Zzzz... hey!? Are you sleeping? No? Well, chances are good you're sleeping on Peace Accord 😎. In this episode the Russell brothers talk about everyone's favorite artifact to glaze over in deck lists while the chat piles onto strussell for his recent NKFL trials and triumphs (and Triumph is much better against an empty board and not when played unexpectedly via Wild Wormhole).

No... this isn't jtrussell's new nickname - in this episode quickdraw3457 and jtrussell talk about the rising(?) power level of decks in the game.

Two things are certain in KeyForge - strussell and jtrussell. Sometimes they're right too but always they're good for a laugh. You know what's not good for a laugh? Quixxle Stone. Unless you play it. In casual.

The Cartel of J's break down KeyForge's secondary market in this very spicy episode of Bottom of the Beaker.

Join the Russell cyber clones for a discussion on Bo3 Adaptive. Is there such a thing as a good (or bad) adaptive deck?

We'll be referencing ideas from previous episodes on Luck/Skill/Deck and Bo1 Adaptive. Be sure to give those a listen too if you haven't already 🤓.

Some decks reference in this episode:

Quickdraw is joined by jtrussell and strussell who are sitting shoulder-to-shoulder for maximum banter (and smack talk) efficiency. This episode is best enjoyed mixed with some eggnog and poured over ice.

Guest hosts BHawk and SecondAct make their way down to the Sloppy Lab to share their thoughts on building a local scene. What's been working, what's not been working as well, and what we looking for with Winds of Exchange on the horizon to kick start local organized play?

This episode is a spiritual successor to our recent cast on casual vs competitive play in KF - we'll be paying special attention to engaging with the folks looking for casual play at your LGS.

Quickdraw and jtrussell take a look at everyone's favorite vehicle. Some of our all time favorite - and sneakiest - decks feature this artifact. We explore what to look for in a Soul Snatcher deck, what to avoid, when to play it, and when to discard it.

Decks features in this episode:

Quickdraw and jtrussell explore the topic of decks with low aember control - things to consider when playing them and what you might look for in such a deck that will allow it to still be competitive. Our discussions follow immediately on the heels of ABR's "Jank" week that required players to plays with an aember control score of at most [3 as rated by Decks of KeyForge](https://decksofkeyforge.com/about/sas).

This topic was similarly covered not long ago by the good folks over on the Nordic KeyForge Podcast.
