Episode 21: "Eli & Bones, Timeless Heroes" - A Year in Review and Looking Ahead into 2025

Episode 25: "Riley, Ever Loyal" - Our Personal Cannon Events

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2312911/open_sms] This episode, we’re looking back at The Cards That Made Us—the ones that hooked us into the game, the ones that nearly made us quit, and the ones that reflect who we are now, both as players and people. It’s a reflection on growth, identity, and how cardboard can unexpectedly shape community and connection. In What’s Your Flavor, our signature game show segment, we take a heartfelt detour to honor the goodest flavor-hound of them all—our late pup Riley—with a tribute that blends love, laughter, and a little bit of flavor text.  And finally wrap things up with a Sugar scrub moment that has us excited about a non-mtg IP....wild right? Join us as we explore the magic beyond the cards, one story at a time. --- Check out Worn Wanderer's at https://wornwanderers.com/ --- As always, thank you to Jake B with Beehive Studios for our amazing artwork!

Episode 24: "LiquiMETA coating" - Who Owns the Meta?

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2312911/open_sms] On this episode of the Sugar Scrubs Podcast, we take on a heated topic for gamers and creators alike: the ethics of content creators and the question of, "Who Owns the Meta?" As the MTG community grows and content creators become more influential, we examine the fine line between inspiration and imitation. Is it the creators who innovate, the players who popularize, or something in between? We share our thoughts on maintaining integrity, respecting creative work, and navigating a world where decklists and strategies can spread faster than ever. New to the show? Stick around for “What’s Your Flavor,” and play along to see if you can identify the color identity of a Magic card based solely on its flavor text. Bones is getting pretty good at play, can you do better? --- As always, thank you to Jake B with Beehive Studios for our amazing artwork!

Episode 23: "Chicago's Tundra" - MagicCon Chicago Recap

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2312911/open_sms] We hopped on a plane and crossed the country to MagicCon Chicago! After a slow thaw, Bones is finally feeling warmed enough and ready to recap our highlights from the weekend.  From cosplay, to unknown events, to our very first Community Panel of What's Your Flavor, this was a trip to remember. If we missed you in Chicago, not to worry cause we brought a little of the live panel to the mics with this episode's What's Your Flavor segment.  --- Air Bubbles Cosplay (@airbubblescosplay) • Instagram photos and videos [https://www.instagram.com/airbubblescosplay/] Cal (@capturedbycaltran) • Instagram photos and videos [https://www.instagram.com/capturedbycaltran/] --- Another HUGE thank you to Jake B with Beehive Studios for our amazing artwork and prizes for MacCon Chicago Panel!

Episode 22: "Opposition Agency" - Fostering Player Agency in MTG

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2312911/open_sms] Bones' cosplay crunch strikes again but I was able to steal here away for a fantastic conversation on the role of Player Agency in MTG. Every person who sits down to play wants to have an impact on the game. As a new player, how do we communicate as to feel seen and heard by others at the table? And for my fellow experienced players, how are we holding space for new players to feel on equal footing with everyone else? In this episode we dive into the four elements of player agency. In this episode's "What's Your Flavor?" we visit Innistrad as the remastered set brings back forgotten flavors. Let's see if you can do better than Bones in this episode!  --- If you're attending MagicCon Chicago, come join us and play "What's Your Flavor?" live gameshow style.
