Back in the Saddle: DLC Richmond Lessons + Winterspell Pre-Release Predictions

We’re back, and recording from a brand-new home base: Clickstream Studios. In this episode of Happy Questing, Danny Tripodi, Andrew Buchmann, and Brandon Barba recap our trip to DLC Richmond, the wins, the whiffs, the prize wall grind, and the biggest lesson of all: you can’t control what your opponent queues into.From there, we zoom out on Set Champs season for Set 10: Whispers in the Well, what felt strong, what fell off, and what we learned about comfort picks vs. last-minute deck swaps.And because Winterspell pre-release is today (Feb 13), we dig into what’s next:Why we think aggro is about to surge, and how it might still get kept in checkThe Underdog mechanic and why “on the draw” just got way scarierThe cards we’re most excited (and worried) about: Grandmother Willow, Lilo support, John Smith, Raging Storm, Moana, and Danny’s personal crusade: Tod, finally an Emerald legendary worth believing inWhether Blue/Green control still has legs in a faster metaAnd a spicy rules corner: the deck-out rule change, the new damage language (deal/put/move/take), and why everyone suddenly needs to announce their actions like it’s courtPlus: travel stories, draft highlights, “VIP package” skepticism, and the usual Upsider chaos.Happy Questing!
