Our guest this week is Good Luck High Five’s Maria! She’s brought an old school 2019 Standard deck that is near and dear to her: Pants (where “pants” means auras). Maria shares not only how the deck works but also what it meant to her to play and compete with it. Vinny and Neale talk about Spotlight Series Toronto, saying Farewell, and how to pronounce “libraries”.

Our guest this week is Del! He’s the co-host of the Planeswalker Traffic Report and builder of this week’s deck: Uncle Touchy (a Patton Oswalt reference). Uncle Touchy seems like it should be a beast to play against. And it is. And that’s the point. It’s built to produce the most incredible nightmare game of commander possible (with everyone’s consent). Neale and Vinny talk about our Local LGS, combo in a casual meta, and “the thirteen guy”.
