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!
