Greetings fellow witches, wizards, warlocks, and everything in between! After a long and impromptu hiatus, I'm finally back on the microphone once again. Join me in my attempt to catch up on everything we've missed over the past handful of months, covering everything from conventions, sanctioned organized play events, the Dragonlord set, Gothic spoilers, and everything in between. You may know a lot of this stuff already, but maybe you'll still learn something new? Either way, I'm just happy to be back in the action once again. Sorry it took so long!

Greetings fellow witches, wizards, warlocks, and everything in between! This isn't a full Episode, but rather a short PSA that I'm still alive and well, just had to take a small hiatus for personal life reasons. I'll be attending GenCon this week, make sure to come say hi if you see me! Aside from letting you all know I'm still here and I'm bringing the Podcast back to life soon, this short audio snippet is also just a way to give a brief overview of what to expect at GenCon from the Sorcery team. Make sure you come prepared for all the awesome things you'll find at the Sorcery booth this year!

I'll be following up after GenCon with a full Episode, breaking down all sorts of stuff, including the awesome experience of GenCon! Stay tuned!

Greetings fellow witches, wizards, warlocks, and everything in between! In this Episode, we sit and talk Grey Wolves with the leader of the wolf pack, the wolf man himself, Luis Silva aka 2Fluent. He is known for his wolf memes and anti-frog propaganda in the Sorcery community, however what he is perhaps known best for is piloting a Wolf Deck. Join us as we dive deep into the deck tech, the silver bullets, and the key strategies surrounding this fun archetype, and have one HOWL of a good time doing it! Enjoy!

Greetings fellow witches, wizards, warlocks, and everything in between! Arthurian Legends was the first expansion set for Sorcery, having been released in October of 2024, and we are finally going to break it down card by card in our Full Set Review. There was so much to talk about that it had to be broken down into 2 parts though, so this part 1 will be covering the Avatars, as well as the Ordinary and Exceptional rarity cards from the set. The most exciting part about this episode though is that I am joined by my good buddy and active Sorcery community member Ochoa! Join us as we discuss all the exciting cards (well, half of them at least) from Arthurian Legends, and talk way too much about the fun shenanigans and powerful plays you can do with these cards.  Enjoy!

Greetings fellow witches, wizards, warlocks, and everything in between! This Episode is a very special and exciting one, as it celebrates the 1 Year Anniversary of the Podcast! 1 year ago this month the very first Episode was published, and in this Episode we are doing a little something different to celebrate that. Join us and a handful of guests in this "live" recording of Episode 21, where I go back through the past year of the Podcast, touching on many of the challenges, achievements, and fun moments we had, as well as discuss the current and future projects and plans for the Podcast, all the while having surprise guests pop on to chat, share fond memories, or discuss their favorite Podcast moments and Episodes. While this Episode breaks away from the normal format, it was a very fun one to record, so I hope you all have fun with it. Enjoy!

Greetings fellow witches, wizards, warlocks, and everything in between! In this episode I interview Ron from the Sorcery Social Club, the organization that brought us the Courtesan Cup as well as the numerous qualifiers that led up to it. We discuss a lot of the behind the scenes stuff that happened during the Qualifiers and Cup weekend; the good, the bad, and the unexpected. Ron shares his insights with us as to what all goes into putting together a large Grand Prix-style competitive tournament event, and his take on the future of competitive Sorcery events, and Sorcery as a whole.
