Hello, everyone, and welcome to episode 519 of the MTG Old Fish podcast.

I'm Seth, probably better to notice at Fred Olive, and we have the full crew here this week.

Kicking things off with the owner of MTG Goldfish.

Richard. How are you this fine Monday, Richard? Good morning, Seth. How is your heart? There was some intense footballing this weekend. Does the city of Buffalo still exist? I don't know. I think it's still standing for now. We'll see if they make it through another round. Who knows? All bets are off. But yeah, that was a very scary game. But in the end, in the end, they managed to pull it out. And actually, I have some magic thoughts about football that we're going to get to in a minute. But before we get into that, we got another co-host in Crim. Good morning, Krim. How are you? Morning? I don't have to partaking that stress anymore because my team's not there. On top of that,

yo, so for my birthday weekend, I went out.

I went to an RCQ or whatever, right?

Yo, I'm back to washed.

I'm back to watch.

On your birthday, that would have been epic.

Dude, no, no, no, no.

That was the best part. I'm back to wash. I went out for my birthday weekend and I was just like, okay, I can continue to try to play. You know, like when you lose the first round of an RCQ, it's like, do I want to actually try to play and be in the bubble for the rest of the day? Or can I just go out and go do other stuff with my birthday?

I was like, okay, usually when I lose the first round of a tournament, I just drop. So I did. I'm watching. Hey, what it, what else you get to do for your birthday? You do anything fun? Well, I just hung out with friends and family. Yeah. Kept it kind of simple. Nice. Anyway, today we're going to be jumping around a little bit.

We're waiting for spoilers. Mlaver. Yeah. Kept it kind of simple. Nice. Anyway, today we're going to be jumping around a little bit.

We're waiting for spoilers season to start, which is tomorrow we get into Etherdrift

spoilers.

But today we're going to bounce around a little bit, talk a little bit about how the NFL

from this weekend relates to magic, maybe some Ether Spark prediction, some standard

thoughts, modern deck thoughts. So we're going to be bouncing around from this topic to that topic. Before we get into it, a reminder that today's show is brought to you by Card Conduit.

The bills were playing. So I watched a decent amount of football this weekend. And I was watching football. And I don't know if you guys got to see any of the games over this weekend or maybe even just the highlights on social media. But there was a couple of pretty controversial plays, mostly involving a certain quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs. So I can't say too much because Josh Allen for the Bills does the same thing sometimes. So I can't be too harsh on Mahomes. But basically, I don't know if you saw it, but he's like scrambling around and scrambling around and then right at the last second is two defenders about to hit him. He does like this little slide and like the defenders hit each other and they call penalty because he tried to

slide. And then a few plays later, he's like running towards out of bounds and he like slows down

as the defender gets near him and tries to stay in bounds and then like throws himself out of

bounds like he was violently pushed. And as I was watching this, I was like, oh my God, this is rules

lawyering. This is no different than magic.
