350 - Swiss Has Some Holes But We Love It Anyway

About this episode

Sydnie and guest DaveC discuss the changes to tournament rules regarding the Swiss format in KeyForge.

This week Sydnie brings on DaveC to talk all about (not the cheese, but) the tournament rules change to "Swiss". After defining what this even means, Dave helps Sydnie break down what was wrong with 2LO, where Swiss both improves and fails to improve the tournament experience, and why we should even care.
