Episode 11: Shootin' the Shit Feb 13, 2025

Show notes

In a stunning display of journalistic improvisation, Brad and Billy provide our dear listeners with the hard-hitting content they've come to expect from an institution as august and lauded as Duress Crew. In this case, we have a good 0ld fashioned shoot the shit about ban philosophy, listener comments, context on the current state of the PDAP, and speculator bullshit. After a mouth-watering duressipe, Brad yanks Billy away from the Edenic temptation of a survival terrageddon deck tech.

Episode 10: Terrageddon. All of it. Jan 30, 2025

Show notes

Take a seat, gang, this one's a doozy.

Part 1 of this episode features DxC's B-Team of Ben, Brad, and Billy going through every Terrageddon list we can find and doing a mini deck tech on every persuasion available.

Part 2 is a symphony of diplomacy, where the three of us build and agree upon a list to take to Rochester Winter Ball. All three of us play the same 75 to varying success.

Part 3 is a carcast with our two top finishers, Brad (T4) and Nick Pynn (T8 on UNought) chatting with Billy the Undeserving.

Episode 9: The Premodern Data Analysis Project Jan 16, 2025

Show notes

Have you ever wondered how stunningly right DxC has been about everything? And so often? We'll let you in on a little secret: in addition to measuring dicks, we also measure metagames. We're proud to announce that DxC has been busy curating the Premodern Data Analysis Project, a new data publication for the community to complain to each other about. Join Nick, Jay, and Brendan the New Guy while they explain computers to Billy and how they count such big numbers so quickly. Check it out at data.duresscrew.com!

Episode 8: Year in Review with Nick Mayo, part 2 Jan 02, 2025

Show notes

A continuation of Episode 7, we complete the cliffhanger and suss out a potential list for a hypothetical NEPM T32. We also chat about meta shares of the top decks and do props and slops for the year.

Episode 7: Year in Review with Nick Mayo, part 1 Dec 26, 2024

Show notes

Well, glad that's finally over. Brad, Ben, Jay, and Billy finally ran out of things to talk about, so we scraped the bottom of the barrel and asked Nick onto the show. We go over the various things we ruined over the course of the year, the birth of the DxC seasonals, the perverse origins of Hardcast, and our campaign to get Red Elemental Blast banned.

Episode 6: Pooping a Premodern with Jerry Mee Dec 12, 2024

Show notes

Sleeper hit Dan Hall shows up for his first episode! With Billy, we pull Leaving a Legacy host Jerry Mee out of retirement. We chat about Premodern first impressions, building a local scene outside of WotC support, consumer fatigue, and his gramps destroying target artifact or land. It can't be regenerated.

Episode 5: Tin Fins with Nick Balzano (DxC Fall 1st Place) Nov 28, 2024

Show notes

Finally! Back to our regularly scheduled programming. Nick Balzano recently won the DxC Fall event, rocking the socks off of 70 other players to win the damn thing with a deck that'll remind you to pack your crypts next time. Brad and Billy join him to talk about the Dredge Meta Effect, some bullshit LDV math that nobody understands, New England hardcore bands, and turn zero-ing PM final boss Rich Shay.

Episode 4: Between a Roc and a Hardcast with Phil3579 Nov 14, 2024

Show notes

After a good cry from last episode, Hardcast returns to pick Premodern Phil's brain about Survival Roc, but end up learning how to actually assess card choices in toolbox decks. Billy's puny intellect is bested, while Brad has the good sense to soak it all in.

Episode 2: Cephalid-Kor Dichotomy Oct 23, 2024

Show notes

S1E2: Hardcast's first interview ditches Ben so that Billy and Brad can have a pleasant evening's chitchat with ronin Arty Garcia, LC#21, about Queensrÿche, skateboarding, breakfast, his path into Premodern, and his latest pet build: Cephalid Breakfast. Recorded 13 Oct, so there were a few Tings not Considered.
