Stay Salty!

Welcome to Episode 204!

Today, holding back to let a new player have their moment, when your friend unknowingly silver bullets your entire deck, and the pure unfiltered vitriol of a manbaby on MTGO.

Stay Salty!

WELCOME TO EPISODE 200!!!

And to help us celebrate this huge milestone, we are joined by Josh Lee Kwai from The Command Zone podcast and Game Knights!

On today's episode, voltronning someone in their own home so badly that you don't get invited back, an opponent threatens to scoop to Spell Pierce, and the regret of breaking out your Baral deck to keep another player in check. 

Also, managing salt on set and whining until you win.

Thank you to all the prospectors in the mine for listening along with us for 200 episodes. We would not have made it this far without our incredible community. 

Stay Salty!

Sam, Mike, & Tony

Welcome to Episode 199!

This week, a story where a new player repeatedly encounters infinite combos, a dreamy pod with a whiny baby is dismissed forever, and the freedom of letting go of old things and being your true self inspired by... Tergrid?

Also, Tony and Mike pitch Sam on Slay the Spire 2, and we might be cringe but we are free.

Stay Salty!

Sam, Mike, & Tony

Welcome to Episode 198!

This week, when your favorite podcast hosts consistently misunderstand one of your favorite cards, the fall out of breaking a deal and losing trust in your playgroup, and a bad match up with too much mill leads to some intense salt.

Also, Sam gets a new fridge and talks about it a lot.

Stay Salty!
