Everybody, welcome to today's episode of Top Cut. You go podcast. I'm Sonny, you're hosting with Caleb. As always, and today we're doing something a little bit different.

We have a live recording here from our local CTV games in Alexandria. So what we're doing today is we're going to do a round by round interviews with the players to just kind of do a breakdown and talk to each one. And we're going to go by table one at each round. So table one today was...

David Anderson. All right, David, you're a local right here at ETV, right? Yes, sir. Awesome.

So table one, what are you playing today? I am playing Trabagate with... Yes. Learless.

Oh, okay, so you're playing the bird up. Mm-hmm. All right, guys. The guy that was playing was a very nice guy.

So the match went very smooth. That's always good. So I know with the bird up engine, there can be some really specific interactions. Do you have anything that popped up in that round that you saw that was kind of interesting?

No, the match was very bland. Game one, I didn't open up the best. I had about three hand truffs in here. So I just went into...

You go first or second? I went first. Okay. So I just made the statue against right trying to set up.

Putting it under the sovereignty makes it very difficult for them. So usually if they don't have droplet, it's usually game. So he scooped up at that. Yeah.

So Barry's got you round game one, what game two? Game two, he decided to go first. So I started in five cards. Three of which I've seen very lovely.

Oh, that's pretty good. Let's see it. I started in three droplets and two throws because my worst enemy is the ritual that negates everything. That's my bane.

So I opened up with two of them. And then I got a kit, an ass blossom and a score of myster. So I asked a score of myster. He couldn't really do anything except make your goon.

So he made your goon. But fortunately I had droplet. Droplet. And then he dropped it with a kit and then he just got calmed by that point.

Yeah, yeah. Well, I know him a summon. A kit and went into Omroj to bait the jagoon. Oh, okay, yeah.

So he attempted to activate. It wouldn't gain the one k anyway. But I went into bait it so I could get to the gate. I guess you could say get in the gate all the way, get the most out of the summon.

Right. But I had no play, no follow up play after that. I just added fractal in pass. Yeah.

It just, he just couldn't do anything because I have for being droplet and then I just went to the co-talker. Yeah. And just. Would you have done anything differently?

No, I think I played the best that I possibly could because he was really down to one card. He only had one to get with the jagoon. So all I needed to do was bait the jagoon. And all I, when I searched fractal, fractal himself is basically co-talker.

Right. So, and he was down to like 58. So, um, access code 63 by himself. So I just wanted to wait and install them all.

Definitely. Right. So that puts you up to, uh, I put your record at 1.0. So it's going to start on the day for sure.

Okay. Well, I don't know how your ground go. Oh, I lost it. It was a versus, uh, uh, trimmer than me, but it's, uh, kiss killing.

Lilla. Evil twins. Yeah. Evil twins.

Evil twins. Um, was it splasher than either end? Or was it just pure, uh, I saw a pure game one. Uh, it went about three turn, like three back and forth before I even knew what to do was playing.

He just drew, because he drew no engine cards. And the only reason why he was playing at that point is because he activated, uh, one of their cell cards. And that was the only reason why I knew. Right.

Um, so like turn one, he was able to, he went first, got through his hand traps and stuff. He was able to actually stop my push. So all I could really do was just kind of go, Oh, and make, uh, because I didn't always know what to do. I had to sit there and decide which rank four that I had access to, but I decided to go into it.

I decided to go into it with a best waller. Yeah. So I hit, uh, not the right match for best waller. Turn it, turn it out, drag on probably the better in that situation, but I didn't know.

Yeah. Yeah. Uh, game two, I opened full combo and, uh, and then turn three was, I opened, I went first, I opened four traps and salon. Mm-hmm.

One of them was DD ground though. So I just had four past, um, stand, stand by, flip the DD ground, but then I couldn't get it. I had a pretty similar thing. I played against, uh, PK fire, game one, uh, he just had combo and I just, I had like a single ash and that's just not enough.

Um, and then game two, uh, basically, uh, actually I didn't have a great opener game two, but I ended up having an exact game on the board through, uh, basically I had like five defensive cards in my hand. So I was able to stop him and get it on turn three and then, uh, because revolt, revolt was blowout. And then, uh, game, game three, uh, we were going in time, we were both playing kind of quick and getting an important drill on it, which was just like, yeah, I'm just like, I'm just going to get an important drill on it, which was just like, a good and fog-like enough to stop me, you know? So I think I open like, strike, revolt, kit, and her vol, ash or something like that, which is a good opener, but like even when you hit him in the right, or scumizer, ash, kit, uh, revolt, uh, strike going second.

So I mean, it was an awkward hand, but uh, it's all right. It is what it is. I do what you can. He's a good player, so we just went ahead and moved on to, uh, round two.

So, uh, well thanks for joining us, David. Uh, we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna jump in round two. Yeah. Alright everybody, we're back after an interesting round two.

Okay, interesting round two. So today, uh, this round, we're here with Levi. Levi, you're from Seal Fox Up and Street board, right? Yes.

Got you. Uh, what do you plan today? Uh, today I'm playing beat trooper with a very expensive fusion monster. You have the Qui-Gourg Hercules?

I do. I'm so jealous. That's like one of the things that's stopping me from playing that deck is I feel like it's not even good enough with the ones you have the right effusions in the Qui-Gourg. Yeah, definitely.

I did go undefeated without it, my last locals. Really? But it's so much better with it, so. Is it?

Well, I would help so considering how expensive is that Qui-Gourg is right now. Yeah. So, uh, so what did you play against? Uh, so I played against Attica, sure.

Um, game one, he won the dice roll, and uh, he did the full combo. My deck doesn't play anything except for Inpermanence and Hand Trap wise, so I just let him do the whole combo, and then I hard open uh, Kumagas. So I just kaiju the rival. Ah!

And then he had an ash, but I called by two, so I just actually kind of luck-sacked my way there. But did the full combo and just out-took him? Yeah, yeah. That's awesome.

Uh, so that was, you said that was game one? Yeah, that was game one. So what, your main deck in the kaiju? Yeah, I mean the two kaiju's.

Because I'm not playing so many hand traps, I decided to main deck the kaiju's. Fair enough. So I'm only playing the gdarloh, one gdarloh, and one kimonghas. So did that come up in game one?

Yeah, I hard do them. I mean round one, I mean- Oh, and round one? Um, unfortunately round one, my virtual world opponent didn't draw well either game, so he's kind of lost his own deck unfortunately. Yeah, virtual world does do that.

Um, yeah, I guess the gdarloh being an insect is really the same game. Yeah, because I can add it off of the resonance insect, one of her sense of greek room. Oh, and kimonghas, I don't want it. But I imagine, I imagine it's primarily a gdarloh.

Uh, most of the time I'll get kimonghas, but the only reason why I put both in there is that way if I'm under a rivalry, I can play with insects. And if there's a win statue on board, I can do darloh. So there's a little bit of thought process with it, but- Makes sense. So I know that some play, what are some of the one-of-tech insects that you're playing?

Because I know some people play some of the different sea cards. Yeah, so my deck list consists of three of the battle-loss sting, three, pin, and three of the other one, I forget the same. I think it's double or something like that. The level one one one?

No, it's a level three. Okay. So I'm going to make sure they're maxed out on all of those, because they're just for aches, senders. And then I play the two sting, a lancer, and then three of the other beat rigor.

All the threes. They're pretty good. Okay, for anybody who's listening at once, I'm going to make sure that it's on the Team Darkong Dealing's channel. Okay, I guess we'll get to that.

Yeah, that's definitely going to happen. So I won't explain the whole thing. Yeah. You have to stay tuned for that.

That's it. So that puts you at 2-0 right now, right? Yes, I do. Okay.

So what do you play? You said you played a guitar? I've heard a world, and I've been concerned. Gotcha.

I play the two Kaiju's, and then I play the Goki Bowl, only one of some people are playing three, but you don't really want to draw up. And then I'm playing Goki Boer. It's a normal monster, so if you add it off the Goki Bowl, you can special summon it, and destroy something with higher attack or equal to. Yeah, right.

So if our goal goes well, it's 1,200 attack, it's the one you summon off with Goki Boer, right? The normal monster. So what's his attack? It's 1,200, and 14 defense.

Okay. Yeah, it's the monster that's on, there's being stacked on the bowl. Oh, okay. Yeah.

I got you. So a lot of people play the win version, it's the same attack, but I like the Goki Boer, because it's McDonald's promo. He's the last. He got the play with McDonald's promo.

Yeah, that's funny. Caleb, how do you run to go? When I became slothful. Oh.

He won the dice roll the side, off to the go second. So I looked at my hand, did my full combo. He's playing the old version of fluff hole. Yeah.

Did my full combo, ended on what I normally end on, and then he passed her on the back. I passed her on. He normal summons a fluff hole ping when activate effect, and I flip goes in. Oh my god.

Scoop. Right there. Yeah, that's just let's go to game two right there. Game two, he wants to go second.

Yeah, he must be playing the go second version. He told me to go first. Yeah. So I opened full combo plus M-harm and did open the go's in open.

Uh, grab your chapel for the third time. Yeah. Uh, let's see. Pass her.

So my board passed. First thing he does is he activates terraform. I'm like terraforming and fluff hole. What do you think he searched?

Mystic mine. No. Oh. Oh.

Magical meltdown. Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh yeah.

So he activates magical meltdown and I hit it with promenade. So you can get it. I can get it. And then he activated it.

No. Yes. Yeah. I activated promenade to get it.

Then he activated the palmerization, the gate. And then I just had everything to stop everything. I just got there. I guess meltdown.

I know. Okay. So I've seen a couple of different decks kind of slash on the input engine. They just use the invocation as either a makeup on the gate or they use it as a plumberization diffusion.

Yeah. I guess it's an interesting concept. I've never seen it. But I've been here in the game forever either.

Yeah. And I've also made it where I can't negate a response to his palmerization diffusion. Right. But it's negated.

So. Yeah. I played against Drytron. I, game one, he went first.

All I had was a single effect. I was holding it for his moubaeta. And then he never got to moubaeta. He accidentally messed up his own combo.

And so I just learned your combos kids. Well, yeah. He messed up his own combo and his end board was like Link, Karibo, and Diviner. Mmm.

That feels good. Yeah. And then game three, I just, I went first and I made a three-man Apalusa and throughout the course of my turn, I offer fairs eat, draw. I got an IO.

Oh, no. So I'm actually like, I have IO anti-spelt, put back the anti-spelt. Okay. Let's keep going.

So as I said, IO revolts on. I'm strike with a three-man Apalusa. And I was like upgrades. It'd be like that.

It'd be like that. So here we are. But anyway, so how do you like the B2Bringen moving forward as the rounds get harder? So I haven't got the practice a whole lot against Drytron or Kervid.

As far as like my theory testing, it's been all right. The Kervid's against like Apalusa where the herald be good. Right. So I don't know.

Like I said, I've had a whole lot of practice, but it's all really up to what hands are good. Yeah, of course. Yeah. And who wins the betro first?

Always. Because if I get to go first and you don't have any interactions, I'm probably going to win that game. Yeah, for sure. I mean, that's about to eat that right now.

Yeah. All right. Well, let's go ahead and get on into round three. All right, everybody.

We're back after round three. Well, actually round three still has like six or seven minutes left. But our duals finished pretty quick. Yeah, yeah.

But we wanted to come in. I wanted to have my opponent, Jack here with us. What's going on? Jack.

I'm going good. So what do you plan today? Found lights. Uh oh.

That I've had for about two days, like two real days, like I've only played a few days. So still near the deck. I got you. Round two made some misplays.

Yeah. What's your record at this point? Oh, one, two. I got you.

I got you. So coming into the tournament, so you said you were fairly new to the deck. In Pareft, you're doing like test hands or anything like that or you're just kind of coming like let's go. I think you came in blind.

That's all right. So have you had anything happen today? Oh, that's cool interaction. Yeah.

On the fly that you learned. Yeah. It was round two against the last one, live twin. And it was, I completely forgot in Germany he said the name burning abyss and its title.

Oh yeah. For some reason, it's on like ram sear, sear effect. Oh, I can totally bring back Caribbean and totally make a combo now. Yeah.

You know, so which is good to know now. I now learned that a towards scale starts on a separate chain which sucks because I can't chain walk, but whatever. Yeah, it's still good though to have the extender. Oh yeah.

I don't know. It's just a deck that's just going to be a game. Yeah. So what you playing against around two you said it was live twin.

Yeah. What was round one? Round one was blue eyes ritual. Oh my.

I know the two individuals are talking about for round one too because I just told them. Yeah. Um, he had big max and a little chaos dragon on his board and I'm like, that's a problem. So I was thinking made right as night when an arch rebellion, the game effects did with 10K attacks, chaos max, pass turn his.

So that's all I ended up winning was game one. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Game two, we opened up send you which you know, not only people just run man's you and then oh, look here's send you.

Oh wow. He only made I think he only got little chaos dragon on the board and so I outed it. The guy did it. Oh, I made a misplay and went to rebellion.

I should have gone back into arc. I had rangers night which I guess in hindsight I could have just made on a break sword. Yeah. So that way at the end of his turn I can have more of a board state.

Yeah. Because the problem is now like the deck is still as is as I got it from my friends. I'm still running this weird Kali you get your topic Kaiser package that I'm not too keen on because to make it specifically in this deck you have to have the trap card that comes out of level four and stand greaves right which you know it's not a problem. You can search trap and you can search stand greaves.

It's just you know it's less than ideal. Yeah. I mean like if you if it works you get Kali you go on your own turn and that's a free turn that you can now make that you get back resources or just win the game right. Right.

I mean Kali you was a good car but I think I think about switching out the cards for Obelusa IP and some other stuff. Yeah. I was thinking about going back to playing Evil Swarm Ophion. Uh oh.

And some of the other stuff because in the old version of the Found Knights I played I ran Ophion and I read the consteller what is that? Tollumming? No I read I played Diamond and then I played Baltimore. Baltimore is going to Trevor.

Oh. Yeah that's right. But you have to break swords to the starting point of the combo. Right.

Right. So that does kind of leave me to my next question which is now that you've got some time playing with the deck and we'll have one more round here. Are there any changes or additions that you think you would make going forward? I don't think I'm going to do the extra deck definitely because I don't see Kaiser happening that.

I don't see it happening enough to where I warrant it keeping it in there. I don't know. You did just pick up the topic to go future. I did.

Uh oh. You know. Could I get that anywhere right? Yeah.

Um main deck wise I think it's good like the burning abyss and it's like two grass and two seer which is cool. I might put Dante in. I don't know. I think the deck's fine.

I kind of want to take out the Dark World Beelings because in Game 2 it was handless. So maybe I might hit a Phantom Knight spell. I mean trap and I'll be able to get back into this. Nailed Rota.

And I might also get rid of card destruction. Yeah. They're kind of like kind of high roll. Yeah it is.

You know like I understand card destruction you know with my hands load it with Phantom like cards. Yeah. I tell you. But you know it seems kind of like a win more card.

Also there's no can't traps in the deck because. Oh yeah. You got to make space for them. Yeah.

But something is you know might work on hand trust. But again UBO is UBO so. It's a numbers game. You can go into the little the probability calculator and like put in all your deck size and everything to kind of determine and for those that need it the link will be in the description below if you want to try it out.

Yeah for those that want to use it. It's really good. You can put in your deck size and then like cards and hand and things like that and probability of drawing you know one or two hand traps or one or two starters things like that. That's good to know.

Yeah it's a super helpful tool. That's how that's how I got to a lot of the numbers I got to my deck. Even though I run 42 cards like I found that starting running certain cards and certain combinations results in my odds of opening certain hands not really going down. So.

So yeah me and you played against each other around three and I won. Caleb what how do you run three go? Well I went up against the blue eyes player. He was talking about earlier.

Game one he won the die rolls said you're going first. Oh what are you playing? Okay. That's right you're playing you know basically old shout out you know you're playing Xe there deck.

Yeah but now with the new support it's just it's got it's got it's got it's got back up to speed. It's no longer. I mean yeah I mean so many go first which is part because my deck is specifically designed preferably to go second assuming my opponent's always want to say they want to go first. That's just like I don't want to go second so I can just OTK.

So I did my normal board as I usually because I'm running 12 starters. So you know did my normal board and pass my turn. He draws her turn and goes pass. Keep wrecked.

I mean you're playing blue eyes and the ritual variant it's more there's more bricks in there like if you're playing standard blue eyes and probably have their chance of unbreaking. Oh because I used to run neck knight blue eyes. Oh man. And that used to be and just make rank eight.

Yeah yeah. And I used to just abuse the columns but like if I was ever going first I would hope I had more blue eyes started cards. And I would have neck knights. Yeah.

And then round two he decided that excuse me I was once going to go first. So I sided for going first. Yeah take the hand. Yeah.

So I literally opened my hand went. Mayboard set three pass. That's pretty good. Yeah that's pretty good.

And he dropped. He was able to drop the cows max. Pass it back to me. And I'm looking at it like really that's it.

I'm not afraid of your non-targetable 4k beatstick my man. Made queen send it back to the deck. Yeah our rebellion was that I had our rebellion it just negated the effects. So I was able to target him.

You know I just I just started to shuffle it back in the deck. And that was too. Queen one of the most broken rank force in the game. Now it's more focused on like if you're just playing a rank eight deck.

Make your bouillon. Bring out new round dragon swinging for big number. Yeah big beatstick. Gorillofus.

That's what all buys is. You know Gorillofus. Yeah. Yeah.

Unfortunately. Yeah until we get that new trap forward. Oh yeah. That was coming in the tins right.

Yeah it's a promo. We're really looking forward to it. It's not a promo it's just in the tin. Well let's grab me on.

Okay. It's okay. It's cool to get different people in here. Oh yeah.

Kinda much I would have done better. But you know. Alright. Alright so we're still post round three before round four.

We're here with Aaron. You're from the street for locals. Yeah. Okay.

Same as Levi who we had in after the last round. So what deck are you playing today? So today I'm actually playing pure evil twin live twin whatever you want to call it. Oh no.

Yeah so without link for playing the pure version. Oh man. That's actually going to get a lot better on that link for it. Oh the link for it can all deck is a huge upgrade.

At that point it's maybe even playable. Right exactly. Right now you have like eight twin monsters and like 32 hand traps. War crime.

deck. Yep. So what's your record at this point? I'm three oh.

Okay. Good tonight. Hey good to know my one loss is undefeated. That's a really good time.

Don't lose round four boy. Oh come after me. Oh so what did you play against round three? Round three I played against the grandmaju deck.

The rank eight going second version. Oh yeah. It's not like the go first with the expected order and stuff. It just tries to go leave home as fast as possible.

Oh my goodness. No. It's actually a tough match up for me because he's running dark holes in Kaiju slumbers. Oh.

They all destroy the twin strategy of leaving a twin on the field. So I don't want to play against that. I don't want to play against that. Yeah.

So um. So the deck. Like you said, it's basically like eight, eight evil twin monsters on like a gajillion hand traps. Right.

Yeah. How do you think the deck evolves moving forward when the link becomes up? So honestly I don't think much changes. The only thing that changes is a bunch of different ways to play the deck.

You have Pure, you have Eldritch and you have Unchained is the three most popular variants of Twin. Personally I think Pure is the best because you get to run as many flex spots as like any other deck. You pretty much play it like a zu-yak which is like a one card engine with you know a bunch of traps and hand traps. Right.

But like twins get the benefit of having secret passwords, sunny, snitch and home which means you can play through loads of different hand traps to find your play, go on a sunny snitch and you can let strike, torrential and have ash and failure in your hand. So many good flex spots you can play. I got you. Awesome.

Alright. So do you like the deck moving forward like past this tournament or do you think this is just like a one off kind of experiment? Well I've actually played the deck several times. I played it at a 3v3 which we ended up getting second at and yeah it's definitely deck on playing going forward especially because it's better with the support coming on versus me.

But yeah it's a personal favorite deck of mine. I mean I went and hollowed out the deck. It's full CR full star light. It is very nice.

Oh my. It's a water cache. Gotcha. Well we appreciate you coming on.

I'll catch you after the tournament. Alright so that was good. Alright everybody we're back. We actually went through around for top 4 and finals already.

We just went straight through everything. Top 4 table 1 was Aaron and Levi who we've already talked about them and Aaron ended up winning that so Aaron went undefeated. Then we had the winner of table 2 which was me and Cam. Right so we have Cam here.

Yup. Alright so those in the server will actually already know Cam by his server name which is Cam from Team Dark Arm dealings. Yes. So round 4 was me versus Cam.

What did you think of that? I know it was a game 3. I think that was the funniest game I've ever had. Oh no that was game 2 round.

That was game 2 out of me. Yeah so what happened was I debuted like a 5 monster of a Dolce board. I drew. And the token was 78-72.

78? That's a big rock. Yup. And then he tried to pop it and I stopped him for popping it.

Pass back to me. I just flipped it into attack mode. Attacked and he fog bladed his own rusty bar dish. Yeah he moved about 4 turns I believe.

It was him trying to get rid of the fog blade and me stopping him from getting rid of it. Yeah he got rid of it. I would have been blown out the water. Yeah I made a tornado drag and attached to pop vlog blade and next turn to attached to pop vlog blade.

Vailer. No. Oh my goodness that is tragic. It only had a top of my harpies on the duster which I ran didn't see in all the day.

So that was round 4. Then it was top cuts top 4. Top 4 is me, Aaron, you were there Cam and Levi. I played Aaron who I used to like I said he was on live twin and I won that game 2-0.

He was my round 1. Yeah. Yeah call by on lands he is pretty good. For those interested Aaron's YouTube which is top tier gaming that will also be in the description below.

And then the other game was Cam and Levi how did that go Cam? So he was playing pewtakers. Oh I'm not going to lie the deck is pretty cool. It's literally just like fan mike by the way and it was literally just fan mike by insects.

But everything I did basically you know we had those gal buddies, guys, the little extenders basically a little bit like they saw that everything I was doing he was doing. That's so funny. Pretty cool. And I think with a game 3.

So that's it. Yeah I think with a game 3. Game 3. I was able to play through all of these interruptions and I had Stan Grease and the Shapering.

Yeah. And now allowed me to go in the archibillion and attack for 11,600. Okay yeah yeah. I got you.

Yeah. So you win your top 4 match and I win mine so me and you play off against each other in finals. Yeah. So in finals we're looking at like that tri brigade versus pk fire.

So game 1 I think I had a little bit of back and forth to it. I don't think I don't know. I don't know. I didn't have much place to make but game 2 I like turbo bricked.

But I mean that was my first real brick of the day. I mean it happens dude. I mean you play through six rounds and you're bound to see a brick at some point. No matter how consistent the deck is.

Yeah for sure. So but cam hilariously I went 3-1 in time in Swiss and then top cut I went 1 in top 4 in the lost in finals. So my 2 lost in the day were both to cam. Cam how does it feel to be the best of the most alive?

At least the best of the most here. Well I mean I certainly don't think that's the case but uh very humble of you. I do try. Like I said I stay up till what 6am like playing and playing test hands you know.

And what's funny was like round like we walk in and he just like immediately finds like I'm coming for you. I'm gonna get you. That's sure enough. Sure enough.

Got got got yeah. Yeah. Too far I've been calling you on the Discord server all the time. I deserve that.

A lot. Got slapped. So well I had a fun time today. What about y'all?

Oh I had a blast. Oh definitely man. Like being able to play. Yeah being able to play the deck that I love like I've been playing that deck ever since like the new sport came out.

Yeah that's what got me into competitive. Like being able to play the deck and actually see success wouldn't really enjoy that. Yeah for sure I've never beaten you if you were playing that deck. Yeah.

You're four wanting to get me to turn on play. You know that right. Yeah I could have but I got greedy. Oh man.

I had two little fours. I hadn't been watching myself yet. And then went ahead and smashed some of the petting sets instead of making the replay show. Yeah.

If I made a replay show that would've been it. Oh my goodness. Oh well. You live anywhere.

Yeah and like I've funny enough like all of my wins against Sunny have all been Phantom Knight related decks. Like when I first played against them back when Josh was came out. I played the Phantom Knights up here or with the PK Fire. And when I played against them again I was playing Dragon Link but with the PK engine you know going into the rest of the inning on Double Fog Lee on the Vomitatation and all that.

All right everybody, we're back in the studio. And we are here with Top Tier Game. Hello. Hello.

All right. And of course, Caleb. Hello. Levi and Dylan and Cam are in the background too, but they're nervous.

They're shy. I want the flow. Dylan's on the flow. But it's OK.

Levi's asleep, basically. He's just chilling. It's OK though. We're here.

How was the turn up for everybody today? How did you all enjoy yourselves? That was Patty. I enjoyed myself in Swiss.

I got first after Swiss, which was pretty fun. How did you do in top of it? Some man drew him here ordering and then cheated with called by the great. Whoa.

Whoa. Hold up. Top coat was fun too, but you know. Not as can't win them all.

Can't win them all. The guy that cheated Aaron also just likes that because they draw D-shirt to turn the door. We won't talk about that. Whoa.

We can really talk stories from locals. That's why I'm not supposed to listen to that. Listen, all I'm saying is somebody's got a draw good. And it's true.

It happens to me. It's me. Well, I'm glad they're right at fun today. I do want to talk a little bit going forward though.

I do want to look forward a little bit into the coming formats and into the coming meta. So specifically, what I want to talk about is a post-bode meta. We're going to assume going forward that the bandless handles crankage, driver, and drive drone specifically. So if those three decks are basically just no longer playable coming out of the bandless, something along lines of like band revolt, limit the cat, band eva.
