No full episode this week. I am tired and back from a cut-short vacation. I'll be back in full swing next week with lots of stories about a crazy AirBnB.

This week, it's a touchy subject. Scalping is prevalent in all Trading Card Games, not just Magic the Gahtering. I talk about the issue with it and how it is unfortunate that it is around to stay with the current culture around collectible card games.

This week, it's a debate as old as magic itself. What is better, card draw or tutoring? I go over the pros of each and the cons, and tell you that I stand with the tutor crowd. I also discuss Spider-Man and my thoughts on the current Final Fantasy prices.

This week I talk about general threat assessment and the complicated rock, paper, scissors that is Magic the Gathering. Threat assessment is hard and you will make mistakes along the way as you get better at it, but keep trying and don't be afraid to make mistakes and learn from them.

This week, we go over threats and what is more important, the threat in your face or the threat on the horizon in a commander game. Magic the Gathering is a difficult game, and threat assessment is a hard thing. When there is a lightning rod in the command zone, you can get a little tunnel visioned on that player while another player at the table runs away with the game, so what is the best balance?

Should Commander Damage be a thing or do you just need to run more interaction? You can't get knocked out with Commander Damage if you keep countering or killing their commander.

This week, I go deep into Unions, why they're important, and the union busting tactics of TCG Player. It gets heated but I'm always passionate about other people being harmed.

This week, I talk about the different types of builders in Commander. Some tweak and tinker with their decks constantly, while others destroy and build something new from the pieces. Which type of Magic: The Gathering deck builder are you? Tinkerer or Destroyer?

This week I go into a tunnel and talk all about getting tunnel vision on one combo in your deck rather than using every card at your disposal. I'm also sick, so excuse my voice.
