Jasper talks about the two different builds of Painter he played: blue-green Echo Painter and red-white Strawberry Shortcake, while Francis goes through his choices for Cephalid Breakfast and his Premodern Life Combo deck.  After a brief digression into options for unpowered Vintage lists, they wrap up with a look ahead to an upcoming local tournament, with an innovative new build of Painter hoving into view.
