On this week's episode, Brad returns to talk about his experience in the Lackey Grand Prix where he came in second. We also talk about GoC cards now that we have them in hand and discuss some first impressions after looking over the real thing. We hand picked a few early favorites to discuss before going down the wormhole of the new lost soul, Undesirables. This is a card that is sure to make an impact in competitive play and we discuss some first thoughts of how we may play with it and around it if our opponent has it in play. More or less, this episode is just a couple buddies hanging out and talking Redemption and GoC.

Tuesday Jan 25, 2022
Tuesday Jan 25, 2022
On this week's episode, we share a conversation that we previously recorded with Chris Fachman on sales and trade etiquette within the community and what we believe the standards are. I know the topic seems straightforward, but if we are going to be going into deals with certain expectations or standards, then we should do our part as a community to make those standards known and as accessible as possible, so we wanted to use the platform we've created with the podcast to put those on record. In this episode, I also confess to something that I have held to myself for far too long. Jump in and give it a listen!
