Cody writes a love letter to second masters. When are second masters good, when are they bad? How do you write a good second master list? How do you beat two master lists? What second masters are two strong at the moment?

Cody and Maniacal Cackle sit down to discuss the Jokers. How do you write lists to mitigate the effect of jokers? How do you play into the big swings that they cause? How do you develop plans for when they come at the worst time?
