With these turbulant times, it is sometimes difficult to keep track of time. Just a few days ago I realised that January was already approaching its end, which means that the blog turns 3 years old today! It is hard to imagine that I have already been publishing articles and commiting so much time to … Continue reading Third year anniversary
Classic Into the Pit is one of my favorite testing quests for new decks. It combines having to explore some locations in the first stage, with a combat focused second stage, so your deck has to do well at both.

This quest is rather unique, plus the pack came with an additional contract, so I want to … Continue reading First Impressions: The Hunt for the Dreadnaught
You hear it often that this community is the best there is on the internet. For those that need proof of this, I present you with the AleP (A long-extended Party) project. This idea was spearheaded by Seastan back in September 2019 when it was announced that the game would go on a hiatus after … Continue reading A long-extended Party
There are often moments on podcasts where the hosts are discussing cards and take 5 minutes to gush over the art on an audio podcast.
