    Episode 81 - Dealing With a Wretched Hive

    Welcome to Episode 81! This episode is all about competitive tournament etiquette, with a specific focus on how to handle what might be termed a little-too-opportunistic-play on the part of your opponent (specifically, opponents changing dice, mis-measuring, slow-playing, or otherwise riding that gray line of what is acceptable). It's a great episode in time for Adepticon, and we wish all of the success in the world to those attending Worlds. Join the Slack!

    Episode 80 - Power Doesn't Panic

    Welcome to Episode 80 of Zion's Finest! First off, we highly encourage you to watch this video on Youtube. JK prepared a beautiful set of slides and you will heartily enjoy the visual feast that has been prepared. In this episode, JK and Sam give a splash-ripple-thud analysis of the Cassian Andor box. How do these Rebels fit in the current meta? What do they change? Are they waiting for more pieces?! ALL THAT AND MORE WILL BE DISCUSSED! Join the Slack! You can then fill out the Google Form and get a promo (just @Kenny when you're there). WE LOVE YOU ALL!

    Episode 79 - The Turning Point

    Welcome to Episode 79! We are releasing this episode on both audio platforms and Youtube. Feel free to enjoy it in whatever way you see fit but know that JK prepared some beautiful slides for you should you choose to consume content with your eyeballs. This is a bonus episode that we are releasing to discuss Ahsoka Fulcrum and Vader-3. We meant for this to be shorter, but of course we couldn't shut our yaps. Forgive the incongruities; we meant to record and release this baby quickly for your enjoyment. We love you all! Come talk about the recent spoilers on the Slack!

    Episode 78 - The Agency of Design

    Welcome to Episode 78! Everyone once in a while, we record and release something really special on ZiFi, and it generally involves Sammy Sweets talking about something that has been stuck in his brain. This is one for the ages. Sammy and Matt get together to talk about design, agency, and a myriad other aspects of gaming that you will find interesting on both abstract and instantiated levels. They talk about how and why certain Shatterpoint units feel strong, what comes up short, and offer different frames for analyzing and thinking through units and lists. You will love it. Fill out the Google Form if you want to get a copy of the Kanan Iden promo (which is the best we have done so far, you will love it). All you gotta do is be on the Slack. Link to join is here. We love you!

    Episode 77 - Bring a Torch, Sean, Kyle (Torchlight GT)

    Hello and welcome to Episode 77! In this episode, Sean and Kyle talk about their 4-1 runs at the Torchlight GT that happened in Ontario, Canada last month. Rather than giving play-by-plays, they focus on matchups and thoughts regarding how lists performed against each other. It's a part of our drive to move away from minute descriptions of games to talk more about how lists are and should be performing. It's a great discussion and Sean and Kyle are as always full of incredible insights. Check out Kyle's tablebound.ca. The website and products offered are absolutely phenomenal and you could not be supporting a better business. Check out the Tablebound Open, which will be an absolutely amazing event with tons of swag and prize support. It happens over May 3-4. Also check out the Battle for the Breath, a great charity tournament happening in June. For people wanting the dual-sided Kanan / Iden promo, make sure to join the Slack and then fill out the Google Form.

    Episode 76 - Tim-Tam Flavored Meta Musings

    Welcome to Episode 76! In this episode, Kenny and Sammy talk about the recent CanCon tournament that happened in Australia and give some meta observations. They talk about the seeming mismatch between Iden's swiss WR and her power level. Listen to Luke and Tobias on the Red Mandos episode give a summary of the event. In classic Red Mando style, it takes them four days to get through the discussion. Join the Slack and tell us how wrong we are about the meta! We love being told we are wrong!!!

    Episode 75 - These Matchups Ain't What They Used to Be (LVO Episode)

    Welcome to Episode 75! In this episode, Scott and Kenny discuss the LVO tournament, with a particular focus on more high-level analysis of the matchups from their run through the tournament. There is less of a focus on play-by-play analysis (as in, we tried to avoid it entirely), and more a discussion on how their lists (Iden Moff and Kanan Hera) played into the respective field. They close with a discussion on matchups generally, and why Iden feels so strong right now. Scott and Kenny took first and second respectively at the tournament, so at least you know you are not getting the worst advice from ZiFi ... we normally give pretty bad advice. We love you all!
