With Force Throw Banned, we decided to deep dive into Han Solo SOR to talk about which color best suits him and if we can make force decks viable in this new meta.  We also cover a few of the spoilers that came out this week talking about a new leader Tanner predicted last set.  Lastly we kick off our Designer Interview series with Kevin Wison as we talk about cards games, board games, and designing the best game possible.
