These salt crusts are dummy thicc

Magic: the Gathering lovers! Commander players! Silly cover song connoisseurs! Add this podcast to your rotation NOW. The boys are humorous, informative, and often dirty… Great podcast, very addictive. Came here to say the “Keep On Lovin’” parody got me to write this review. More edited songs with harmonies and backing tracks, please!! :D

It’s not what you think but exactly what you need to hear.

I came looking to further my understanding and love for mining salt….. I found a salt unlike no other. From the depths of the howling salt mines I found a salt more salty than I have ever found. Is it from the tears of magic players causing this? The world may never know.
