Zion's Finest: Episode 113 - This One Doesn't Count

FRIENDS! The final Utah Regional has come and gone, and someone sold his soul to the god of the mercenaries in order to pull home the win. Yes, I know what you're thinking, but I just couldn't run the Box into what was going to be a murderer's row. Scott and Matt were running Vader and the Jets, Joey was running eRiots, AND THE CATS WERE EVERYWHERE.

So I sold out. I ran my Worlds list, and was able to go undefeated on the day, beating Joey in the final.

AND IT WAS JOEY'S LIST THAT WAS THE STORY OF THE DAY. The man's list is nuts, and I cannot wait for you to hear about it.

Joey was able to get through his own murderer's row on the way to the top of the charts, including beating Scott's Vader and the Jets in the Top Four. Yes, it was a nuts kind of day.

Enjoy this one!

Zion's Finest: Episode 112 - Exploding Kittens

Friends. If you are running Hunters or Rebel Heroes, and you run into Cats, may God have mercy on your soul. They are so dynamic, they exert so much pressure, and they are able to remove figures that you cannot protect from an insane distance away.

Jason Brege and JK came on the podcast to talk about them cats, and whew boy am I afraid of what they can do with them.

GOOD LUCK!

Episode 4: Knowledge and Defense 2 - Who's the Beatdown?

Join us with guest star Kenny Brown for another Knowledge and Defense segment!

Zion's Finest: Episode 111 - The Boys Are Back!

What an incredible joy it was to get my brothers back around the horn in order to discuss regional prep. The four of us--Matt, JK, Scott, and I--are running three different lists. We gathered to get reps in in preparation for our regional tournament in three weeks and boy did we have fun.

We break down our lists, with particular emphasis on JK's theft of David Gao's kitties and Matt and Scott's running of Vader and the Jeeeettts. You are going to love listening in on this one.

Built On Hope Radio - 3. Beast Tamer

Hello there listeners and welcome back to Built on Hope Radio. I hope you're enjoying the academy episode this week, here is a little bonus episode from when I was having a chat with my wookie friend about list building. -D

Zion's Finest: Episode 110 - An Eagle Eye, A Champion Heart

There is one person on this planet who still thinks that Han Rangers has play on Maul's map. That's right. One. We all know this person, who is of course Isaac Borno. Despite my protestations, he truly believes that Han Rangers has what it takes to make it all the way--no matter the map. I know, I know, I think he is insane as well.

Welp, turns out Isaac not only talks a good game, but walks that game. In fact, he walked it all the way to Lyon, France in order to storm French Nationals.

As someone considering giving Han Rangers a go this regional season, I tried to pick his brain to get a clue as to how to make Maul's map work, which I think is pretty tough to do. Listen in for Isaac's tips and report on French Nationals.

Thank you!
