  • Decent Podcast

    Like the show but two areas that I think hold it back. 1) I wish there would be some more back and forth between the hosts. Most of the topics discussed are both hosts agreeing on the same view. 2) Clearly the hosts love the game (as do I) but there never seems to be any discussion on when the game may have missed the mark. I’m not suggesting that the game needs to be trashed but it just comes across that every hero/villian/encounter is great and perfect.

  • Solid content

    These are two of the heavy hitters in the MC community, but the irregular posting schedule means I’m never sure when there’s an episode coming out. Solid content, but clearly YouTube is the platform they prioritize.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 27 How To Know When A Deck is Good?
Q: What key indicators are you looking for to understand if it is a good deck?
I want to see the deck idea come together without awkward turns or anything, ideally performing well.
Ep. 27 How To Know When A Deck is Good?
Q: When you make a bad deck like that, is it something that you then iterate on to try and make it better?
It depends on if it was an absolute, like, horrible mess, or if it had potential.
Ep. 26 Marvel Champions Conventions - Shadow of the Cast VillainTheory and WinningHandPodcast ​
Q: Can you tell us just a little bit about that con, maybe when it is?
It's called MCDC. It's going to be held in Northern Virginia on October 24th, 25th, and 26th.
#25 - The Lore Episode - Lets Talk Comics!
Q: If you are talking to someone like me who has not read, does not know where to start, where would you suggest or recommend they start reading comics?
I think it depends on your preference for art style. If you like older comics, I'd suggest starting with the X-Men's Second Genesis or going for something more recent like the Civil War storyline.
#25 - The Lore Episode - Lets Talk Comics!
Q: What's your favorite book or favorite story arc that you have read so far?
I've been reading some of the X-Men stuff by Chris Claremont, particularly the Phoenix stuff and the Days of Future Past storylines.
