Episode 47 - Being Cool in Zion
Welcome to Episode 47! In this episode, Scott, Matt, and Kenny talk about preparing for the ZiFi Invi, with some thoughts on the meta, they're lists that they're prepping with to prepare for the sweaty try-hards (who are, spoiler, themselves), and how they think matchups play out.
They close with a discussion of tournament etiquette, with a specific focus on rules and norms that will be in force at the invitational, but also general takes on how players should behave in various settings.

Episode 46 - Interlude
I apologize! Curtis and I recorded an episode discussing the Batch (which it turns out is the Good Batch), but there was something weird with his audio file and it was too late to rerecord. So accept this short apology and interregnum while we wait for the next episode and the RELEASE OF THE MANDO!!!

Episode 45 - You Can Count On Mama
In this episode, Kenny and Sam talk about the Mama Dooku list. Why is it so strong? What is it trying to do? This is (probably) part one of this discussion, because we did not really talk about meaningful tech against the list (we're working on that), but you will enjoy the discussion.

Episode 44 - Minimizing the Maximizing (or Maximizing the Minimizing)
Whew boy, sorry for that super long title but it was not possible to shorten it. In this episode, Kenny, Scott, and JK talk about different approaches to list-building, with Kenny taking a particular emphasis on how he thinks about list-building around a single unit (Luke, and now Mando).

Episode 43 - Don't Get Beat(down)
SCHOOL IS IN SESSION NERDS! In this episode, Matt and Sam give another great discussion about thinking about damage vs. repositioning vs. a blend of the two in list-building and play style. They talk about understanding your win condition, your opponent's win condition, and how that should affect your strategic decisions in the game. This one is a real gem folks.
