The Salt Mine Episode 11: GP Louisville Round-Up feat. Julian Knab

Download Link

A stray comment on Twitter about Show and Tell has lead to the eminent Julian Knab joining The Salt Mine for this very special episode! We concentrate on wrapping up the events, decks and lack of coverage at GP Louisville and where the metagame and coverage will be going in future. We also speak about a lot of other things – some Aether Revolt cards, Julian’s JKEternal event, our Guf Ballarat experience and the future of Magic Online.

Enjoy!
