• 3:26
  Speaker 1: They probably did. Yes, Actually they probably died.

  Speaker 4: Two thousand and two thousand and six?
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah, he was dead well before you were born.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I think he did. I was in middle school and
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: he died. But we got talked about the time when
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I went to college two thousand and six.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: By that time, yeah, step I went to university.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I was a sophomore in college in two thousand and six. Yeah,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: that's how old I am. Oh, I'm gonna go get
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: my walker. Hold on, guys. But anyways, we've got lots
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: to go over all turn his moving into twenty twenty six.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: New partners, new tournaments, new prizes, new sets, new everything.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah except for us, except for us, same old, same old,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: sim shit podcasts that you guys keep coming back to.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: We're not sure why.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, we're very different than we were at the
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: beginning of last year.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: True, how so.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: We used to have a lot of other people.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: This is true. There has been a lot of shaping
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: that has happened in the past year. Yeah, what was
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: funny is Z was actually in my neck of the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: woods and didn't even yeah meet up with z. I
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: didn't meet up with z oh and didn't he.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: In Sydney meet up, met up with z in play
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: and playm.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Didn't contact me? Fuckers. I work a lot. That's probably
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: why it against you now. I don't think he has
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: of a debt against me. It just I work a lot,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: So I don't think Dan actually contact to me. And
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: you know, since since he doesn't play key Forge or
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Altered anymore, like there's you know, why why would he
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: We don't play anything together. I don't think he knows
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: that I played.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Are they what are they even doing with their lives now?
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Like a lot of board games, working a normal job
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: and like a lot more on the couch.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: A lot of board games. But we got the twenty
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: twenty six. Well, what do you want to go through? First? Right?
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Do you want to go through the twenty twenty six
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: like competitive circuit? First, there, mister, mister cole.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: So I laid out some bullet points for you to
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: perfectly take you through what we're going to touch. One
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: first bullet point is the roadmap for next set. If
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: you did not see this announced, it was on the ninth,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: so two days ago. So retail should start receiving their
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: orders of Seeds of Unity around February ninth, and then
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: backers will start receiving them on February sixteenth, and they're
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: considering the official release date February thirteenth. So another key
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: thing to know since a lot of us, especially in
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: the United States, now mainly just play online. It will
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: be available on BGA starting February thirteenth, So okay, And
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: if there's no qualms or questions about that, I'll just
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: lay out the next important dates and then we'll dive
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: into the competitive circuit because there's a lot of exciting
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: stuff in there.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Let's dive into the competitive circuit. I'm interested.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Sounds good, Yeah, to give you some key dates real quick.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: January thirty first to February first will be the winter
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: season finals. We'll get a little more into that when
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: we dive into the details. On Sunday, February eighth, there
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: will be a Seeds of Unity demo deck tournament, and
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: the end of season four will be February twelfth. So
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: if you are wanting to get any of those organized
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: play rewards, that will be your last day to do it.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead, that's for what.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: That's where sky sky season, sky Sky season.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Let's say we're still in sky Sky season, right.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I So that'll end. That'll that'll end on the twelfth.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: And the competitive circuit, there's a lot to go over.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of ins and out. I'm sure multiple
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: people have made in depth videos about it. So I'll
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: just kind of say what's interesting to me and what
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I know information about, and then if you guys, or
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: anyone in the live audience has questions or things like that,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: we will go through that. Okay, So there. The new
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: thing is is there will be qualification phases. So that'll
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: be starting now through quarter three, and there will be
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: two different ways to you qualify. Local game stores can
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: still can still hold tournaments and qualify someone, but the
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: big exciting news is weekly league tournaments on BGA can
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: now qualify someone for a finals event. So, off the
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: top of my head, the Weekly Aces Road to Valhalla,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: I think, the Spaghetti Singleton event, and the Foil Series,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: which is turn based, I believe all of those include
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: a way to qualify for the finals. What that means
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: is if you win one of those weekly events, you
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: get invited to a finals, and then if you win
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: that finals, you are than qualified for Worlds.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, is this going to allow more people to get
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: qualified or no? I don't know if.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: They actually listed the total. I know that the last
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: chance qualifier. I mean you could do that. You could
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: break it down and do the math, because there will
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: still only be winter finals, Spring Finals, and Summer Finals
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: and then a season invitational. So after the three seasons
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: are complete Set four, five, and six, an online invitational
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: event will be held. This provides the last chance opportunity
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: for the performers from each of the season finals to
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: secure their place in World Championships. So I think I
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: maybe misspoke a little because you'll go into the season
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: finals and then you will participate in that, and then
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I guess that qualifies you for the invitational. So this
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: is they're just kind of laying out the road map
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: so far. I think hard numbers and other certain dates
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: aren't really set yet. Looking through the article, Okay, yeah,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: so it does say here. Actually it's just kind of
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: hidden in the sentence. So there will be a last
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: chance qualifier like there was last year. In quarter four
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: of this year, and it says eight available qualification slots
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: will be given towards that and they will join the
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: already secured twenty four other finalists. So at the final
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: World Championship, it's still only going to be thirty two.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: So it's kind of a bummer.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: But okay, Well there's just a lot of different ways
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: to get those qualifications now instead of just playing in
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: one big tournament like the ones in Dallas.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I just I was hoping be more more kind of inclusive,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: but they want to keep it I guess still a little.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, if if they are doing it how they
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: did it last year, it makes sense that it would
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: only be twenty four because that is twenty four people
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: that are getting a paid trip to wherever Worlds is.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Are they still they're still going to pay for it? Huh?
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I am.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I am not sure that is. I don't believe confirmed yet,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: but that is a good reason why I would think
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: that there's a limited amount.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: If that's the case, I could see, you know, keeping
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: it limited, right that I understand.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I don't know exact numbers or anything, but
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: like one of the qualified players from Brazil and then
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: one was like from Malaysia and a flight for those,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: and like some of the stuff is like seven grand
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: or something.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Quite a lot. So so just to reiterate how I
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: am understanding this, because there's not a lot of hard numbers.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: People qualify in weekly events, restore events for the season finals,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: you compete in the season finals, and then if you
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: do well, you'll be invited to the season Invitational. And
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: that's how twenty four players will qualify and then eight
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: will be on seeing last chance qualifier. We just don't
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: know the bracket or I guess, like you know, this
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: tournament is the top four, YadA, YadA, We don't know
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: that information yet.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, still pretty nft. Yeah, I'm glad they're still going
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: to have a I guess are There's still going to
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: be something to go to, right, so that's a big deal.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so this article is actually really long. So some
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: other things that I'll just point out that are super
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: cool is they do mention competitive limited formats, so they
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: want more impact for limited formats this year, which includes
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: draft and sealed, and it's not exactly confirmed on if
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: it'll be like truly competitive, but they also have mentioned
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: no unique and Singleton and doing stuff with those. We
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: just don't know what yet. Astro says, what about two
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: V two. TWOV two has always already been included in
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: basically every competitive event, so at conventions we always do
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: TV two. At Worlds there was TWOV two unless I
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: am remembering entirely and correctly.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: But.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Yes, so more of a support towards those. They talk
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: about a greater role for organizing partners, which we'll dive
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: into in a second on that part, and then they
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: just go through rewards. They talk about the judge program
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: and how they did not fully launch it when they intended,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: but it's coming, and then revising all of the guidelines
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: and YadA YadA, And at the very end you can
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: see the return of the Tumults and the Tumult Champion
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: play mat, which, as always is a very cool play mat. Unfortunately,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: I think it's my least favorite, but it is still
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: very good, still very good play mat.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: You like it?
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I think it's it looks like a player that's kind
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: of like a play I have.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: So many play mats like. It's a cool play mat.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: It has two mult champion on it. If you win,
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: great to show it off.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: But this one has it at the top.
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: Didn't the last two more championships have it in the
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: quarter somewhere.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: I think they're always in the top center.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Champion m.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: But before I.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Top center like that?
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, can can you rattle on to partner leagues
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: anything you guys think or want to comment on on
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: that quick?
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Rundown seems very similar to last year.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: I don't line support.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's it's kinda to be expected, which
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: is good to see. Right, It's nice to see them, Hey,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: you know we're we're doing online because you know, I mean,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: it's they kind of don't get much of a choice
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: in the matter, unfortunately, but like that's where the game
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: is playing. So it's nice to see them like, go, Okay,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: we're gonna embrace this as opposed to.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Just give it a try.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, they're going to embrace it as opposed to
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: like acting like it never happened. There you go, that's
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: the word I'm looking for. Yeah, and a lot of
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: other companies have, right, there's a lot of other companies
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: that are what's the internet? Like, what's like what.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: They have that wow song stuck in their head too,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: So clearly, yeah, say whatever you want about the change
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: in distribution, but this is absolutely because of the change
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: of indistribution. We tried for a long time to work
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: with Asthma DA to get online support, and they were
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: always no, no, no, no, no, no no, especially in
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: North America. I've heard other smaller countries I think, like
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Asthma Day Italy maybe they freaking made like statues for
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: prizes for one of the tournaments in the area, and
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I'm like, damn, why can't why can't we get that
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: asth Mi Day. So yeah, but the online support, Asthma
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Day North America especially never really wanted to work on that.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Not because as we the North America hates hates, hates.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so there there is. There is one good point
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: that I kind of want to bring up in discuss
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: before we talk about the online events, because you know,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of people who still prefer to play
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: in person. There are stores even in the US that
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: supported it. There's a pretty healthy scene in Baltimore and
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: some other areas. One thing that I have seen concern
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: about so far is there are stores that I guess
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: might want to hold a Tumult but didn't order the set,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: which doesn't really make sense to me. But what we
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: don't know about currently is if there's a store that
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: wants to host a Tamil, is there going to be
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: an avenue for them to get something. I would say
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: it's possible because there is a specific like retail email
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: set up for stores, but they have not expressly stated
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: because the idea was if you order the set through
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: the retail part of Game Found, you get the Tumult
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: and adventure stuff like basically for free added on to it.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know why a store would want to host
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: one but not order the set, but that's just my thoughts.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: That would be weird, that would be funny. I would
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: agree with you on that one. So, but I mean
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: you never know, right like, it's weird. Stuff happens. I
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: guess that's the only way I can. I'm gonna put
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: it to you. But yeah, you'd want to have obviously
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: something to sell your constituents. I would think, right like, hey,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: come play this game and nothing to sell you or
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: for price support? Yeah yeah.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: All all they had to order to get the Tumult
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Kit was two cases, which is only twelve displays?
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Is it six per trust me?
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: That I believe? I believe so that is really not
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: a lot, especially if you're a store that thinks you
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: can hold a tumult like this is true because who
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: helped individual people that ordered a case.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Right last year?
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Tons of stories.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: No I don't know, Oh yeah, no, you're right, you're right,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: you're right. Maybe for some of the smaller stores, it's
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: going to be a burden. I'm thinking. I was thinking
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: more of the big the two big well were the qualifiers,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: which one was at games in Baltimore and Baltimore and
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the one in Dallas. So those are the two I
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: was thinking of.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: So even a small store though, like if if you
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: want to hold a tumult, you either have players that
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: wanted to pre order or you just inherited a bunch
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: of players after the campaign or something. Twelve boxes is
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: really not that much to go through. But I hope
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: they have an answer for that. How it would work
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: previously is you would just ask Asthma day be like,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: hey can we host a tumult? And once again that
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: caused tons of issues. So while ordering it up front
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: is maybe harder for some, it ensures that you have
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: the product when you want to hold the tumult, and
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: also that you don't get the wrong season, which happened
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: more often than you would think.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, I really so oh, but it was under
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: It was under like they would send.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: They would send the Trial by Frost play mats for
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Whispers from the Maze and and YadA YadA, and they
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: would be late or they would show up the day.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Sorry. Yeah, thinking, I'm thinking all of the things that
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: like some of us all went through well before this
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: game was even a thing, and it's just like, yeah,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: the good old days of as day controlling your your
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: tournament stuff was just a nightmare because they didn't know
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: their heads from their asses half the time. It was great.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: I think a very good note that kind of points
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: towards me thinking they'll be open to stuff like this
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: is they have a sponsorship article and we're mainly going
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: to talk about online because that's what we run and
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: a lot of us play in. But there is a
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: section here for in person tournaments, and it basically just says,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: for any tournament, we encourage you to contact Equinox Organized
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Play Team at opatalter dot gg and then they list
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: out based on how many players you know, what kind
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: of stuff they will send you. It starts at sixty
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: four players, but there have been more than a couple times,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: you know, grassroots tournaments that have gotten more than sixty
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: four players. So if you want to organize something like that,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: or you're a store that wants to, you just got
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: to email them.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: So are they going to be doing the two larger
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: one like they did last year the invitational?
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: No? I think that's going to be online.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Are going to be on the line now? Yeah?
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I think so because one of their partners in the
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: US UH backed out of Altered entirely. So uh, it
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: was it was our l gs, it was common ground
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: there no longer doing Altered. Yeah, and they hosted the
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Dallas w c q UH. They they did not vibe
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: with the Bloody Monday communication.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: They didn't vibe.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: It was a download for a lot of places for sure.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Yep, yep, I mean it was which you know, it
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: was an unfortunate event, which means whoever, whoever has as
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: whoever had access to that to that we are at
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: access to post things on the internet. I hope you've
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: taken the access away.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: I don't ever for people to be fired, but that
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: seems like a fireable offense. If someone asks me.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: It was just not peer reviewed, is what we'll say.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: It was just bad timing too.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think it was reviewed at all.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: I'm sure the person who was host did it. It
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: wasn't their fault. I'm sure someone above them was like,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: we need to get this out now, go ahead and
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: do it, and then uh, yeah.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: We'll worry about it later and then yeah, yeah.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: I just I can't see that happening. I just I'm
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: having a hard time for going like, well, okay, so
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: like maybe it's not it was a I just have
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: a hard time believing that it would be like we
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: need to get this information out there, and somebody's like
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: on it, boss, and then they run over and they're
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: like and they just type this up and it's like, oh,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: like it just doesn't seem like that in the day, right,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: that's just like why would you like and no, it's
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: just it's all seems wrong. I don't know, like it
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: just like just even reading it, you're like, it's like
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: that's kind of harsh. Are you sure that's how you
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: want to word that? Like there was I think there's
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: better ways of wording it, but I don't know, like yeah,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I like, I just I have a hard time believing.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, we need to get this information on it.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: It just like doesn't seem it does doesn't seem right,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: is that it seems like that's not the way you
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: do that, And there were significantly better ways of doing
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: things as such, and there were, but well, okay, enough
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: of me.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah now we're uh yeah, we were. We're headed into
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: the new era. And the exciting thing is and ACE
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: is included in part of this. They have worked out
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: a system for online events and any event that has
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: thirty two, you to sixty four players hosted on BGA,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Equinox will provide ten uniques for the top player every week.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: So in ACE, we've now had three weeks, so that's
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: you know, thirty uniques that Equinox is sending to finalists.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: So I have.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Like a connection with Cedric who's the OP manager, and
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: I give him information on you know, who won each week,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: and he sends me uniques to send to that player.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: So it's actually a very cool system.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: I've already all just digital want is that how it works?
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, so you just get them
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: into your account.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: So yeah, so it's like the part where yeah, go ahead, yeah,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: it's gonna.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Take us a little bit to get say the part
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: where we've uh the part. The next part that we
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: talked about a little bit before was like qualifications and
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: things like that. The tournament does have to have sixty
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: four to one hundred and twenty eight players. Right now, ACE,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: which is the tournament series that Altered Corner runs, does
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: not hit sixty four. So if if you want that
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: to happen, you got to sign up for Race. But
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: the top spot gets ten uniques, the second spot gets
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: five uniques, and then three Faction unique cards for each
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: Faction champion and a World Championship Season Finals qualification. So
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: what this means is going back to October is season four.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: So if you competed in a tournament that was over
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: sixty four players and you got, you know, first place,
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: you are then qualified for the Winter is In Finals event,
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: which you will then compete in that to move on
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: to the Invitational, I believe is what they called it.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: What's really cool about that is there are actually going
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: to be I'm not sure if any of them have
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: qualified yet, but there will be no unique tournaments that
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: you can do this with. And Singleton has been partnered
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: as well, I think.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: People were showing up to the in person one in
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: the US World qualifiers. Yeah, the two US qualifiers. Do
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: we remember how many showed up to each one? Fifty?
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Well, Dallas had I think fifty eight or sixty registered,
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: but then there was a bomb threat, so I think
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: we ended up with fifty two fifty three, and then
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: I think Games and Stuff had sixty five or less.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: I'm just having a hard time with everything being online,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Like I just I really feel like it needs well
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: online is I know online is king, right, I get it,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: But like if you're not what more popular?
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: No?
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: And I get it, right, I get it that online
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: is the way people are playing right now?
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Right, what is.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: The strategy then to make this game become a little
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: bit more? Right? What's the growth strategy look like here
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: in the next I know right now they're kind of
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: in well, we're just really working from game found to
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: game found. I guess just it's not a great way
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: to work just by previous experiences. Just like, what's what's
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: your growth strategy? Because you're not because you're not encouraging
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: people to get into the stores to play it. But
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, is I guess does that even matter? Anymore, Like,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: I don't my thing like online is online is?
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: I was just gonna say my hot take is it
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: does not matter as much anymore. I think for far
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: too long we've put this the game store matters first
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: and foremost above all else, and I actually think it's
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: very bad for games just but like.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: What's your I don't know about that, like, because your
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: growth strategy is, Like, what is your growth strategy for
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: growing the game into more? Like because now it seems
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: like once it goes to online. I mean, I know
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: there's games like Hearthstone out there, but those are fully digital, right,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: They're not expecting you to buy any you know, overpriced
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: cardboard pieces. They're asking you to buy overpriced pieces of code.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: But like what if you're not? Just is do we
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: live in a world where altered might just become fully virtual?
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: That's a question I'm doing, not you, But.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: I think this is kind of I do not think so.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: I think yeah, so I think along what Cole.
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: I think what was was going to say was that
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: digital would be the main audience and the physical would not.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Digital is is one hundred percent the main audience? We've
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: seen that because somehow we're pulling hundreds of people online,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: but like struggling to get anybody in store. Right, So
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: obviously digital is your main audience. But then would it
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Is it cheaper to do the online
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: portion than it is running actual physical cards? Then is
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: this something that we can.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Be sure?
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, but put put those aside, right, I don't
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: think the tariffs are the end all be all to
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: you know, there's other games that are being affected by
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: the tariffs, and that you know they're not they're not struggling, right,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: maybe they are. No, I'm not as I'm not as
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: deep in those communities. But does I just is this
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: a way you know what I mean? Because we're talking,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: we're talking. What do we say? Two point five million
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: is their goal per game found? Right?
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: And then we have to keep in mind that altered
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: is tied to the physical and if people don't find
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: the physical, they can't scan.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: And maybe you can't scan, you don't have a marketplace.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Well okay, but if if if I am going full
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: digital at that point, right, you don't Yeah, exactly right,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: there's nothing there's no need.
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: To find another avenue to be able to have products
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: and actually stand out the people in some way, because
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: there's just making actual online marketplace for it, and.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: The unfortunate people, well there isn't on you they they
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: only online marketplace for it. You guys are right now
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: everybody's swapping basically digital pieces of code right that you
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: have the option to print if you so desire. Yeah,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: but like more or less right now, there's already that's
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: already built into the system. It just seems like it's
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: an unfortunate series of events that we that altered as hit. Like,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: you know, at first this game had a lot of
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: hype behind it, and then like things didn't go fast
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: enough for some people who don't understand how the real
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: world works. Thank you millennials, like it's just and they
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: were like, well this is not I'm out because this
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: isn't happening at the speed I want it to happen at.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: So a bunch of people left and then.
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: Well thinking that, like the marketplace doesn't exist, but the
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: only cars that currently exist in it are cars that
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: you can actually scan. Right, so if for whatever reason,
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: you take the physical completely gone, yeah, right now you
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: know all the physical cards were completely gone, the marketplace
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: are remove, you will be able to scan anything anymore, right,
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: so they had to create.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: A new whole.
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: Infrastructure and product line that would be specific to online,
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: which doesn't exist.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: It doesn't exist.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: There are cards that only exist digital.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the problem was though, but they aren't on the marketplace.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah they are.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Why wouldn't they be.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: Oh, the Musubie cards Okay, I thought you were talking
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: about like the dragon from that event.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's two a couple of them that.
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: Are that are yeah available to everyone.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: Right, So, like I don't know, like, is this is
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: this the world that we live in where just you know,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: like again digital has taken over? Like is this a
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: way for and what it hurt altered more to just go, hey,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: we're going full digital. I don't know what, like what
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: kind of money that one can get would hurt?
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: It would hurt?
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Why would it hurt?
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: Because there is still people that really enjoy playing physical
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: and don't like digital, like yourself, that to play in stores.
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: That market still does exist currently, it's just smaller.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Than But I feel I am very much in the minority,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: very much in the minority. Yeah, And if I had
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: easier access to cards, because I don't have access besides
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: the game found if I had easier access, if I
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: could just go online and maybe buy a box and
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: rip some digitis. Right, I might be a little more active.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know, might I might might not be. Well,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: you know, you.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Can just go on the marketplace and buy like sixty
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: cards for.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: All.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: This is true, But like, I don't know, Like I
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: just I feel like maybe this is a measure they
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: could take and then you cut out the physical realm
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: and maybe make your your goals a little bit easier.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: We're still keeping into the card game realm.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, so what I would say is I
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: think going forward, this is going to be more of
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: the reality. It's not going to be like huge push
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: into physical only or huge push into digital only. It's
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: going to be a more incorporated mix of both. And
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: I think if they were to go one hundred percent digital,
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: the issues with that are not what most people would think.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: They've already proven that they can, you know, divvy out hundreds,
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: if not thousands of uniques digitally that have never been printed,
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: same with altart cards, things like that, and then, if anything,
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: that keeps the marketplace going, because if everyone you know
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: gets them at some point, maybe for some reason, someone
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: wants wants six instead of three, you know, and if
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: you sell them on the market, you can do that.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Just recently they unlocked the ability to sell the alt
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: art beyond the gates tokens, so Ma Buddha and the
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: Recruit and I think Brass Book and the Buddha one
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: is selling for like three dollars a token because people
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: that didn't buy the first set had no way of
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: getting them until now. The issue, I think if they
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: were to go fully digital would be laws. They they
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: are an international game, which most TCGs actually aren't, and
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: there are a lot of laws around like digital packs
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: and what a lot of countries consider gambling.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. I wonder how gets around that.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: They are different in other countries and things like that.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: That the worst where's the main office? It's right said.
• 41:25
  Speaker 6: Europe has really really really strict laws on loop boxes
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: and gambling compared to the US.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: YEP, they just have to change it to where like
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: you can't buy a box for six bucks and not
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: you know, get what you want or something like that.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: I think if you're able to earn an in game
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: currency for them, it's a little more lenient, But I
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: I haven't looked into those changes in a long time,
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: but more countries are starting to, you know, break down
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: on it even more.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: Because I wonder if you're breaking down on the online stuff,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: like how is this not being broken down into the
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: card game division, into car you know, magic and Pokemon
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: and all this stuff too over overseas because it, you know,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: has physical products that everyone can get their profits in.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know, or because legislations are stupid.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: That's probably because legislations are stupid, but I wonder, I wonder,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: But that's I think that mays top it for a
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: different day. I'll maybe do some research on it and
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: we'll try to figure it out.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: I think for the United States, the thing that a
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: lot of people might not want to hear is that
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: the game is going to be mostly digital in the
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: United States. But I think their system is really good anyways.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: If you do, you back the game founds to get
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: physical product. Unfortunate side of things is if you don't
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: have anywhere to play locally, they're kind of like dead
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: once you scan them, you know, but the marketplace changes
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: that entirely. I have honestly, it's helped me survive the
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: last two months because, as some people may know, I've
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: been unemployed, just selling cards on the marketplace. So if
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: I back the game found and I pull something like
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: an extra exalt or you know, the Hunger is really expensive, rare,
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, well, I'm not playing Bravos, not even online.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: I can just sell them for profit and you know,
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: take that money out. So I think how you look
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: at the physical product, whether you can play with it
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: or not, is you know how most of the US
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: will go forward, But who knows, maybe there will be
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: a revitalization and it'll come back around in different areas
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: where it died out. It's happened before, and there still
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: are pockets of you know, good groups of people. It's
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: just the US has no public transportation and is very
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: spread out.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yep, I wouldn't say no, but like I
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: not great quality.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I shared the other day if I wanted to
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: take public transit to my LGS common ground, Google literally says, sorry,
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: there's no way to do this, Like there's no way
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: to get to that store with public transit in my area,
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: which is very funny.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: That's a bummer. All right, where did we leave off?
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: Did we do Winter season Finals? I think we did that.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Yep, yep, So we talked about the Winter Season finals.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: We talked about the Demo Deck tournament. I normally would
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: have had more information because they used to be hosted
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: by a Wall, but a Wall is no more, so
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: I do not have any more information other than it's
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: happening that date that we said earlier Sunday something. It's
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: in the article, but I'm sure more information will come out,
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: And as usual, as important information comes out, I tag
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: at Digital in the Altered Corner discord, which you would
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: be really silly to mute if you've signed up for
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: those notifications, because if you come to me six days
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: later and say I never saw that, I'll tell you
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: that I pinged you for it. But yeah, the last
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: two things are just super quick before we get into
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: the question and events and wrap up reveal season for
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: Seeds kicks back up January twenty ninth. We have about
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: I think a guy trying said forty five ish percent
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: of the set revealed, so the rest of it will
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: start coming out then. And in this main article that's
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: on the website that we're talking about, there's just reminders
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: for you know, game found information. If you didn't get
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: your uniques, do this, if you know you need to
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: change your address. Blah blah blah.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: Do that.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: So make sure you have all your things lined up
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: before it ships, because you don't want it to ship
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: to your grandma's house if you don't live there anymore.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: Me and mom's gotten what's what's what's your.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: What's what's your wife saying? Look at what she saying.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know if she's talking to my daughter. It's
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: gonna be that time of that time we got all right,
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: We got to get people to people to Betty buys.

• 47:32

  Speaker 1: they just start later, okay.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: And you eat in the eggs at ten pm.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I love eggs.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: I am on an have nightmares about those green egg
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: aliens from Goosebumps.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: Well at ten I've been really good, but as of late,
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: I have been in a extraordinary today. I'm in a
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: time bunch, right, I've been. I've been doing a lot
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: of stuff today, so I kind of am in a
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: time bunch. I lost track of time because I've been
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: trying to get a bunch of stuff done. But regardless
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: of that, I am on a what I'm gonna call
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: somewhat of a health journey this year to maybe drop
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: a handful of pounds.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: And kind of see if my thirty eight year old
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: ass can do it. So eggs are typically a good
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: way to shed weight, eating them at ten pm is not,
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: but you know, it is what it is. You know.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: It was one of those things where I was doing
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: stuff all day and then all of a sudden, I'm like,
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: oh shit, it's fucking before I knew it. It was
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: like my alarms going off, and I'm like, what's my
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: alarm going off for? I'm like, oh fuck, it's nine.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: Who knew?
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I'm ready to uh see shredded shredded Wookie.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you'll get a shredded Wookie, but
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: hopefully you'll get a slim down Wookie.
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: This so it.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: All shredded and just shredded to you, guys, Ready to answer,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: Ready to go to the question?
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: Everybody answer a fun question?
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, jeez, I can't answer this.
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: Maybe a question seems like an oxymoron to me.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: If you could make your idea definition of because Dexter
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: is gonna be like a one drop that just wins
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: the game, that's not broken, that's not broken.
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: That's really.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: Let me let me lead the way for you here, Dexter.
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: Uh huh.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: All right, So the question is ideal non broken unique.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: There you go, ideal non broken unique. All right.
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: So mine is in Muna. It costs three from hand,
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: two from reserve or three whatever, it don't matter. And
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: all it does is at dusk if it has a boost,
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: it draws a card. That's it. It's good. That's all
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: I need. That's all I need, no landmark requirement, no
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: other character requirements, just that, and it's good. It's what
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: Muna needs, and it's not broken. See.
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: I have a lot of different ideas, but I'm pretty
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: sure you would quantify them. All is being broken.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dexters are just going to be.
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: Broken, not bro Bravos three three. Let's say it's stats
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: are understandd so it's like a two to one two
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: and whenever it gains a boost straw card.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: How do we like that? No, no, no, you tried,
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: you tried.
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: It already exists and it's too much.
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: You tried, You tried to make a little bit more expensive,
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: and is it fair?
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: It could It could be a three.
• 51:41
  Speaker 6: Three with a with zero zero zero and you draw
• 51:44
  Speaker 6: a card everything you get a boost, and it's still nasty.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think you realize how much draw card like
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: you have to reel that in to make it.
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: That's why I like it.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: Every time you draw efficiency just as through the roof
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: like you're I don't feel like you understand the powerfulness
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: of just the phrase that you just said. Because I
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: want something with birds, so like every time you play
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: a bird, it would be a bird. What are all
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: we're all the birds? Are they all in muna? I
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: don't know if mag I know they're.
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: They're multiple factions. It would be the subtype animal is
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: what you're looking for.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: I know it's got to be bird. Bird.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know something bird subtype.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: First of all, we need to make we need to
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: make the subtype of bird. And then you know when
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: whenever you go, it would be played. Whenever you play.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: You know, a bird, you can place a plus one,
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: you can place one boost on target bird. Very bird centric.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: But adding the bird subtype breaks the game because birds
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: are already in it, and they're all animals.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: You know, we gotta maybe we got a oracle text
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: some of these bad boys to their animals and birds.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: Oh god, you know, we'll we'll cross that bridge. Lately,
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: it said ideal, Right, if I can make my ideal,
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: My ideal involves making a whole a whole subtype.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: But they're they're already animals. You just need more of them.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't want all the other dirty animals
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: to get it. Just bird. Yeah.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: No no cats or dogs allowed.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: No cats, no dogs, no bunny is no what else
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: do we got in this? I think the whale, right,
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: the sky whale is technically an animal. No it's not,
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: is it?
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: Yep?
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's but a subtype of animal and it's just
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: a Leviathan.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: No.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just want the birds. It's my idea. This
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: is my dream world. Guys, deal with this, okay. Anyways,
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: do we have Felix?
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: Not yet?
• 54:17
  Speaker 6: But mine it's pretty simple, all right. I just need
• 54:20
  Speaker 6: I just need garret with a lower reserve cost. Fine,
• 54:25
  Speaker 6: I have one.
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: It's like.
• 54:30
  Speaker 6: I have one that's two three three zero zero, and
• 54:34
  Speaker 6: then from anywhere you can pay one one manna to
• 54:38
  Speaker 6: pick up a cover from your reserve.
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: I just need it to be a two.
• 54:40
  Speaker 6: Two three zero zero and you don't have to pay
• 54:43
  Speaker 6: the man I have to pick up something, got it reasonable?
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: What's funny is you and all your garricks and me
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: and Arrows I pulled I opened I don't know, like
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: fifteen assorted packs or something over the weekend, and I
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: pulled to New Arrows uniques, just sitting down to do that.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: It was funny.
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: I have a full page of Garys right now, in
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: half of another one.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I believe Felix is going to sneak off
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: into the sunset.
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: He has to see me. I will sneak off.
