All the Small Things (S01E29)

May 3, 2021

What is the best two-cost card in the modern meta? We put forward our suggestions, apart from the crew members who decide to talk about their favourites instead.

Behind the Mask (S01E28)

April 19, 2021

We continue our series on energy types by focusing on masks: what defines them, which ones buck the trend, and which is the maskiest mask of all? Which of us sees magic as a kind of science? Who enjoys watching his opponents suffer? And who shows his frustration with HXG and its ilk?

The Card Cheat (S01E27)

April 5, 2021

James reveals the painful reasons behind our unexpected hiatus before we delve into some recent tournament chat and pick out some interesting combos. And with a Silver Age format confirmed for Dice Masters’ stablemate HeroClix, we mull over how that could be introduced into our game and what older cards might finally be given the chance to shine.
