Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of the Magic Show. This week we're live in Los Angeles for the Alara Reborn Prerelease hosted by SunMesa Events! With some help from Glenn Godard I was able to make my way to the West Coast, chat and gunsling with players there, and feature a great interview with Magic artist and flavor text guru Matt Cavotta. Let's go!
Special thanks to Glenn and Jody Godard of SunMesa Events, all of the players I chatted and played against, and Matt Cavotta for their contributions to this episode!
