Segment 4: Interview with Collins Mullen
Fresh off of taking down an SCG Open with his innovative Five-Color Humans deck, the crew talks to Collins about the process that led to this deck, and a lively game of ‘Is this Human worth consideration?’ ensues.
Cliff is an avid Magic player, and hardcore Cuber. He’s been at this since 1995, and clearly remembers what happens to one’s wallet when Wizards releases three new sets in three summer months.
Thanks for posting write-ups to these casts, Cliff. They’re super helfpul for me and I know others really appreciate them too.
And I really like format of these write-ups, as opposed to how the ones in the past have been formatted.
