It's Alive and/or Electric! - 194

Davy pulls in Madtown's resident mad scientist Jacob Wellner for a chat about The Exiled Dead.  The dentist and his loyal horde of electro zombies present a truly different way to go about playing the game.  The chat covers a deep dive into the warband itself and all the prospective pairings.

Still the Greatest (Yes, yes!) - 193

Davy talks to Brandon who took the Cherokee Open down with Spiteclaw's Swarm.  We use this as an opportunity to deep dive what may now be the premier Take and Hold warband.  Listen to Brandon's take on the warband and his games with the revamped OG Skaven warband.

The Tithe Comes Due - 192

Phil and Davy run through the new Rivals deck Nexus of Power, and the new warband Thanatek's Tithe.  Will they shake up a meta already roiled from the latest balance update?  Or will they be lost

Balance Blitz - 191

Skyler, Brian, and Davy hop on to discuss the full spread of buffs, nerfs and everything in between doled out by GW this week.  Plenty of warband changes and couple plot cards receiving some big tweaks.  What does it all mean?

Wheel! Of! Warbands! - 189

We reach back to a fun twist that Zach used for the game back in first edition.  Randomly generate a warband and randomly generate a deck pairing.  Phil and Davy get put through the ringer with exactly those randomly generated pairings as performed by Zach and Skyler.  Listen for the deck building thought processes and our experiences playing with them.

On Your Own Turf - 188

Phil and Davy aren't talking about the hottest deck this week.  Instead, we're taking a look at set that might be flying under the radar.  Or is it?  We talk our experiences running Hunting Grounds, what we've learned, what warbands go well with it, and what it might pair with.
