On this episode of Control Room, guest host Ryan and I discuss two ways of building decks.  Planned decks are defined as decks that are mostly built in theory before the cards ever come together into deck form, such as a decklist or deck tech.  Play-testing/chaotic deck building is defined here as the science of "What If?" building in that you have an idea and try to find cards that can work in that shell as well as those that may not have a defined home but can still be useful.  We both use examples of our own decks throughout the episode.
