The legend of the 11-hour Finals game grows even further! This past week, one of the most insane games of cEDH happened -- and it wasn't insane because of the number of cool interactions.

On this week's episode, we return to the topic of brackets BECAUSE WE'RE ALLOWED TO CHANGE OUR MINDS ABOUT SOME STUFF. We're also featuring a clip from @TolarianCommunityCollege (starting at 32:54) help us make some sense as to why Magic's IPs have felt a little weird lately..
