Tavern Brawl Team Composition Predictions and Analysis
The crew kicks things off with a WWYD that spotlights a fundamental concept called deck halving – a crucial skill for success at the top tiers of play.Next up, they make good on their promise to predict the total number of each class represented in the Tavern Brawl. And since they can’t resist a little friendly competition, it’s a full-on contest to see who’s the most accurate! From there, Filtrophobe leads a discussion breaking down the key team archetypes as he sees them, with plenty of detours and debates along the way about overall composition trends. Finally, the gang digs into some spicy Community Round-up drama before wrapping things up with the usual Taps and Scraps.Thanks so much for listening!
