The World Championships are right around the corner and it's a great time to build of the momentum we established in last week's episode.

Brendan is back...and in Blitz, no less! Blitz has been a hot topic with it being a premier format at the upcoming World Championships. The Dallas Battle Hardened Blitz events gave us a our first peek into the metagame post bannings. We've distilled our thoughts on the current kings of the format and share our metagame impressions and predictions. We dissect some of the quantitative theory that contributed to Brendan's winning list!

On the pod this week Hayden and Brendan dive right into the October Ban and Suspended update. With a shake up in Blitz in coming there is a lot to discuss there. But what about Classic Constructed? Is the Pulse ban a game changer, or will the meta look quite similar when all things are said and done? The boys take a look at the State of the Meta. Bonus: How does Brendan feel about his beloved class getting taken to with a hammer in Blitz?!

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.

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.
