Author: Tolarian Community College March 31, 2019 Duration: 49:13
Vince from Pleasant Kenobi and The Professor from Tolarian Community College discuss what to do when you start to feel burned out on Magic. Magic: The Gathering can sometimes become overwhelming or players can just become apathetic. What to do if this happens to you?

Ever find yourself wanting to talk about Magic: The Gathering without the pressure of tournament results or the latest meta breakdown? That’s the exact space where Dies To Removal lives. Hosted by The Professor from Tolarian Community College and his co-host Pleasant Kenobi, this podcast feels like pulling up a chair at your local game store with two friends who have deep, genuine enthusiasm for the game. Their conversations are wide-ranging and entirely driven by whatever has captured their interest that week-be it the lore behind a favorite card, the economics of collecting, or the simple joy of a well-designed set. The tone is consistently casual and welcoming, making it perfect for listeners who love Magic as a hobby and a social experience. You’ll hear thoughtful analysis, plenty of humor, and the kind of tangents that only happen when passionate people are allowed to just talk. Tune into this podcast for a refreshingly laid-back perspective on the world’s most popular trading card game, where the focus is always on the fun and community at the heart of playing.
