Welcome back Pauper fam! We were so pumped from NRG Indy that we couldn't wait to get home before recording this week's episode! A couple of lav mics in a car travelling 70 mph isn't the most ideal recording studio but the vibes shine through and we wanted to capture the magic that was this past Sunday. Thank you to everyone who came out and to NRG for hosting such a fun tournament! Look out for a deeper decklist dive next week plus catching up with some other tournament results. Thank you as always for listening fam!
