About This Podcast
Welcome to "Sugar Scrubs," the podcast that's all about the Magic the Gathering beyond the cards. Whether you're a casual player or a seasoned pro, join your hosts Bones and Eli, as we unravel the secrets of building strong connections within the MTG community, and, of course, ways to make things a little bit sweeter. This biweekly (every other Wednesday) podcast is an opportunity for fellow scrubs to take a step back, slow down, and have some fun just being nerds.
