This week we are joined by special guest Will, or as he's better known on Twitch and YouTube, Horsethief! While he cannot comment on any horse-related thefts, he sure does have a lot of wonderful insights to share on how to master one of SBB's most elusive heroes: Hoard Dragon. We discuss all things HD, from early game strategies to late game high rolls that will lead you to win big, as Will puts it, "in hilarious fashion."
