Episode 25: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

What were the most unloved cards in Shadows? What are the most popular leaders so far in Twilight? What does a bad math segment look like? STICK AROUND AND FIND OUT. (Our audio quality is better than ever, but Parker finally sat down and learned Squadcast/Descript, which left no time for charts or visual lists. The graphs - as always - are over on Ned's github, found at our website. There's no handy image grab of the Top 10 to post on Discord.) theforceunlimited.com
