301 - The Flavor Gems of Universes Beyond: Assassin's Creed Jul 01, 2024

Show notes

We have our resident Assassin's Creed expert, Jay Annelli, here to tell us all about the flavor gems of the Universes Beyond: Assassin's Creed set! Who better to tell us the ins and outs of this special booster release than a loremaster who worked on the creative text team for the set and also has a long, documented history as a sociopathic murderer. My lawyers are telling me that I cannot call Jay a sociopathic murderer. I think I heard someone jumping into a haystack outside my house? I should stand on the roof to investigate.
