Hey, this is Steven A. Smith from No Mercy, festivals, football, flannels.

Some say fall is their favorite time of year.

And this fall, there are now updated COVID-19 booster shots designed to help protect against COVID-19 variants.

If you've had your primary series, schedule an updated COVID-19 booster shot appointment

as soon as you're eligible. And don't forget to enjoy the foliage sponsored by Pfizer and Biontech.

Greetings humans, you have entered the commons. Your destination for all aspects of Elder Dragon Highlander. Enjoy your stay.

So glad we almost made it. So sad they had to fade it. Everybody wants to rule the world.

Well, that's if they read the episode title and didn't just blindly click because they were so excited to listen to the commons on podcasts featuring me.

One of your hosts, Jimmy Wong. How's it? It's Josh Lee Quye.

We're in wacky indeed. We're talking about rules, interactions, and we've had a lot of debate around the office because a lot of people didn't realize a lot of things we're about to say are actually true.

Yeah, magic is by many measurements the most complex game ever created. Yep.

And you can play it for years and years and still come across sort of niche rules, interactions that you don't know about.

Yeah, or that you get wrong. I mean, Jimmy and I play all the time. We do this for a living and all the time stuff comes up and games were like, I think it's this.

And then you do a research. Nope. I'm wrong.

And that's why you're glad you have a friend at the table or someone nearby.

Or the internet, Mr. Judge, Mr. Internet, Mr. Prisoner, that's spent more time looking at this. What happens?

Yep. So often though, knowing these weird sort of fringe cases can give you lines or sequences to victory in a game that you wouldn't be able to find if you didn't know about them.

So today we're talking about the weirdest and wackiest MTG rules and interactions.

And they're playing a fun too. There's a lot of people out there. I know who you are and you know who you are too. That's it. There go. This is going to be great when I do this.

No one's going to know. I got to say, I'm sure you've had this happen to you, Jimmy, where when we started this topic, I was a little bit if he was like, is there enough stuff there?

Is it going to be interesting? And then by the time the outlines are getting done, I'm like, I'm excited to record this episode. This stuff is all really cool.

We got five full pages of rules and no, six of them actually. There's a tons of weird and wacky rules. But before we get into it, we got to talk about our sponsors.
