Synopsis
The "Greater Amorphous Card Collection" (created due to the events in Rotation) has been relocated to the Moonbase, where the crew decides to pool money to add several boxes of Theros packs to it. They spend a day in the Moonbase, cracking packs, eating pizza, and discussing the cards. Graham is annoyed by the rest of the crew's lack of knowledge of the mythology behind the set's flavor. When James wonders which of the five gods' weapons is the best, the crew attempts to organize a showdown with the closest real-life approximations; unfortunately, except for a real working bow and arrow that Cam brings in to represent the Bow of Nylea, these approximations are all nonthreatening household items. Meanwhile, Alex swipes every copy of the common "Messenger's Speed" that the crew opens and pastes them all to a pair of pants, thus creating "Pants Pants" (Messenger's Speed is a creature enchantment, which are often referred to as "pants").
