Episode 30 - Deck Doctor #2

I need to pause as I introduce this episode to make sure you all know how great my video guy Darren is. This is the second week we’ve had inexplicable problems with rendering and an episode which should have taken us 2 hours to edit ended up taking us 7. This episode came out looking great with a single moment in the middle where we had about 3 seconds of technical problems in the video.

This episode features a budget style deck by Jason Liu, Lee and Trick break it down piece by piece, discussing card choices and if there are perhaps some better options. Take a look at the episode and see what you think!
