This week Hayden and Brendan review all the commons and rares for the upcoming limited set Part the Mistviel; Each card gets a rating from A to D.
A is the best of the best, these cards are ones that will be the focal point of your deck in limited and have an impact more so then any other card in a game. You might think of these as âbombsâ in FAB context these are auto includes, things that make you want to actively pursue the class if they are class specific - Think Refraction Bolters, Enlightened Strike, Crippling Crush, Heartened Cross strap, Drone of Brutality, Soul Reaping, V of the Vanguard, Awakening. These cards wonât necessarily stand alone and win you the game, but could swing a turn, gain massive advantage,help initiate a massive pivot turn, create huge setup situations and/or allow other cards to shine because of them. UPR would be Fyendals fighting spirit, Sash of Sandikai, Red Brothers. OUTSIDERS - Death Touch Red, Infectious Host Red, Lace with Bloodrot, Shake Down, Mechanical Strength, Hydraulic Press, Torque Tuned, Bare Fangs Red, Good Time Chapeau, Prized GaleaWith the right combination of attack reactions and attack actions Refraction Bolters can be pivotal in a huge double weapon attack turn to push damage and get a dawnblade counter, or even kill the opponent. Without it you need another card to get that go again effect. Soul reaping can for example paired with strong blood debt cards and perhaps a 2nd go again source deliver a massive pivot turn.Bâs are above average role players, and cards important to an overall strategy for any given hero, or in the form of a generic. These cards could also be super efficient, above rate cards or even cards that can support maximising your Aâs - examples would be Take Flight red, Warmongers Recital, Gallantry Gold, Sink Below red, Snatch, Scar for a Scar, Goliath Gauntlets, Disable Blue, Salvage Shot Red, Plunder Run red, Turn Timber, Bramble Spark and Ball Lightning Embermaw Cenapai red, Mounting Anger Red, Aether hail blue and red. OUTSIDERS: Red Twin Twisters, Infecting Shot Red, Infect Red, Junkyard Dog, Out Pace, Evo Charging Rods, Wild Ride red and yellow, raw meat, stonewall impasse, concuss redCâs are your true role players, they will make up most of your deck and support your overall plan, provide good resources, help defensively or be an OK attack, or support action. These are cards like Ghostly Visit, Smash with Big Tree, Cross the Line, Brandish red, Come to Fight red and blue, Cadaverous Contraband, Sink Below yellow, Throttle red, Scalding Rain red and blue, Smash Instinct Yellow, Debilitate blue, Surging Strike red, Shock Striker,Frost Fang, Earthlore Surge, Brain Freeze Blue, Dust Runner outlaw, Miragi. OUTSIDERS: Sedate Red, Surging Strike Red, Skybound Shot red, or spire sniping blue, Dumpster Dive, hadron collider, Test of Strength, Agile Engagment, Wage Vigor yellowDâs are the cards you want to play as little of as possible, pure filler with no real upside, these cards donât do much and are often only in the deck to make up numbers as resources or a card to defend with. Examples are Seek Horizon Yellow, Frontline scout, Memorial Ground, Outmuscle Yellow, Nimble strike blue, Wounded Blow yellow, Sharpen Steel blue, Head Jab yellow, Emerging Power yellow, Bloodspill Invocation blue, Rejuvenate Blue, Chill to the Bone Yellow Yellow brain freeze, yellow sand cover, rebellious rush, liquefy at the minus end OUTSIDERS: Bleed out yellow, Blue brush off, Spinning wheel kick blue, Cognition field yellow, Zero to Fiffty, Evo Buzz Hive, Adrenaline rush, bare fangs blue, yellow performance bonusSet up grade - we will also give some cards set up grades, so a grade but contingent only on getting the right supporting build to see this card realise its full potential in a limited deck. Examples would be Overload red, Rise above, Glisten to an extent, Tear Limb from Limb, Moon Wish & Sun Kiss in Limited Kano, Maximum Velocity, Hurricane Technique, Tome of Fyendal, Channel Thundersteppe, Embolden Sigil permafrost, Phoenix Form, OUTSIDERS: Bonds of Ancestry, Amplifying Arrow, Toxicity (to an extent), Smash and Grab, Overload Script, Rising speed, trade in redSideboard Grade - Pure SB card with a grade, Blinding Beam, Eclipse Existence, Ray of Hope, Talisman of Dousing, Cold Wave Blue, Sow Tomorrow Red and Rites of Replenishment, Sigil of Protection, Singe OUTSIDERS: yellow infectious host, yellow peace of mind, Autosave Script, bad NAA maybe from HVYPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/ArsenalPass

Pro Tour LA is this weekend! There's a storm brewing and we have Sam to guide us through both in the podcast this week and the booth for the event. We discuss the nature of split format testing and preparation as the PT looms. There's a sense of uncertainty in the air, and we provide some clarity and Sam helps guide us through. We set the stage for which heroes and players to keep your eye on - and we even get a few additional thoughts on Halo from Branden.

Choose your weapon!
The decision tree for which deck to choose has many potential branches and pitfalls. While there are some rewards to being a specialist, the ability to pivot to or lock in the right deck early can provide a massive edge toward doing well in any event. Metagame prediction plays a part, but even if you have perfect information you still need to select the right deck with that knowledge. As we examine the philosophies that we have used (and will use in the future) hopefully it can help pave the way to clarify deck selection for you!

The Kano Council has convened and our favorite firelord friends have submitted Peter Buddensiek to discuss potential decks for Pro Tour Los Angeles. There are plenty of decks that are worth exploring and some of the basic deck philosophies might surprise you. Ultimately, Peter helps us answer THE question in this format: what is "cope" what what has "hope". Magnolia Games (Code: arsenal10): https://magnoliagames.com/?ref=XMBeRO_Sek1QXr

Two podcast hosts. One two time National Champion. Tariq Patel joins us this week to discuss almost every hero available and all our thought processes as we evaluate what's developing. Don't miss our thoughts on navigating an open, complex metagame. We even get Tariq to admit what deck he would register if the Pro Tour was tomorrow (Hayden would just jam Rhinar).Magnolia Games (Code: arsenal10): https://magnoliagames.com/?ref=XMBeRO_Sek1QXr

We have results, data, and a sponsor. While additional data came to light after the recording session, that doesn't stop our lively discussion for the metagame this week. Fatigue as a strategy, what the different levels are in the current results and deep dive on all of the decks that keep showing up on the updating living legend list.

Prism has entered the chat - and we have a lot to say. We discuss draft strategy, how Kayo serves as an efficient gatekeeper, why Bravo is ever present and why aggressive styles might be struggling to find a hero to rally around. This metagame continues to twist and turn - so Hayden and Brendan will continue to tell "it like it is" for this Classic Constructed format.
