Season 2 Episode 3 The main topic begins around 41 minutes.  Do you miss the days of Thrulls, Thallids, and Homarids? Do you like to shake your fist at the sky because kids these days don't know how Banding works? Do you think a 1/3 for 3 mana is about right? Then, boy-howdy, do we have the cube for you! FALLEN EMPIRES REMASTERED! We return to the Dominaria continent of Sarpadia as the Ice Age is approaching. 360 cards--nearly singleton (arts). We took the best of Fallen Empires and added some win conditions (but not too many of them, because we still want you to play Fallen Empires cards).
