What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

CCMTG is one of the few podcasts that I will repeat an episode to see if something new shakes out after letting it percolate. It's also the only one I take notes for when I listen. The back catalogue is fantastic, and has something for nearly every topic. The hosts come from different backgrounds, i.e. parents, full-time MtGer, ProTourer with day job, etc., which positively informs how they present the information. The level of knowledge, the fantastic chemistry between the hosts, and the honesty of the hosts is just great. As a parent and full-time worker, my time is at a premium. If I could only listen to one Constructed podcast, CCMTG would always win.

I have to say, this podcast brings a much different vibe than the other MtG pods out there. A lot of vulnerability, they talk about the personal parts of the pursuit of improvement in the hobby, and the emotional side of it all. Also bring great insight, although generally more focused than most on the broader aspects of improvement rather than format specific (although there’s plenty of meta specific analysis too). Can be kind of a heavy listen, honestly, but definitely doing something valuable and different than other people in the space.

This show is great about keeping the main focus on always improving. It’s one of the few MTG podcasts I can listen to regularly and know that I’m going to hear a high quality episode each week.

Andrew Debevoise · May 2023

If your into competitive magic and want to get better this is the podcast. I’ve been listening for years and I have learned so much about getting better at magic and even life it’s hard to believe. Great host Spencer, hall-of-famer Seth Manfield, and good pro Jon Stern!!! Give it a listen

Love Mason’s energy and how he seems very interested and is having fun! Aly on the other hand sounds like she does not want to be there, leaves Mason hanging and just is not enjoyable to listen to.
