Hi everyone. I'm back from my time wandering the shadowlands. For today I want to discuss one of the biggest changes to the game which is the restricted list. One of the reasons why I went on break is that the game had gotten stale for me. As soon as I saw what Stronghold my... Continue Reading →
Card in Focus: Asako Diplomat
For our third card and our first non-lion card we have the Asako Diplomat. This has been one of my favorite cards in Phoenix and enables potentially devastating combos. When the card first came out it was misunderstood by Phoenix players and some continue to do leading them to undervalue the card. Stats Asako Diplomat... Continue Reading →
Game Discussion: Top 8 Discord Cup
As many of you probably know season 2 of the discord cup is over. Yours truly got knocked out in the top 8 by the eventual champion wydwen.

Meditations on the Ephemeral Review
Last set is finally out and most of us have had a week or so to test it Jigoku. Congratulations to the Jigoku team for finally getting all the kinks worked out. Looks like the next batch of cards will be released late January or early February so this will be the last review for... Continue Reading →
Fate Has No Secrets Review
Another week and another set of cards. 6 by 6 is almost over and I am preparing to hear complaints about how "stale" the meta has gotten ever since cards are not added to the pool on a weekly basis anymore. On the other hand it might give Jigoku time to catch up so we... Continue Reading →
Into the Forbidden City Review
My last outstanding pack review before I can get back to a more normal writing schedule. I have to say I think it is good that I was able to play with some of these cards first before providing reviews as they allowed me to see some problems and opportunities that you don't normally see...
