Okay, on to the show notes…

We talk about our first cube draft experiences, a staxxed out cEDH game from hell, and the new format we invented at 2 am: Pile Gow! We also talk about a bunch of the lovely people we met and recap some of our favorite games from the weekend.

Welcome to Episode 37! Today we are joined by MJ host of the MTG In Quarantine Podcast! 
In our episode today, we talk balancing power levels in the wild west of untrusted games, keeping a bad hand and regretting it, and salting your opponent with an off-meta card. MJ also tells us all about Old Fogey, and I still don't get it.

HSM 34: Thunderdome, Krenko, and Five Board Wipes

Welcome to Episode 34! Mike is away this week so it is a Sam and Tony special! 
In our episode today, we talk about players that want the thunderdome experience, a salty story of a pubstomping accusation, and a poor playgroup that had to endure five board wipes. Buckle in for some of that pure Sam and Tony energy. 
Also, this episode was recorded before our guest episode with Josh. So you'll note that we don't reference a certain Angel that is very Stoic in this episode. Don't at us.

HSM 33: Updated Remarks

Hey Prospectors.
This episode is a little different from our normal episodes, and that is because we have removed Episode 33 from our podcast stream. This episode featured a guest that we have since come to learn behaved in a way that is firmly out of line with our values and the values of the podcast. Because of that we felt it was best to simply remove this episode.
So with that in mind, jump on to the next episode. Keep the salt train rolling, and thanks again for listening.
Thank you for understanding, and Stay Salty.
Sam, Mike & Tony

HSM 32: Performance Anxiety, a Will to Mill, and Todd

Welcome to Episode 32! 
In our episode today, we talk about a salty story where a flashed in creature redirects a bunch of salt, a player who never has interaction but always wants to interact, and a salt lord that runs from mill. We also chat about a recent salty tale of our own involving some long turns, convoluted combos, and pressure from the pod.

Welcome to Episode 31! Back to our regularly scheduled salty programming!
