Nile JoanRivers streams MtG content on Twitch! Her content is focused on highlighting queer voices and lowering the barrier to entry for new players. If that sounds like something you’re into, consider joining the Discord server where she helps new players learn Magic and make a safe, welcoming space for all.

Will Freeland is a Marvel comic nerd who loves to fly off on random tangential topics. The only collection he has that’s larger than his comic collection is all of his Lego and other building brick sets. A true child at heart......also an aspiring content creator.
