HSM 91: Salty Tales: Chicago Style

Welcome to Episode 91!
We're doing something a little different today with our first ever episode of Salty Tales!
While we were at MagicCon Chicago, we walked around the convention floor and asked people "What makes you salty?", and we recorded all of the responses! So today, we are going through as many of these answers as we can in a lightning round of salty tales. From extra turns to late game board wipes to the evils of landfall, we cover it all.
We had a lot of fun making this episode, and we hope you enjoy it too! Find us at a future convention to give us your salt. 
Also, Mike's mom wrote a book, and you should read it!Annie Bot by Sierra Greer
