    We're back!  Lots to catch up on! In this episode, we drink Van Ruiten wine, talk about how overoptimistic we are about playing games when on 'vacation' and debrief a play through our home-brewed Paw Patrol and Arkham Horror houses.  We briefly discuss the latest rules FAQ, then dissect the latest crucible cast which announced the high-stakes Vault Warrior tour, defined what an Anomaly is and went into detail about the upcoming procedurally generated cards.   Last but definitely not least Rhiannon talks about her prep for this weekend's Vegas Vault Tour at which she will be wearing clothing from her Mother Mulligan range.  If you see her, come say hello!

    In this episode we forgot to turn the mic on until 34 minutes in.   We celebrate Owen winning Burger Token’s create-a-card competition, which leads into a discussion of some of the home-brewed houses we’re in the process of making.    We talk a bit about Mathemagician Odemm Alummode, which is going to be the subject of our next minisode, discuss how a deck’s win ratio alone could be misleading, look forward to the rules update and speculate about what FFG’s ‘special announcement’ on Sept 26th might be about.https://i.imgur.com//D33jDv4.jpgwww.mothermulligan.comhttps://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/ed97131c-cea6-4a1e-9018-f9b5be011525

We drink Catena wine (our first Mars wine),  talk about the first ever tournament we’ve been able to go to together (Rhiannon 4-1, Owen 0-4) confirm that the Vegas Vault tour is a real thing, discuss Burger Tokens’ wonderful card builder, commiserate with those who have lost cards, and scope out Aember Forge’s card frequency analyzer.Catena card:https:/i.imgur.com/KTH4M6t.pngBurger Tokens card builder:www.burgertokens.com/pages/keyforge-card-builderAember Forge:www.aember-forge.com/card/searchOur website:www.mothermulligan.com

    In this episode, we drink and discuss no less than 3 wines!   We're also very excited about the newly announced Vault Tour in Las Vegas that we might actually be able to go to (in the episode I say it's not on FFG's site, but the site was updated today and it has been added).   Owen watched the Crucible Cast playthrough with two Grand Star Alliance decks - warning, some mild spoilers.  Here are links to a couple of things we mention on the podcast:Rhiannon's nascent Keyforge clothing website:www.mothermulligan.comJack Hammer: An American Hero:https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/jack-hammer-an-american-hero  

    Minisode 1: Permaweb

    Our first minisode!   In these minisodes, we will be having a go at diving a bit deeper into one of our decks.    Up first is Permaweb Golightly-Oxfellow, Governor:https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/879ce89a-4e66-4dc6-afd4-4e7123d6c423It was an interesting first choice as it lost every game it played!  So we talk about what was good, what was bad, some interesting combos and work out when to mulligan.  We also introduce a new spreadsheet breaking out each component of each card which will hopefully lead to some interesting comparisons when it's fleshed out a bit.For comparison, we also talk a bit about this other deck, Teeming Merrigan of the Lake, that trashed Permaweb:https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/ee097cf1-04e5-43c2-9933-f156e7ddd9a4

    In this episode we drink Bonterra wine, which leads to our most contentious “what card would this be?” discussion yet;  we say goodbye for now to Mars and Sanctum; we attempt to redefine what counts as success in mulliganing, and we tease our upcoming midweek minisodes where we pick a deck for the week, play with it a lot and then try to figure out its strengths and weaknesses.   Here's this week's deck:https://www.keyforgegame.com/deck-details/879ce89a-4e66-4dc6-afd4-4e7123d6c423

    In this episode, we drink Brander Merlot (our first Dis wine!), find out at least one of the Untamed animals is actually real, discuss our ongoing struggles with deck evaluation and give an almost spoiler-free first impression of the newly announced next set, Worlds Collide (one Logos card is spoiled because it refers to something we have previously talked about).Hopefully the audio is improved as we've just realised how to turn the microphone on, although it sounds like we've only recorded into the left ear.  Apologies to anyone whose left ear does not work.Enjoy, thanks for listening!

    In this episode, we drink Upper Eden and get a bit confused about what card that would be in Keyforge.  We try to coin a new term, "Streap", for the stun-when-reaping effects of cards like Pip Pip and Aember Imp.   We pit our Cota decks against our AoA decks with some very one-sided results, and discuss who wants to be a judge.

    We drink Chromatic wine, rant about Heart of the Forest (even though it’s quite interesting) and discuss duplicate deck names and infrequent traits.  Here's a question: do you play to time limits in casual play? We had a 1 hour 45 minute game the other day!

    Rhiannon and Owen drink Pacific Redwood, discuss why all wines seem to be from Untamed and then debate why some cards have aember while others don't.Rhiannon thinks it's in order to tempt you into making sub-optimal plays instead of holding onto the card until it's perfectly timed.  Owen thinks it's an occasionally faulty balance mechanism which can lead to overpowered cards.What are your thoughts?  Who do you agree with?  Is there another reason we've overlooked?
