  • Great MCP talk

    The Witty Banter crew has a good sense of the competitive MCP meta, and are great to listen to while painting!

  • Horrible Audio

    Enough said, can’t even get past the first 20 seconds. Nothing insightful to gain here, constant awkward silences, David’s takes are just as moronic as on the fanserver.

  • Unprepared and unnecessary yelling

    Listened to one episode. Will not listen again. One guy just yelled into his microphone sporadically in an old man voice which just made the whole podcast annoying to listen to. Wasn’t funny. So loud compared to the rest of the cast it hurt.

    Lots of pauses.

    People appeared I’ll prepared.

    Basically, not worth your time.

    I would recommend half a dozen other podcasts before this one. Danger room, taco truck, strike better, fury’s finest, house party protocol, champagne MCP and 12% of a plan... more

  • Needs work

    Listened to dojoing defenders. The crew couldn’t agree on anything and sounded like they had no idea what they were doing with defenders. Tell them to get rid of BP and then have a discussion on what to do against webs? BP is there to help counter webs. Get rid of sable and then discuss who is on your back point? SABLE should be on your back point. Handing out root, stun, extra attack dice, power, moving your team around. The only good advice I heard was put Bill and Dynamo in. Anyone can give ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

New MCP who dis? Character update coverage, and an HPP/WB crossover!
Q: What affiliation saw the most meaningful improvement after the update?
David argues Convocation benefits the most, thanks to health buffs, Wanda's inclusion, and the overall buff to key members like Emma, Clea, and Strange, which significantly broadens Convocation's toolbox.
New MCP who dis? Character update coverage, and an HPP/WB crossover!
Q: What was the biggest surprise from the updates?
Will highlights Hulk's drastic changes as the standout, noting Hulk's diminished presence in the meta prior to the update and how the new capabilities and cost adjustments could reintroduce him as a central threat in a different role.
Affiliation deep dive and tier list, part 2
Q: If someone wanted to play Dormammu, what one piece of advice would you give them?
Have fun with him. I think he's solid enough, maybe not for an eight threat, but he doesn't feel like he's the worst model in games.
Affiliation deep dive and tier list, part 2
Q: If someone really wants to play Kabal, what's the one piece of advice that you would give them?
Practice a lot of games with Red Skull 3.
