Big Sky Debate approaches Lincoln Douglas differently. Instead of sending you the same recycled philosophy cards with each issue, we believe in exploring the issues that will make you better prepared to defend the core issues and current events associated with the topic. Understanding philosophy is certainly critical and valuable in Lincoln-Douglas debate, but so is understanding the underlying social, legal, and ethical issues underlying the topic.

To that end, we cut the best cards from law reviews, journals and news sources to give you the best possible background on the topic.  Please check out our sample issues to see what that means.

Our LD books are available in an incredibly affordable season subscription and as individual issues. 

Our LD subscription is an even better value in our package deals.
