  Everybody? I am a little one, the only the wh okay I

  he joined here by my fellow cast of misfits. We got thigs ze what's
• 0:28
  up? Ze? Hey? Hey another weekend keyboards land. We got to
• 0:32
  sell now. I don't know Wolforge has a negative connotation to it, but
• 0:37
  we got the Choke Show, drafts car It's gone, guys, and the
• 0:43
  Ewak Gist of Ewok's Ewak Junior. Hello KeyForge community. So again, um,
• 0:50
  we're getting into that buckets of stuff to do territory, right, guys?
• 0:54
  I mean we are literally what two weeks away? Am I correct?
• 0:58
  Or? June right? June ninth? Often not correct? June ninth is
• 1:03
  what? That's the start of the Vault Tours. No, that's July seventh.
• 1:10
  July seventh. Sorry, That's why I was going with. You were
• 1:14
  probably not right, and you're probably right. You were about to say,
• 1:18
  because ghosts Galaxy just decides that they're always gonna scud. Never mind, it's
• 1:22
  whatever, I'm over it. We actually don't know when the vaults are.
• 1:25
  We have theoretical dates like, well, it's like a moving target. Well
• 1:29
  I said June because guys chase the flight to Dallas. Wasn't there one that
• 1:34
  was a like originally, like the original article said June, it was July
• 1:38
  and then June and then August. Yes, there's about the original like the
• 1:44
  original, the very first one, and they're like, oh, we actually
• 1:48
  meant July not June. Oh no, no, it's never a vault that
• 1:53
  had a June date. No, no, no, it didn't have it
• 1:56
  for very long. It was like all of sixteen seconds. And then they
• 1:59
  fixed the article. Uh I don't remember. Oh yeah you remember. They're
• 2:06
  like, oh yeah, no, it's not supposed to be this. And
• 2:07
  then they was like June eighteenth, and I like message the media like bro,
• 2:10
  this is a wind that's a Wednesday, and they're like oh yeah,
• 2:17
  yeah, I remember it being Yeah, how many people were making it to
• 2:21
  Minnesota on a Wednesday? Yeah it was. I think it was June twenty
• 2:23
  first, because that is that weekend right, Yes, it was June twenty
• 2:29
  first originally, Yeah, and that that is a Wednesday, so um,
• 2:34
  either way, that's that's probably where my confusion came in. But we got
• 2:38
  volturs coming up, so we're gonna get into that. But first a little
• 2:43
  bit of housekeeping. We gotta say hello to our newest team member, Southerly
• 2:46
  Elf. Welcome to the team, u Z. Do you want to explain
• 2:50
  what Suturday is doing or do you want to keep that shrouded in mystery for
• 2:53
  enough? Um? Sure, Southerly is coming on as our lead, our
• 3:00
  corner developer, I guess is the best word for it. We had a
• 3:05
  developer real life developing, so we brought on somebody new. Um. He
• 3:13
  is tweaking and playing with some data that I'm giving him for the Z score,
• 3:17
  and if our Patreon numbers continue to grow, we are going to invest
• 3:22
  that in a server and maybe have it more accessible in the future so that
• 3:27
  we can actually look at things like multiple card interactions, like if you have
• 3:31
  more than let's say one to control the week, or more than one eddie,
• 3:36
  or more than one in furnace, because we know we see that thing
• 3:38
  everywhere. How that affects the z score and possibly provide the community with an
• 3:45
  additional tool moving forward. If you want to be part of that growth,
• 3:50
  Well, kie, how do they become part of that of the ground floor
• 3:52
  right now? Because I'm in that channel, I'm doing tons of stuff.
• 3:54
  But how do they join the channel? Well, you can go to patreon
• 3:58
  dot com forward slash our cons corner. That'll get you there and you can
• 4:00
  sign up. We have a one dollar, a five dollars, and a
• 4:03
  ten dollar tier at the current time. One dollar gets in and we'll see
• 4:08
  where that goes kind of from there. Um, we haven't really kind of
• 4:12
  discussed what we're gonna do with the five and ten dollar tiers, but we
• 4:15
  have some ideas, so that'll roll out as we're able to roll things out.
• 4:20
  Isn't that like that show? Well, yeah, for a dollar you
• 4:24
  get add free Yeah, but right now for the for the one dollar,
• 4:28
  you do get access to the z score template that we recently redesigned, and
• 4:32
  you can be a part of the process when we I ask for feedback for
• 4:36
  like different scores, um, and I act on that feedback rather immediately.
• 4:42
  Um, and there in chat and things change. Says we don't live thing
• 4:47
  where we went through I don't know how many cards, A bucket of them,
• 4:53
  yes, a literal Yeah, bucket seems like a good number because that's
• 4:56
  not a real one. So yeah, we went through a bunch of them,
• 5:00
  I know, Southerly with the there's a couple of people in there.
• 5:01
  I don't remember who it all was that. We're just kind of like,
• 5:03
  oh what about this? And yeah, second was there. Jam and Joe
• 5:09
  have added value to the throughout the whole process. Some of the recent additions
• 5:15
  to the Patreon have come in and gave a list of different things that they
• 5:18
  wanted to look at. Out of those, I think I did look at
• 5:21
  one and change one that day. Um way, I think I had faust
• 5:26
  slightly off from what I think the core value, which is what the system
• 5:30
  is based on, just overall core value of cards in the meta. And
• 5:34
  we made some changes and little by little it gets I think a little better
• 5:39
  each day, and people are starting to use it. For woe because right
• 5:43
  now you don't have anything else we got you. But this just then just
• 5:54
  came right across my ask desk. Jam still grouchy. It's because he lives
• 5:58
  in Canada. Case you were all wondering. That's why. That's why,
• 6:01
  I mean, I mean, we can solve his problems. He's he is
• 6:04
  really upset that, Like, I don't think he's heard anything yet from any
• 6:09
  of his stuff. I don't. I don't know what Jam bought. I
• 6:12
  think he bought one of the higher tiers too. Um. But I mean,
• 6:15
  obviously it's kind of funny because I think Jam's not far away from Minnesota,
• 6:19
  and I do find it a little humorous that Z is getting his stuff
• 6:25
  before Jam. And it's probably just strictly because he lives in Canada. We
• 6:30
  already knew what though, Like they're not going to ship anything internationally until they
• 6:33
  go through their US process, right like, well, but Canada also has
• 6:40
  another issue that we hear. Yeah, for the most part, well,
• 6:44
  you say, you say Canada, but frankly they're very no. If you
• 6:48
  let me, there is a very large French contingent there and so um in
• 6:56
  Quebec. Correct, you're gonna have to have the translation and all of the
• 7:00
  translated decks are slowing up, um and so that could potentially be holding up
• 7:05
  some of our friends who are in Canada. Again, hypothesis we get,
• 7:11
  we don't know, but the end result is, um, it is going
• 7:15
  to be grouped after is how it looks. And I mean in the end,
• 7:19
  it's perfectly reasonable that they will ship country by country because like when you're
• 7:26
  shipping through customs and all that, you're going to send it all to one
• 7:29
  place together. So they're gonna get all the US the fout. Then they're
• 7:33
  get the next country and the next country in the next three whichever your countries.
• 7:38
  Last. Man, you're looking for a very nice Christmas present, like
• 7:43
  all, maybe they'll figure out how to you know, ship the right stuff
• 7:47
  the right person by that point. Now let's asking a little bit too.
• 7:51
  We'll get into that in a little bit. Um, let's go into a
• 7:56
  br stuff. What's going on with the Ancient Bear Republic? Their? Yeah,
• 8:01
  So we are on the cusp of the playoffs and in the last week
• 8:05
  before the playoffs, and it is really anybody, almost anybody's game to get
• 8:15
  in. At this point, We've got ten teams in the league, and
• 8:18
  I would say nine of them are mathematically possible to get in. How's your
• 8:28
  I think Pharaoh is in right, even though they show that their fifth like
• 8:33
  they're gonna win every game this week. Oh, because they're playing unremarkables.
• 8:35
  Yeah, yeah, Like I don't know how that happened, but like,
• 8:39
  I don't know. I thought they had fixed this a couple of seasons ago,
• 8:43
  but like based on how they did this round, the fixes that they
• 8:46
  talked about putting in bloomting before, which is why like the first three to
• 8:52
  four weeks are supposed to be random and then it's supposed to go to like
• 8:54
  some kind of Swiss thing. Literally that did not happen this week. Oh,
• 9:01
  I don't know, but yeah, I think they're like I think there's
• 9:05
  actually just my team and your team playing for four really that could be,
• 9:11
  that could be. So, uh, my team is woe is me?
• 9:15
  Right now, we're tied for third um with us, which we yeah,
• 9:20
  they're literally tied. Yeah yeah, so we're we're duking it out. But
• 9:26
  there are teams that are not that far behind, right, and they get
• 9:30
  two extra points if they get a W, so they could they could definitely
• 9:33
  be in the hunt as well. Um, Hobo Baggins would have to win
• 9:37
  quite a few games. Who are they matched up against? We're talking like
• 9:43
  every time they win a game, Like all we're doing is eliminating each other,
• 9:46
  ycause like every time they win, there's a less likely chance that we
• 9:50
  win. And even if they do barely beat us, they're not gonna make
• 9:52
  it either. Um so we're just self eliminating it over here. Um so
• 9:58
  I think you gotta go shot right? Yeah? Yeah, liked who are
• 10:03
  you paired with? What was me? Is against h other eliminated team?
• 10:11
  Like, yeah, that's what I'm talking about, Like you, it's it's
• 10:15
  I think it's gonna be you and Pharaoh. Like you're playing against teams and
• 10:18
  have nothing to play for. I mean, people still gonna try to win
• 10:22
  their games for you. You can go watch the little game. You can
• 10:26
  comment on that. I don't know about e Walks that does. I don't
• 10:31
  know how hard he's playing, but I mean they need to play harder all
• 10:35
  season. I have no diagment comments, JR. I love my team.
• 10:50
  I mean they have nineteen points. There's a team that's eleven points in one
• 10:52
  week. I mean weirder, weirder things happened, I guess. So,
• 11:03
  so playoffs coming up. If you're in ABR, obviously get ready for that.
• 11:09
  They have a fantasy league too. Don't quite understand stop checking that.
• 11:13
  I have no idea where I'm at on that. Yeah, there's a fantasy
• 11:16
  I'm not in the screenshot of the top players. So yeah, either way,
• 11:24
  moving forward to the game Center releasing some new key Forge stuff onto their
• 11:31
  website, and I actually find some of the stuff. I'm not sure how
• 11:33
  I feel about some of the stuff. So, like there's the the ugly
• 11:37
  art, ugly sweater sleeves that you could buy Sorian came out. They have
• 11:45
  the Prime dexboxes are available. The metal keys you can buy for fifteen dollars.
• 11:52
  I don't know what ship will cost, but those are on there.
• 11:56
  Proof of concept Vault Warrior was a thing that they actually came up up with
• 12:00
  because the sleeves are for sale for six dollars, so they actually maybe there's
• 12:07
  a lot six bucks. I mean it is a lot. All of them
• 12:09
  are six or seven dollars. And if they're the same quality the old ones
• 12:13
  were, like they're not great. I mean, I don't know if any
• 12:16
  of y'all bought lot sleeves. Like they're hard plastic, they're flat, Matt,
• 12:22
  They're like they like cut your hands when you shuffle, Like they're that
• 12:24
  hard. They're like if you go to do the side shuffle, like your
• 12:28
  hands on the bottom right like it's jamming in your hand, will like leave
• 12:31
  the little like hard marks on your skin. It is not to be comfortable
• 12:35
  shovel. Did we ever see Star Alliance art sleeves? Yeah, there was
• 12:41
  a store the very last store kit that they made, which some stores got,
• 12:46
  but there was never gameplay during that window. Um had I think it's
• 12:52
  Val Jericho was either crashing Valjerico. I can't remember who the guy is with
• 12:58
  the glowing head with the sword and operation officer Yhi right, yeah, yeah,
• 13:03
  hi, yeah, yeah. That we've have seen, like I know
• 13:07
  we've that Dan had that. My store had that. Like very few people
• 13:11
  got to see that, but like the stores that stayed active the longest did
• 13:16
  end up with some of that. Um a few notable pieces on here,
• 13:20
  so those kind of caught my eye. Um, the twenty twenty uh Vault
• 13:26
  key Forage Deck Box twenty twenty one is available. They're just I don't know
• 13:31
  what this one was. For a couple of different arts on there. They
• 13:33
  have the teal vault was so the I'm a little confused. So they got
• 13:37
  the picture for the game genic deck book. Um that's up there like in
• 13:43
  a box, and then they have like the Vault Warrior one, but it's
• 13:46
  the same teal color. UM. I don't know if it's if you get
• 13:50
  to choose maybe choose your color when you buy that first one or not.
• 13:54
  Um. The full art sleeves which I think these were first scoring to go
• 13:58
  for store kits for sank them are available on there. Those are also seven
• 14:03
  bucks. I'm trying to see, like what else is on here? Obviously
• 14:07
  they have more of the aries deck boxes. Those are available. Looks like
• 14:13
  they're at least coming out with um new mats for each faction. Those are
• 14:20
  gonna be They're sold out now, but I've never seen them before, so
• 14:24
  I'm assuming eventually they're gonna be available and you can get a gruin thirty bucks.
• 14:28
  You can get a fuzzy Gruin. Yeah, that's it. I'm bad.
• 14:33
  And then not only that, if you also never if you wanted to
• 14:37
  grow in. If you missed out on the game, found dust Runner,
• 14:41
  niffl Ape and a Security Officer Moon are available. The vinyl figures twenty twenty
• 14:48
  two bucks apiece. You can get all three of them for like sixty bucks.
• 14:54
  I thought they said that those weren't going to be available to anybody else,
• 14:58
  like you could only get those items in that package. Was I wrong
• 15:01
  in that? Uh? I don't feel like that's no. I don't feel
• 15:09
  like that's what I was seeing. I felt like that they said there was
• 15:13
  some items in the game found other than the Savior, the Savior decks,
• 15:18
  it was just the Savior dex. I said, we're never We're never going
• 15:20
  to be available anywhere else. I don't feel like that's right. I thought,
• 15:24
  Yeah, I'm not even sure if you use language that's strong, like
• 15:28
  for all the you know, because everything about some things I've said, I
• 15:35
  don't think they don't feel like they um mix that up where where they said
• 15:41
  they weren't and that they are. I don't think they did. I never
• 15:45
  had that impression. I kind of thought I did. But either way,
• 15:48
  everything that was in the game found kits are now available for sale. You
• 15:54
  can go buy them right now if you're so desired. Oh, they definitely
• 15:58
  did not say that that was not going to be it now because they were
• 16:00
  given them to the stores that ran no pete like my store got one your
• 16:04
  star gutting the little figures? Yeah, oh really I didn't. Other than
• 16:11
  the dust Runner, I don't I think it was just I think it was
• 16:17
  just the dust Runner. Well, I hadn't seen anything else out. Um
• 16:23
  we got uh, definitely, yes, but that was sent in specifically from
• 16:30
  GIG in their box support at that time. I don't I'm just saying for
• 16:36
  me, I hadn't seen it in any of the kits that were available.
• 16:38
  Dust Runner was that was one of the last kits you actually did see the
• 16:44
  Yeah, yeah, but they did send them out and those like support kids
• 16:48
  that they're direct. Yeah, but that was once GIG took over, not
• 16:51
  from f G right, But yeah, No, they never said that that
• 16:55
  that stuff would be available. I think I'm with drafts, Like I don't
• 16:57
  remember where where I read it or saw it, but I was under the
• 17:02
  impression that the Savior decks would never be done again. Not sure, I
• 17:07
  don't have a source for that, but I I do. I am under
• 17:10
  that impression. But hey, I wasn't still under depression. We're supposed to
• 17:12
  get this stuff back continual. Yow. Never never believe what the CEO of
• 17:18
  a company tells you. That's I never believe it. Also, if you're
• 17:23
  really really into the adventures, um, all three adventures have all the fall
• 17:29
  of House gorming guys just still says it's sold out. I'm sure it's just
• 17:32
  not available yet, but m if you want the full playbat, those are
• 17:36
  available. I'm assuming I've never seen these before either, so maybe some other
• 17:41
  people have. Maybe they have always existed, but both Abystal Conspiracy and Rise
• 17:47
  of the Kiak can now have their own nice play mats that you can I
• 17:51
  should be getting that. I will send pictures nice I'm interested. Were those
• 17:56
  at um? Were those at celebration? I want to say they probably were,
• 18:02
  But I never made it over in that direction. That room was a
• 18:06
  little uh, I didn't make in that direction. So drafts car, Yes,
• 18:14
  sir, I'm heard, and we're on a street. Little Birdie told
• 18:18
  me that your game found is in. Yeah, so excited. Got my
• 18:23
  stuff and I got all my stuff and it's your stuff. It's not somebody
• 18:27
  else, it's my stuff. The names of all the mats, the names
• 18:32
  of the decks, everything is exactly what what I was supposed to get,
• 18:37
  and all my stuff was there. So very excited. Um, so I've
• 18:42
  just seen pictures so far. Are the mats like really that super sharp color?
• 18:47
  Does that come out in person? Even better? Yeah? They're they're
• 18:51
  good. Like the so the I think the the orange one is a little
• 18:55
  dull, but like the orange cards are a little dull, but the red
• 18:57
  really pops. Yeah, I feel like in the blue and they both like
• 19:03
  look really like a deep vibrant color. Um. That is kind of cool,
• 19:07
  like to see like a Matt have that kind of like again, like
• 19:11
  what you just said, like a lot of the archons look kind of washed
• 19:12
  out and that's intent, right, Like that makes sense for the way the
• 19:17
  cards are. Um. So they definitely did like some kind of recoloring.
• 19:19
  So that sounds like gonna match exactly your color of your ARCon. But it
• 19:25
  looks better I think from the pictures. Yeah, it looks really nice.
• 19:29
  And I'm happy with the names of the decks. I uh. As soon
• 19:36
  as I cracked open the very first Matt, I immediately had to post yeah
• 19:41
  and post pictures because it was my my x ray sucks deck and and it
• 19:51
  looks awesome. And but why don't you go ahead and give us, Oh
• 19:53
  there go, whyn't you got to give us the name of that? Yeah,
• 19:56
  the name is Master x Ray Sucks. It's just maybe laugh so hard
• 20:06
  and uh uh so that you know of course a posting it all over the
• 20:11
  forums here and see and adding x ray and you know, so he sees
• 20:15
  it and immediately changes his name on the forum from x ray creator to Master
• 20:19
  x Ray of course maybe laugh, maybe laugh even more? How much do
• 20:25
  you? Well, No, it's it's not for sale becoming sandwiches. For
• 20:30
  What I'm going to do is I'm going to, you know, in play
• 20:34
  a game against x ray. Right, I'm gonna use my X ray Sucks
• 20:38
  Matt. He's gonna play fraud and then I'm gonna I'm gonna beat him.
• 20:42
  That's all. Is that how it works? Yeah, there's going to be
• 20:45
  an X ray Sucks round robin event. Every deck can attend, and the
• 20:52
  winner of said event will be the Master of x ray Suck. But I
• 20:56
  don't know x ray sex championn got to think of an for this because there
• 21:00
  just one of it we've run that. We'll not have a real prize it
• 21:03
  would you will just be like the King of X ray Sucks, whatever we
• 21:07
  call that. I feel like I need to have a tiny trophy three D
• 21:10
  printed somehow somewhere x ray Sucks trophy trophy. Oh yep, it's not gonna
• 21:18
  be anything. Crazy, but you know, specialist on that we have on
• 21:25
  us. I'm pretty wasn't for me. The other half a hookie, Yeah
• 21:32
  yeah that was yeah, yeah, yeah, just doing mom things. So
• 21:38
  but we have seen some problems with uh stuff and things, so, um,
• 21:45
  you and your team have probably Yeah. I was joking with someone earlier
• 21:52
  on my team and they're like, there's been a lot of complaints. I
• 21:55
  was like, and I defended gg here. I was like, I don't
• 21:57
  really know what you mean by a lot. We've seen. We know one
• 22:02
  because one had just happened on team, and then there's like two on Facebook.
• 22:04
  So that's like three out of a thousand, So yeah, two to
• 22:07
  three percent errors probably bad. But then someone came back. It was like
• 22:12
  like Reddit game back. It's like, well, there's a bunch more and
• 22:15
  Reddit and then immediately more stuff proceeded to follow. So I hope things are
• 22:19
  getting ironed out. But the stuff that we know about just on our team
• 22:23
  of like eight US people or ten, I don't know how many we have.
• 22:26
  Now we have a whole army of SaaS people over there. But anyway,
• 22:30
  man, one of them got a breaker pledge you walk back. Is
• 22:37
  that the second to the top. Yeah, so our second from the top.
• 22:42
  If we're looking at it, you have well they added in a couple
• 22:47
  others, but you have Reaper of Amber that was one fifty. You have
• 22:49
  the Seeker of Decks, that's what was added for sixty five. Hunter of
• 22:52
  Shards was seventy five. So and then you go to the breaker of Chain
• 23:00
  just that four twenty intern keys. So we had break the breaker of change
• 23:04
  ledge. And because people are starting to get those now this week for the
• 23:07
  first time that I was aware of three mats. Three matsuy fuzzy gruin.
• 23:15
  We should have the Officer Moon and then you should have the other like actual
• 23:21
  decks and the general will Um House mats that are also part of it.
• 23:29
  So I think he got everything he was supposed to do get except instead of
• 23:33
  getting three displays, he only got one. So we got twelve out of
• 23:36
  the thirty six displays when it comes to that, and I he is currently
• 23:41
  working through customer service as we speak UM for that breaker pledge. Another person
• 23:48
  on our team got a Reaper delivered today UM, and they got the wrong
• 23:56
  mat um to go along with their custom deck day. And on top of
• 24:02
  that, this is the first time I actually saw this. I saw a
• 24:03
  picture everyone else that I had seen, like their pictures, the image was
• 24:07
  cleaning, like, you know, the stuff in the box was clean and
• 24:10
  orderly whatever. This one would definitely look like it had been tossed around a
• 24:12
  lot. Some of the stuff was like the token box, like it was
• 24:18
  a I don't know what token it was, but the token box was torn
• 24:22
  and the actual tokens were all over it, and just a lot of the
• 24:26
  stuff was bent up. So that's the stuff that I know of coming in
• 24:32
  was there. But then like my own situation, it's just I've got really
• 24:37
  weird notified. So, like I guess it was Monday or Tuesday when I
• 24:41
  got the two notifications for my wife and my son's pledge. Both said like
• 24:45
  a waiting label, just like everyone else's had, and then the next day
• 24:48
  they're supposed to be picked up by USPS. One of them was picked up
• 24:52
  and now it's going to be delivered tomorrow, and the other one still says
• 24:57
  it's waiting to be picked up by USPS, like they're coming to the same
• 25:03
  address. I feel like at some point they were literally sitting next to each
• 25:07
  other, because like the emails were minutes apart, so I have no idea
• 25:11
  what's going on with that. But further to confuse the whole situation, my
• 25:15
  own pledge I got an email for Wednesday and it's going to be delivered next
• 25:19
  week. So I've got one coming next week by UPS, one coming by
• 25:26
  USPS, and one just sitting somewhere supposed to have been picked up by USPS
• 25:30
  at some point in the past. So I don't really know what the hell
• 25:37
  is going on over there, but consistency is not what's going on. And
• 25:42
  then JR, what is your predicament? M Well, so I have both
• 25:48
  positive and some negative to be one hundred percent Honestum, what we're looking at
• 25:55
  is so far, I had one secret tax that was just the standard six
• 25:57
  tax that was delivered on or one of my girl's names. Actually, that
• 26:02
  was the Christmas present that was there. And then my beautiful wife had ordered
• 26:06
  two Seeker of decks and that both of those came, so I ended up
• 26:11
  having a full box plus six extra. I'm still waiting on my note my
• 26:15
  Breaker of Chains that has not been delivered, so that's the large order.
• 26:19
  I also haven't gotten any notification. But what was odd was opening up the
• 26:23
  Seeker of decks, both Sheep and I when we were playing. Now this
• 26:27
  wasn't this past Tuesday, but it was the previous Tuesday, we noticed that
• 26:33
  on a number of the decks the backs were really, really really cut very
• 26:38
  poorly. I know that there was a little bit of talk and kind of
• 26:41
  some discussion on different discord in regards to this. It is. It didn't
• 26:47
  happen in all of the decks that I had, but there were a number
• 26:51
  of decks and it was visibly like really beaten up. The front of the
• 26:56
  cards are perfectly fine, you can see. It's like the cutout that they're
• 26:59
  using is fine on one side, but how they're pressing the back is just
• 27:04
  all chewed up already, like someone had been playing with these cards for months
• 27:10
  on end, and that wasn't the case. They were just brought out of
• 27:11
  the decks. I think that hopefully they can go ahead and sharpen that cutting
• 27:18
  piece that is being used to cut out the decks. I think that's what
• 27:21
  the problem was. But it was a little disappointing to see when you know
• 27:23
  you've spent some money, you're waiting for it, you're anticipating it, and
• 27:27
  it wasn't the quality that I had necessarily anticipated from previous decks that I had
• 27:34
  gotten. Again, it wasn't on everything, but there were quite a few
• 27:37
  decks that did stand out as just being really poorly like not off kilter,
• 27:42
  but just poorly punched and cut out. I don't know if you guys ever
• 27:48
  like have board games and you press like from the back of the punch tab
• 27:52
  and it kind of just extends. Yeah, that's almost what was happening,
• 27:56
  but on cards stock, which I hadn't necessarily seen with other games. I've
• 28:00
  never seen that with a card game like that, but I do know what
• 28:04
  happens all the time. Yeah, I've not had this issue, Like all
• 28:10
  my decks have been fine, but I have seen that. I saw a
• 28:12
  post on Reddit. Uh if somebody was showing it, so I know,
• 28:15
  I know what you're talking about. Like it Like, I still it looks
• 28:18
  still playable, right, but it's um correct. I'm gonna put them in
• 28:22
  sleeves, so it's not the end of the world. And I guess,
• 28:25
  you know, I could be up in Canada where I'm not going to get
• 28:26
  decks, or in many other countries where they haven't gotten X yet. So
• 28:30
  it definitely seems like a first world problem in my complaint, but it would
• 28:34
  be very different. It's prostratingly different style of game for sure, though,
• 28:38
  Like in the fab world, that would be devastating because like people care about
• 28:44
  the card quality, Like in when any of us go to buy a top
• 28:48
  deck, no one ever asked like is it white rimmed or whatever? Like,
• 28:52
  no one cares um. So it is a little bit different of a
• 28:57
  game if it were some some other games will do way more an I mean,
• 29:02
  I don't know about you. I'm going to send all my cards to
• 29:06
  to back it and get them graded. I'm just gonna actually I'm gonna play
• 29:07
  with them in the in the plastic. I'm super happy. That's not I
• 29:12
  think in our game. I am really bad at keeping them like bad stuff.
• 29:15
  Well I will. I will give some credit to Michael Hurley. I
• 29:18
  know he had reached out to one of the first people on Discord that had
• 29:22
  posted that issue, and so definitely reach out to Gigi. I think that
• 29:27
  they have been very responsible about trying to fix anything that people aren't super happy
• 29:33
  about. So I do give them credit because you know that's it's already shipped
• 29:37
  out, it's gone. Quality control wasn't necessarily as high on those individual decks,
• 29:44
  but if they're able to respond right away, that's really good customer service
• 29:48
  and I'm happy for it. So everyone I know of has gotten responses very
• 29:52
  very quick. All right, Uh, that covers all of that. Um,
• 30:03
  you got Savior of Savior of KeyForge decks. What's what's that about there,
• 30:07
  mister Drasca. Oh yeah, so this is one of the rewards that
• 30:11
  we got. Right, all of the backers got a Savior KeyForge deck,
• 30:15
  and you you could in the campaign if you wanted to, you could add
• 30:19
  additional Savior of key Ford decks to your pledge. But one interesting thing was
• 30:23
  that they were like more expensive than regular decks to add to your pledge.
• 30:30
  And so I was like, why would I get something that just has like,
• 30:33
  you know, a little blurb or something on it, more than just
• 30:37
  one pay extra for decks right like that, I'm just gonna get a bunch
• 30:41
  of regular decks. So I did not buy any additional Savior of KeyForge decks.
• 30:47
  Um, well came and I'm looking at the thing, and it is
• 30:52
  it is beautiful, and I'm like, it is it's gold, it is.
• 30:59
  It looks so cool. It's got like a almost looks like an outline
• 31:03
  and and then all the cards on both sides have it. It's just like
• 31:06
  it just pops when you when you play with it, and like like I
• 31:10
  don't sleeve much of anything, but I sleeve that, right. I sleave
• 31:14
  my name decks right, and just just the my best decks. Everything else
• 31:18
  I just play with like without sleeves. Like I'm quickly going to get cards
• 31:22
  that look just like ewalk was just talking about um and normally I don't care,
• 31:26
  but this is so cool. I'm like, shoot, I should have
• 31:29
  gotten some more of these things. These things are are awesome, and maybe
• 31:33
  I should have like left one sealed or something for for the future. Maybe,
• 31:38
  I don't know. For the same events in our wall water, was
• 31:45
  that just me? Or did you do that for everybody that was it was
• 31:48
  robod Yeah, you all of a sudden no no, no, no,
• 31:53
  you need needed to give another That's what happened. I was saying, every
• 32:00
  one needs to open at least one Savior deck for the Savior of key Forge
• 32:04
  Arcon's Corner event. Yeah, maybe we'll also make tiny trophies. I should
• 32:08
  start googling that trophies. I will say it is something that seemed fairly easy
• 32:16
  to be able to add to the back. I don't know the logistics,
• 32:20
  but I think it was a great item to be able to have in the
• 32:23
  collection. I really liked it. I thought it was unique, it was
• 32:27
  special, and so I would love to see some other backs. Um added,
• 32:30
  well, it's the front too correct. I'm just saying, like the
• 32:34
  t to the template to be clear to the people that don't have one yet.
• 32:37
  Like the both the front and the back are like gold. I don't
• 32:42
  even know how to say it, Like they're gold washed, Like if you
• 32:47
  use a wash effect with a like editing software, it's like washing it in
• 32:52
  gold, like a golden sun shining behind your car. Is it foiled or
• 32:59
  is it just it's just printed out. It's not foiled. It's really cool
• 33:04
  though, like I've seen them. But like if it were, like if
• 33:07
  the edges were foiled out too, like a cold foil, that'd be dope.
• 33:12
  M and Zen knows what I'm talking about. Everybody else has never touched
• 33:15
  give a crap about the original foils back in Magic Land. But the cold
• 33:20
  foils and fab are like they are noticeable enough to for even me to appreciate
• 33:24
  them much yeah, they're they're pretty cool. Um, yeah, that that
• 33:30
  would have been cool something. I mean, I know they're trying to get
• 33:31
  these out quickly, so you know, maybe that wasn't maybe the best use
• 33:37
  of time or resources, but you know that, I mean they get them
• 33:42
  so fast. I mean yeah, so obviously number one, I think kind
• 33:51
  of lesson learned. Don't let your box set because I know some people,
• 33:53
  Um, I haven't really heard anything, but like if I get a package,
• 33:58
  sometimes I'm like, oh, I know what it is, sons,
• 34:00
  when I get to it, I get to it. Um, make sure
• 34:05
  make sure your stuff is your stuff, as someone else may have someone else
• 34:08
  may have your stuff, and then obviously contact contact Gigi if you if you
• 34:15
  have any problems. What about the token pack? Yeah, so I instead
• 34:21
  of buying the Savior decks like I should have, I bought the every token
• 34:27
  pack um, and they're kind of cool. I Um, you know,
• 34:32
  if you guys don't this, this is basically a deck of cards that there's
• 34:37
  just copies of every token in a house, and then there's a pack for
• 34:39
  each each house. And so if you're playing you know whatever Trooper, right,
• 34:45
  you put the face card down and you slap one of these on top,
• 34:47
  and now it looks like a trooper, right, more than just a
• 34:50
  little bubble on the card. Um, it's kind of cool. Um,
• 34:54
  I'm not sure that I'm like loving loving it. Um, Like it is
• 35:00
  an extra step to put the card on top of the card and then when
• 35:05
  the thing dies, take it back off and not like put it in the
• 35:07
  discard pile. Um, how many do you get? Do you get?
• 35:14
  Thirty six? It's quite a few. Let me say, like, did
• 35:19
  you get if I have a clear sleeve on my deck? Did you get
• 35:22
  enough to like put them all over those? So like you just about while
• 35:31
  he's counting. Actually no, we're still waiting on him. Never mind,
• 35:37
  because he's got the next one two thirty. Yeah, that's thirty six.
• 35:42
  So you can use clear sleeves and just shove it in the back, right,
• 35:46
  Well you can if you're like I'm committing this sentence, so like your
• 35:51
  favorite deck. I'm not talking about like while you're randomly grinding to see like
• 35:54
  what decks are good because you didn't get the Z score yet, but like,
• 35:59
  um, you haven't given that given that dollar, buckaroo, that one
• 36:04
  dollar there was someone those argue would be about it being expensive, right,
• 36:08
  Well, most of the time when I'm playing in person, although I've been
• 36:13
  chatting with folks about starting up my locals again, but um, the most
• 36:17
  of the time i'm playing in person recently, it's either against my kids or
• 36:22
  I have two of my friends who are very casual playing this game, so
• 36:25
  I'm not bringing my my killer most killer decks there. We're just like,
• 36:30
  here's a pile of whatever decks like reaching and grab one and you play it.
• 36:35
  So um, so I'm unlikely to sleave it up like that, though,
• 36:40
  though maybe if I got a real arc on Woe deck, maybe I
• 36:43
  would do it. Yeah, all right, and what about what about your
• 36:50
  gruin? I know it's one of your most prized possessions. Well yeah,
• 36:53
  I have a gruin, right, So I was like, I got a
• 36:55
  gruin. I was like, oh, so maybe this one will actually be
• 36:59
  mine because the other ones, like I give gave to the kids, right.
• 37:02
  And I opened the box and like, Paul stuff out and I'm like,
• 37:07
  you know, and my kids immediately come in, grab the grouin and
• 37:12
  leave. They don't even ask me can we have this? They just abduct
• 37:15
  him and leave. So I don't know where he is no gruin for you,
• 37:23
  no questions asked, just taking a somewhere. Huh yeah, that's kind
• 37:29
  of funny. But I did get somewhere somewhere space dollars that something. So
• 37:35
  and she says he's tipping over to make a buck. Right, So I
• 37:43
  got the gruin, got the two new models, so I got the whole
• 37:45
  set now, which looks cool over there on my shelf, and uh,
• 37:52
  good stuff. I think we need a picture. Maybe we should see that.
• 37:58
  All right, Well we can later. That's not gonna make for good
• 38:01
  podcasting. No, no, no, I'm not saying right now, I'm
• 38:04
  just saying I was saying. I'm saying, take a picture. Let me
• 38:08
  get up my phone and then I can now frame this picture and then I
• 38:12
  can post a angle on like things like our I mean, we have all
• 38:15
  these social media that a lot of people aren't following. You can follow us
• 38:21
  on Facebook at our Khon's corner, on Twitter on our Kohn's corner, over
• 38:25
  on the U of tubes Arkhon's corner, or you can just listen here.
• 38:30
  That's fine too. But we got Vault tours coming up, so we figured
• 38:35
  it was maybe a good time to do a few tips and tricks for vault
• 38:38
  tours. Many of us since we've had to talk about this, many of
• 38:43
  us have ben to vault tours or you know, large scale events before UM
• 38:50
  and we've kind of been through it. So I put on the list number
• 38:54
  one. Hydration. That's something you're gonna have to think about. I think
• 39:00
  this is almost one of the most important things. Do what Ze does.
• 39:05
  Bring a water bottle. Yeah, Like I don't normally, like I don't
• 39:08
  walk around with like one of those metal water bottles because I'm always flying there.
• 39:12
  But like, the one of the very first things I do every single
• 39:15
  day basically that of any event, is I go either buy a Gateaide or
• 39:21
  a power bait, Like I buy one of those drinks that has a really
• 39:24
  hard, thick plastic that once I'm done drinking the initial contents of the drink,
• 39:30
  you can re fill at any water fountain in a super bench like the
• 39:35
  freaking Fawcett inside the bathroom, like something that you can always be drinking water
• 39:39
  as you go. That just helps with like you're gonna be sitting a lot,
• 39:44
  You're gonna be draining your body of just you know, fluids, and
• 39:47
  then yeah, I drink little water constantly and I go pee in between every
• 39:51
  round. Like that is one of the things that I think has helped like
• 39:55
  reduce like some of the tension headaches that I'm on from big events all the
• 40:00
  time. Um, there's other people that do different processes. Um, but
• 40:05
  yeah, I normally don't like go hard in caffeine ey to drink throughout the
• 40:08
  events that you know potentially have less for judine and effects. Um, but
• 40:15
  I do normally start with a big monster on those days or whatever. I
• 40:17
  don't normally drink with those things. And I go the opposite. I go
• 40:22
  heart of the paint with caffeine. Yeah, I have Like then I just
• 40:29
  need the water. Water is a good thing, So obviously get yourself.
• 40:32
  Maybe if you're can't you bring a plastic water bottle out with you probably can.
• 40:39
  I just plan to do that because like if you get the fluid,
• 40:43
  like those initial fluid you need anyway, that helps like somewhat cut the amount
• 40:47
  of caffeine you take initially so you don't get as jittery, which we'll talk
• 40:52
  about like the actually stress and nerves in a minute going too much caffeine without
• 40:57
  like you know, something that has electricals will have other effects that you might
• 41:01
  not want. Yeah, and you can go ahead and take a water bottle.
• 41:06
  It does need to be emptied as you're going through UM screening, and
• 41:10
  then there are water stations once you get to your gates. Perfect. Yeah,
• 41:15
  see j R. Knows all about it. I just use it.
• 41:19
  I use it all. No, I use it all the time. I
• 41:21
  mean for me, water is extremely important. Um, but use it,
• 41:25
  use it consistently. Go and take those bathroom breaks. And it's used to
• 41:29
  give yourself a little mental health break too, and also to continue to release
• 41:34
  for the hydration. Yes, if you like me, cigarettes and cigarettes and
• 41:40
  nasis, we all have our different ways. Any we'll not get you in
• 41:45
  the day two. Well, I mean I would recommend don't drink something with
• 41:49
  too much sugar. R. You've had a couple. Yeah, if your
• 41:52
  sugar levels fluctuating too much, like it could. I feel like for me,
• 41:58
  it affects my focus, right, So yeah, I try to stay
• 42:02
  away from super sugary stuff. Yeah. So anyway, cigarettes and energy drinks,
• 42:08
  that's what I do. But I suggest the water bottle. Don't do
• 42:13
  what I do. I've had many years of experience in this because I work
• 42:16
  retail I'm an expert on it. This is just how we how I survive
• 42:23
  my days. So but hydration is like super important. The tension headaches are
• 42:29
  real. I did. I got one in Indianapolis, which they are hard
• 42:32
  to They're hard to overcome, and i'd be profit in Thailand. All doesn't
• 42:37
  seem to do it. So it's more the issue is if you get one,
• 42:43
  the like that stuff will work, but it doesn't work soon enough and
• 42:47
  you're already in it, and then you're going back in the environment that put
• 42:51
  it there in the first place. So like it's it's not great experience if
• 42:57
  you can always do what magic players do and just take a bucket adderall.
• 43:01
  No, no, don't do that. No, we do not recommend taking
• 43:10
  I didn't recommend it. I just said that's what magic players do. The
• 43:15
  next one's actually super tricky because you never know what this is gonna be.
• 43:20
  It doesn't matter where we go. I feel like we got flow with and
• 43:27
  it's tough now because you used to how how it used to go with old
• 43:30
  of all tours is they would plan like after round four or taking an hour
• 43:37
  and you can everybody go as and they eat, they do their thing.
• 43:39
  I don't know. Did we get a meal break at UH celebrations. I
• 43:45
  think we did. I think at one point in time I had asked about
• 43:49
  it, we got a meal break? You were too busy still grinding unchanged
• 43:54
  games, so I think at one time they said yeah, like but it
• 43:59
  was only like thirty minutes, so like it used to be. There was
• 44:04
  a meal break on the longest day, which was whatever the saturday we were
• 44:07
  there because I remember I went to be in line for it and I got
• 44:12
  there as soon as he told us to go because I finished my game and
• 44:15
  I went, and then I had to finish my order finally came up.
• 44:19
  By the time I was going back to play, I was eating it during
• 44:22
  my next match, so I did have one. It was just short.
• 44:28
  I'm assuming there's going to be meal breaks. But like granola bars are an
• 44:32
  awesome thing that you can throw into your satchel or a backpack or like trail
• 44:38
  Mix, like Costco has awesome like little like trail Mix bags that are super
• 44:44
  easy. I take them with me on my lunch most days at work.
• 44:46
  You can toss them in there. They're small, they're compact. Just have
• 44:50
  something to snack on because there aren't gonna be times. I mean, it's
• 44:53
  not gonna be every time, but you never know that one time where you're
• 44:57
  like, I'm super hungry and they're like, oh, you got thirty minutes
• 44:59
  and your game runs long and they've already started lunch, and yeah, So
• 45:05
  I just don't get it because I never know if I'm gonna get to eat
• 45:07
  on the days, Like I eat a decent breakfast and I eat it.
• 45:09
  We always go somewhere to eat before you twelve car pile up. Oh yeah
• 45:15
  yeah. But in my bag now, like my brother and I will before
• 45:19
  we go to these events, we will buy like a big pack of like
• 45:22
  the slim gems. We will buy the trail mix like he just said.
• 45:27
  We'll buy fruit snacks, um, and we'll buy those like nut bars.
• 45:30
  They're normally like peanut butter or whatever, um, and with like the nuts,
• 45:36
  and then that's what we always have those. So if we don't actually
• 45:40
  end up getting time or a chance to go eat, or if we don't
• 45:45
  want to, like whatever their menu is is like super greasy, which is
• 45:47
  like the case for most of these places, or in my case, if
• 45:52
  there's just nothing I can actually eat on their menu, um, there's always
• 45:57
  something there, so combined with like there's drinking water, you have some kind
• 46:00
  of like quick protein type thing to move you through that is not like acidic
• 46:05
  and greasy, which is affect other things. The key here is being the
• 46:08
  protein. It will sustain you a little bit longer. I actually find that
• 46:14
  this is the biggest problem that I have to deal with. My metabolism is
• 46:17
  extremely fast, and when you start to see me really slow down, most
• 46:22
  of the time it's due to a lack of food and my ability to retain
• 46:27
  that focus that I have. So this this is the biggest issue that I
• 46:30
  have because I am very, very consistent with having three meals a day and
• 46:37
  the lunch meal, which others don't have, UM is pretty substantial and I
• 46:40
  need that. But be aware of what your individual dietary needs are and what
• 46:46
  your own health needs are in order to be at your best and to have
• 46:50
  that focus. I do carry protein bars that we talked about and nuts.
• 46:57
  Those are great options, but that actually will not sustain me. I need
• 47:00
  a full meal. And one of the big things I think that we overlook
• 47:05
  a lot of the times too is finding food afterward. You got to remember
• 47:08
  some of these events now I know some don't, but some do go deep.
• 47:14
  I think we were there ten almost eleven o'clock. Yeah, day one
• 47:19
  and day two, so lots of things after the pandemic now shut down at
• 47:23
  nine. I'm finding that more and more where I'm like, hey, let's
• 47:27
  just do this, it's like you can't do that because they're they're not open
• 47:30
  anymore. Things like twenty four hour McDonald's doesn't exist. Really, I mean
• 47:35
  it does, but some places don't have that, Like in my neck of
• 47:38
  the woods, like that doesn't exist anymore. They shut down at nine o'clock.
• 47:42
  So you know, these things don't exist anymore. You know, have
• 47:46
  a game plan for what you're going to do after who you're going to go
• 47:50
  with. With our particular group, it's always a struggle. So that's because
• 47:55
  we have a large group that wants to be able together. But I will
• 47:59
  say in the opposite side, reach out. Our KeyForge group as a whole
• 48:04
  is very responsive. I know that when we're down in Kansas City. I
• 48:07
  made it deep into that sealed event. It was ten thirty and I still
• 48:12
  hadn't had dinner. So there were other individuals, hey i'm running out,
• 48:15
  Okay, go ahead and you know, they were able to pick up food
• 48:19
  for me, so that that is something that don't feel. Oh, I
• 48:22
  don't know anyone in the group. What do I have to do? Just
• 48:24
  reach out, Hey, I'm playing, I'm doing well. Is anyone running
• 48:28
  out? Would you be able to grab some food from me? Um?
• 48:30
  We got a really good group. Yeah. And that being said, UM
• 48:36
  like things such as cash app venmo Hey, I think almost all of us
• 48:40
  at this point in time have something one of those. It's really nice,
• 48:44
  or carry cash. So I don't know anymore. UM, well, I
• 48:53
  will say what's interesting is with UM the double elimination, it's very very possible
• 49:00
  for the upcoming volt Tours that you are not just playing all the way through
• 49:05
  the rest of the day if you know your deck has a tough matchup or
• 49:09
  two tough matchups or um ego ahead and don't necessarily have the preparation we'll talk
• 49:15
  about or other things. It's just lots of different reasons why you're going to
• 49:20
  be out. But this isn't you're playing six rounds and you're guaranteed that anymore
• 49:25
  or five. It very well could be when you're done, you're done.
• 49:31
  So I mean, it's a very different experience from what we're used to.
• 49:36
  We're used to it's all day regardless. I mean, there was plenty of
• 49:38
  O two drops back in back in the olden days, but you know it
• 49:44
  is different now. Now it's O two when you're done and you're on to
• 49:46
  second umber, so which hopefully they're reworking a little bit um. You know,
• 49:52
  I think the unchained stuff was awesome. The second numbers will work.
• 49:58
  Hopeful, hopeful they're they're doing something good for it. Well. Actually,
• 50:01
  on that note, I'm going to bounce down to the bottom. And I
• 50:06
  know this isn't necessarily for most of our viewership, but this would be my
• 50:09
  recommendation for GG staff, so I know that we do have he is listening,
• 50:15
  and I would post the details. I've had a couple of individuals who've
• 50:19
  actually reached out to me. You can go ahead and find out about our
• 50:23
  vault tours and that is specifically listed from keyforging dot com and then it gets
• 50:30
  get your tickets. But by clicking on that, it'll take you to the
• 50:35
  vaults and on the side you can click on the individual vaults and see kind
• 50:38
  of what the schedule is. But what I would love to see is actually
• 50:43
  post details for the side events. I know that he has to put a
• 50:46
  ton of time into kind of organizing the typing as fast as he can.
• 50:53
  No. No, but I post this because they've been a wookie. They've
• 50:59
  been a lot of questions in regards to like things on Facebook or Reddit or
• 51:04
  frankly even in discord, like, um, can I scan into the master
• 51:07
  vaults? Can I go ahead and do this if those individual questions are popping
• 51:12
  up and people are reaching out to me about, Hey, I don't I
• 51:16
  really it would like to go to a vault tour, but I don't think
• 51:20
  I have that top level competitive deck. I'm gonna just stay home because I
• 51:23
  have no reason. There were a lot of other reasons why people went from
• 51:28
  the community to here's the side events. Um, you can see some great
• 51:30
  side events that are listed for gen con um going out and using the differentist
• 51:35
  and chat, a woe deck is gonna make top eight at every vault.
• 51:39
  Well the first of all that it would a tend. So people do have
• 51:43
  the decks. They're opening them right now. Bring your brush the old school
• 51:50
  with Brian whatever, like all this crazy coming out of the fish, the
• 51:54
  fish and like the broad Bar, I saw a broadnar from a randomly open
• 51:59
  deck that that my bro had it to his name deck. The deck isn't
• 52:02
  actually designed that well, but in one turn this brobnar went off for fifteen
• 52:08
  amber on turn three, Like that's brobnar, Guys, like that's that's some
• 52:13
  like nature's called dust fixty hunting which level amber gain and that's just some random
• 52:17
  deck off the like you know, off the cuff. Um, I'm ready
• 52:22
  for it. I think more people have a shot to make Day two than
• 52:25
  we originally assessed just because of whoa I hear this, but I'm saying I
• 52:30
  think that it's really important that from GG that it is clearly communicated what some
• 52:37
  of those side events are to entice people who frankly, I mean all of
• 52:42
  us could be O two and be out. But yeah, that's that Fart's
• 52:45
  true, Like no matter what a what is, the fourth of the field
• 52:47
  is out after two games, Like that's just what's going to happen. The
• 52:52
  second amber does need to be very very good as far as like what the
• 52:55
  offering is there, because a fourth of the people and then another worth or
• 53:00
  whatever within the next round is coming to play into that and that's going to
• 53:07
  be their main experience for the weekend, so like that's what they spent all
• 53:09
  of their travel money on doing. So I'm hopeful that second amber is going
• 53:14
  to be a thing. And then the other thing that was posted at previous
• 53:17
  Vault tours there was a prize wall. There were little things that at some
• 53:22
  of the vaults. Sheep was arguing with me on Tuesday in regards to it
• 53:27
  wasn't all the vaults, but we had the blue or yellow acrylic amber that
• 53:34
  if you went ahead and played side games, if you won, you got
• 53:37
  two amber pieces, if you lost, you got one, so there was
• 53:40
  still incentive for playing. So I would be really curious to have those items,
• 53:45
  like, hey, here's what's going to be available, because right now
• 53:49
  the Vault tours are not tied in outside of like ken Gen CON's not a
• 53:52
  Vault tour that's your Nationals, but the actual Vault tours there is no other
• 53:55
  con that's associated with it. So any way that we can again get more
• 54:00
  general people excited from the community, especially around those different vaults who are spaces
• 54:06
  we want them to be able to come, and having that prize wall is
• 54:09
  a way to entice them being able to see what the details for the side
• 54:13
  events are is a way to entice them. And I know that there's more
• 54:16
  information that Gig has already done in the background, but I think that it
• 54:21
  has to be communicated so that people are aware. Otherwise they're just going to
• 54:24
  stay at home because they don't know any better, and then you're gonna have
• 54:28
  a grumbly sheep of oh I didn't know any better, like gen Con last
• 54:30
  year and I didn't go, and then you'll see this fear of missing out
• 54:35
  afterwards of when you're seeing people at the Vault having a blast and participating.
• 54:38
  So that's my recommendation is more for gigs staff, but if we can get
• 54:43
  communication and that could be to us. Frankly, it's better for you guys
• 54:46
  on your website, but just get it out there to everyone as soon as
• 54:51
  possible so flights can be booked and rooms can be booked and people can get
• 54:55
  excited for it. Yeah dig that, Um I lost my place. Oh
• 55:04
  so I put this one on there. Not that we've really honestly ever had
• 55:07
  a problem with it in the Key Forage community, but we had another incident
• 55:13
  with hygiene. Guess what community was with this time? Your weren't plays.
• 55:19
  No, no, no, no, it's a game. It's a gaming
• 55:21
  community. Thanks drass car Lorcana. No it was Hugi again, the same
• 55:29
  people that got brought up for the first time. So you know, I
• 55:34
  mean, I'm I'm gonna lie to nobody. I'm a bigger guy, right.
• 55:37
  If you've ever seen me, you've seen pictures. They're all over the
• 55:40
  internet. You can find me. I'm coming for you. I'm trying.
• 55:45
  I usually I usually, um, I usually keep a stick of deodorant and
• 55:51
  some spray on me at pretty much all times. Um, and especially when
• 55:55
  you're in a room. Um, you know, shoulder to shoulder. I
• 56:00
  don't know what the what the situation looks like with people, but typically you're
• 56:06
  you're pretty crammed in there. Um you're shoulder to shoulder. You know,
• 56:09
  it's not fun sitting next to somebody that's not great in the smells department.
• 56:15
  So I usually smell like cigarettes and energy drinks. Yeah, it's all so
• 56:22
  um Z. You put on dealing. I'm not sure what you meant by
• 56:29
  that. I don't drugs. I don't bring your dealer to the Vault tour
• 56:42
  with you. Shuffling practice shuffling for in person place I mean, my,
• 56:52
  my, the thing I put on here is redrawing back to hand size.
• 56:54
  Now did we get an official ruling on hand sized drawings yet? What do
• 57:00
  you mean? Well, okay, so the old rule was if you overdrew
• 57:02
  your opponent, I go to look at your hand, choose them on card,
• 57:06
  but that went back to your deck. I do not believe we have
• 57:09
  floor rules in that way at this moment in time that I have seen.
• 57:15
  That would be up to the judge. You would call a judge, and
• 57:19
  then they would decide what to do about it, just ye, like before
• 57:23
  the full floor rules, and that was kind of awful. But we'll see.
• 57:30
  Basically, a short and skinny of it is nine times out of ten,
• 57:34
  I shouldn't eve, say nine times at a time. I got into
• 57:36
  the very big habit up here, sheep. I got into the the habit
• 57:40
  of laying my cards down and then counting out, you know, putting my
• 57:45
  cards face down and then counting out back up to hand size. That way,
• 57:50
  If at any you know what order you went in that way, If
• 57:52
  there's ever a discrepancy of like oh I went to eight and I should be
• 57:54
  at seven, you know which card to put back on the top of your
• 57:59
  deck. I typically don't look at them until it's my turn. That way,
• 58:04
  they can't you know, nobody can say like, oh, you you
• 58:06
  looked at it, now you know what it is. Now I get to
• 58:07
  look at your hand and put one back. We don't know what the floor
• 58:10
  rules look like yet. Um specifically, I wouldn't be surprised if that one
• 58:16
  switched over and it was just a thing that became a floor rule again,
• 58:23
  but once it was implemented into the floor rules, it was widely accepted.
• 58:28
  As in most people knew that you like revealed your hand, they picked one,
• 58:31
  and they shuffled it back in. They give them complete hand knowledge.
• 58:35
  It also screwed you, Like it's a pretty bad penalty, but then again,
• 58:38
  like there's very few other things in the game that could actually advantage you
• 58:44
  quite as much that quickly, and if not, curtails are very beneficial to
• 58:52
  like the edge casers that are wanting to do that all the time. Like
• 58:57
  and that stopped it. I mean, like the student is that person gets
• 59:00
  a lots with that there, whether it was intentional or not, they're going
• 59:04
  to be beyond pardoid it ever happens again. And like you just said,
• 59:07
  like, my hand stays down on the table and I count to it during
• 59:12
  all tournament events and I literally don't touch it until my turn. Again.
• 59:15
  It is I give my opponent my full focus. I can't do shit on
• 59:20
  their turn anyway. Like, but boys didn't, didn't We actually see that
• 59:23
  from Duncan and Josh. What's that um? The idea for being able to
• 59:29
  count out the cards, leaving them face down until it's her turn. It
• 59:35
  came out like in the clear the clean play that a roar in a budget
• 59:39
  me Dave, like, I I went and got a roar. I got
• 59:43
  Dave. I got me from teams as we reapound and roar over there and
• 59:45
  the across the ocean m and we all worked on it together and we produced
• 59:51
  that a long time ago. I just I really like that. I mean,
• 59:54
  it's a it's a really nice concept for key for it's because you're not
• 59:59
  playing during your opponent's turn, just you're counting it out. That's the final
• 1:00:04
  step. You're leaving the cards face down in front of you. You're watching
• 1:00:07
  and able to focus on your opponent. And then if there was a mistake,
• 1:00:10
  remember those mistakes are both opponents that your opponent and you, So you
• 1:00:16
  both got to keep a check on that. And I will tell you,
• 1:00:20
  even playing Woe this week, there's a lot to be able to keep in
• 1:00:23
  mind for triggers. So one of the Woe cards that we are we are
• 1:00:29
  playing with that just showed up is at the beginning of your of your turn,
• 1:00:34
  you can go ahead and play a token creature or draw a card.
• 1:00:39
  It's on a creature. Both players have to be aware of that. I
• 1:00:43
  also had not auto cannon, but the creature that it basically does the same
• 1:00:46
  thing or does it damage upon entry from bob tingle bing pingle was there.
• 1:00:52
  But all of those are triggers that you're gonna have to really really pay attention
• 1:00:57
  to. And so in our game, both people are responsible for every single
• 1:01:01
  trigger, correct. So I just I recommend that strategy of keeping cards face
• 1:01:07
  down or drawing not looking at them until you're ready to go ahead and start
• 1:01:12
  your turn. I would also hope that whoever our floor judges are for each
• 1:01:16
  of the Vault tours, that we go through a player briefing. Yes,
• 1:01:22
  right before and Josh and Duncan used to do a player brief they were really
• 1:01:28
  good at that. They're very very good at it. But it helps to
• 1:01:30
  bring everyone to the same page of here's what the expectation is. If you
• 1:01:36
  have an issue, college judge, here's how you can handle your hands.
• 1:01:39
  There's some common etiquette that we should be able to establish. And yes,
• 1:01:43
  thank you Zee, and for everyone else who is involved in um, you
• 1:01:47
  know clean play rules, because I don't. I don't think most people are
• 1:01:52
  trying to cause problems and this set of following clean play No, but following
• 1:01:59
  the set of clean play rules does help to keep the game clean and focused
• 1:02:02
  on the game versus and then then you can then you can focus on those
• 1:02:07
  few people who are trying to do something different. Yeah. I mean the
• 1:02:13
  big thing to remember is cash is involved now, right, And when there
• 1:02:17
  is cash, there is temptation, and where there is temptation, there are
• 1:02:21
  people who will try to exploit it, right, So I'm not saying that
• 1:02:25
  that really hasn't been a problem in our game. Yeah, So I mean
• 1:02:30
  hopefully it stays that way. Who again with cash prizing, now, who
• 1:02:36
  knows I can't play as well, and we still didn't see it there.
• 1:02:40
  Again, it wasn't as much as what we're talking about in the future.
• 1:02:44
  We had quite a bit, but in the gen, like what you just
• 1:02:46
  said, our community right now is amazing. Is as long as everyone does
• 1:02:50
  like well, we just talk about what JR. Just alluded to, Like
• 1:02:52
  we keep playing in that way. If they're playing in the other way,
• 1:02:57
  it'll become apparent, like it'll be very obvious they are not fitting in and
• 1:03:04
  probably be self weeded out just because they stick out. They just doesn't match
• 1:03:12
  the rest of us, right, I mean, and to be on that
• 1:03:15
  too, don't. I mean, so for some people this is going to
• 1:03:17
  be the first time at a large event, don't be afraid to call it.
• 1:03:22
  Judge, you're not being the bad person. You are protecting you in
• 1:03:24
  the integrity of the game. Yeah, you also just need to fess up
• 1:03:29
  to your mistakes, because I think a lot of the times people will like
• 1:03:32
  overdraw and then they don't want to say anything about it because they don't want
• 1:03:36
  to be accused of whatever, like if that had Like, mistakes are made
• 1:03:39
  in almost every game of Key Forward. I'm convinced of this. I've seen
• 1:03:42
  way too many in live games as s t O or Judge or whatever,
• 1:03:46
  like, there are a lot of trickers and we don't have TCO there to
• 1:03:51
  fix everything or for us on live play, and then as the day goes
• 1:03:53
  on, you make more and more mess ups. Just if you mess up,
• 1:03:59
  just say it, Like everyone does these things no matter how much we
• 1:04:04
  practice, no matter how focused we try to be. Someone's going to miss
• 1:04:08
  an autoder trigger. Someone's gonna forget to make that dank token at the start
• 1:04:13
  of their turn, or draw a card even though it is not a male
• 1:04:15
  like, it's these things happen. Just say it as soon as you realize
• 1:04:18
  it, and then just deal with it. It's if you are always doing
• 1:04:23
  that, like they will respect you more than for not saying anything, which
• 1:04:29
  is what I think what happens to people more often than them trying to be
• 1:04:31
  sly about things, just they miss it and then they don't want to go
• 1:04:34
  through that process of being that guy, yeah or girl. And I will
• 1:04:41
  say for any of our new players or players who are last experience with card
• 1:04:45
  games or frankly with key Forge or this newest sets or whatever sets we're playing,
• 1:04:49
  because there's people who've been out for a while. If you don't know
• 1:04:54
  a card, asked to see it, and frankly, if someone's playing too
• 1:04:57
  fast, I know a lot of people will get tilt. It's over it,
• 1:05:00
  but it is your rights and ability to see the cards and to know
• 1:05:04
  what they're going to do. Again, read the card versus just expecting that
• 1:05:10
  we're following verbatim. There's a lot of mistakes, even from our veterans who
• 1:05:15
  are out there. There's an old purposely all the time. But again,
• 1:05:19
  if you don't know something, slow it down and ask hey can I see
• 1:05:23
  that? Let me read the card. That is your right. There's an
• 1:05:27
  old saying reading the card explains the card. Sometimes sometimes don't think you know,
• 1:05:33
  and sometimes don't think you know what a card does. Maybe read it
• 1:05:39
  that way, you don't shuffle your hand back, and for pristance, don't
• 1:05:44
  the right card whatever. You get my point, that's two cards you're doing.
• 1:05:48
  I know I actually just combined two cards together because there's a belt card
• 1:05:51
  called that. As far as I haven't aware. But sometimes sometimes you're like,
• 1:05:56
  yep, I know what that does, and you start doing it and
• 1:05:58
  then you're like, oh, that's not what the card does. That's a
• 1:06:00
  different card. Totally totally got stop um, all right, managing stress Z,
• 1:06:11
  that's how you manage this stress. Never gonna happen. A lot of
• 1:06:15
  the stuff that like we just mentioned earlier does help this, making sure that
• 1:06:17
  you're hydrated, to make sure that you are eating um regularly with the snacks
• 1:06:23
  that I mentioned. But like, for the most part, I think the
• 1:06:26
  biggest thing for me, like when I've played a lot of these, so
• 1:06:29
  it's not like things get like bigger than they've been before, but like the
• 1:06:34
  biggest thing that helps me is that, like the community is so great,
• 1:06:39
  um know that they're all here to play the same game. You just constantly
• 1:06:43
  remind yourself it is just a game. I think is probably the most important
• 1:06:46
  thing to manage your personal stress level because at some point, if you go
• 1:06:50
  to enough faults, if you keep, um, keep doing the work you
• 1:06:55
  know to get better, you're going to find yourself higher than you've ever been
• 1:06:58
  before. And that's like, you know, between those rounds, like drink
• 1:07:02
  your water, walk around, go to the restroom, even if you don't
• 1:07:05
  need to, like sometimes you just need that quiet moment um. I don't
• 1:07:11
  know what it looks like inside of it, like a non male bathroom,
• 1:07:14
  but inside of a guy's bathroom, no one is talking to you there,
• 1:07:16
  so it is very good place to go. Like one of my tips and
• 1:07:21
  tricks, I talked to everyone in the bathroom to throw him on tilt.
• 1:07:26
  I hope I play you in the next round, Wookie troll. Um.
• 1:07:30
  Yeah, everybody say high to the Wookie in the bathroom. Now, absolutely,
• 1:07:34
  I give high fives. Um. But yeah, I think that's like
• 1:07:42
  make sure you're doing the eating and drinking and just go to go to the
• 1:07:45
  restroom in between the rounds, like take them in in the mirror. I
• 1:07:47
  mean, it's just the game. Constantly remind yourselfing is just a game.
• 1:07:51
  And like during the game, x Ray and draft Corp, like if it
• 1:07:56
  was on video, I think the video got cut off. Probably showed the
• 1:07:59
  best example of what they should be doing any final table. Ever, both
• 1:08:04
  of them play a lot faster regularly than they did in that final, even
• 1:08:09
  though Drafts still messed up out of the game. UM slowed theirselves down and
• 1:08:15
  thought through their turns. UM and x Ray was very composed, played slower
• 1:08:20
  than I'd ever seen him play and before and he did an up winning and
• 1:08:25
  then Drafts slowed down. Make sure he got every auto encoder trigger because he
• 1:08:30
  did have that card. It is a trigger that does get missed. Quite
• 1:08:32
  often in real life and in all that's part of like naging the stress,
• 1:08:36
  managing the situation, and just like this is a game, slow it down
• 1:08:40
  if you need to. That's that's it's good to Like just remember I called
• 1:08:45
  from these two those two on the drafts. You're gonna say something yeah yeah,
• 1:08:49
  and don't, um watch out for tilts, right if you make a
• 1:08:54
  mistake, don't let yourself get tilted and then make another mistake. Right,
• 1:08:58
  So take a deep breath, slow down. Um, you know, like
• 1:09:03
  you've talked before about um slow play and stuff on the cast, right,
• 1:09:09
  but I think it's like you're not intentionally if you if you need to take
• 1:09:13
  a breath like I have. I do remember one time where I had a
• 1:09:15
  complex turn and I was like, wait what do I do here? And
• 1:09:17
  I sent to my opponent, Hey, I'm gonna take need to take a
• 1:09:20
  little extra time this turn. Just see just see, you know, And
• 1:09:26
  I really thought things through carefully because I was like this the combination of triggers
• 1:09:30
  that was on the board versus what was in my hand, Like the two
• 1:09:32
  different houses were both complex and and I was like, if I picked the
• 1:09:36
  wrong one, it's probably not gonna be good for me. And so I
• 1:09:43
  took that turn very slow and did the right thing, and then I was
• 1:09:45
  able to pick up the pace again after that. So, um, don't
• 1:09:50
  you know, don't rush it and then you you make a mistake and then
• 1:09:54
  get yourself on tilt, and then you make another mistake that you normally wouldn't
• 1:09:56
  have made. So uh, patience, you know, often what happens is
• 1:10:00
  that your stress leads to compounded issues. So going ahead and clearly communicating your
• 1:10:06
  play or hey, I need a moment to be able to think this through,
• 1:10:12
  that is perfectly fine. I would also say and go with all of
• 1:10:16
  my fourth and fifth graders. We actually have evidence for something as simple as
• 1:10:21
  square breathing. So that is big deep breath in about three seconds and picture
• 1:10:28
  blowing out like your candle for another three to four seconds. Done a big
• 1:10:32
  deep breath in and repeating blowing out. That's one square, and I think
• 1:10:38
  that's really like I shouldn't do much. But by going ahead and essentially doing
• 1:10:43
  three squares, and that could be done between you know, after a game
• 1:10:45
  where you lost or you won, but to maintain more of a steady keel,
• 1:10:50
  this will help to lower your heart rate. To lower your anxiety.
• 1:10:56
  It's actually a technique that was used and is used by our Navy seal So
• 1:11:00
  I like to show that if it can be used from our fourth and fifth
• 1:11:03
  graders all the way up through our you know, trained military who are very
• 1:11:08
  very they're in stressful situations that I hope to never find myself in. If
• 1:11:14
  we can see that it's reducing their heart rates and their stress level, It's
• 1:11:17
  something that anybody can use, and I would highly suggest using it just to
• 1:11:23
  be able to put yourself in the best environment. Remember this is a game
• 1:11:26
  that we love and so you know, smile, have some fun with it.
• 1:11:30
  But if you find that stress picking up, simple square breathing is a
• 1:11:34
  technique that can be used. All right, let's go to sleep, Jared,
• 1:11:42
  This is okay, ightday night, lightday night with Wookie. You know
• 1:11:48
  that that is the exact thing that I was going to say. That is
• 1:11:51
  what's really ironic. Like we are both on there, and if you are
• 1:11:57
  in a room with Wookie, remember to bring white noise machine, bring earbuds
• 1:12:02
  that are canceling, and then put another pair in the book a different room.
• 1:12:06
  It's we love you, but snores are over there. I mean,
• 1:12:15
  I have happening. I don't know what you want me to do about it.
• 1:12:18
  Yeah, but you don't. I have a medical condition that I can't
• 1:12:23
  change. Sorry, guys, I'll give you all hugs next time I see
• 1:12:29
  you. All right, but sleep is important, obviously, getting your rest.
• 1:12:33
  I remember my first of all tour. Um, I'll tell the story.
• 1:12:39
  My first of all tour was down in Collinsville, Illinois. It was
• 1:12:45
  Collinsville, right you huck No, not Collinsville. That was where was our
• 1:12:49
  first fall tour. Ah, it was in Illinois. Collinsville was down was
• 1:12:59
  much later. I'm trying to go. It Wasnticon Schaumberger. Um. I
• 1:13:05
  had brought my family down because I figured, well, you know, I'm
• 1:13:08
  staying here anyway, so I brought I brought the whole family down. Live
• 1:13:13
  was very little at the time. I think she was one, maybe two
• 1:13:17
  years old at the time. UM I had made day two, so I
• 1:13:21
  was I was top eighting it up and UM I remember her just she woke
• 1:13:30
  up in the middle of the night and not kidding you, there was like
• 1:13:32
  one thirty two o'clock in the morning, just screaming. I don't know.
• 1:13:35
  We never really found she was so little at the time. You know,
• 1:13:40
  we really couldn't get to get much information out of her. But obviously I
• 1:13:43
  spent the next few hours, um, you know, trying to console her
• 1:13:47
  and make her happy. You know, she's two years old and I don't
• 1:13:50
  know what's wrong. And nothing's worse to a dad than not being able to
• 1:13:56
  figure out what's going on. Um it's something that's you know, seems so
• 1:14:00
  easy, but that's what it was. I performed pretty poorly the next day
• 1:14:04
  because you know, I was I was overtired. I didn't drink my SI,
• 1:14:09
  I didn't drink my energy drinks and have my cigarettes. I'm just kidding.
• 1:14:12
  I had my cigarettes, didn't drink my cigarettes. I'm just kidding.
• 1:14:15
  I had lots of energy drinks and cigarettes that next day. But you know,
• 1:14:18
  either way, still I perform. I performed pretty poorly. Now,
• 1:14:23
  I probably didn't stand a chance because I was going up against you know,
• 1:14:26
  a bucket of lands decks, but you know, and I wasn't. My
• 1:14:32
  lands deck had already been eliminated. So but either way, you know,
• 1:14:36
  long story short, like I've I've felt it firsthand. I don't know if
• 1:14:41
  any of you guys have. I mean, I've shared a I've shared a
• 1:14:45
  house was z and hotel room was ziwok. A hotel room with Ewok and
• 1:14:49
  sheep. I'm sure I kept them up all night, even though I tried
• 1:14:54
  not to, but I did. I know I did. Where I flew
• 1:14:58
  in, I was feeling like a little bad the day before, and I
• 1:15:02
  was like sick on that night and I didn't sleep very well. Like that
• 1:15:06
  was probably the worst it got to be. And that's and I did.
• 1:15:11
  I did punt on my second uh my second game, which lost the best
• 1:15:15
  deck probably in the room. Um. I did end up making Day two,
• 1:15:19
  but I wasn't like the deck I ended up being on third wasn't by
• 1:15:24
  far good enough to make it further. Um. But yeah, that's probably
• 1:15:27
  the most I had been affected by SLEEPUM in general. Yeah, all right,
• 1:15:33
  use code pictures in case net Oh yeah, yep, so your actual
• 1:15:42
  ID code. UM. We used to go ahead and have one for master
• 1:15:45
  vaults that would need to be scanned, so that's they would know which player
• 1:15:48
  you are. However, if you're dependent on the internet and that's really slow
• 1:15:55
  or fails or non existence, that can be a problem. And number two,
• 1:15:59
  when we used to have it where it was scanning on your phone sometimes
• 1:16:02
  just the image was a little bit off. So the trick for that was
• 1:16:05
  actually ahead of time, bring it up at home, got lots of time,
• 1:16:10
  take a picture of it, and then it's in your image section or
• 1:16:15
  your capture files and you just bring that up, which really really does help.
• 1:16:18
  That was a nice trick. Which we don't know how that's going to
• 1:16:21
  look in the future, but I am assuming like it's we know, the
• 1:16:25
  master world is a web application. Now it's all going to be done through
• 1:16:28
  your web not your actual apps store or whatever. But wherever that I assume
• 1:16:33
  there will still be something that they need to scan. Whatever that ends up
• 1:16:38
  being, is what we're talking about. So like in the future, whatever
• 1:16:41
  they need to scan, take a picture of that store somewhere that you will
• 1:16:45
  always be able to get to it quickly and you don't have to worry about
• 1:16:47
  reconnection the net and logging you out of masterball, the internet being bad.
• 1:16:51
  All of these things can happen, have happened, and that way you are
• 1:16:57
  good to go no matter what. Which is the second one? The next
• 1:17:01
  one falls it this exact thing. Mobile battery packs for your phone are super
• 1:17:08
  cheap now real quick on the codes thing. Burger Token still has the KeyForge
• 1:17:14
  card builder. One of the tricks I used to I did for a long
• 1:17:17
  time. I still have my old one, but I need to do my
• 1:17:20
  new one is you can build a card and put your QR code right on
• 1:17:24
  your card if you. I mean, there's tons of applications out there where
• 1:17:27
  you can do all sorts of image manipulation however you want to do it,
• 1:17:30
  and you can put your code right on your card and you can just scan
• 1:17:33
  your card with the QR code. So I know I did it. Um
• 1:17:40
  local car had done it. Lots of other people into a couple of people.
• 1:17:43
  Those those were pretty cool. Yeah, I mean you can print them
• 1:17:45
  off. They print off same as normal card size. Um. You know,
• 1:17:50
  I wish they would update it a little bit. I don't know if
• 1:17:53
  that'll ever happen, but um I I doubt it too, but maybe,
• 1:17:58
  you know, you never know, um, hey, maybe our new dev
• 1:18:00
  can do it. You have our own one right here on the see there
• 1:18:03
  you go something, but jascore, you're regardless of it. It was an
• 1:18:09
  awesome way, especially with all tours, I could I could literally hand that
• 1:18:13
  card to the TiO or head judge or whoever it was, and they could
• 1:18:17
  do whatever it is they needed to do with it, and you know I
• 1:18:20
  could be on my way. Pretty cool. Someone at my store actually had
• 1:18:24
  it when I was tioing with the chain bound that was actually like really communient.
• 1:18:28
  Yeah, fun story. Don't do it on foil card stock though bones
• 1:18:33
  can't reach. How are those foil cards coming along with you? Just peachy,
• 1:18:38
  just peach horrible? Um, they're they're next to the shirts. Yeah,
• 1:18:45
  that was the shirts. Shirts. Oh the jersey said I was gonna
• 1:18:48
  create. Yeah, that's right in the line. You know. I had
• 1:18:53
  telled everybody if we if we wanted to get these jerseys going, let's get
• 1:18:56
  it. Let's get something down, and like a person showed up. So
• 1:19:00
  I was like, well, clearly nobody's interested in making jerseys. But whatever,
• 1:19:05
  Uh, long story short, I never really got around to it.
• 1:19:10
  So it's it's still on the on the chopping board obviously. You know,
• 1:19:14
  this is something we do for for frenzies as a hobby. So I'll get
• 1:19:20
  around to him. I mean I've tested something, he's always typing. I've
• 1:19:26
  tested some items, um with not much luck because because no, no,
• 1:19:36
  no, listen, colon health is a very important part of our cust Yeah,
• 1:19:42
  what should you take care of that? Do you recommend the morning or
• 1:19:44
  the evening? I mean, you're the expert here. Let's let's let's get
• 1:19:47
  back to this. Um, if you guys wanted some medication. We've heard
• 1:19:53
  this story many times. Jazz Corp. Wants to know when to poop,
• 1:19:57
  and it's whatever nature calls, guys, whatever nature your calls. There's not
• 1:20:01
  a line. But that is also a good time. But mobile battery packs
• 1:20:08
  they are cheap. Go ahead and see. Uh yeah, so like going
• 1:20:13
  along with the phone thing, you need your phone for a lot of the
• 1:20:15
  stuff that we do nowadays. Mobile battery packs are super cheap. I bought
• 1:20:19
  one recently. I think it was like twelve bucks from Amazon, say like
• 1:20:24
  twenty bucks, like they're nothing now, but really, yeah, they're super
• 1:20:27
  cheap. Um, you don't need that much power for like a whole weekend.
• 1:20:32
  Actually, they're just not expensive anymore. I highly recommend you grab one
• 1:20:36
  just in case, um because sometimes like crap, we're crap happens to d'ote
• 1:20:42
  at a hotel. You're like, cord doesn't work, you plug it in,
• 1:20:45
  you think it's charging it's not charning. Whatever the reason. Um,
• 1:20:48
  it is very very useful to have that backup just in case. And you're
• 1:20:54
  using your phone like I don't know about you guys obviously for what we do
• 1:21:00
  right Like at UM celebrations. I mean my phone was constantly running on low
• 1:21:05
  because I'm streaming things pretty much. We were streaming things constantly, UM and
• 1:21:12
  going over pictures. You're sharing information, You're getting your updates from the discord,
• 1:21:15
  You're trying to connect with people for food, like, I mean,
• 1:21:18
  you're just busy. It's the NonStop really, it's you're you're non stop on
• 1:21:24
  your phone. Did a twelve hour day? Like that's all ears to it?
• 1:21:27
  Yep. And uh so yeah, keeping obviously your technology charged. I
• 1:21:31
  mean not only that you're taking pictures. I mean you're you're a lot of
• 1:21:34
  the times meeting people that you've never met before that maybe you know from discord.
• 1:21:40
  I mean, there's so much goes on. It's just you know,
• 1:21:45
  bring a battery pack if you can. Um. Who wrote this Watch body
• 1:21:53
  Language? Yeah, no, I actually added it when the poop. So
• 1:22:00
  what I mean by Watch Body Language is that many players have been playing online
• 1:22:05
  for TCO for a very very long time. But in real life play,
• 1:22:11
  there's a lot that actually goes in that's different. And you can go ahead
• 1:22:15
  and read someone by going ahead. And I just drew my cards and all
• 1:22:20
  of a sudden, I'm now with a big giant smile, and what am
• 1:22:27
  I telling? But what am I telling you? I'm telling you I drew
• 1:22:30
  the card that I need or the opposite. I just look turn over my
• 1:22:34
  hand and all of a sudden, I'm really dejected. I'm down. So
• 1:22:38
  your body language of what you are saying it can be turned against it.
• 1:22:42
  But but I would argue there are plenty of players out there who are unaware
• 1:22:47
  of what they are actually communicating. So I would challenge you as we get
• 1:22:53
  into practice sessions, you should be practicing your physical deck because there's something different
• 1:22:58
  about playing online versus physical deck. Know the field of the cards, look
• 1:23:02
  at it, but watch your actual body language that there are, how someone
• 1:23:08
  is sitting, how they're going ahead and positioning themselves tells quite a bit.
• 1:23:14
  But you walk. It's like my favorite thing to watch my opponent pick up
• 1:23:18
  the cards they drew and arrange them in a house order. I love it.
• 1:23:24
  It's amazing. So you mean by going ahead. You mean by going
• 1:23:29
  ahead and by moving those cards, you're communicating information of I have four cards
• 1:23:35
  of a house or you would be amazed how many people put them actually an
• 1:23:41
  alphabetical house order. It's just great alphabetical house order. Yeah, it's like
• 1:23:47
  on the left or they're matching right when I when I played just for fun
• 1:23:54
  zies, you know, when it's me jed or like if it's the house
• 1:23:57
  they just played, they're putting that on the right because that's where the uh,
• 1:24:00
  you know, those works we'll empty or something, and the ones that
• 1:24:01
  they weren't playing, they put them on the back. It's pretty great,
• 1:24:04
  like watching this every game. So when it's just me Jar and Dan,
• 1:24:11
  a lot of the times, I'll put my stuff in house sort because it
• 1:24:13
  doesn't make like we're just we're we're jones and around right. Um. A
• 1:24:18
  lot of the times. I mean, when I used to do a lot
• 1:24:23
  of vault tours. Obviously we got some coming up, but when we used
• 1:24:26
  to do a lot of them, I used to just rearrange my cards all
• 1:24:28
  the time, like in no particular order. I just take you know,
• 1:24:31
  a third one from the left movement to the end. Yeah, you looked
• 1:24:34
  like an OCD kid, just over and over and over and over and over.
• 1:24:40
  But do you I don't know how many people like I could. I
• 1:24:43
  could see their eyes look at my hands trying to figure out what I was
• 1:24:45
  doing, and just they're baffled by it. It was fun. I enjoyed
• 1:24:50
  it. I would. I would also argue, Wookie, though you want
• 1:24:57
  to practice the way that you're going to act actually be playing in the Vault
• 1:25:01
  Tour. So we've built some bad habits. Now you get to go and
• 1:25:04
  check the arking card. But if you're going ahead and practicing by moving all
• 1:25:09
  of your cards in alphabetical order, by grouping them in houses, guess what
• 1:25:12
  you're gonna most likely do when you get in real life play. You're gonna
• 1:25:15
  do that. And that is a big towel for your opponent if they're paid
• 1:25:20
  instage. Yes, yes, I mean, and a lot more season players
• 1:25:26
  are going to pay attention like a few things, not looking at what you're
• 1:25:30
  doing with your cards when you pick them up. And that's why I typically
• 1:25:32
  just leave them on the counter. I told you, like, I have
• 1:25:36
  my hand face down, I'm waiting on you. What the hell else am
• 1:25:40
  I going to be looking at I mean, and to be honest with you,
• 1:25:44
  it serves you know good to look at your hand because I mean,
• 1:25:47
  I mean, you could have an idea what you're gonna do, but a
• 1:25:49
  lot of stuff changes once they've taken their turn. So in either way,
• 1:25:56
  it doesn't matter. It literally does not matter what in your hand. You
• 1:26:00
  have the appropriate amount of time to pick up your hand and execute your turn.
• 1:26:03
  For the rules of the game, like your opponents turn, you should
• 1:26:10
  be engaged with what they are doing. And if that means they're going to
• 1:26:13
  sit there and arrange their hand for you, watch what they're doing, Oh
• 1:26:17
  well, I thought you meant as they never mind it either way, Um,
• 1:26:23
  so I don't know. I put I put body language on there because
• 1:26:27
  what people are doing during their turn says a lot and it might be something
• 1:26:31
  that other individuals aren't paying attention to. It can help them, sure,
• 1:26:38
  And then you got to manage your your your nightlife. Drazz Car. The
• 1:26:41
  drazz Car experience coming to a town near you or not, that's right,
• 1:26:45
  it might not be coming to a town here. Well, if you're in
• 1:26:49
  near you or or Dallas or you know, one of these places. I
• 1:26:55
  can't wait for that I need, I need copious details from the Philly Vault
• 1:26:59
  tour, copious so I have to figure it out actually because the I mean,
• 1:27:03
  I'm not gonna lie here. Our part is like way far away from
• 1:27:08
  everything fun. Uh so I'm gonna see if there's stuff that's closer. Philly
• 1:27:13
  us to be like all right, here's where you go to get a cheese
• 1:27:15
  steak, and here's where you go to not get shot done. You don't
• 1:27:20
  want to go. Just like every big city there's certain place like yeah,
• 1:27:24
  you don't go there. Um but uh but yeah, Like so if you're
• 1:27:29
  coming out, right, maybe you're going on the draft core experience. Maybe
• 1:27:31
  you're going on your own experience. Right, Just be mindful of your consumption,
• 1:27:36
  right, and again how much sleep you're gonna you're gonna get and don't
• 1:27:40
  don't overdo it. Um. And if you there with you know doctor sheep,
• 1:27:45
  and he's just encouraging you to have just one more drink, one more
• 1:27:47
  drink, one more like maybe it's because he's about to play you, uh
• 1:27:50
  you know, first match tomorrow morning. And you should think twice about that.
• 1:27:55
  Why you are in Philly. Do not walk around alone, Do not
• 1:27:59
  go to the subway alone. Don't do anything alone. Just go on the
• 1:28:03
  drast Car Experience. Tickets go on sale next week. There you go,
• 1:28:08
  Yeah, there you go. And if you pre order, we're gonna throw
• 1:28:11
  in some of our kind's corner receiling glue. That's right, it's meffical,
• 1:28:15
  so you might have to uh squint or something. I don't know. I
• 1:28:20
  mean, I got a blabel maker. I can just put it on top
• 1:28:23
  of some Melmo's glue and elber. Yeah, don't mind the label. All
• 1:28:29
  right. Well, guys, I hope you enjoyed our vault to our tips
• 1:28:31
  and tricks. I think we've got We've got a lot to go over in
• 1:28:35
  these next few weeks to get everybody kind of up to prepared. A lot
• 1:28:40
  of people have already gone through this. They know what to expect, you
• 1:28:43
  know, they know what they're doing, so, you know, for for
• 1:28:46
  everybody that doesn't. If you're gonna play, WHOA buy an extra long play
• 1:28:50
  mate? Yes, yes, mine is in the mail. I'm super happy
• 1:28:57
  with my new art design. But yes it is for inches longer than normal.
• 1:29:01
  Basically, every game you need that you you're gonna be that player because
• 1:29:06
  space is limited. When we're sitting at tables. They they make our game,
• 1:29:12
  and they know what they did. They designed it. You know what
• 1:29:16
  you did. Like right, this isn't a thing in magic. You don't
• 1:29:20
  have cards to go, like I don't have thirty creatures to deal with,
• 1:29:24
  Like I've made twelve tokens playing one damn card. Like, we're gonna need
• 1:29:31
  to have more space now to be fair, He's not wrong, Like I
• 1:29:34
  mean, we do need the thirty six inch play man, we need the
• 1:29:38
  three fun I think the oversized one, which is technically like which is four
• 1:29:45
  inches longer than the standard. I like played like I did before I bought
• 1:29:50
  it. I like, okay, what does this look like? In most
• 1:29:53
  cases, I can have my full battle line. In the crazy cases,
• 1:29:57
  I can wrap down just a little bit on both sides. It's where it's
• 1:30:00
  not world. It's like becoming the circular, Like where does it start?
• 1:30:03
  Where does it's in? Does it hit itself? Like because it like like
• 1:30:08
  with if you want to fit it all on the actual map, your normal
• 1:30:11
  standard twenty four inch one, you're going to create like an Oraboris battle line.
• 1:30:15
  It's gonna eat itself. So I have nothing else to say outside of
• 1:30:20
  it is so true. Um, I hope we opened up. Whoa we're
• 1:30:24
  playing there. Shout out to Alex who made it out and Sydney who came
• 1:30:27
  up to join us. Sheep was also there this Tuesday, and a membership
• 1:30:32
  drive for nine and then for twelve. So it is, it is.
• 1:30:36
  It is a ton of fun. But that can happen pretty easily. You
• 1:30:41
  need bigger mats, so hashtag wider mat. Yeah, right on a thirty
• 1:30:46
  six cents playing Matt right after I get the U, the foils and the
• 1:30:50
  and the team jersey is done. You know, I should have never shot
• 1:30:56
  out the two X ray sucks decks, so I could have stitched the mat
• 1:31:00
  together and just have a double wall. X ray starts to many. Yeah,
• 1:31:08
  X ray sucks a lot. All right, guys, that's gonna do
• 1:31:11
  it for us this week. We'll see y'all next week. Be forged,
• 1:31:16
  everyone, stay hydrated, and may the Forge be with you. Such a
• 1:31:21
  dad thing to say. You know they bren't the London Bridges and none of
• 1:31:28
  them bridges bridihal, I know they know the difference. And I just fell
• 1:31:32
  in love with a gangster, so I hold him down like an anchor.
• 1:31:35
  He said, if you keep it unking me sick like a banker, and
• 1:31:39
  know what days I mean
