About this episode
The episode recaps George's victory at AdeptiCon 2026 and discusses strategies used in competitive matchups.
In this episode, we recap AdeptiCon 2026, where George claimed the top spot with Kurnoth’s Heralds, and kept Path to Glory’s championship run alive for a fifth straight year. After Aman won twice, Mark added his own title, and George now secured his second, the Path to Glory crew has officially turned AdeptiCon into friendly territory. George breaks down why Kurnoth’s Heralds were the right call for the field, how Emberstone and Cataclysm shaped his approach, and the key decisions that mattered across matchups like Exiled Dead, Starblood Stalkers, and Mollog. From managing passive versus aggressive pairings to sequencing early inspiration and positioning, this is a clear look at how to approach the current meta at a high level. That’s five years in a row, five AdeptiCon titles, three hosts, two editions, and one podcast that just keeps winning. _________________________________________________ Path to Glory is supported by our wonderful patrons on Patreon.
