10kposts Masterclass: Magic: The Gathering ft Lucky Paper Radio

We're joined by Andy Mangold and Anthony Mattox, the co-hosts of the Lucky Paper Radio podcast, a show about Magic : The Gathering.
Anthony and Andy talk about how they got started in Magic, how to play the game, and the ways in which people can play it, both in card form and online, today. They also talk about the state of the game today, from tense relationships between competitive players. traders and speculators, as well as the corporate ambitions of Wizards of the Coast, who may be trying to make the game a new Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Finally, we talk about how MTG cards are valued, how and why some finance guys see them as more stable assets than housing, and whether unregulated MTG finance markets might be making the competitive side of the game feel less sustainable in the long run.
