The Vanilla Test is an excellent tool to help you evaluate new cards. We use the tool to explain why we love five drops so much.
Jake uses his math degree. Taylor asks YOU for advice. And Baby Ada has finally arrived!

Let's go back to the basics. CABS is a simple framework to help you build a consistent and decent Limited deck. Once you learn the rules, you can learn how to break them.
Jake names the baby. Taylor opens up about the baritone. And the food fights back.
CABS Commandments:
You will NOT have more than 8 uninkables in your deck.
You will have a good mana curve. This will prioritize the two-to-four-ink characters. You will avoid seven-drops.
You will have at least 30 characters in your deck.
You will avoid card-draw spells, build-around locations, lore-reduction cards, do-nothing items, and the like.
Every card in your deck will have a low setup cost. Your cards stand on their own; they don't require any gymnastics to be good.
You will have a simple, clear game plan of gaining 20 lore. No milling or combos—just board control and gaining lore.
You will prioritize efficient cards over situational cards. This means that you want cards that are consistently good rather than cards that are sometimes very good but sometimes very bad.

We catch up for the first time since Atlanta. We discuss Chicago, the Pixelborn shutdown, Set Champs etiquette, BBQ, and my brother's personal war with birds.
Jake uses Reddit to name his kid. Taylor creates the worst analogy of all time for ribs. And Abe makes his first pod appearance.

Taylor is fighting polar bears in the snowswept plains of Minnesota. So we brought on the best Lorcana novice we know - Becky! From LiveLaughLorcana! We chat about Chicago, Side Events, wall prizes, books, and more.
Jake hates on FridgeTok. Becky profanes. And we absolutely nail the intro AND outro.

Welcome to the show, Artabax! To help you prepare for Atlanta and Lille, we dive deep into the Set 3 meta one last time.
