• Commander 2020 decks likely to be delayed beyond May 15.
• “Webcam Commander” is actually pretty good.
  • Here’s what Mark uses:
    • NDI HX Camera application (It’s a little finicky, but it’s high-quality + free, w/ no ads)
    • And here’s our Whereby room: https://whereby.com/commandercast

Interstitial fodder: 

• Pie, round 2
  • Pie Crust Weight Chain  – I don’t like that this exists.
• Marvel 2099 was always silly.
