On this episode we take a quick look back at our Legendary price prediction and talk about the current state of market prices. (Spoiler, if you want to buy singles, we think now is the time)

We then go through the big OP announcement from FFG!

On the 24th episode of the Cantina Backup Band, we cover a wide array of topics. We got our first piece of actual fan mail with an ultimatum that we had to answer! We talk about a recent showdown tournament, deep dive into some new leaders that have been spoiled that we are extremely excited about and introduce a new segment to the cast called "market watch."

Sorry for the delay!! In my hurry to head out for SCG Richmond I did not get the episode out on Friday. 

We take a look at the current state of the metagame and have a conversation on deck selection. When should you swap decks vs when you stay on current.
