Episode 74 of The Memory Jar, a Magic: The Gathering podcast about the cards, decks, people, and stories that make Magic the game we love.

This week, we look back at the original Kamigawa block. What was the story? What were the themes? What were some of these cards (okay, seriously, what were most of these cards)?!? Despite being overpowered in general, these sets did contain many powerful cards for traditional constructed and some EDH staples.

This week’s Random Card: Whisperwood Elemental! Let’s manifest!

We also talk about our philosophy for playing Commander, and Christian’s defensible decision to lose a game. Bonus: Tombstone Stairwell story!
