We have results, data, and a sponsor. While additional data came to light after the recording session, that doesn't stop our lively discussion for the metagame this week. Fatigue as a strategy, what the different levels are in the current results and deep dive on all of the decks that keep showing up on the updating living legend list.

Prism has entered the chat - and we have a lot to say. We discuss draft strategy, how Kayo serves as an efficient gatekeeper, why Bravo is ever present and why aggressive styles might be struggling to find a hero to rally around. This metagame continues to twist and turn - so Hayden and Brendan will continue to tell "it like it is" for this Classic Constructed format.

This week, we sit down with Lead Game Developer Bryan Gottlieb to discuss everything from the current state and lean of FAB, entry points for new players and rewarding invested players, and balancing everyone's experience to raise all the boats across both casual and competitive environments. While we speak most of the time on Heavy Hitters, and we couldn't resist discussing Brute, there's something for everyone in Bryan's articulate insights.

Punting is a problem that plagues more than sports aficionados. While not every situation is a clear punt, eliminating punts from your game is one of the best ways to increase your wins and start focusing on improving your macro decisions. We get vulnerable this week, sharing some of our punts, analyzing why they happened and the growth and learnings that followed.

In our first pod of 2024 we discuss how Rhinar WILL win a Pro Tour and cover some initial thoughts on Heavy Hitters limited. Hopefully, we bury the great-axe on the PTI system and our commentary on invites that can be gifted in exchange for favors (or dollar-bucks). We have to beat our chests around one of our favorite (non-Kano) heroes. Now that we have more of the picture of heavy hitters we're also ready to discuss some early impressions on limited.
