TAZ 2 x 03: Frederick the Great

Frederick the Great? How does he fit in with Dice Masters? I guess you'll have to listen and find out! Rest assured, this fits with a weakness that at least one of us identified and exemplified.

This might be our shortest podcast description ever! Hence, this filler sentence.

Thanks for joining us, and we'll see you again in two weeks!

TAZ 2 x 02: Netdeck, Net-LEARN!

The Attack Zone returns for the second installment of its second run.

Today, we start by checking some homework to see who is responsible and who is procrastinating. Then, JT takes the center chair to bring up the topic of deck evaluation and netdecking. Given that two of the three of us find from-scratch deckbuilding to be a weakness, this is important for us, and we're sure that it's important to a lot of you, too.

Thanks for joining us, and we'll see you again in two weeks!

TAZ 2 x 01: Real Talk

The Attack Zone returns to The Reserve Pool, featuring the same competitive topics - but told through a completely new perspective. Instead of just presenting topics and working through them, we're looking more specifically at how we can use those topics to improve our own abilities with this game.

Our discussion today kicks off the new season and, hopefully, gives you the opportunity to play along at home! First off, we set our goals for ourselves so that we have an end in mind to plan for. Next, we talk about our strengths and weaknesses as players and how we can use one another to learn and improve our individual Dice Masters game.

TAZ # 008: Quadrant Theory, Revisited

A different sort of Randy joins in for this episode! After some extensive Age of Ultron conversations, we bring in a "level up" episode to help us all build our Dice Mastery.

We begin with an Age of Ultron six pack as the draft format for this set continues to become much clearer. What's our pick? Find out!

Our feature discussion is about a topic we first discussed months ago on The Reserve Pool to positive response: Quadrant Theory, a great way to help us evaluate cards. In this episode, we go into how it can be used as a tool when drafting or building teams.

TAZ # 007: AoU Meta-Impacting Cards

It's another Attack Zone, covering the A to Z of competitive Dice Masters! First, Dave and Randy check out an Age of Ultron six pack and discuss some of the ins and outs of AoU Draft. Then, we examine some of the cards that people have been discussing that could influence the constructed meta - Jocasta, Thanos, Gladiator, Wasp, Ultron Drone, Captain America and the sought-after Magneto! What do we think? Find out!

TAZ # 006: Draft-Impacting Commons & Uncommons

It's Age of Ultron release week and that means that there WILL be drafts! With a new set comes new synergies and new ideas. To that end, we examine some commons and uncommons that we think will have an impact on the draft format. It's still early, so who knows how it holds up over time - but it's a conversation that we must have! But first, a six pack for Dungeons & Dragons Dice Masters - one of the best sets that you aren't drafting!
