It’s important, when you have a podcast, to come up with great memorable titles for your episodes.

On this episode, we have fungus expert, L2, and prolific judge blogger Nik Zitomer on to talk about balancing out your work, judging, playing, and family life. We also talk about some of the advantages that Magic can give in all of those!

Cash Turner has been playing Magic off and on for twenty years. He made Top 16 at Grand Prix Las Vegas in 2015 and Top 8 at Grand Prix Atlanta. He’s just a back room scallywag of ChannelFireball with a squad of ChannelFireball locals who have the heart and grit but not the spotlight. He’s blessed to be surrounded by low tier secret gods.

First Set

Mirage

Favorite Set

Return to Ravnica

Favorite Card

Fireblast

Underrated Card

Bastion Mastodon

Early Challenge

Cash was very opinionated and arrogant. He recognizes now that he didn't learn all he could.

Worst Magic Moment

Cash made a terrible attack against Ben Stark at GP Vegas 2015 and missed making Top 8. Learn to focus on what's important. Don't get distracted by big creatures or planeswalkers.

Proudest Magic Moment

Through clever body language Cash defeated an opponent at GP Albuquerque when he had an inferior deck.

Best Format

Limited - Sealed

Deepest Thing You've Learned About Yourself

Always wanted to figure out life. Magic has taught Cash about who he could be and how he doesn't want to be. He never wants to be a angry jerk.

Biggest Mistake Players Make

Play the game how you want to play. Don't copy the styles of others.

Shortcoming

Memorize draft picks.

Daily Rituals

Rejecting the modern draw of constant entertainment. You can't get grit w/o a little bit of boring along the way.

Guidance

Everything is in the fringes. Be polite.

Pro Player You Look Up To

Paul Cheon

Cash's Squad

Magic Resource

Cash plays a lot and doesn't read as much.

This is episode 20, and I’m talking to Sid Blair. Sid got an 18 month DCI suspension for hard stylin it with butt cracks at GP Richmond and then posting the photos on Reddit.

Of course, it went viral and even Time magazine picked it up.

Sid shares with us how life has been and what he’s up to now.

I hope you enjoy my hilarious conversation with Sid Blair.

A Pro Tour is so much more than a Magic tournament!  Join the TriHards as they breakdown a new Standard that may not even apply to any future meta!  What did the 'Hards think of coverage changes, a new Top 8 format & the difference between a Top 8 birth & potential Standard dominating tech?  & who won the TriHard's PT Pick'em?  It's all in this week's episode of TriHards!

Corey and Darrel talk about Pro Tour Kaladesh results, the latest modern meta report, and brewing with Saheeli Rai in modern.

Pro Tour Kaladesh happened, so we've got a whole new metagame to talk about! Because of that, we've got Chris Lansdell on to talk about all these new decks! The Top 8 was pretty awesome, with aggro, combo, and control all represented! How sweet is that?

Of course we had a few interesting tangents along the way, discussing the new format of Pro Tour Top 8s, how MTGO is really not pretty, and why Chewie is a wuss.
