The Astrolab: Recent Episodes
Joe Dyer & Scott Campbell
Welcome to the Astrolab! The podcast that everyone seems to want to ban, because it's just too good at fixing mana and drawing cards!
Hosted by Joe Dyer (@volrathxp) and Scott Campbell (@MTGPackFoils), join the Astrolab as we talk about a wide variety of Magic: The Gathering related topics!
Joe and Scott are back after a month of busy stuff to talk about Bowmasters. And other stuff, of course.
Joe and Scott go over some local tournament scene issues, call in the Pinkertons, and Scott goes on a tirade.
Just a regular day in The Astrolab.
Joe & Scott get one final episode in before the end of 2022 and the holidays.
