    If you like, like the word like, or like, have like, a thing about like, something that like, like does this or like that, you’ll like, like this and like that.

    Seriously… I don’t understand how someone can say the word “like” so much.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

264. The Menace or The Moment?
Q: Teclo Voss's first calling win—if you watched the game, what could the Jarl have done differently to play around cognition nodes?
The cognition node reads as a very smart inclusion; Jarl would need to anticipate and adapt, potentially saving armor or using reactive tools to blunt the late-game recursion, but exact lines depend on deck building and when the nodes come down.
264. The Menace or The Moment?
Q: Do you think players put too much emphasis on needing new cards to help a mediocre hero and not a meta changing and an old card being good now where it was bad before?
Generally true that people chase new cards because they're excited, but often there are already strong older tools that can make a lot of heroes viable; bands are a frequent overcorrection, while revisiting old cards can unlock surprising builds.
261. MPW is the Gold Standard
Q: Sigma asks if Leviah will be good again and if Tommy would renegade her.
They acknowledge uncertainty and humorously acknowledge the risk of jinxing outcomes, with Tommy noting his past tendencies to play Leviah when she's weaker and less when she's strengthened.
261. MPW is the Gold Standard
Q: Josh L. asks about Bolton support in UwU Serp and IAR.
The response is speculative but enthusiastic about Bolton potentially gaining traction, while acknowledging past patterns where expansion slots reshaped otherwise underused tools; the hosts hope for more love for Bolton.
261. MPW is the Gold Standard
Q: Kapila asks what to expect for the future and whether there will be more guests?
They confirm ongoing weekly format with occasional guests, stressing that the show will continue to feature diverse community voices while keeping the content light and engaging.
