Hello everybody, and welcome to the first of three hour-long talks recorded on the Carnival Ecstasy a few weeks ago. Yes, even though most didn't get the chance to go that doesn't mean you can't take in the discussions had while at sea. In this hour-long discussion, Hall of Famer Mike Turian talks about developing Conflux, his favorite cards, development stories, and where certain cards and mechanics come from. Enjoy!
Special thanks to Mike Turian and Legion Events.
