S001 – Star Wars: The Force Awakens – Commanderin’ MTG Podcast

star-wars-the-force-awakens-hd-wallpaper-300In this episode, Whase Boothi (Sean) and Delph Fibre (Phil) spoil the heck out of the new Star Wars movie, Star Wars: The Force Awakens – go watch the movie before listening to this. We can’t even provide notes here because they will spoil events and characters in the movie, but we do talk a little bit of Magic: the Gathering – and where else can you hear such a fine Carrie Fisher impression?

But in most of this episode – SPOILERS!

Here are the Magic notes:

Now, go watch the movie before listening to this show.
