<p>You heard right. Are you gonna take it or curve it?</p><p>This monstrous episode is starring offline king Kyle, from the Legendary Creature Podcast! He joins the hosts in discussing community, the ever-evolving conversation about Magic as a game, a martial artist who flips an elephant, and takes to the soapbox for some personal experiences. Cole talks about Twilight Princess, Netflix&#39;s DMC, and Gruul and Jund equipment. Quinn talks Final Fantasy III and VIII, drops some [REDACTED] on an older track, and goes bananas with a 4c Spellseeker Seimic Ass deck. Over in the Smoking Mids Dimension, Lenny and Cole talk about some Mids from Innistrad. </p><p><a href="https://legendarycreaturepocast.libsyn.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Check out the Legendary Creature Podcast!</a></p><p>Socials:</p><p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/thebloodricguy.bsky.social" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠@thebloodricguy.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/girldickenergy.bsky.social" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@girldickenergy.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>, <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/ajanisgaypridemate.bsky.social" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ajanisgaypridemate.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/hbvc-mtg.bsky.social" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@hbvc-mtg.bsky.social on Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>. </p><p>Go purchase Quinn&#39;s music at <a href="https://djspacegirl.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://djspacegirl.bandcamp.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.twitch.tv/mtg_lexicon" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠MTG Lexicon, the Dive Bar of EDH on Twitch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>Creative Media: </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhSN3BqqFCU" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">These cards have NO HOME! | The Timewaster 9000 #26 | Magic: the Gathering</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybAViblSOE0" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Camp Cardboard Plays MTG Monikers</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG6MHvC4pRE" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">We played MAGIC TRIVIA with ‪@LRRMTG‬, ‪@EDHijinks‬, and ‪@GLHFCommander‬! | Camp Cardboard Party Games</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucPEZqTyopM" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Let&#39;s Play Magic: The Gathering Themed Party Games! | Camp Cardboard Party Game Relay</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d58Xn7nSRkI" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Magic Players Play Pictionary! 🎨 Camp Cardboard Game Relay feat.
