This week William, Mark, and Clay are joined by Tom from MTGRadio to discuss the second set from the Theros block, Born of the Gods!

We go over the pros and cons of the set, cards from it we still see played a year after it’s release, and talk about Tiny Leader! (That last part got talked about so much a good chunk of it had to be cut for future dangly bit episodes)
