Vector Sigma:

Note: this was recorded almost two weeks ago before other articles and rules addressed this issue directly.  This is not a take on the "Daring Escape" deck per se, but instead a look at the place (or lack thereof) of combo decks in the Transformers TCG in general.

Join Scott and Vince as they discuss combo decks in the game, trying to take both sides of the coin, while admittedly biased towards the side of "they should not exist."  Some discussion on the current combo deck (ie. public enemy #1) as proof of the concepts they discuss.

Scott and Vince discuss the week's Transformers TCG news that dropped around Energon Edition and the lack of set rotation in 2020.  Then they discuss the Battle Cards in Siege II they are most looking forward to sleeving up! 

Scott and Vince discuss the Siege II characters they are most excited about brewing new decks around. Broken down into "Deck defining" and "Support" characters! If you want to shortcut this exciting set with some expert competitive advice, stay tuned!

Join Scott and Vince as they discuss the remaining, exciting reveals from Siege II from the week of 10/19. Then they have a free-form discussion of how they feel the set will shape the coming metagame!

Scott and Vince discuss results the Siege II reveals from the week of 10/14 including a lot of exciting new and large character cards!  Only a few more cards to go and we are fully ready to test the known Energon Invitational metagame (probably?)! 

Scott and Vince discuss results from the first PPG Tour stop in Columbus, Ohio before getting into the really big news for the week: the Banning of Press the Advantage!

Scott and Vince talk about the Energon Invitational Qualfiier season: how you should treat the season as a potentially already qualified player, what to do in certain situations, etc.   Tech Talk is the only weekly Transformers TCG podcast, enjoy! 

Vince continues his focus on the psychological side of the Transformers TCG with a look at when you may need to "Let it Go" when looking at your favorite characters in Lore compared to their competitive implications  

Scott concludes (continues?) his theory on the Metagame, complete with a Spherical graphic that explains how various deck builds interact. Just the tip of the iceberg for this complex topic

A theory so large it had to be stretched over two day!  Join Scott as he begins a journey of defining the Siege metagame..not on a deck by deck basis, but in a theoretical sense..

Join Top Eight teammates Scott Landis (Top 4) and Vince DeGulis (Top 8) as they recap the general feeling of Gen Con and how the experience was for them.  Sure to be only the first time they discuss the exciting weekend!

Today Vince gives us his full Breakdown for his Top Eight Gen Con finishing deck: Four Wide Blaster! This deck utilizes the exciting new Autobot cassette strategy, full of nostalgia (how many of you ever even played a tape!?), fun, and effectiveness!  Highly suggest you take this deck for a spin, and make your own improvements for your local Energon Invitational qualifier metagames!  Note: Yes, we know they are not "spells"...old habits die hard I guess ;-) 

Drew Nolosco, brand manager of the Transformers TCG, was kind enough to sit down with Scott and Vince of Tech Talk again before his trip to San Diego Comic Con!  We discuss all things Organized Play, and admittedly Drew dodged no difficult questions.  Make sure you check out this honest and exciting conversation! 

Note: there were some technical difficulties around 40-50 in that persisted due to sensitive Mic issues, sorry about that, we did not want to edit out any of the really great content!

Scott and Vince sit down EXCLUSIVELY with Drew Nolosco to discuss "Rise of the Combiners" as well as the exciting future of the Transformers TCG!

Vince takes a look back at the various iterations of Megatron that failed to make a splash on the competitive front, and looks forward to the new General Megatron who may succeed where others failed?!

 Scott continues our Sealed Deck focused week with a Primer on the "rules" of Siege Sealed deck! 

You've read and watched us all week give advice on how to build decks from six packs of Siege, now try it with us!

Collaboration with Cameron of Arbitrary Hero!  

Scott and Cameron talk about some of the thoughts that need to go into building a competitive deck . They discuss overall strategies in deck building as well as some ways to assess the value behind character and battle cards!   No matter you experience level in deck building or playing in the Transformers TCG, everyone can get a lot of out this discussion...enjoy! 

Scott and Vince go over some Origins information and then deep dives into the remaining characters and battle cards revealed for Siege: War for Cybertron I (Two Part Podcast)

Due to Scott's Vacation, we had many Siege: War for Cybertron to go over and some other news so we decided to split the podcast into two "more easily digestible podcasts"..for the first one we go over recent Transformers TCG news: the potential information dropping over the summer convention series, the RotC metagame, and some general Wave 3 info.

Stay tuned later in the week for part two where we go in depth over the new Siege Spoilers!

 Dan Arnold takes a look of how the powerful aggro-control Sentinels deck has evolved since the start of the RotC metagame..a must read to understand this powerful deck!
