By popular demand!  We bring Matt on this episode of Card Talk to talk about a hero that he has been advocating for for years.  Hero Lore Faramir fits real nice into Matt's trap deck, but can it fit elsewhere?   

In our monthly trip around the community, we spend the whole episode talking about GenCon, the yearly gaming convention that happens in Indianapolis, IN, USA. Ted, our newest co-host reports all the news from the floor of the con!

In this episode, we get over our "Doomed Fear" pretty quickly as we talk about Legacy of Numenor, a 0 cost, doomed 4 (yup, F-O-U-R!) event.  It gives every hero in the game an extra resource. In essence, it skips a whole turn.  Does the cost outweigh the benefit?  This is the interesting question that we take on in this episode!

In this episode we talk about Grima, a Lore Hero from the the Voice of Isengard box.  His ability is to give cards the doomed keyword, but reduce their cost by 1.  Is the trade off good?  Is it bad?  Is it ugly?  And speaking of his card art...

Have you ever heard something we've said and thought that we were so totally off base that you wanted to set us straight, or maybe even worse?  Join Grant and Dave as they have Ted Banach on the show where he discusses how the guys got their analysis of Hero Gandalf all wrong.  Ted is a veteran player himself and has made an appearance on CotR with the same theme: All cards are playable.  Let us know about your own "set us straight moment!"
