Aaron proposes a new card legality schedule for products like the Mega Gengar and Mega Diancie battle decks, Frontier Fundamentals makes its triumphant return, and the guys discuss the impact of the results of the Lille Regional Championship as we head into Halloween weekend with Brisbane and Gdansk directly ahead.

Note: On spotify we had an issue with our episode from last week. We're currently trying to get it reestablished but if you want to go back and listen to it, it is still live on both Apple Podcast and over on the show's Youtube channel.

Aaron and John jump into the past with the reintroduction of the Time Capsule segment reviewing a deck that had a similar introduction to the game as Tord's Mega Absol Box deck.

Apologies for audio only this week. Had some technical difficulties (that you may have heard mentioned in the episode)! Video will be back next week hopefully.
