28 - Interview with Spring Champion Aaron Gertler

This week, I was excited to have Storybook Brawl's Spring Champion, Aaron Gertler, on the show! Aaron shares his process to prepare for a tournament, presents his take on the current metagame, and lays down some astute card evaluations. We also get to talk about a few non-SBB topics like the Effective Altruism movement and our favorite web serials.

Note that this episode does contain some mild language.

You can read Aaron's excellent tournament report from the Spring Championship and watch his games here.
