We’ve got Bass back on the pod to tell us EVERYTHING about the short-lived Transformers TCG! This game burned short but burned bright. You start with your whole team in play, and each card has value both as a spell but also during the super cool “flip” phase of combat! Like all Crossover eps, we also sprinkle in plenty of ideas of how to cross those mechanics back into Magic.
