The Howling Salt Mine – Details, episodes & analysis

Welcome to Episode 116!

Sam is back from paternity leave! Through the magic of backlogging episodes, you may not have noticed, but Sam is back to dive into the SALT. 

Today, we talk about whether forests really die or not (they do), if a draw is a moral victory, and the classic dilemma of the "upgraded" precon.

Also Mana Drain pain, sheet plastic pizza, and Pink Plankton Club. You're welcome.

Stay Salty!

Welcome to Episode 115!

Today, we talk about the ups and downs of casting a turn 1 commander, when two pubstompers and an unsleeved chaos gremlin walk into an LGS, and we cast our verdict to determine whether something is trolling or a spite play. 

Also we talk s'mores, marshmallow techniques, and lessons learned about fire safety.
