Welcome to Episode 156 and the first video Gremlin Boys episode!
In a weird twist, today we really focus on the rules! First, a blocker gets blinked and a friend denies the ruling, then confusing eldrazi rules getting you kicked from a pod, and lastly a cautionary tale about why you should always beware the Protean Hulk!
We also talk about our shared love of amari and other liqueurs. Like a lot. We talk about it so much.
Stay Salty!
