I'm Seth probably better known as Saffron Olive and we have the full crew here this week.

Kicking things off with the owner of of MTG Goldfish, Richard.

How are you this fine Monday, Richard?

Good morning, Seth.

Doing a lot of Strickshaven draft.

I needed the crim here.

I needed the half blonde, half black because I'm all silver quill now, baby.

You showed me your set, and that is not an exaggeration. Like, literally, like, half the time you're drafting silver quill, but you're crushing it with silver quill, and I'm excited to hear your secrets, Richard, because I have not had any luck drafting silver quill. But that's one of our topics for day. We're going to be talking some secrets that even limited, but we also have another co-host in CRIM. How are you doing today, Crem? Good morning. I'm pretty excited. Is this time agnostic? I'm on the eve of heading out for Vegas, so really excited. Yeah, it is almost magic on Vegas, of course. Oh, that's Seth Crim. Remember the chaffstick. Every year we go. Every year we're like, oh, let's buy this $10 chapsie from the hotel because we forgot. Good memory. Oh, my God. Yes. Okay. I got to go get that. That little convenience stores made so much money off of us. Yeah, they got free money. Like, they got like so much free money from us.

Oh, the prices are insane too. My God, that little convenience store in the hotel. Oh, it's so ridiculously expensive. But if you are in Vegas, you should come and say hello to us. We're going to be a MagicCon Vegas all weekend. We got a couple of meet and greets at Friday.

Because I got to know how you were crushing it with silver quill in this format. Because my impression of this format is it's like a five-color soup kind of format. You just draft all the colors. You draft all the fixing. Try to avoid drafting creatures because creatures kind of suck. And then you, you know, you win a lot of games. But Richard, I know

Orzov or Silver Quill is like super creature heavy. What are you doing? What am I doing wrong,

Richard? How does it even work? Have you not been run over by a white deck?

Play your stupid soup piles. That does happen sometimes for the record i i think

this format sucks oh okay so remember like every format i'm like oh you know like let's say like edge

i'm like oh you know i've been losing a lot and you know i don't like it you know it just sucks

you know i'm actually crushing this format i think it's terrible So it's not just when I lose. I think it sucks. But because I'm crushing it, I don't feel like the gem drain. So I still like put up with it. I'm like, yeah, I guess I'll go play. But I'm like, hey, I'm like, why am I doing this? But anyway, it is Dragon Storm, electric Boogaloo, Seth.
