  • The Salt Mine Episode 16 ft Callum Smith aka Whitefaces – The Unexpected Rise of Miracles and Canadian Thresh.

     

    We’re back!

    Happy New Year dear listeners!

    We leap into 2018 with a longtime friend of the cast, Callum Smith also known as Whitefaces on MtgtheSource and Magic Online.

    In this cast we take an in-depth look at the new Miracles lists that Callum has helped to pioneer and examine the strengths and weaknesses of these “topless miracles” decks. We also look at Canadian Threshold, a deck which Sean and friends have been carving up the tournament scene with here in Australia and around the world.

      A stray comment on Twitter about Show and Tell has lead to the eminent Julian Knab joining The Salt Mine for this very special episode! We concentrate on wrapping up the events, decks and lack of coverage at GP Louisville and where the metagame and coverage will be going in future. We also speak about a lot of other things – some Aether Revolt cards, Julian’s JKEternal event, our Guf Ballarat experience and the future of Magic Online.

      Enjoy!

    About The Salt Mine

    From the publisher's feed

    Welcome to The Salt Mine, where a few ANZAC lads discuss Magic: the Gathering, focusing on the Legacy format both globally and in Australia. Expect some whinging, whining and general saltiness, as well as hopefully some useful content.
