All Things Contested Realm – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Greetings fellow witches, wizards, warlocks, and everything in between! This Episode is a very special and exciting one, as it celebrates the 1 Year Anniversary of the Podcast! 1 year ago this month the very first Episode was published, and in this Episode we are doing a little something different to celebrate that. Join us and a handful of guests in this "live" recording of Episode 21, where I go back through the past year of the Podcast, touching on many of the challenges, achievements, and fun moments we had, as well as discuss the current and future projects and plans for the Podcast, all the while having surprise guests pop on to chat, share fond memories, or discuss their favorite Podcast moments and Episodes. While this Episode breaks away from the normal format, it was a very fun one to record, so I hope you all have fun with it. Enjoy!

Greetings fellow witches, wizards, warlocks, and everything in between! In this episode I interview Ron from the Sorcery Social Club, the organization that brought us the Courtesan Cup as well as the numerous qualifiers that led up to it. We discuss a lot of the behind the scenes stuff that happened during the Qualifiers and Cup weekend; the good, the bad, and the unexpected. Ron shares his insights with us as to what all goes into putting together a large Grand Prix-style competitive tournament event, and his take on the future of competitive Sorcery events, and Sorcery as a whole. Enjoy!

Greetings fellow witches, wizards, warlocks, and everything in between! In this episode we analyze the Beta Precon decks and look at what cards they each come with out of the box, which cards are considerations for keeping or removing from the decks for more synergy, and what upgrade options we have for each deck to fit within a $20 USD budget as well as a $100 USD budget in order to give them a more competitive edge. Most prices are taken from TCGplayer averages at the time it was recorded, some were taken from Card Dig as well, so prices may change by the time you listen to this episode. Either way, hopefully this episode will give you an idea and a foundation of how we can upgrade these decks for more synergy and bigger power plays. Good luck brewing!

Greetings fellow witches, wizards, warlocks, and everything in between! In this episode, being the first episode of October, we will be looking at how to build a very cool, very spooky spirit deck. Spirits are a very powerful minion type, and if built properly this archetype can be a very fun and powerful deck build. We will be covering the Avatars and potential element options to build around, discussing the handful of key cards that make up the essential core of this archetype, as well as looking at various other optional cards to include depending on how you may want to go about building on your deck's key strategies.

If you want to look at a couple of my own personal Spirit decks that I've built, you can check them out here:
