Beyond the Wall Istaril Darknoj redviper187 Kidd S. Sam B. GKzhukov Worlds 2.0 Podcast
Click here for the podcast.Worlds, part II - this time, we focus on 2nd edition. We go over the news of the week from tournament results, spoilers, a startling revelation about the cards themselves, to new online software. We also recap the Worlds news as it relates to 2.0 in order to provide some context for our guest segments. Which are excellent. First, Varun K. (GKZhukov) joins us to chat about the 2.0 Melee, and why Thrones is better than Conquest. I wrote this before we recorded, so that might not acutally be an accurate description of the segment. Then we get Dan "Kidd" S. & Sam B., followed by Patrick H. (redviper187) to tell us about their experience reaching the top 4 in the joust event. Squeezed in there somewhere is a Tip of the Week for newer players and a review of Dracula's tokens! Finally, we close off with an impressive list of upcoming events, and some exciting information about next week's episode.

Having a spot of Cardgamedb related trouble (ok, let's be fair, it's probably a user error) here, the file is uploaded but inaccessible. Checking with administrators.
Edit: Temporary work around - it's the oddest bug, the site locks me out of anything named E41 (renaming the file to 42 works fine). Refusing to skip ahead to 42, I've temporarily renamed the file 41-1 until this bug can be fixed.
Listening now, thank you for the great content! Cheers.
Swedish meta! Loved the interviews, especially the ones with the Wisconsin guys.
Way to single out poor Varun!
Thank you for shouting out A Noble Cause!
Will tune in in a few minutes.
If you're looking for pictures of the gold tokens, Zeetro R. took some and posted them to our facebook as well.
If Jon wants Tagalog promos, we will darn try our best to make them Tagalog for him.
Left and Right are still awful. And the image for that interview made me very sad.
Left and Right by 1st edition standards are terrible, but they seem to be the starting point for a new design space. Maester Luwin is similar in design. I think its something all us 1st edition players are going to have to get used to...
Sam - a proper curve deck? You mean unlike the one literally everyone else in the cut was running. And Darknoj, you run literally no decks with that curve. What else should I expect from a melee player.
Left and Right are bad, except we don't have Valar, Wildfire isn't that great, Tyrell can draw quite a lot, and they're solid chuds. Combine all of that and you have a decent card. Alex is wrong. Running more than 1 of each? Also probably wrong. If you draw a dead card when you need one and it's that...
Fantastic episode. Great interviews. It was great to hear from Patrick, who had a fantastic run at Worlds. The dual interview between Kidd and Sam was both informative and hilarious. You need to have them on more often.
Nearly as important: SHOTS FIRED AT AARON GLAZER. Burn, boys. Burn.
More important: I am excited to see you both next week! I'm so glad a bunch of you wildlings are coming over the wall for Red Saturday. It is going to be a great tournament. We're closing in on 50 people as of today!
Im not about that lifestyle.
I guess so. I still think that if you are actually playing Left/Right, you want multiples.
Anyways, I'm just making this post because I wanted to thank all the DC boys that Kid and I forgot to thank when we were talking. Thanks Butzlaff, and Corey, and Seth, and Simoni, and Chad, and Wausau Chad, and Dan, and Brian, and Pat, and Aaron, and whoever I forgot when I typed this.
Can't say that melee game was a personal highlight but overall Worlds 2015 was a blast. Grats again on the win, Varun.
Thank you, gentlemen, that was an excellent episode.
I met Sam & Dan at Gencon while we were standing around waiting for the final standings in joust. They politely introduced themselves and just struck up a conversation wherein I learned they were "the two reigning world champs." Super cool genuine guys. Really enjoyed their interview; great work as always BtW!
