Welcome to Episode 91!
We're doing something a little different today with our first ever episode of Salty Tales!
While we were at MagicCon Chicago, we walked around the convention floor and asked people "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. From extra turns to late game board wipes to the evils of landfall, we cover it all.
We had a lot of fun making this episode, and we hope you enjoy it too! Find us at a future convention to give us your salt.
Also, Mike's mom wrote a book, and you should read it!

Hey Prospectors.
This episode is a little different from our normal episodes, and that is because we have removed Episode 33 from our podcast stream. This episode featured a guest that we have since come to learn behaved in a way that is firmly out of line with our values and the values of the podcast. Because of that we felt it was best to simply remove this episode.
So with that in mind, jump on to the next episode. Keep the salt train rolling, and thanks again for listening.
Thank you for understanding, and Stay Salty.
Sam, Mike & Tony
Welcome to Episode 32!

Welcome to Episode 21! It's the Magic 30 Recap Special!
Recorded live in kitchen of our AirBnB in Las Vegas just before midnight after the last day of Magic 30. This episode strays from our typical format as we talk through our experience at Magic 30. A little longer, a little less editing, and a little more salt.
Stay Salty!
