Art draft is back baby! We crush and get crushed by the amazing art in Flesh and Blood's latest release Mastery Pack Guardian. Will Colin redeem himself? Probably not, but who cares!? It's always a good time here at the Attack Action Podcast. We also chat about the general reception of MPG as well as the merits of Crack Shuffle Play, and introduce a new segment, "Pitch it, or Play it?"

It's official...the Battle Bros are super stoked for the Guardian Mastery Pack. So much so we came up with a new episode format where we define, distill, and discuss what we're calling the "totems" of Guardian. We also chime in on the recent PQ rules changes and Colin even has a new game segment as well. It's a smashtastic episode for all you attacktioneers that we hope you love.

The Battle Bros pick sides and enter the arena as Reviled and Revered Co-Hosts. We take a deep dive into the muddled hype around the professional wrestling themed set Super Slam! Discussing each of the heroes and their potential place in the meta and our hearts.

Oh and then we do a tier list ranking every CC specialization as better or worse than regicide.

The Battle Bros put on our rose colored glasses and take a look at the history and impact of the Living Legend system that governs the Flesh and Blood meta game. This unique system of rotation is probably the most discussed element of the game and it's not even really part of the game, it's a meta rules policy that determines, in part, the set of legal cards that can be played in official organized play tournaments of FAB. Love it or hate it, it's here to stay and one of the most interesting elements of our favorite game.

What are your most memorable stories around the LL system? When did it hurt you? When did it bring you the most joy?

Avast Ye Attacktioneers, the Battle Bros are back with a classic meandering discussion on High Seas, and why it's fun, US Nationals, and what's that? an impromptu Rhinar deck tech discussion. And the guys coerce Colin into opening all his Treasure Packs.

Let's talk about the art High Seas. Can we please talk about the art in High Seas. We've been dying to talk about the art in High Seas. It's ART DRAFT BABY! It's that time of year again when we put on our art appreciation glasses and discuss aesthetics, themes, color stories, and sometimes feet.

Let us know in the comments who drafted the strongest art from the latest set.

New meta means it's time for a new hero. Colin asks the Battle Bros to pitch him one of their favorite heroes and he makes vague non-committal promise-like statements about playing them. Will Colin play Dori? No! But maybe a warrior ;)

What heroes are y'all thinking about for this new upcoming meta?

You down with PTP? YEAH YOU KNOW ME! That's right, this week we sit down with Pro Tour London Participants Taylor and Zayne and discuss their experience at the latest tier 4 event. It's Taylor's first time and Zayne has been to oh so many. What did they play? Who did they play? How did they play? And most importantly what did they eat?

Zayne is lost in the highlands so Taylor, Blake, and Colin dive into all the news coming out of PT London's Keynote and discuss hits and misses with all new product announcements. Overall we're very excited if only a bit embarrassed by what we saw. Will Smash Palace be the casual player entry point we've all been dreaming? It's definitely possible!
