Magic: The Gathering Drive to Work Podcast
Aug 14, 2026 · 32 min · 13 segments
This is part four of a new series, based on a talk I gave at MagicCon: Amsterdam, where I talk about the design of all the cards I had a major hand in that would later be banned or restricted.
This is based on a talk I did at, um, MagicCon Amsterdam, um, where I talked about every single card, uh, that I ever made that got banned or restricted.
Um, the reason I'm doing the series is when I did it as a talk, I only had an hour, and so I was just speeding through things.
Uh, but these stories are, are interesting and they actually go on a little longer than that, so I'm actually doing a multi-part series, obviously I'm up to part four, um, to sort of walk through all these different things and give you a more in-depth version of what happened.
So I did this, uh, the first three s- parts before, I did two weeks away, going to MagicCon Amsterdam and going to San Diego Comic-Con, both of which there are podcasts either, uh, uh, you've heard already or they're coming, that I've recorded.
Um, so, um, oh, no, did I tell this story? I think I did tell the Gifts Ungiven story, so we're gonna move on to the one after that.
