We’ve got Gaby back on the pod for more live designing! You don’t need to know anything about the game to listen… we cover what you need! We take a look at the cards for Halsin, Minthara, and Jaheira from the Magic set and give each a facelift to match them to their personalities in the videogame.

- Is technically in charge of the emerald grove but is chill about it
