On this episode we are joined by multi-category National Champion Josh Potratz to dive further into a conversation that happened on Discord recently, and it's the conversation that has been happening throughout the community for a while now on how to improve or "fix" the balance of the game.

On this week's episode we welcome Jonathan Gomez to the podcast for the first time as we continue to spoil the community with brand new guests. This is the third of four installments reviewing all of the major rule changes that happened following Nationals in 2021 now that we have had a full season of experience with them. This week's conversation was focused primarily on the change to determing who goes first which is now done via a random method such as a dice roll. In addition to that conversation, we also hear from Jonathan about his experience playing in the recent online tournament where he took first place. Also, the Plus One Intiative is live and the submission form is active.
