Welcome to Episode 134! 
Mike is away so its a Gremlin Boys episode!
Today, we hear a tale of two Tarrasques with some crunchy rules, the horrors of a 30 minute turn, and a pauper player's frustration of losing against the same deck over and over.
Also stinky cheese, olives, and feelin' fancy.
Stay Salty!

Welcome to Episode 132! The salty boys are back in the studio and feeling a little extra silly today. 
Today we talk about a rules complexity that disrupts a playgroup, playing against a deck that is all custom art, and being shamed for going too fast only to be steamrolled on the next turn.
Also we talk about beer. A lot. And we drink some.

Welcome to Episode 131! Today we are joined by our friend and Magic Twitch streamer, Amy the Amazonian! 
We talk about an old salty confessional from a middle school magic club, a couple that ruins the game night, and a player that endures three pubstomps only to be kicked while they are down. 
Also, roping sucks, art is cool, and the DK Rap is scary?
Check out Amy's content over on her Twitch stream or on her YouTube channel!

Welcome to Episode 128 and the second ever episode of Salty Tales!
While we were at MagicCon Las Vegas, we asked folks on the convention floor "What makes you salty?", and we recorded all of the responses! So today, we are going through as many of these answers as we can in a lightning round of salty tales. 
Find us at a future convention to give us your salt!
Also we have a #sponsor for today's episode with a playmat collection Kickstarter from Justyna and Piotr Dura so go check it out!

Welcome to Episode 127!
It's a Tony and Sam episode! Mike is away so the Gremlin Boys will play!
This week we cover a story where a player is emotionally massacred, a confusing story of side games and scoops, and when trolling your friend goes too far. 
Also, Sam catches them all and Tony catches unwashed laundry.

Thursday Nov 14, 2024

Welcome to Episode 126!
Many of you asked, so we are delivering. This is the recording of our first live show ever from MagicCon Vegas!! The audio is a bit rough, but we're sharing it anyways!
Today we talk about a judgmental player who gets a much-needed dose of karma, a case of prospector on prospector crime, and the etiquette of cutting a deck.
Thank you to everyone who was at this show or provided a story! We hope to do it again at the next con!
Stay Salty!
