Arsenal Pass Ep75 - The 1st Control Meta?

In the wake of Prism being immortalized, we finally have some data thanks to the recent Nationals to start our analysis. We discuss how this emergent metagame is meeting or diverging from our initial expectations. Things are starting to firm up in the environment and we cover how the major decks have changed and try to predict where they might head next.

Arsenal Pass Ep74 - Into the Mailbag!!

Podcasts don’t exist without listeners. Listeners don’t exist without questions. It makes sense to take some time to answer as many listener questions as we can. This week our Command and Cookout overtakes the entire episode (unlike previous weeks this was the plan all along). We touch a wide variety of topics including most underrated cards, metagame analysis and reads, tier progression and we even approach the contentious concept of tempo.

Arsenal Pass Ep71 - Mind Your Manners

As any game grows, it will experience early growing pains. We’d like to unpack a few of our unspoken rules that help us be consistent and deal with a variety of situations with humility and grace. Sometimes having a plan for how to move through tilt quickly, field salty opponents, and find dignity in a well fought loss is the difference between a bad round and a bad day. The easiest way to keep this community special is to model the behavior we expect and celebrate in others!
