  • From hero’s to villains

    U either die a hero (defending pioneer from the jaded modern players), or u live long enough to see urself become the villain (become angry pioneer players who constantly trash modern)

  • Great Podcast for Technical Insight and Funny Convo

    I listen to my podcasts on Android, but fired up an iPad just to write a review to these fellow Big Boys from Texas. I don’t play Modern or Pioneer, but I appreciate their insight in hopes I can build my knowledge up for when Pioneer eventually makes it to Arena. Keep up the great work!!!
