We’re gonna talk about MMA technique, but before we do that, we’re gonna talk about Magic: The Gathering. I want you to know that I was actively ashamed of playing the game in college. And why not? A trading card game with artwork like this and this wasn’t — at least back then — the type of nerdery that was socially acceptable. Magic nerds didn’t have super chads like Joe Manganiello repping the game. Nor did it have intellects fueling the culture the way comic book fans had Alan Moore. So I’m gonna make up for lost time.
