Ben, Brad, Billy, Nick, and Jay thee Stream God have a round table and give a guide on how to have fun at LC with the various games and activities. Brad (mostly) keeps a handle on the show notes, Nick offers useful and pertinent information, Ben pipes in with his measured takes, Jay explains the nuances of stream wizardry, and Billy cries a bunch. There's a lot of actually useful information peppered in here, none of which is structured in a listenable or practical way.the stream is gonna fuckin' rip: https://www.twitch.tv/duresscrewour shit: https://linktr.ee/duresscrewtalk shit in our voicemailbox: https://www.speakpipe.com/DuressCrew

The only thing Brad and Billy know about About Face is about how pretty our faces are. Luckily for you, dear listener, Travis Schneider has come to indoctrinate us into the Tribe. Hailing from Atlanta, Travis has seen success with a deck he calls the cousin of Flippi.

Filler episode because we're stressed out planning LC? Not a chance! Brad and Billy share the various goings-on in our community.

After listener comments, we close out on the subject of Studio Ghibli.BOOK LODGING FOR LC HERE:https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1733931656182&key=GRP&guestreslink2=true&app=resvlinkTalk shit in our voice mailbox: https://www.speakpipe.com/DuressCrew

Somebody forgot to tell the Red Line Treefolk that Red was dead and Black was bad, so Ian committed a major faux pas and won our tournament with RB Goblins. Brad and Billy have a pleasant chitchat with Ian about PM vibes, crushing cleverboys with an aggro deck, and being good stewards of your local scene.

Jay McCowan leads conspicuous underperformers Billy and Brad on a self-help journey to calibrate our behaviors with our competitive or social goals in mind. Using his experiences from the decidedly un-chill RCQ mosh pit, Jay has a message for the salties, the sweaties, and the stinkers on how to stay chill, or how to recognize when you don't deserve to.our shit: https://linktr.ee/duresscrewtalk shit in our voicemail: https://www.speakpipe.com/duresscrew

In a stunning display of journalistic improvisation, Brad and Billy provide our dear listeners with the hard-hitting content they've come to expect from an institution as august and lauded as Duress Crew. In this case, we have a good 0ld fashioned shoot the shit about ban philosophy, listener comments, context on the current state of the PDAP, and speculator bullshit. After a mouth-watering duressipe, Brad yanks Billy away from the Edenic temptation of a survival terrageddon deck tech.Talk shit in our voice mailbox: https://www.speakpipe.com/duresscrewour shit: https://linktr.ee/duresscrew

Take a seat, gang, this one's a doozy.

All three of us play the same 75 to varying success.Part 3 is a carcast with our two top finishers, Brad (T4) and Nick Pynn (T8 on UNought) chatting with Billy the Undeserving.4c TG List: https://moxfield.com/decks/MAwax2Pmk0uJ2QW7HUzlGwOur shit: https://linktr.ee/duresscrew
