EP3 - Why Riot Changed Best-Ofs, and My First Radiance Pre-Rift
Season 1, Episode 3
Show notes
My first Radiance pre-rift, the best-of change nobody saw coming, and a collection I hadn't realised had got that big.This week: why pre-rifts are the best events in Riftbound and how my first one went (badly), the Radiance cards that stood out in sealed, why Riot changed the best-of rules after the Ahri collusion discords, where the early meta is heading before RC Stuttgart, and, because a few of you kept asking, my actual thoughts on collecting Riftbound, plus the 48 overnumbers I apparently own.Also: the new A6 Rifthub scorepads, and four of your questions in Sideboard Mail.

EP 2 - My Card Reveal, Set Rotation, and Best-Ofs
Season 1, Episode 2
Show notes
Episode two of The Sideboard. I got invited to reveal a card for Radiance, so I go through the whole process: the email, the concept, the skit, and the card itself. Then the last of the Radiance reveals and the three decks I'm actually excited to build, why set rotation in 2028 is healthy for the game, what a best-of is and what it means now Spiritforged has rotated out, and the difference between a Regional Qualifier and a Regional Championship. Plus I explain why I'm not giving you my opinion on the drama, and four questions sent in by you lot.Got a question, an argument, or a take you want picked apart? Drop it in the YouTube comments, DM me on any platform, or post it in the questions channel in my Discord. I read every one.DUNC - @dunctcg on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.

EP 1 - Three Events, Radiance Reveals, and Bans
Season 1, Episode 1
Show notes
Episode one of The Sideboard. Three events landed in one weekend, Bristol, Malmo and RQ LA, so I go through all of it: what I played, where it went wrong, and what the results say about the meta going into Radiance. Then a look at the Radiance reveals, all nine legends and the cards and battlefields that matter, my predictions on bans, and questions sent in by the community.
