3/22/2022
It's our first week on our new biweekly format and we're still getting the hang of things. Luckily, we didn't have to find something to talk about. WotC waltzed in and vomited a big news article onto our new biweekly rug. So, now we have to clean it up or, at least, discuss and complain about it. ....that rug really tied the room together.

We talk a little about the new mechanics for this set and then we start looking the cards over and talking about all the ones that interest us. With this big a topic, not to mention cramming in another topic also, it's a long episode. So. buckle up and...

Midnight Hunt Metagame

10/20/2021
