The post Card Advantage #4 – What DOESN’T a Demon Desecrate? appeared first on MTGCast.

That’s right, we got TWO Hall of Famers!  Chewie (of The Mana Pool and Monday Night Magic) and Cluze (of Card Advantage) sat down with none other than Jon Finkel and Bob Maher Jr. at the very first Escapist Expo.  Finkel and Bob were there gunslinging and doing panels to promote the Gamers Helping Gamers charity, and we wanted to give them a chance to tell everyone all about it.  If you would like to know more, just hit http://gamershelpinggamers.org/

Of course, we had two of the greatest and most accomplished Magic players EVER sitting in front of us…so we had to ask a bunch of other questions too!  That’s what you do when you find yourself interviewing Jonny Magic and The Great One, you know?  Ranging from the state of Standard to power creep to the best draft format to the upcoming Return to Ravnica, we picked their brains about plenty of topics until the time (and the volume of the background noise) decided that we were finished.  It was an informative and entertaining interview, and we definitely appreciate Jon and Bob taking the time to sit down with us and talk Magic.  Now stop reading this and listen!
