After a bit of a hiatus, the crew is back to discuss the new hotness, namely Abomination, the Wrecking Crew, and Mephisto. We discuss what we think of the new models, and where we see them fitting into the current meta (whatever that is).

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).

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.)

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 As always, make sure to rate and review Witty Banter on your podcast platform of choice.

The crew gets into some timey-wimey nonsense, as this episode is being posted while most of the crew is competing at Squad Goals in Chicago, an amazing three-player team tournament. Did we record it live as they were playing, or was it pre-recorded? We'll never say ... We talk about the different types of team tournaments, how they work, roster strategies, in-tournament strategies, and everything else you'll need to be ready for *your* next team tournament. Don't forget about Omaha's big local tournament coming up, the Bugeater. The tournament is May 31 - June 02, at Millard West High School. It's going to have a team tournament, an LVO-qualifyer Challenger event, and some wacky stuff on Sunday. Get your tickets and more information ⁠⁠here⁠⁠.
