In this episode, we take a closer look at the sweeping rules updates that followed the Compendium of Rathe release. We break down the most meaningful changes across the Comprehensive Rules, Tournament Rules and Policy, and the Penalties & Procedures Guide — not just what changed, but why it matters for judges on the floor and players at competitive events.

Before we get into the main topic, we open with our usual check‑in on the last two weeks in Flesh and Blood: events we judged, games we played, and the moments that stood out. We also cover the latest news, including the new Banned & Restricted Announcement, updates around Calling Memphis, and the big milestone of Verdance and Kayo joining the Living Legend ranks.

To wrap things up, we answer our first listener question, kicking off what we hope becomes a regular segment of judge‑focused Q&A.
