“I have recently returned to mtg, and started listening to the last couple months of your podcast. You guys do a great job, but politics were brought up a couple of times in the first few episodes I listened to. Politics in a podcast about gaming is the FIRST thing that will make me turn a show...”Read full review »

“One of the longest running Magic The Gathering podcasts for many good reasons: the hosts are smart and funny, so they're fun to listen to; their views and thoughts are comfortably between casual and enthusiast, so you won't have to worry too much about getting lost trying to follow along...”Read full review »

“Reading the bad reviews on here make me sick to my stomach. It's as if when I read them I'm watching my Grandmama being swindled out of her Social Security payments by the Hamburglar. It's awful and surprising!
The Mana Pool is an institution in the Magic the Gathering podcast...”Read full review »

“Do you like MTG? Do you play around the kitchen table with friends, tossing banter and cracking jokes and coming up with unlikely but amazing scenarios? Are you human? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then The Mana Pool is for you!
Chewie and the Dorks are like your best friends...”Read full review »

“These guys are some of the best that I have ever heard. With insightful discussions, they'll educate newer players about trap cards, tell the moderate players what they're doing wrong with spells, and give even advanced players a good telling in regards to monster cards! No doubt about...”Read full review »

Chewie, Mike, Brian, and Dirk become your friends, and you get the same feeling listening as you do hanging out with...”Read full review »

Unless you're looking for advice to take down a Grand Prix, in which case, you take life too seriously. Give these guys a listen and your day and...”Read full review »

“Great casual podcast! Magic mad libs are awesome! Story circle deck building. If your looking for set breakdowns and winning strategies in top formats this is not what your after. If you want 1 1/2 hours + of a good group of guys talking magic and making you laugh this is the cast for you!!”

“This is my favorite podcast, and I listen to quite a few. I’m a distance runner and I often find myself in hysterics when I listen to The Mana Pool or its companion, Monday Night Magic. Chewie and the Dorks provide a great service for the Magic community. It inspired me to start a casual...”Read full review »

Sometimes I think Chewie maybe a lazy and obnoxious and I wouldn't want to hang out with him, but really I'm the terrible, judgmental...”Read full review »

“I definitely enjoy listening to your podcast, you guys are fun and knowledgable. I'm fairly new to MTG, and I have noticed that alot of people I run into at my local card shop are new to it as well. In a future episode, maybe you could explain the terminology a little bit (pinging/bouncing)....”Read full review »

Instead of being another 'me too' podcast with hosts having aspirations of being on the tournament pro tour, the mana pool provides a much more comedic and casual look at enjoying the game of Magic with a focus...”Read full review »

“One star for Brian, one for Dirk, and one for Mike. Chewie gets two stars, but only if there are four stars in play, in which case he gets only one, but no less than 3. I'll give as many stars to Brian's hot sister as she wants.
Always best when the whole gang is there, including the...”Read full review »

The moment I hear you crunching I consider unsubscribing from the feed. There needs to be some sort of background music and...”Read full review »
