JudgeCast #261 – Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Release Notes

Join Bryan and Samma on this tour up and down the Sword Coast as we pull up a chair at the Yawning Portal and talk about the new set over a mug of Shadowdark Ale. Behold the new mechanics as we do a Waterdeep dive into some rules you possibly didn’t know, and probably didn’t care about. Don’t forget to Candlekeep on listening as Bryan critically fumbles his way through a recount of the classic tale, “The Head of Vecna”. And finally we talk about the new MTR and Policy updates that came out with the new set.

But if you want to know how Urza’s Saga works under a Blood Moon, or the difference between creating a token, and having a token enter the battlefield under your control then you have come to the right place.
