About this episode

Dan and Taylor discuss the worst cards in Grand Archive TCG while reflecting on recent game innovations and events.

Dan and Taylor discuss the results of EMP's Charity Cup and some of our favorite deck innovations seen at the top tables - then after channeling our inner Mark from SolarGames to discuss Angelic Channeling's price, we dive into a fun question - what are the WORST cards in Grand Archive? We love Grand Archive - and are just having fun looking back at some early designs and slight missteps over the game's first 3 years. Let us know what you think missed the most in the comments below!
