Well, You've changed my mind! I was firmly in the Staves's camp but I see the usefulness of Wands.
I'm still in favor of staves. A wand is just too flimsy to contain the raw power of the ether. I've written all about it on my etherblog: m̘̟͖͔̮̗̗͖͚̺̩͉u̞͚̜̯͇̦̘̘͓̤̝a̬͈͙̟̻̝̻̼̺̜̲̻.
And now, Kathleen has nothing to try to force the "Wizard Chat" name upon.
Also, liked the "Beards! Beards! Beards!" flier in the background, there.

Wouldn't one hundred point infinity basically just be 101?
And I personally prefer a thick piece of chalk to a wand or staff. There's nothing like a pentacle for ensnaring demons and forcing them to do your bidding.

sorry dragonsoul, but a staff doubles as a walking stick, and as an experienced nomad, i can say without reserve that you're going to appreciate that benefit if you're the adventuring type, and that benefit will outweigh the slight edge possessed by wands. however, you make a fair general use point for more homebody types.
Bah... hat size has always been a substitute for wand size. I prefer a good hooded robe myself...

I thought this guy new his stuff, but the way he answered the question about wands just illustrates that he's a completely poser with no substance. He's probably never even broke the 9th circle. Seriously, the whole quality of this thing just goes completely down when you let in noobs like that and give them a place to speak. I came for a serious discussion of thaumatorgical Hat Couture and instead there's some guy blathering on about wands. Does he even know how a staff is meant to work? You're meant to walk with it, not carry it about like some handbag.
I've been a fan of your show for a long time now and I've got a lot of respect for what you do. I would consider myself a devoted fan, but if you keeping on pulling cheap crud like this, I'm going to stop attuning in and go somewhere decent like Warlock Conversation where people are familiar with Familiars and can tell a pentagon from a hexagon.
Disappointed. Don't do it again.

I carry both?
Although excellent the lrr mtg podcast will still be kmow as wizard chat, forever.

As a combat mage I prefer using arcane steel gauntlets, they have neither the power of a staff or accuracy of a wand but they add no extra weight as I would be wearing gauntlets with my demon hide en-fused steel armour anyway, also they allow for more flexibility in combat as I can then channel spells through my weapon and/or shield.
In addition to what you said, I'm always angered whenever they say that every wizard needs a beard. You try becoming an 11th evolution biomancer and see if you can avoid the occasional pyromantic crab cancer or two. Plus, I'm 26% reptile! You have any idea how ridiculous I'd look with mammalian hair? I was looking for real fashion tips to make up for my current out-of-place dolphin fin, but this radio show just proved to be as unhelpful as ever.BrotherRool said:
well I am just going to go and say that having a large hat just makes you more of a target on the battlefield, infact I normally wear a helmet instead of a hat. it is pointless to follow a tradition unless there is a good reason behind it, it is also wizards like you who ask 'wand or staff' why not go for a totem, magic gauntlet, deck of cards or even bare hand for the particularly skilled.DVS BSTrD said:
