  • Sidistique (episode 4, main podcast)
    In this episode of the main podcast, the duo conduct the first of what will be a number of deck-techs related to Competitive Commander.
    This deck tech is on the Ad Nauseam Fishbowl archetype, led by Sidisi, Undead Vizier.
    In the course of this episode, rather than giving a card by card list of what's in the deck, the hosts instead talk about the deck itself. This includes classifying what the deck archetype is, how to execute the primary gameplan of the deck, the deck's backup game plans, the archetype's weaknesses, and other things associated with the archetype.
    For a full card-by-card list of what is in this variation, you can follow the following link below:

  • The Toxic Deluge (episode 3, main podcast)
    In this hilariously irreverent episode, the hosts describe some of the strategies and techniques that they use with each other, in game, to get under each other's skin in order to get the psychological upper-hand.
