TAZ 3 x 06: Threat Analysis

It's a Deadpool six pack on this week's Attack Zone, complete with more foils and a rare to give away to our fantastic Patreon backers.

Then, Dave, JT, and Mike look at analyzing threats on the other side of the board - both in terms of recognizing win conditions, things that will disrupt your own plans, and what you do when you've figured out what side of the beatdown you're on.

Thanks for listening, and we'll see you in two weeks!

TAZ 3x05: Drafting Competitively

We love draft, we've played draft a lot - heck, we talk about draft on every episode in the form of the six pack! But how should we change our approach when drafts aren't just an event done locally for the denizens of your store, but have sweet PDC Playmats or a US Nationals invite on the line? Dave and Mike take a look at this topic.

But first, the Six Pack and our February Patreon winners - including the winner of those sweet foil WKO prizes that we procured. Check out http://www.patreon.com/theattackzone for all the details on our giveaways.

TAZ 3 x 04: Modern Age & Tactical Play

If you're looking for the Attack Zone, you're looking on the right Tuesday! This week, it's like the old days - Just Dave and Randy - as JT and Mike are dealing with their DM related travels from regional tournaments.

It's a jampacked show today, as we cover both the recent rotation news and how we think it will impact competitive play. Then we talk about tactical play in Dice Masters connected to a classic - perhaps THE classic - CCG article: "Who's the Beatdown?" Dave talks about why he was wrong, Randy agrees with him, and good times are had by all.

It's another Attack Zone! We're in the midst of the Winter phase of the WizKids Open events and people around the country are clamoring for their Nationals invites and their sweet, sweet prizes. This past weekend, Dave, Isaac, and Stuart were all at events, and so Dave gives his usual cohosts the fortnight off for recovery and invites these two to talk all about it.

We also will announce the January Patreon winner - you can find out about that at www.patreon.com/theattackzone - and some very special prizes for the month of February in celebration of the WizKids Open events!
