Show Notes:

So you think you know how Magic works, huh? WRONG! It’s almost impossible to fully know the game! Magic has hundreds of pages of rules, and some of them make no sense at all. This episode, we’re going through Magic’s weirdest, most unintuitive, least understood rules and telling you exactly how they work and exactly what boggles our minds about them. Ready to learn something? Let’s get into it!
