We're back in our home state again. Does it feel good? Hard to say, we'll get back to you on that. We'll be checking a few shops and seeing what we see.

We're in Bozeman, MT. Had lunch at a Creole spot and going to play some Magic tonight at a place called Rook's Games and More.

We're in Fargo, ND and even here there's Magic. Almost any decent sized city is going to have at least one game shop where you'll find some tables to play some games. Sometimes you get lucky and get to play Modern Horizons for less than half the normal price.

We're heading back to Seattle. After more than a year away it feels oh-so-good to be on our way back.

Sometimes talking to someone one-on-one isn't enough. Sometimes what needs to happen is for the person that's crossed a line to be called out in front of the group.

If you don't know what matters to you, and why, then almost anything will do. You need to have the answers to hard questions or other's will find homes in the slots you've left unfilled.

My wife went on a walk on a hazy day. She said she could almost taste the nihilism. I told her, "No, you could literally taste it. That's exactly what you tasted."

Do I have interesting views, or are they just messed up? How else do people see the world? Surely I'm not the only one that sees the hilarity in some of these things.

Del and Vera talk about what they're playing in Standard these days, what they like about their decks, and what things aren't working so well. They touch on the topic of challenging players, but will talk about that in a later episode. They also go over the Oathbreaker format and why they're going to give it a try.

Magic is in the best place ever right now. The game has never been more popular, played by more people, or so well designed. They're firing on all cylinders. We can't wait for what comes next.
