- 1:00O P news Sheep, O hoy, Oh, I'm sorry. Oh we're
- 1:06missing we're missing suddenly today. But we're starting out with with our titular segment
- 1:11O P news Sheep. What's going on at op okay? So op news
- 1:18soon has turned into op news later later when same assumed, oh got it.
- 1:27So there. There are quite a bit of rumors going around on what
- 1:32the store Championship kit contains, which is now six special treatment decks, three
- 1:42sets of premium keys, and twenty four Haunted indicators, and that's to support
- 1:51three eight player tournaments. So two decks, a set of keys, and
- 1:57a chain or chain han acker, chain tracker. It's the same thing,
- 2:00man, So you're haunted tracker. Maybe maybe they took all the old chain
- 2:07trackers and they just stamped haunted on them. They just they got a hot
- 2:13branding iron and it's a sticker. It's just a vinyl sticker. It comes
- 2:21in. Then put it right on there. Jermy's not busy. He could
- 2:24just put stickers on the thousands of trackers. Rights, Like when's the last
- 2:30time I got op news? Like like we do have a running tally.
- 2:36We can go back and show what is the date? Like like these guys
- 2:39work forty hour weeks, Like what do we think they're actually like thirty thirty,
- 2:45thirty and a half. Just like five people in a very small company
- 2:51sold. Somebody's got to plunge the toilet at one time. Give us like
- 2:55the the basic hour workday, the corporate our corporate position, Like where there's
- 3:00thirty of y'all, you're sitting in cubes. No one really knows what you're
- 3:04doing. Like I'm in an office, like Hurley's got to be around the
- 3:08corner, Like Luke's doing whatever he's doing in the in in in the box
- 3:14of coding land, Like what do you think Jeremy and Josh do for eight
- 3:22hours of a single day, Because it's like you gotta put the haunted stickers
- 3:27on the there's like whatts to do? It's a small company there, address
- 3:38Well, somebody's got to put somebody has to take the decks from the pile
- 3:43of decks and put them in. That's part to forge people. They were
- 3:49doing that. See, we know that they're doing a lot of behind the
- 3:53scenes work. I'm sure that just like your job in mind, they don't.
- 3:57We don't always see everything that's going into it. So I will Josh
- 4:00and I'll be stoned for it. But there you go, like like but
- 4:03what's like one single example, Like y'all can't even think of things that make
- 4:10up for them to do. So so we know coffee all right, all
- 4:15right, it was like coffee. They may each have to take a turn
- 4:17getting hurly coffee. I could definitely see Jeremy getting c TP coffee all day.
- 4:24Like, okay, Jeremy's jobs accounted for. I mean, Janet brings
- 4:29all the paperwork around three times and make sure you actually do it right because
- 4:32you know the stuff and they're missing signatures and the Janet's coming back around.
- 4:38She's like, do it right, where's your TPS? Where's your TPS reports?
- 4:44Exactly because in my mind, Janet smokes a pack of Marborough reds today.
- 4:46I don't know why, but she just does. Guys, you want
- 4:50to hear it's too ridiculous to be made up office story. So they just
- 4:59rolled out this process in in my my workplace. And this new process is
- 5:08the the Product Operating System, which they abbreviate everywhere as p o S.
- 5:15Like what the PUS process has been standard software name forever if you were real
- 5:29point of sale, But this is they also all of those POS systems that
- 5:36that acronym doubles for sure, Yes, yes, because somebody is like this,
- 5:41every point of sale system I've ever worked it with is a p o
- 5:46S. Yes, agreed. They're all my starts to swipt to Shopify version,
- 5:54but not the super premium page shop offy and it's extra p o S
- 5:59E. But it interfaces with all of your digital sales platforms, so it
- 6:09does that. In other news, I guess this is is this Artiforage or
- 6:15this ghost Galaxy. Dream Trace has been announced on February seventh. Dream Trace
- 6:23was announced, which is says Ghost Galaxies. But I don't it. Wouldn't
- 6:28it be Strange Stars, aren't they it's a Strange Stars company. I think
- 6:30it's a Strange Stars company. Okay, So dream Trace is the new token
- 6:35maker for ghost Galaxy. Am I getting this straight? Those generic But you
- 6:46have to you have to Okay, So you have to take the dream here
- 6:48she and you've got to like mold it right if they can stamp chain trackers
- 6:55haunted, they can get a little stamp and stamp space on the gold ones
- 7:00for yes see, you mold the dream? Or do you have to like
- 7:06get a hot thing in brand each one? Wait? Why when I googled
- 7:11dream Trays it comes up in Roseville, Minnesota. Google says permanently closed because
- 7:18it hasn't opened yet now because it was a name for something they were going
- 7:24to do previously. If you start looking at Dreamchase, it was founded in
- 7:30like twenty twenty to do something else. Oh, Christan T. Peterson announcing
- 7:34dream Trace two years ago. Well, here's here's the link that they just
- 7:42out. Never mind, she beat me. I'm hitting enter anyways, so
- 7:46that mine's on the bottom. Dreamtays is location based VR company VR services of
- 7:53your dream Trace game tokens. Goest Galaxy is proud to announce its new dream
- 7:57Trace imprint, which will cover an array of game supplies, accessories, and
- 8:01play enhancement products. So I'm guessing that could be sleeves, that could be
- 8:05deck boxes, that could be all sorts of stuff. I think you're talking.
- 8:11I am probably, I am probably pie in the sky right now.
- 8:16But you know, I just can't see another company bothering to compete with how
- 8:22many sleeve suppliers are already out there, Like, that's not a lucrative market.
- 8:26Okay, So you can pre order on miniature market right now, dream
- 8:31Trace Game Tokens. Yeah. So there's Sorceress purple right here, which just
- 8:35looks like a purple disc because they have Crimera blue, dragon Scale, Ember,
- 8:43Poppy, milk, white, and green. I kind of want the
- 8:48question is, did they actually get an extruder where they're extruding these themselves,
- 8:56or when one of them was out of country not too long ago, were
- 9:01they over in China and somebody's like, hey, we got these boxes and
- 9:05there's a million of each of these colors, and we don't know what to
- 9:07do with them, and we'll sell to you for like shipping, and they're
- 9:11like, oh great, So they got like a million each color, and
- 9:16they got they got Josh sitting there at a desk counting out twenty tokens forty
- 9:22tons per box, which they can they might be able to print the boxes.
- 9:28So they're printing the boxes. And then they got Josh Jermy counting forty
- 9:31tokens into a box and then you sell them for nine nine and then you
- 9:35saw them. That's pretty good here, man, we are highly focused today.
- 9:43I love you boys. At least he was accounted for Josh's time,
- 9:48yes, And then Janet she's she's checking them and she's like, this one's
- 9:52underweight and she makes me do it in the back Josh, I think you
- 9:56got too many in this one. Did to open it up and redo it.
- 10:01It's like that guy gets fired for giving you the extra chicken nugget right
- 10:07with a ruler or something when they maybe probably it's like one of those old
- 10:11school wood ones too. No, it's like an ao A deck they just
- 10:16whack you with. They just throws. They have access d T decks for
- 10:22throwing. Oh got it. That makes more sense. So every time somebody
- 10:26screws up, so he just gets whacked with a DT deck. Makes sense.
- 10:33That's a good use. So have we been inane? Do we have
- 10:39anything real to talk about? Yes, well not like real news, but
- 10:43we have our series we've been doing. Last week we went over Ecuadon.
- 10:50Before that, we went over to Brobnar before that. Yeah, yeah,
- 10:56we got pre released this. Well not well, by the time this drops,
- 11:01we knew that already. I mean it's common. Go do so,
- 11:05find your local store that's got this and play the store you you go to,
- 11:16you go to the Maria, you find us, you go and you
- 11:20go into the games locaters on Sunday inhale the smoke and let it lead you.
- 11:33I did so. Barlow one of my local dudes. He has made
- 11:37this whole graphic. That's really cool saying in the Philadelphia Tri state area.
- 11:43Here's all the pre release dates, here's all the store championship dates, and
- 11:48here's the regular the dates, like the regular night dates. And it's pretty
- 11:56sweet. Wait, who did this? The marketing department? No, yeah,
- 12:01just like our local guy. Those things I the marketing department. Yeah,
- 12:07I should chat this to Jeremy. I don't know, you should do
- 12:11stuff like that, like that would be good. All right here, I'll
- 12:15paste it in our chat right here. Look at that? Isn't that kind
- 12:18of cool? Yeah? Really nice? Like that had been done for the
- 12:22country or somehow some way, like I don't know, Yeah, okay,
- 12:28all right, But as we talked about a little bit, our ac our
- 12:33arcons corner dacks have shown up. Some of us got them. But in
- 12:39addition to that, I made what he do work. It took him two
- 12:45weeks to deliver on the work I asked to do, but he did finally
- 12:48do work. We figured out who our biggest long term patreons are, who's
- 12:54who have given us the most money, the most styles. So we have
- 13:01chosen from them top few, and we have sent out our corners decks to
- 13:05some of our patreons, so you know who they are. You guys don't

- 15:22you just here is you want to hear. It's a two hour episode,
- 15:28and it's fifteen minutes here ay, and then that's it. That's the
- 15:31end of the episode. I now, I posted somewhere that for a hundred
- 15:37bucks you could write the script for one cast member for a show. Yes,
- 15:43it took me up on it. Nobody's taking you up on it.
- 15:46I said I would, I would see one of our one of our opinions
- 15:48for one hundred dollars for one show. Yeah that's a ft bar. Yeah,
- 15:54I mean it's still available this much in fluence costs something. Yeah,
- 16:03that's true. But all right, we have anything else before we get into
- 16:08geistoid. I'm right. I like the Royds. I'm a big fan of
- 16:15them, and they're cool, so very very cool, very very cool.
- 16:22The art is probably the best art we've seen thus far. Yes, their
- 16:26art on the car. I don't know if I agree with that. I
- 16:30mean it's good, but that's okay. So you like that start, you
- 16:33like this? I like this kind of like I wish it was less cartoony,
- 16:38but I do like the whole like kind of grim dark style. I
- 16:41like the flavor of the house right kind of the you know, the whole
- 16:45grim Reaper very uh what uh, mysterious right like animated junk right danger looming
- 16:56kind of like that whole thing. But let's start with a strong just aahwas
- 17:00no some of them, some of them changed the hoodie to brown little bit
- 17:07and all these things are javwas man. I guess, red, I guess.
- 17:11I also know Java's eyes are yellow, But I would need to see
- 17:15one of these next to a normal creature to determine whether it's Jowa sized or
- 17:19not. Is there or not? What is the ja? Oh? My
- 17:23god, I never seen Star Wars ever exiled Unforgivable sin. You have an
- 17:33agent guardian Star Wars the Mandalorian uh kenobi any no? Oh, we did
- 17:44see the Mandalorian. Yeah, there's Jawas in there, quite a number.
- 17:48They're little sand people, the dudes that look like just like these cards.
- 17:53Yeah, there you go there. Yeah, I've never seen Javas with red
- 17:59eye. Is they're not a red eye or orange No, but I'm totally
- 18:03down with this. Also kind of looks like the Wizard from the early final
- 18:10fantasies. I see that. I that I agree with as well, because
- 18:14it does like especially the card like that is that picture. Yeah, but
- 18:19let's get into the card have that look so we don't have another two hour
- 18:23episode and Ryan's exhausted in the morning. I mean, you just had like
- 18:27a two hour episode, so that means we have to go four hours.
- 18:30Right, This is going to be the longest Welcome to all These cards are
- 18:33new, Yeah they are, that's true. So feeling ready. Each friendly
- 18:38creature with mber on it moved one ember from each friendly creature to the common
- 18:42supply rare. It is rare. It is dual sighted. So I think
- 18:51this is deck very not dual sided. No, it says friendly, No,
- 18:56it says friendly. My bad. I just read the cards. Been
- 19:00what the card does. But even that's very good, but often less good
- 19:06go ahead, go ahead. You look. No, there's two different components
- 19:10here ready each friendly creature. So you're getting that and then moving with amber
- 19:15on it. Yes, but that's what Geistoid is doing, and so I
- 19:22think it's a very very nice rare. Yeah, the same solid amber burn.
- 19:26You're burning the amber that they want to get back, and you can
- 19:30get ready. Like, this card is strong. I got a strong feeling
- 19:33about this card. I got a strong feeling. This is a five.
- 19:44I mean a lot of dex word doesn't do much, but but the dex
- 19:47word does a lot. It's this is almost chase quality. This is good.
- 19:53I do have this as a chase card. There are some Geistid positive
- 19:59coming on capture, but most of them come in really strong for capture and
- 20:04the fact that you're crushing a ton of amber while reading a lot of guys,
- 20:07A lot of these guys have really good reabilities, Like this is a
- 20:12this is a I can win games because of this card card. So I
- 20:15put it at a six. Yes, it's gonna be underwhelming a lot of
- 20:18decks, but they're gonna be decks in like Land of the Combo after their
- 20:22wins of death turn, you know, like gg Let's get to an actual
- 20:29underwhelming card Ancestral Timekeeper six power three Armor spector clock God. At the end
- 20:36of your turn, you're gonna notice a theme with the clocks. At the
- 20:40end of your turn. Put a time counter on each friendly clock creature.
- 20:45If there are twelve or more time counters on Ancestral Timekeeper, perge Ancestral Timekeeper.
- 20:52If you do take another turn after this one, I feel like that
- 20:56should read if you do win the game, forge three keys. I mean,
- 21:04like, like what it takes to do that. It's very unlikely to
- 21:08trick twel twelve twelve time counters do anything other clocks. I agree, Like,
- 21:18like if you do forge a key twelve though, with all the splash
- 21:25damage, all the stuff, all that this and everything else, like it
- 21:30literally should have just said win the game now. They do not need to
- 21:33put in a win the game card. Why because this thing's never gonna trigger.
- 21:41That is not true. You're never gonna trigger to trigger anyway, he's
- 21:47gonna trigger. You're gonna end up playing someone that sucks at the game and
- 21:51it will trigger against them. Twelve time counters twelve, So there is yes,
- 21:59but you have looked at the rest of the cards that put more time
- 22:00counters on. Oh, I know there's other things, but like, I
- 22:04don't know. Well, like you said this, I agree this is underwhelming.
- 22:10But this is a stupid chase card that people are already asking for clock
- 22:15decks. People want clock decks because it's the new jank combo. Maybe maybe
- 22:22there please bring to play against me? Yes? Please? All right?
- 22:30So I think it's a fun component for the set. As you said,
- 22:33a lot of people are searching for it. I don't think it's competitive,
- 22:34but I think that it can be enteredy to get another spot on help for
- 22:37future self. They like fun cards over there. Yeah, so I mean
- 22:41that that's all that you're looking at. It's it's not game winning America.
- 22:45I appreciate fun cards. Come on. So I'm gonna guess this is like
- 22:48this time, Well, this what's not as much as some of the other
- 22:52fun cards. This thing probably still gets a three in the Z score because
- 22:56number one, it's a creature. Probably it's a creature that probably her He
- 23:03might even be a four just because a six three is a significant fat head
- 23:10four. But I guess three two I would say too, But remember it
- 23:18kills brios Ark. So it's bear million. I forgot about kills. Forgot
- 23:22about that. That's one of the checkboxes. Yeah, and and is it
- 23:27going to get the opportunity to read That's another checkbox. If you look at
- 23:33the picture, he is shaking his clock booty, but he also brings another
- 23:38clocks. Yeah, it's a linked rarity bringing it down. That's where I
- 23:41was going with linked rarity. So do we minus it one because it brings
- 23:47another clock? Two two? It's a fun card. People will be looking
- 23:52for people of the chat two to two two Z all right. So,
- 23:59like the score is two different systems. Like one is there to like rate
- 24:04things for their house value and their set value, and then the other is
- 24:10the Z score the deck draw better cards. So like what the actual impact
- 24:15of the card does. So, like if it hits your deck, if
- 24:19Timekeeper is in your deck, that means you've already drawn it. It's already
- 24:23there. Its value is a three. It's impact as far as the set
- 24:30score goes, because it is one of the worst linked cards in the history,
- 24:37is a zero. So because if you get one, that means you
- 24:41at least have five of these pieces of crap in in that pod, which
- 24:47means a third of your deck sucks. So even though they would all like
- 24:52humility not be zero together, their net value on like the house, as
- 24:59far like the weights go is zero. So this card is a I said
- 25:06it. It's a three if it's in your deck and drop better cards.
- 25:08Okay, it's impact as far as the valuation of the geysoid house is a
- 25:15zero. If I could have been willing to make it negative, I would
- 25:18have made it negative, but I did not do that. I don't know
- 25:22if anybody, including your fellow podcasters, know what you're talking about when you
- 25:26say the score impact to the house. So when it's three for as a
- 25:33card in the deck, like all of these scores were designed to be able
- 25:40to compare the value of a house across sets, like that was the entire
- 25:45origination, Oh the big old spreadsheeta to see, like which house is better
- 25:49than which house? From set to set? All things equal? Right,
- 25:56So like this is a horrible car algorithmically, so it hurts the value of
- 26:02the geisoid house in generating good decks. If it actually hits your deck,
- 26:10it is not nearly as horrible as like on a deck quantifiable basis most likely
- 26:15that pod overall is still gonna suck up. Got it? So after all
- 26:22the confusion, let's move on to animating force. It is an upgrade.
- 26:27This upgrade enters play attached to an artifact instead of a creature. Play take
- 26:33control of this artifact and put it on a flank of your battle line as
- 26:37a creature with forepower and versatile scrap gain one ember. So I gotta go
- 26:45immediately over to sheep, sheep what happens when we put an upgrade on an
- 26:49artifact? Because he has been all over this one. So current rules upgrades
- 26:59fall off of artifacts, they just go to the discard your story. Yeah,
- 27:04and why is that? Because that's what the rule says. Is literally
- 27:11just say artifacts upgrades fall off artifacts. Yeah, something to that extent doesn't
- 27:18just doesn't, do you think? Is that? Well? No, you
- 27:23would still get control of control of it happens, and then it just goes
- 27:27like the actual like actually goes to your discard yep, And so does the
- 27:33upgrade. All right, I'm sorry, the upgrade goes and artifact too days
- 27:38wherever he goes. Yeah, you're going to take control of the artifact,
- 27:44but it's on your side, but the actual upgrade goes away. So then
- 27:48what happens to the artifact when it doesn't have any power or toughness in my
- 27:52battle line? What happens to the artifact when it doesn't take it for our
- 28:00put it on the flank of your you know what? Because once it loses
- 28:03the upgrade card that needs an immediate f a Q is I mean clearly clearly
- 28:10doesn't work with the rules of what they're trying to do is clear. Right,
- 28:15they're trying to say, you get that artifact, you put it on
- 28:18your battle line with this as an upgrade, and it's it's four powered,
- 28:22versatile, right, That's what they're trying to say. But it's just not
- 28:27how the rules are rity fair, I guess, So, yeah, what
- 28:33does this golden rule? Or are we not so? Maybe? But golden
- 28:41rule is already a thing that doesn't have good meaning right to say something Golden
- 28:51rules is just weird, like golden rules like you can ignore everything, but
- 28:59is just as if a card tells you to do something, but the cards
- 29:03that that there are but it's the whole upgrades attached to animated creatures, but
- 29:10then they fall off when they become artifacts. That's what it says. Like
- 29:14there's nothing that says you can't end up attaching them. It says upgrades fall
- 29:18off of artifacts, so you can attach it. Then do I just have
- 29:25an artifact in my battle line. It's a creature in this case, but
- 29:32the creature but once it is cool because now it has versatile so if that
- 29:40artifact has some sort of use ability in action, right, this is the
- 29:45one that I have a problem with. I think this just stays a lot.
- 29:48That's a creature. I think you're thinking of Poltergeisty. You are right,
- 29:52because it becomes a creature, but when it goes back. Sorry,
- 29:56yes, I'm thinking of Poulter Gooysides. But I'm also trying to play my
- 29:59ABR now too. Did just think about this card and it's actually fine?
- 30:04Yes, And this is a thing though it attaches to the artifact and then
- 30:14makes it a creature. There is a non existent timing window in this game,
- 30:19right, yeah, yeah, so there it might be problem. It's
- 30:25a little it's a little weird, but it's not our main issue. Yeah.
- 30:27I like this because it's it's either a steal or often a destroy because
- 30:34you could if you're like I just want this jar off the board, you
- 30:37could immediately fight with it and often and and kill it. So this is
- 30:42pretty cool. And if you don't have any artifacts, you could still scrap
- 30:45it for whatever I say. Or if all this is too confusing for you,
- 30:51just card it for an umber, because it does scrap for a game
- 30:53one umber. Mm hmm perfect. Let's move to I'll be astray if you're
- 31:00haunted a straight enters play ready after reap capture round. It's a six power
- 31:06spector creature vehicle and it's a common did we say a score by the way
- 31:11for animating force? Oh we didn't, I am. I don't even know
- 31:17what to do with this. Three four at least four, uh zi due.
- 31:26This is cards of six enemy for the six an enemy artifact from play
- 31:34turn it into a creature, which means it can kill stupid things like jar
- 31:40part of the forest, and as a scrap effect of game one weird story,
- 31:45it actually the game as a scrap effector you gain an amber. Did
- 31:48you see this text on there? It says cannot be attached to I'll go
- 31:52five, I'll go five. He said it was a six already. What
- 31:56do you mean you're going five? Well, he's he's changing his number.
- 32:00Now, now you're changing the number. Now that you know the number,
- 32:04got it makes sense exactly. But yeah, album every day of the week
- 32:09after we capture one more. It's a big body. It's a big kills
- 32:21captured answer play ready good. Yeah, So I want to give it.
- 32:31I want to give it a five because I like it. It's very confident.
- 32:37Uh, it is a four. Yeah, b our Geist action card.
- 32:45Get a pip of Vember. Every time you play it, play choose
- 32:49a creature in any haunted player's discard plile. Play that creature as if it
- 32:53were in your hand, and this is common. Yeah, I love this
- 33:00so good. Six. This is like, this isn't a six, but
- 33:06it's a good four or five area car I'm giving it a five. Are
- 33:10we we already be your geist? Yeah? Oh yeah, that's probably a
- 33:15six chasy card that things. Yeah, I mean you could have like you
- 33:20can have three of these are your deck and just like play all the best
- 33:22creatures from yours and your opponent's discard piles. Like I have two in my
- 33:27name deck and it is super fun. Mm hmmm. It's a little sad
- 33:31again if you're not haunted either player, but overall, the huge upswing Amber
- 33:37Pip you're going ahead and being able to can't wait to stealing in furnace with
- 33:43one of these mm hmm, just to be able to do it, says
- 33:49play that creature. Yeah, it's not enterplay I play that creature. I
- 33:54got it out a six. I can see it totally being a six.
- 34:00It I currently have it at five. I'm going I originally said five.
- 34:04But if you said sex surprised, is it just because of the haunted aspect?
- 34:09It's I just don't have it at like chase level, Like I don't
- 34:14think your entirely your sex is here chase this. Yeah, stuff like that,
- 34:20like stuff that is going to in and of itself sometimes just win the
- 34:22game. And I don't think it's quite there. It's it's pretty damn close.
- 34:28Like it is definitely a five if I can see that. I start
- 34:30seeing decks that just run out three or four of these things and it's just
- 34:35brutally over like that might change. But well you walk that cast two and
- 34:39it gets irritating. It raised real good irritated last Sunday to help prevent my
- 34:47opponent from being haunted, like like I was moving them from haunted to not
- 34:54haunted with it. That was pretty cool. All right, let's go on
- 35:01the boiler two power fore Armor spector robot weird story. There's a certain Star
- 35:10Alliance card that gets back robots. These are a lot of these guys are
- 35:15robots destroyed. Deal six damaged to an enemy, create enemy flank creature,
- 35:22scrap to each to each enemy creature, thank you, thank you, and
- 35:24then scrap deal one damage to uh to each enemy creature. Yep, so
- 35:32one across the board or six to the flank. Funny thing is that's actually
- 35:37a whistling dart like it does whistling darts. It's crap effect, but at
- 35:45least had a number. Yeah. I mean, it's just a little tricky
- 35:51to trigger trigger with foe armor when you want to. It doesn't kill Brio,
- 35:58It's it seems mid Well, I guess unless Brio is a creatures.
- 36:05Brio is always a flink creature, right, so I guess it does kill
- 36:07Brio. Okay, so I guess, I guess I play I play an
- 36:14action card, which would because a Brio says, what does Brio say?
- 36:20It has to instead you kill their left leftmost flank creature. So if you
- 36:23play them on the keep him on the left, play an action card,
- 36:28kill him to kill Brio. It still feels bad. It doesn't work.
- 36:34It kills your opponent's left, not your own. If I play an action
- 36:38card, doesn't it kill there? This is a three? Is? I
- 36:45think it's a three because that two four with a fore armor, it should
- 36:49stick around to be able to get a couple of reaps. So I want
- 36:52to give it a two. Not overly excited to see him seems fine,
- 36:59but it's fine. It's not amazing, but it's it's solid. He's higher
- 37:04than it too, So you're going three as well? Sure? All right,
- 37:08see what do we got? Uh? Yeah, I have it right
- 37:10out of three. I mean, I think the scribe effect is good with
- 37:14discard pips, and if you land them, you're probably either killing something.
- 37:17I mean you're killing something if you land them, most likely you'll get a
- 37:21read. All right, let's move in to Boo Pip November. Every time
- 37:25you play it, it's an action played discard the top ten cards of a
- 37:29player's deck, which yeah, common. I mean this one haunted, Yeah
- 37:37auto haunt. Like I did not really know what to think of this card
- 37:43coming into the set. It's like, is that good? Is that not
- 37:45good? Like but it has proven to me at least to be pretty darn
- 37:52good and good decks that want to be haunted and do haunted stuff, and
- 37:55I mean even opponents straw deck well, you know, and here's a weird
- 38:01thing. Boo also combos with a certain certain well combo's ecto charge. But
- 38:08it also combos nicely with rejuven is it rejuvenating showers all sorts of stuff that
- 38:15interact with your with your graveyard. So'sting show, invigorating shower, thank you?
- 38:22Yeah, comb a lot of cards in set. I've gotten a lot
- 38:27of use out of this common card. Boo, especially early on, loves
- 38:31to be able to move Geistoid to its sweet spots. There is a nice
- 38:37play where you're playing Boo. Actually, because it does not specify, it
- 38:39says discarded the top cards of a player's deck. You can actually choose your
- 38:44opponent to unhaunt them if you're playing in sets, or potentially go ahead and
- 38:50just discard cards to gain card knowledge from a set if you're going to interact
- 38:54with that. But I'm saying like they're there has been some benefits of not
- 39:01just playing it on yourself, and it does have some flexibility there. It's
- 39:06a nice card overall, it's a little bit sadder to see you later on.
- 39:12That's just where I've personally seen it. Four three scheap whatever. Okay,
- 39:27I'm at that three four range. I could be talked to in the
- 39:30either. I think that it's a little bit above your average card, but
- 39:32it has some drawbacks, so probably a four. All right, what do
- 39:36we got ze? So this one I think has had the most movement on
- 39:39Guystoy's O recently. I had it edited two, and then I played some
- 39:45games and edible to three, and then I saw just how I mean,
- 39:51how frequently ecdo charge was being printed at that, like like that common ISO
- 39:57one, like like auto and code or was common and ISO one. But
- 40:02again, this is just sample size, and most likely I'm being subject to
- 40:06the sample bias here. But I feel like ECTO charges in like every damn
- 40:10guy story deck. I finally called an Ecto charge deck. Everybody, Yeah,
- 40:15yeah, yeah, I now have one. We'll get into that story
- 40:20once we get to ECTO charge with the frequency that I have been seeing ECTO
- 40:23charge currently. I have BOO at a four just because it like Auto haunts
- 40:29you obviously all talked about that, but it also like because as soon as
- 40:34you get eighteen cards in your discard pile, ecto charge is the same value
- 40:37as key charge, Like boo plus ecto charge is real, real, real
- 40:42good. It's very very very good. Have it at four because of just
- 40:49things it does. Fair call of need to November every time you play it,
- 40:53play, search your deck for a card and discard it. Yeah.
- 41:04This. When I first read this card, I was like, what,
- 41:07why would you ever want to do that? And the pen seed Yeah,
- 41:14yeah, so much. There's a lot of from the discard pile. This
- 41:21combo is so much, right, go through your deck, find the card
- 41:23you want, put it in your discard pile to then you know you have
- 41:28to have with other stuff to put it wherever you want, kind of like
- 41:30problem your archive, put it in your hand, play it like probably plays
- 41:34Yeah. Yeah, there's so many different different options for those cards in your
- 41:40discard, and yes it needs the combo. But you know, I was
- 41:46u those tunny guys like my slow slow deck makes me play slow because there's
- 41:52so many decisions in it. This is one of them. It's like,
- 41:54wait, which of these other good cards am I going to go put in
- 41:58my discard? And then I'm kind or am I going to play it?
- 42:01Or am I gonna put in my hand? Like all that? So slow
- 42:05walk slow makes me play slow as I see the opportunity to thinen your deck.
- 42:12You're playing slow here. I got the original slow walk, and man,
- 42:15that deck things. It flies, So I love it. No,
- 42:21I enjoy. I enjoy the searching, uh searching your deck for a card.
- 42:25Being able to pull out any card that's that is huge. It really
- 42:30is. It's a little bit of a bummer that you got to go ahead
- 42:35and combo it in order to be able to pull it back. But there's
- 42:37a lot you want to play card. There are also cards you just never
- 42:42want to see in certain matchups, so maybe you get rid of it.
- 42:45I mean, it's that card. I don't know, like it's for me.
- 42:51It's a three everybody else, nobody else just four, I'm four or
- 43:00yeah, you walk, I'm gonna put it at a three. I think
- 43:07the ember is good. I think the rare slots and the need for something
- 43:12else. I think Boo at a four has more more flexibility. I think
- 43:17call of needs a three and sheeps whatever, so ze, what do we
- 43:22got? I got it three right in the middle, kind of like everything
- 43:28else. That that's a three seems fair, all right. Let's go into
- 43:32chronometer. Chronometer, chronometer four power to ember another clock, yeah, four
- 43:40power to armor clock. At the end of your turn, put a time
- 43:46counter on each friendly clock. Creature. If there's six or more time counters
- 43:52on chronometer, destroy chronometer. If you do perject card from a discard pile,
- 44:01yeah, it's a lot of it's a lot of work for simply purging
- 44:07a card from a discard pile. I'm pretty sure in furnace does more than
- 44:13that for a lot less. And it's not a body that reaps that most
- 44:16likely sticks there because you don't want them to ever get it back. Ever.
- 44:20Ever, so the longer it's of the discard sometimes the better, depending
- 44:23on whether they have eg zooms or not or any you know, disrecursion.
- 44:30Is this a zero z it's a one. It's a one. I mean
- 44:36it's a four to two, right, it's a four to two. It's
- 44:40a vanilla four to two. A four to two creature with nothing else on
- 44:44it would still be a one, all right, fine. Curse of forgetfulness.
- 44:50It's an artifact another one of the curses. It has treachery so it
- 44:52enters under your opponent's control. At the end of your turn, purge the
- 44:57top card in your discard. Pile thoughts on this and a rare slot.
- 45:06If I dig the cursor, forget that nice dress, I dig them,
- 45:13I do to some that are better than others. Boy, I never want
- 45:17to play this against you because I feel like your your your timing and sequencing
- 45:23would get even crazier. Mhm. This hard was real good when I played
- 45:30it. It just just doesn't does a lot of disruption causes haunting to be
- 45:37much harder to do. Mm hmm. It's it's just it's It's definitely very
- 45:44good against other grim Reminders decks. There's the potential, through some craftiness of
- 45:53play against some older style decks, it could cause it to speed up if
- 46:00they're a shuffling deck, because every turn they have some amount of ability to
- 46:05purge a card, which is a little bit a little bit like what's the
- 46:10disc the Big disc guy greater Ox Tech. It's a little bit like greater
- 46:15Ox Tech where every turn you get to some extent, you have a choice
- 46:21of what you're thinning. Sometimes you're gonna have to get rid of a good
- 46:22card, but often you can finagl things to have a less desirable card and
- 46:30out of set. I don't know if this is as great of a card
- 46:32to play against a high f deck in set is pretty damn solid. Yeah,
- 46:40they'll seem kind of matchup to Penn and I agree. Still don't know
- 46:45if you ever don't play it, though, I think you always play this
- 46:50card. Yeah, I mean, yeah, you'd have to. That'd be
- 46:54a big brain play to see, like, oh yeah, my opponent's gonna
- 46:59be able to take better advantage of this. Don't know if i'd want to
- 47:02play it against Nova. Well, again, it's just consistently it's every turn.
- 47:09I mean, that's that's a lot to be able to go. There's
- 47:13just some things you can't control. No, it's greater rocks tet if you
- 47:16like. I know, but I'm saying I think overall it's going to go
- 47:22ahead and certain players you're going to have a sixty forty advantage for that player.
- 47:27But I think that's at best. I really think that most of the
- 47:31time this is going to play out. Well, it's it's at least a
- 47:37three. I'm not I don't know if you get four in this or is
- 47:42three. I think it's just a three. Maybe I got a four ze
- 47:51auh. I literally only think this is playable against other group of minors x
- 47:55I have this set of two like y'll like Dan started to hint on this,
- 48:01but like, imagine any set outside of reminders, if you could choose
- 48:08a card to purge from your deck at the end of every turn, right,
- 48:15Like if you're a code of deck, pretty much any competitive code deck,
- 48:19you can make it so the like you're ending the game with all of
- 48:23like four routine jobs, like that's what's left, Like that kind of thing
- 48:30you've already played all your shadows for because how you just perge them out?
- 48:32And like because Dan reference like you can only really do this as a high
- 48:36efficiency decks, but like you could basically like not play that creature that doesn't
- 48:40really do anything, and that's your discard. At the end of your turn,
- 48:45you perse that creature out, you cycle your deck, Like, you
- 48:49know, my second cycle, you're down three creatures by you know, third
- 48:52cycle. If it's a high efficiency deck, you're down six creatures. Like
- 48:57there's a lot of decks that are still in the metal. Like if somebody
- 49:00played this and I'm playing pink Jacket, like, thank you, And I
- 49:06think I do better with fraud with this. Yeah, like this improves fraud,
- 49:12This improves. This improves a lot of high efficiency decks that are not
- 49:15ingram reminders by a lot. So do people still play them? Maybe?
- 49:24I think this is just one of those cards that's gonna get played way more
- 49:28often than it should. Like Form of Giants, Yeah, they'll Form of
- 49:34Giants is junk though, So is this all right? All right? All
- 49:38right, all right, we're going into more artificx Curse Tom pip a Vember
- 49:43every time he played each creature with no Ember on a games destroyed purchase creature
- 49:50if there are no creatures in play, purge cursed tomb as enhancements card and
- 49:58an amber Pip. Yeah. Uh, this is another card I've played,
- 50:04and I because I've been playing sealed games and we often play them blind for
- 50:08the silly fun. Yeah, you just play this card and then I regret
- 50:14my decision. It seems super dependent on what your deck's doing and also what
- 50:22your opponent's deck is doing. Yeah, what we were saying last time,
- 50:25Maybe you want to purge your creatures, right like your opponent wants might want
- 50:30to purge their creatures right, So well, again it depends like against on
- 50:35a CODA deck, I don't need any of my critters. Yeah, please
- 50:38purge them, Please purge them so I can play more of my actions that
- 50:42say steal, you know, and I hear that. But if you're also
- 50:46facing MM or worlds collide, you know you're gonna go ahead and throw out
- 50:51your in furnace and it's purged. I think Geistoi as a whole will have
- 50:54a lot of capture. So I think the problem is that I think MM
- 51:00is going to have enough capture pips in it somewhere along. I can't disagree
- 51:04with that, but I'm saying, like it's an interesting proposition to be able
- 51:07to think about with offset how this is going to interact with it. Remember
- 51:13Geistoid overall, our ideal Geistoid is going to have quite a bit of capture.
- 51:17You know what's set isn't hurt by this away? E T D T.
- 51:22Well, I don't have a deck to play. Does that mean I
- 51:28win? Uh? Yes, if you can get rid of all thirty six
- 51:34cards, you win. You win the game. But you do get a
- 51:42chievo. All right, let's oh, what what do we got for curse?
- 51:47Because like this guys like I went the wrong way. I actually do
- 51:53have it at four. For reasons we're discussed. This card has three enhancement.
- 51:59Yeah, it's got an AMBERI on itself to capture pips, which you
- 52:04actually do need a lot of capture to have really good guys to aid and
- 52:07a discard pip. And then the way I actually play the card in most
- 52:10games, which there's one more thing I want to talk about. But like
- 52:13most games that I play this, I play Wins of Death, clear the
- 52:15board, then I play Curse Tom, get the amber and let it purge
- 52:20itself. Because it purges itself, it gets itself out of your cycle.
- 52:27I think one game I actually played it is my first card in the game
- 52:30it purged. The other thing is there are decks out there that have a
- 52:36lot of destroyed triggers on your like that you face on your opponent. If
- 52:40you purge first, they won't get their other trigger m So like if they
- 52:46have a bunch of dust dumps, you could play Curse Toom Winds of Death.
- 52:50Nothing triggers make them purge first. That's the thing. So it has
- 52:57a utility. I just urge time giving it more than a three. But
- 53:01you know what I heard right there? Nobody want to know what I heard.
- 53:07I just heard a little Carrian combo. No, I mean effects out
- 53:13there that yeah, no, no, no, I mean the whole I
- 53:16play Winds of Death that I played like you also got to have winds of
- 53:20Death. Remember I'm telling I'm telling you the amber printed on it, the
- 53:23to capture and the discard makes it more valuable than just a straight three.
- 53:30Yeah, all right, next card, all right, dark Dark Memento.
- 53:37I love this card, and I know it's not going to get the get
- 53:39anything. But at the start of your turn, if you are not haunted,
- 53:45discard cards from the top of your deck until you are haunted. Oh,
- 53:49you get a pip a Vember every time you play it. By the
- 53:50way, scrap discards every time, not just sometimes every time you play it
- 53:55every time. That would be weird if there was like phasing Ember. Oh,
- 54:00I shouldn't give anybody ideas. That'd be a terrible thing, right,
- 54:05yeah, only on odd numbered turns that end in well, scrap scrap discard
- 54:13the top card from a player's deck if that car if that player is not
- 54:16haunted, repeat this effect. Didn't you say you're trademarking this wookie that you're
- 54:22really tired of giving others information that they use. Uh, yeah, that's
- 54:29probably gonna be in like I don't know, two sets from now. I
- 54:34like card. Yeah, it is an auto haunt every time. No matter
- 54:39what I do, I am haunted period. Can not be haunted now it's
- 54:44now. But I also come to the fact that, like, discard pips
- 54:47are a thing, and this set is not incredible. Some decks struggle to
- 54:52get there, but the decent decks don't seem to struggle to get haunted.
- 54:58This is a card that like seems like it's fine as long as you're not
- 55:02kind of bo focused and you're just generally a high value deck that has haunted
- 55:07effects. This card's great, right, Like, it seems good to me
- 55:13until somebody comes and keeps in furnacing you every turn. Yeah, I mean,
- 55:17but that's you know, I mean, it's just good against the set
- 55:21too, don't forget. Yeah, And there's all there is also like we
- 55:24just we just said we liked Boo, right, which can't see it a
- 55:28haunted But there are scenarios under which you're like, wait, I'm I'm not
- 55:31going to play Boo because my opponent has a Tangi Mangie and is gonna increase
- 55:38my key costs if I get haunted. I mean, you play this card
- 55:45and you will never forge a key again against dark Heart. Mm hmm yeah
- 55:53yeah. I mean, so you've listed literally Tangi Manji and dark Heart the
- 55:58two cards that will have a negative impact on it. Way to go,
- 56:00guys, but otherwise it might not be good. Otherwise it's furnace yea.
- 56:08In this set, we are trying to get haunted most of the time.
- 56:13This is really really good. You have haunted house and other things that have
- 56:15huge benefit for being able to be haunted. I think that there's a lot
- 56:20more positive for being haunted. So here's still here's your low carri and combo.
- 56:25Yeah, dark Memento okay, followed by animating forcing it. And then
- 56:36you're also playing on tamed. So you have dark Heart, and then you
- 56:39have that card that is that Now that's you have to have equoed on the
- 56:44card that is after you forge a key, give them the most powerful creature
- 56:47and some way you give them your dark Memento and you have dark Heart of
- 56:52the Forest. Somehow, somehow you're going to give them that they waste in
- 57:00my night their sheep. Thanks. Thanks, I'm gonna call it out,
- 57:04thank you. So if you have any of these combos, please let me
- 57:07know because I would love the game that never ends. What's dark Moment to
- 57:15Autsi? Where do you get it? Oh? I have it a three
- 57:19three. It's a little bit delayed as far as the Boo effect. If
- 57:22you just wanted to fire from hand, the scrap can't do the Boo effect.
- 57:27But that is not an amber, so no, I have it like
- 57:30one lower than Boo. That seems it's real close though, Yeah, yeah,
- 57:39it is slightly less than BOO. I agree, all right, Next
- 57:44car Dark Lamp. Here's a four power Spector robot. Each friendly creature with
- 57:50Amber on it gains elusive play capture one. So this is better once again
- 58:00in this house. That's not in the house, but in the set.
- 58:01Here's just a better version of an m M card. So the MM card
- 58:07was what three power and like xeric, yeah, you have three enhanced capture
- 58:15though, right, and this has play capture and basically but he was a
- 58:22mutant and a mutant set that was another Yeah, and this is a specter
- 58:28in the Spector house like robot like this pretty pretty good. It's that middle
- 58:34line three four area three. He does stuff. Yeah, you're capturing lots
- 58:39of amber. Having your guys have elusive is pretty good until they then get
- 58:44to fight Forever with their stupid brick nasties because everything is elusive. Why is
- 58:50fight Forever not a card name? Never mind, it's gotta be fight forever.
- 58:58We're all right, Well we're not all, but a lot of us
- 59:00in the community are wrestling nerds. We've all been to a match where they're
- 59:05chanting fight forever. That's neither here nor there. Back on Task Star Klampico,
- 59:09Fight to the End should have been named fight Forever, and fight to
- 59:14the end should kill the creature because it fights until its end. But yeah,
- 59:20lost opportunities, that's all I'm saying, missed opportunities. I like them.
- 59:27I'm putting them at his power four. He's a three. I have
- 59:30another three? Okay, fair enough, I dig them. Dimo the Elder
- 59:37Gas. There's no the just Dimo Elder Gas three Power two Armor Spector Robot
- 59:43Enhanced Capture Capture each friendly creature with Ember on a gains destroyed. If you
- 59:47are haunted, gain one for each Ember on this creature. What's uh,
- 59:53what's the Star Wars robot guy who steals all the lightsabers. General Greeb looks
- 1:00:00like him. Oh yeah it does. Yeah, with all the Swiss Army
- 1:00:06and I've so this is that and then destroyed. If you were haunted,
- 1:00:09gain one for each amber on this creature. This card is a game winner
- 1:00:15and be an absolutely in the right dereck. Yes, yeah, this is
- 1:00:22pretty crazy though. Yeah. I mean there's there's this with the guy that
- 1:00:29captures all their amber if you're haunted and then boom you I get all your
- 1:00:36amber two sort of. It's we were playing Sealed this weekend and I definitely
- 1:00:39got br geisted by the guy who captured all the amber and then Diamo ended
- 1:00:45up getting played and Winds of Death YadA, YadA. Yeah, no,
- 1:00:50it was brutal. Look at your opponent's decklist everybody and to capture pips.
- 1:00:55Yeah, so yeah, I want to say that four or five. Maybe
- 1:01:04I want to say six, but I know it's not so I'm gonna go
- 1:01:06five. It's the only downside of this is if you're playing against like a
- 1:01:12T M T P or i G deck. Yeah, just you know,
- 1:01:15don't want to set up where they can make you have ten billion amber.
- 1:01:19Well, I mean at that point then you don't, right, I mean
- 1:01:22you're you're in control, You're in control of this. Well, you can
- 1:01:25still play him, but just you're not gonna go for high ember. You
- 1:01:30know, they destroy your board, therefore pushing your amber pillow rule. Oh
- 1:01:34say, I'm thinking more of this guy. I'm gonna maybe wins the death
- 1:01:37that I'm gonna somehow kill him on play. I'm gonna play him and then
- 1:01:40somehow kill him in that turn to make sure I'm in control of when I'm
- 1:01:45gaining that number. All right, So you're gonna do if you have it.
- 1:01:51I'm talking about how your opponent can abuse this guard, which is where
- 1:01:53its score goes down. Yep, now I'm down, back down to a
- 1:01:58four. I don't think that. I think it's still pretty hot. Five.
- 1:02:02I guess multiples of this is yah, right, doubles up? Yeah,
- 1:02:09yeah, because you can trigger multiple destroyed effects. Pretty good, back
- 1:02:16up, Okay, I'll go five. I yeah, I just think I
- 1:02:22don't have anything with this yet. That's amazing, but kind of like in
- 1:02:28thoughts of multiples of them, but smaller amber captures. So like, I
- 1:02:31have a couple of guys with one amber on them, so when they die,
- 1:02:34I gain two when you get one back. That's probably overall more effective
- 1:02:38than the giant swing, because you can't do that and be behind nine.
- 1:02:43Key. Yeah, yeah, all right, I'm back up to a five
- 1:02:49at the current time. Mm hmm. I've had I've had a lot of
- 1:02:53hills and valleys with this card, so let's just find out I've got them
- 1:02:58at a five. But scale so like, if the second Dimo in your
- 1:03:02deck would be a six and the third Dimo in your deck would be an
- 1:03:06eight? Wow, an eight the scale? When he goes to six,
- 1:03:09you broke the scale. No, like, And I'm just giving you bonuses
- 1:03:16for having synergy, just giving that we don't really account for it. We
- 1:03:20just don't call them synergies. We call them bonuses. That way we can
- 1:03:23That way we can tax you more heavily on them later. Okay, Echo
- 1:03:28Fly Echo Fly two power one arm respective robot action. Return an action card
- 1:03:32from your discard pile to your hand. Scrap archive of the topmost action card
- 1:03:37from your discard pile. Does this gets scrapped more than played? Yeah?
- 1:03:43Probably? Yeah, I don't think this gets played. Yeah, I mean
- 1:03:49unless you can immediately put an amber on it and then ready it with that
- 1:03:52other guard and then two of these some way to capture there was they're not
- 1:04:00the two of these and that card that lets you ready things and you have
- 1:04:06amber on and that's some kind of rule of six junk. If you have
- 1:04:12a strong feeling with a capture pip, this will rule of six. Okay,
- 1:04:15that would be a way to do it and capture six. I still
- 1:04:23think scrap it would destroy Sixtember question. Oh no, so does a scrap
- 1:04:33trigger before I I discard this card, which is why this one it's a
- 1:04:43card and also actually says top most most actions. Do you have to go
- 1:04:47digging? Because they could have had this like archive the top action card,
- 1:04:54but that doesn't actually ever exist because this guy will always be the top card
- 1:05:00it hmmm. I still like the ability of recursion. I don't like the
- 1:05:08yellow eyes on the guy, but he's an echo fly. No, no,
- 1:05:15no, not the fly. The dude in the law. I don't
- 1:05:18know what they what whatever, I don't know what what it is like?
- 1:05:23What what? What? What part of war is that person? And I'm
- 1:05:30gonna go with the shadow wealth because why not. I just don't like it.
- 1:05:35Does it have ears? I don't know. It just look kind of
- 1:05:39like a shadow back to focus. Ah. Just I like the ability so
- 1:05:45much. Yeah, I mean it's a great way to archive your echo charge
- 1:05:51for the right time, right yeah, or your Winds of Death right back,
- 1:05:57or any good card, and this house has lots of them. So
- 1:06:01this has gotta be a five to six area because this is just silly five.
- 1:06:05I don't know if I can give it a six. I don't think
- 1:06:08it's six four all right, mm hmm, give us a number four or
- 1:06:18four. It is fantastic, all right. The card we've all been waiting
- 1:06:24for Ecto Charge Action card PIPA Vember. Every time you play it for Chakia
- 1:06:29plus twenty umber current cost reduced by one umber for each card in your discard
- 1:06:34pile if you do Perjecto charge. Can I say, this card at Common
- 1:06:45you ruined my night Tuesday. So here's the ecdo charge story from Tuesday,
- 1:06:51and I'm probably gonna post the video. So I got yeah from this weekend.
- 1:06:59So I got into a situation right where I'm like, I think I
- 1:07:03can win the game. So Ecto charges in my discard pile. But I
- 1:07:11have what is it, invigorating showers and I have a junk restoration in my
- 1:07:16hand, and just with the number of cards what I'm going to draw because
- 1:07:20I actually don't want to flip my deck at this point. With what's still
- 1:07:25left in my disccard pile plus the junk restoration, there's two junk restorations of
- 1:07:30the deck. The chances of me dr because I'm going to go down to
- 1:07:33two, so I'm going to drop four. I think I'm down to either
- 1:07:39like nine, five, Well there was at the end, Yeah, there
- 1:07:43was more before then, but right, but like so in my deck there's
- 1:07:46there's maybe nine cards, right, so with two junk restorations, I should
- 1:07:50easily be able to find the Ecdo charge and win the game. This is
- 1:07:56for third key. So what card did you play that it made me discard
- 1:08:00the bottom card of my deck? I don't know. I had a card
- 1:08:03that allowed the discard. It was amazing because Acto Charge went off a lot
- 1:08:10of shouts and joy. We got everyone's attention from those magic players. And
- 1:08:14then so then it makes me discard the bottom card of my deck, which
- 1:08:18happens to be Ecdo charge, but I totally forgotten. I thought at that
- 1:08:23point I had lost the game until I remembered a card that I played earlier
- 1:08:27in the game called Well of Memory, which allows me to purge any number
- 1:08:30of cards from my hand to go get a card from my discard pile,
- 1:08:35which happened to be ecdo charge. So junk restoration, junk restoration, I
- 1:08:39don't need any of them, Go get my ecdo charge. Ecto charge for
- 1:08:43third key. There some recursion and geistoids that is super ridiculous. Yeah,
- 1:08:54anyways, acto charge is clearly a high thing. I have actually found though
- 1:08:58that it is. It is definitely not you just get a key. It
- 1:09:02comes up early and you don't have a way to deal with it, like
- 1:09:05it's just in. It's an average. It's still a good card for sure,
- 1:09:12but it's not like this, like, oh, they have an ecto
- 1:09:15charge that we're only playing till two keys. It doesn't really work that way.
- 1:09:21So what you're saying, yes, you're saying it's only a six m
- 1:09:31I do hear something in your rambo sheep. You should be holding this card.
- 1:09:38You can't hold this card when you draw in the first five or six
- 1:09:41cards. Yes, you can No, you can't. All right, you
- 1:09:47can continue to do that. You you cannot do that in sealed decks that
- 1:09:54don't win the game probably Anyways, it's actual charge, is it's a third
- 1:10:00of your winning condition? Yes, it's a third of your turns. So
- 1:10:05the real the real question comes what else is in your deck for you to
- 1:10:12be able to recur cards and what does your opponent have that can go ahead
- 1:10:15and purge your discarded cards. You can go ahead and hold acto charge andcyl
- 1:10:21then see if it. I think that most of the time it's going to
- 1:10:25have to be a play for the amber or your discard. Like I just
- 1:10:29think that you're playing it for the amber and you're not gaining anything else off
- 1:10:31of it. Do I have them a met I think you'll need to do
- 1:10:35something like math on that. No, No, I don't think. I
- 1:10:41don't think that's that. Going ahead and holding it is going to go ahead
- 1:10:45and play out every turn means it's significantly longer until you get chained and can
- 1:10:53let alone get to the point where acto charge is going to forge. Okay,
- 1:10:57well, so what you're saying is it's a set. Yes, we
- 1:11:03have the best key sheet in the game. It definitely puts cheat in the
- 1:11:08word cheats played correctly. You're playing the two keys, and they are not
- 1:11:16most of the time. Is everyone most of are good? Isn't that what
- 1:11:23most of our good key sheets are doing? Is you played a two keys,
- 1:11:27like well, most most key sheets in this game, you still have
- 1:11:30to use six amber to forge with. This makes it free. You know
- 1:11:36what the best kind of keys are in key forge three keys because like like
- 1:11:43I said, I said it earlier too, Like, once you hit eighteen
- 1:11:45cards in your discard, it is already as good as key charge. Yes,
- 1:11:49in that manner. If you have if you have a boo, you're
- 1:11:54more more than halfway there. Yes, well eleven, Yeah, in any
- 1:12:01good deck that's going to have it, it's probably a key. I guess
- 1:12:05I haven't opened a good decks. Maybe that's my problem. That's that is
- 1:12:09a problem. Trust me. I did not like the set until the past
- 1:12:13two weeks where I opened something playable. Yep, all right, bearing on,
- 1:12:17let's go look at more good cards. M Empathic Malice. I like
- 1:12:24the card name, action card enhance, capture, capture play a friendly creature
- 1:12:29captures three. If you are haunted, put Empathic malice on the bottom of
- 1:12:32your deck. Okay, this may not be that great card we will refer
- 1:12:39to. It's not just two capture PEPs though, still have two capture pips.
- 1:12:43Therefore it's three. Oh no, this one's an action, so it's
- 1:12:45play capture three. If you're haunted, you put it back at the bottom,
- 1:12:49which means you'll see it. Yeah, it comes back around. I
- 1:12:55don't know. I don't I haven't played with this card to know if that's
- 1:12:59real. Meani, it's a rare. There is some world where like,
- 1:13:04if you have a good geistoid board, you can just play this card as
- 1:13:11your last card goes to the bottom drive and stay haunted forever and always be
- 1:13:14capturing three. Yeah, that's a thing. It's a thing. This is
- 1:13:23a card, I think, Andy there, that's right. It's a three.
- 1:13:27Yeah, maybe it's I've got an a three. Yeah, right.
- 1:13:32Most confusing card if I've come into in a while Energy vampiresm pip November.
- 1:13:39Every time you play it, play a creature captures one from its own side.
- 1:13:43For each ember on that creature, deal one damage to a creature.
- 1:13:47I don't know why this is confusing, well, because we still have not
- 1:13:51resolved whether I can split that damage up or I have to do it all
- 1:13:55for each each amber on that creature do a damage to a creature. So
- 1:13:59each amber you look at it and then you do a damage. Okay,
- 1:14:02this is this is a splitter yep, because I've asked you that question twice
- 1:14:08now and I've gotten two different answers from you. Now I am focused and
- 1:14:13listening. So before it was just random ramblings. Now it's focus because I
- 1:14:18was playing a game and I'm like, what are you talking about? So
- 1:14:23this is has an amber, pip slow steals one and does damage. Like
- 1:14:29all in all, this is a yes please up a decent card, but
- 1:14:34it doesn't do a lot of anything. Now, if they have a capture
- 1:14:39creature that already has a bunch of amber on it, you put one more
- 1:14:41on it and get to do a bunch of damage potentially if we're killing that
- 1:14:44creature and then getting all that amber. Like, I don't know. This
- 1:14:47card is a solid It seems like it should be a four instead of a
- 1:14:53three, but often it's just two amber and two amber is only a two
- 1:14:58or three in the Z score, right, it's better than a standard three
- 1:15:04Z. Yeah, I have had afore meanly because you do have a lot
- 1:15:11of This is potentially a lot of damage against some decks, especially in set
- 1:15:15right, like, oh, there goes your troller and all of its neighbors.
- 1:15:20I mean it probably kills an Anthony. Oh yeah, don't forget about
- 1:15:27Anthony, Anthony Anthony. It's a four. It's good. It's uncommon.
- 1:15:33You might even get to within your deck. And now we're gonna go to
- 1:15:38uh the cars passed somehow. Help from Future Self needs to be restricted,
- 1:15:47but but not this card and an alliance. They kept Time Traveler restricted because
- 1:15:53of Help from Future Self, which is half of this COmON swat each player's
- 1:15:59deck with their scarred piles, shuffle each player's deck. So it's kind of
- 1:16:08like a reverse time no, I mean it's yeah, okay, yeah,
- 1:16:15first time for both players without him yep, yeah, without the la to
- 1:16:24do anything. No Amber pips, rare spot. Yeah, I don't know.
- 1:16:33Situationally interesting, like this is one of those cards that this plus your
- 1:16:40ecto charge and hand on turned one is done. Yeah, so it's a
- 1:16:48three two two. I haven't added too. If after charge it exists,
- 1:16:56it would just be a one. But yeah, it's just two fair.
- 1:17:00Thankfully, ecto charge is common, so it's a good chance when you have
- 1:17:04one, you have the other one. Right, A lot of people who
- 1:17:10are sending Alpha score decks that I see this combo like it is, it's
- 1:17:13out there, but there's also the math on the two cards being in your
- 1:17:20opening hand is not not good spectacular, but it's just the possibility existing.
- 1:17:27It's relevant competitively. Oh sure, I mean it's good, there's no question,
- 1:17:31but I don't. I mean, I think I'd rather have a higher
- 1:17:36value, a higher value card in my deck that doesn't just anyways for card
- 1:17:47three, I'd rather, yes, have something that provides more value here and
- 1:17:50just ecto charge for K three, Like Boo is a four, because it
- 1:17:55is just that much better than this. Most of the time, I would
- 1:18:01take a Boo over this m Hollow to Eve Festival Pep a Vember. Every
- 1:18:08time you play it action, discard the top five cards to your deck.
- 1:18:11For each guy studied card discarded. This way, a friendly creature captures one
- 1:18:16just the most just mediocre. Like it's fine, it's fine, but you're
- 1:18:24not super excited. But the fact that getting you haunted early with this card
- 1:18:29makes it a little better. Like this just this just lives in the land
- 1:18:33of like. I'm not sad to have it, I'm not excited to have
- 1:18:38it. Car. I've definitely recurred this card because it's the only amber control
- 1:18:45the deck has. It combos a lot with you. If you have the
- 1:18:49right bots, it's good. But you do have to have the right bots.
- 1:18:55Yeah, but this is fantastic. Yeah, but you have to have
- 1:18:59your other geist cards in your deck or discard or whatever in your deck to
- 1:19:06be able to discard them to get that effect. Sure, you're always it's
- 1:19:12fine. Five cards a discard one, two or three of them are most
- 1:19:15likely somewhere in that range you're capturing one. Yeah, Like I said,
- 1:19:18this card is fine, Like there's cars designed like this is fine. But
- 1:19:27that's all I can say about it. It doesn't get you excited, it
- 1:19:30doesn't. It's just it's just fine. Two average three average perfect harvest skimmer,
- 1:19:34five power specter Robot. After reap, discard the top card of your
- 1:19:40deck if it's a creature gain one mac This is whatever a five power generic
- 1:19:46creature two, but often one, so I think a two three possibility if
- 1:19:56sometimes two. Most of the time, just the one gets you haunted faster
- 1:20:00A three two. It is a big body at five two five its it
- 1:20:10looks like it tang tangela tangkem on all. That's all the time. There
- 1:20:20you go, thank you. Oh I have it at a three, I
- 1:20:26could see it too, but I do currently have it out of three out
- 1:20:30of the commons for guys to it, this is the card I don't want
- 1:20:32to see. Really, yeah, this is what This is the weakest common.
- 1:20:39That's that's just a statement on how good the comments are. You know,
- 1:20:42the comments are very good, but this one is not. I have
- 1:20:45to look, isn't the weakest common? Very well? Like it? Well,
- 1:20:51I mean like half of your deck is creatures mathematically so like fifty time
- 1:20:58at read for two and it helps haunted. It's it's it's a three from
- 1:21:02the next one is not the weakest common. Nope, haunted house artifact.
- 1:21:08At the start of your turn. You are not haunted to scard the top
- 1:21:11card of your deck Omni. If you are haunted, gain a number.
- 1:21:16This is hard comes in multiples, and it is a better mecha buoy that
- 1:21:24you are in control of, and it haunts you. Yep uh and do
- 1:21:34I The artwork for not caring about artwork. Haunted houses are cool. Do
- 1:21:40we dare go with the six? I think I do? This is this
- 1:21:47is a five, six seven, Yeah, I think this is a six.
- 1:21:51I think this is a six seven eight. It might even be one
- 1:21:55of those like six eight tens you can only get to only when did it
- 1:22:01too, Yeah, it's like binding iron. Okay, either way, I'm
- 1:22:05giving it a six because I mean, this card is just dumb. Yeah.
- 1:22:13I am that this card gets stolen a lot, because there's a lot
- 1:22:17of artifacts stealing in this in this spontaneous awakening. Well that's one of them,
- 1:22:24but there are others, and this is definitely a prime target for yoinking.
- 1:22:28Yes, I'll have that. I do have it out of six,
- 1:22:33and it scales up to a plus one if if you have dose, if
- 1:22:38you have the second one. I did have two in my deck on Sunday
- 1:22:42one of the games. I did play both of them on my first heard
- 1:22:45and the game was over very fast. Yeah. I found that if you
- 1:22:48get these out quickly, it's the fact that you get haunted so quick,
- 1:22:53so you're already getting all the benefits so quickly, and then every turn after
- 1:22:58you're haunted just gaining two who would turn? Yeah, all right, well
- 1:23:03you know what, these cards have not been good, so let's look at
- 1:23:08something good. Was that card was only a six, So maybe we should
- 1:23:14look at another only a six in here somewhere. Remember every time you play
- 1:23:19it, if you are haunted, archive two cards from your discard pile other
- 1:23:23eyes, discard the top five cards of your deck. Like the only one
- 1:23:28of the few actually good cards in DT was that Logos card that let you
- 1:23:34just and you had to pick two different kinds of PA, two different types,
- 1:23:41and and that card was good. This card is better? Yeah,
- 1:23:46five five. Just take your best cards in your deck that you just flipped
- 1:23:57off the top and put them in your archive for the time you need them.
- 1:24:00Like, uh, I do have it at a five. I do
- 1:24:02understand the vote for a six, but like, I have had so much
- 1:24:05fun playing this card, Like I love the fact that you could, Like
- 1:24:10I'm going to get an amber and then hey, I'm gonna archive Act Charge
- 1:24:14and winds of Change like you show them the combo. Yeah, I'm just
- 1:24:19gonna put those over here for later past turn. Yeah, yeah, it's
- 1:24:26all right good. In four power Specter Robot Skirmish treachery, versatile at the
- 1:24:36end of your turn, destroy infiltrator's neighbor, neighbors, neighbors. Sorry,
- 1:24:44I feel like I've seen this card before and this is a better version of
- 1:24:46it. Yep, this is just a much better version of Skollie Caper.
- 1:24:51I don't know if I agree. Like Collie's a little smaller, are he
- 1:24:58also skirmish, He also treachers, he also versatiles, so he also destroys
- 1:25:03a neighbor, so you can't kill it is the four power enough difference we
- 1:25:09do a lot of Like we talked about that a long time ago in mini
- 1:25:13casts. How there's a huge difference between one to two, two to three,
- 1:25:16and especially from three to four. A four power versatile skirmisher on the
- 1:25:21other side of the battle line, like he does reap a lot. Like
- 1:25:26that's I mean, yeah, he's either reaped or killing something that probably matters
- 1:25:29to you every single turn, but he is keeping them their board pretty pretty
- 1:25:35beat down. Like I've not felt too bad about playing this card. I
- 1:25:40also don't hair for this card that much either, Like this is this is
- 1:25:46like the classic two Like it's yeah, it could be worse, but I
- 1:25:53want to currently haven't added two because I just copied scally Caeper because that's really
- 1:25:58how I value you. But I saw this in play on Sunday when I
- 1:26:01started killing like stuff, I cared a lot more about. I felt a
- 1:26:08little bit bad about blaming it, more so than I would have if it
- 1:26:12was just the Caper. So all right, right now, it's still a
- 1:26:16two go down. I feel like we're gonna go through this line and call
- 1:26:20it a day. This is the biggest house that we've had thus far because
- 1:26:25it's it is all new cards. So I feel like, let's get through
- 1:26:28this line of cards. We're not halfway through the alphabet yet, right,
- 1:26:31and you can. We'll come back to Geistoid because I mean number one it's
- 1:26:36just really good, you know what. But let's finish on what it's probably
- 1:26:41another six. Well, we're gonna go all the way to the end of
- 1:26:44this line. So we're gonna go to Island of Misfit Toys. Artifact action
- 1:26:48return each guy's Toyd card from your diskcard pile to your hand. Oh.
- 1:26:54I wish it wasn't rare though, but it is Purge Island of miss This.
- 1:27:00This was in uh local car sealed deck and this was just some bullshit
- 1:27:08in the game, playing the game, playing the game that He's like,
- 1:27:11you know what, I just get to play all twelve cards of this house
- 1:27:14is turn how you feel about that eleven cards? I was like, well,
- 1:27:23one of them's acto charged, so not very good. G buddy,
- 1:27:29you just start cleaning up your stuff if you can't this. This is another
- 1:27:32card where it's like if you can't answer it, just towards the end of
- 1:27:35the end of their deck, They're just like, and I play all of
- 1:27:38that house and you're just like, past, how about that? Like I
- 1:27:44almost wonder if this damn thing, this would probably still be a ridiculously good
- 1:27:48card, I said, return each card and then something about after you play
- 1:27:53a card, purge it, and this would still be a crazy good card.
- 1:27:58Gain twelve chains. Your opponent draws ten cards because you just won the
- 1:28:03game when you use this anyways, this should be one of those your opponent
- 1:28:08draws ten cards cards. Now I'm like, I don't know, I don't
- 1:28:12know if this is as broken and did just absolutely just drawing things against me.
- 1:28:20This is this is a card that I had not seen. I had
- 1:28:24not seen in the I'd not seen the stack. This this card from the
- 1:28:29stuff at KFC because I didn't pay that much attention to what people are having.
- 1:28:32But man, seen it play This thing is focus. I would like
- 1:28:38one of these cards please. So is it a five? I guess that
- 1:28:43question? Is it just asking the questions? You got to make good radio
- 1:28:49somewhere? They they hit all the highlights of whites and six except for one,
- 1:28:55like obviously the most obvious gumbo there is ecto charge. But like,
- 1:29:00you can't forget that key abduction is in set printed at uncommon like lay game.
- 1:29:08This also auto fires key abduction. Guys, like, that's two stinking
- 1:29:15turns. Okay, yeah, this turn you do it. I'm just saying,
- 1:29:19at least that's two stinking turns. Yeah, no, it's it's ridiculous,
- 1:29:26right, Like this is this card is I don't I mean like this
- 1:29:30is this is all? This is another card where it's like, you know,
- 1:29:33a Rise was considered good, grim Reminders was considered good. Let's just
- 1:29:39take all that ship and make it look like like a misfit toy. This
- 1:29:45is this card is broken. It's broken for two different key sheets that you're
- 1:29:49gonna see a lot of. It's real good. That is not a Locari
- 1:29:54and combo loc car. This is just crazy. Like on a early turn
- 1:29:59with futures pass, you play this and you play your future and then you
- 1:30:03play your Acto charge and then you just come back and play the other well
- 1:30:09the nine of cards that are left and just go haa, or you have
- 1:30:14the key abduction and it's just it's you're winning at turn three, very very
- 1:30:19good. At least it is hot draw like it's a lot of the good
- 1:30:24cards. Yeah, this is this is good, this is good good.
- 1:30:30Yes, yes, we've already already went past that junk restoration every time.
- 1:30:38That Wasn't that the end of the line. No, that's not the end
- 1:30:40of the line. That's the start of the line. Is your screen,
- 1:30:44oh reservation? Remember every time you didn't play it enhanced with two distair two
- 1:30:50tight pips What that's what that's that's what she was calling the discards. Make
- 1:31:00your deck play tight the trash and you play a tight game two tight pipsy.
- 1:31:08It's great. Come on, roll it nice and come on, just
- 1:31:11just go along with it. What are you doing? Play? Discard,
- 1:31:15Discard the top three cards. Discard the top three cards. Love your deck.
- 1:31:21You may put a card discarded this way into your hand, so fairly,
- 1:31:28I go, ish, may it is in order? And I already
- 1:31:34see people not doing that, because you discard cards one at a time here,
- 1:31:41right, like, at least I think that's how it's supposed to work,
- 1:31:43Like you would discard cards one at a time, tiller three and you
- 1:31:45pick from the top three. I see people they put them off to the
- 1:31:48side, they pick one, and then they kind of put them back and
- 1:31:50whatever they want, yes, which is probably not. Yeah, you should
- 1:31:59definitely be discarded all three to your discard pile, then picking one of them
- 1:32:02and returning that one to your hand. That is the order of this card.
- 1:32:05So people are playing this, play it clean, right, Those cards
- 1:32:12go in in the way they flip from the deck, so just try to
- 1:32:15play clean. But this card is crazy. I do feel like they just
- 1:32:20failed a bit on both either either the the flavor text or the name that
- 1:32:28has nothing about dumpster diving here. But I also like to restore some junk
- 1:32:35because this card is pretty amazing. Yeah, I mean it's just better than
- 1:32:41I gore, right, I mean two tight pips the helper bot are they
- 1:32:47like fixing a miniature helper bot there? Like No, that's got like a
- 1:32:53skull face on it. I think that's like a little little voodoo doll.
- 1:32:57It could be. Mm. I like it it's a five. Yeah,
- 1:33:02I think it's a five. Is it only a five? Is it a
- 1:33:06six? I don't think it's quite as good as it's a five. It's
- 1:33:11like right in there within here somewhere, mainly because of the two just that
- 1:33:16tight pips. I have been there somewhere a little a little above this,
- 1:33:21but this is still very good. The those tight pips make decks like there
- 1:33:28were some super tight decks out there. M hmmm. I am. When
- 1:33:32I'm opening a new groom Reminders deck that is actually the first thing I'm really
- 1:33:36looking at is how many discard pips, And when there's like one or two,
- 1:33:40I am already just disappointed in the deck. Yeah, I'm just like,
- 1:33:46this is not going to be fun. I didn't start looking for them
- 1:33:49until that deck I pulled a few weeks was either a week or two ago
- 1:33:54where I had enough tight pips to just be like, yeah, I played
- 1:33:57two houses. Yeah I don't have It really doesn't matter what my third house
- 1:34:03is. These are the two that I want to play, especially like if
- 1:34:08all of the discard pips are on like Geistoid in Mars, and Mars has
- 1:34:12that other like common that lets you discard a non Mars card, like like
- 1:34:16those decks Place so Fat. It's really really cool. Yeah, I oh
- 1:34:23and I then there's some of them that have discard pips on them too.
- 1:34:26Yeah. We haven't got there, but I really like Terrible Teammates. Terrible
- 1:34:30Terrible Teammates love that card. It's very fun, all right. Junkyard Cemetery,
- 1:34:35Well, there is a combined it's artifacts. Sorry, there is a
- 1:34:39while there is a combined total of ten or more cards between your purge cards
- 1:34:44and discard pile. You are haunted action purge a card in your discard pile.
- 1:34:55I think this is a deck type card. If you like this makes
- 1:35:00this can make haunted house decks, not haunted house, cursed house, curse
- 1:35:04curse to we'll get to the words curse tomb far more playable because one of
- 1:35:13the things that I found with a curse tomb was that it made it hard
- 1:35:16to stay haunted, or hard to get haunted, or hard to make that
- 1:35:19big discard, which then made that then makes your ecto charge harder to pull
- 1:35:26off and you may still need to play curse tune because it's the only way
- 1:35:32you can permanently control the other players, or like there are reasons this can
- 1:35:39play into that. On average, this card is probably not very good,
- 1:35:46but I think it may be meaningful in a few decks, Like there will
- 1:35:50be a few decks where this is a card that that makes it really sing
- 1:35:56a little better. I think it's gonna be few and far between, though
- 1:36:00I wouldn't boost the score much on this. I gave it a one.
- 1:36:03I wonder what this card though, and a little bit of other purging.
- 1:36:09If you could find a deck that will play geistoids as the only house and
- 1:36:15you just get rid of everything else you just played ten cards or eleven cards.
- 1:36:21Yeah, when you try to for out to play your cursive disappearance on
- 1:36:24yourself forgetfulness so you can just discard pit purge, discard pit perche. And
- 1:36:33I originally added this thing at a one. I did see it do some
- 1:36:38interesting things, and in furnace does exist, which I expected first to have
- 1:36:42a comeback. I moved it up to it too, just because it come
- 1:36:45back. Woe killed it. It all got moved to alliance. What's alliance
- 1:36:56hopefully a friday of it. Let's go to. Maybe we'll find out in
- 1:37:03April, but maybe we won't, but maybe we'll find out the day of
- 1:37:10Let's go to. What do you guys want to play? Okay, yeah,
- 1:37:15let's go to. Cast X is the combined total, so it has
- 1:37:23x for power. X is the combined total of amber between each player's pools.
- 1:37:30Each friendly geist stoid creature gains play slash destroyed, each player gains an
- 1:37:35umber. Means this happens. I played that wrong. So okay, So
- 1:37:46if you have zero amber when you play this, he comes into play,
- 1:37:51say say both players have zero it's the first card you play, right,
- 1:37:55he has zero power, so he gets marked as destroyed and dies before his
- 1:38:01play effect goes off. But the destroyed effects does happen, and then you'll
- 1:38:06have one amber. Yeah okay, So and just thinking about that, that
- 1:38:12that is a thing I'm sure that'll get played wrong where people play this give
- 1:38:15themselves an amber and keep them alive. But that's not hollywould work. It's
- 1:38:19the first card played. I have seen this played against me, and once
- 1:38:26they're key ahead because this set doesn't do amazing Galien amber control often once they're
- 1:38:32key ahead, they just push hard and go eh whatever. I've seen that
- 1:38:39done with caspara and lost. That seems fair, so that you almost can't
- 1:38:49play it in set true, and it gets awkward if you're up against dmtps
- 1:38:57and graphs and all that. Right, So I was almost about to say,
- 1:39:00are we should This isn't the worst common but this is rare, so
- 1:39:05I mean it's gonna be No, it's very situational, no one. I
- 1:39:13think it's that it's been played for wins more than once I've seen, and
- 1:39:18it's been the card that causes the game to end in them win. Well,
- 1:39:24I played it wrong, so I have to figure it. Yeah,
- 1:39:28I have to figure out how you're you're dirty cheater, dirty cheater. Yep.
- 1:39:34I don't like it, but yes, like Dexter is saying, it
- 1:39:39is like diplomat, and diplomat wins games sometimes too, and sometimes you can't
- 1:39:45report it. It is a thing, right, like it's it is.
- 1:39:49You can't always play it, but it can cause runaway game state two.
- 1:40:00Let's just not thinking. And then they all destroy So you play all your
- 1:40:02guystoids and you destroy all your geystoids because your key ahead. And then just
- 1:40:06say, you can't stop me because I have twenty two Amber. It's just
- 1:40:11better inset because of scaling amber. Yeah, I think against scaling amber.
- 1:40:15It's a problem. But there's so many key sheets in this set. Glast
- 1:40:27sure. Then then you don't play it. I mean, then he goes
- 1:40:29in the discard. I don't know what is easy. It's too slighted.
- 1:40:35I haven't had a one, and he always comes with these shitty other cards
- 1:40:39that we haven't talked about yet. Oh yeah he has Wait the it's I
- 1:40:47think Dexter said it's the fragments. I don't know, precocious fragments. Oh
- 1:40:59they linked and those aren't good cards. So yeah, okay, so this
- 1:41:08guy is uh like if he didn't come with them, like I would have
- 1:41:13given him a two. I mowed him down to one because he comes with
- 1:41:16those because he still does have some value, and even those have some value.
- 1:41:20So like, I don't think I can go to a zero here,
- 1:41:23and I think he can actually be linked to one of them, the one
- 1:41:27like the clock shit where you get like half your pod. It can be
- 1:41:31one or two cards. If it was three of them all the time,
- 1:41:35it would definitely be a zero. But I'm I need to go look at
- 1:41:40some more decks, but I'm pretty sure he can't come with just one of
- 1:41:43the fragments. The one I have has two. But more cards. We
- 1:41:48got one more, three more we have moment, So another boss asked common
- 1:41:56one power specter fairy. Okay, play destroyed, archive the top card of
- 1:42:00your discard pile, play and destroyed and this card. Oh good, that's
- 1:42:09super good. Common like every you know, like they do get to destroy
- 1:42:17it sometimes to make you have a messy archive sort of. Yeah, but
- 1:42:24they also sometimes go, I can't destroy it because you'll archive a good card,
- 1:42:29so I have to leave it and then you come back and reap with
- 1:42:30it, or fight and archive some other good card this thing or good or
- 1:42:38if he gets a tight on him and you're allowed to discard a card from
- 1:42:43your hand and then archive that card. He also has a very excellent creepy
- 1:42:47flavor text you will make him excellent. But he's kind of looking at a
- 1:42:57dead body. Yeah, yeah, up, he's a creeper. Yep,
- 1:43:02pretty good. I think that's what you walk said to all of us.
- 1:43:06Is he walking back yet? No, he's off making somebody an excellent friend.
- 1:43:14I always said he'd be back. I don't know. I really like
- 1:43:18the Matt. I really really like it's it's very good. Occasionally, like
- 1:43:24you're playing, you know, your junk restorations, I have never had.
- 1:43:29I have never had that. Yeah, I have never had that's actually great.
- 1:43:34He's fantastic with junk rack. Yeah, or your boo maybe, I
- 1:43:40don't know. Occasionally put your foot back like he's yeah, it's good.
- 1:43:45It's a five. This is a five. Yeah, it's gotta be right.
- 1:43:50I had it at a four. Yeah, I moved up to a
- 1:43:54five. There's no reason for not say it doesn't scale up as you get
- 1:43:57more of them though, right, no, it does not to twist goes
- 1:44:00to eleven. So guys, we improved the guystids score today. Cool.
- 1:44:06Nice, But this is the house I've passed so many times trying to like
- 1:44:14lower it, which is probably why the Met is a a four. But
- 1:44:16like I, I played with momet not this last time. I didn't have
- 1:44:20it, but I did the weekend before it, and it's just stupid good.
- 1:44:24It's just so dumb. Like I had I had two Mamets and one
- 1:44:27of them had a discard pip. It was just bullshit. Yeah, it's
- 1:44:31just it's so dumb. I'm in a discard. I mean definitely, I'll
- 1:44:36be archiving this card. It doesn't say that, but it might as well.
- 1:44:42But it's not just it's not yeah, it's just archive efficiency. Just
- 1:44:45and then on the flip on the flip side too, like it destroyed too,
- 1:44:50Like it's so good. All right, Well, let's men something.
- 1:44:55Men are two power two armor Spector robot play slash after reap perject card from
- 1:45:00your discard pile. Fully heal and word each robot creature from a discard pile.
- 1:45:06Oh I'm sorry, is it from a discard pile? Fully heal and
- 1:45:11word each robot creature very one side? What does he linked with? So
- 1:45:17if you're gonna do all right? So he's not linked So he shares a
- 1:45:21rarity slot with soul Tender. What do you mean he shares a rarity slot.
- 1:45:29So like a long time ago we had Master of one, Master of
- 1:45:31two, Master of three. Yeah, they shared a rare So like when
- 1:45:35you pulled like that rare slot with you would get one of the three.
- 1:45:44This share shares an ender slot. If you pull that as you're rare,
- 1:45:48you get one of the two. So he is actually more rare than any
- 1:45:53other rare in this set, so you will see half as many of them
- 1:45:58in depths then any other rare. So a lot of like a lot of
- 1:46:05the power we've kind of been talking about within this house has been off.
- 1:46:10They're destroyed or like they have amber and then they get something for having the
- 1:46:14amber on them. Uh, this in a way slows that game play down,
- 1:46:20but it also if you just got a bunch of amber captured, because
- 1:46:26there's like there are what like two creatures in this house that are not robots.
- 1:46:32Also of robots, it is a two sided ward though it'll ward theirs
- 1:46:39too. Yeah, outside of set, there are not that many robots.
- 1:46:45My son pulled a deck with one of these and I explained what I just
- 1:46:49and it was really cool because he had some robots in Star Alliance as well,
- 1:46:55and he was just able to award his whole board and then just go
- 1:46:58to time and hilarious enough, the Grim Reaper is a robot. Yeah,
- 1:47:02every time you reap this, the like this is play and after reap,
- 1:47:09yeah, you're very good against offset and you just keep getting to take away
- 1:47:14their best cards and keep your ridiculous board going, like this is gonna wards
- 1:47:19himself, rewards himself. So you got to do four damaged twice, or
- 1:47:24you know, four damage on the second hit, or or yeah it's good.
- 1:47:30I think, yeah, this card seems like it should be really strong.
- 1:47:32It's five. Ironically, the other one's better. Huh. Have the
- 1:47:40scroll down because these are in a special slot. I have him at a
- 1:47:42four. That was before I saw it play. I am moving it up
- 1:47:45to a five right now until you somebody with guys starting to be like,
- 1:47:51this card sucks, it's a two like all of you. Well, there
- 1:47:56are more specters than robots actually, and the other one is most of them
- 1:48:01are spector robots, but there are some that are spector vehicle. So you
- 1:48:06know what a specter. What what makes us card? What could have made
- 1:48:14this card good is if it would awarded the clocks to make them actually stick
- 1:48:18around and do their things. He doesn't award clocks, so he's so clocks
- 1:48:25continue to stink, and he continues to be good. But the clocks inspectors.
- 1:48:29The other one them, oh is the other one word spectors. I
- 1:48:34actually have mender in my clock deck, so there you go. Wow,
- 1:48:38yeah that's all right. This is a four four, okay, but maybe
- 1:48:46a five. Maybe probably a four good card. What did you say?
- 1:48:51It's a five? Like this card. If you have this and four other
- 1:49:00create four other robots on board. Like that's just this is like board wind
- 1:49:04pretty good. Yeah, that's what he was doing. He was just reaping
- 1:49:08out with the boards, rewarding everything and using the reaper tords and then rewarding
- 1:49:12everything. Oh that's really funny. All right. Last card for the night,
- 1:49:16and we'll call it the Green Goblin, I mean mischievous three power aspect
- 1:49:25a robot. Do you do not see the Green Goblin in this? A
- 1:49:28little bit? With the little bomb three power aspect a robot. After a
- 1:49:35friendly geist a creature entrance play, each player discards the top two cards of
- 1:49:41their deck. After reap, play the topmost creature from your discard pile.
- 1:49:48Wow does this turn a lot of cards? Mm hmmm. I don't know
- 1:49:55if you ever get used out of the second ability, I mean, if
- 1:49:59it reap it's good, very power. It also dies quickly. But I
- 1:50:04don't know this card. Well yeah, but like this is like hunting witch
- 1:50:12or whatever, right, or I mean like which the which of the wild?
- 1:50:17No? No, the witch that brings back a card. It's that
- 1:50:23kind of sort of good. Or there's the other two ones. There's the
- 1:50:27the Inspector Lee guy from star Line too, but he enters play ready sometime.
- 1:50:33Yeah. Those are all the way better than this one. Yeah,
- 1:50:36but this is that quality of effect, but the other ones are a little
- 1:50:42easier to make it happen. The Doctor Zixel fricks too, but that actually
- 1:50:45it's play it and ready it and you get to choose any Mars creature.
- 1:50:50This is just top most. But like this this effect is like you're gonna
- 1:50:56be happy to do this reap effect, but it is hard to do.
- 1:51:00The discarding after playing at Geistoid doesn't feel meaningful to me at this point.
- 1:51:09So this leaves it in the two range because it's just gonna die all the
- 1:51:13time. Yeah, I think all the other cards that allow you to play
- 1:51:18it, but you're doing to your opponent. Can my opponent too? Okay?
- 1:51:29All right, sure that's that is a potential place that I I'm not
- 1:51:33saying it doesn't do anything. I'm just saying I don't feel like it's like
- 1:51:38super duper meaningful, and it's one of those things like you might not be
- 1:51:43able to play at geisty creature because it's going to knock you out a haunted
- 1:51:45faster, because this is every time it's important to Okay, like she is
- 1:51:54also linked to protective playmates. Okay, Protectically they're taunty creatures. While you're
- 1:52:03haunted, they get plus six power. Okay, so they're really big taunters,
- 1:52:12which makes her a little easier to do her thing. They thankfully don't
- 1:52:15say can't reap. I don't think that. I don't think to reduce her
- 1:52:19value does mean jack anymore. They're not bad taunts. They are I mean,
- 1:52:28but splash attack is like real, Like that is a real thing that
- 1:52:30we have to face every single week, like splash attack in Yeah, well
- 1:52:38and so popular sets. That still leaves her in the two three range for
- 1:52:47me based off of those like that problem. It's fine, but I'm definitely
- 1:52:54not searching out to have her. Well she's rare too, so hey,
- 1:53:01I mean I search out Artanu Dacks. That's because you're weird, not because
- 1:53:05you're This card is more like that kind of just like you know, it's
- 1:53:11not bad. Somebody might like it and it's fine, but I don't see
- 1:53:15this like being like this is why I'm winning a tournament. Yeah, no,
- 1:53:17I don't think it's winning anything. So no, I think you're in
- 1:53:21I think you're right in the two three range. It's a lot more versatile
- 1:53:25than you're giving it credit for. But uh, or at least the main
- 1:53:29ability I don't think you have. I don't think you ever get the second
- 1:53:34ability to fire. I don't take a caspara over her. Yeah, I
- 1:53:42don't want either one. Yeah, okay, card to give everyone a number.
- 1:53:47Yeah, I guess two for this. I think I think I think
- 1:53:54two is proper. I do have her at a two, and then I
- 1:53:58have these started out three, but they start scaling down. You can just
- 1:54:03get two playmates, but there are decks that have five of them, so
- 1:54:08that sucks. Robots. So when you get your super rare mischievous Mender docmates,
- 1:54:21yeah you want Sultender instead. Yeah, you basically always want Sultander.
- 1:54:26But if you get Mender, you should still be happy because it's good.
- 1:54:31Yeah. All right, Well that's gonna do it for us tonight. We're
- 1:54:35gonna split these guys into two because it's getting late and there is still I
- 1:54:40believe five rows of cards to go through, so it is bed time for
- 1:54:45Arkans Corner. Thank you guys all for listening to again us again this week.
- 1:54:49Don't forget. Go over to patreon dot com. Throw us a dollar,
- 1:54:54get some ac uh some a well. I think a dollar gets you
- 1:55:00gets you some imports for draw better dollar gets you like thirty imports and a
- 1:55:08Z score. Ten dollars gets you like a ton of imports and several Z
- 1:55:15scores and making Z do work. It's our favorite way to get paid.
- 1:55:18I we can just give us two dollars because they like it. They could,
- 1:55:25but that's not how they might give us money to stop talking. But
- 1:55:29it's not for liking us. I mean, give us stuff money. We
- 1:55:31will find a way to tell you what we got to do five dollars tier,
- 1:55:35which is we just took an episode one week a month. And in

- 1:57:05to cut out a coffee time if we want to do anything else. Yeah,
- 1:57:09they'd have to pay them overtime. Yeah, we can't. We can't
- 1:57:12cut in the coffee time. That's not a lot. No, no,
