476: The Ultimate Guide to THE EMPYREAN Sep 30, 2026

Show notes

Hunter and Blasto are back with your next Ultimate guide. This one is a true pleasure since we're talking about the EMPYREAN. This faction happens to be one of my favorites and the same is true of Blasto so I feel like this is a special guide that we got both cohosts on the same page about the fun factor with this particular faction. Give it a listen and you too will be ready to stand awkwardly in the corner of the room just OBSERVING.

470: Every Action Card Ranked! Part 2 (E-H) Aug 19, 2026

Show notes

Looks like we've gone right back into the meat! Today we're getting back into the Action Card deck and I gotta say this series is looking to be our first 8 part series. I promise I will try to edit it into one supercut whenever we finish because this is shaping up to be an absolutely GUARGANTUAN topic that our panel is fulling giving our full attention to. Seriously hats off to these guys: Me, Jadiim, and Blasto. These are probably best listened to in order but if you like to attack these based on starting letter I see you!
