For episode 15 Geoff (@ThallidTosser on Twitter) and Nat Moes (@GrandpaBelcher) bring back Jerry Yang (@yangtrolls), epicurean and, as we learn, the actual worst Vintage player in the world, to talk about the upcoming GenCon extravaganza. We talk a bit about the Vintage metagame and the applications of Young Pyromancer, then we jump straight into the events and, more importantly, the food of GenCon. If you’re going to be in Indianapolis in a few weeks, you’ll definitely want to listen to this episode.

Good stuff. I laughed my way through the entire thing.

I guess one way to differentiate yourself from other Magic podcasts is not to actually talk about Magic on your podcast...?

That may be a bit too harsh.  If I was going to Gen Con, this was an excellent guide to restaurants and venues, which would be useful if I wanted to stalk you and punch your sandwiches.

I lost it at the story about the high five... That really would have looked like one messed up bar fight.

I remember JR catapulting himself through the air as if it was yesterday... Fun podcast guys.

The most important message of this podcast is to not play too much Magic at GenCon. We (we being the members of Team Serious) have all done it, and we have all regretted it in hindsight. There are so many fun things to do and fun people to hang out with that it's a crime to spend the entire time in the Magic hall playing games.

Vintage is a fun game, but the true glory of the game is bringing a great community together to hang out and have a great time. GenCon is a pure expression of that.
