What the Hex?!

Welcome to Garden-talk with your hosts Phil and Brian.  They talk about how to plant and harvest responsibly, respecting the seven traditional cycles of gardening, including but not limited to Withering, Despair, and Gnarly Uses for Internal Organs.

Oooo wah-ah-ah-ah

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.

I must confess my destiny's manifest

 

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.

Holy cow did a lot of stuff happen for Underworlds in 2025.  The gang reflects on everything we saw.  Come with us down memory lane as we highlight some of our faves, and maybe get on the gripe train about a few pet peeves too.

All you ever wanted/ Is it getting away

 

By listener request:  Zach and Phil talk deck building. We visited this topic in Ep 129, but that was one edition and almost two years ago!  Zach and Phil break down general considerations

He's hiding something from the rest of us

 

 

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.

I was hunting for answers down in the dark When suddenly I had a better thought

 

Phil, Brian, and Davy talk about what we learned at Worlds- what we got right, what we got wrong, how comprehensive the Polish victory was and how the future might be now, old man.  Plus, Fantasy Draft results!

I may be crazy

Have ourselves a good time

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!
