Send us a text The boys gather 'round once more to chew the SWU fat! Ian is freshly back from a business trip to Nashville, Trey is headed to Aggieland for football, and Wes is headed out shortly to cover a PQ in Lubbock.

Send us a text Ian, Wes, and Trey gather 'round once again! Fresh off of the Set 5 Dallas (Limited Format) Planetary Qualifier, everyone recounts their experiences and discusses the overall format. It was a truly fantastic event, and everyone is stoked to do it all over again in Set 6. The big news of the week, of course, is that Force Throw finally gets the axe (and Wes' final pre-Galactic Championship prediction comes true). What comes next for the meta, and what Sec...

Send us a text As we approach the halfway point of the Legends of the Force meta, the boys gather 'round again to talk all things SWU. We briefly recap a local draft - Ian drafted yellow! - spend a bit of time talking about the recent announcements for Organized Play promos available to earn at Season 1 Sectors and Regionals, as well as touch upon the now-spoiled spotlight decks for the next set. Ian shares some concerns he has about Twin Suns and singles pricing, and everyone loo...

Send us a text As the boys gather around to review their homework assignment from last stream, it turns out that the conversation - or, really, Trey's long rant - about cunning aspect cards in Legends of the Force isn't completely played out. Dates for the Set 5 sector qualifiers and regional championships have been announced, and Trey has another bone to pick with the designers... this time over leader design. Support the show

Send us a text The boys reconvene fresh from the afterglow of attending the first ever Galactic Championships in Las Vegas, and boy does Ian have an epic story to tell. Wes already told his over on his YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezjAvvev1Fg), and Trey has thoughts about the streaming presentation. After catching up, Trey grades Ian and Wes' homework from last episode, and everyone looks ahead to limited PQs and what the sealed/draft environment for Legends of...

Send us a text As another episode rolls around, Trey and Ian are about to head out the door for some fantastic vacations. Before they do, however, the boys gather 'round to talk about a local Store Showdown and the recent victory of a true hard control deck at the Austin PQ. Hard control is not the most well-loved play style in the game, but deciphering its ins and outs feels crucial to improving as both a player and a deck builder. Support the show

Send us a text Episode 8 is a tad late due to some easily preventable technical stupidity on Wes' part. =) Here in take two of the episode, the boys get together to briefly recap the recent Planetary Qualifier here in Houston, including some post-match analysis for Ian's turn on the stream. Some discussion of when to scoop (concede) to your opponent and a bit of good-natured ribbing ensues, followed by a brief review of the recently revealed Legends of the Force full spoiler! Supp...

Send us a text With the meta opened up a bit due to FFG cancelling Jango, the creative juices have been flowing! The boys talk about what they've been building and trying of late, including a couple of throwback leaders from Set 1 that don't get a lot of love in the modern game.
