This week Daniel (Stormraige23_hs) is out of town which unfortunately means no show... BUT we take a look back at some of the favorite moments throughout the year.. including all of our amazing guests! We hope you enjoy this clip show! This year in review features: Ridiculous Hat, Unicorn Lindsay, Loremaster Eve, Botticus, Andrew (from the Happy Hearthstone), MageaDeath, Nate Wolfe, Craig/Cliff of Canada, Justin Briscoe, Spivey, and of course Rod Johnston

Jack (@maionegames) couldn't make it this week so Daniel (@Stormraige23_hs) and Lord Gribas (@lordgribas) are joined by a very special Botticus (@Botticushs). With a whole hour (sometimes less) of the expansion we feel pretty confident in knowing exactly what the meta will be (but we don't)... It's silly as always and loaded with plenty of magic refernces, dick jokes, and Daniel getting his furry on.
