Episode 15 – “The Bauer Power Hour”

Hauer? And it’s only 59 minutes, anyway. Jon’s back this week with two new friends in tow. Brothers Josh and Jared Bauer come along to talk all things Kevin. This week is slightly less a podcast about Magic and slightly more a podcast about how absent host Kevin is the best dude ever. Some Modern results are discussed, and some sibling rivalry is shown, but mostly Kevin. Featured in this episode: Jon Sutton In total dude love with his co-hosts for the day, may have once beaten Kevin…once. Josh B...

Episode 14 – “The Grind”

We’re back, listeners. Sorry for missing last week, we had some technical snafu’s here at Goblin Guides headquarters but we got them all sorted out and we’re back at it with…well, somewhat of a downer. Rob is facing the dreaded burnout stage of the long time grinder so Jon, who never really thought about playing so much you get burnt out, and Kevin, who has been there before, sat down with him to try to help. The fun doesn’t end there, however, and by the end of the episode we’re back to our nor...

Episode 13 – “Player Profile – Doug Getsinger”

It’s interview time, again, friends and fans. This is likely to be the last one for a while, unless Jon gets it in his head to add another host to the show. We’ve got new host (who you heard 2 episodes ago) Doug Getsinger in the pipe today. Doug and Jon talk about Doug’s beginnings, his accomplishments and what it’s like to be the kind of guy who always tells it like it is. Featured in this episode: Jon Sutton – Slipping on the interviewer cap one more time. Doug Getsinger – Prefers to deckbuild...

Episode 12 “#PTJOU”

Well, it’s finally here. This weekend, cohost Rob Vaughan will be playing for all the marbles in Atlanta, Georgia at Pro Tour Journey Into Nyx (#PTJOU). I know this podcast is supposed to be about Jon learning to be better at Magic, but this week Rob kinda took over, discussed his deck choice, discussed limited, and may or may not have decided based on a text he received while recording, to change his decklist. Be sure to pay attention to the coverage this weekend and look for Rob. We’re all hop...

We also talk about Rob’s upcoming trip to PT Atlanta, dog fighting, and selling mattresses you find on the highway.

Episode 9 – “Live from Philly”

We’re back yet again with a super length episode Jon recorded all on his own during the Sunday of Grand Prix Philadelphia. There’s an interview with a new potential co-host, some discussion about limited with some new friends and a special treat foreign pack wars at the end. This episode is jam packed with good, so listen up! EDITOR’S NOTE: This episode is super raw, because it was recorded live inside the PA Convention Center during an event in progress. The best possible care has been taken to...

Episode 8 – “#GPPhilly”

We’re back from a long and eventful weekend and Grand Prix Philadelphia. Since the GP was in our backyard, and since the whole point of the show is to get Jon better at playing Magic, we sent him there to do his best. Today we sat down and had a post-mortem of sorts and Tony and Kevin tried to answer all the questions that occurred to Jon over the weekend. Jon had a lot of questions, so we went long this episode, so settle in. Jon also learns some new things about Limited deckbuilding. Featured ...

Episode 7 “Player Profile: Jon Sutton”

In this episode, our host sits down with podcast Producer and Engineer Dan Serwan for an interview in the style of our player profiles with the other hosts. Jon wanted to do this to set something of a baseline for himself that we could check back in with over the months as the podcast goes on. Something that he could compare himself to as his competitive Magic journey goes on. Featured in this episode: Jon Sutton Usually the host, now the interviewee. Dan Serwan Usually silent, now, not so much....
