As we wind down our fourth year on the podcast and come screaming into the last Standard set of the year and holiday season rush, we decided to do our retrospective a little early.

In the first of our two part series, we look back at cards we spec'd on personally this year. Cards that we mentioned just in passing in Discord, maybe bought into at the start of the year that made it into the cast, and even some we just kept to ourselves due to likelihood of failure or even lack of insight.

We group as many picks together as we can into lessons learned and discuss how things went!
