This week, Studio X (the folks who make Magic: The Gathering) announced that they were forming a union with the Communications Workers of America.

Join Bryan, Charles, and Marcos as we welcome former GP Head Judge, previous JudgeCast guest, and current member of the Wizards Rules Team Eric Levine to talk about the new union, its goals, and what comes next. We discuss what unionizing means for the people who work on Magic, what the team hopes to accomplish, and why having a voice in the workplace matters. Magic has enjoyed many many successful years, and we support those that make the game we love.

You can read the Studio X employees’ announcement and learn more about their goals here:

Also, on October 10th, Eric will be on a Wizards of the Coast fundraising stream for Trans Lifeline participating in a trivia battle game show over at twitch.tv/magic between 10am 5pm PST

Oh, and Wizards announced God Packs and have a Judge Program announcement at MagicCon Atlanta
