This week we finally reach the end of our first pass on everything new included in the Thunder's Edge expansion! Only about six months to talk about everything. We've been very specific about it to, I think we've saved the best for last. The Firmament is far from the greatest faction but I think what they bring to the table is so fresh that it's just too exciting to ignore. So sit down with Me and Blasto as we wax poetic on what works and what doesn't and remember to keep an open mind, there was a time that factions like Arborec and Yin were considered bad and then as our understanding evolves we realize that they aren't bad, they're just mid. Maybe that will be the case here!

448: Twilight's Fall Genomes and Paradigms Overview
Thursday Mar 19, 2026
Thursday Mar 19, 2026
Our final component overview episode for Twilight's Fall! From here on out it's gonna get weirder and more specific so study up this week with Hunter and Blasto as they sit down again for another absolute barn burner of an overview. Every single Genome and Paradigm is spoken aloud into our microphones. I hope you have been following along with the Twilight's Fall episodes because going forward we're going to be changing how we cover this stuff and it's going to get more specific and complicated. This will all be on the test!

446: Saint of Swords and Sickening Lurch Beginner's Guide
Wednesday Mar 04, 2026
Wednesday Mar 04, 2026
We're closing up our initial look at the Thunder's Edge expansion with our first look at the final two Mahact Kings. Hunter and Alec saved two very solid options for last as the Saint of Swords can hit like a truck full of swords and Lurch is just the most interesting option if you like playing underdog factions that have extremely unique options available to them. Very excited to get into our next era of Twilight's Fall coverage!

443: Coexistence Overview and Rules Questions! (WITH ANSWERS)
Wednesday Feb 11, 2026
Wednesday Feb 11, 2026
You've got questions, we've got answers. This week we've got Andcat back on the show and he has convened with a secret cabal of Rules Lawyers in order to dig deep on one of the big new rules concepts that you need to know in advance of the next big faction guide! This is a weird nitty gritty episode but I feel like it's fascinating if you wanna jump into the muck of new interactions that frequently come up. Consider this episode a preview of the hotly anticipated living rules reference update!

Wednesday Feb 04, 2026
Wednesday Feb 04, 2026
Hunter and Alec are back on the case! Taking on the next two Mahact kings is quite the roller coaster today. Il Na Viroset is a real star of the new mode and I feel confident you'll really dig them but El Nen Janovet is a whole other story....
