It's time for Episode 46 of The Winning Point! RQ Sydney is finally here — and with it comes one of the most interesting Riftbound metas we’ve seen so far.

Two Regional Qualifiers have come and gone, and we're finally back and more or less well-rested enough to talk about them. It's not a secret that some of us work on the Riftbound shows or travel to compete in them, but there are definitely stories that come out of the events that are being revealed in this episode. For example: did you know Blevins was the reason Alanzq was late to accept his award in Bologna? We also talk about the discourse on Metal Cards... again.
