Welcome to the Refresh Point! A Weiss Schwarz podcast to chat about the latest news, sets, competitive events, meta shifts, and all kinds of decks, meta or not. In this episode, the Steve has a mild crashout over the news conference and presents a Makeine brainstorm tribal. Note: Due to BCS Houston timing and holidays, this is super late. Oops. Hopefully the next episode will come out pretty quickly after BCS Pasadena (will not include BCS Pasadena).
CONGRATS TO PANDA + CARTER FOR QUALIFYING AT BCS Houston BTW! We’ll have their winner’s interview on the channel alongside this episode as well.

Welcome to the Refresh Point! A Weiss Schwarz podcast to chat about the latest news, sets, competitive events, meta shifts, and all kinds of decks, meta or not. In this episode, the duo has local Bill on the podcast (getting beaten to the punch by level 4 in terms of interviewing him) and speculates about the conference that hadn’t happened at the time of recording but has now happened. Listen to our poor poor speculations go wrong!

Welcome to the Refresh Point! A Weiss Schwarz podcast to chat about the latest news, sets, competitive events, meta shifts, and all kinds of decks, meta or not. In this episode, the duo goes over the (not very recent) BSF Philly and previews the BCS season that they have already started (sorry, Ben will get into the editing dungeon faster after the post BCS Rosemont recording)
NOTE: 10 Stock is not enough for the theoretical whirlwind slam that Ben was considering for the HOL finisher. That specific scenario would’ve required 11 stock (probably 12 given that a brainstorm for the extra hand is also probably slightly likely?) and pretty much everything in hand (or extreme luck).
NOTE 2: GGO reprint came out and the Pitohui situation isn’t much better. RIP all new GGO players.
