Common Ground 75: Spy Combo 101 with Hunter Bisch
05/15/25 • 88 min
Welcome back Pauper fam! After a quick Game Cave monthly recap from Cameron and Hippo, we sit down with our local combo expert Hunter Bisch to chat about the Spy Combo decks, their history, play patterns, and how to beat them. With the emergence of the new 5 and 6 land versions of the deck, it felt like a great time to learn what these crazy lists are all about. This was a great chat and we hope y'all enjoy the episode!
