    1. 602.5a (Read main rule first, 602.5)
  4. Commander Rules!
    1. Define: Saltiness
    2. Let’s be honest: Everyone gets Salty sometimes, it’s nearly impossible to avoid. But maybe by investigating the way we feel, we can get salty less often, and perhaps handle the times when we do get salty, a little better?
      1. Saltiness might be different for different people
    3. What makes Ryan and Zack Salty?
    4. If you think about, with a base 25% chance to win a game, cards that are making you lose the game, shouldn’t produce as much salt as they do
      1. Remind ourselves that we are playing a GAME and that it’s supposed to be fun!
      2. Take a moment to think about your mood. Is there something going on in your life that is making you more prone to getting salty? Maybe now is not the time to get into a competitive situation
      3. Run more answers
      4. Not take things personally.
      5. Realize if someone is acting different than they normally do, and if so, some of your normal behaviors might be perceived differently, so dial it back a bit?
      6. Have the talk to prevent saltiness
        1. Ryan - Often times I like to play a mono-red (or more of my just-for-fun decks). I go into the game not planning to win. I still play to win, but I don’t have the expectation of winning, so I usually don’t get salty
      7. Focus on  having fun as much as winning
    5. What can we do about getting Salty? Are we getting salty more often than we should?
      1. Do you win more than 25% of the games?
      2. Do you often times find people groaning when you play specific cards?
      3. Are people not wanting to play with you?
      4. Are you a sore winner or loser?
    6. We like to turn the focus inwards, so we want to ask “Do we sometimes behave in a way that could contribute to other’s Salinity levels?
      1. Disclaimer: We don’t play against much MLD in our meta, so none of that made our lists

      2. Also, EDHRec has a list of Salty cards, check it out here:
        1. secret
      3. Zack
        1. secret
      4. Ryan
    7. Ryan and Zack’s Top 8 Cards that make them want to be salty.
    8. Summary. This is a great game, with an amazing community, let’s all try to make it a little better, and get Salty less often, and try to be more understanding when people we play with get Salty.
