The crew is back, and this time we’re talking Tavern Brawl team management where we share some advice and lessons learned on how to help your squad run smoothly across a long season.
Next up, it’s been quite a while since the last balance patch, and one upside of that fact is that we have substantial sample sizes to work with. So that means it’s time for a Meta Mashup!
Speaking of data, Filtrophobe unveils a vibe-coded ELO system using Hero Helper stats, complete with four different ranking interpretations depending on which game types are being factored in.
And with upcoming nuptials on the horizon, Tuff and Dubz take a moment to deliver some advice to the husband-to-be.
All this and more on the latest episode of Sparks & Rec. Thanks for listening!

Hey everybody, DblDubz here. I love the Realms Rising community and have an absolute blast playing in the community organized events. Even if it's just a little bragging rights, playing with something on the line against people you know, just makes it that much more exciting to me! That's part of why talking strategy and working together to optimize our play is something I love doing.
A few other facts about me -- I come from a competitive Magic: the Gathering background and have played fewer than 50 games of Star Realms! I'm also married and have a one and a half year old son, both of whom I love spending time with.
Chat me up on the Discord server or send me a challenge in game any time!
