Jesse left us alone and we didn't have adult supervision so this is the episode you get. I will not apologize for the regional food discussion at the beginning, that's probably the most you've ever learned listening to this show.

In this very powerful episode 50, we told Anthony he can talk about bonus sheets, which i'm pretty sure is just a sneaky way for him to gush over strixhaven a little more. Also they talk about hockey. I do not apologize for what happens during that bit.

Jesse's been back on the competitive saddle, and the boys are using that as an excuse to talk about Scapeshift decks throughout history. Turning all of your lands into mountains and a Valakut is a strategy as old as time, and the deck's sort of kind of really cool actually.

Anthony is not impressed by anything that's happened in the last two weeks, and Darren very smartly pushed up his glasses before recording today's episode because he's very smart and knows money things. Basically what we're saying is that we could do a better job running Hasbro.

Sorry we took another break right after taking a break, but the break we took before that was so good we wanted to do it again for a third time. Some day this show will get onto a regular schedule hopefully. Anyway, we talk about our Timeless tournament, Value Vintage, Modern bans I guess, and also the cards we think are cool from that Tarkir set that released last week.
