Episode description

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind-the-scenes of a big Magic the Gathering tournament? Wonder no more with Desk After Dark!

Your hosts Maria Bartholdi and Mani Davoudi want to shed some light on what it’s like to actually produce a Magic tournament, from start to finish. With a combined decade+ of experience covering the best game in the world, Maria and Mani are here to answer your questions about everything Magic coverage. From who they’d kill first in a game of Coverage Commander to how much prep time it really takes to know every single word on every single card, Desk After Dark gives an illuminating look at life behind the desk.

Plus, on this first-ever episode, Maria and Mani break down the 2022 World Championship held this past October in Las Vegas and look ahead to the return to large-scale paper tournaments.
