Great point about determining how good a deck is based off the quanity of tops versus the quallity. Just because a 1 deck "specialist" can top tournaments gives more information on the olayer versus the deck. When the bucky deck was around, everyone was winning because the deck was insane. Now i feel like the meta is pretty decent with any deck having a chance to take down the tournament. Also agree that with how hard it is to really teat, over testing and going too deep on levels can actually backfire. Basically how zan said just play the best deck because the player base is slow to metagame and react agains the best deck so playing the deck that is good against the counter to the best deck may be too far removed 😝. My roommates and I went too deep into the testing process when we played magic and our decks became "inbred" is what I called it 🤣🤣🤣 Also Zan saying "They were jn the stone ages" when referring to the LCQs across the pond 🤣🤣🤣 About half way through the episode, just wanted to leave a comment before i forgot my thought process. Keep it up boys, and I believe in you Jeremy! Don't give up

If it wasn’t obvious already, this episode proves Zan doesn’t have kids yet. I get making a kid work for it improves morale and develops skill, but you also need to balance enthusiasm and interest. If you keep smacking the ball out of the kids hands (to use the basketball analogy he used in the video) then that kid will lose patience and move onto the next thing. If your goal is to kill the next generation then keep doing that. Also Pokémon does mini sets all the time and they do extremely well. Super easy to get and buy cards in TCGplayer. Not sure what the whole problem is, it’s nice to have a small break every now and then and throw in a few meta cards and not have a huge bombshell every time. The bombshells are fun yes but I’m just saying a break is also fine, makes the next big set more exciting.

wow so crazy how Zan again came up with the same top list

$&@? them kids lmaooo

Zan I respect your opinion but you kind of just yapping with this overwatch and Marvel rivals thing I have well over 1000 hours on overwatch seeing as I’ve been playing since 2016 and I got almost 100 hours on Rivals already if the game isn’t for you then it’s not for you but saying that overwatch is better is absolutely insane

I get the not throwing games away for a kid thing, and completely agree. They could have told the kids pre-game that they are conceding and want to just play for fun. The thing is, if that was cheating, then Gentleman's agreement on dlc day 1 is also cheating. Which I think it is.

Are you thinking of changing the list now that you lost purple steel?

Love the content guys, thank you

how is Zan actually getting trolled over the favorite character bit?

this episode gave way less of a secret pod feel :(

I’m not sure annihilating a kid to the point they have no fun makes the game better lol. Dick move… if you are good enough you can at least carry them through the game and make it feel close.

The underselling of Marvel rivals is crazy, it’s 10x better than overwatch

My daughter (10) won a tournament because 2 people conceded, she was so happy, but I’ll be honest. Like Zan was saying, she’s now even more rigid about her card choices. I don’t know if that would have continued if she went 2-2 that night, but it’s a tough call as adults playing kids. I have done it before myself in practice, but now on league night I’ll give the younger player a foil card or something after and cheer on their good sportsmanship in the game

I liked the discussion on choosing decks, in future episodes I would be interested in more breakdown of the meta decks matchups and advice on selecting for tournaments. Locals don't always have a full meta representation, mine only have one Sapphire player (Ruby/Sapphire) for example with the vast majority playing the two amber/steel varients or hyper aggro, so I’d appreciate insight on what decks perform well without specific colors present for example, and which cards would be added/removed in different meta decks when planning for different matchups.

zan should put a decklist f or emerald steel

NA did not beat EU lol everyone from EU knows. EU beat NA players way more times throughout.

🎉

Is there an updated deck list ?

I'm a fan of 2 out of the 3 hosts.

They have the same spider man ride in DCA

Hmmm do we have his new version of green steel he has been talking about? It’s not on ikdecks, not on dreamborn

Can't wait to see Jeremy and Zan at Worlds

Awesome to see top players having such a good influence. Y'all should be proud

Question fro Zan: it sounds like you had some bad variance in the first LCQ with green steel, on top of your opponent getting very, very lucky. What made you decide to abandon the deck so quick given that if it hadn't been for bad luck on your end, and good luck on your opponents end, you would have continued to roll. I know you mentioned that you saw a lot of Amber Steel in the room, so I certainly understand RS being a good choice, but GS-Doc/Mine seems like a great pic into a heavy AS field as well. Will you do a deck tech on the GS-Mine version? I'd love to learn more. Thanks for the amazing insight as always!

Was a pleasure meeting you!

Loved the podcast!! Such a bummer to hear about your LCQ experience. I was really hoping to watch you play at the feature table.

Amazing podcasts. I was laughing out loud at the seating snafu. Zan you are amazing with how you deal with people even when you are under pressure. I appreciate that people are like this in Lorcana. This is not how MTG events go for sure.

Do you guys post your deck lists anywhere? I'm curious about this draven mine decklist.

Are lists staying private from now until after worlds?

Been so excited to hear this episode and how things went! Sorry to hear it shook out that way, but you excitement for where Green Steel is sitting makes me so excited! Any chance we can see a list for what yall cooked up for that first round of LCQ’s GreenSteel with the Dwarven Mines?

Can't tell you how much this resonates with me based on my experience in Seattle playing at the wrong table round 1. Best of luck at NA Continentals and Worlds Zan!

Ryan is great! Bring him on more!

Great episode fellas! Ryan is a great addition!

Thanks for the mention! I knew I could win on the play, the deck isn't designed for OTD vs RB so you just hope to split or win the die roll. After I lost it yea I thought the run was over. My only hope was that your build was greedier at the top end and u miss some ramp, which did happen in game 1, then I was just fishing for deck knowledge by that point as I was gonna lose. Noticed you didn't have hideaway or you never inked/played so used that to my advantage. Game 2 yea OTP I think im just fast enough to win so I go for it. Then I did actually need a bathroom break haha, I thought I was gonna lose that game 3 but wanted to give it my best shot. Leaned in on you having no hide away and somehow managed it with your unfortunate inks on the maui's. But you for sure had me shook from the moment I noticed you was one of the lads who came across with Zan lol why I asked if you are a magic pro or something. My real name is Adam lol.

Shout out HarleemSweete!

Just started the Pod!!! Glad you guys are back babbyyyy! Great point by Zan at 4:12 talking about the nuances of a deck being good based on different formats. I.E. good for the LCQ versus being good for day 1 of the championship vs top 16 of the championship. A follow up question explaining that more would have been 🔥 and it brings me back to Zan talking about Seattle and how the deck that has a higher percentage to day 2 is not necessarily the deck that has the highest percentage to win the whole thing. Also, you are a great host Jeremy! The comedy experience definitely lends itself to co hosting the podcast! (I still haven't looked into your comedy yet. You have any specials? Plug them!)

Alright real talk, love you guys and this content, but at LCQ hit me up I can teach you to get best this month on Spider-Man, I need a team 😂

We didn't default to green steel, but also we started with green steel 🤣🤣

Looking forward to Zan's Metafy

by far the best podcast 50:19 such a funny moment

New blank wall! 💜💙❤️💚💛🩶

I saw that mine at the lcq and was like „damn they cooked something there“

You're both wrong - it is a 'GANTU-let' 😂 (Wow, that is a terrible joke, even by my standards) I agree with Zan about the bye. I had an opponent not show up at Birmingham and everyone said that was great, but I had paid to play. I just scouted the room, well as much as possible, a bit difficult with so many.

Not gonna lie.. I thought this was the same room just looking at a different wall hahaha... looks and sounds great guys, can tell its only gonna get better. Thanks for the content!!

Didn't get to play Zan but a friend did. I was shocked when I heard what had happened, but the whole tables situation led to people sitting at the wrong table all Friday. And even looking at Melee on the phone doesn't cut it, as many people just say "yeah yeah" and don't look. I lost my LCQ final so unfortunately didn't get to make the Euro, but the Revival tournament was fun. PS: that Spider-Man ride is incredible, it's my favorite.

I played Ryan on the bubble at Seattle, was my first DLC and he was super chill and cool about me taking time on my turns. Thank you very much.

It is good that Americans begin to experience our pain dealing with Fanfinity running our events though

The tables were confusing af. From LCQ 1 Round 1 I showed every opponent my melee page and was like "Is this you?"

Get a picture of the old wall on that wall

Jeremy’s bathroom mindgame is unhinged lmaooo
