HSM 175: Ugly Dog, Creepy Chris, and The Perfect Turn with Chad Magic

Welcome to Episode 175! And today we have Christian and Wally from Chad Magic!
Today, we have poetic justice for a Cruella on spell table, a saga of salt about a disrespectful player stacking bulk, and when the perfect turn one happens but not for you.
Also, printed sky diamonds and the colossal dreadmaw punches you in your face you little rat bitch.
Go watch Chad Magic! A perfect place to start is the saltiest deck episodes that Sam and Tony played with Christian and Wally!
Stay Salty!
