We break down the current meta, talk Seekers and terrain, share what the data is telling us, and chat about how to sharpen your game. The new reinforcement cards have shaken up the Malediction meta. In this episode, we dig into September's data from 11 tournaments and leagues: Thundersteps' breakout month, Polinore's steady results, why Vorendal was the most played Seeker but still lost more than he won, and why Londriel's low win rate probably says more about who's playing her than how strong she is. We also cover new deck archetypes for Griza, Kar-Mamok, and Auric, In'gor as a sleeper pick, the most played cards, standout matchups, and why Noxious Fleshgardens was September's best-performing terrain. Plus, our favorite and least favorite reinforcement cards, and the Seekers to watch in October. 📋 Decklists and links mentioned Wapotes' 3-0 Kar-Mamok TTS tournament list: https://malediction.gg/play-network/d...
