Kayiu and Juliet tackle what makes designing for an IP swing or miss, covering Portal: Three Kingdoms and Chikyu: Ruined Future. Along the way, we break down some bad card design habits, some -1/-1 counter mechanics, Dynasty Warriors, a general acclaim for decayed, and a quick introduction to what makes Moxtober great!

Juliet & Riley's Three Kingdom Spectacular is on Oct 1st at https://www.twitch.tv/moonshotnetwork

What could you learn from just a pack? This week we put aside anything we know about AVR and look at what one pack tells us. What are the themes and what does the gameplay look like?

We've got a card to preview for you for Spellslinger's upcoming Helvault Unsealed set! See if you can guess it, then let's think through all the decks and slingers it combos with! Wobbles leads the discussion and makes sure we have all the best info.

This ep is good for newbies to SS as well. That game engine is just different enough from regular MTG that it's informative and interesting to compare cards between them. Definitely some good inspiration here!

Hop on our Discord and share your ideas for Spellslingers decks and cards! https://discord.gg/t88Vpwh
