RP # 066: War of Light, Draft, and YOU!

We talked about our favorite cards (that we knew about at the time) last week, and now it's time to discuss how we expect the War of Light draft to play out. Just as Fantasy Football sites put together their draft kits so that you would know which quarterback to take and who to leave behind, Dave and RJ try to discern exactly what will be prevalent at those War of Light drafts!

We also discuss drafting for rarity vs. drafting to win (which sparks an existential debate within Dave) and what you want to think about when bringing basic action cards to the draft table.

We're thoroughly excited for the War of Light set! And we're even more thoroughly excited to bring you information about a host of cards, including all eight super rares! You can read all about the Black Lanterns right here!

In this episode, RJ moderates a discussion with Dave, Pat, and JT about the super rare cards - what's good? What's bad? And in what order do we rank them?

Next, JT bows out and the remaining trio talk about The Reserve Pool's top ten cards that you'll find in the War of Light booster packs. We all rated these and you'll get our aggregate top ten and a few honorable mentions!

Check out the podcast post on TheReservePool.com to share thoughts and to see images of all the cards that we're spoiling! And, as always, share your thoughts in the comments, on the forums, on twitter @TheReservePool and mailbag@thereservepool.com

RP # 064: Optimism Corps

We have a full panel for discussions today, with enough excitement that we could create our own Optimism-powered Lantern Corps! RJ Retro moderates a panel featuring Dave, Patrick and Isaac.

First, we dig into all of the cards that have been spoiled so far for the War of Light starter set and talk about our favorites - and also the ones that we don't like so much.

Next, we move into the differences between being constructive and negative and simply wearing rose-colored glasses. How can we all help the community, the game, and the company who makes it?

Finally, we get a few words in about our favorite part of the game - the community!
