In which we discuss what happened to Dirk, refute the notion that there's no such thing as a free lunch, explain why it's good that we didn't record the previous game, and play some Magic. No really!Mike, Brian, and Chewie lead off with a fairly quick game of Commander, where Chewie's relatively new Johan deck got off to a ridiculous start. Holy crap. Then there's another Commander game after that! After that, we clear up some confusion about whether or not Mike realizes we're not playing EDH anymore, and proceed to play a game with normal decks. I can't really call it a 60 card game, but you'll see why. And we decided to end up with a relatively quick game of Horde Magic again Brian's green Horde deck. Been a while since you heard about that format, hasn't it?So that's our second long-lost live episode. During the last two games, Brian's daughter Sam was awake and running around and happy, so you'll just have to deal with all the assorted baby noises, toy noises, and Chewie turning around to talk to her. She's so cute. And he has focus problems when there's a baby around. Also, we hope you enjoyed the I Fight Dragons sampler platter.Intro & Outro Music – Diamond by Swift – http://www.swift-band.com Break Musics – All of these are by I Fight Dragons (played on the episode in this order) off their album Kaboom! - http://www.ifightdragons.comSave World Get GirlMy WayKaboom!With You
