In this episode of the Joseph Writer Anderson Podcast, we’ll be discussing the UNION ARENA meta post Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 2. In the JJK Vol. 2 format, already powerful decks look to leverage site cards like Malevolent Shrine and Royal Palace to gain an unprecedented advantage over the competition. For this reason, strong decks with the capabilities to remove site cards from the game will fare far better than those that can’t do a thing about them.

Meanwhile, consistent favorites like Purple Code Geass, Yellow Saitama, and Blue SAO Aincrad continue to be a solid pick for competitive play.
