Episode 69 - w/ Chris VanMeter

In this episode, I’m talking to the beard master, Chris VanMeter. Chris is an analytical thinker of the game and has a math and computer science background. He’s also affectionately known for his bright red beard as it’s rumored to give Chris special powers! Chris is not only a strong competitor in Magic, he’s also an avid teacher, writer and commentator. I really enjoyed sitting down with Chris to record this a few months back. Please enjoy my conversation with Chris VanMeter.
