As the Eclipse comes and goes, Vangelus and TJ bear witness to an event only hinted at in the spreadsheets of yore: Aaron has finally fallen down the darkest of rabbit holes with no way to come out. At least he's able to record a couple of podcast episodes from down there.

The powers that be have informed me that despite my love of the term "Droop Snoot", I'm not allowed to just have the description of this episode be the words "Droop Snoot" repeated over and over again. The lack of ability to spam "Droop Snoot" on the front page wasn't a decision of Vangelus', who particularly enjoys the words "Droop Snoot". The "Droop Snoot" discussion was specifically the cause of "Droop Snoot" expert Aaron, who brought the "Droop Snoot" to the table, and the constant use of th...

Now it's our turn! First we'll play "TJ Returns from TFCon Orlando!" from my hand! This allows us to play "Aaron: The Non-Chiral" directly from our deck... but that's not all! After playing both of those cards, we reveal our face-down cards: "Vangelus, The Everwatching" and "The Neverending GoBots Rabbit Hole!" These two cards will work together, along with the rest of the field, to create a new episode of WTF @ TFW. I end my turn.

There's one simple running thread on this Spoopy-time episode of WTF@TFW: Things. Are. Big. Aaron's encounter with a City Commander? Big. TJ's new gorilla friend? Big. Vangelus' obsession with the term "Man Juice"? Too big to go in this episode description. Thankfully, you have an entire episode of WTF@TFW to grasp how biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig things truly are.
