Episode 25: Goblin Games – Swords to Plowshares vs. U.S.S. Milwaukee

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome to the Goblin Lore Podcast! In our twenty-fifth episode, Alex and Joe riff on a card from Magic: the Gathering's original set – Alpha – and draw parallels between it and something completely unrelated. Can the boys survive an Iron Chef-like secret ingredient showdown... with themselves? This episode, we decided to talk about Swords to Plowshares and how it relates to a U.S. Civil War battleship, the U.S.S. Milwaukee. Alex introduces the card and how it came to be, while Joe dredges up some river-related history to go with this card. ____________________________________________ We have launched our new Patreon!
