This Just Got Nacho Cheesier Sep 28, 2021

Show notes

On this episode, Maria and Meghan do a deep dive on Innistrad: Midnight Hunt Draft! Hear their woes about not having success on the ladder – and what their plan is to correct course. First plan of action: dive into the data! Using numbers from 17lands.com, our intrepid hosts try to nail down exactly what color pairs to play (and which to avoid) and if any clues can be gained by the success of various commons by color. It’s science! And science doesn’t lie! PLUS: an incredible chip-themed tangent and a very fancy game of Pick, Lick, or Flick.
