Last week we looked at the importance of losing.  This week we thought we would follow up with our thoughts around how not to spoil your playgroup with your conduct when you win.  Remember, the best compliment you can be paid is that they want to play with you again...so winning and how you handle it become very important.   This week’s deck.. https://www.moxfield.com/decks/XkZt5r_95Uew9hZM1dpDlw...

Tonight the guys dive into an element that is often overlooked when asking what makes a successful playgroup.  Since most players come out on the losing side of any match, the ability to handle losing is critical, but often misunderstood.  Bruce and Pete tackle this head on in the hopes of helping players handle losing with a little more grace.   This week's Deck! https://www.moxfield.com/decks/4k...

Tonight Bruce and Pete tackle another format that can help spice up your commander game play while not hurting your wallet.  They take a look at Pauper EDH and try to solve some of the wrinkles with this format.  Come along for the ride!
