Magic: The Gathering, learned in public
Hello friends.
I'm Biaka. Product designer by day, Commander player by night, and a little over two months into making Magic videos from Kansas City. I don't know everything. I find out on camera.

What this channel is
An invitation, not a lecture
Commander deck techs, pack openings, and explainers for people who are new or coming back. No gatekeeping, no hype about prices, and a designer's habit of asking "why is it built this way?"
Recurring bits
Things I keep doing
- Bless Thy Pulls — pack openings. Magic: The Gambling.
- Meet Me in 5ive — the carousel above, and the format I use for guests.
- Planepals — drawing the people who made this fun.
