Show Notes
Tony and Sam kick it off with a chat about Collector Booster boxes and the state of the cost of Magic these days. Then, a prerelease deal to split a box is changed, another prerelease is soured from a niche rules interaction, and a Blue Farm player backseat drives their RogSi friend in a cEDH tournament.

A mini masters event is supposedly single elimination, the art of when to accept or deny backsies (our new favorite word), and not announcing cards is cool when you aren't sure your opponents know what is going on.
Today mischievous dice rolls that could get people DQed, a spelltable opponent misunderstands and shouts through a storm win, and a pregame discussion mentions MLD in bracket 2 and yet the game is still played.
Snooki baptizes new cEDH players in staxy salt, a salty game with a deck described as "strong but not amazing" (whatever that means), and it turns out there is more than one win condition.
Pantlaza has a normal game while stomping and flickering in Vegas, understanding how priority works does in fact matter, and sometimes you just have a horrible, no good, very bad string of games. Also Tony discusses the best seat in the house for watching streams, and tries to say he's an angel who fights inner demons but loses (he is lying).
Today we walk through some of our favorite cards from the set including echo pairs, color shifted cards, potential cEDH cards, and of course, the cards we think will make people salty. Also whether you are a lore head or not buckle up because Sam takes us on a mini deep dive because hey, he's a lore guy now.
