Quigon has always been an underrated and under utilized Leader. We sit down and build out two Quigon Decks with Set 7 cards. With the new Support mechanic coming in Ashes, we sit down and look at how many support cards we are getting and talk about how impactful they could be. Lastly we create a Leader Tier list for the new set leaders to determine who we should be playing once the new set is live.
