Today’s episode of Clock Spinning continues our Magic art review series with a real shocker: Lightning Bolt!
(Sorry, neither Shock nor the actual Shocker made the cut)
Join us as we see everything from a bear to a minotaur thing to a… door? get blasted by the power of one of red’s most iconic spells of all time!
This is the third episode in a series we’re trying here on Clock Spinning where we rate every unique piece of art on truly iconic Magic cards. Carrying on a great content creator tradition, we use an S through F scale to carefully (and completely subjectively) rate every card.
You can see all the cards discussed in this episode here. Or, for the very best viewing experience we can offer, just check out the YouTube video at the top of this page, where we’ll show each card on the screen as we talk about it. We’d also love for you to check out our channel, where you can find every one of our past episodes (art reviews and otherwise).
We truly do like hearing from listeners, so please reach out! You can email us at clockspinningpodcast@gmail.com, leave a comment below the YouTube video for this episode, or find our posts on Reddit. We might even have a foil Graxiplon or two to share.
