Constructed Criticism

Bro u made a choice to play control. And they are choosing to not concede. Like claiming they are holding u hostage??? U have agency. U can choose to not play control. They didn’t call ur choice to play control rude did they???

Mason and Abe are great but the podcast would be better if the sweaty guy they call Spencer wouldn’t interrupt what they’re saying literally every time they try to speak for more than 30 seconds. Seriously if I was his friend I would pull them aside and tell him to bite your tongue and let other people speak for more than a minute before you start over running them with your garbled speech that sounds like you haven’t finished chewing your mouth full of chicken wings. Seriously dude speak 50% less in the podcast would be listenable.

I have to say, this podcast brings a much different vibe than the other MtG pods out there. A lot of vulnerability, they talk about the personal parts of the pursuit of improvement in the hobby, and the emotional side of it all. Also bring great insight, although generally more focused than most on the broader aspects of improvement rather than format specific (although there’s plenty of meta specific analysis too). Can be kind of a heavy listen, honestly, but definitely doing something valuable and different than other people in the space.

This show is great about keeping the main focus on always improving. It’s one of the few MTG podcasts I can listen to regularly and know that I’m going to hear a high quality episode each week.
