- Salt can be fun but sometimes you need to power down to experience it, TMNT simply has too much synergy, and Mike and Tony are curious boys who like to learn about story titles but it upsets Sam.
Also, Sam thinks he has a green thumb with hot peppers (even though he stresses out his plants), Tony's dad actually has a green thumb, and Mike used to have a pet turtle.
Stay Salty!
Sam, Mike, & Tony

Have you ever been salty while playing Magic the Gathering? This is the show for you.
The Howling Salt Mine is a Magic the Gathering comedy/advice podcast where we read salty stories from the community about games gone wrong, frustrating interactions, and challenging playgroup dynamics. Stories range from frustrating FNMs, getting pubstomped by that jerk at your LGS, and lots of commander stories where the salt is plentiful. We offer advice on how to deal with the frustrations of losing, how to avoid (or use) the saltiest cards in EDH, and how to navigate social situations.
Join Sam, Mike, and Tony each week as we delve into the salty, salty mines of the community, put some salt in our mine cart, and bring it right back up to our dear prospectors listening at home.
