That episode was so weird as a kid. Back then I didn't even know what a Jew was and 2/3 of the episode didn't make sense. I couldn't understand why Krusty's father would get so mad. Just because he wanted to be a clown? When the father said he never wanted to see Krusty again, did that mean that he threw out his 10-year old child to fend on his own?

Is it really that easy to fool EDH general? Aren't mtg players supposed to be smart?
