A Magic: the Gathering podcast, where we discuss casual aspects of both 60 card/kitchen-table and EDH/Commander play styles. We’re here for the stories, so come and join us at the Temple of the False Pod, where our decks aren’t optimized but our plays sure as HECK are fun.

With a year in the bag, we talk about our favorite color! White Enchantments are a saving grace in all games, and these ones don't get enough attention!
