| 30 Oct 2020 | Ep.4: Winning Isn't Everything, It's Just The Only Thing That Matters | 01:39:20 | |
Here at The Social Contract we promote the phrase, "Like to win, love to play." The game is a great time, win or lose. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try to win though! This week Mike and Judge Alex go over all of the cards in our format that serve as Alternative Win Conditions, specifically that say, "if _____ You Win the Game." How hard are these to pull off? How much fun are they? Does Mike come to terms that Stax can be fun? No, no he doesn't. Later we advise players new and veteran alike on how to not be a jerk in different ways. We put the spotlight on some budget cards that are in less than 100 decks each on EDHRec, and why it's insane. We close with Judge Alex telling us the most powerful word in Magic, and why it's still not perfect. Buy Cards at TCGplayer and support us here http://bit.ly/edh_social | |||
