Plot cards are the main focus for this new set so the team deep dives into each of the plot cards to determine if they are playable or not. They talk about which leaders they think would like them and which cards just do not make the cut. Then they release 5 new decks they have been testing with Set 6 to try and get a new meta deck to break in for this tournament season.
