| Date | Episode | Topics | Guests | Brands | Places | Keywords | Sponsor | Length | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10/22/26 | Mini Masters, Backsies, and Maliciousness or Incompetence | HSM 226 | A mini masters event is supposedly single elimination, the art of when to accept or deny backsies (our new favorite word), and not announcing cards is cool when you aren't sure your opponents know what is going on. Also, Sam walks us through a new and innovative deck building process where claims he actually knows how to finish decks now. | 1h 34m 20s | ||||||
| 10/15/26 | Mischievous Dice Rolls, Shout Beats Storm, Pregame MLD | HSM 225 | Today mischievous dice rolls that could get people DQed, a spelltable opponent misunderstands and shouts through a storm win, and a pregame discussion mentions MLD in bracket 2 and yet the game is still played. Also, Tony went to a world cup game, but Sam wouldn't let him talk about it so we talk about Sake and orange juice pulp instead. (You're welcome, everyone.) | 1h 24m 28s | ||||||
| 10/8/26 | Snooki's Stax, Strong But Not Amazing, and Same Wins | HSM 224 | Snooki baptizes new cEDH players in staxy salt, a salty game with a deck described as "strong but not amazing" (whatever that means), and it turns out there is more than one win condition. Also, Tony take a seat in the sapphire lap of luxury and shares his experience salting it up with the upper crust. | 1h 23m 26s | ||||||
| 10/1/26 | Stomped by Lazerpants, What's Priority Sam?, and No Good Very Bad Games | HSM 223 | Pantlaza has a normal game while stomping and flickering in Vegas, understanding how priority works does in fact matter, and sometimes you just have a horrible, no good, very bad string of games. Also Tony discusses the best seat in the house for watching streams, and tries to say he's an angel who fights inner demons but loses (he is lying). | 1h 09m 51s | ||||||
| 9/24/26 | The Reality Fracture Set Review! | HSM 222 | 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. | 1h 31m 45s | ||||||
| 9/17/26 | Scooping While Goaded, ThreeDH Collusion, and Valgavoth is Cracked | HSM 221 | The ethics of scooping when you're goaded, the karma of colluding in a tournament of three player games, and a story where Sam searches for the salt. Valgavoth is best friends with Sire of Insanity, Dan Lewis is a card, and fancy icecream. | 1h 22m 55s | ||||||
