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.

Kurnoth's Canadian Herald - 185

Here at WTH we love a dark horse story, and though the player wasn't a dark horse, his warband choice was.  We talk to G who was responsible for one of the more intriguing storylines at worlds- with his brilliant run with Kurnoth's Heralds.  Phil and Davy interview about his thoughts about the warband and its performance.

Success on Draft - 183

We try our hand at the new hottest thing in tabletop gaming that is definitely real and not something we just made up.  The gang tries a fantasy draft for performance at Worlds, perhaps a useful framework for discussing what's strong and what we think we might see there!  Listen as we make dubious choices throughout!
