Welcome to Episode 62!
Tyler from Play to Win is joining us today as we delve into the cEDH side of the salt mine!
In today's episode, we talk about the ins and outs of Chain of Vapor bullying, a Rograhk Tevesh player that browbeat their way out of a counter spell, and a local spike who crushed a local tourney and feels a bit conflicted.
Also Tony is a whale and Sam is a horse.

Welcome to Episode 61!
In today's episode, we talk about a dishonest Feldon player that spreads salt with Burning Inquiry, what happens when a new Guy doesn't know the rules, and how to balance deck power levels with a new player in your group.

Welcome to Episode 60!
Mike is out this week, and honored guest Nick is on the mic!
In today's episode, we cover the salty conclusion to a three-player game after giving a player one more turn, if it is okay to harvest your opponent's salt, and the hatred of Marchesa, the Black Rose.
We also talk about Sam's Zetalpa art that went viral.

Now it's Tony's turn for a schedule mix up as Mike and Sam team up for a duo episode!
