This week we wander through a wide range of topics as listener email covers a variety of topics, including the best way to trade up at GPs, how Jason got screwed out of full-art Mutavaults, and which cast member has more pro-points.  Somehow Corbin works in football player Mark Sanchez and the butt-fumble.  Breaking bulk covers some recent reprints with a low buy in, and finally the prospects of Amonkhet cards are foretold.

Douglas Johnson is our guest (@Rose0fthorns)

This week on the Cardhoarder Podcast Alex Ullman joins the show to share his expertise on the Pauper format.  We go over a brief history of Pauper and the evolution of the banned list.  Alex shares his most impactful cards in the format and whether the jump from Dailies to Leagues on Magic Online has been a positive shift for the format.
