This week, we talk about plants! Plants have been around since Magic’s very first set. We look at both cards that are plants, and some cards that aren’t but still care about plants. Prepare yourself for some confused ranting about how exactly plants work flavorfully in Magic. Also, which commander is an eco-fascist? Tune in to find out!

This week, we look back at the year that was...2005? That’s right - totally recorded on December 31, 2005, this episode looks back at a wild year for Magic. Bannings! Ninjas!
