The crew opens the show with a discussion about the updated Banned and Restricted list, focusing on how Researcher got hit with the Restricted-hammer (which is way less imposing sounding). Then, the crew breaks down the new Monsters Unleashed box, including Dracula's leadership.

In this episode, we discuss David's idea of getting more granular with our understanding of roster archetypes. Rather than just "scorey" or "killey," we break rosters down into five archetypes - Aggressive Scoring, Defensive Scoring, Midrange, Tall Attrition, and Wide Attrition. We talk about what each one means, how to build for them, and how to plan against them.

(Also, Wide Attrition, come out to plaaaaaaay. IYKYK.)

He is the rock on the eternal shore, crash upon him and be broken! Yes, webheads, Apocalypse is here, and the crew takes a deep dive on the Big A and all of his Horsemen. We also congratulate the winner of our last giveaway, and announce the next one with the choice of four (!) boxes.

The crew also creates a tier list of models to buy if you want to run Apocalypse as an affiliation but don't own all the models yet. Our Consumer Reports recommendations for Horsemen are as follows:

Must have: Colossus, Honey Badger, Iceman, Psylocke, and Toad

Nice to have: Beast, Archangel, Deadpool, Magik, Mister Sinister, Sabretooth, The Blob, and Wolverine

Can skip: Cable, Cassandra Nova, and *sob* Gambit
