On this week's episode, we sit down with Chad (aka Cthetree) and discuss adapting to the new format that has been created with the new rule limiting territory class enhancements to one per turn. Much of this discussion is based off a recent article Chad posted on Land of Redemption discussing his original deck "The Soul Surfer". We also touch on recent content that has come out since our last episode and look forward to a couple of State tournaments happening this upcoming weekend.
