In game design, as in any creation—and life really—things don't always go according to plan. In this podcast, I talk about numerous times Magic design ended up having to go in a different direction.

In this podcast, I talk about the design of Throne of Eldraine.

In this podcast, I take listeners behind the scenes into the making of the Throne of Eldraine announcement stream.

In this podcast, I talk about what we have to do in design to make sure that the set and story align.

In this podcast, I talk about how Magic design involves a lot of math.

In August, I wrote an article about why diversity matters in game design. This is my podcast version of that topic.

In this podcast, I discuss when, how, and why we make changes to the color pie.

This is another of my mailbag podcasts where I answer all your questions. I do these with a carpool guest. Instead of "Mailbag with Matt" or "Replies with Rachel," we get the first-ever "Small Talk with Sarah" where my guest is my youngest daughter, Sarah.

This podcast is another in my "Other People's Lessons" series where I talk top ten lists of lessons for something else and apply them to Magic design. Today is life lessons.

This is another podcast in my "Lessons Learned" series where I talk about lessons from sets that I led or co-led the design for. This time, I talk about what I learned leading the design for War of the Spark.

In this podcast, I talk about us putting together the themes of three years' worth of sets that cover what we call the "Bolas Arc" (Kaladesh through War of the Spark).

As is normal, I went to San Diego Comic-Con, but this year, I got to reveal Throne of Eldraine to the world. It was quite fun. In this podcast, I fill you in on my entire trip.

This is part two of a four-part series on all the banned or restricted cards I had a hand in designing.

Not that I'm proud of this, but I have the honor of having had a hand in creating more cards that have been banned or restricted than any other designer. In this podcast, I walk through the many cards I've helped design from this list and talk about their designs.

In past podcasts, you've met my dad, my mom, and my eldest daughter, Rachel. Today, you get to meet my youngest daughter, Sarah.

Magic has six major zones plus a few others used in various formats. I talk all about them including examining the design space of zone changing.

In this podcast, I talk about the history of full-art lands and talk about all the times we've used them.

This podcast is about the history of the Demon creature type.

This is another in my series "Lessons Learned" where I examine the lessons I've learned from sets I led or co-led. Today, I talk about the third Un- set, Unstable.

In this podcast, I talk about the history of Magic's oldest alternate-win condition.
