This week we're reviewing our Housecleaning challenge submissions. It's time to fix all the little problems with Castmire! Every room will be sparkling by the time you finish listening.

Next Week's Challenge:

DC 48 - "Who Could Have Done This" - Design a flavorful or trope-y Murder Mystery card, which depicts neither the act of murder nor the murderer as the sole subject of the card. The main criteria of the challenge is the connection between the mechanics and the ability for the reader to recognize something familiar in the story of the card, even without knowing Castmire specifically.

We've got another dozen design submissions to discuss this week, this time centered around the Green White theme of a group of creatures with different types!

Next Week's Challenge:

DC 47 - "Housecleaning" - Suggest a change to a card or set of cards in the Castmire set file. This is a change to clean up name, creature type, size, or other things that are out of date or out of sync. Or perhaps some flavor is off, or there are too many cards of a certain mana cost or effect.
