We are back a little earlier than normal because of summer vacation...but we had a jam packed show all the same. Sona was back to lend a hand as we take how to brew up your very own janky deck. We learn that Lux likes to grief players out of the game and that Bruce is deep down an MTG hipster and not a jank player. We also take the time to look over Conspiracy: Take the Crown and Sona shares an ultra budget Tetzuko Umezawa deck that is a mere $25!! Come and check us out!
Giveaway Winners: Congrats to John Davis (Ikoria Booster) and Vincent Luo (Child of Alara) who are our winners.

Lux was under the weather so friend of the show Chris stepped in admirably. We talked the Rules Change to death triggers in Commander, we went over previews for Core Set 2021, looked at Oath of the Gatewatch and Bruce shared his General Tazri brew. The show was jam packed.
We also wanted to include the following statement about the many #BlackLivesMatter protests going on in the United States:
On May 25th, 2020 George Floyd died while in the custody of the Minneapolis Police Department. His death has sparked 2 weeks of protest across the United States, and the movement is spreading. We here at the Epic Experiment Podcast would like to express our support for the peaceful protesters that are out in the streets of almost every major city demonstrating that Black Lives Matter. We support the protestors that continue to exercise their right of assembly as they seek to make meaningful change. Tonight we are including a number of links in our show notes for links to a number of organizations that people can follow and connect with should they wish to get more involved. These are difficult times, and we are just one small voice, but we seek to do our part to help and say publicly that we stand behind the protesters because black lives do matter. Thank you.
