After a few weeks of Uprising limited, Hayden and Brendan have enough reps with Uprising to begin to paint a picture of the upcoming Classic Constructed metagame. We provide in depth looks for all three new heroes as well as examining the potential hits and misses the new additions can provide to the existing lineup. We close the podcast with a discussion of how we approach our first steps of deckbuilding and adjusting to the influx of new cards.
