What Do You Really Win? | Therapy Session

Some decks have obvious play lines that are potent and to the point, others illicit an obsession, one might even say a cult-like one. Andy takes us into the depths of the Cult of Athreos as he outlines what got him interested in a more nuanced line of play with this Therosian god, which goes well beyond the conventional Shadowborn Apostle + demons lists.

In light of the recent developments with the ban list and the subsequent fallout, Andy and Kyle reflect on how their group seems to have been insulated from the big feelings rippling through the broader community. They outline how a deeper playgroup mission that centers on experience and respect almost gives the group an intuition to avoid the most contested parts of the format. Andy outlines with Kyle a variety of tenets that the group tries to respect and they share their stories and success and failure with those tenets, in this classic LCP episode that waxes philosophical along the way.
