- 0:00What's popping? Were helping to proceed with casting my team in the top to
- 0:03believe in the process. Put up. Then we put an out trays that
- 0:05we barked on a save here. I'm got in this space with the Martians.
- 0:07Fume because the famous will maybe so hartness, we will never be the
- 0:10same people. Things I accomplished flows Sotoe, but you may need some boxing
- 0:13boa whoa said they really want to feature to him. Hi, this is
- 0:16Michael Hurley from Ghost Galaxy and you're listening to our CON's corner said he wasn't
- 0:20coming. I know we can. We can do all the naughty things now.
- 0:25No, you guys want to talk about half they're they're not nearly as
- 0:31much fun when he's not here. Oh yeah, this is all true.
- 0:36What's going on? Anybody? Welcome to the impromptu Monday Show. I don't
- 0:39know why we're doing this show on a Monday, but here we are.
- 0:43Someone's got to be in Vegas this weekend and starting Thursday. Nobody cares about
- 0:47you. Draft Car, come on, not a son. Everything we do
- 0:51we uh man, what do I call you? Joke show? I have
- 0:57better I've had better intros for Draft Car. I Apolo Dazed Draft Car,
- 1:00but we have the Choke Show Draft Car. Let's go, guys. We
- 1:03have our resident PhD doctor Sheep. Still haven't learned anything? Yeah, we
- 1:10have. We got a couple of special guests with us. We've got Gorlami
- 1:15as it go and by possibly the best name, and all of us cards,
- 1:19sets of agmar what I do. So we brought them on to have
- 1:23a little talk about the Dallas Vault Tour. Obviously that that came and went,
- 1:30and these are your two winners. How's it feel to win? Boys?
- 1:34Feels pretty good. Not everybody at once. Everybody's came down over great,
- 1:42It's pretty good. I did what I needed to do. You know,
- 1:46I played a real tight game and uh, you know, got got
- 1:49it done. Now, I won't say that it's like it's like every like
- 1:55high school quarterbacks, like interview they do where they go to stay. We
- 2:00worked real hard. We've gotta do. It's not just high school, it's
- 2:04it's professional and collegiate sports too. Yeah, you're not wrong. Did you
- 2:08find your hundred and ten percent? We gave it our all. We gave
- 2:13it our all out there, you know, left it all on the left,
- 2:16it all on the table forty cards, one hundred and ten percent.
- 2:23I don't think that bodes well for fraud. But Dallas came and went.
- 2:29We had a bunch of fun at Dallas. Let's go over. Do we
- 2:31want to go over the numbers real quick? Then we could deep dive into
- 2:36them later because I do like the numbers. Yeah, alright, So,
- 2:40oh boy, I see one thing already that where's jam? Is he here?
- 2:45No? No Jam? All right, So I'm gonna let you out.
- 2:49Well, y'all already seen it. Sixty two percent of all decks,
- 2:54we're wins of exchange decks. Yes, in our con. I'm sorry,
- 2:59this is our con. I don't if I didn't say that already. We
- 3:01had twelve percent call of the archons deck decks one point seven. So were
- 3:08there fifty eight total? There's fifty eight total ARCon players, is that correct?
- 3:14Yeah? That sounds right. I twenty five. I thought it was
- 3:16like forty something, but so what we had like three call of the art
- 3:22con dex ish Uh, it was more than that, right, because because
- 3:29let me get my calculator, fifty ten percent would be five six yeah somewhere
- 3:38in there, yes, seven seven decks two of them were still they're making
- 3:46the run for top eight. Okay, Age of Ascension, welcome the Age
- 3:53of a Centro Apologists one point seven percent. World's Collide at ten point three.
- 3:58Mass Mutation also ten point three. Here's the one that's going to kick
- 4:01everybody. Who did it? Shape vault Masters three point four, two of
- 4:08them. Yeah, I believe they were both opened at the event too,
- 4:13if I recall, Yeah, I played against one of them actually, I
- 4:19think first round, and it was it was actually a really interesting deck because
- 4:25you know, most of the good good I'll put that in air quotes,
- 4:28we haven't seen like good good, but we've seen some decent stuff, mostly
- 4:32because some of the logos, houses are crazy and everything else is often leave
- 4:40something to be desired. But this did not have logos, and I had
- 4:45some good stuff. Had a really sweet star alliance sweet had a gang or
- 4:48not with a brick nasty I think, and then the uh the untamed was
- 4:56was okay, but it was you know, it was. It was better,
- 5:02I guess, a well, more well rounded deck than I've seen before,
- 5:08but now obviously didn't didn't make top eight or anything like that. I
- 5:12want to go real quick over the top twelve cards because I think this paints
- 5:15I mean, obviously with the things that paints the story. Brick Nasty number
- 5:19one, that Minder number two, Berserker Slam number three, closed Door Negotiation
- 5:26number four, zaura at number five, but Funneled number six, Rant and
- 5:30Rhyme number seven, Rowdy Skulled number eight, Generous Offer number nine, count
- 5:35Minder number ten, Mix number eleven, and scoop Up number twelve. They
- 5:42always do such random numbers. But literally the most played cards I guess,
- 5:47no shocker there came out of the most played set. I mean those are
- 5:55almost all exclusively wins of a right, which one of those is not exclusively?
- 6:02Ah, that's it. That's really and I doubt you're seeing many from
- 6:10from from World's Collide. Yeah, all the Good World's Clyde Brobner was shipped
- 6:15to Italy. Mm hmm, it's all over there. So yeah, I
- 6:18forgot about Berserker Slam being in World's Collide, So my bad. But we're
- 6:25here to talk about the vault, So gorlow me. Which one did you
- 6:29play? I played Alliance perfect and how did How was the Alliance field?
- 6:39I would say full of really good players. I there were twenty five people
- 6:45who place. Yeah, twenty five total people lost the article. Yep,
- 6:51that's correct, twenty five yep. And for the most part, Yeah,
- 6:57I would say everyone that I saw our played, I knew of them or
- 7:03have played them in person or on TCO before. So pretty good, wasn't
- 7:09there one? There was one person who I didn't recognize. I played again
- 7:15like a casual game against him, who I thought made Top eight four.
- 7:21Yeah, you're talking about straw Man. He's a local two Z's group over
- 7:25in Houston. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha? The the one non team player.
- 7:32That's something we've kind of been touching around the edges on is like,
- 7:35when you look at these uh you look at these standings for this, there's
- 7:42what three people who aren't between who are three of the biggest major teams.
- 7:48Isn't everyone on a team? I'm sure they're all on a team. Dallas
- 7:54Archid Top four. I'm gonna butcher this Coke Coke Coca they Yep, I
- 8:01sure, I don't know if he's on any teams, all right, Frozen
- 8:05Tonton. I believe he's on a team. No, No, he's a
- 8:09AC regular. Actually no, brilliant brother brother de Zander, who is on
- 8:15Team Sass Okay, Seth, what team are you on? Team Repout and
- 8:22Flaming Hobo also Team Repout, so half, and then we have Alliance Z
- 8:31obviously SaaS aviated, what is Aviator on? He's a br he's abr Okay,
- 8:37Gore Lammy obviously you are Repout and and Cordero team Team Repout as well.
- 8:43So team's obviously playing a big role. I think we'll touch on that
- 8:50another days. Literally the first name I said, maybe do you even listen
- 8:58to this show? Maybe I just locked it out. I was like,
- 9:00oh gosh, I don't want to hear about that. I don't want to
- 9:01hear about Z's supposed to fight in front of the guests. Oh sorry,
- 9:07sorry, my bad, bad, But moving forward, I totally lost my
- 9:11spot in at oh Vault Tour for Alliance a bit more of a spread,
- 9:16which I think is what Alliance is probably gonna be good at Winds of Exchange
- 9:20at thirty seven percent, mass mutation at twenty five, World's Collide at sixteen,
- 9:26AOA at twelve and a half, call the Artchions at four point two,
- 9:33and then Vault Master coming in there also at four point two. Is
- 9:37there any chances that call the Archons, ever breaks back into alliance with with
- 9:43the current list that is available with the current bandon restrictive list. Maybe it
- 9:48took second in Seattle and then uh, I don't know. You walk had
- 9:56a chance to play a pretty good run and shows not too but it does
- 10:01suffer the worst from what the current band list is. I think. Actually
- 10:07the interesting thing I see in this article was going back to the top cards
- 10:13was closed Door Negotiations number four at nineteen, and in my now play experience
- 10:22playing WHOA, I actually have closed door pretty far down on my list.
- 10:26The draw it gives the good decks often then comes back and punishes you significantly.
- 10:33And sealed where they're likely to draw a bunch of creatures and then you
- 10:35can kill them. It's fine, but like at this level of play,
- 10:39closed doors I don't think is a great choice. And if you also look
- 10:46at the top eight, there is a zero transition that a zero closed door
- 10:50that I found made it to the top eight. How about you, guys,
- 10:56Sith and Golam, how have you guys found the closed door? Yeah?
- 11:01I would agree with that assessment. Yeah, I don't recall seeing any
- 11:07closed doors any of my matches. Of the top eight. I know,
- 11:11I get a little giddy when somebody plays closed Door against Fraud because it basically
- 11:16means I'm gonna go Banana's next turn. Well, I think part of it
- 11:22is that there are so few key sheets in this set to reset you back
- 11:26down to very low to then let you burst up even further to make it
- 11:31feel like you get more value for that. Yeah, unlike you had and
- 11:39in previous sets. What do you mean, I just totally like, Yeah,
- 11:50like your ability to go to zero. So when you play your closed
- 11:54Door, you're getting more value out of it. Yeah, okay, so
- 11:58like we used to do with Classic Switch. I mean I think it just
- 12:03gives too many cards to people. Yeah, I definitely the guys of the
- 12:07case is it. I got my fucking balls pushed in two weeks ago because
- 12:11of that, because Z just says you always play it, always play it.
- 12:18Ah, I'm I'm onto a mostly discard. It er thrown in the
- 12:24discord right now. I like closed Door during people for Steel one. I
- 12:28mean that's fine. Yeah, I think you play it for lower value than
- 12:33you play it for big value where you had them draw four plus cards,
- 12:39especially at like you guys were saying it the level of competition that we were
- 12:46playing at, like the I don't of value in each deck, Like you're
- 12:52just giving them that much more cards that they can use. It's not usually
- 12:58worth it at that level. M right. Even imagine a quote unquote you
- 13:05know, good scenario where saith right, you're playing Faithy, your opponent just
- 13:11forges. They're at zero, you're in check. They do a huge steal,
- 13:16right, they're giving you that chance to get your steward right. Yea.
- 13:20So that's and that if you don't get it, man, you know
- 13:26where one of the you know, get some of your standhoppers, maybe it's
- 13:28worth it. But if you do get it, like that is a huge,
- 13:31huge deal. Mhm. Let's uh, I guess let's get into that.
- 13:37Obviously, the reasons he is not here is because of strange shell.
- 13:39Do doc won a one of all tours? So he's no longer say I
- 13:46was wondering why he wasn't here for to be an apologetic about strange Yeah,
- 13:50we actually just kicked him off the cast altogether under his strange shell. And
- 13:54he has not gone out a molester, hasn't reaped it. So he's uh,
- 14:01you know, he's looking for his Molusk collar. Yeah, yeah,
- 14:05he can't. He can't reap flight or podcast before. Yeah. Now Amberling
- 14:13has to win a vault, which I don't know if it ever will.
- 14:16But there's like a mystical scenario under which I think Camberling, but I mean
- 14:22like a legend, which I guess it isn't real. Well, no cheese
- 14:26sheets, very few key sheets again, right, I think that's another problem.
- 14:30I mean, you have the one go ahead. Amberlin can definitely thrive
- 14:35if it's in the right deck, but it's it's gonna require quite a bit
- 14:41of token spam and then also being able to like dress that key sheet like
- 14:48token up of appreciation. You can just forge for our many tokens and then
- 14:54you can use those tokens to pay for it. So yeah, like there's
- 15:01if you got a maybe a twenty five generator or something like that, maybe,
- 15:05yeah, maybe it can work. But they're also a star alliance.
- 15:11Yeah, and there are some good cards, but there's a lot of mediocrity
- 15:15in there, a lot of beaudiocrity. That's a star alliance we used to
- 15:20So anyway, it's getting back to strain and shall what went into your your
- 15:24deck selection for the event. So I had opened my deck from some stuff
- 15:33I got at gen Con. At first, I didn't even think about it.
- 15:39I saw the three Sandhoppers and was like, Okay, this might be
- 15:45worth something. And then the first time I tested it, I was like,
- 15:50oh, oh, oh, this goes this goes bananas given the three
- 15:56hoppers. I tested it against a couple of different Team Reapout teammates, including
- 16:04Gorlammy here got to see it firsthand before the event. I think. I
- 16:11think Gorlammy you said after we played, You're like, yeah, I'm gonna
- 16:15stick to Alliance. Yes, that was a part of my decision. Yeah,
- 16:23just just in testing it, like it's straight up just a creature deck,
- 16:29which I think is really uncommon for our con tournaments. You don't you
- 16:37don't see that too typically, but with the three hoppers, like you can
- 16:41just build a board really quickly once you get those out. And then in
- 16:45addition, you've got the Pixie with a draw steward, which again I didn't
- 16:52even know that it was there until I played it for the first time.
- 16:55I was like, oh, I can I can do some things with this,
- 17:00And so after testing it, uh playing Dave playing GOURLAMI playing George several
- 17:07times. I just felt very confident in the deck and that's what I figured
- 17:14it would do really well. So you did, You did get one loss
- 17:18right going into too, Yes, I did. The one loss was actually
- 17:25two fellow teammate Magic Duck online. He was playing another wo deck that had
- 17:34double destroy the mall, which really it took me a lot longer to get
- 17:41set up with the sand hoppers against him, and then he was able to
- 17:45burst with double membership drive and I just wasn't able to come back after that.
- 17:51So but yeah, that was the only loss I had. And for
- 17:56those since we don't ever walk bought here, I'll read the name of the
- 18:00deck here. So this is Favy B Trope Dogram the center. And what's
- 18:10really interesting if you don't have Deok in front of you, is that you
- 18:15look at the those first four stats and none of them are are big.
- 18:19In fact, a lot of them are pretty small. Ember control eight point
- 18:25six, expected Ember seven point two, artifact control point three, creature control
- 18:30six point one. So it it doesn't jump off the page. Now you
- 18:34do have your twenty three speed and your seven point eight disruption, but just
- 18:38purely by the stats, purely by those numbers, you're like, wait,
- 18:41what, but it's in the it's in how you use it. Yes,
- 18:48yes, it very much is, and in those stats aren't necessarily wrong outside
- 18:55of hoppers. Like the deck is very slow. It's got it does have
- 19:03amber control in every house, but it can really come down to timing if
- 19:07you don't have the setup ready. So like it's the the only amber control
- 19:17it has is like the two Hamas and unfathomable. And then you've got the
- 19:23two Mix in marsh and then in Equiton you're really just hoping that you have
- 19:32puzzling trinket to use the pips for capture if you need it. But other
- 19:37than that, it really doesn't have any way to stop my opponent. Now,
- 19:41once I get the combo out, then it just it generates a ton
- 19:48of draw and efficiency being able to play out of house creatures, including the
- 19:56hemas, including the Mix, so I can time those and just called equit
- 20:00on every turn. So look, looking at your deck, do you think
- 20:07it would be as good if it was not a a Strange Shell deck?
- 20:15Uh? No, Actually, I think I think the Strange Show actually makes
- 20:21it that much better. Strange Show is easily the most optimal token for this
- 20:26deck specifically, and I think, uh, Strange Show. Before I found
- 20:32this deck, I was a very big advocate like Z that Strange Show was
- 20:34terrible. But I think in this this very specific deck, like, if
- 20:41you don't have Strange Show, then you risk tokenizing one of your combo pieces,
- 20:47one of the three Hoppers or the Steward and then and then not being
- 20:51able to get that back until you cycle. But considering the deck is already
- 20:55really slow, chances are you aren't going to get a chance to cycle again.
- 20:59So I think strange Shell is e key token for this deck specifically.
- 21:08So what you're saying is there's a token for every deck. Possibly, Yeah,
- 21:15Shredder be a token. Does that seems like the right one for a
- 21:18lot of them. We can make a Shredder token that that might be the
- 21:23next thing, all right, Gurlamy, what led you to your alliance deck?
- 21:30Uh? So, I've been practicing that particular alliance for a while,
- 21:37and I'll start with a shout out to Aviator for letting me borrow the dis
- 21:42pod and that particular alliance. But I've always been a big fan of just
- 21:51Fast Creature Flood and one of my more favorite archetypes and mass mutation, and
- 22:00the overall meta has seemed to have been favoring those type of decks from what
- 22:08I've seen from Jay Power and Noble One winning, so I decided to go
- 22:15with it last minute. I actually didn't decide to play Alliance until that morning
- 22:23on Saturday, so and I think the ongoing joke at the moment is that
- 22:32my whole motivation to play Alliance was to beat Dave in an Alliance at some
- 22:37point of the tournament, So that's that's that that was specifically the reason I
- 22:44chose Alliance at the end of the day. But yeah, I think the
- 22:51deck has done pretty well for me in practice. It's just very board based.
- 22:56I can it feels like like a Woe type of spam creature deck,
- 23:04but faster and without losing those key cards that I would like. The deck
- 23:11doesn't have a lot of amber, so it's I actually also considered that so
- 23:18I could get around in Furnace. The has five total amber pips, including
- 23:23any bonus enhanced things, so really and Furnace is going to have to purge
- 23:30my creatures and forego any amber control, so that's also a big component in
- 23:38it. And I can cycle through creatures pretty effectively over and over, even
- 23:45if you decide to wipe my board. So, yeah, I think it
- 23:51does well with needing creature control, and I think Alliance doesn't have a lot
- 23:56of that at the moment. Yeah, and that's an interesting thing where you're
- 24:00playing still to deal with the in furnace meta that exists, which it still
- 24:06shows up as number three on the cards for Alliance, where it now no
- 24:11longer even shows up on the on the standard archon list right and even if
- 24:19you look, but only twenty percent of the decks that came could even have
- 24:22in furnace in them in ARCon where it's still on the top list. So
- 24:30playing around in furnace there is definitely a thing. Yeah, when people sacrifice
- 24:33something, c is is often a choice exactly, So she's the easiest one
- 24:41to get rid of usually that that and r so I went with pushing for
- 24:47my see agenda there. And importantly you've got a couple of key cards in
- 24:57here, right, You've got your Dark Revolt with how many mutants is this?
- 25:02This is close to twenty here it's nineteen, I believe. Okay,
- 25:06yeah, quite a lot. And Eaton's jar your auto and Cooder lots of
- 25:14lots of important artifacts to back up all these draw pips with these chronoss Yeah,
- 25:21two chronises. I think honestly, the Skippy time Hug was MVP the
- 25:26entire run. I ran into other creature based decks and uh, spamming Skippy
- 25:33two to three times a game was really impactful. And obviously with the draw
- 25:41I'm able to archive a lot. If Chronus ever comes down and there's yeah,
- 25:47there's a lot of drop pips and the untamed. So if the Coronis
- 25:51ever lives, I'm having a pretty big turn. I'm going into that tame,
- 25:56turned to archive and set up for the next Right you did, Now,
- 26:02I'm curious, Right, you got a vaults blessing. There's a decent
- 26:06amount, not a massive amount, but there's a decent amount of mutant decks
- 26:10out there in in Alliance. How often did you find this to be quite
- 26:17valuable versus maybe uh, something you you had to think about before playing?
- 26:23Uh? There was I think one or two games where I thought about it,
- 26:27But for the most part I had creatures on board already, so I
- 26:33was able to fight stuffave to give the opponent less value. So Vaults Blessing
- 26:38is actually always a play and it's my main form of Ambergin in that deck.
- 26:45So it makes usually bursts for something around eight eight or more nice And
- 26:52at some point, I think, depending on the matchup, I'll loop vaults
- 26:56Blessing for at six if I'm towards the end of my deck. That's a
- 27:03that's a good thing. Yeah, so yeah, a lot of Rule of
- 27:08six things they can do towards the end of the game, which really like
- 27:11I think that was one of the big key things that I did in my
- 27:17finals game where I rule of six mind fired in disc So that was I
- 27:22think that was a that's a big component against combo decks for for that alliance
- 27:27specifically. Yea, check out those Martian generosities, right, yep, I
- 27:33did. I did hit one very very lucky hit on game two, and
- 27:37I think that was what won Mede that game. Nice all right, So
- 27:45sorry, So, uh, Gramma, you said you were going to Vegas?
- 27:48Sith are you? Are you gonna make it to Vegas? No?
- 27:52I will not be yet Vegas. Okay, And now, girl, I
- 27:56mean, now that you're a qualified rich key Forge player, what's your goals?
- 28:03You got there? Now? Uh? I don't know. I wouldn't
- 28:10say all the thousands, but I don't know. I'm just gonna keep playing.
- 28:18I honestly didn't expect to win when I went to Dallas. I just
- 28:23wanted to The goal was top eight at the end of the day and being
- 28:29able to make it to finals and win the whole thing. Make it to
- 28:33finals against Aviator of all people, one of my locals here that I play
- 28:38against, and he's I think he's one of the best players in Keybordge at
- 28:45the moment, so h to have been able to play with him and win
- 28:48against him was honestly a big shocker to me. So but I'm just gonna
- 28:55keep playing. I'm excited to play at World, so that's gonna be super
- 29:00fun. I'm gonna be there with I hope as many of the team Reap
- 29:03Out members as we can get there, and then Vegas. I don't know
- 29:08what I'm playing yet, so I'll think I'll probably decide on that Saturday morning.
- 29:14Again. You gotta go over to our kind to be the second person
- 29:18with a double inviight was the more invits you guys win, the better chance
- 29:25I get on else Q because that seems to be my only chance because I
- 29:27can't get as a topic, and it's not a lot of questions about how
- 29:33they elcq's gonna work, if you're gonna be able to pick, or if
- 29:36they're just gonna give you based on the spots available. If I had,
- 29:41if I had to take my gases, they're gonna know everybody hu's plane already
- 29:47qualified has to pick, so they'll know how many slots and then they're just
- 29:51gonna go from top to bottom, right like first place, which one do
- 29:55you want to play in? Okay, second place? Which one you want?
- 29:57By the time they get to like fifth or say there whatever for it,
- 30:00they'll be like, well, there's only Alliance left, So who wants
- 30:03to play Alliance? Yeah? I think that's what we've been speculating as well,
- 30:07But that seems like a hard pill to swallow for some people. Got
- 30:12to be prepared for both. Yeah, there's only thirty two slots yeah to
- 30:17play in ARCon So it seems like based off of all the other events that
- 30:22would fill up first, but you know, Alliance keeps getting more people unless
- 30:26unless they actually try to fill a bracket that includes these buys that supposedly people
- 30:33are going to get. Well, they already said in their thing, there's
- 30:36thirty two that's in uh. Well, I think based on the numbers,
- 30:42and I wish Disz was here, he'd probably know, but I think based
- 30:48on the number of fights for all the nationals and the Vault Tours, that
- 30:52there would be more than thirty two. There would be thirty four in right.
- 30:57Yeah, but if you look at the uh their key forging announcement,
- 31:02I'm pretty sure it says thirty two per event. It does. I was
- 31:07going to say for the Vault Tours in is it in? Oh? Yeah,
- 31:12that's Italy. Hi. They were getting four invites? I thought it
- 31:18was two, were they? Yeah? Maybe if they were getting more invites
- 31:22because they don't have as many because they didn't get as many. I mean
- 31:25they I guess all the nationals they got, well, they got more nationals
- 31:30than they did Vault Tours. I don't know. It's kind of a weird
- 31:33because there's what, there's eleven international eleven internationals, so that's twenty two from
- 31:41Grand championships, except we already know Germany didn't even fly our alliance and another
- 31:47one didn't get enough players to have an alliance invite. M hm. So
- 31:52they're all true. So like twenty two archon invites plus the six events from
- 32:00US is another twelve, Right we can do, Matt, that's can't we
- 32:07Yep, we can. And then if there are eight more coming from the
- 32:14two things, that's just over forty. But you know, not everybody's coming,
- 32:19so it'll be interesting. It will be interesting to see that would because
- 32:23that would be even feel worse is if you had an invite to Worlds and
- 32:28then you came and they're like, oh no, sorry, you were one
- 32:30of the first thirty two people to sign up and you can't play, Like
- 32:35I can't imagine they're gonna there. I mean, I mean they've done some
- 32:39things, but like most of them because CPT said to do those things,
- 32:43Like I can't imagine the CTV said to do that, So I they'll figure
- 32:46it out, right. I think thirty two is pretty realistic based off the
- 32:53number of invites they're getting versus who comes, and there will be a few
- 32:57for the LCQ. Hey, I want a game with fraud. Good job,
- 33:05good job, all on the sheet. Okay, all right, So
- 33:08going on with our questions here that we had pre I mean, you guys
- 33:10are doing all the work here I could just sit back and relax. Isn't
- 33:15it nice? It is? It is so nice. Usually you're doing all
- 33:17the talking and I don't get a chance. I love this. We should
- 33:22do this more often. Okay, so anither one of you want to start
- 33:27on this. Originally our questions were around how do you think you were going
- 33:30to deal with woe back in the day when whoe was not the dominant part
- 33:36of the beta, but now for both of them it's the biggest single uh
- 33:40set showing up. But how were you thinking your decks were gonna far against
- 33:45the meta that you've seen developing? Do you want to go first? Score?
- 33:52Let me sure? So I haven't played my particular the alliance that I
- 34:01went with against too much woe, but from my experience, I think I
- 34:07outboard them, and a lot of the disruption from woe, which comes from
- 34:15unfathomable will usually try to hit key combo pieces or key key cards in your
- 34:23hand or stop you from playing cards. Usually I have I think a lot
- 34:30of board presents that it doesn't matter, and if you pitch a card I
- 34:32can usually get back pretty quickly, and especially if it's a creature, I
- 34:37have resurgence, So it'll allow me to get it back once I go back
- 34:45into on Tames. So I didn't think it was going to be that big
- 34:51of a deal for for my deck, But I will most likely try to
- 34:55play Woe in the future, and and I think that'll be the best way
- 35:00to counteract. Well, just play it yourself. Yeah, let's say,
- 35:06did you run into any brick Nasty berserker? I did. I think I
- 35:13ran into one. I ran to Halifest round one and I did jar the
- 35:21Halifest just because I didn't want to see any of the shenanigans. And it
- 35:25was a really good game. I did have to play a round closed door
- 35:30because of I think just the general key difference at the at that point in
- 35:37time, even with the amount of car dry I would have received, I
- 35:40would have I think I still would have lost that particular game. But he
- 35:46wasn't able to build a board big enough to kind of counteract mine, so
- 35:52I was able to keep down the brick nasties and all the crazy Broadner stuff.
- 35:59It seems like you're deck would well, but he has to have it,
- 36:01like just be a big feed for up Endless Howard's brick Nasty. Yeah,
- 36:07it has to come out early. That's usually. I think the big
- 36:09thing is early board is crushing too a lot of decks. All right,
- 36:16here's the most important question of the night. You guys ready, I need
- 36:21your full concentration on this. So ready. Oh well, what's your favorite
- 36:27flavor of mountain dew? Uh? There's there's only one correct answer, and
- 36:34that's Baha blast. Okay, that's acceptable. I would agree Baja blast is
- 36:38an acceptable mountain dew flavor. Did they make a coke zero flavored one?
- 36:43No, that's called coke. That's called coke zero sheep made by the wrong
- 36:47company. Sir, Well, I thought we were contractually obligated to say that
- 36:53we like flaming hot mountain dew. No. No, I told you it's
- 36:57major melons. Back on topic, troublemaker, you don't want to get into
- 37:04colon health, all right, So how do you feel about the meta over
- 37:09in ARCon kind of the same as Glamy. I honestly wasn't too worried about
- 37:19low specifically. I think with Faith being a creature deck, I could just
- 37:25outboard them most of the time. What I was what I was more concerned
- 37:30about was a rush deck, just because Faith is slower. It's only got
- 37:37nine amber pips in the deck, and until I can get the hoppers out,
- 37:45it's a little slow getting things set up. So if if I was
- 37:50paired against a Rush deck, then I thought I was going to have some
- 37:52trouble, which I did lose to a deck that was pretty bercy with membership
- 38:00drive. But my first round match was actually against a Coda Rush and I
- 38:07barely squeaked that one out just because I was able to get a board and
- 38:09reap out a little slightly quicker than they were able to get to their third
- 38:16key. So sorry, I gotta make a note there to add in a
- 38:20drum roll real quick, you know, a little yeah, sorry, go
- 38:28ahead draft. No, I was just gonna make a bad joke. It's
- 38:30like, oh, well, I wasn't cheap, was it with his Coda
- 38:32Rush? Now I did not get to faith faiths is in this event.
- 38:40Yeah, I still think Coda Rush is a good answer to a lot of
- 38:45the woe decks that are out there, like they well, code I has
- 38:49a lot of good answers to Wall, right. I mean, I'm pretty
- 38:53sure, and y'all can correct me if I'm wrong, because I haven't run
- 38:57the numbers on this one. And typical acy fashion. I ran no numbers.
- 39:00Doesn't Coda have the most amount of board wipes like fulles like not bounces,
- 39:08not all that like full like your stuff's gone now, Well, you
- 39:13got Champions Gateway, you got Champions Challenge one. Cowards the end of the
- 39:22board wipes. Cowards End is kind of in me? What's the doesn't cowards
- 39:27End is pretty pretty solid, well against a but against the Brobnar board.
- 39:30I don't know how it does because most of the Brobnar tokens that are being
- 39:34played fight, so they have damage on them. I mean otherwise you got
- 39:37saved the pack, which is save the pack, which isn't as great,
- 39:40but I mean still got a lot of stuff again with the hearty tokens out
- 39:45there, isn't it mm that because of Kerzap also has Gateway because that doesn't
- 39:53have Yeah, I think MM is maybe MM does. I don't know,
- 40:00because I thought you have almost every well, I thought the only house that
- 40:06didn't have a wipe of some sort, because doesn't Sanctum have a wipe of
- 40:10some sort? Spirit's way, I thank you they had one. Three fates.
- 40:19I have three fates. He did, like there's there's a bunch.
- 40:23Yeah, there's there's a lot in there, Like I think there's a lot
- 40:25more so, like I mean against a spammy deck. I mean, Gateway
- 40:30says Asta luego, you know, and I still think, you know,
- 40:36control the weak can be pretty pretty viable in an art con deck against because
- 40:42typically typically we've got the Fuddle and woe and that's that was one of the
- 40:47top cards in Control of the Week. Is is arguably a better fun Yeah.
- 40:54So yeah, I accepted the way double the funnel works makes it the
- 41:00better card, right, But now, but now you're blowing one, you
- 41:05gotta blow two cards to get the advantage, where I think just you have
- 41:07one card. Because but Fuddle does have an amber pip, because of course
- 41:13it does. Why wouldn't it, I don't Yeah, that's right. I
- 41:15don't understand what logic goes into putting amber pips on cards. Like the good
- 41:20cards all have amber pips and the bad cards have none. Why sun Cost
- 41:24doesn't. Yeah, like that one's too good sun Cost way too good to
- 41:29put an amber pip on. But Fuddled, Yeah, I mean, I'm
- 41:30surprised it doesn't have two, to be honest with you, But I think
- 41:37has one with two on it. I think it's the right way to play.
- 41:39It is the right way to play, but I think Code of faces
- 41:44real challenges against MM which I don't know. Maybe it's time for a quart
- 41:47of resurgence since we're I mean again, this is a small turnout. It's
- 41:52tough to figure out what you're going to be going up against. Honestly,
- 41:54at Worlds even Vegas, he Forge is good because there isn't four decks that
- 42:01you know you have to tech against unless you're playing Alliance. Then you know
- 42:07what's not here. By the way, it is a little more meta to
- 42:09find. No DT not a single DT deck, not a single you know,
- 42:16I didn't even look at that really not. It's the first one that's
- 42:20totally d DT free and it's a bigger event, which I found slightly interesting.
- 42:24Right, more players, better chance. Okay, now they moved into
- 42:29another crappy set called Vault Master. Yeah, did you guys hit any any
- 42:32decks that really surprised you? Did you guys play against something You're just like,
- 42:37I did not see that coming. I mean, sith you are that
- 42:40answer for many people. Yeah, that was my that's my answer. I
- 42:45did not expect Seth steck. Yeah, I tried to. After testing faith
- 42:52with some of my teammates, I was like, I'm going to keep this
- 42:55on the d L because, like Dan Hopper, Triple Shop is not something
- 43:00that people really new about, I guess, or or oh, this is
- 43:07gonna go crazy, Like they take a look at the archived card and they
- 43:10say, oh, that's cool, but they don't really grasp significance of it
- 43:15until they see it happening in front of them, especially with a triple enhanced
- 43:20friend. Yes, yeah, I don't. I don't think there was anything
- 43:28that really surprised me. I think a lot of the I think I played
- 43:34against a AO a deck that was actually really good. Outside of that,
- 43:44there was a Code of deck that made it to the top sixteen if you
- 43:49want to call it that, and everything else was kind of like I mean,
- 43:54just generally good stuff. I mean the ether Spider deck, right,
- 43:58it was the other Coda deck had an ether spider that I know was key
- 44:02to some of his victories. Yeah, m hm. And how about how
- 44:09about GLAMI anything interesting in your How many Lions games did you have to play?
- 44:16Uh? So I went some matches. I went three and one in
- 44:21Swiss and then played three more games for top eights. So and what what
- 44:29got you in Swiss? I I got herold, I got something very similar
- 44:38to what I would say, Uh, noble one was playing the subject krby
- 44:45Ultra Gravit shawnt me turned to H and they had transport a platform turned one
- 44:51so that was pretty brutal, and I got my Savage clash pitched out of
- 44:59my hand randomly once I drew it to answer his board mhm rough Dancy office
- 45:08M Yeah, that was a that was a rough one. But overall,
- 45:14I think I did expect that type of deck to be there. The one
- 45:17that I think was surprising and I unfortunately did not get to see it more
- 45:24closely, was the cool World's Collide Crassis Sourus deck with us some I think
- 45:36like four E guys that looked really cool with Imperial forage. I hadn't seen
- 45:43that type of combo come out in Alliance, so I thought that was cool
- 45:49to see and I was not expecting that one. So we all know our
- 45:54thoughts on two l O, what's what's your guys and rebouts thoughts on the
- 45:59two system. I really like it. I think it still needs a minor
- 46:07tweak with at the at the end of the Swiss rounds, if they just
- 46:14add in a playing game rather than cutting based on strength of schedule, yeah,
- 46:22I think I think it'd be perfect. I really love it. What's
- 46:25basically what we got for our cond this time? Right? Does the numbers
- 46:29worked out perfectly? Yeah? It worked out perfectly, even more perfectly for
- 46:32you right with the with the last round by the round by free riding.
- 46:42Yeah, Alliance was also a clean cut as well, and I would agree
- 46:45the two loo is much better. It's just that playing round. If someone's
- 46:50getting cut out on strength of schedule, and it seems like it's been the
- 46:58person that gets the b gets into top eight and the person that had to
- 47:02play and win gets out. So I mean that's tough because I actually I
- 47:08had that question because I got the previous round by to Sith and I'm like,
- 47:15how does this work? Because does this if if you get the buy
- 47:17and it means you're effectively eliminated because of strength of schedule, that is really
- 47:22bad. Yeah, it seems like they've been giving it to the person that
- 47:28gets the buy from the I think two from I know that happened in Roseville,
- 47:35and I think someone mentioned that it happened in Shanghai, and that's all
- 47:37done through play style. So I'm assuming that's the just what the software is
- 47:44doing and how it's calculating strength of schedule, because yeah, no fault of
- 47:47your own to get the buy and then you get cut. That is quite
- 47:51possibly the worst feeling. Yeah, because the by is one hundred percent random.
- 47:55It's just all the X ones. If you haven't had a by,
- 47:59you go into the pool. It's not buys are not done on strength of
- 48:01schedule for this. Yeah, so you didn't have we had no no,
- 48:07like real it was a clean cut for Dallas, right, Yes, Dallas
- 48:13was clean. Seattle was not. And it seemed like they put in the
- 48:15play game if I'm not if I remember correctly my memory and what it used
- 48:21to be boys, So they didn't play I don't think they did. No,
- 48:24there's no place so they did. No, there's never been a plan.
- 48:30That's that's the that's the improvement that they need to make. So it
- 48:34is a little I wasn't I was asking questions because I wasn't clear, and
- 48:38I still don't have a clear answer because they could have because it's what I
- 48:44what we'd seen. It just about every other event is like if it's four
- 48:46oh for the top four, three or four however main it is, then
- 48:52there was usually one more round and they would do the cut and somebody get
- 48:54whack on strength of schedule. And this event, had they done that after
- 49:01what the four ohs and our kind of went in, if we'd only played
- 49:05one more round, they would have had to eliminate three of us by strength
- 49:07of schedule, which I guess they could have done, and I'm happier that
- 49:14they didn't. And I don't know how it decides when there needs to be
- 49:20another round and when there doesn't. I think it's when with Dubai, if
- 49:23you play around and then you wouldn't have the right number of players, then
- 49:28it doesn't run the next round. Sounds like you have a question for the
- 49:32gg Q and A. Yeah, I'm just saying like, because we had
- 49:37exactly seven X and ones, if there had been five X and ones,
- 49:42it would have done a hard cut elimination at that point and two people would
- 49:46have just lost on strength of schedule. Yeah, I gotta imagine again,
- 49:52haven't been to any of this year kid's birthdays, you know, not being
- 49:59two losses. I'm still getting cut, Like, it doesn't seem to me,
- 50:02like, what what are we talking about? One playing round? Right?
- 50:06In reality? Yeah, it'll only ever be one more round. It
- 50:09would only ever be one more round. And you guys are finishing by what
- 50:13five six o'clock? Yeah, So I mean, does it really add another
- 50:17forty five minutes? Is that killing anybody? Now? I do think they
- 50:22should do it, you know, I imagine, you know, I get
- 50:25well, I guess I'm hoping that part of what's going into the equation is
- 50:30them just thinking ahead to well, what about when this game is huge and
- 50:36we got two hundred and fifty people there. I'm sorry, I'm keeping back
- 50:39my laughter. Yeah, yeah, we're not there yet, so maybe a
- 50:45cross that bridge when it comes right. That's that's an interesting thing because in
- 50:49the current thing, like I think they'll cap us at one twenty eight,
- 50:55I think you would see that if there was the event, they might cap
- 51:00the one event at one eight. I could see capping it if there was
- 51:07other I mean, I know, as going to play alliance with your not
- 51:13alliance seems bad. All right, let's finish out our questions here. All
- 51:19right, Uh, Corey, was there anything you knew that was going to
- 51:24be in the field that you were really hoping to dodge uh pink fraud.
- 51:35Yeah, I mean pretty much anything that had our heart are I don't think
- 51:39there was anything any specific deck which was so surprising too. With with well
- 51:46being such a big part of the field, you'd figure you see an auction
- 51:50offer too well, but losing one of them, I think, so I
- 51:55did. I have played your sand Hopper deck now to help other people practice
- 52:01and think through the things, and you know, losing one of them is
- 52:06going to slow you down, but it's not going to cripple it. But
- 52:08that's nothing like fraud, where the ian p brass gets to put them all
- 52:13back in the trash. I don't know, every equed on deck I open
- 52:16has like seven seven auction offs, Like that's my entire Equiedon house, just
- 52:21auction off. It's like, what is this? So I don't know.
- 52:25Maybe I mean all my decks sucks. So I'm gonna go sit in the
- 52:29corner. I'll see you guys, Like, I mean, I have a
- 52:32I have opened a few decks that have dealt like double auction off, but
- 52:37none of them are worth anything that are competitive. Yeah, it's it's like
- 52:42I have all these decks with good artifact control, but then they aren't actually
- 52:47competitive enough to play. So I think that's the balance and that's the trouble
- 52:52with if you get a competitive deck. And then also it also happened to
- 52:59just happening to have that hard are So let me ask you guys this right,
- 53:04we got Menagerie coming up, right, and that's hold on, let
- 53:07me make sure I got this right, because Menagerie is what we don't know,
- 53:13We don't we don't know. Yeah, that's right, but that's I
- 53:15forgot because they give some you know, a little wink wink, nudge,
- 53:20nudge hints. Right, you know, that's not the one I thought it
- 53:23was. What was the one that we're doing the late night sealed? Is
- 53:29it late? No? What's the one where we all thought it was a
- 53:32new format. That's not okay, I thought there was. I thought it
- 53:38was Menagerie and something. There was another thing that I was reading the celebration
- 53:45just before this, and I saw that it said there were player pairings to
- 53:51that. So I don't know what that means. But well, I mean
- 53:54I got some thoughts, and I think my one thought is better than the
- 53:59first thought because I really think Menagerie is going well. Either Late Night Sealed
- 54:05is going to be is I really honestly think we're gonna see Grim Reminders at
- 54:13KFC, just like we saw a Woe at KFC last year. KFC two
- 54:17Extra Crispy. So because it says required items, players will have everything needed
- 54:23to join Menagerie fund the Key Force Celebration goodie bag will include something to get
- 54:28you started that scene. I mean that's just either this is like KeyForge Commander,
- 54:37and the Late Night thing is where you're gonna play your you know,
- 54:40your Grim Reminders deck. Because I was thinking about this up late one night.
- 54:47What if Menagerie is just full on, full blown constructed Nope, and
- 54:57we'll shred it. Okay, that's fine. I'm just saying, like Menagerie
- 55:01like the name to me, I mean, a menagerie is a collection of
- 55:05things, right, it's extra creatures. It's you're getting your bonus creature,
- 55:09and then it's gonna be like uh if it's if it's not Commander, it's
- 55:15the other thing where you have a single creature type or some benefit for a
- 55:21creature type. That's okay, like Commander Primal. It's the other thing primal,
- 55:28I mean tribal is where you're like all your creature whatever, but like
- 55:31commander, like you have like a commander who runs the show for your deck
- 55:37and you get certain abilities to YadA YadA. But I don't know, Like
- 55:42the more I think about it, the more I'm like, man, are
- 55:44they just going to open it up and just be full constructed? Yeah,
- 55:47but you're still you're still off target here. We gotta finishinish look into our
- 55:52gas. Sorry I was looking. Yes, yes, you are add is
- 56:00out of control. Put me back in line. Yeah, okay, so
- 56:04just finishing off here. So you guys hit most of our questions. But
- 56:10how do you guys think your decks are gonna hold up? Do you plan
- 56:13on bringing them back around? Or is uh? Is the trick out of
- 56:17the bag and people are gonna have an easier time answering you next time.
- 56:23At the next event, I'll let go along. We go first, so
- 56:36polite, all right, So I don't think the tricks out of the bag.
- 56:45I don't know if I'll play it at the next event. I'm still
- 56:49deciding. I'm like I said, I probably won't know if I'm playing arc
- 56:53on our Alliance until the day of the next event for you, is I
- 57:00guess right, gorlmmy, you're going to Yeah? I mean you already got
- 57:04your invite. Don't get greedy. I'm just kidding, be greedy. Number
- 57:14one key Forge money Maker title is open still right, I think it might
- 57:17still be SITH because of our event. I don't know if anybody's Yeah,
- 57:22it's come to that. Devin and I have been going back and forth,
- 57:27and it's right now, and and Aviator's got to be close. Yes,
- 57:37he's got a three and a one thousand dollars win now right? No he
- 57:43with Devin now? Or did he not? Or is he not? Won
- 57:46a vault to her? He did? Oh yeah, he wants that.
- 57:51Okay, who won national Also he won Nationals. There's no money. Oh,
- 57:55there's no money on Nationals. That's right. That's funny thing. The
- 58:00winners at Nationals were the exact same people who won Seattle. Yeah, essentially
- 58:06essentially the same decks. M No, they were on the exact same decks,
- 58:13weren't they. I couldn't remember if Aviator had to change out a pod
- 58:17because borrow both? Yeah, come from you? Yeah? No, he
- 58:23got both at Nationals in Seattle. So yeah, I don't. I don't.
- 58:30I don't know what I'm gonna play. I don't think it's run its
- 58:32course. It's all about matchups and key forge. So I could have very
- 58:37well ran into a bad matchup and the deck could have done terribly. But
- 58:43I think I ran into get enough matchups or favorable matchups that I was able
- 58:49to run run its course and take the win. So I might play our
- 58:55Coon in Vegas, or I might play Alliance. I don't know yet,
- 59:00but now you got to have your Alliance deck ready for Worlds. Yeah,
- 59:02that's uh, that's I'll plan that for after Vegas. That's right. October
- 59:08is going to be a big work month for getting ready, not for us
- 59:14schlubs who don't got invites. I'm gonna kick my feet up, all right.
- 59:17How about you, Sith, How are you? How are you feeling
- 59:21you? I mean I feel yeah, I feel like the cat is out
- 59:25of the bag. You guys all know about it now. I'm I'm well
- 59:30aware that it's being tested, like you mentioned, So I don't. I
- 59:37don't know if I will bring faith or not. It's certainly in consideration,
- 59:42just because it's the first Woe Deeck to win a VT, and I think
- 59:46it's still very viable, and especially if you look at the decks that have
- 59:53qualified, not that people will won them, will necessarily bring them, but
- 59:59there's very little are in those decks. So uh, it's it's definitely in
- 1:00:05consideration, but I'm not sure if I will bring it to worlds or not.
- 1:00:12All right. And then the last question I got for you guys is,
- 1:00:15uh, who's gonna win ARC on world I Mean, I feel like
- 1:00:20I have to say me, but there you go, do it. You
- 1:00:22don't have to if you've known. Okay, So, like saying a name
- 1:00:29on this show about who's gonna win is like the Madden curse, right,
- 1:00:34Like it's just not gonna happen unless your name. Well, well then I've
- 1:00:38got to say anybody but you, yeah, doctor, Like he's not even
- 1:00:46qualified yet, all right, And who's gonna win? Uh? What are
- 1:00:54we thinking? For alliance? I got my money at Jane Power, honestly,
- 1:01:07so that seems like he's hungry. Said do we do we start the
- 1:01:13pool? We start? Do we start over? We degenerate gamblers? I
- 1:01:19mean, their aviator is definitely putting in the work. Sydney is putting in
- 1:01:23the work. There's a Sydney's qualified for Worlds. Right, Sydney's qualified.
- 1:01:30I just I don't know something. Nope, she got fourth at Nationals.
- 1:01:42Never mind not Yeah, she's got fourth twice, right Rooseville and Nationals.
- 1:01:46Yep, and at least she can find fourth. I can't even find that.
- 1:01:53I do have a question for you guys, actually, with both you
- 1:01:59Drews and you doctor Sheep making top eight at Dallas, what were your guys's
- 1:02:05thoughts before we went into day two and with the other decks that were in
- 1:02:10the top eight. Well, I definitely So for those that don't know,
- 1:02:15Sith and I matched up in the top eight first round, top eight,
- 1:02:21so you know, I definitely it was sort of like I said, right,
- 1:02:24I saw the sand hoppers, I saw the ability to play all these
- 1:02:30sorts of cards out out of house. I'm like, Okay, he's just
- 1:02:34gonna keep playing equit on and he's gonna hit me with the tall minded.
- 1:02:40He's gonna, you know, he's just gonna spam the board and eventually,
- 1:02:45you know, you know, reap a ton with the Mollas schollar. He's
- 1:02:49gonna like bubbles my key stuff like. So that's I was most worried about
- 1:02:54all that, and I knew I didn't have artifact control, so I was
- 1:02:59like, well, I could probably I could try to just get there faster
- 1:03:02and uh, and there's a couple of key h C cards that I have,
- 1:03:09so I was like, okay, Like it's a different, weird deck,
- 1:03:13but I thought I I thought I had a decent chance. I mean
- 1:03:19you, I mean you were there right, so you saw me. H.
- 1:03:22I very quickly got kind of flustered because I token eyed some stuff I
- 1:03:25wanted and kind of didn't know what to do about it. And and you
- 1:03:34you steamrolled me once you started the steward going, and I didn't fully appreciate
- 1:03:39the steward just reading the backlist. Yeah, And I think when I was
- 1:03:45looking at our matchup, I was I felt like, whoever got the beer
- 1:03:51board out faster was going to win that match. And I think I was
- 1:03:53just fortunate that I was able to do that before you. So obviously you
- 1:04:00have more board wipes than I do with the kaboom and the mass buyout,
- 1:04:06but if I get the board out first, then that kind of nullifies mass
- 1:04:11buyout, I think, and then the kaboom also if I have a Mars
- 1:04:16board at all. Then the kaboom also is mitigated a little bit by that
- 1:04:20as well. So yeah, when I tokenized the kaboom when I really needed
- 1:04:28it, at that point, I knew it. I knew it was over.
- 1:04:30I was like, oh, that was just trying to figure something out
- 1:04:33at that point. So it's a good deck or you know, interesting question.
- 1:04:39It's still real good to bring in that way. I think you're asking
- 1:04:41the right questions, but definitely surprised me. I'm imagining it surprised other folks
- 1:04:48as well that you played and all the way to the top. All right,
- 1:04:56I didn't hit anything that out of the world on the play through.
- 1:05:04Anytime fraud is playing woe, it's it's gotten it not not beat itself.
- 1:05:12And then it's got too, you know, and then you're just hoping your
- 1:05:16opponent doesn't do what Devin did to me, which is unlike by turn three
- 1:05:20have five of the same house on the board and you're just going, ah,
- 1:05:24this is this is gonna be rough. So yeah, Devin beat me
- 1:05:29three to two pretty tight and top eight, and then we played once more
- 1:05:32and you know, it just went all Fraud's direction, and that's just how
- 1:05:36those matches go at this point. And then I also got I got paired
- 1:05:44up against the second place deck, which I had previously lost too at gen
- 1:05:48Con. That's a tough matchup. Couldn't get that one done. And then
- 1:05:54I also hit Xander for the win on Donovan, which is or routine ops,
- 1:06:00which can just outsteal fraud. And yeah, it's another code of rush
- 1:06:03deck. But I don't think I've ever seen that deck play so poorly.
- 1:06:08It did nothing. It just him like, got it self lost in two
- 1:06:13two two hands that it would not correct itself from. So I got a
- 1:06:17fairly easily win there was. Yeah, I was tough sitting down and my
- 1:06:26very first game was against Psycho, which would ended up being the second place
- 1:06:30deck. Took the first loss immediately, very glad we're not playing. I
- 1:06:35could have been the system too, l O. I just had to grind
- 1:06:41at that point, but I was. I was able to get it done.
- 1:06:45But yeah, just lots of good decks out there. All right,
- 1:06:54it's time for the next most important question. Are you guys ready? I
- 1:06:57needed to focus on this one too. The spector Ridos No, although we
- 1:07:02do need a Dorito Ana takless bell and a Girl Scout sponsorship. I'll get
- 1:07:08on that. No. Obviously, the show does a lot about wrestling.
- 1:07:16Who's your favorite wrestler of all time? I don't know a lot of wrestlers,
- 1:07:25so I'm just gonna say the Rock. It's a perfectly acceptable answer.
- 1:07:30Gorlmy's huge into wrestling. Back in the day. I did really enjoy it,
- 1:07:38probably say the Undertaker. How far back in the day are you?
- 1:07:45I don't know what we're talking about? What's far? Yeah? Most?
- 1:07:50I mean most likely like when Raw and SmackDown we're still a thing and there's
- 1:07:56that segregation. I guess, well there's there's still a thing and there's still
- 1:08:00okay, well what I'm bite me we're talking about we're talking men and tights,
- 1:08:08sir, and you will stay here and listen to it. Yeah,
- 1:08:12I mean I grew up with one of those like when whole Cogan and what's
- 1:08:16the guy with the money? Uh million dollars man? Yeah. I used
- 1:08:23to have like little pillows of them as like did you have what were those
- 1:08:28things called? The I forget what they're called. It was just like they
- 1:08:30look like little uh I don't know, I forget now I gotta look at
- 1:08:36exactly what you're talking about, and exactly what you're talking about here. It
- 1:08:41is wrestle bodies. I guess, I guess so yeah, And then like
- 1:08:45you, you'd like hit them and they'd talk. I don't know about talking,
- 1:08:51but I would. I'd slept with them every day. Fair enough,
- 1:08:59Well, guys, we want to thank you for coming on again once more.
- 1:09:02We appreciate all the time we took out of your days, so appreciate
- 1:09:05you coming on. Thank you guys very much again. Congratulations Gorlami and Sith
