Welcome to Episode 78!
In today's episode, we read a saga of cEDH salt from a salty city, talk about mana bases and hypergeometric distribution calculators, and discuss a story where a dad couldn't get away from a salt lord that cried Real Tears (tm).
Sam even tells a saga of his own about replacing his tub faucet. Also you should just mulligan. You're not going to draw that one land you need.
Stay Salty

Welcome to Episode 77! Today we are joined by our friend Dan, aka Moderately Anonymous MTG! 
In today's episode, we talk about encounters with a salty Un-card, a potentially spiteful Pact of Negation in a cEDH game, and playing against a tired Nekusar player that has run out of patience. 
We also talk about being a stickler for the rules and why Shivan Gorge is actually really good and cool. Long Live Pony Pod!

Welcome to Episode 76! Today we are joined by the Nitpicking Nerds, Mia and Beezy! 
Tony couldn't make this one, but the mine cart is nice and full today.
In today's episode, we talk about someone who insists that group hug is "casual" while playing a deck that is anything but, a player dealing with some frustrating playgroup dynamics and poorly timed spells, and a spelltable deck stacker who scoops in rage!
We also talk about $20 decks, $10 decks, and the mythical $1 deck! The frustrations of Sol Rings! And did you know that Steve Jobs died of ligma?

Welcome to Episode 75! It's the MTG Summit Recap Special!
Our episode today strays from our typical format as the Salty Boys recap their experience at the MTG Summit convention in Salt Lake City.
We talk about the games we played, the salt we experienced, and all the awesome people that we met! We also recount Mike and Sam's harrowing trip to Salt Lake City, all of us drafting the Mental Misplay Cube, and the ups and downs of the cEDH tournament for Nick and Mike. We had an awesome time at this convention!
 
THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!

Welcome to Episode 74!
This episode was recorded live at MTG Summit, and we have our buddy Nick along for the ride with us today.
In today's episode, we talk about a problem player named Kyle, when twiddling your basalt monolith goes wrong, and gloating hard in front of your friends. We also chat a bit about the Summit convention, but we are saving most of that for the upcoming Summit recap episode.
We also talk about hashafrashaing your food when it is too hot and the proper grammar for ETB.

Welcome to Episode 72! Our buddy Alan from Mental Misplay is in the mine cart with us today! Also Tony missed this week because we are absolutely pros at scheduling (not really we are trash).
In today's episode, we talk about a friend who can't put down the COD, a spell table player who's cousin is a judge, and a player who went salt for salt all day with their games.
Also all the homies love the hindsight pod and hate Azorius control. It's bulking season baby and we are happy to announce it is BIG BOY WINTER in cEDH.

Welcome to Episode 71!
In today's episode, we talk about the tantrums of a local salt lord, the ups and downs of making friends salty, and a week by week escalation of salt between two friends. 
Mike also treats us to a salty cEDH tale where the vibes were off, and we struggle to pronounce Boggart. 
Stay Salty!

Welcome to Episode 69! NICE!
Tony is BACK and here we are with episode 69! It's like a regular episode except with slightly more raunchy jokes and slightly more exasperated groans from Mike. 
In today's episode, we talk about the salt of having bad booster pack luck, some blazing hot takes with a Dash of salt, and a player that got bamboozled about commander damage. 
We also talk about wearing rings and milk.
