Juliet and Kayiu compare and contrast the different nautical and underwater sets, both seen in the Summer Set Spotlight and beyond. They ask "What does it mean to be young near the shore?" and whether there's a satisfying or swashbuckling way to rekindle one's Timmy spirit as a designer, and discuss some fun facts about otters and different ideas for swimming mechanics in Magic.

Interested in stickers and "legacy"-style cubes? Brandon comes on the pod hot off back-to-back plays of his Chaos Cube! Phyrexian Mana, extra keywords, color shifting and more are all possible.
