Cardboard and Beyond

In the debut episode of Cardboard and Beyond, we sit down with Yuki Lee Bender—an accomplished Flesh and Blood player, dedicated teacher, and lover of all things snowy. We explore her path into card games, how skiing helps her reset, and the analytical mindset she brings to deckbuilding. Bryce and Yuki explore how curiosity, preparation, and discipline allow her to succeed where others are so uncomfortable: a brand new meta. Yuki shares how she embraces the uncertainty that comes with a blank canvas and turns it into an edge.
