Episode notes

What's up Bolcuts!

We're back for the first time in 2026! A day late, but that's Mike's fault. Turns out I messed up and sent some back audio files. Ken turned some real garbage into something at least listenable so shout out to Ken!

We came back in style with Magic shitposter and fellow Canadian Carolyn Wang aka @Caro_IRL on Twitter. She makes my feed more fun and I laugh a bunch thanks to her, highly recommend the follow. We get into the beginnings of Commander and how to represent your power level .

It's another mailbag episode with Morgan and Michael Celani aka GamesfreakSA. EDHREC writer Nicholas Lucchesi wrote in about how he believes there are no staples in Commander.

Mike has also finally seen The Lord of the Rings and talks about that. Also, the new censored word is dingaling. This is the only time I'll tell you what it is.
