[humming] [knocking]

Come in.

Oh, Mr. Paladin.

Well, Miss Wong.

Hi.

That was CBS's idea to take advantage of their TV scripts, which could cheaply be transitioned to radio.

The central character went by the name of Paladin and was a gun for hire.

However, he only chose clients who were honest and in need of protection.

Paladin was not your typical Western gunfighter.

He lived in a swank hotel in San Francisco, had a Chinese cook who he called Hey Boy, dressed semi-formally in black, and carried a business card featuring a chestnut surrounded by the words, Have Gun, Will Travel, Wire Paladin, San Francisco.

The scripts were good, and the radio versions were excellent.

If you get a chance to see some of the old TV versions starring Richard Boone, those are great as well.

Have Gun, Will Travel.

And then eventually, after their cozy, Tarn Hunter for Herbalism Alchemy, and then Undead Rogue with Mining Engineering.

And then at some point, maybe Paladin Mage Priest Druid, but they are lower on the totem.

And meanwhile, little old Wheelie over here has no idea what you just said at all.

What everyone else

Will Travel.

Headquarters of a man called Paladin.

Yes, come in.

Mr. Paladin, I...

Oh, Mr. Paladin.

We're still experimenting.

Um, I was going to use lost city priests cause I was expecting a lot of like Mac Paladin and pirate warrior and like just sort of board, even disco, like board-based aggro to hit legend.

And I kind of goofed up this, uh, this month by being too good.

Um, i i finished at like rank 600 700 so not good enough for 11x but also too good to really farm people playing like a lot of like just jamming a lot of board based aggro but not being like premium players at it so i was playing against like really good players with 10x on tuesday trying to hit legend day one i just didn't make it just wasn't gonna happen Wednesday I took the day off because just like man I'm really behind on like I'm going back to work I'm waking up early I don't really feel like waking like staying up late and streaming I want to watch some apothecary diaries I started that series it's amazing so far very bingeable can't put it can't put it down I have to put down to sleep though.

So it's...

That's kind of like the 1-2-3, like your ideal play pattern that you want to fall into.

And Warp Tooth is kind of like your plan B if you're actually getting opposed on board, which can happen against decks like Disco Lock or Mech Paladin.

which I don't know what the data looks like, but I will tell you that I really like queuing into Disco Lock and Mech Paladin because I feel like you can bully them off the board and they're never able to get back on, especially because of cards like Warp Tooth, Risky Skipper, and the various pirate cards.

I didn't know you were a Horde fan.

I didn't touch Alliance at all, which is ironic because they're the ones who had Paladin first, and Paladin wasn't available for the Horde.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, you're looking very pleased with yourself, hey boy.

Oh, well, a big wedding will happen.

Well, that's fine.
