Booster Pack Throwback — 02 — Justin Gary (MTG, VS System, SolForge, Ascension)

[[ Originally released as "The Booster Pack". This show has since been retitled "Booster Pack Throwback" ]]

Welcome to The Booster Pack — a show that covers TCG / CCG games & their history.

Our very second episode we talk to the CEO of Stoneblade Entertainment, Justin Gary.

Justin got started in the games industry as a professional player on the Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour. After several trophies & giant checks, he moved onto game design at Upper Deck Entertainment where he helped to create games like the VS System (Marvel/DC) & the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game & World of Warcraft Miniatures Game.

Justin then left Upper Deck & founded Gary Games (later Stoneblade Entertainment). Shortly after that they released one of the most successful deck-building games in the hobby today: Ascension.

In this episode, Rands chats with Justin about his time on the MTG Pro Tour, the need for positive games communities & his exciting new project to bring a classic digital card game to the tabletop.

Gary will return in the coming months, so be sure to subscribe to be notified of that episode & the many more in between.
