Announcing "Humans of Magic: Year One"...the book of interviews with cool people!

In 2016, I started an interview podcast called “Humans of Magic.” The podcast focuses on deep 1:1 discussions with Magic players and personalities. The goal is to give them a forum to express the things that they care deeply about, that you may not know from their regularly produced strategy content.

For example:
How did Paulo Vitor Damo da Rosa grow up playing Magic in Brazil?
What makes it difficult for Gerry Thompson to stay in touch with friends?
Why is Christian Calcano pursuing a career outside of Magic?
What did Bob Huang learn about life, after traveling around the world?
Through these conversations, I want to give you insight as to WHO these people are — and not just what they do when they sit down to play Magic.

Podcasting is a great way to get my guests to open up, but it is not easy to listen to hours upon hours of content. This is why I have decided to transcribe these talks from AUDIO to TEXT so that you can fully enjoy the fruits of our labor. I am launching the Humans of Magic: Year One book anthology in Q4 2017. It will contain a collection of the best interviews.

Whether you are trying to become a better player, or just interested in knowing more about the biggest names in Magic, there is something in here for everyone. I promise that these will be the most in-depth interviews with Magic players that you will ever read.

And we are going to have some amazing Legacy representation. Here is a preliminary list of featured players:

Jarvis Yu
Caleb Durward
PVDDR
Gerry Thompson
Bob Huang
Julian Knab
Bryant Cook
Thomas Enevoldsen
Michael Bonde
Wilson Hunter
Roland Chang
...and more

Here is more information about how you can get on the mailing list to get bonus content about the book. I also have a sneak preview of one of my earliest interviews - with Jarvis Yu:

That's it for now -- I hope you will be interested in supporting the interview series!

Best,
James

I bought this book. I bought it just for LSV. Maybe there’s a hidden code that unlocks the secrets of drafting a good storm deck

slice master (https://slice-master.io)'s basic idea is to solve puzzles by correctly slicing items. By swiping their fingers over the screen, players can cut a wide range of objects, including fruits, vegetables, and other items.
