How Magic: The Gathering creator Richard Garfield wants to bring back the joy of card games

Richard Garfield remembers the magic of the early days of Magic: The Gathering. The creator of the iconic card game recalled how there was a period of time when people didn’t have access to perfect information about which Magic cards and decks were the best.

This part of the reason he cofounded Popularium, a new game startup. His team’s next game, Chaos Agents, a PC and web strategy game that will have a mix of genres, with multiplayer elements dubbed “auto battler royale.” Garfield is also working on Brawlers, a different title that he talked about more during our conversation. Worldwide Asset Exchange (WAX) And Tyranno Studios are building Brawlers, a Web3-based, PvP card game co-designed by Garfield.
