⛰️NEW HSM!⛰️
Today, how not to teach a new player commander, Derevi value versus Daretti artifacts, and your opponent definitely knows the rules so don't even bother to look them up.
Also, The Men's Summit (not weird), Buck Hunter sucks, and why Mark? WHY!?

🎂NEW HSM!🎂
IT'S A GREMLIN BOYS EP!
Today, when an opponent loses because they whined about their salty day, what happens when you trust the wrong player with your special new deck, and when the fourth player ruins the vibe.
Also, Tony's birthday, barrel-aged Malort, and Douchenstein's monster.

(we don't take holidays off in the mine 😤)
Today, we talk about when your special new brew gets crushed, a classic tale of ignoring the pregame conversation, and the pain of your own cards backstabbing you.
Also, Great British Bake Off league and our new studio.

Today, we talk about a cEDH bully that wastes interaction, another 8-player game that thankfully has a happy ending, and when an opponent creates chaos as they leave a game early.
Also, Halloween memories! Bad costumes, first halloweens, and the best candy.

Today we have an Animar dragon deck that isn't a dragon deck, when you're asked to declare all attackers at the exact same time, and two brothers that love to make each other salty and a father that wants it to change.
Also Chiaotzu, more than four letters, and failed filming.
