Into the North - Episode 14: Threat Assessment

In this episode, we go deep into talking about some good old fashioned Threat Assessment!

Learning how to judge the other players at the table is a big part of playing cEDH, and it's not always easy! Join us as we cover strategies for assessing threat and how to act based on those assessments.

This episode, we also quickly cover some of our favorite cards from Throne of Eldraine, while also miserably failing to keep the episode as short as possible.
