   Episode 20 - A Fireside Chat, Winter(spell) Edition

   Today we’re just vibing. With no big (first-party) tournaments coming up soon, Merlin and Maleficent are a little low energy, even with the release of a new set just around the corner. So now’s a time for reflection on the state of the game. How do you approach new sets that don’t have a competitive tournament associated with it? Maybe the break is worth it to avoid the constant churn and potential burnout. Bolstering the local community with Set Championships could be the appropriate answer, especially compared to how serious the last couple seasons of “DLC Prep” were. So enjoy this lightly-edited, cozy episode while we recharge.

   Episode 19: Rank Decay

   In games with experience points and a ranked ladder, Rank Decay is when a game punishes you for not playing. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It keeps players playing and gives them a reason to engage with the game, even if you’ve already achieved your goals. There’s not a ladder in Lorcana (anymore, RIP Pixelborn), but the same sort of concept could be applied to one’s ability. You might not literally fall down ranks, but your skills do decay over time. But even more than just being rusty when coming back from a holiday break, if you want to achieve a higher level of success, you continuously need to challenge better and better opponents. And the best stage to do that is at a Disney Lorcana Challenge. But what do you do when there’s only three in your country for the entire season? How do you prevent rank decay and, even more importantly, break your current skill ceiling?

   Episode 18: Hidden Mickey: Takebacks

   The hosts discuss Disney's Lorcana Trading Card Game's new downloadable content rule called Takebacks, which creates a more forgiving environment for new players but may not reward tight, correct play.
