’t played Magic since 1996, but now they’re getting thrown into the deep end!

In this episode, JLK reunites his long-lapsed original playgroup to show them the (extremely different) world of modern-day Magic. What will they make of the game’s current design and power level? What do they remember from their spellslinging days? And what insights do they have into the mysterious Josh Lee Kwai origin story?
