JudgeCast #282 – Unfinity Release Notes

Posted on by

This Wicker Picker with Sticker Kicker makes me want to grab liquor quicker than a city slicker.
In this episode Bryan, Charles, and Samma talk about the latest Un-set from Wizards. Un-sets are no longer goofy fun sets judges can choose to embrace. With the introduction of stickers and attractions into eternal formats, we boldly go where several other podcasts have gone before, and tackle many of the mechanics and rules questions you might encounter now that players have to register your sticker sheets on their decklists.
