We start off by telling a story from last week's recording and giving a couple shoutouts before getting into the news of the week and dropping the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT.

Episode 25: Jeshua, the Limited

On this episode, Brad joins us as we discuss a new rule change that recently came down from the Elder team to stop broken loops of interactions and combo decks that exploit them. We will talk about the details of this change and give our thoughts on how it affects the current "Widow" combo and also "The First" combo, in addition to discussing its impact on the long term future of the game. We also have a few new spoilers from both the new starter decks and phase 2 of Gospel of Christ that have come out that we discuss and review. As always, thanks for listening!

Episode 24: Maintaining Perspective

On this episode, we welcome back John Earley to discuss a loaded news cycle within the world of Redemption. We've got new details about Nationals, Promos, GoC Phase 1 becoming legal and a wealth of new content to go over. In addition, there was a ton of new spoilers dropped this week from both Israel's Deliverance starter decks and Gospel of Christ Phase 2. After discussing all of this, we squeezed in a conversation on how to maintain perspective when the game becomes frustrating, which can be more common when a "broken" combo is in the field. Lots of good information on ways to have fun when you feel the stress of the game building up. Thanks for listening!

Episode 22: Deckbuilding 101

Welcome to Deckbuilding 101. On this week's episode, Rob Smith joins us again as we talk about basic deckbuilding principles that can help newcomers be better equipped when it comes to constructing decks for competitive play. We start from the ground up and talk about how we approach crafting a deck and where we start the process. We provide context for all the key terms and use some of our own deck examples to show how you can approach the deckbuilding thought process to ensure your deck is prepared to face the competition in a competitive space. I was inspired to put this together due to the number of newer players that we have within our community and wanted to provide a basic foundation for them to have a better idea of how to approach this vital part of the game. 

Episode 21: Revisiting Playgroup Development

On this week's episode, we revisit our conversation regarding playgroup development with Chris Fachman. After the recording of our first conversation on the topic, Chris received some inquiries and wanted to follow up and offer a few more ideas and suggestions that he gathered from talking with other successful playgroup leaders. The ideas and tips Chris got from his conversations with other leaders are solid ways to increase potential in the early stages of starting a playgroup but also give some ideas on developing your playgroup once you have some interested players. 

Episode 20: Decking Out Turn One... Seems Good

On this week's episode, we sat down with Brad Gaillard and Rob Smith to discuss the state of the game as it relates to two new combos that have come to light in the past couple weeks. We talk about these combos and how they work and discuss their implications on the meta this coming season if they are left intact by leadership. We may have discovered the sound effects pad and had some fun with it too. Check it out and let us know your thoughts on these combos and if you think they should be dealt with by leadership.
