Solely Singleton

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stroke; Eric getting epilepsy; Brad trying to break Eric’s long standing record of Uhhhhhs that need to be edited out; outdated movie references; Brad neglecting the poor (as usual); a surprise Legends Single Card Discussion; our lord and savior, Parcelbeast; mispronunciations of cards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. Have fun! 00:30 - Intro 05:03 - Ætherling 12:18 - White 22:44 - 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.patreo

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=

On this episode of Solely Singleton, Brad and his guest host JJ review a lucky listener’s cube and provide useful advice for improvement. Since their first take was great enough to be accepted into that library down in Alexandria (Which I love, so I certainly hope nothing bad ever happens to it), they decided to doctor up another cube. As always, they go in the traditional order of lands, white, blue, planeswalkers, black, red, green, multicolor, and colorless. But, dear listener, I shall leave you wondering—Can Brad break the record for ums, uhs, and stuttery doublespeak that BowTie will try to clean up in post? Can JJ make it through a sentence without laughing, saying “yeah” at least once, or trailing off before he finishes the last few words?  Will he learn what a pop-filter is or how it works? Who knows!   00:30 – Intro 2:37 – Main Topic 3:53 – Lands 15:49 – White 23:08 – Blue 31:03 – Planeswalkers 37:17 – Black 41:39 – Red 46:04 – Green 50:21 – Multicolor 54:50 – Colorless 1:01:17 – Outro   Auzzy’s Cube

On this episode of Solely Singleton, Brad, Eric, Christian, and Redneck Riviera figure out what MH2 cards they like for cube. Highlights include, in no particular order: jabs at Christian for being poor, arguments about two-drops, Christian’s mechanical keyboard/mouse driving the editor nuts, Brad rants (Brants?) about monkeys, Brad getting a 100-proof sinus cleanse, Brad’s disdain for food that unfortunately doesn’t extend to real life, somewhere near 69 cards for the +1/+1 counter deck, and everybody forgetting famous card names.  So, now that you’ve tldr’d that run-on, pour yourself a glass of something strong enough to blur the poor editorial decisions and give ‘er a go!    00:30 – Intro 1:20 – Multicolor 29:35 – Colorless 41:00 – Land 50:55 – Outro   Show Links:   Season 12 Shownotes   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 Websit

On this episode of Solely Singleton, you are treated to an hour or so of people saying words that none of them could ever hope to spell; starring all your favorites! Eric, a well-rounded weeb who pulls hipster hot takes out his tuckus for your enjoyment! Brad, a poser who thought of like 30 different anime for his 10-show list but has somehow never seen half the ones in this episode! Christian, who is here for some unknown reason, even though he knows nothing about the subject matter and his girlfriend did all the work for him! And, introducing future perennial favorite, Brad’s Neighbor’s Lawnmower, who doesn’t even speak English yet still contributes more than Christian! All of these fine folk have sweated tirelessly to bring you patrons (and freeloaders) exactly what you asked for, Disney princesses as cement mixers Ravnican guilds as anime!   00:30 – Intro 2:04 – Main Topic 2:56 – Azorius 11:14 – Dimir 16:15 – Rakdos 21:57 – Gruul 26:55 – Selesnya 31:12 – Orzhov 36:19 – Golgari 41:46 – Simic 47:09 – Izzet

On this episode of Solely Singleton, we have an interview with everyone’s favorite blue-haired strea⸻  Wait, this isn’t a Fortnite cast? Damn, now I have to be a competent editor and actually listen to the show. So, it looks like this is the oft-requested episode about the ninja package that’s been tested since MH1, not an over-repeated joke about Twitch. In any case, go ahead and enjoy a Dimir episode that hardly even mentions Brad’s favorite etherium-armed adonis.   00:30 – Intro 1:21 – Main Topic 40:56 – Outro   Show Links:   Season 12 Shownotes   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

On this episode of Solely Singleton, Brad and Eric talk about 17 cool cards that you’ll never get to see in person! More specifically, these are the Heroes of the Realm cards which are awarded to certain WotC teams for exemplary performance.
