Show Notes:

When you’ve been playing Magic for years, it can be hard to remember how difficult it is when you’re just starting out. Teaching new players can be a daunting task.

Fortunately here at the Command Zone, we’ve got a ton of experience introducing others to the game and we’re gonna share some of the best techniques and guidelines to make teaching Magic as fun as playing it. With Foundations bringing us a whole new crop of players and intro products, now’s the perfect time to grow your community and welcome new people to the Gathering.
