We’re on iTunes now!

What is Everyday Eternal? For those unfamiliar with Everyday Eternal, it is one of the oldest Magic podcasts focussed on competitive Legacy (and we like to claim: sometimes also Vintage.) Together with our hosts Bob Huang, Matt Pavlic, Julian Knab, and their funky guests, we’re bringing you the latest news and technology from the world of Eternal Magic. God, could our iTunes BE any more generic? Can someone please rewrite this? Bob, Matt, anyone?

Today’s Topics

Today’s show covers a topic my guest James Hsu and I have been planning to cover for a very long time. Because of James’ upbringing in Vancouver, frequent travels to and interactions with Europe, and newfound home in Beijing, he’s one of the few players out there with an expert knowledge of many different Magic scenes and cultures. In this episode of Everyday Eternal, he provides some fascinating insight into many aspects of Chinese Magic — and why he expects it to explode in popularity in the near future.

Table of contents:

Cultural Differences between North American, European and Chinese Magic

Legacy Tournament Scene in China
