After listening to yet another sterling episode of The Ring Has Chosen (link to the episode), the premiere VS podcast, now available in fresh pine scent, it strikes me that there’s a use for everything, whether it’s immediately evident or not.
Cliff and Squire do a fantastic job entertaining us for a couple of hours each week with their ramblings on decks (deck of the week ftw), events (and why they can’t attend), card art (and Cliff’s love for Suydam and Sayger), etc, but arguably the most anticipated part of their podcast is their set review.
Each time a new expansion comes out for VS, these two podcasting pioneers waste no time in assaulting our eardrums (in a good way, I assure you) with their opinions and impressions of the expansion. This is an invaluable resource to those of us who aren’t able to spend as much time perusing docx’s magnificent search engine, as the TRHC lads espouse pros and cons and dispense nuggets of wisdom for us to gobble up like hungry chooks.
As ever, though, the reviews are their opinions, and there’s always the chance that they’re wrong.
Listening to the review of the generica from DC Legends, they both panned Dirty Tricks and Judgement Day. Now, it’s probably just the Australian in me (we constantly root for the underdog – and by root I’m meaning cheer and support, not the native Aussie meaning of root that I mentioned last week), but it immediately made me think “Hang on, they’re not all THAT bad…”
Cliff and Squire may be largely correct, but dammit, I refuse to write off any card. Read the rest of this entry ?
