#mtgambassadors for Tarkir: Dragonstorm!
🎃NEW HSM!🎃

Today, we talk about a cEDH bully that wastes interaction, another 8-player game that thankfully has a happy ending, and when an opponent creates chaos as they leave a game early. 

Also, Halloween memories! Bad costumes, first halloweens, and the best candy.

🐉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.
