Currently living in Japan and want to play some Magic the Gathering but don’t speak Japanese? Thinking of coming to Japan for a Magic Fest in the near future but worried about the language barrier? Then look no further! In this episode, Dan and I go over all the Japanese vocabulary and grammar you need to know in order to play a game in Japan with the help of our good friend and fellow player Hiroaki Oyama!

Learn how to explain cards, count up damage, and play a sample turn in Japanese among many other things!

Special thanks to Lain Kaplan for the intro and outro. If you want to study the words on your own time or learn how to write them, click the link to my Japan-English MTG vocabulary at the top of my mage or here!
