Code of the Cardboard Samurai is back!

April 13, 2022

Followers of my website The Japan Hobbyist might remember that I had a started a podcast right before the pandemic started, but it was an unfortunate casualty of all events being canceled and people not playing Magic the Gathering anymore. With the Magic scene coming out of dormancy in Japan this year though, it seemed like the perfect time to start recording again!

In this episode past guest and local Magic Player in the Tokyo area, Taichi Nishizawa, joins me to talk about Kamigawa Neon Dynasty from a Japanese person’s point of view. I was really interested in hearing his opinion about not only the plane of Kamigawa itself, but also how it was portrayed by Wizards of the Coast in this set.

After listening to this episode, feel free to hop into my discord to discuss the show or give me a follow on Twitter as well!
