🔋NEW HSM!🔋

Today, we check back in with the salt lord Linchpin Jim, a story of fumbling the perfect play, and when one more quick game becomes a counterspell slog.

Also, Tony fights the power company (again), and we talk about the effect Vivi is having on Magic.

🍻 NEW HSM!🍻
And today we have Christian and Wally from @thechadmagic.bsky.social!

Today, we have poetic justice for a Cruella on spell table, a saga of salt about a disrespectful player stacking bulk, and when the perfect turn one happens but not for you.

🐉NEW HSM!🐉

Today we have an Animar dragon deck that isn't a dragon deck, when you're asked to declare all attackers at the exact same time, and two brothers that love to make each other salty and a father that wants it to change.

Also Chiaotzu, more than four letters, and failed filming.

⭐NEW HSM!⭐

AND WE ARE LIVE AT MC ATLANTA! Well… we were. But this is just a recording of that.

Today we are talking about the annoying tale of Jack, when an opponent refuses to reveal their commander, personal gripes against a fellow prospector, and a golden girl that wreaks havoc at an LGS.

Easily missable, you have to backtrack after getting to the final dungeon!

🎉NEW HSM!🎉

The slumber party continues! We are joined by the @scrybabies.bsky.social, @comedianmtg.bsky.social, and Tyler from @playtowinmtg.bsky.social!

Today we deal with bullies at the LGS, revenge when someone insults your deck, and when salt uncovers real world beef at Friendsgiving dinner.

Casting off my weighted blanket like when Rock Lee removes his training weights to fight Gaara. (I am about to sleep so fast.)

🍦NEW HSM!🍦

Need something to accompany you to MC Atlanta?

Today a knocked out opponent points out the winning line, a salty player decries "CEDH!" in the face of a quick deck, and when the whole LGS tells you that you don't know your own deck.

Also milk drinking and the salsa scale.

Its a slumber party episode with special guest Editor Dan aka @moderatelymtg.bsky.social

Today getting revenge on the Arcades player (for some reason), a coin deck causes a player to flip out, and when the RogSi player Gambles and loses.

Also, Sam sells a lemon.
September 18, 2025 at 3:04 PM
🛶NEW HSM!🛶

Today, a rules dispute on thopters leads to an awkward interaction, a salty experience at an LGS while traveling, and when a spelltable opponent won't stop bragging.

Also, canoe camping, wild toilets, and big hoops!
