Ponder me this. That was too easy. In my final interview from the trenches of Grand Prix Kansas City, artist Dan Scott and I talk about his roots (spoiler: they're planted very close), his undefined style, and his unappreciated Ogre. It's a shorty, but a goodie.

Artist Liz Nugent has had a bad day, but she put aside her apartment-flooding woes to chat for a bit. We talk about her influences, graphic memoirs, her transformational art school experience, women in Magic art, her time at Star City Games and much, much more. Her playmats et al are part of the Creature Collection which can be found at StarCityGames.com. You can find her work and contact information at liznugentdraws.com. And the video I edited, "Liz Nugent: Creature Collector" can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pmaf7uMhB_s

A couple months ago, Marshall made the leap and quit his day job to become a professional poker player and Magic content producer. In this episode, recorded at Grand Prix KC, we chat about how that's going for him, how he got started, and what it's like "living the dream" (spoiler: not as glamorous as you might think). 

About 18 minutes in, there's a short break in our conversation where we recorded one part, took a break so he could work, then recorded the second part, just so you're aware of the jump.

My friend Joe Hemmann will not, sadly, be known as the player who won a Grand Prix with the oft-marginalized Living End deck. He will, however, go down in history as a guy who made a big, big mistake. We all make mistakes. We're all thrown off by the occasional curveball. So, we talked about it, himself, his deck, what that kind of success means, and how he was able to laugh off such a beautiful punt.

Equipped with +2/+1 Sword of Beard and Northern Accent, Rob McKenzie achieved his Level 3 status at our hometown Grand Prix in Kansas City. A fixture in the midwestern judge community, he helps with everything from local events to Grand Prix to SCG Opens and more. To boot, he organizes a slew of events for local and regional judges including an upcoming conference that he announces in this episode! For his effort, he's been deemed a Captain by his Regional Coordinator and is a crucial key to shrinking the vast expanse that is his region. He's an all-around stand-up guy and I'm excited to have talked with him. He can be contacted via email at robbit@gmail.com.
