Show Notes:

Properly reading a Magic card, and then translating that into an understanding of how it actually functions, is much more difficult than it sounds. Even veteran players mess it up all the time. This episode, we’ll teach you how to navigate the minutiae of rules text templating so you can better grasp what your cards actually do.
