We also had a twitter storm after Aaron Forsythe (legally) cast Cone of Flame in a Standard match, surprising a lot of people.

And Pete looks at options for handling bulk cards - all just a click away.

To wrap things up I briefly discuss the current metagame, update my Dead Dog list, and give the answer to the latest "You Make the Play."
