Episode 27a – Talking the Talk part 1

In this episode Mike, Dirk, and I begin the discussion of the many, many terms that get thrown around in a game of Magic.  Not the usual things like keyword abilities and phases of the turn and whatnot.  Oh no, we’re talking about the unique language that Magic players have invented to describe what’s going on.  Have you ever topdecked a fatty?  Have you ever looted into burn?  How about that time your opponent was tapped out and you decided to roll with an alpha strike, only to have him pitch a card to use his trick?  And everyone has chumped with a weenie, whether they want to admit it or not.  If you have no idea just what in the name of Jonny Magic I’m talking about, then this is definitely the episode for you. 

Sadly, the discussion about slang terms ran incredibly long, so all you’re getting here is the first half of the conversation.  Stay tuned for Episode 27b, coming soon to an Internet near you.
