  Speaker 4: I don't have a go to work.

• 0:29
  Speaker 2: got my left hand man, Cole, Robbie was everyone's favorite
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: red shirt, and that creepy kid in your science class deck.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Sir, Hello, hello everybody, and Felix is that.
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: I guess I'm a red hand man this time?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Why not? It seems fair? Right?
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: Are you saying you need two hands?
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: I mean not the I mean you can't. You can't.
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: Well that's objective.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not for everything, but for some things you do
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: need two hands. Anyway, got some stuff and things to
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: go over for you this week. As Cole likes to
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: call it, the article sodes, a couple of articles released
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: to Day No. One was released a few days ago.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: One was released today.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the big important one was released today.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: So we're gonna go through the kind of the quick
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: one again. It's just more stuff about the Tumult Championships.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: They got a nice little link in there for if
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: you want to find your local Tumult championships and contacting
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: your stores to see if they're participating. And a judge
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: quiz ooh ooh, judge quiz ooh, I like those.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: I like the judge quiz just filled it out, got
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: a twenty three out of twenty eight.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you need to do question? How do
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: you pass? What?
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Twenty four better? Is like you're definitely a good judge
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: and I think more than eighteen is like pretty solid understanding.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: But maybe need to like brush up on the rules
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: a little bit more before being a judge, is what
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: they said.
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they have a rubric built onto it.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Do they have like where do I go? Like if
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I were like I want to be a judge, Like
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: where would I go find them?
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: So not yet, But what is happening is they just
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: hired Cedric who is the organized play director out in Paris,
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: and he is beginning work on the judge program. And
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: that's kind of what this is a start of.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: So, so who is their organized play director for U
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: North America?
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Justin?
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Justin, Okay, I wasn't sure. I was like, I wonder
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: who's on the base ground here for the United States
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: of A.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Yep, it's justin.
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: He's usually at all of the conventions.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: Super cool dude.
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: We've talked about him a couple times, talked to him
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: a couple of times myself, blah blah blah. But yeah,
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: the Tumult article is just kind of a recap and
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: some information and reminders for stores, and then that judge
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: quiz as you said, But the big kahuna is the
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: one that actually dropped today, which is the mid season patch.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some interesting information in here. So we start off
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: with the state of the game. Traviy Frost has been
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: out for almost two months now. We're thrilled with how
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: well it's been received. Many cards have found their home
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: into existing ducklists, leading to the rise of new strategies.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Competitive events, both online and in store, are showcasing a
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: wide variety of factions heroes. To give you a snapshot
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: in today's meta game, we've pulled a few numbers from
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: current season two on Board Game Arena. So nice little
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: spread here, Actually, I was actually quite surprised with how
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: the spread is so going from I guess top to bottom,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Yizmir is pulling in about twenty percent a little over
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Bravos nineteen, Ortis eighteen. I feel like that's a big
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: fall from grace for them. No, just me, okay, well it.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Being gone. Yeah, they actually literally the least hero out
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: of all of them.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: They break it down Sigma sigasmyn wingspan fourteen, Golerang and
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: tocsin three point four, Waru and Mac one percent.
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: Yep, I loved I'd loved seeing Goring having a higher
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: percentage than Waru.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: But yeah, this is the the BGA.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: Stats, and from what I understand, they take it as
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: a whole. And on the bottom of the graph here
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: it says data collected on Board Game Arena between January
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: thirty first and March twenty first. So I think the
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: meta is the healthiest that's ever been I.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Will say it. I mean it's a pretty healthy Matamuna
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: at fifteen, Lyra at fourteen, Axiom at eleven. I mean
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: that's that's a decent spread.
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, a lot of people will complain about second heroes
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: being present too much, but it is nowhere near what
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: it was like back when Waru was.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Ruled the world.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I will say, this isn't exactly saying this is the
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: meta decks. This is just the ones that are most played,
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: so it's more of like a scale of popularity. So
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: it's possible that Axiom is even weaker in the meta,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: and there's just people that enjoy Axiom and play it
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: regardless of its strength, and that's why its numbers are
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: that high.
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: Very possible.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: One day y'all are going to have to explain to
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: me this obsession with losing. I don't really get it,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: but you know.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: I personally hate losing. But I'm just saying there are
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: people out there that are fine with losing and will
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: just play what they want and enjoy even if they
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: know it sucks and it's very difficult to wear. And
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: I think there are definitely some Axiom players that fall
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: into that category.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: I built a random Navenka like two weeks ago and
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: I lost to a starter Deck's so pretty bad, but
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: it was fun.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Again, this is weird fun. This is weird territory. I've
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: never had fun in a losing match. But how.
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: Do you just run games on an online client? Because
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: that doesn't really exist for key Forge, so.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I mean it does.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I run games on TCO all the time. Co Robbie,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know what you're talking about. Listen, you play
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: probably twenty games of key Forge Online this week, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I've only played probably, like I don't know, five games
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: have altered just because key Forge is a lot faster.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: You you cannot pull the wool over my eyes any longer
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: because now I am an official key Forge player. You
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: cannot queue up on TCO and just run games back
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: to back.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: I do I do that co, Robbie.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Depending on how its depending on the time of day.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah you can.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Sometimes there's nobody else on. But ninety percent of the
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: time I get on and I make a game, someone
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: joins within a few minutes.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: So what was that word you just used there?
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Minutes?
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Which word you minutes you make a game?
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you make a lot one my.
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: Point stance, it's like it's like Carabass, Like the Crucible
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: Online is like Carabast. It's not like Hearthstone or Snap
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: or something where you just click a button and it
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: matches you someone.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: And oh yeah, no it doesn't do that. No, you're
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: that that you are one hundred percent correct?
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: Then, yeah, well, these stats, viewing them from that lens
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: is whether it's Arena or play or whatever, is like
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: an online matchmaking data set.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, there's there's nothing like that, and keep.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: There's not that much ELO matchup specific I've played like
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: people that are like really low ELO or really high
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: ELO and then Arena they You're not necessarily matched up
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: with people that are in the same division as you.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: It maybe has a little bit of that matchmaking aspect,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: but very little in my.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Experience either way. Get back to the article, what do
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: you say everybody agrees? I say no, you say nay,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: We're gonna do it anyway. So most played faction was
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: just mere twenty point three least at Axiom eleven point four,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: each faction representing with the top six most played heroes
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: of the season going top to bottom Sigismarren wingspank Tasia
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: and Nara, Afanas and Senka, Kojo and Boda, Fenn and Crowbar,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Sierra and Oddball. Nice little spread there, uh. Two cards
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: from Trial by Frost have joined the ranks of the
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: most played cards in their faction, the Frozen Delivery, Common
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: and Haven Oh man, I hate this card, Sarngar, thank
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: you at Common have joined that little list. So kind
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: of cool there, Hawthor for Lyra Munadruid, teamwork training and
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: off you go. Are still tops for their perspective, clans,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: or affections. So I'm a numbers guy. I don't know
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: about you guys, Like I like looking at the numbers
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: and kind of being like, oh, okay, these are interesting,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: these are fun.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Numbers are good.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I do like looking at that. But something that caught
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: my eye in the soul little article. It's not a
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: very incredibly long article, but some things when I was
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: scrolling through and I'm kind of just perusing right introducing
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: the watch list, you guys ready for this one.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: Before I go to that, I thought that was interesting
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: how some of the most popular cards are all common.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, that would make the most sense, no, considering
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: it's a game where you have to have the most commons.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it pretty much has to be common.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: I think just because more people have commons.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I wonder if they didn't have the build restriction they did,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: if that would be the same. I don't know, because
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I suppose some of these cards like off you Go
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: might end up being rare, but because it's you know,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: kind of they've deemed it a staple, they put it
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: in common. That way it's able to go on more decks.
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: Well, you also got to think rares are harder to
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: obtain as well.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and with the building process, a lot of the
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: thinking part is like which fifteen rare slots do I
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: want to use? And pretty much everyone has agreed. These
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: six commons are staple commons, and they're good in all decks,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: across all factions, and there's no reason to not run them,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: and the rare does not have enough increased value. But
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: these are just strong cards. But there's more discrepancy between
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: the rares, and some rares are better than others in
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: certain decks, Like if you're running Tasia, you're gonna want
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: to run different rares than if you're running Wren. So
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: the commons just have.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Flexibility.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, flexibility is a good word.
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: I'm just wondering how they're getting their statistics.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: If they're doing it by the number of that card
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: being used or is it the number of decks that
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: have that card in it.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I think it's the number of because it says most played.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Most played. Actually I would say the most total, probably.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: From most common people will run three of.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then rares are like two and one, and
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: then you split it up to try to get the
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: fifteen spread.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: That is an interesting question.
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: I think based off of the last time they did this,
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: it is specifically like played.
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: Well, I don't know the deta can be skewed that way.
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: It's just out of curiosity mostly it could be.
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: I mean, the data exists for both whether the card
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: was played or just in the deck. But all of
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: these cards as well, if you have them in your deck,
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: you're absolutely playing them almost no matter what.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's true too. I mean you are
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: going through a good chunk of your deck before the
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: end of the game.
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: So well, and none of these cards are cards you
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: would want to mana like if the only time I'm
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: manna ing like any of these cards is if I
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: for some reason get two or three in.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: My opening hand, or I have like a handful of
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: uniques and rayers that are better. Yeah, Like, these are
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: the commons that you keep if you have commons.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know, it's being a liar. I don't know
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: if I'm keeping a Hawthor, but maybe i am.
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: They've been using hot Theor in every single bill I make.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: Yep, it's one of the best cards in Lyra.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it is. I'm not going to disagree
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: with you, but that's an interesting question. I think it
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: delves a little more thought. But let's talk about the
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: watch lists so we understand the impact that suspensions and
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: ratas have on players collection and competitive play. To minimize
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: unexpected surprises when you read our announcements, we're introducing the
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: watch list. We aim for transparency in all of our communications,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: so letting you know which cards and decks we're monitoring
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: feels like the right thing to do. The watch list
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: is a simple list of common, rare, and unique cards.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: While discussions around the watch list may reference certain heroes
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: or deck arc types, only those heroes' abilities who are
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: the center of concern will be included. Therefore, if a
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: deck arc type is under review, we'll focus on the
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: specific cards driving the arc type dominance and we'll add
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: them to the watch list if necessary. When a card
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: joins the watch list, it doesn't mean that it will
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: be suspended to receive an or rotum. It simply means
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: we're aware of performance in the current meta game and
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: are monitoring it to determine that it's causing any issues.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: I guess I'll finish out the watch list thing first
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: because I have some questions on this spot. Why would
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: a card join the watch list. A car will be
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: out of the watch list for several reasons. It undermines
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: the gameplay experience we want for our players. It is
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: crucial part of archtype that is too dominant competitive play.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: The card has too hot. I'm sorry, wuld you say?
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I was like, did you tack one of my favorite cards?
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Please don't. The card has a win rate too high
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: without an adequate counter in the current MENA game, it's
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: becoming it's become an auto including many decks, narrowing deck
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: building strategies. You can learn more. They have a little
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: thing about their philosophies which they went in with the
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: robin Hood type deal. Cards on the watch list are
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: closely monitored by our game design and play test team
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: will continue working on them until we decide to take
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: action or conclude that they aren't creating an issue our
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: play tests. Our play tests also consider upcoming sets to
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: ensure we are ahead of the curve. As a quick disclaim,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: a card we've previously discussed as not needing to be
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: on the watch list in one of our communications or amas,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: maybe added to the watch list if we find it's
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: has a greater impact on the meta than originally anticipated.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: The possible outcomes for cards on the watch list suspensions
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: while we work on the Arotum receiving an Irotom in
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: a future season patch, becoming removed from the watch list
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: without any changes. Note that we may reserve the right
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: to suspend a card and emergency patch if we believe
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: the situation calls for it. However, the watch list system
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: is designed to help us avoid this as much as possible,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: and this will only be used as a last resort.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Now do we have too many damn lists? That's my
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: next question? Do we need to be aware of the
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: what they're looking for?
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: So the watch list already exists even without them telling us,
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: though it's just becoming public now.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Ah how so?
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: So in general, just by experience, all different card games
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: all have a watch list. Imagine the gathering hats all
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: the time, especially when it came to like, for example,
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: Commander and so on. But now they're talking about adding
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: stuff to the watch list.
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: It makes you think.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: It makes me think that it's becoming a public list,
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: so people know what the company is looking at.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Is that a thing? Though?
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: It's great because now we get to know what they're
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: looking at, specifically that might get eratus in the future,
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: so we don't invest all in on uniques and then
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: lose all our money.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: Yep, what Dexter said, it's there really should be no
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: way to complain about this because it's just giving people
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: more information and more heads up, and it's kind of
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: a direct response to how people reacted when robin Hood
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: was eroted. And to Felix's point, whether they tell us
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: or not, there's always going to be like an a
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: turn internal watch list of like cards that the game
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: developers are like, ooh, this one's looking a little too
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: much that.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Exists before the set even comes out. Mm hmm.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: I can't disagree with you.
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: They already mentioned that before, Like for example, with Wauru,
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: they mentioned that they were afraid of what is going
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: to happen in a couple of sets ahead if I
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: remember way back when they eroded him, so that already
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: gave it an idea that it already existed, which makes sense, all.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Right, So here's my issue. We're it's becoming. It just
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: seems like there's a lot of lists right like we
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: have are like banned and restricted lists now too. I mean,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: and I agree, I'm not disagreeing with you at all, Felix,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: like the watch, I'd not always been a thing, right,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: and like if you're in the scene, you kind of
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: just knew, like, oh yeah, see that's my thing with
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: robin Hood. Like I don't know, maybe this is a
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: lot of people's first time into like a competitive card game,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: but at the same time like well, but at the
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: same time, it's like so for those of us who
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: have been around for a while, we're like, yeah, like
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I saw a mile away that something was gonna happen
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: to robin Hood and it was gonna be a huge
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: sway I know Z. And then we're talking like, oh,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: like they're just gonna do this little thing. It's like, no,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: they're gonna sway it big time, because whenever a card
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: becomes that disruptive and that meta changing and that game breaking,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: almost every time in card games, they completely swing it
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: the other direction and it's full and it's on purpose.
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So you're telling me you didn't go out and
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: spend eight hundred dollars on a robin Hood unique few
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: days before they announced the.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: No, I did not, because he even did. Well, I
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: don't understand that, because even Stevie Wonder saw that shit coming.
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so this list is for those people who did
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: things like that and then complained. Honestly, a lot of
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: this stuff, like especially if you're a casual player, doesn't
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: really matter for the most part, besides the fact that
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: some cards that you have in paper maybe changed when
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: you sit down to play, but either one one of
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: two things happens, you casually still play it the old
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: way and nobody cares, or someone tells you, hey, that
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: card's been changed, and then you play it the new way.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: It's not a huge deal.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: And then your days are ruined. Maybe yes, I mean,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but like, it just seems like there's
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of lists coming out, and it's like.
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: We have the band list, we have the suspension list,
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: we had the watch list. I'm not sure, but narrata
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: it can be considered a list, but they do exist.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: It just seems like there's a lot going on, and
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: it's like, uh.
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: You get players list in the future.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: I'm pokemon in other card games too, Oh.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: I'm sure. Yeah. I mean, every every competitive TCG will
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: eventually have a banned players list. I think that goes
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: on st Wars.
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: Star Wars just started working on theirs, so.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: There's also that, and if their alternating formats becomes a thing,
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: they could have a list too.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it just seems like there's a lot going on.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: And my fear whenever a card game becomes very list
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: heavy right where it's like oh this this, that, this, that,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: this that, and there becomes too much going on in
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: the background, it's not a good sign.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: It's nowhere near Digimon yet, So it's fine.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: I have no idea about Digimon. Is digitmon in a
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: bad stuff? But yeah, oh boy, you know you know
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: what I go in there.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: So part of this is people were complaining that Altered
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: has already changed too many cards too quickly, which.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Is fun and that's kind of how I feel. It
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: is like we've changed a lot and we're not even
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: out a year one.
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: Yet, which is funny because the other side is people
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: saying they didn't change enough fast enough. So there's like
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: a split here. But I compared a rock because people
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: were trying to tell me like, this doesn't happen in
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: tcg's very often, and I was like, I know you're wrong,
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: and I pulled up reference like Erata lists, Digimon's is
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: literally like the school bar is like a fifth of
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: the size that you see on this uh this article, right,
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: Yugos is actually pretty good, but I've heard it's not
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: the full one. And then just every every game has them,
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: and it maybe even would blow your mind to know
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: that Altered has way more than you even know about.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, I wouldn't, would I not really.
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: I think it's a problem with something like Digimo for example.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: It's a non rotating game, so that rad list is
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: going to stay big and it's just gonna get bigger.
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: But when you have games like for example, Pokemon that
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: have an actual rotating format and they're actually not currently
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: supporting the older formats, the eretum doesn't matter at that point.
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: It only matters to the specific standard format.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but you don't understand Felix. Other TCGs don't ever
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: do this, even though there's been TCGs that have erotted
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: a card before it even came out.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Well, I think we're saying it's like I think it's
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: it's I don't think they're saying it doesn't happen, but
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: I can I can they Okay, well, not you specifically,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: but people like I feel like this is a lot
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: very quickly. Yeah, and that's just a feel, you know.
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: I think the fact that the Liz exists now is
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: good because if it becomes a norm now later during
• 24:20
  Speaker 8: during the lifespan of the game, everybody knows that it
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: exists and we have the app, but it also.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Can be used. I feel like them like, oh, like
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: here's what we're watching out for. Players can just be like, oh,
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: don't use that card so much because they're gonna ride
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: it and we want to stick around. Which I don't know.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's a good or a bad thing. I'm not that.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: I'm not one hundred percent sure.
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: I think it's more of a good thing than a
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: bad thing because it lets a meta shifts in so
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: many ways. Right now we're seeing, for example, well it's
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: getting ahead. I think the way for the later for
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: the art to go back to circle back to this
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: because the wash list is at.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: The bottom, all right, so should we go through the
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: updates on the current suspension list? Uh? Yeah, I was
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: like not everybody at once.
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, listen, I gave you guys the heads up that
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: I'm going to try not to talk as much because
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: my mouth really hurts.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, are you getting a lot
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: of complaints? Like cool talks too much, Like I've never
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: heard that I have.
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: I have a very fun issue with chronic canker sores,
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: and my mouth is all fucked up right now, so.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: That sounds like fun.
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: You just need dexter to take my position.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Let's go dex star everything, red Shirt and I jump
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: on that landmine.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: What do I need to do?
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, we're doomed. We're doomed.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: I wasn't paying.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Podcasting in the john.
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: He was playing Keyborg.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Oh jeez, all right. The following changes are effective starting
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: March twenty first, twenty twenty five on board game arena
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: and in store and competitive play. The website will be
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: updated to reflect these changes shortly. Players may still use
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: pre orta versions of the card, providing they discloded any
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: changes to their opponent and allow them to access the
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: relevant information by scanning the card. Ozma has been erotted
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: originally played from anywhere. If you control three or more
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: other characters, you draw a card and has been erotted too.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: If you control three or more other characters, resupply. Okay,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: this is the common version. I should I should probably
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: reference that.
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the rare's the exact same. It just has the
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: stat bump.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah too, where's the stat bump?
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: More water?
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So this one seemed kind of weird on the
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: outside for me, and I was like, I could see
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: how it's maybe still good because it's really easy and
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: it doesn't say non token characters, so it also counts tokens.
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: So why I asked Blue Infamous Artis Player if it's
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: still a good card and ortis to him and he said, yeah,
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: like the common is absolutely still a run, especially Customertist
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: doesn't really have resupply options, and it's just yeah, it's
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: it's still a good card.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this is still very good. Resupply does
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: seem kind of weird in Ortist, just because it doesn't
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: have anything else there and it seems like out of
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: place thematically. But I think it's a pretty solid erata
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: like strength wise, and I think pretty much all order
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: sex will run it. But it is definitely weaker than
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: the old version. I think they could have made it
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: a little bit weaker, but this is fine in my opinion.
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: I think it opens a couple of things, so before
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: you be able to draw a card, you get a
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: double use of something. Now it's a resupply, which means
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: once you play her, you're opponent guests to see what
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: you resupply, so it can get sabotage, so you lose
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: it completely. At the same time, it's an extra card
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: you're gonna have at dusk, so you're gonna have to
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: discard extra cards. But it does open an avenue that
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: if you run rorety random cards and supportabilities, it does
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: give you those supportabilities too.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: Yep, all right.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: So in our last season patch, we suspended Ozma because
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: it provided easy access to card advantage and order strategies
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: a lot on the creation of a very low curve
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: decks with significant trade offs. It's manocost of two being
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: able to draw card twice was simply too powerful. Uh.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: When working on Osma Rodom, we aim to maintain its
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: core identity of providing card advantage while adjusting its power
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: level with minimal changes. For OSMA, that meant keeping the
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: ordest identity of requiring three or more characters. We aim
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: to limit changes to just one aspect of the card,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: whether it's manocost stats or effect. By replacing draw card
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: with resupply, we maintain access to card advantage, but at
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: a significantly reduced power level. Resupply also requires player to
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: be more strategic in managing the reserve to avoid discarding
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: excess cards at night. Bam, all right, the bastion back again.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: I see, just can't get rid of this Haven bastion,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: can we? So the old version was the landmark resupply
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: your characters have when played Was that played from me?
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: I can't see this.
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: The characters have when played from reserve a.
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: Gain a boost.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't see it on my screen. I have
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: two new monitors, which are awesome. I'm still getting used
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: to the resolution to resupply. The next character you play
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: from reserve us turn gains one boost. So Haven was
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: one of the most powerful rares and beyond it, I
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: feel bad for Axiom, like they didn't have shit. Never mind,
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: it was one of the most powerful rare cards would
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: beyond the gate. It provided both early game advantage of
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: resupply and exponential late game power with when combined with
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: characters that are cheap form of the reserve. While we
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: like Hayman as a build around card, we didn't like
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: how forced players playing against it to discard it with
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: removal to stand a chance. We believe that the updated
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: version of Haven will still be a strong tool for
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Axiom reserve strategies in early to mid game, but its
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: late game impact will be much less overwhelming with the
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: introduction of more reserve interaction via card exhaust, exhaustion and
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: trial by Frost. We think they are now a variety
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: of answers to manage these kinds of strategies, and they
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: show now they should now find a healthy place in
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: the metagame. I feel bad for Axiom because like they
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: didn't really have much going for them but the Haven, yep,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: and then they are rotted the Haven.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: I think the Haven's still good and it's playable in
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: most trades. I think it fits in some subash decks
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: as well, but it's definitely weaker than it was before.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: I think they should have made it a little bit
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: stronger than this. This seems a little bit underwhelming. Like
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: it still works, it's going to give you the resupply
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: and then you you'll get a few boosts from it,
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: but it's very on curve now, which is I guess good,
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: but it makes it hard for trace to work still.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: All right, more cards.
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: That's all you guys are gonna say about the Haven.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: That's curious.
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: It's one of the best permanence in the game.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: Still, I think it is still good, but it's now
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: like so it's not crazy anymore. For sure. This is
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: the card pool that Axiom has. I still don't know
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: if it's gonna be great.
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: I've already lost to it.
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: I'll just tell you that.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: Do you think it's this net, This new Haven Axiom
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: bastion is better than the rare Bravos bastion.
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: Uh?
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: Yes, because of.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to tap it. You only get one
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: per day.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: Unless next set they get untapping capabilities. Could be cool.
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: It exists for reserve already some was looking it was
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: possible for permanence.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: But I don't think there's any permanent.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: So the reason that this is still so strong is
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: just because of the cost, and then the fact that
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: it has resupply from anywhere, and that Axiom has so
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: much interaction with that from anywhere symbol in general, there's
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: a huge chunk of cards that interact with it, and
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: if you think about it, it's basically a tasia ability
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: on a stick. But then add resupply and also add
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: that it's a.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Permanent it does have to come from reserve when you
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: play it. So in that way, it's weaker than Keelon's cylinder.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: I mean technically in just that regard.
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: But I have already played against a trace with it,
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: and they did just fine using it, and the game
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: was not super close. I think they won by like
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: two or three advances.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Well, what were you playing, Muna?
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: I was playing an actual meta Muna.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, is this a meta Muna beld
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: or is this Cole Robbie's group Hogmona build.
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: I think it's still better than Kellen cylinder, but that's
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: that's just me.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, I do think it is better than Keylan cylinder
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: for sure, and it is still a good permanent but
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: it is now no longer game breaking, yep, and it is.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: It's good. I'll give it that.
• 34:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: The thing with Axiom, and the thing with Aratus in general,
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: is hyper competitive. People don't want to most often spend
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: the time toiling and figuring out a new build. They'll
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: just hop onto the next proven thing so they can
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: continue to win. And I think that is exactly what
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: we have seen with Waru and then traced with this.
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: I think we'll see some trats come back, but I
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: still hold that Axiom can be very good. It just
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: takes a lot more work in thought, so most people
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: don't spend the time on it.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Hmm, this is true. Oh it's hard to build. People
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: don't want to build it.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: If it's not hard to build, if it can't be consistent,
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: people don't want to play it. It's a consistency thing.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: But let's move to Foundry Armorer, all Bravos Unique, Jellyfish
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: all uniques. Yeah, and Garrick this is done so weird.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: I want to know. Well, maybe it's different in French
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: because it's jelly Okay, so it's Foundry Armorer Comma all
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Bravos Uniques, Comma Jellyfish all uniques, and GARRICKT Commas. Never mind,
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: GARRICKT is reserved dualist. Just looks funny when I look
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: at it, because it should be like, this should be
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: a thing, but it's not. Go look at the article
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: and see if your grammar nerd comes out in you minded.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: We've found the errata for most of the unique cards
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: currently suspended, Foundry Armor and GARRICKT Revered Dualists. Moonlight Jellyfish
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: is still being worked on. We are now early testing
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: the errata to ensure the integration into upcoming sets and
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: their proper deployment on our digital platform. Foundry Armor all
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Bravas uniques, Moonlight, Jellyfish all uniques both factions, and Garrick
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Revere Dualist all uniques both factions are still suspended. These
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: are all cards that, like, are not boosted, but triggered
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: in themselves, right.
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: If I remember, Yeah, these ones were ones that had
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: potential for loops like infinite or infinite loops.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, alright, sorry, Felix, you still have to wait longer.
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I can't wait to play three Garricks. I'm still waiting.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: All right. Let's go through the watch list, and I
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: already see a card that pisses me off. I'm already angry.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna flip my desk. I don't know if it
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: can be flipped with the way it's set up, but
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: I might flip it. First card up, Small Stop Giant Leap.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: This is Cole Robbie's doing, and I will never forgive
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: him ever. Small Step Giant Leap is a powerful card
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: in the metagame, warping a lot of Yizmir decks around
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: the ability to close out the game in a trivial manner.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: On the last day. It's an iconic card and ability,
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: but it is frustrating to play against due to the
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: lack of interaction. Furthermore, small Step proves to be very
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: prominent and on fun in our two v two game mode.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: We also believe that small Step plays a key part
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: in a funest current performance. Combined with the non interactive
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: gameplay experience it can create, We've decided to add the
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: card to the watch list.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: This is bullshit, I'm what part do you think is bullshit?
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Shut your dirty mouth, dexter.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: What part of it do you think is bullshit?
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: The fact that I want to play it, so.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: I agree that it should not be all versions. I
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: think the common Small Step Giant Leap is bad for
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: the game right now, and he's too good for specifically
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: a Fawness. I think the rare is not run in
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: really any a Fawna's decks, and it is not a
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: problem in Lyra, but the Common is a problem. I
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: would think that the Common should be watched and erouded
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: in some way, but the Rare should. The Rare should stay.
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: You know what.
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: I need you guys to hunker down and actually start
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: playing some altered In the next couple of weeks and
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: then you'll.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: Do you think Finn is abusing giantly Bro.
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: The use of small Step in Lyra has increased a
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: lot over the last two weeks.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: I can't say that he's wrong, so and then, and
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: the reason I can't say he's wrong is because I've
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: I might have added it to my fin I might
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: have added to my friend.
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so Fenn.
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: What's interesting about the Lyra decks that use it is
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: the U usually.
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: Don't run three. No, I'll usually run like one or two.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, or yeah, I run one. But that's neither here
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: nor there.
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: The issue with small Step and altered is it doesn't
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: really fit in the type of gameplay because there's, like
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: it says, there's zero counterplay.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: There's nothing you can do.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: Unless you double issak or what's it called celebration.
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: Or celebration day, Yes, which doesn't really work. But it's
• 39:35
  Speaker 6: not like magic or something where you could counterspell or.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: You could have a follow up.
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: I had the most amazing idea for small Step Giant Leap.
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: Are you ready for this? Sure ahead, So leave it
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: as is.
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: But change it to where it can only win the
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: game after all stats have been compared. Because I think,
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: I think.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: Makes it not useful anymore.
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: Oh so you just want a free win for no reason?
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes I do.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: That's the point of the car.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: I dealt with this bullshit for like a year, I want.
• 40:19
  Speaker 6: It was only like three months, Wookie, Well what I
• 40:22
  Speaker 6: got right of robin Hood too, So now small step
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: can go.
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: It's had much longer I want.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: I want my free wins, free wins and a faction
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: I enjoy playing.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: Well, you better start playing then.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: Ah, this hurts my heart, but I understood. It's one
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: of those things where I understand it. Fine. The next
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: card I feel again feel a little targeted by I'm
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: not gonna lie tot it, Buddy, Helping Hand, he is
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: a mere watch list or it's the rare. He is
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: mere rare. Helping Hand is a very powerful spell and
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: a fatto stacks the cost of one manna. It gives
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: players and after you to boost on a character and
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: the ability to remove fleeting. While it proves powerful with
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: seasoned characters, as observed in Bravos Decks, Helping Hands also
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: synergizes with Khadigurion Mage Dancer in Yazmir Decks Drawing cards
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: with its rare variant and offering even more card advantage
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: with its unique variant. I don't have a unique variant,
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: shocker right now. The card also allows a fondness players
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: to continually replay powerful uniques over multiple turns. This is
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: further enhanced by the ability to return a spell from
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: your reserve to your hand that is present on a
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: variety of yazmirniques. This ability allows a player to loop
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: helping hands and the unique, creating a gameplay pattern that
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: can be frustrating and hard to interact with.
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, this card is just too good, and if you
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: want to blame anyone for this one, you blame the
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: people that purposely found ways to make it so that
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: they can load twenty five cards in their reserve and
• 42:10
  Speaker 6: just keep playing through them using things like this, so
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: you can blame them.
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: Twenty five cards in reserve?
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: How is that not quite twenty five? He's being a
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: little dramatic there.
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: I wish I was.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: Unless unless you've seen it, then.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: I have seen. I have seen.
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: I've seen five before. Twenty five is stretching it.
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: Oh, I wonder if I could find it.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: There must have better uniques than me, That's what I
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: can say about you.
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: Yep, it was a newer archetype that popped up in
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: the last month, and the reserve would literally go off
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: the screen and the players playing it could almost not
• 42:53
  Speaker 6: even click to find what card they needed. But they
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: just needed to find the right ones to cycle through.
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: I think a rac found a way to do it
• 43:03
  Speaker 6: as well.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: You get that much card draw.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: There's ways I've never seen twenty five. I've been up
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: to seven.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: All of their uniques have like after you play a
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: card resupply or something like that.
• 43:21
  Speaker 6: Well, there's things like that, and then there's when you
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: play a spell resupply. You gotta think there's a lot
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: of discount. Yeah. So if I can find a picture
• 43:36
  Speaker 6: of one of the ones where I can find one
• 43:38
  Speaker 6: of the decks and find the player, I will send
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: you a picture.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: That's cool, all right? More is Mere Hate actually almost
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: all the cards on the watchlister? He is Mair Actually
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: all the cards on the watchlister?
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: Yes, not all of them. Which one isn't the Bobby Yaga.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: Out of faction? Yeah? Okay, scroll down, got it all right?
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: Attorney Also yeah, ironically, isn't Derek's originally ISMIR and Attorneys
• 44:11
  Speaker 5: and auto faction.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: And it is out of faction into y Ismir. Yep,
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: they are now realizing that Ortis and Yusmir are overpowered.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: Can't I have anything nice? I guess the answer is no.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: But kidd kid geararn kid geiron Maje Dancer, especially in
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: its rare form, is a versatile offering stats, card advantage
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: and priority passing at low costs. Combined with the funess
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: and helping hands, even in its common version, can repeatedly
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: output huge amounts of stats at low mana cost. This
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: is true.
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: It's a good card helping hand in category and mage
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: Dancer definitely make a faunessing and get way too much debts.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: I feel them feel like you can get rid of
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: one of the well.
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: Let's probably helping him.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, it's going to end up
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: getting rid of the really.
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: Cheap a lot of a lot of cards, and is
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: the return cards from reserve to the hand and uniques
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: come by with helping him is pretty absurd.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: Don't say that they listen.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: Honestly, I think I'm kind of surprised that they didn't
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: put off you go on this watch list too, Dexter.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: Don't give them any more ideas. What are you doing?
• 45:32
  Speaker 6: I think because Off You Go is basically a card
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: that without some of these other interactions you can really
• 45:40
  Speaker 6: only use once effectively, kind of like Beauty Sleep.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: But not in r because you can get if.
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: They have flamel and all the uniques that return ship.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: That's exactly what I just said, though oh okay, I
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: must have missed that, because.
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: On paper it's weighted to only be really played effectively
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: on the front end. So it's all these other interactions
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: of picking up spells, drawing cards, things like that that
• 46:14
  Speaker 6: make it easier to play.
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: I think that's when I want to sealed one time
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: playing Ismir and Lyayra because I can use the Oro
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: boos incaster with the helping hand. It was the exact
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: same loop, yep.
• 46:28
  Speaker 6: Because if you think about it, the mage dancer Rare
• 46:32
  Speaker 6: also draws you a card. Yes, and if you're keeping
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: out characters longer boosting them up from playing the spell
• 46:42
  Speaker 6: things like the drawing cards returning cards, it's a lot
• 46:49
  Speaker 6: easier to not have to pay the four on the
• 46:53
  Speaker 6: back end for Off you Go, when on paper.
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: It should be like Beauty Sleep.
• 46:59
  Speaker 6: Where you really you only play it from hand and
• 47:01
  Speaker 6: then get rid of it.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, my Nightmare ends After this, Bobby Yatta
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: Ortists out of faction and Orders Attorney rare. Despite Osma's suspension,
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: Siga smart decks are still able to play a very
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: low curve thanks to powerful draw engines such as Bobby
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Yaga and Orders Attorney. While these cards are less powerful
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: than Ozma was, they still display high wind rates and
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: are included in almost all ordered artist decks, narrowing down
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: deck building strategies. Yes, I mean that I can't disagree
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: with I actually can't disagree with any of these. It
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: just hurts my feelings a little bit.
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: I talk to them more about but Yaga than Order's Attorney, ironically,
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: I mean Orders.
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: I don't think Orders Attorney is that good.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: It's been there since. I mean it's been a staple
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: since the beginning. Maybe not the rare version, the rare version.
• 48:08
  Speaker 6: I think these two, honestly, I could see not getting
• 48:13
  Speaker 6: a change, because that's another point of the watch list
• 48:15
  Speaker 6: that they call out, is it could mean nothing.
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: Mm hmm. While yeah, I don't know. I think.
• 48:27
  Speaker 6: If you're not able to pick up Baba Yaga a ton,
• 48:32
  Speaker 6: I think she's a fine card on paper. And then
• 48:37
  Speaker 6: Ortist Attorney, I think for the most part is fine.
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: I don't think it's too strong.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: I just get a little upset. It's just like I
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: keep reading and it's like fun, you like fun, have
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: none of it. We're suspending them all. But I have
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: to calm down. I'll sit back down.
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: I think this is great.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: Eight I'll sit back down on myself anymore. Or you're
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: not playing mr either, actually playing? Are you playing Moon
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: and Out as? Yes, you've joined the dark side of
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: No Fun? Huh?
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: That was that no Fun?
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I've never played. I've never played.
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: It's the humble faction for the humble man.
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: That is true.
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: Oh man, it's less Yeah, yeah, that's the thing. I mean,
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: I still play fun, So that's the thing. So I
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: got hit kind of twice. At least I feel I
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: feel hit kind of twice.
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: How did you get hit twice?
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: Because of the ones on the Small Step? Yeah, it's
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: the Small Step hits. My HiT's my Lyra deck and
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: then an E. They're like, hey, did you like did
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: you like? Did you have fun? Over in R We're
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: getting rid of all of it, Like I really that's
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: how I feel right now. They're like, oh God, did
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: you buy a whole bunch of yusmeer stuff. Oh oh yeah,
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: we're getting rid of all of it now. I don't
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: regret my purchase because like I didn't go buy any
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: like crazy uniques or anything, you know. But it's one
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: of those things where it's like, man, just built this deck,
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: son of a bit.
• 50:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a good thing that they're not getting rid
• 50:29
  Speaker 6: of anything.
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: He just still play with him for a while.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: This is just a watch list, just to watch.
• 50:38
  Speaker 6: I think Maje Dancer just removed the draw card from
• 50:42
  Speaker 6: a rare helping hand.
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: Maybe bump up the.
• 50:45
  Speaker 6: Cost or just remove the fact that it removes what's.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: What's what's even crazier, it's like I haven't even received
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: these in the mail yet, that's what's not about. I
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: was like, yeah, I really like this, I'm gonna buy it,
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: And so I bought it, you know, and again like
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: literally like the bulk of a majority of altered decks,
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: they're not I think it was like fifty seven sixty bucks,
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: we'll call it. So it wasn't like, oh my god,
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: my day, my life is ruined. But it was kind
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: of like, man, I just bought. I just bought all
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: these and they haven't even something to my house yet,
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: and they're looking at just ruining my life, Like, what
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: the hell?
• 51:28
  Speaker 6: At least you didn't buy three key Forge decks that
• 51:31
  Speaker 6: are all shit.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: I dude, you're I can't even explain you, Like that's
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: just bananas to me.
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: That does not make sense.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: And you even bought the good set and it's you
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: want to know, it's funny. I bought one key Forge
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: deck this week, right to play in my local sealed.
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: Let me go find it. You want to know what
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: it's It's up higher? Oh god, ninety two?
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: Nice. I was just good.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: It doesn't think I'll shore. I'll share it with you afterwards,
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: but it's just And then I'm like, how does coal?
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: How does cold and sixties every time?
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: And not only that, like he doesn't even get like
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: the fun houses. He got all the trash houses and
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: three decks. It made no sense to me.
• 52:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's just my life. The uniques on the watch list, though,
• 52:33
  Speaker 6: are all the ones that you would.
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: Think uniques with repeated abilities. Some uniques have abilities that
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: are very easily to repeatably trigger. This isn't always an issue,
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: but some can lead to unhealthy gameplay matters. The ones
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: we've identified token producing uniques with and again it's just
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: it's the same thing. They're just easily repeatable multi anchoring
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: and resupply loop. These uniques combined with cheap cars to
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: create insurmountable amount of statistics cards played or card advantage.
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: This isn't fun to play against, and therefore these cards
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: are added to the watch list.
• 53:11
  Speaker 6: I think anchoring is definitely hitting astray here.
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: I don't think it's anywhere.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: Near Nope, Nope, Your little Moona boys are getting hit too.
• 53:23
  Speaker 6: I mean I won't because I don't have uniques that
• 53:27
  Speaker 6: are this good. So it's it's they're a lot more
• 53:33
  Speaker 6: rare and it's very uh infrequent that you see them
• 53:41
  Speaker 6: be like out of control, whereas token uniques and resupplying
• 53:49
  Speaker 6: loop uniques can be insane and you're way more likely
• 53:53
  Speaker 6: to come up against, especially token producing. But the people
• 54:00
  Speaker 6: that want to play the other side of the coin
• 54:03
  Speaker 6: complain about the anchor on the other side.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: So let this be a lesson to all of you.
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: If you don't want cards you like to be added
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: to a watch list or band or something silly happen
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: to him. Just start with the shittiest faction and eventually
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: he'll work your way up.
• 54:23
  Speaker 5: You don't play them.
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: I exactly don't play and play the other factions where
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: you don't need to, you know, to.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: Be fair, Yeah, to be fair. I I haven't really
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: gotten hit too hard in the Lyra yet, just just
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: the one thus far.
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: So you know, I got massacred with waru.
• 54:45
  Speaker 7: Uh that massacre murdered here.
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: That's what we call karma. Karma. I weird how you
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: misspoke that it's called karma. But that's really going to do.
• 55:03
  Speaker 5: I'm surprised helping hand never have fleeting to meet that car.
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: Screams itself, should have fleeting. Yeah, and costs more than one,
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: which one ridiculous helping hands Helping hands. But isn't that
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: like Zmeir's jam, like cheap spells that do a thing?
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: What a cheap spell that gives a boost, removes fleeting
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: and you get the fawnest trigger off of it, and
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: it costs one seems a little bit ridiculous.
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: Why because if you compare it to us, no no.
• 55:37
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, no stirefaction, I know why it does
• 55:40
  Speaker 6: give a boost.
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know why. I just don't, you know.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: I like my cards to be meaty and do lots
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: of things and stuff. That's just me, Like, you don't
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: have to agree with me. I'm just a dude who
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: sits here and likes to play casually but build the
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: overpowered stuff. So that's all me. All right, let's go
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: Cole fails again? What'd you fail on?
• 56:12
  Speaker 6: I keep saying I'm gonna do like an intro lare
• 56:16
  Speaker 6: tid bit so oh but what I what I want
• 56:19
  Speaker 6: to do is I want to read it and I
• 56:21
  Speaker 6: want to summarize it, so we're not just reading a
• 56:23
  Speaker 6: big blong thing and I still haven't done it. I'm
• 56:27
  Speaker 6: blaming it on me not feeling amazing this week.
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: Perfectly, Okay.
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: I put in an aloe for you to read.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: And I have had a bank audit all week, so
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: that's a fun thing to do. Yeah, that's where the
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: bank comes in because technically, because audit. Okay, So because
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: technically I am a financial institution, even though I'm not really,
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: I'm technically considered a financial institution. So I have to
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: go through these audits and it's a nice, big long
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: one and it's taken all week and I'm tired. But
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: let's talk about ali Vera. First off, it says, moisturize
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: every day. Moisturizing every day is a spent is essential
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: you In Spike, I tap into the bits of manna
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: he gathered along the way. Yeah, I know, buddy. Scanning
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: the surrounding areas, I spy a place where the terrain
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: might be a good fit. It's a little basin nested
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: in between large rocks and well placed to shelter us
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: from the wind. Then I imagine a natural pool surrounded
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: by a little waterfalls, with sulfur tinged water and nice temperature,
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: not too hot, not too cold. Drawing on the manna,
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: I materialize my illusion superimposed into the world with help
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: from the ski in the skiin I embedded it with
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: I beted it within reality so the Owensen will stick
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: around long enough for us to enjoy it. I let
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: out a long breath. Spike is already rushing to the
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: hot springs, being careful to avoid the snowbanks. He dives
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: in and does a cannonball before coming back to the
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: surface to splash around. I feel him tugging on our bond,
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: on my alteration's power. Such a kid. Of course, there's
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: still something missing here. I call little Vera from my
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: mind and the graceful plant appears not far from the pond.
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: Delighted to see her playmate again, she sinks her long,
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: slender legs into the steaming water, and Spike motions again
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: and again for her to join him. I watched him
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: play in the water like children while f fox settles
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: in around us as warm as cold temperatures collide. I
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: keep watching on the surroundings. The rocky terrain might be
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: harboring any number of unexpected dangers. Suddenly I notice Spike
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: has come up to me, pouting. He then implores me
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: with his eyes, Oh really, it's that important. He nods vigorously,
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: and I eventually give into his whims. Two ice teas
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: for two rascals. Our June is the narrator there.
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: Interesting to me that Spike would be swimming to cactus.
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: Cactuses don't need water, right, the whole point.
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: They need water, but they're just incredibly water efficient.
• 59:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Mike doesn't have to take in the water.
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: He might just like the heat too. He's a cactus
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: in a cold area. Yeah, don't you think he'd be like,
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: oh the heat? I like heat? Sure, right, That's how
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: I got it.
• 59:49
  Speaker 6: That is one of my favorite cards based on the art.
• 59:55
  Speaker 6: It is actually a pretty meta relevant card as well.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 6: If you've never seen the Alvera art, it's basically what
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 6: was described cute little ali Vera plant sitting on a
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 6: rock formation, sipping a nice tea, just chillaxing.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: The unique art is super pretty.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I've ever seen an unique.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: Aloes suck.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they'll lose the anchoring ability.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 4: Does my unique?
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 6: Uh?
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 4: Let me look at mine.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say I do not know. To be honest
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: with you.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: Here, I'm gonna look through and see if I can
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: find any good alos.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 6: Did you guys notice when I posted all my uniques
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 6: to see about trading, I did not post any of
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 6: my mona ones. Yeah, I think I actually traded away
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 6: my aloe.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 4: Did I give it to you, Felix? You did not.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 6: I don't know what I did with it, but that
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 6: means it wasn't very good.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: Oh man, that's rough. But we go into our Patreon
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: questions today. If you were a card, what would your
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: ability be? Anybody want to already? What's your card? Garret?
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 5: Okay, he loses fleeting, he can never gain fleeting.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 7: He just gets boosts.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 6: Keeping the same ability not changing anything.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 5: No, I just eat a zero statistic so I can
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 5: trigger everything.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: Dexter, what's your card?
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: I have no idea, I have no idea what ability
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: I would even want? What can I be a spell
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: to like kill the opponent's cards?
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 7: Kill opponent's cards?
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: Why do you want?
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you murder them, remove them from the game, forever,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: herds them.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 5: You're gonna create a new pile on the on the
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 5: playing board the deceased pile.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: Discarding is not good enough. It must be removed from
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: the game entirely for.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: The rest of the game.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 6: HM Dexter is to Texas, he's just spreadit literally a glock.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: Like like my My card type would also be it
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: would be a new card type. Mine straight up would
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: be a counter spell and I don't even I don't
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: even know like how that would be played. It would
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: have to create a new card type.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 7: Probably be an orders card.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: That just says stop doing whatever your opponent's last thing was.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: Or it could just be a straight up counter spell.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: Tap two man, I just no counter your opponent's last spell.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: Send it send it to, uh, send it to. I
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: think maybe just flat out getting rid of it might
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: be too much, So maybe like send it to reserve.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: That way it's playable. I mean, if it were me,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: it would be just yep, goes straight to the discard pile.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: I have a good day.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I spell so it doesn't hit characters.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: Well okay, you know counter your opponent's last character or spell.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 7: Then it doesn't hit permanence.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: We could add that in there. We can add that
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: in it.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 6: So I had an idea earlier, and I think it
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 6: would actually fit into.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 4: How Altered is played.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 6: A two cost permanent that just eats a spell, so to.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: Not Cole Robbie Cole Robbies would be like a one
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: cost one one one that gives one boost to everything
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: on the board. Card.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is this is not my card.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 6: This is just my idea for a version of a
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 6: version of counter spell in Altered. But basically, if you
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 6: put it out, it's two manna. If someone casts a
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 6: spell and you want to counter it, you tap it
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 6: and then it blocks the spell and goes to discard.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: See I imagine a col Robbie spell being something like
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: a one cost one one one. Yeah, every all all
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: characters would play gain one boost. Each opponent draws one
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: card if you have one or more opponents draw card.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: This turn, you get to create a five five five
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: anchor dragon. Yeah, something like that.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 6: So I technically already exist on a card, but I
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 6: don't know where I have it. Citrus Frog made it well.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 6: I also recently made I think I actually made a
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 6: card of myself too, as a meme, but I don't
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 6: have it in my downloads anymore. I don't think if
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 6: I find it again, i'll post it in the discord.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 6: But I made a card that I would like to
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 6: see in Muna, and I feel like this actually is.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: Fitting for me. So it's it's the bean stock. So
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 4: when I would get one boost, I gain.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 6: Two instead, and then from anywhere it gains anchored.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, I was gonna say, I don't know if that
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: might be a touch broken. I'm not sure.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems pretty good. Throw some chirn and nurtures
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: and sews. It's lots of boosts.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: It's deitly a tag card, and it's anchored.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 6: I made it strong on purpose, but I think honestly
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 6: it being in Muna makes it not too strong.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 4: The common does not gain anchored at all.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, just the rare does. I was like, man, so
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: I have to deal with this card for you ever,
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: like it just never goes away.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 4: No, because there's no helping hand in Muna.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: Got some of those last little digs.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: What if you have two spindles on the board and
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 3: you have a whole bunch of resupply stuff and you
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: keep using discard triggers to re anchor it, then it's
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: worth it.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: We deserve it too, alrighty, all right, Cole, tell us
• 1:06:57

  Speaker 4: No, I haven't heard any.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're what two months out? I feel like

• 1:08:55
  Speaker 4: June sixth is when the set release is.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: June's Wow, that's further out than I had planned. Happy
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: the end of May.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 6: We have some spoilers, but they're the like very very
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 6: tiny kidbits and whatnot. I don't think we will be
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 6: in full spoiler season until maybe middle of April.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if that's that would be right? Ifif? Yeah, Man,
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: that seems really far out. I guess it's not. Because
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: it was the end of January February March April. I
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: kind of thought it would be the end of May
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: it would be coming out.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, technically if you go off of pre releases, it
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 6: will be out end of May, but official releases the sixth.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: So make sure you do all that for us. We
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: greatly do appreciate it. Leave your comments so Cole Robbie
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: can answer them over on our YouTube page, because I
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: forget that we have one most of the time. Does
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: it show up as as the channel or does it
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: show up as you when you answer?
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 6: Well, before you made me a manager, I had to
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 6: go sort and look through and see if there were comments.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 6: But now I'm a manager, so it comes from the channel.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 6: But nice, it's always it's always me.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: Nice, it is always him. I pop in there me
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: now and again. But I always forget that there's a
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: YouTube channel that I don't want to say exists. But
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: we upload there too, because we really don't do a
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: ton on the YouTube yet. We don't do a cool
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: like video or anything. Maybe one day, maybe one day
• 1:10:42
