SeanceHappy Halloween Everyone!

In this very special episode, we’re diving into the Magic community’s spookiest mystery, the Séance Buyout. Two years ago, reddit user jobs141910 created a post giving users a bounty to purchase and destroy as many copies of Séance as possible.

Then, about a year ago, the same mysterious user offered a reward of $40k worth of bitcoins to whoever pilots a Séance deck to prominence on the Pro Tour.

Joining us today, MTG finance expert Jason Alt joins us to enlighten us on the mystery that is Séance guy.

Then, pro player and renowned deck builder, Zac Elsik talks to us about how to brew up a competent Séance deck.

Then our third guest, joining us from deep in the internet, Séance Guy jobs141910 himself is joining us to answer our burning questions!

I hope you enjoy my interviews with Jason Alt, Zac Elisk, and reddit user jobs141910.
