The Set 13 meta didn't take long to sort itself out.

Attack of the Vine hits wide release this week, so we went through

the decks people are actually turning up with — what's winning,

what's overrated, and what nobody's ready for yet. Then we reviewed

every Enchanted in the set, because someone had to.

In this episode:

- The meta decks shaping day one of Attack of the Vine

- Which builds are overrated (Glenn disagrees, obviously)

- How Temporary Shift, Underdog and the Iconic dual-inks are

changing the way decks get built

- Every Enchanted in Set 13, reviewed properly

- The chase cards worth the money, and the ones that really aren't

207 cards, three Pixar debuts, and two dads who should probably

stop opening packs.

Which deck are you taking to your first Set 13 event? Come and tell

us — we're on Instagram and in the comments on YouTube.
