Welcome to the Season 3 premier of Kitchen Table Magic! It is so good to be back. Over the summer, I’ve been hard at work booking and interviewing new guests for this season. You’re really going to enjoy all the interview’s I’ve had.

Let’s kick things off with our first guest of Season 3!

I’m speaking with former L5 judge, and founding member of the Elder Dragon Highlander Rules Committee, Sheldon Menery. Sheldon helped to popularize Magic’s most fun format, EDH now officially recognized by Wizards as Commander.

Sheldon tells us about the early history of when Commander was still called Elder Dragon Highlander, and even how it got it’s name.

Sheldon also has a special gift for listeners, stick around to find out how to get it.
