Crit-Bait: The To the End Meta is Bad For the Game.

Chatting Crit: A Steel City Underworlds Podcast

play

09/12/20 • 91 min

Do you hate Control Play? Maybe you think Rebound was a great card? Do you wish Grawl was a Hunter?? Chatting Crit's new series, Crit-Bait, aims to take on divisive and controversial topics and have a good old fashioned debate.
Episode 2 looks at the (in)famous end phase objective To the End. Discussion rages as to whether you should be able to draw cards to score glory when other warbands rely on getting kills or holding objective tokens. Is the deck investment required to pull of these strategies enough of a cost to pay for a very reliable glory engine? Myself and Michael Carlin wage podcast war against eachother to find out the answers, and then bring in Davy Calkins to make sure we did it right! Here's hoping you make it all the way to the end!
