The Howling Salt Mine

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

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.

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!

Today, Uncle Iroh has a big turn and ruins the game night vibe, a salty friend leaves his commander in exile and leaves the commander playgroup, and an opponent casts a Worldpurge in a 12 person game to create a true nightmare of a game.

Also the boys chat about the Ocarina of Time remake, and Sam is confidently wrong about Super Smash Brothers.

Stay Salty!

Today, a "judge" at the LGS makes you skip your untap step, a braids player is that braids player, and a player fudges some rules at an edge of eternities prerelease event.

Also, Sam and Mike give Selvala the ideal send off she deserves (without Tony).

Stay Salty!
