Episode 208 – Eldraine Limited Primer Sep 26, 2019

Show notes

This week we’re taking a look at the archetypes in Throne of Eldraine – the payoffs, the enablers, and the color combinations they work best in! Of course we haven’t played any games yet, but hopefully this episode will give you a good starting point for your first few drafts of the format.

Be warned, there’s some heavy nonsense for the first 15 minutes – skip ahead if you want to get straight to the main topic!

Episode 205 – Going on an Adventure Sep 05, 2019

This week we’re talking about the new mechanics from Throne of Eldraine and some cards we think are exciting from the spoiler so far.
