Re: [Kinnebian + Striders 13] Cringebase - metacom

Kinnebian retired and, given that I also handled Sakamoto's ban, I suppose I can do this one as well.

You didn't really have much in the way of note history before this, so I'm pretty okay lifting it. Please keep in mind in the future not to discuss anything related to the round outside of the game.

Re: change dynamic on manuel to only select restricted antagonists
