Draft and Draft: A MtG Podcast: Recent Episodes

Being a Magic the Gathering player and a Planeswalker can be difficult, and that is okay! But here, at the Unlucky Lounge, we kick back, relax, and enjoy all that Magic and limited has to offer here with Draft and Draft. We will look back at the past and tell stories of drafting yesterdays to perhaps see today in new and interesting ways.
