We talk about Kaldheim spoilerz because it’s been like three whole weeks since a new set came out.
Interstitial fodder:
- Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota (The Man Who Feels No Pain) on Netflix is dope as hell
- Yakuza: Like A Dragon for RPG fans who need some fresh spice in an old genre
- Cartoonist Kayfabe
- Quick hits:
- The Best We Could Do
- Schitt’s Creek
Strategy
Entourage segment: Building Moraug, Fury of Akoum
[*Editor’s Note: We were totally wrong about a good chunk of the tech for this segment because Adam & I both missed the key phrase “…if it’s your main phase” in the wording of the card, hence making Sword of the Animist, etc., not trigger as we described it in the show. It’s pretty rare for both of us to cock up this badly, so I’ve left it as-is as a reminder to us to fact check our own work. Listeners take note: we are NOT professionals, as this segment clearly proves.]
Landfall tech in Mono-Red:
- Ghirapur Orrery
- Journeyer’s Kite/ Thaumatic Compass
