I'm joined by Dyzard once more to talk about the exciting new crisis leaked with the upcoming X-men boxes! We discuss how live the extract is, what affiliations play at 14 threat, who wants to take it, who wants to avoid it, and whether Taskmaster is the best 3 cost in the game.

Going back to our roots, we revisit an affiliation combo that featured on Episode 0 of roster doctor - Web Warriors / Wakanda. We talk about Steven's innovations, what to take in a post B&R world, and how to open up higher threat team options.

In a Roster Doctor first, Faustein and I go through a TRIPLE affiliation roster. But is it as triple as it looks? We talk through when to play what, how to play attrition focused, and what to upgrade!
