    355: Super Embers of Muaat Guide

    355: Super Embers of Muaat Guide

    It's a Muaat Guide! Embers of Muaat is one of those factions that some people in the community insist is "actually really good." I haven't been convinced, but they do have tools that can FEEL good if everything else went right. What does it take to get this faction from their bad start and to a game that feels good?

    354: Arcs Leaders - Upstart, Rebel, and Overseer

    354: Arcs Leaders - Upstart, Rebel, and Overseer

    More Arcs! And this time, we've got Hunter around. He's been thinking about the Overseer for months now and is ready to get it all off of his chest. Meanwhile, EJ and Matt are back, this time with the Upstart and Rebel. It's a mix of Leaders that all seem to want to strike very early in different ways which honestly made it incredibly difficult to play them against each other so many times! Some games of Arcs are all about chapter 5 and it turns our some games the whole game gets played in the first two chapters and the rest of the time you're just living with your mistakes...

    352: Super The Winnu Guide

    Sit your butts down and get ready to be schooled in the classroom by your god-tier Winnu player: THE MATT MARTENS. Jk Winnu is bad and we'll cover in depth the why and the how. There is a lot of useful information here for those of you that feel the determination to pilot them regardless of their ineptitude. It's one of our shorter super guides but it also makes a strong case so I hope you enjoy it!

    351: Finals from a Champion's Perspective

    351: Finals from a Champion's Perspective

    We've got one more episode about the big Championship match we had back on May 4th. When the Finals finish, everyone involved is always so exhausted that it's impossible to squeeze in any post-game report or interview. So instead, we decided to wait a week and take a full hour to hang out with this year's winner! See, good things come to those who wait.

    350: 2024 Tournament Finals Recap

    350: 2024 Tournament Finals Recap

    In this episode we talk about the Finals of the SCPT 2024 Twillight Imperium tournament. THERE ARE SPOILERS. So don't listen if you don't want the outcome of the tournament spoiled. We also talk generally about how the tournament went and what we see as the future of our events. It's a bit of a beach episode, but one that could have future consequences.

After another player’s ship uses Sustain Damage to cancel a hit produced by your units or abilities, destroy that ship.

hero of the wild ,

I liked the part where they talked about dinosaurs and Danny Devito

Hunter doesn’t even hunt or at least never has claimed to have hunted. There’s a surprising lack of political statements which can be misleading with the title of the podcast. A bit too much basamlic and a little overcooked. They once insulted my entire bloodline. Blue tech is never discussed despite being the current meta. They hate green tech. They love green tech way to much it’s definitely not that good.
Would recommend
