How to be Smart at Magic the Gathering || Get Your Deck out Ep 19

In this episode of "Get Your Deck Out," we have a guest JMF and take a dive deep into the state of Magic: The Gathering from the fallout of the Spider-Man set to the evolving role of written content in the MTG ecosystem.

The usual sharp takes on modern format diversity, predictions for 2026 set releases, and a few spicy segues (including Boris the Spider Rider), this episode is a whirlwind of insight, humor, and community-driven passion.
