June 26, 2020 by
Community Spotlight
“Synergy” is a very nebulous term, so this week the cast dives into the finer points of the deckbuilding template to examine how many card slots a deck tends to devote to its multi-part strategy. How many cards in your deck should help enable the deck in the first place, and how many do you […]
