Solely Singleton

This episode is dedicated to Ben for all the amazing work he has done for the MTG Cube community.   On this episode of Solely Singleton, Brad and Eric give a brief guide on their favorite drafting format, Minespweer Draft! Like the name implies, the draft starts with a grid of cards that get turned over as you draft leading to a drafting format that really spices up the draft! Want to learn more?

In this episode of Poorhammer, Brad walks Eric through how to finally retake the holy land. Eric is ignorant of the topic, but what else is new!

On this episode of No-Longer-Solely Singleton, Brad and Eric have a freeform discussion about cards from the year that cube forgot. With a runtime of just under 52 minutes, that’s almost a set a minute! Highlights include: finally updating Brad’s cube; getting a bit closer to the basics of cube; Brad finally expressing his #StunningandBrave feelings towards Boros; Brad (once again) forgetting that KLD is Kaladesh and Kaldheim is KHM; and, for once, Eric is the one forgetting how cards work. Hopefully this episode will remind you what brought you here in the first place; have fun! 00:30 - Intro 01:19 - Main Topic46:59 - Outro   Show Links:   Season 13 Show Notes InkedGaming Affiliate Link: https://www.inkedgaming.com/collections/artists/solely-singleton?rfsn=4880595.65410f&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=4880595.65410f   Solely Singleton Website: https://www.solelysingleton.com/ Solely Singleton Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SolelySingleton The Starter Cube (2021 Editio

In this episode of Poorhammer, Brad and Eric go over their thoughts and impressions of Crusade in WH40k. The hosts have been playing campaigns for the past few months now and while it may not scratch the same itch as competitive play, they’ve found it to be a great palette cleanser. However that’s not without its caveats, so stick around and join us as they prepare for Crusade! 00:15 - Intro 01:26 - Crusade Discussion 31:23 - Outro   Show Links: Solely Singleton Website: https://www.solelysingleton.com/ Solely Singleton Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SolelySingleton   InkedGaming Affiliate Link: https://www.inkedgaming.com/collections/artists/solely-singleton?rfsn=4880595.65410f&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=4880595.65410f Our Producers for October: Robert Bentura Taleno Daniel McKinnon Our Biggest Supporters: Phizzled Gwen Dekker Squerson Andrew Pope Spootyone JeFF Stumpo   Our Supporters: Riku Ed Yoon Gbrell Kyle Melton Todd Krause Robbie Hardy Angelo Benedetti Conne

In this episode of Poorhammer, Brad and Eric do a quick overview of the situation surrounding the competitive health of Orks and Grey Knights. Both armies recently got their 9th edition codices and seem to be doing well competitively, but many fans are unhappy with their internal balance.

On this episode of Solely Singleton, Brad and Eric discuss some of the feedback they received on Brad’s hottakes last week. Brad’s only human and misread some cards last week, but for others he is digging his heels in!

On this episode of Poorhammer, Brad and Eric give an overview of the Cults in the new Thousand Sons Codex! The Thousand Sons are some of the first Chaos armies to receive a new codex and have some really interesting and compelling ways to craft your list. While there may be some outliers power level wise, Brad and Eric have been trawling forums and discords to bring you some interesting build ideas with each cult. So open up your signed copy of the Wrath of Magnus and let's get smiting! 00:15 - Intro 01:34 - Cult of Mutation 16:06 - Cult of Prophecy 19:24 - Cult of Time 25:37 - Cult of Scheming 32:52 - Cult of Magic 39:59 - Cult of Knowledge 44:20 - Cult of Change 49:10 - Cult of Duplicity 56:49 - Cult of Manipulation 01:04:05 - Outro   Show Links: Solely Singleton Website: https://www.solelysingleton.com/ Solely Singleton Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SolelySingleton   InkedGaming Affiliate Link: https://www.inkedgaming.com/collections/artists/solely-singleton?rfsn=4880595.65410f&utm_source=refersion

On this episode of Solely Singleton, Brad and Eric give us the Old Yeller treatment with a bunch of ASMR about Minecraft mods. Specifically, they hit enthralling topics like the history of Minecraft and their personal life story (or at least the parts involving blocks). If you want any more information than that, you’ll just have to listen for yourself, since I passed out in the first 10 minutes and didn’t wake up until the Patreon plug.

On this episode of Solely Singleton, Brad and Eric finally use the data that they’ve been hounding you guys about for months. Aside from the card discussion (which I shan’t spoil), topics include: Brad having a stroke; Eric getting epilepsy; Brad trying to break Eric’s long standing record of Uhhhhhs that need to be edited out; outdated movie references; Brad neglecting the poor (as usual); a surprise Legends Single Card Discussion; our lord and savior, Parcelbeast; mispronunciations of cards that are over a year old; BowTie being disappointed that they neglected Bonder’s Ornament, even though it’s one of the best rocks for pauper players; Brad still hating his audience; and Eric still hating himself.

On this episode of Solely Singleton, Brad and Eric go completely off script and do a review of Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector by Black Lab Games! The hosts did have another topic planned for this week's episode but Eric just had to ask Brad what games he’s been playing. The resulting discussion then turned into a usable review of Battlesector that I hope all of our audience will find something enjoyable. For those of you looking for more Magic content, if everything goes according to plan, we’ll have the IKO/C20 postmortem episode next week. Just in time for the WOTC Set Announcement Stream and the start of the next spoiler season.   00:30 - Intro 01:41 - Battlesector Review 28:53 - Outro   Show Links: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1295500/Warhammer_40000_Battlesector/    Season 13 Show Notes InkedGaming Affiliate Link: https://www.inkedgaming.com/collections/artists/solely-singleton?rfsn=4880595.65410f&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=4880595.65410f   Solely Singlet

On this episode of Solely Singleton, Brad and Eric do a special double-single-dual card discussion about two potential problem cards in the starter cube, Ætherling and Grafted Wargear. While this episode may be a bit concise, due to the arrival of new mics that (mostly) make my job easier, the runtime is still jam-packed with everything you’ve come to tolerate. Such as, Brad begging for better more editors; THE FUTURE*; jabs at Arena; hate-drafting advice from people who hate drafting; mic feedback; driver’s ed tips; desperate pleas for IKO data; and, of course, an absolute butchering of the aesc ligature.

S13E3 – The Starter Cube (2021 Edition) On this episode of Solely Singleton, Brad and Eric go over the 2021 edition of the Solely Singleton Starter cube! For those who are unaware, the starter cube is a $120 budget cube that Brad and Eric designed back in S8E3. Like many things in life however, the price of the cube has slowly ballooned since then. So with the help of the Patreon Discord the crew have made a few changes and upgrades to the cube to bring it back under that $120 price point. Brad and the discord were able to fit a lot of sweet and spicy cards this time, so stick around and listen in!  The Starter Cube (2021 Edition)00:30 - Intro 02:53 - Overall Changes 16:11 - White 20:00 - Blue 23:07 - Black 27:04 - Red31:41 - Green35:52 - Multicolored 40:45 - Colorless + Lands48:04 - Outro   Show Links:   Season 13 Show Notes InkedGaming Affiliate Link: https://www.inkedgaming.com/collections/artists/solely-singleton?rfsn=4880595.65410f&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=48

Brad and Eric do their best to generate hype for a game they actually play, Path of Exile! As this week is the start of the Expedition league, your hosts will be bumbling through the lore, providing totally accurate descriptions of the league’s mechanics, going over the new nerfs, arguing over what builds will be the best, and (of course) whatever the PoE equivalent of misreading cards during hot takes is. And, since Strixhaven made it evergreen for some reason, they will even complain about Ward in a Magic-less episode! If you aren’t too busy actually playing the new league, feel free to listen to these idiots talk about it so you can live vicariously through them instead of just buying the free game!   00:30 - Intro01:44 - General League and Mechanics Description 17:13 - Nerfs 19:39 - Builds 40:39 - Final Thoughts 43:06 - Outro Show Links:   Season 13 Show Notes   InkedGaming Affiliate Link: https://www.inkedgaming.com/collections/artists-solely-singleton?rfsn=4880595.65410f&utm_source=refersion&

Brad and Eric return for hot takes for the Adventure in the Forgotten Realms commander cards! Spooty wasn’t able to join us like our other hot takes but he has joined us in spirit and sent in his takes of a couple cards for peasant/pauper cubes.  While a lot of cards from the decks are focused for multiplayer/EDH, there are a couple really sweet cards that may have a home in your cube! 00:30 - Intro01:42 - Rakdos05:37 - Blue12:00 - Black22:21 - Green26:17 - Multicolored (Again…)30:53 - Colorless44:23 - Outro Show Links:   Season 13 Show Notes   InkedGaming Affiliate Link: https://www.inkedgaming.com/collections/artists-solely-singleton?rfsn=4880595.65410f&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=4880595.65410f   Solely Singleton Website: https://www.solelysingleton.com/ Solely Singleton Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SolelySingleton The Starter Cube: https://www.cubecobra.com/cube/list/thestartercube The Misers Cube: https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/themiserscube Brad’s Main

Did you remember to check for traps Listener? I hope so, because the further we delve into Mad Brad’s dungeon, the more fearsome monsters we will face! The hallway before you forks, down one path, you hear the cackling of a possessed peasant! Down the other hallway, the silence is broken by a whisper on the wind. The wind carries the phrase “Sounds good” by your ears and you feel a strange desire to start a Starcraft podcast. You could turn around, but that would mean missing out on the rest of hot takes! So roll for perception and double check your supplies because the riches of the dungeon are almost in your grasp! 00:30 - Intro 00:52 - Red 19:43 - Green 35:33 - Multicolor 42:54 - Colorless 48:55 - Land 01:02:52 - Outro Show Links: Season 13 Show Notes InkedGaming Affiliate Link: https://www.inkedgaming.com/collections/artists-solely-singleton?rfsn=4880595.65410f&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=4880595.65410f Solely Singleton Website: https://www.solel

In this episode, Brad and Eric are joined by Spooty to kickoff the new season with Adventure in the Forgotten Realms hot takes. This is MTG’s first (of many) cross-IP standard sets and is looking to be a home run in the flavor department. While the set may be on the lower end of the power level spectrum, (especially coming off the heels of MH2) there are still a lot of appealing options for cube. The hosts have also been busy between seasons and will be showing off some changes to the show’s Patreon. Follow the link below to the show’s Patreon below to find out more (The $200 tier will surprise you). So pack up your bag of holding, shuffle up your deck of many things, and prepare to venture into the Dungeon of the Mad Brad! 00:30 - Intro 02:40 - Pateron Update 21:09 - White 45:51 - Blue 01:06:49 - Black 01:34:14 - Outro   Show Links: Season 13 Show Notes   InkedGaming Affiliate Link: https://www.inkedgaming.com/collections/artists-solely-singleton?rfsn=4880595.65410f&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=
