Solely Singleton

On this episode of Solely Singleton, the gang goes over all the relevant cards from STX and C21. Of course, they continue the trend of never padding runtime with chaff while also combining different chaff to save runtime. Highlights include: Brad pronouncing a name so foreign that even its owner abbreviates it on his own YouTube channel; Eric finally gets a chance to show off his knowledge of Magic DeepLore; entirely current cultural references; Brad talks about his favorite hexproof alternative (wart? mole? whatever the Frost Titan ability is called) and the merits of patron pest tokens; Brad expressing his true feelings for Pioneer; and Brad completely understanding that the first three powers of two are not two, four, and six. Most importantly, though Eric never stumbles, repeats words, changes sentences halfway through, or ends his sentences with congested pig noises and Audacity’s noise filter definitely caught all of Brad’s lip smacks so that BowTie could spend his valuable time applying for a better jo

On this episode of Solely Singleton, the gang goes over all the Kaldheim cards that their loyal listeners and viewers sent in reviews for. Despite being one of the most overpowered sets of the past 24 hours, Brad and Eric still underrate it. Highlights include: everyone’s favorite god of storytelling, Briggy; the Phyrexian Praetor, Vornaclex; Brad being completely in-touch with constructed card pricing; and Brad most certainly remembering that saga “steps” have an actual name and are called “chapters”. I hope you’re ready for a mix of sausage and stroke jokes in disturbingly correlated quantities! 00:30 - Intro 01:52 - Preface 02:56 - White 16:05 - Blue 19:37 - Black 23:04 - Red 32:30 - Green 41:02 - Gold 47:18 - Lands 49:16 - Final Thoughts 51:57 - Outro   Show Links:   Solely Singleton Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/SolelySingleton Magic Only Feed of Solely Singleton: http://solelysingletonmtg.libsyn.com/   Season 14 Show Notes InkedGaming Affiliate Link: https://www.inkedgaming.com/collectio

Just like the last D&D set, your hosts will demonstrate a comprehensive mastery of the lore and an affinity for all cards that require a d20.

In this episode, Brad and Eric make a case for why GW should make the 40k rules free and how GW could implement it.
