In which I use a difficult month on ladder to get to the bottom of why I tilt, and improve my mental game for the next meta. Plus, your questions!

Thinking more about the recent developer announcements, and taking stock of what the general malaise in the community and what it might mean.

Takes of varying degrees of heat on the In The Works update that the dev team just delivered. 

Chances are, you’re struggling in the Boomsday meta. I am too. Let’s take some time to figure out why this meta feels so hard, and if there’s any way to reframe our mindsets to help take the sting out of climbing the ladder. 

It’s about that time of the expansion where the meta’s settled and dust is burning a hole in everyone’s pocket. So I ran the numbers, did some science, and I have a list of the cards you should target first on your shopping spree in the collection manager.

It's back to the car for a discussion of why Tracking is a good card and how to adjust your mindset to get past its downside, how to use Azalina in Odd Warrior, and strategies for crafting and dusting legendaries now that the meta has settled. 

The podcast goes off road for another week to talk to [@epicEphyra](http://twitter.com/epicephyra) about the #BadassWomenOfHearthstone movement, the challenges that women in Hearthstone and other esports face both in competition and streaming, and how we can all help make things better, one step at a time.

It's a week into Boomsday, so as is tradition, Coin Concede's RidiculousHat joins me to discuss every experiment that's resulted in a deck you can play on ladder. (And a few that blew up in our faces.)
