Welcome to Episode 71!
In today's episode, we talk about the tantrums of a local salt lord, the ups and downs of making friends salty, and a week by week escalation of salt between two friends. 
Mike also treats us to a salty cEDH tale where the vibes were off, and we struggle to pronounce Boggart. 
Stay Salty!

Welcome to Episode 69! NICE!
Tony is BACK and here we are with episode 69! It's like a regular episode except with slightly more raunchy jokes and slightly more exasperated groans from Mike. 
In today's episode, we talk about the salt of having bad booster pack luck, some blazing hot takes with a Dash of salt, and a player that got bamboozled about commander damage. 
We also talk about wearing rings and milk.

Welcome to Episode...70? No, this isn't a mistake. Tony insisted he be a part of Episode 69, and he is still on his honeymoon right now so here is Episode 70! TIME TRAVEL!
With Tony away, we welcome our honored guest host, Pat!
In today's episode, we talk about an Urabrask deck that storms off only to leave two players heavily salted, what happens when a new deck gets wrecked by the perfect silver bullet, and a Krenko player that just wanted some couch time. 
We also talk about the new Dr. Who products, amuse bouche, and a very special Salty Song of the Week.
Also, we are going to be Special Guests at the MTG Summit convention in Salt Lake City!
Go check it out and come hang with us! https://mtgsummit.com/

Welcome to Episode 68!
Today we have the Scrybabies in the mine cart! Tori of the Vast and Lua Stardust join us for a day of salty stories. Welcome back to Lua, our first returning guest!
In today's episode, we talk about infinite combos that don't quite fit in casual or cEDH, a salty confessional about a deck that is anything but group hug, and getting salty when your board gets wiped.
We also hear a bunch of great stories from the Scrybabies themselves! Two Sheoldreds, lost in the Neera sauce, and Quest for a Counter Spell. 
Check out more of the fantastic content from Scrybabies and check out their new channel focusing on 60-card formats, Scrybabies 60! 
Also, these are included for reference. It will make sense at some point, I swear.

Welcome to Episode 67! It's the Commander Sealed Recap Special!
Our episode today strays from our typical format as Mike and Sam recap their experience at the Commander Sealed convention in Rochester, New York. Oh and Tony is on his honeymoon! Congrats Tony!
We talk about our experience building a sealed commander deck and playing in the main event. We also recap all the games and fun moments we had over the weekend with the other amazing attendees. Sam rambles about a convoluted win with his Dawnwaker cEDH deck, and Mike opens pack upon pack of One Piece TCG. 
We had an awesome time at this convention, and we're already excited to go again next year!
Stay Salty!
