In this bonus episode of Card Talk, Grant and Dave spend time talking to Joseph, Mike, and Shane about their experiences playing epic multiplayer mode... and doing it digitally. Despite some crazy obstacles, they managed to beat one of the hardest scenarios in the game in one of the hardest game modes in the game. Thanks to them for joining us. To see Grant's Epic Multiplayer Game, here's the link to Mr. Underhill's recorded live stream: https://youtu.be/nHT4WaTjujQ

We harken back to the core set with a review of this card. While Ted is out to lunch, Dave and Grant talk about Valiant Sacrifice. This leadership card is a decent option in for card draw if you are looking for leadership only. It may not be the best option if you have any sort of lore in your deck.

Card Talk takes a a few minutes of your day to discuss the core set card Power in the Earth. It's not awesome by any stretch of the imagination, but it certainly has a place in the card pool. Join Ted and Dave as they discuss where that place is.

In this episode of Card Talk the guys talk about a card that's been around for a while and has received new life in recent months with the release of the contracts. Please enjoy our show discussing Timely Aid.

This is the audio of Sarah McLeod introing Rosie Cotton.

Epic. That's all I really need to say about this show. We have two of the community's foremost experts on how to use Rosie Cotton on the show talking about, well, how to use her effectively. Most of the first 20 minutes or so has surprises for everyone here, included both guests and most importantly, you, the audience! Enjoy!

In this show we spend a lot of time talking about Elwing's flight with Steven Majka. Most people would know him in the community as Vardaen. If you play Marvel Champions you may know him from his own fledgling podcast, Critical Encounters. Today, he drops a few knowledge bombs on us and teaches us why this card's art hits the mail exactly on the head. Thanks, Steve, for joining us!

In this episode of Card Talk, we discuss the core set staple, Unexpected Courage. It's a great card. You should join us in a thought experiment. Name a deck that you don't use this card.

CON OF THE RINGS ANNOUNCEMENT!!  

Today we have John Rogers on the show making the first official announcement for Con of the Rings 2020.  He explains what's the same, what's new, and of course, what the quests will be.  It's an exciting time to be a part of the community

We also spend some time talking about The Long Defeat.  This lore attachment is not a power card, but we spend the last half of the show talking about how good this card really is.
