## Resource

Aaron and John discuss the delay of some Ascended Heroes products and the release cadence of special sets as well as a new policy from TPCi regarding the legality of special sets. After John attempts to increase his lead in Blaine's Quiz Show, the guys discuss the impact of some key cards in the Ascended Heroes expansion. We'll return with an EUIC discussion next week so we hope to have you back! Follow us on socials: @BFPTCGPod @_Aaron_Curry @JohnOrgel.bsky.social
