    HSM 200: Losing to Spell Pierce and Losing Your Playgroup with Josh Lee Kwai of The Command Zone!

    23/04/2026 | 1h 17 mins.
    WELCOME TO EPISODE 200!!!

    And to help us celebrate this huge milestone, we are joined by Josh Lee Kwai from The Command Zone podcast and Game Knights!

    On today's episode, voltronning someone in their own home so badly that you don't get invited back, an opponent threatens to scoop to Spell Pierce, and the regret of breaking out your Baral deck to keep another player in check. 

    Also, managing salt on set and whining until you win.

    Thank you to all the prospectors in the mine for listening along with us for 200 episodes. We would not have made it this far without our incredible community. 

    Stay Salty!

    Sam, Mike, & Tony

    HSM 199: Fed Up With Infinites, Dismiss into Salt, and Slaying Spires

    16/04/2026 | 1h 19 mins.
    Welcome to Episode 199!

    This week, a story where a new player repeatedly encounters infinite combos, a dreamy pod with a whiny baby is dismissed forever, and the freedom of letting go of old things and being your true self inspired by... Tergrid?

    Also, Tony and Mike pitch Sam on Slay the Spire 2, and we might be cringe but we are free.

    Stay Salty!

    HSM 198: Losing Trust, Flayer of Salt, and Cleaning Out the Fridge

    09/04/2026 | 1h 17 mins.
    Welcome to Episode 198!

    This week, when your favorite podcast hosts consistently misunderstand one of your favorite cards, the fall out of breaking a deal and losing trust in your playgroup, and a bad match up with too much mill leads to some intense salt.

    Also, Sam gets a new fridge and talks about it a lot.

    Stay Salty!

    HSM 197: Salt in Upkeep, Fifteen Board Wipes, and the Balatro Wagon

    02/04/2026 | 1h 22 mins.
    Welcome to Episode 197!

    Today, a player in a friendly tournament keeps missing triggers which leads to tension in the group, a poorly built spite deck confuses a playgroup, and the headache of trying to track down a gift exchange deck that was never sent.

    Also Sam is off the Balatro wagon and on the Balatro bandwagon. (or is it the other way around?)

    HSM 196: Un-Set Trash, Salt or Fiction, and Defense Grid Bullying

    26/03/2026 | 1h 25 mins.
    Welcome to Episode 196!

    Today, when your first cEDH game is against two tipsy salty boys, an opponent that fills their deck with frustrating Un-Set cards, and a salty revenge against a dismissive pirate.

    Also we talk about Dingus Con and we break down a salty cEDH deal between Mike and Tony.

    Stay Salty!

    Sam, Mike, & Tony

    (also sorry if Mike's audio is a little off in the intro of this one!)
