DDG: A Pokemon TCG Podcast

Episode 101 is here, and it's a good one! This week we talk about Dragon's Majesty, including some insight behind the sky high singles prices, a Mailbag question involving scarcity, and our Top 5 favorite Dragon's Majesty cards. Which one will end up our number 1? (spoiler alert: Darrin STILL loves Wishiwashi...) Also on this episode we dive into the preparation we are under taking for our first Regional event away from home, and also LGN's first Regional stream. There is an incredibly large number of moving parts that need to come together, but we are confident that the 2018 Memphis Regional event will be one for the books!

Hello Dead Drawers, and welcome to another Deep Dive Podcast with Cameron Shenoy! This time around, Cameron talks with Carl Barone, a seriously strong player based in New York state.

This card has been redefining the meta, but can this card also make a huge impact on Philly? Cam and Carl beef on the subject, and then give their current Top 5 decks in the meta. Thank you and enjoy!
