I'm pulling out of the driveway. We all know what that means. It's time another drive to work.

Okay, so today's podcast came from an interesting place. One of the people I follow on Twitter is

MTV Color Pie. And Robbie is somebody who writes a lot about magic, about magic theory,

So let me, I'm going to talk about what you make the card is and then I'm going to walk through it.
