Duncan and I haven't done a video this week because of REASONS so, in lieu of audio-visual content, here is the script that we would have shot if we had done a video (or if these things were rigorously scripted in the first place).
Duncan
Hi Dan!
Dan
Hi Duncan!
Duncan
Tell us about some of the cards we've got coming out this week!
Dan
Say "please".
Duncan
Okay, please tell us about some of the cards we've got coming out this week.
Dan
On Wednesday we've got four new Unruly Rulers cards - Louis XIV, Elizabeth I, Paul I of Russia and the not-numbered Oliver Cromwell.
Duncan
Wow, what a magical menagerie of meticulously manicured monarchs!
Dan
Curiously well said... although I have to bring you up on calling them "Monarchs" because, famously, Oliver Cromwell didn't consider himself a monarch. It's partly why the collection is no longer called Mad Monarchs - that, and the problematic connotations of that name. Good move away from it, I think.
Duncan
Indeed. Tell me about Elizabeth I.
Dan
Well, as you'll know if you've read the back of the Mary Queen of Scots card, they hated each other. Elizabeth's ability requires you to have Mary in your deck, but don't play them together because they'll give each other a massive debuff! Or maybe you could try playing them together...
Duncan
Sound like you're dropping a subtle hint there Dan...
Dan
Yeah, but it's really hard to be subtle in writing. I might as well have just written out "why don't you try playing Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots together and see what happens?"
Duncan
It's a good thing the only way this'll be consumed is as video content then.
Dan
Indeed.
Duncan
Anything else?
Dan
Look out for tomorrow's Warty Crab card - it requires Oliver Cromwell to trigger it's ability. There's also Booster Bundle out later - a bunch of gems for a great price, as usual.
Duncan
Don't mess with a classic, eh?
Dan
That's what I say about Cheesy Doodles and Family Guy shirts!
Duncan
Is that all?
Dan
Yeah, I'm done. I know we normally talk about the stuff coming out on Thursday, Friday and Saturday but, even in your current narrative device form, you know this is a news story and it's only about today. In fact, as a narrative device, I can make you say whatever I like.
Duncan
Buff Multiverse.
Dan
What am I like?
