Combo decks have existed in Flesh and Blood since the earliest days - but due to the nature of turn cycles and pitch stacks they are a little harder to pin down. What’s the difference between a combo deck and a deck with combo elements? How does one build a strong combo deck from scratch? This week we cover how to identify, play, and build combo decks effectively.

Our Classic Constructed review continues this week, covering the remaining six classes with the exacting lens that you expect from Arsenal Pass. Was Guardian neglected apart from PVE implications? How much better does Wizard get? Does Assassin have the tools to live up to the hype?

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?!
