Was she the victim of foul play, an accident, or did she choose to disappear? In this episode of The Vanished, we retrace Diana’s last known movements, strange witness accounts, and the lingering mystery that has never been solved or.. was never meant to be solved.

Big spells with a backup plan! We've got all of your entries in our Four Weeks challenge, where designers had to make a spell you can cast for either 8 mana or 2 mana! We've got lots of Cleave and Prototype, some Spree, and plenty of other innovations. Yet another fun design deep-dive!

Final Fantasy previews are here and we've assembled a heroic party to talk all about it! Tim and Juliet are joined by the wonderful Ash Parrish of the Verge to break down all the cards.

You Make the Pack is our community project where we build a pack of Magic cards, one card at a time! What starts as a blank slate quickly narrows into a specific vision. Past packs were Food Hell World, Declining Clockwork Empire, and The Beach That Makes You Old. For this episode we're looking at everyone's cards for this new YMTP. We've got snorf, story, spores and more. Come along with us as we explore all the possibilities.

We've got a super cool guest for our episode this week! Principal game designer on the new Teamfight Tactics season, Shawn Elizabeth Main!! Not only that, Shawn was the lead on Conspiracy, so you know we're getting some multiplayer Magic talk in too.

Unpacking - Wrenchmar 1:26:03

il y a 12 weeks1:26:03

1:26:03

Unpacking is where we go through a pack one card at a time and learn what we can just from that pack. No archetype lists, no explanation of mechanics, just what's on the cards. It's a great way to both see what the packs can tell us, but also brainstorm things that COULD be in a set but aren't. (also shh... we told Bradley he was recording an ep about Foundations so we could suprise him) The pack: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1AmyuCVn_UGWJ_cGtpBhtX7abaEiGeLnGVbTuz98bBg4/edit?usp=sharing Bradley's twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/bradleyrose Join Beacon of Creation's Discord: https://discord.gg/t88Vpwh Show Notes: https://beaconofcreation.com…

1:50:10

We've got Bass back on the pod to tell us EVERYTHING about the short-lived Transformers TCG! This game burned short but burned bright. You start with your whole team in play, and each card has value both as a spell but also during the super cool "flip" phase of combat! Like all Crossover eps, we also sprinkle in plenty of ideas of how to cross those mechanics back into Magic.
