Randy Buehler the OG of Magic - Ep 214

Kitchen Table Magic

In this episode, I’m speaking with Randy Buehler, Hall of Famer and former Vice President of Digital Gaming at Wizards of the Coast for Magic: The Gathering. Randy has made a significant impact on Magic, not only as a pro player, but also developing the game at R&D. Randy worked on Invasions and Odyssey, to name a few. Randy also has a long history on the commentary team. Though Randy recently retired from commentary, he still has an influential role in the community with Vintage Super League, Community Super League, and his streams on Twitch. Say hi to Randy on Twitter @RBuehler I’ve got a photo of my interview with Randy in his Magic filled basement. What an amazing collection. Watch Vintage Super League at Twitch.tv/randybuehler Randy has a Patreon page set up for Vintage Super league and now Team Draft Super League. I’ll have links in the show notes at KitchenTableMagic.org I sat down with Randy last fall, I hope you enjoy my interview with the one and only, Randy Buehler. This episode of Kitchen Table Magic is brought to you by Paragon City Games. Randy Buehler talked about playing his first Magic tournament in a bee keepers warehouse. There were cases of honey and beside them, Magic singles. The Magic community has come a long way since then and in today’s world, you’ll find places like Paragon City Games. Instead of jars of honey, you’ll find Die Hard Metal Dice, hand crafted wooden deck boxes, Legacy, Modern and Standard staples, sealed product, and table top games. And instead of being in a warehouse, Paragon City Games has a spacious and clean showroom with lots of elbow room for Magic events.
