The Howling Salt Mine

Today we walk through some of our favorite cards from the set including echo pairs, color shifted cards, potential cEDH cards, and of course, the cards we think will make people salty.

Also whether you are a lore head or not, BUCKLE UP because Sam takes us on a mini deep dive because hey, he's a lore guy now.

Stay Salty!

Sam, Mike, & Tony

(also thanks to WotC for letting us be a part of the #mtgambassador program again!)

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.

Zach the Bold joins us in the mine today for a special guest episode!

A player definitely isn't salty about their friend's proxied Bracket 4 Urza deck, how tracking games can lead to a spiral of salt to try to chase those wins, and removal spell is deflected with a new free spell: bribery (not the one you're thinking of).

Also Zach loves Code Red, Jake and Amir does it again, and QuiGon wigs.

Stay Salty!

Sam, Mike, & Tony

Two modern players hit a salty stalemate with a Samwise food deck and a prowess deck, an incredibly long 5 player game provides us an incredibly long salty story, and a sudden win from the graveyard leads a particularly gross scoop.

Also Sam is battling chipmunks in his garden, and Mike is battling on Arena to get a Hobbit Collector Box.

Stay Salty!

Tony and Sam kick it off with a chat about Collector Booster boxes and the state of the cost of Magic these days. Then, a prerelease deal to split a box is changed, another prerelease is soured from a niche rules interaction, and a Blue Farm player backseat drives their RogSi friend in a cEDH tournament.

Also Tony is clearly not 1337, and HSM has too many calendars.

Stay Salty!
