A Messy Format That Lives For Drama

Dan and Rachel talk about the Hybrid Mana debate, the most annoying cards/combos that they play anyway, and their pet peeves in game. Inevitably, the conversation comes back around to the recent EDH drama surrounding casual and cEDH but they only talk about it for like five minutes, promise.

Do people love set review episodes? Do people hate set review episodes? There's truly no way to know for sure. Dan and Rachel both picked a handful of cards from Theros: Beyond Death that they're excited about! Some are commanders! Some are just fun!

The Ballad of Lonesome George

This one was really all over the place but in a fun way! Rachel and Dan talk about their favorite colors and color combos to play, which somehow leads to a 10 minute tangent about turtle sex which somehow leads back to figuring out once and for all which of the five colors is the most blatantly sexual. This might be one to wear headphones for if you're at work. Sorry about that.
