The Vicious Syndicate Data Reaper Podcast

Play more one drops in your Frost DK, add one mana cyclers to your Miracle Rogue, kill people with one mana spells in your Quest DH, and buff one drops to make undead decks playable. Hat is happy. 

They nerfed Renathal! Plus a whole bunch of other cards. We have a whole new format to talk to you about. 

March of the Lich King is out and we have our early impressions before the first report! 

Since last week, we've had quite a few class cards revealed. The hosts talk through what we've seen at the halfway point of the reveal season. 

We have all the Death Knight cards, so let's talk about them! 

Team 5 announced a lot of new stuff coming to the game with the next expansion, but in the meantime they dropped 125 cards into standard with the re-release of Knights of the Frozen Throne. What changed? Is Big Priest OP?

Seriously, there are so many rogue decks right now - they're not busted but they're all being played a lot and we have some insights. 

If you don't play Naga Priest you'll be proving Zach right. Is that what you want?

Oh you know it's a clickbait title. And we mean it - but not for the reasons you might think! Check out our early impressions of the 24.4.3 balance patch and see if Theotar going to 5 actually changed anything.

We're waiting for nerfs and have some speculation around what might be changed... along with some good old Zach rants.

There's more content in the podcast than just what's in the title! Come listen to our analysis of the early miniset meta. 

It's time for a special mini-set review edition of the podcast where we go over all the cards coming out in tomorrow's patch! 

We have our first report after the balance changes. There are a lot of interesting changes to the format and it seems like the dream of board-based strategies has come true!

The newest balance patch changed things once again and it's time to lower those curves and bring out some minions! Hat's happy at least. 

A hundred episodes in! Thank you for being there with us along the way. We take a little walk down memory lane before discussing our hopes for the upcoming balance patch. 

Zach has thoughts on general balance philosophy and translates them to what happened with the first patch in Nathria. 

Who would've expected a meta where a 9 drop removal minion is highly played? Not us. There are plenty of other things to learn from the first data reaper report of the expansion before the nerfs. 

Welcome to Murder at Castle Nathria! We don't have a full report yet, but we have early impressions and you're going to want to hear them in our longest episode ever.

All the cards are out and we have over a week until we get to play with them... so what do we do? We theorychat! Zach has been deep in the lab making decklist drafts and Hat got to play on the theorycrafting stream--tune in to hear where our perspectives overlap.

We have new information that shows that Renathal is actually making some decks better instead of worse! On top of that, we have a bunch of new cards to review together.

You knew it was coming. Do you want to hear about how Renathal decks are doing after a few days? Of course you do. 

It's yet another meta where the best deck is both underplayed and in the Paladin class. Just play it. But hey, we have stuff to talk about in every class! Well, almost every class...

You might need one if the meta keeps going the way it's been headed. After the last round of changes we have another completely new meta - tune in to get our first impressions!

It's Warrior's format now and we're all just living in it. Well, Warrior and Rogue. Well, Warrior, Rogue, and DH...

Unless you're playing Boar Priest or Alignment Druid, at least. We have a lot to talk about with mini-set standard and there's also 10+ minutes of Elden Ring discussion after the outro!
