    HSM 100: Totally Not A Guest Episode...

    HSM 100: Totally Not A Guest Episode...

    EPISODE 100 IS HERE!
    And we couldn't be less prepared... I really wish we had come up with something fun and exciting for this huge milestone, but we didn't. I guess we might as well do some housekeeping in the mine since we have the time. That front door hasn't been closing all the way.
    If we did plan something, it would probably include some amazing returning guests like:
    Mike Carrozza from Am I The Bolcast
    Joe Johnson from Table Top Jocks
    Tyler from Play to Win
    Ken Baumann
    Comedian MTG
    Lua Stardust from Scrybabies
    Oh well. Maybe we'll be more prepared for Episode 200.
    Stay Salty!

    HSM 97: Impish Deals, In That Case, and Pursuit of the Thing

    Welcome to Episode 97! 
    Nick hops in the minecart as Tony finishes up his musical duties. 
    In today's episode, we talk about some classic salt of deal loopholes, changing targets after you've picked them, and when your friends stop you from "doing the thing" but the thing involves obliterating their board states. 
    Also new playgroups, attractions are lame, and I have over 300 confirmed...

The Laughter is Contagious

Found this show after Sam appeared on the Scry Babies YouTube channel and I’m so glad I tuned in. Ostensibly, it’s a comedy advice show about Magic: the Gathering, but in reality it’s a hilarious group of friends who give you advice about how to manage life’s little frustrations while dunking on eachother.

Love everything from Sam’s songs, Mike’s refusal to get the tattoo, and Tony’s reluctance to fill in for Mike on occasion (it’s in the contract, Tony) to the occasional Nick or guest appearance!

These salt crusts are dummy thicc

Magic: the Gathering lovers! Commander players! Silly cover song connoisseurs! Add this podcast to your rotation NOW. The boys are humorous, informative, and often dirty… Great podcast, very addictive. Came here to say the “Keep On Lovin’” parody got me to write this review. More edited songs with harmonies and backing tracks, please!! :D
