- 1:53to read. So I mean, yeah, sure, we know you can
- 1:57look at pictures. What picture? Where is this PICU? Sure? Oh
- 2:00it's in our isn't it our team channel? So the team channel you set
- 2:05up? Now it was an off topic. I don't go to off topic
- 2:10very much, believe that or not. Wait, that's a real picture,
- 2:16I mean, or you photos or he just asked chat GBT to generate one
- 2:21that looks like a chat Gypt picture if I have ever seen one. He
- 2:25also put got engaged right under it, So I mean that is reading so
- 2:30that I mean Chat could definitely come up with that subtitle. So I don't
- 2:35know if that you know, if that proves it? Why are they both
- 2:38eleven? I guess that's age appropriate? Yeah, I mean you have to
- 2:43be right Rice in Alabama. This is when you can start. Sorry,
- 2:49sorry all the Alabama listeners. Yeah, there's nobody from Maybe there is.
- 2:53I don't know. I doubt it is. The place is there? Like
- 2:57a hold on? Was there any game stores that had a store championship in
- 3:00Alabama? And Alabama go to the game found backing stores right in our disc
- 3:07Yeah that drop down? Hold on? How do I do we have a
- 3:09drop down now in there too? Or you just got to look right?
- 3:12Oh, that's on the when you submit the thing, the thing for the
- 3:15stuff you know, you know I'm talking about. I don't think any Alabama
- 3:21so clear. Oh, I don't see any Alabama in here. We're idiots.
- 3:24Let's get to something less dumb, all right, versus something less dumb,
- 3:29all right? And goodbye listeners. It was not possible. Well,
- 3:35it's official. Sheep killed Arkans Corner. It's over for moving on. Way
- 3:39to go, Sheep. But we did get the article. We talked about
- 3:43it mostly last week, so we're not going to get two in depth.
- 3:46But I did find a couple of things interesting from this week's article. Really
- 3:53banging out those quotas for San Antonio, I got. I gotta say I'm
- 3:58enjoying this but one notable thing so that a teammate of ours stops crying.
- 4:05Ye yes, x Ray Sucks did make the top eight of Sealed. The
- 4:12person we forgotten about him, He was the missing one from last week.
- 4:17He is also front and center. You can actually see x ray creator right
- 4:23on the San Antonio results page and his mat yep. And you know why
- 4:30we forgot him because he disappeared again. Well this is power for the chorus
- 4:36for x Ray. So yeah, you know, I mean Fatom was also
- 4:42in there, nice and easy to be able to see. He probably turned
- 4:46the wrong way down a dark alley like x Ray does and found himself on
- 4:50the wrong part of town again. Yep, because this is the thing x
- 4:57Ray. Now. Now my bigger question is what is with Devin's shirt?
- 5:02Oh? Yeah, like what is this is some and I don't think anybody
- 5:06got my reference because nobody responded to it. But what is with this giant
- 5:11Gonzala shirt that flaming hobo is wearing? Oh the buff guy shirt? Yeah,
- 5:15yeah, yeah, there's a whole story about that. Yeah, all
- 5:17right, joke you missed it? Yeah really, and welcome to our audience
- 5:27to if you miss that giant discord discussion wherever it happened. Okay, it
- 5:32was like it was the from the the discord discussion. Is this from the
- 5:35discord that shall not the discord that shall not be named? Yes, there
- 5:42was some. The short version, without getting into specifics, is that No,
- 5:46let's get the specifics. A certain individual and that discord was talking about
- 5:55their opponents and at some point make reference to and I faced some buff guy
- 6:00at so play make Obo was like, wait a second, the only person
- 6:04who's remating that could have been is me. So he decided to put on
- 6:10you know, Devin, he's getting them games. Okay, that makes sense.
- 6:15Now, so that's the story. Oh yeah, well I think I
- 6:21found our next team, Jerseys. But yes, nothing new from that.
- 6:29Uh but uh no, sorry yep, while you're stumbling around, No,
- 6:33no, because I was like, there's real difficult. There was one thing
- 6:38I really wanted to point out this time around, because I thought it was
- 6:42brilliant and I know it was one hundred and thirty percent aimed at us,
- 6:46and it's actually in the next bit. So our con nice picture, sheep,
- 6:53thank you. Nobody could tickle you to make you smile. You finally
- 6:56won something and you're still grouchy. Oh here, So I'm actually disappointed this
- 7:00didn't come out even better because like it's like, so he gets up there
- 7:04and he's like trying to force a mean bug so hard. He's trying to
- 7:09frown so hard. That's why we Josh is looking at Sheep just like laughing,
- 7:16and she's like trying to hold it together, and it looks almost like
- 7:18he's smiling or like he's holy in a smile. But yeah, yeah,
- 7:28so it could have been could have been real frownie. I really appreciate the
- 7:30top four sheep from Sealed though, just accepting the award. So that was
- 7:36that was very good. So real quick from Arkhan this and this is my
- 7:41favorite part of this, this whole article. Guys, are you ready?
- 7:45So instead of us morons, right, us far bumbling stumbling idiots trying to
- 7:51put the percentages of how many people were there, they just put the number
- 7:55in it. Now. Yeah, no, they've been doing that. Didn't
- 8:00noticed this the last time? Yeah I was there? Was it there?
- 8:03I didn't think so? So thirty seven folks in ARCon, thirty six and
- 8:07Sealed and Alliance was, oh yeah they did do it for Rochester. Where
- 8:16is Alliance twenty seven Alliance had four people seven because they were stacked, right,
- 8:24Yes, they were stacked events. The only way we can get more
- 8:26than twenty people to play Alliance is to stack the events. But for those
- 8:31of you wondering, we're gonna start at the very bottom. Three poor souls
- 8:35decided that vault Master twenty four was the winning way. I'm assuming they found
- 8:39out that they were incorrect. Three call the Arkans, which one so did?
- 8:46How did any of those vault Master twenty four do okay? Like?
- 8:50I I mean, none of them made top eight. None my top eight
- 8:56a field of thirty seven, I did not face any of them. I
- 9:01mean, I assume somebody had like a banging Shadows pod because Shadows is actually
- 9:05good in vault Master's twenty four and just tried to ride that. You just
- 9:11have to have two other houses. Yeah, yeah, that's the hard part
- 9:15thing about this game. You gotta have more than one weird but three brave
- 9:20souls chose the vault Masters. Three call the Arkans a complete missing set in
- 9:26AOA not even not even represented one, not even represented bro, not even
- 9:33one, not even one AOA apologist could find their way to make it to
- 9:37Texas I mean, Chanka is still for real, right, so like I
- 9:43I, it's time to give it up. It's okay, it's time to
- 9:48give it up, and then we'll get back. I mean I would more
- 9:50surprised if a c other set appeared, but continue all right. Two people
- 9:56chose Worlds Collide. Four people went with Mass Mutations. Oh weird, we
- 10:01have a whole set missing from this loop again no zero dtah, so you
- 10:07DT best set. People, you can take a hike because nobody played DT.
- 10:11You know, it's it again. It's time, all right, it
- 10:15had it had a shot. We gave it a shot, right, you
- 10:18know, we tried real hard, but you know, I feel like I'm
- 10:20breaking up with someone. Six people played Wins of Exchange nineteen Grim Reminders Decks
- 10:28yep fifty one. Yeah. So what we're not sing is a trend have
- 10:35the news set taking over from the last set. But it was not this
- 10:41dramatic ever with Woe in Woe's Heyday, Right, Woe did not eclipse fifty
- 10:46percent? Did it? I think so? Did it? One? It
- 10:48was in the forties. Woe is interesting because whoa early for Philly we had
- 10:56just come out of like this was returned to competitive play, and so you
- 11:01still had so many people that had played Mass Mutations and their Worlds Glide Decks
- 11:05just to the ground that they knew it inside and out, and so you
- 11:09had to really feel comfortable and confident. And that's where that Winds of Exchange.
- 11:15While we could see it showing up as it made top eight by beating
- 11:18me, I don't think that people had enough reps, and so that really
- 11:24helped people back. But as we went through the rest of the season,
- 11:28you saw it increase, and you saw it increase pretty dramatically. Here.
- 11:31It's almost like the experience from last year with Wins of Exchange just allowed Grim
- 11:35Reminders to immediately open up and people saw it. It has legs and it
- 11:41stood the test of time. So far. Top ten houses, I guess
- 11:48there's not very many, so almost all houses make top tens, but number
- 11:52one Geistoid two, Mars three, Brobnar four, Star Alliance five, Unfathomable,
- 11:58six, Logos, Haven't Untamed, eight, Equadon nine Discs, ten
- 12:01Shadows zero. Can you imagine, like pre pandemic, if if you were
- 12:11like, oh, yeah, twenty twenty four, we're going to be the
- 12:13top five houses, and you heard well, geist Doing's something you don't know,
- 12:20so like, all right, maybe that's good. But then Mars Brobnar
- 12:22Star Alliance, Right, you'd be like, wait, what Star Alliance wouldn't
- 12:28have surprised me? Really pre pandemic Star Alliance World's client. Star Alliance is
- 12:33really real good. Bruh it was I suppose I suppose I did. That
- 12:39is still my favorite Star Alliance. Yeah, I think it just comes down
- 12:41to the new set being so dominant that that's why you're seeing it is well.
- 12:48But even when we're looking both Guystaried and Mars being at seventeen of those
- 12:52decks and then there is a drop to thirteen for Brobnar, that that says
- 12:56a lot about both of those houses. I mean, both real good.
- 13:01So actually somebody two people brought grim Reminders decks without Geistoid. That's interesting actually,
- 13:09And so these were the top ten. So Sanctum had three decks Sory
- 13:15and only four. That's kind of a shocker. But I guess World's Collide
- 13:18not really represented, and that's where you're gonna find good. Saurian. Yeah,
- 13:24only other two houses that are there a scholar deck for for Surian,
- 13:31Yeah, I will say sheep Sheep. You and I played sealed this week,
- 13:37and both of us opened up some bangers. Poor Sydney did not.
- 13:43My My gr deck did not have Geistoid though how was it a banger because
- 13:50it was very very very consistent. Sheep had a very very different build,
- 13:56but I had quite a bit of power. I had three good cards and
- 14:00the rest of the deck no five good cards, and the rest of the
- 14:01death was bad. The five good cards made up for my deck, but
- 14:05I mean both scored well, so it was interesting to don't see if any
- 14:09of those cards you could tell us top ten cards that appeared most frequently in
- 14:13our con decks Winds of Death, yeah, number one in here somewhere,
- 14:20number two I had four of those. I had those in my sealed deck
- 14:24last night. Ironyx Rebel number three, I had two of those. We
- 14:30were actually talking about Iron x Rebel. I do believe ironx Rebel in this
- 14:33set causes more issues than any other card here, especially from Mars. You
- 14:39think, I think Rebel, Oh yes, Rebel going ahead and being able
- 14:43to one wins of death. I can bring back my creatures. It's extremely
- 14:46powerful. There two, I can go ahead and Ready, which offers with
- 14:52doctor six Alex, the ability to go ahead and bring in another creature which
- 14:56comes in ready imp proliferator. Yes, pretty silly things with a rebel,
- 15:01Yeah, I do think that. I think, which just allows you to
- 15:05recur whatever you want. Target. The rebel isn't what really makes targets silly,
- 15:09though, but targets solid. Dude. What we really thought is,
- 15:13had we done it, you know, gone back to in the past and
- 15:18you had readone the set to maybe level it out a little bit better,
- 15:22going ahead and putting something like Squawker in instead of Iron next Rebel would have
- 15:28been causing a similar approach, but you would not have had the effect that
- 15:33you would see from Rebel. Rebel is just too good. In the set
- 15:35for Mars Mars Mars Real Good number four, Grabber Jammer, number five,
- 15:41Grim Reminder or I'm Sorry Reaper number six, the Funnel, number seven,
- 15:46Brick Nasty, number eight, Ecto Charge, number nine met and number ten
- 15:52be our Geist. I was surprised by the Grim Reaper having eleven. It's
- 15:58because he had one of them, of one of common in in a house
- 16:03that's getting played a ton, and he actually does a lot of work.
- 16:07But yes, he's the one of common that shows up and kill play Yeah
- 16:12on play he can kill Brio, he doesn't. He doesn't kill Brio.
- 16:18He takes care of kills and he just gets rid of it. I think
- 16:25his art should have had a little Fedora hat on it because he's a mob
- 16:29boss. Let's get into the more fair format alliance. Yeah, yeah,
- 16:36yeah, say what you want for our before call the ar cons deck three,
- 16:41Age of Ascension, decks three Worlds collide. I'm gonna guess that's a
- 16:47one for mass mutation. Uh. Winds of Exchange had three reminders. Might
- 16:53have ran away with this one at thirteen as well. Oh yeah, by
- 16:57the way, x Ray also did Olid Alliance. Good job back, good
- 17:02job it is. It is easy to open those core pieces of a of
- 17:11a of a basic alliance deack in ingram reminders, right, you're talking in
- 17:18here Somewhere's Winds of Death and a key abduction pod, and you have the
- 17:22start of what can be a functional, not necessarily event winner, but functional
- 17:27alliance stack just in like uh some easy to get commons and and not that
- 17:33hard to get on. So it is GRS by far one of the easiest
- 17:41sets for getting a functional alliance without a huge investment or having to go in
- 17:45search of some weird edge case card to make it. I don't wonder if
- 17:51they're taking that that kind of whole thing, because he just made me like
- 17:55a kind of like, I don't know, maybe a light bulb go off.
- 17:59I wonder they're taking that into account when they are designing sets, like
- 18:06the easibility of being able to build an alliance. I mean, if it's
- 18:11a format that's not going anywhere, you would think that somewhere in there,
- 18:17somewhere in here, there would have to be some thought going into being able
- 18:21to build an alliance because it is one of your premier level formats. I
- 18:26don't know, because well so this was actually one of my big fears when
- 18:32they first announced Alliance right, is that they were going to divert resources,
- 18:37time, time and reserve yes to like the thing that wasn't the thing right,
- 18:42like the thing that wasn't the pre construction rare but good combos in ARCon.
- 18:52So you also don't have them an alliances like it's it's it's it's not
- 19:03fun. We went ahead and talked about this at locals this week. I
- 19:07think that the idea of being able to divert attention Wall game designing is problematic.
- 19:15They're two different formats, they're drastically different. In my opinion, Yes,
- 19:19we can throw together an alliance and still play it as your arkon,
- 19:22but I think that it becomes problematic from a game design space when we're going
- 19:30ahead and designing a set. We should just be going ahead and designing the
- 19:33best set that's possible. If that main focus is ARCon and Sealed, which
- 19:37is again playing one deck or playing from your three, Well, designing for
- 19:41ARCon and Sealed are two practices there, but at a third in an alliance,
- 19:49and you have now a third like, it becomes a nightmare for a
- 19:52game designer. I was simply well, so, I you know, I
- 19:56think I was. I was worried about this, but clearly I think I
- 19:59was worried about the wrong thing, right, because I mean, they got
- 20:03one full time game designer and they're coming out with how many sets at one
- 20:07time? Hey hey, hey, hey, let's yeah, we just hired
- 20:11someone. I don't remember his name anymore. Did I hire a new one?
- 20:15Well, I don't know. That person is probably not going to be
- 20:18here to to uh sheep help stock last week? Oh yeah, that's right.
- 20:26Oh so I think that's the that's more the issue. Like I don't
- 20:30think they're spending the night time thinking about it, like they might not be.
- 20:33I don't know so thin, Like you know, I don't know.
- 20:40You would think again, if it's one of your premier level formats, you
- 20:45would put some time into thinking, hey, how are these cards going to
- 20:48enter? And again it can It can happen in a deck, but an
- 20:52alliance it's way easier to just cram these things together. I don't know that
- 21:00key abduction deck, but I made one. Well, but we can't.
- 21:03We can't go ahead and worry about this. If Sealed is one entity,
- 21:06Arkans is second, an alliance is third. Like you cannot go ahead and
- 21:11fulfill everyone's wish without going ahead and keeping it and keeping it evergreen. Like
- 21:17it's just not physically possible. And I don't know why people can't see that.
- 21:22That creates its own dilemmas that we have to be able to come and
- 21:26deal with. As as a key for community was like if the game was
- 21:30bigger, they could staff up, but we're just not at that place right
- 21:33so that it's a challenge. I think if you design the set around not
- 21:40letting silly things happen in Alliance, Like then what was the point of Alliance?
- 21:45Like? That was what Alliance was fore? It's like, how do
- 21:47I use my cars to make something really silly or actually put something? Well,
- 21:52if they let me cross sets, I don't know. You can bring
- 22:00your cross st junk on Tuesday and we'll let you play it, and then
- 22:03we'll mock you a little bit for it, but we'll let you play it.
- 22:06So what I think this is more representative looking at the Alliance build is
- 22:11the impact when we don't go ahead and restrict cards in the new sets and
- 22:15that new set's really really good. If the new sets poor, it doesn't
- 22:18really matter. But when the new set's really good and it's not restricted.
- 22:22We saw Woe going ahead and having some a high amount of builds. You
- 22:26can see groom reminders also showing up, and that WOA didn't Woe didn't have
- 22:32a ton, but it did increase near the end. Yeah, But when
- 22:37you're looking at the distribution for the other sets, I think that those are
- 22:41pretty well represented from a lot of the large sets that are being played,
- 22:47and it means that it's not just a single focus for winning that there are
- 22:49different wind cons for each of the different sets that we can see from Call
- 22:53the Art Ons, from Age of Ascension, from World's Clyde, from even
- 22:57mass mutations in Wins of Exchange. So I like that idea for Alliance and
- 23:03that hey, I can create an idea. I may never pull a deck
- 23:07that does this, but I can throw pods together that will go ahead and
- 23:11do it. I opened it. You can too. I'm simply saying,
- 23:18like, there there there's a control feature and a speed feature for for Call
- 23:22the Art Guns, you can see your your Jenka deck build for Age of
- 23:26Ascension, you can see if for Worlds Collide, we can go ahead and
- 23:29have our rusty lockout like you can find key builds that are here. I
- 23:34don't know. It's struggling with not having the limiters for grim Reminders right now
- 23:41and the speed that frankly the recursion front. Kind of wondering limited Reminders.
- 23:47I wonder if they're going to put winds of Death and key Abduction on the
- 23:51list, maybe just the death. It hasn't dominated our Alliance finals yet,
- 23:59so I don't know if it needs and let's be honest, it hasn't dominated
- 24:03ARCon really either it was really really close at this Yeah, it's just a
- 24:10couple of unlucky rounds. I will go ahead and say the number one card
- 24:15showing up at eighteen compared to second at thirteen in here Somewhere we were talking
- 24:21about on Tuesday. In here Somewhere is a yes, absolutely busted like that
- 24:27that card is. But even four of them can't get you to the end.
- 24:33I mean top four. I had four, so I got Top four.
- 24:36Oh well, perfect, there you go. I had to face fraud.
- 24:44Yeah, yeah, all right. So let's look at the breakdown for
- 24:48Alliance four call the Arcans three Age of Ascent. We already did this.
- 24:52What am I doing? House breakdown? One was Guystoid, Two was Untamed.
- 24:59Three was mars or his logos logos still rocking Top five? That's bananas.
- 25:03That's how busted that that house is still rocking, still rocking top five
- 25:11and they haven't been in two sets. Uh. Five is star, Alliance
- 25:15six is echoed on seven is unfeathomable, eight brob nine discs ten shadows very
- 25:22similar to what you saw up above. I thought Diss being all the way
- 25:26back at nine was interesting to because good Diss housing forever. Yeah, but
- 25:33this hasn't been this has not been good since CODA, they have been serviceable
- 25:41at I wonder how many on these numbers, and I didn't, you know,
- 25:45I don't do a good japp of looking of stuff. How many?
- 25:48How many decks didn't have either logos or oh, I don't know, you're
- 25:56talking in top eights just in general? Well, third for Alliance, So
- 26:02thirteen plus ten they had to be different sets, right, So it's twenty
- 26:06three of twenty seven, So there's only four decks that didn't include geistoid or
- 26:11logos, and I bet you that's pretty close to true. For Arcan two
- 26:17it was twenty five, and three of them had to be wins of exchange,
- 26:22right, So there was only one deck where you could have used one
- 26:29of those houses and you chose not to. Yep, all right, top
- 26:36ten cards an Alliance, boy, this is like most of the deck.
- 26:42Number one in here Somewhere, two Key Abduction, three Moment four, Winds
- 26:48of Death, five was Nature's Call, six retro Technician Lee, seven,
- 26:55Target, eight, Control the Week making an appearance, nine Rebel, and
- 27:02ten was boo. So notice four decks with this, and yet Control of
- 27:07the Week comes in with nine total cards being played. Yeah, it's good.
- 27:15It's the I think's the only one that's not on the is it on
- 27:18the list? It's the only card on that list that is on the restricted
- 27:27list. Okay, none of those other cards are. So my deck did
- 27:33have seven out of ten cards in it. Yeah, in here somewhere Key
- 27:37Abduction of Mett wins Lee, Target Rebel no boo boo boo. Also,
- 27:45but also eight out of ten of those cards in Alliance are all grim reminders.
- 27:55I think it was seven out of ten in our con What would you
- 28:00if if you had to go down that list, what would you ask?
- 28:03Nine out of ten? Yeah, only Befuddle was not Oh oh you mean
- 28:10geistoid as opposed to Oh yeah, I was going with that. But yeah,
- 28:15no, everything in that on that as grim reminders except for Befuddle.
- 28:19Yeah, and then seven of the ten or geist Fine, it's hilarious.
- 28:26Yeahs the new Mega Logos like it does everything you wanted Logos to do,
- 28:33but faster. Like you know what, Logos was the best house ever.
- 28:40Let's just make it better. So I think we're gonna have graft and he
- 28:45has no steel, it has no scaling umber control. So I think you're
- 28:52I think you're gonna ask the question, if you were to go ahead and
- 28:56make Alliance ban right now, would you take from this top ten list.
- 29:03I mean, like it's brutal to do in here somewhere because of the common
- 29:07Yep, it's true. I mean it's abduction hits two sets, right,
- 29:15abduction, but the keeps showing up. The induction has three sets. Bruh
- 29:18common common common common common common, all of the guys to id cards or
- 29:27sorry all all except key abduction from the reminders are commons. And if you
- 29:33pop rubble, you do pop two sets. You hit the set and last
- 29:37set. Yeah, but you know, really hit last set meaningfully. It
- 29:45doesn't matter. Nobody, nobody's playing a rebel back out of winds. It's
- 29:52true, not not. I mean, I wonder if Sith's deck has a
- 29:59I don't exist that has a rebel. No, uh, his well no
- 30:04faith definitely doesn't. But his Alliance deck he has a Maverick abduction pod.
- 30:08It does not have a rebel, not a Maverick. Yeah, so it
- 30:12is a legacy. He'd be real sad if they put rebel on it and
- 30:17he had it and he had to give up his pod because he does not
- 30:21have any rebels. Yeah, I'll just say if it was there, I
- 30:26don't know. I mean, like I I actually I still say it's wins
- 30:30is the card, but like you have to add wins and then something else,
- 30:33something else. So he put wins in in here somewhere out there.
- 30:38You can't have both, and it just hits so many decks based on that.
- 30:44Yeah, and and basically grimmer Meander's alliance numbers are nothing. And now
- 30:48you have two players, one of which is Sydney. Yeah, yeah,
- 30:55I than top four every time. Yeah, Sydney v. Gerlami every time.
- 31:04I mean, I just the problem is is that Sheep is right.
- 31:08Alliance is so easy to do with grim remind it's not easy because we have
- 31:14been theory crafting a lot lately, or at least I have me and there's
- 31:18another person that's on a show that might have been helping me out allegedly,
- 31:27you know, but then we're not going to name names. But yeah,
- 31:33I mean, it's just basically, find yourself a good Mars pod, find
- 31:37yourself a good Geistoid pod, find out what the deck wants to do,
- 31:41and then add a third pod that adds to it. Okay, draft cord.
- 31:45Does your does your quad in here somewhere have a wins of death?
- 31:49It does? Boo boo, why boo doesn't does not have boo? Are
- 31:57banning boo? But the Alliance deck that we're playing, it doesn't need the
- 32:02wins of deck to win, no at all, like most games have never
- 32:07played it. In fact, the key abduction, more times than not,
- 32:10is just to put the rebels and the targets back in hand. Yeah,
- 32:14not at all. Ike abducted for a lot of keys. I'm sure you
- 32:16did. I mean it doesn't. Yeah, it does a thing. So
- 32:22that was your main event. Side events, we have a liquid squash winning
- 32:29from menagure. Oh wait was this is the menagerie side event, the unchained
- 32:34Menagerie whatever. It's a mini tournament that is on Sunday. And I like
- 32:40that there was something for those who didn't make top cut. I think that's
- 32:45a really important part. As someone who again frequently was not in that top
- 32:50cut when I first started it. We want to entice players to come back
- 32:54on Sunday, and this is a great way to do it. I do
- 32:57think it is fun. I uh, well, I was. I was
- 33:01playing on Sunday, so I did not participate in in San Antonio. Uh,
- 33:08I guess not Rochester either. When did I must have been in Roseville
- 33:13that I did rose You played a lot of second member I did. I
- 33:16lost a lot of events stuff. So yeahs it was this time weekend Key
- 33:22Warriors. So he was like me, lost all main event stuff and then
- 33:27did well in other events. So we call out for just stealing names from
- 33:36that a long time ago. I mean, just continue every time we can.
- 33:39I mean, they steal format ideas that turn out to be flops.
- 33:45They steal I think. I think they also stole our a C belt,
- 33:51right, didn't they? Isn't that what happened? That is why, Joshua,
- 33:58so she you left the belt there? Stupidity. I just I'm just
- 34:04sorry. I just imagine josh like naked in his work chair, just with
- 34:07the belt. What to listen? Add hits hard sometimes and you either lean
- 34:15into it and laugh or you just keep going. I have a book for
- 34:20you, Joey pigs a Swallow the Key. It's a it's a children's book,
- 34:23So you're okay to read this one, Wookie. There are some there
- 34:29are some things that you may think but you should not say sir, No,
- 34:34I think it's fine. That's again, we just I. I may
- 34:40think things, but I should not say everything that comes to my mind.
- 34:44Wookie draped a net Runner cards on an ac belt. I don't why.
- 34:50I don't know why I didn't say it. It's not real adaptive on Sunday
- 34:54And no, there's no Adaptive is not a format anymore. And y'all an
- 35:00apologist? Do they play it in Baltimore again? Oh, but that's out
- 35:06on the East Coast, which is the land of the adaptoids? All three,
- 35:12there's like there's like there's like eleven and a third, eleven and a
- 35:17third. What the who's the third? Yeah? You okay, I gotta
- 35:24solve I gotta solve your punchline. At least my punchlines just put dirty images
- 35:30in your head. The guys should be renamed to I drink your milkshake.
- 35:35I don't understand that. But I've been told the car I've been told them.
- 35:42Yeah, I've been told my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.
- 35:45Oh Sam, all right, right now, see even my wife says
- 35:52that's right, so correct, all right. Another article coming out for Tokens
- 35:55of Exchange. This isn't an article, and why we don't have the updates
- 36:00Game Found update Game Found Update number twenty one. Can I continue? So
- 36:09we got some cards to look at? No? No, no, no,
- 36:10no no no. Now that we've corrected you, yes you can continue.
- 36:15Well, I'm just saying I don't know why the Game Found updates aren't
- 36:17also articles on the page because they want you to be invested in the Game
- 36:27Found. But right, you got to be that, be there or be
- 36:29square. I am surprised there isn't like a link on the thing that says
- 36:32check out the new thing on Game Found and doesn't actually have the article like
- 36:37where you actually have to link over to Sadness That would make more sense and
- 36:43central based home base. You know, good idea. I guess let's get
- 36:45into some cards here then, because we did find some tokens. I didn't
- 36:52find anything crazy riveting from the sets or from what they put in here,
- 36:58but the cards look, I realized it wasn't all right. Well, number
- 37:07one we have Wrecker from GEISTLID two power Spector Robot token after re discard the
- 37:14top card of a player's deck. This is actually pretty good. Well,
- 37:20it depends, right, we don't know what haunted stuff is in the It
- 37:24is in the set, so it's very very dependent on that. Right,
- 37:30you are always at high level, you are always denying your opponent a card.
- 37:37Not well, not really, you're forcing them to catch it on a
- 37:39shuffle. You don't really, right, anyways, I'm denying it at least
- 37:44one time. It is not a may effect, so there will definitely be
- 37:47times where you don't actually want to discard the top card of a player's deck,
- 37:52but you have to. Yeah, I think it's fun, it's probably
- 37:57it's probably good bullet But Bill art with the Wizard guy from Final Fantasy,
- 38:04so I like the art. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 38:07I see that. And it's called Wrecker. So they could put in something,
- 38:10you know, to just like his is just bomber Man. Could yes,
- 38:16could just be home like his flavor text is just home. Do any
- 38:22of the tokens have flavor Text? I don't see any. I don't see
- 38:27her now, yeah, we could ask for things we can ask. I
- 38:31would like to become a VP of flavor Text. I don't know where I
- 38:34sign up for this job, but i'd like to do it all right,
- 38:38Uh now I'm just really puzzled. I don't see any s Bomberman in here.
- 38:43Why do you know what wrecker is? Bomber Man. No. I
- 38:50wonder if the two rare guys that let you ward, that would be a
- 39:02whole lot better. I would that would make kind of crazy, all right,
- 39:07Administrator Rivet three power specter robot. When you play Administrator Rivet, make
- 39:15a token creature. If you're haunted, each friendly token creature captures one.
- 39:22There's a little scaling number control. Huh at the common slot. It's not
- 39:27scaling. What do you mean? So play for scales by the number of
- 39:32creatures I make. I mean, if we could spam tokens like we didn't
- 39:37pneumonium scaling amber control, there will be decks for this is good, there'll
- 39:45be a bunch of decks where this is bad. I mean, is it
- 39:50dependent Daz Corps on how many tokens they can make? Yeah, play a
- 39:55creature, capture one and putotentially captured one like this car is fine. This
- 40:01depends on this. Yeah. Wow, this is where you wanting those rares
- 40:10were I was talking about where he moves an amber from every specter or robot
- 40:15and then wards them. Oh yeah, ye plus this plus decent record creation
- 40:20Like, that's that's something that's pretty good. Yeah, maybe this is a
- 40:24city state if you're haunted well, but only token creatures. Yes it is.
- 40:31Yes, it is vaguely city state ed. Vaguely. I mean it's
- 40:36at least anyway plays to capture one. It's a between a three and a
- 40:39four. That's what it is. Depends on our rank. All right,
- 40:46let's move into some disc cards. It's been a while since we see disk
- 40:50Good to see discs back the gate Warden three power Demon. While you control
- 40:55a token creature, your opponent's creatures cannot reap play. Make a token creature
- 41:04really squishy, no more squishing fathom. Yeah, yeah, that the the
- 41:13Woman Knight from Yeah, there you go. Uh, Like, I don't
- 41:21know one this art still reads new Netflix anime to me. Yeah, it
- 41:29does a little bit. It just it doesn't do it for me because it
- 41:31looks too much like new age Netflix anime. I don't I'm a fan of
- 41:36that stuff. It didn't seem to fit with what I expected for this.
- 41:39That's all that I was. I mean, they had all that sun that's
- 41:45no, no, no, no, no no, I'm saying the actual,
- 41:47the actual, the actual artwork sorry, yeah, it's not. It's
- 41:52not to me anyway. This could be a whole new house. This this
- 41:57dude here as opposed. It's not very dislike you are correct, It's just
- 42:00it's a yeah, dark the dark samurai house. Yeah. Oh, don't
- 42:07give them any more ideas. Let me start charging. Oh this is this
- 42:12is another three three ish car somewhere there. Yeah, maybe a two.
- 42:19I don't know, it doesn't think. Yeah, this is the thing.
- 42:21Is there taunts and boards and stuff to make it good. Hopefully there you
- 42:27go, you walk, drink up all right. Cognitive assumption logos spend a
- 42:30long time since we heard from them too. Get a pip a number every
- 42:34time you play it, play reveal the top. Reveal up to three logos
- 42:37cards from your hand for each card revealed in this way, make a token
- 42:43creature uncommon. I'm very uncommon with amber. Yeah on it. But like
- 42:52this is like it's it's not technically better than Visible Hand. And it's like
- 43:00visible hand is the car that I feel like is in the round. But
- 43:02it doesn't matter what's in your hand. You can get too dope in off
- 43:05visible this timing wise, like you have to have four logos cards in your
- 43:08hand to max value this mm hmmm, which I don't know. Like you
- 43:15often get three and then you're able to play it for two, which good
- 43:20number. Then you're not showing anything. Four is asked a lot until we
- 43:23find out that in here, somewhere is in this set or any or any
- 43:28way to be able to archive logos is typically archives, so if you have
- 43:31logo sets, archive that you bring back. But yes, the idea on
- 43:35the base of having four logos cards is car depending on quality of tokens,
- 43:39this card is probably pretty pretty good. Yeah. I think if you ranges
- 43:45more towards four than three. Yeah, yeah, I think this could be
- 43:49good. I think you might want this. Mm I'll hold if there's a
- 43:55way to loop it using it how and keep revealing the same cards. Yeah,
- 44:01there you go. Yeah, that's your I g I still gotta don't
- 44:08know. I'm just gonna keep using my logos, tokens and logos and I
- 44:15don't know if I like this card. I feel like no cognitive I mean,
- 44:22at worst, like, at worst, you're paying for an Amber pip
- 44:27and you do nothing that makes it bad. But on a two card hand,
- 44:30it's still Amber Pip. Make a token creature, you show me other
- 44:34logos cards, then you play it. Yeah right, Because you reveal logos
- 44:37cards which you're on a logo, you're just gonna play them anyways. So
- 44:43like that part of this effect is pretty meaningless, a less somehow, Logos
- 44:47has a bunch of like I feel like this is a two at that point,
- 44:52I don't know if I put it in a three, I just three.
- 44:57I kind of kind of want it. So you score tokens, Yeah,
- 45:00yeah, I mean there's also a question is there are tokens with play
- 45:04effects? Right, So like, well, there's no tokens with play effects
- 45:08because you can't have a play effect on a token because it doesn't get played.
- 45:13It enters play well yeah, cliat right right, the cleric does stuff
- 45:20right, there's yeah right, all right, let's move on to Hunter of
- 45:24Legend. This is an upgrade for the sky people. This card creature gains
- 45:31skirmish and after fight make a token creature pip a Vember. Every time you
- 45:37play this card not so good bad. I like it better than the crappy
- 45:43action one that's action make a token creature from the previous sets. Bad.
- 45:52You get skirmish and then maybe you punch things and make token creatures just chain.
- 45:57It could be that's got amber. It's it's a low value card.
- 46:01But it's not the worst thing I've ever seen, at least common. If
- 46:07it was common, I'd be real upset. I think it's very Sanctum asked
- 46:10of after fight, And problem with after fight is you have to survive Vanctim.
- 46:14Sanctum isn't fighting. No after fight where we're going to go ahead and
- 46:19gain a token creature. Yes, one hundred percent, that's what you see
- 46:21from No, there was Sanctim. There was Sanctum that you've seen WHOA.
- 46:27The problem is is that they're too weak. And that's my worry is that
- 46:30what you're going to go ahead and see it gives them skirmish. So it's
- 46:32okay, it can be weasily. I I do, and I do appreciate
- 46:36that. Yes, thank you. I would still prefer to have the cognitive
- 46:40assumptions whimblical conjuror three power human witch. So it probably must die. It
- 46:47is enhanced with two emberpips. Really you think it needs to die? No,
- 46:52I haven't read it yet. Let's talk. Should we read it?
- 46:54Okay? I got to use my finger hold on when you really dissolve.
- 47:02Uh, whenever, let's back up trying whenever you when it out whenever?
- 47:15When whay you you resolve ember bonus icon, you may make token creature instead.
- 47:30Very good. You just had an omission there of aht read all our
- 47:34words. We got this, got this is This is way better than Gloriana's
- 47:42attendant. When everybody like that piece of jump card, we're making better car
- 47:47We're better versions of cards in the right direction. No, I mean at
- 47:54least this gives an effect that long with its enhanced to and it has enough
- 47:59meat that maybe at last ten seconds. And if we get whitch Queen,
- 48:04we'll do which queen things with it? Yeah? This Witch Queen and then
- 48:10like an enhanced witch with an amber pinch and make a witch token that would
- 48:15then be able to do so which King Shinnigan's with it? Wow? We
- 48:21are in Christmas Land, however that exists? Okay Scoage. Yes, it
- 48:37is better than Gloriad as a tenant. I'll give you that, but not
- 48:42by much. Ah. It depends on the token you're making, like this
- 48:47is an option. Yeah, I mean you're sacrificing right, So staff up?
- 48:52Right, staff up? How often did you actually say an option.
- 48:58Once you've played it, you were locked in to that for the rest of
- 49:00the turn. This one like, but you can play it at Remember you
- 49:04can do that if you yes effectively, it's often the same, right,
- 49:09So, but how often did you ever? Actually? And this lasts forever
- 49:13too? So like, if making tokens is critical to your dack, once
- 49:16you land this, you can maybe keep doing it. I'm not saying I
- 49:20love this start, but how fr that might do something? So? What
- 49:23what is the value of an amber now? Because that had always been the
- 49:28question when creatures came out? Well, is it now comparable a token?
- 49:35Creatures are worth like five bucks apiece or something? Cool? Really? I
- 49:45love you all. Okay, let's look at some of these new tokens we're
- 49:50getting from why not? So? At first, we have a savants he's
- 49:52a two power cyborg action. I'm just gonna say, can we stop using
- 49:59this term? Ever, you may choose a card in your archive and put
- 50:04it into its owner's hand, otherwise archive a card. So basically either action
- 50:09archive a card. Well, we don't know. I can't say that because
- 50:13I have no idea. Well, I mean in here somewhere and then it
- 50:16could be action. Go get a card from your archive and play it or
- 50:21no it just put it in your hand. I'm sorry you don't play it.
- 50:22But if it's logos you can play it. All right, This is
- 50:24pretty good. I mean this is potential. Like, if there's any good
- 50:30hand building stuff in this set, this can make it happen, right,
- 50:37right, But if this set doesn't have like auto encoder, who cares?
- 50:44Right? If this, if you're not archiving a bunch of cards, you're
- 50:45never going to use the bigger You're not going to have your logos cards in
- 50:52there where you want to pull out just that, because that's the thing.
- 50:54This lets you pull out just one card. You don't have to take back
- 50:57your whole archives. This is good. If you're forced into making a big,
- 51:00messy archive, then it's action could be good. And remember this is
- 51:06action, so you can just reap, right, like you can reap but
- 51:12c yeah, if you have board like you can effectively be drawing, right
- 51:20because you archive one house and then you draw back into more Logos cards than
- 51:23Exter and and you keep calling that and like that's if you watch game three
- 51:29against Dexter, like that's what fraud got to do. I got to use
- 51:31logos creatures, and I wasn't even making Amber really, I was just generating
- 51:37draw setting up to where he couldn't do anything about what I was going to
- 51:42do this. This is a card that can make that happen, but only
- 51:46if the set has cards that actually care about you're doing that. What what
- 51:51jumped out at me is the smaller power. But you basically have the archivists.
- 51:55That's here. You're able to choose cards from your own archives to pull
- 52:00in, or you have the flexibility to archive a card. I like it.
- 52:06I want to like that? Is it? That's a step up on
- 52:08archives, because archives did have some poll guys, it's on action garbage.
- 52:16Yeah, but how no, but you have the option you can reap for
- 52:20an emperor, like archiving a card, so like should have more value than
- 52:27one ember if you got a good deck, do you really wanted smoking?
- 52:32Do you want someone to be able to reap gain an Amber and archive a
- 52:37card? Yes? Well, I mean that's better, but but no,
- 52:39that's way way better. But no archiving a card right setting up your combo
- 52:47heck, yeah, yeah, but you need game combos. Hey, if
- 52:57you got three of these out right, and then you all logos, you
- 53:00like, play a couple of cards archives three? What do you mean?
- 53:06This is? This is this is magic Christmas Slam. So I don't I
- 53:09mean, I don't think that you're going to be archiving three. But in
- 53:15that manner, what's interesting is you can archive those three so early on it
- 53:19offers options to throw things into your archives, and then because they're token creatures,
- 53:24you're gonna have a high probability of being able to pull it out to
- 53:27add in later on, to have consistently, you know, three, four,
- 53:32five cards. And while you're putting things from the archives, I'm busy
- 53:37winning the game with grim reminders. Think about turn one and I'm like,
- 53:40I'm on a cognitive assumptions. Show you three logos cards because I got a
- 53:45good job, which means I play three savants down, I play three other
- 53:47logos cards. I draw. Maybe I don't even draw logos. It doesn't
- 53:51matter because I go action action action and use my other creature two. And
- 53:53I'm already so far ahead in hand draw that assuming my deck has other good
- 54:00cards, and I'm just gonna throw, I'm gonna go find, I'm gonna
- 54:05I'll be right back. I'm gonna go find my jingle bells. Hold,
- 54:07then, I just I think that the action is appropriate here because you have
- 54:13the choice to archive or pull. Essentially, what is the archives Archives had
- 54:19to be on the field. It was only one card. It went away
- 54:22very very quick dark archive. Correct. But but that that's correct, But
- 54:29that's an additional step here. Sorry, And so this actually I'll sacrifice that.
- 54:36There's a crappy Mars card that lets you pull something. There is a
- 54:39couple other Logos cards that let you pull an archive card, but they were
- 54:45bad because they don't let you play them. So that first half is only
- 54:49gonna be good if, like you have a muddy motto and coder exists in
- 54:53the set. Yeah, most of the time you're archiving a card. Occasionally
- 54:58the extra flexibility is nice, oh occasionally. But okay, well, somebody's
- 55:01finding their ginger bells. We can go on to snare ginger bells, snare
- 55:06one power from desks, token creature destroyed. If it is your turn,
- 55:12your opponent loses one. This is baby Baby Rockaby Bramble. Well you see
- 55:22that, No, not even Bramble is on either player's turn right now.
- 55:25Well, let's lose one or on if it's there, they lose three.
- 55:30Yeah, right right, It's that kind of thing. So this does not
- 55:35stop my opponent from wiping the board and my snare becomes meaningless. But it
- 55:39was this is not great. See I still see yeah, I see Snare
- 55:45captured one and so snare. I don't know, that's that's where I'm going.
- 55:51If there this is another one that maybe a deck that makes some snares
- 55:57but then has a bunch of Insion or some of the other pro mode cars
- 56:02where it's destroy your dudes to gain things. Maybe might be fine. Fine,
- 56:09I mean it's not. It's not like you're going like this is the
- 56:13token that is the point of the deck. I want to make fifty two
- 56:16tokens and win the game that way. This is one where like if the
- 56:21card quality is high and you make a half dozen snares throughout the game and
- 56:27get their value out of them, it might be meaningful. I guess you
- 56:31make a bunch of tokens, then you gateway, you blow the board,
- 56:36and your opponent loses a bunch Like yeah, okay, yeah that could be
- 56:40okay, But I still don't really love that because you don't leave yourself in
- 56:45a game state where you're making progress again. Next right, Well, no,
- 56:50because you make all your tokens, then you kill all your tokens and
- 56:52then you're like, okay, I have no board state. Again, it's
- 56:55your turn, but I did keep you off key. It's okay, but
- 56:59it's just your ideal. Your ideal situation is not to make tokens, but
- 57:04it's to make tokens in the previous turn and then to reap with them and
- 57:07then wipe the board where you're destroying. So that that's more what I see
- 57:12the plays. Next. Next up is prowler one power elf fief from shadows
- 57:21after reap. If your opponent has more ember than you, steal one.
- 57:25Okay, it's a little Gamsey effect. Mm yeah, I mean Gamsey was
- 57:31not that great. Now this is not that great. It's a catch up
- 57:36thing. Here's my thing. If we have elf thiefs and shadows token creatures,
- 57:39right, I will now potentially accept night maybe yeah, maybe definitely give
- 57:52me one last job. Mmm. I want to purge my tokens and steal
- 57:58yes, hmmm, that actually be interesting. Then like jump cards to steal
- 58:08a whole bit. No, no, we're not purging junk cards. We're
- 58:13purging our tokens, which you don't they could you have to prune your board
- 58:19before you play it? Hm? Oh would it be? It wouldn't be.
- 58:22I have to do them all. There's one last job, all of
- 58:24them. Yet do them all, don't you? Yes? But picture if
- 58:29you're in Shadows, you just simply fight with your token that you want to
- 58:31die. These are all one, so snare Most of the time, one
- 58:35last job was killing the creatures you played that turn. Anyways, it's because
- 58:40you have to read first, you gain an amber, then you check condition,
- 58:44then you steal like they be pretty far ahead for pwer to garbage.
- 58:49If this is working you occasionally, it's quite good. Most of the time,
- 58:52it's not. If prowler is taking effect, you've already you've already lost
- 58:57the game. Well that's not necessary early true, you m already be up
- 59:00a key and then they make seventeen amber and you get to go, Yeah,
- 59:07Shadows, and they better not have seventeen number. Gam has pulled its
- 59:12weights in many different games, both Sealed and our kind. But I'm with
- 59:15you, I'm not super thrilled because once you have three or four prowabers,
- 59:21like at best, you're really ever, gonna expect to fire one or two
- 59:23of them for bonus effect ever, and then after that at least they can
- 59:30reap. I guess that's the upside, all right, these guys. These
- 59:34guys could have had elusive and would have been okay, oh hey, it's
- 59:38better than the next one though. One power a digonon a dodgy on.
- 59:45I don't know why? What are garbage? Cool? H while your yellow
- 59:52key is forged aerialist games after reap capture one. Oh you're talking about the
- 59:59key word it there? Okay, yeah, it's uh, it's it always
- 1:00:05works right, like it's recapture one. That's not the worst thing in the
- 1:00:09world, but there doesn't always work be forged, and you're not forging your
- 1:00:15yellow key. If you got these stupid tokens in your deck, you're gonna
- 1:00:20afford your yellow key because it's if your yellowy. The question is is no,
- 1:00:22you're not gonna make it ever, because all your cards are gonna be
- 1:00:25the stupid area lest they're just gonna die and not do anything. So you're
- 1:00:29just gonna lose this car. Okay, so that's true probler too. If
- 1:00:32we're making fun of that, well, yes, One Power Crappy Reapers or
- 1:00:36one power Crappy Reapers. But this thing, like the question I really have
- 1:00:39is how many cards could your opponent have that, say, if your opponent's
- 1:00:46yellow key are forged and then gain benefit where you wouldn't actually want to afford
- 1:00:51you yellow Key and therefore making this card total trash. Yeah this Sky are
- 1:00:58giving them a pat on the back, not making this card worse. No,
- 1:01:02I'm saying this is why key color is really bad mechanic. Yeah,
- 1:01:09this it's it's a hard, it's a hard. It's like DT again.
- 1:01:14It's like we're putting mediocre effects behind really hard to accomplish things that that might
- 1:01:22cost you something to take it to get this effect right, because it's like
- 1:01:25you had to pay something to get the tide here, I have to forge
- 1:01:29the yellow Key, which if there's a bunch and we haven't seen enough so
- 1:01:32we don't really know, this may be totally meaningless garbage. I'm talking,
- 1:01:36but it's Arcot's corner. It's what we do. But if you're meaningless garbage
- 1:01:39here, if there are a bunch of cards that are based off of what
- 1:01:43your opponent has forged, and I know you have them, and now I
- 1:01:46know, I don't want to forge the yellow key because I'm less likely to
- 1:01:50get effect out of it. Out of this than the strength you're gonna get
- 1:01:53from whatever cards you have based off of my yellow key being forged just ruins
- 1:01:59this medium oocre effect. Like this car could just be recapture one and it
- 1:02:02still wouldn't be good unless there's a card in house that says forge your yellow
- 1:02:10key and literally toss this card. This becomes really problematic, and even that's
- 1:02:16going to be buried like it. There's too many boundaries that you do not
- 1:02:21gain the benefit picture Savant, Snare and Prowler I gain, especially Savant,
- 1:02:25I gain it right away. I can go ahead and archive that car.
- 1:02:29I can go like so destroyed for Snare. Yes, you may have zero
- 1:02:32amber and that's a that's a bad feel beads moment, But outside of that,
- 1:02:37I have any amber and it's gone right away. Aerialists, it's a
- 1:02:40much higher threshold to be able to get to a yellow key. I mean
- 1:02:46with get you a key that's worse than this from Wow, so much fun,
- 1:02:58you know, it's rare more fun about Snare. Now I'm thinking about
- 1:03:01it, It's like it's one of those things where when I'm playing against you
- 1:03:06and because I'm always playing fraud, and I see you have a board of
- 1:03:08snares, and I go, I'm just gonna creatures so you can't fight into
- 1:03:15me. And now you can't use your amber control unless you have cards in
- 1:03:20your hand that let you destroy your own creature. I guess what. You
- 1:03:22can also just poison and wave them all to death too, And it doesn't
- 1:03:24matter because it's only if it only takes effective it's their turn. Sure,
- 1:03:29but it's just funny where Snare like doesn't even have like the choice of omni
- 1:03:35destroy myself. I mean this might be better than the Strange should have omni
- 1:03:45yep, that's what Snare needs. Or if you just have you can just
- 1:03:49have damage pips in your deck too. That'll do it. Boss, now
- 1:03:53going to be linked to garbage you get, Hey, you get a free
- 1:03:59momoleficorn with every disk stick that has Snare. Yeah, okay, bot is
- 1:04:06worse than any of these. Uh maybe now it is? It is awful
- 1:04:15Like if you have yeah mid game, they are five crappy reaps. The
- 1:04:21error lists is at least five crappy reefs, potentially with capture which yeah,
- 1:04:26but you could also potentially use a better card, so I don't know it's
- 1:04:30it's in the same category. I don't know that bot's definitively worse, like
- 1:04:32this card is pretty bad. So I guess what's interesting to me is the
- 1:04:38idea that savants to but the others snare, Prowler and aerialists are all ones.
- 1:04:44And we really saw that in Woe. Our small little one power creatures
- 1:04:50just died. I am not seeing the damage that potentially was there in Woe,
- 1:04:56and so that may keep them around a little bit longer, but you'll
- 1:05:00see it when you're playing against it and your entire board gets slats the old
- 1:05:04and set who knows, Yeah, I mean splash damage, but individual damage
- 1:05:09pips I'm not seeing. But outside of that, I thought that we would
- 1:05:13learn our lesson. I don't know why these are all sitting at ones when
- 1:05:17I mean, if you want to do ones, at least put them at
- 1:05:19one with one armor, but just one power by themselves, I think is
- 1:05:24very weak. And these are not these are but these but these aren't.
- 1:05:29But I'm saying, increase the power. The idea for them all being ones
- 1:05:32is they're just two weaks. You know what aeralists needs a red Oh gosh,
- 1:05:41all right, let's talk about Niffles because you know, you know I
- 1:05:45don't bring it up well a special. This is the special here. We
- 1:05:51need more trash cars with the keyword Niffle on it. That's exactly what we
- 1:05:56need to Thank you, all right, Niffle Bruce, You're welcome four power
- 1:06:00beast Niffle destroyed, return car, return Niffle or return a Niffle card from
- 1:06:09your discard pile to your hand. Now with every Niffle brute free a charge,
- 1:06:15not gonna charge extra. You're gonna get a Niffle sanctuary. It's an
- 1:06:19artifact. It could be grounds, buddy. So yeah, you know,
- 1:06:27why is there no solace in the fact that it could be worse action?
- 1:06:31Make a Niffle brute until the end of the turn. Each Niffle brute gains
- 1:06:38after fight, gain one. Okay, why is this bad? No?
- 1:06:44I I actually think this is better than the other Niffle cards we've seen.
- 1:06:46I mean, this is this is better than Warrior. It's full power in
- 1:06:53just in looking at these cards. Okay, so you can with my thoughts.
- 1:06:58It does demand you bring a Niffle card from your just card appile to
- 1:07:01your hand. Correct, that could be bad. Well hold on, ye,
- 1:07:06that that is funny. Like you're getting hand choked on off turns because
- 1:07:10they're making you dry your niffle garbo. Yeah, they board wipe you.
- 1:07:14It's like shit, Now I got a bunch of vol tapes again. All
- 1:07:16Right, I fight because you know they're gonna put freaking niffle apes in the
- 1:07:20sense it's gonna be all right, I fight your niffil ape put in this
- 1:07:24card. Now, I fight your Niffle brute, so you can put that
- 1:07:26niffle ape back in your hand. Yeah. So the fact that these cards
- 1:07:30exist makes me think that this is also going to be tied to you having
- 1:07:33niffles in your deck. So niffle apes and niffle Queen's I don't. I
- 1:07:40don't know. I might be okay actually for a queen, I do.
- 1:07:44I mean, the artifact is not bad like fighting with a four power creature
- 1:07:48in the game one one, if it survives and if it doesn't. Right,
- 1:07:54if you're doing the fighting returning stuff that you're gonna be able to immediately
- 1:07:58use. This would have been should it better? It should have read each
- 1:08:02Niffle brute games before fight gain one number. I like that better? Sure?
- 1:08:13I mean, I don't know this. This doesn't seem Niffle Sanctuary could
- 1:08:17also read all your Niffle creatures coming to play ready. Well, okay,
- 1:08:24except we've already learned how that level of card is game breaking often, so
- 1:08:32maybe we keep Niffle Ape and Niffle Queen are breaking nothing, sir, no,
- 1:08:38no, no no, But what other Niffles? What other niffles are
- 1:08:43there? You have Niffle Kong right, the Niffle ground. It might be
- 1:08:50a Niffle card, probably is I don't know this, this is ah,
- 1:08:58I guess even if it did make the naw oh yeah, if this did
- 1:09:03make niffles coming ready, I guess that actually isn't that bro like b zerkers
- 1:09:08did that all on their own anyways? Would be that broken? Yeah?
- 1:09:13Like, if this means we get more Niffles and set, that's real sad.
- 1:09:20I mean, and there's there's gonna one your hand, right, there
- 1:09:27will be that one deck with that pipped out Niffle ape that you're then gonna
- 1:09:32like just go nuts, figure out way to go nuts with here, right?
- 1:09:35Maybe that maybe they'll make trash sniffle, and he'll be like, scrap
- 1:09:42deal three damage. Trash trash trash sniffle play, lose the game, You're
- 1:09:50bad, go back to the drawing board. But and I'll also have a
- 1:09:55scrap effect that says scrap deal three damage. So you never play your trash
- 1:09:59nuffle. You can only scrap it and then you destroy Neffel Brute, you
- 1:10:01bring it back and you scrap it again, right, scrap I mean this,
- 1:10:06Never roll a sex and then you wild wor a whole into your trash
- 1:10:10nefle and lose the game. Really, this this fiffle sanctuary. This will
- 1:10:19be something that will try to get a fun deck with that'll be not like
- 1:10:24actually good, but like fun good. No, no, I don't,
- 1:10:28I don't. I'm not chasing this. Anything with the word fun in it
- 1:10:31is not going to be good. Ever. I'm going to get this,
- 1:10:35and I'm going to be sad. I mean often maybe I don't know.
- 1:10:41You're going to open it and you're gonna be like, because I'm going to
- 1:10:44be sitting in locals and people are gonna consistently go ahead and kill my niffles
- 1:10:48to return them to my hand because I'm forced to. I really want to
- 1:10:53see that destroyed effect if destroyed on your turn, Like oh yeah, all
- 1:11:00all, that's what we're talking about. Hold on, if I just Troy
- 1:11:02the Niffle on your turn, I get to choose a card you take back.
- 1:11:05Huh yeah, yeah, here have all these junky nipples. Yeah,
- 1:11:12I just I just thought, because all Niffles are junk, I don't think
- 1:11:14there's a single good Niffle n he's gonna be in set. I guess maybe
- 1:11:20he will be, because I mean it is a Niffle centric card, so
- 1:11:24why not yolo? All right, let's move into redemption. I feel like
- 1:11:31we really I feel like we really phoned it out on the name for these
- 1:11:36guys. Anybody else, Yeah, you don't feel like it was just kind
- 1:11:41of phoned in. I mean that sounds doesn't feel worse. No, no,
- 1:11:48it doesn't feel I mean they're all relatively straightforward, like untamed right logos,
- 1:11:57disc they're they're perfectly good brandom words. This is weird because also like
- 1:12:03partying a disccard like I don't know, yeah, they should have thought about
- 1:12:09that one. But AnyWho, this should have been a house of snakes,
- 1:12:13so you can see they could still have a snakehouse. Great, we've now
- 1:12:16given them two different houses in this castle. There you go, you can
- 1:12:21make that joke. It's just just the wait, they'll steal all all already
- 1:12:27is in two sets. All right, Intrepid Exemplar four power two armor night
- 1:12:32Mutant, come on, damn taunt after after fight slash destroyed, make a
- 1:12:40token creature. He replaces himself. What a what a caring folk. No,
- 1:12:46he's not a creature. Same mistake I did where we were looking at
- 1:12:53the linked rarity of the devil Brute. Here was like another artifact creature and
- 1:12:58you're like, oh, this is another linked combo. And then it's like,
- 1:13:00wait, this isn't a token creature. That would have been that would
- 1:13:02have been a token that would because like this would have been a good token
- 1:13:08creature. Yea, take notes, loop and take notes. Anyways, Just
- 1:13:14move the text down a little bit and token to this car. Yeah,
- 1:13:16just and you look and go, well, we haven't seen anything. I
- 1:13:19do believe we saw five two sount replaces it something. It has taunts and
- 1:13:28you could go ahead and get rid of the destroyed. But even here we
- 1:13:31want to it's fine. It is fine where it is. Just think about
- 1:13:35though, if dav and a mutant token existed, that would be when you
- 1:13:43play or is it when they enter? I think it's when you play.
- 1:13:45I don't think it's when enterest place, so I don't think it works like
- 1:13:48that. But let's read. Let's read the out posts are these cards?
- 1:13:53Length is important to note that if you have no cards remaining in your deck,
- 1:13:56you won't be able to make any additional token creatures until you have a
- 1:13:59chance to rea shuffle your square pile back in your deck. Usually this only
- 1:14:01happens when you require to draw a card your hair. Never mind, it
- 1:14:04doesn't say you have to play mutant creatures for daph. So we don't know
- 1:14:10if these are linked in any sort of way, but they're together, so
- 1:14:14I'm gonna say they are. Whether that's I'm gonna say they're not because they
- 1:14:16I don't think so. They don't have linked rarity icons, but it's a
- 1:14:20lot of a lot of cards in this set don't have linked rarity icons,
- 1:14:26and they come with each other, and it happens a lot in Geist do
- 1:14:30you get that? And Geist died? They have the linked prariity icons the
- 1:14:36playmates do the playmates have linked arity because they are linked, linked to mischievous.
- 1:14:43Well, while you guys are arguing, I'm just gonna say that GIG
- 1:14:46is still going ahead and deciding if they're linked or not. So whatever we
- 1:14:49tell them, they'll do. Yeah, so this card's linked. We're designing
- 1:14:54the set right now. That's right. I mean, that's like they are
- 1:14:57right, because like nobody knows, nobody knows. You don't your truth hurts
- 1:15:02so much. We are right now, right now, we're making it.
- 1:15:08When we're done here, I submit a report and then they make the set,
- 1:15:13and then they send me a paycheck. You get a paycheck. I'm
- 1:15:18talking. I'm talking to thank you, thank you for your donation to the
- 1:15:23swear dri your weekly paycheck. Okay, uh, but glad to see outposts
- 1:15:30are back, not action. Put a friendly creature on the bottom of its
- 1:15:34owner's deck. If you do make a token creature, ready it and fight
- 1:15:38with it. I want to back up with your your statement. I think
- 1:15:44terribly. Yeah, the outposts were good in woe. They were crucial to
- 1:15:48have the right one, and they offered ability to be able to pull back
- 1:15:54your token creature that was out that you needed to make sure that key card
- 1:15:58was returned. This one. Not only Okay, put a friendly creature on
- 1:16:02the bottom of your deck. That's that's we got this that standard out posts.
- 1:16:08If you do make a token creature, that's pretty standard. But watch
- 1:16:11ready it and fight with it to kill spell possibly depending on the token on
- 1:16:18the token, because it's like I have a prowler. Yeah, go ahead
- 1:16:24and send that one power out to fight. Yeah, I mean is okay
- 1:16:30snare that just means that just says tap this card, your opponent loses one
- 1:16:33number. Okay, Look it's potentially unusable with niffl brute junk in your head.
- 1:16:44No, because it's then then you're gonna have like when you have like
- 1:16:49blur and then your blow can't even fight, can't fight fight, it can't
- 1:16:55read. So it's your the other one it doesn't exist. Uh, the
- 1:17:00ones that doesn't set strange cell, strange shell. Yes, I wonder there's
- 1:17:06gonna be legacy houses as chases. That was the six hundred thousand dollars stretch
- 1:17:14goal. I just made that up. Would be good. Uh if just
- 1:17:21looking at the token selection from the previous set, which had the number one
- 1:17:28fighting his house in it, most of those tokens you don't want to fight
- 1:17:32with, right, Like most of them are terrible at fighting. All of
- 1:17:38the tokens they showed us here snare, I guess is kind of okay because
- 1:17:41it can make them lose an amber. But you fight with wreckers or airlists,
- 1:17:46right, you don't want to fight with any of this junk. Yeah,
- 1:17:51yep, this is gonna be so it's gonna be like this might be
- 1:17:56a bad outpost. But thinking about that, does that mean all the houses
- 1:17:59are going to get an out post? Well? I wonder if it means
- 1:18:02how crazy logos could be? Oh yeah, or are they going to make
- 1:18:09it really bad? And it's going to be a token on the bottom of
- 1:18:11your deck? Draw one card and it's just gonna be like a a bad
- 1:18:15library old. I mean, that'd be better than the library. But it's
- 1:18:25logos, so it will be Put a friendly token creature on the bottom,
- 1:18:29and go ahead and archive all of your hand and draw another seven cards.
- 1:18:34I'm trying to find I thought we saw the top the archive two of star
- 1:18:39lines. Mm hmm. That's a good card. It is a good outpost.
- 1:18:46Didn't we see a token creature from redemption? Already? They do you
- 1:18:53know what they do? They do yeah, which archives two from your discard
- 1:18:58pile. That's what they do. No, Guardian was the other token we
- 1:19:01saw way back when it's the one power to armored creature. So not great?
- 1:19:06Who not great? You know? Actually, I wonder if this means
- 1:19:11so vindication as I wonder if this means that whatever what was the name of
- 1:19:16this house, whatever it is, redemption, redemption has fight effects, right,
- 1:19:25yeah, why do I We don't know that yet. We'll say I
- 1:19:31now desperately need a house called disappointment. Well, I mean I think,
- 1:19:36I mean it's so far it's looking like Skyborne right his house disappointment, just
- 1:19:42looking at the cards just right here. But you know, well, we'll
- 1:19:45say ambers, guys, I mean I hope not. Hey, when we
- 1:19:53were talking about our last the all the stats, it does seem to be
- 1:19:58between one to two sets. We have a set that kind of bombs and
- 1:20:03I guess what, guys, we're overdue. Well because we have WHOA and
- 1:20:12then grim reminders. I'm sure they know they can't have a bad set and
- 1:20:15they should test that, right, Nope, I don't think they do.
- 1:20:18Wait a second, you know, we haven't gotten a stupid pole in a
- 1:20:24while. We get a stupid pole. Stupid pole. Don't you remember for
- 1:20:29a while they had carry around? Is that the thing you're getting hit with
- 1:20:34right now? Don't you remember they were doing those dumb poles where it was
- 1:20:39like, what storyline would you like to see finish? Maybe the equadnt corner
- 1:20:44of the fish market. Maybe maybe they only did that once. Oh that
- 1:20:48was kind of fun. I enjoyed that. I mean, it's better than
- 1:20:53nothing, all right. I mean, and why is that pole not on
- 1:20:57Keith forging dot com? What is the what's the token that is replacing prospector
- 1:21:02one power destroyed, draw a card? None? No, no, no?
- 1:21:06What what can we do? What? Right? What? What would
- 1:21:12really be if there was a car if there was a token that said destroyed
- 1:21:16your opponent's discards, one card from their hands, make smoko a token destroyed
- 1:21:21archive top card. That's fine too. But I was saying, like,
- 1:21:25if you want to do a prospector, let's do the inverse in diss But
- 1:21:30we only already have a one power token that would be that would be pretty
- 1:21:33good, right, and up your board and dis like chucks their hand.
- 1:21:39Yeah, like just destroyed. Well you gotta make it, but you gotta
- 1:21:43do like five power or whatever, because they got to make it powerful,
- 1:21:45right do they want to? If we want to destroyed, I'm fine with
- 1:21:50it being one here. Maybe it should be like a three power destroyed,
- 1:21:56your opponent discards one card at random from their hand. If I make a
- 1:22:00car and it's gonna be like when you reap with this, it counts for
- 1:22:02three rule of six counts that's what No, yeah, that's that's called rule
- 1:22:13of So what what does it do if it counts as two rules six activations?
- 1:22:21Well? What if what if you what if you played it and then
- 1:22:25readied it? So then like like you've already used it four times? Could
- 1:22:31you? Why is there not a like if you have? That's what is?
- 1:22:38This car comes into play ready and stunned. That's right there. And
- 1:22:45then and then it says this creature removes a stun ready this creature, it's
- 1:22:51like destroyed. You return to Phosphorus Stars for you to start by tad going.
- 1:23:00But like we can make some k It's just awful. It's just called
- 1:23:04jank dot deck. This is terrible. It's just are we trying to It's
- 1:23:14house disappointment, the house where we just make terrible game actions, right,
- 1:23:17they're not necessarily bad, but they're just all incredibly useful or useless so that
- 1:23:24Josh can see reprints we get to use. Yeah, but then but then
- 1:23:30your yellow key is forged, then is there gonna be am if you have
- 1:23:38zero ember. This creature cannot reap unless the tight is high. This creature
- 1:23:44cannot fight unless your red key is forged. Wouldn't that be horrible? On
- 1:23:48the Tide card doesn't get brought in because there's no I guess that that would
- 1:23:54bring the Titan right, because it's a card that references the title water.
- 1:23:59Come on, why a drinking water? Now? The better be vodka.
- 1:24:02And then the card also needs if your opponent has Sanctum in their back action,
- 1:24:10gain three amber, just to punish him more for playing Sanctum. Yeah,
- 1:24:14shouldn't it. Shouldn't we have a car that Joker quits again. He
- 1:24:20already can't quit TWICETI Pok. He's already off running with Star Wars, which
- 1:24:29just screwed their face. Well, he just had his pre order canceled,
- 1:24:30so you know, maybe they just screwed their fan base. Hardcore that's fun,
- 1:24:39but this, just this, just in Ghost Galaxy has canceled most of
- 1:24:42everyone's game phones, so what good luck? No refunds. They could print
- 1:24:46their own. I mean, if I could have my seventy two dollars back,
- 1:24:50but keep my store, vote you take it? You would take that,
- 1:24:57I would take that. I have more grim reminders. You can.
- 1:25:02They're at your store. Go get Michael. Do we have anything else to
- 1:25:06say? No, we're just making up stupid ideas. Which well, now
- 1:25:12that we're at the end and we've bored everybody to death, the what was
- 1:25:16run by them and the the charity event he ran is being run again,
- 1:25:25but it's being picked up by some youah, some folks from Illinois. Is
- 1:25:30it still being running Kansas City? No, indeed, it is going to
- 1:25:34be run October twelfth this year, somewhere in Illinois somewhere. Oh, so
- 1:25:42we're sleeping at your house. I mean, very much depends on where in
- 1:25:46Illinois, right, if you're to do that, that's true. Well,
- 1:25:51he looks it up. Yeah, I had the way to have this organized
- 1:25:56for us. I didn't even know about this, but I'm excited now.
- 1:26:00I got a good time. I super far north. I'll just I'll just
- 1:26:02sleep in the parking lot of the Mars Cheese Castle and just com. The
- 1:26:06problem is we have too many channels. Guys. Well, I've tried to
- 1:26:13don't say that's a I don't have a details. They are finalizing their details,
- 1:26:18but they have got it set for October twelfth. It will be a
- 1:26:21one day this one, not a multi day event. So watch watch our
- 1:26:27discord because it will definitely hit there. Well, that means more time for
- 1:26:30drinking, so you know, it just means the dass core experience. It's
- 1:26:38even bigger jazz. You want ahead and told me that my clear liquid was
- 1:26:43not good enough. There go, I have a I have one final day
- 1:26:48tomorrow and report cards are done. Pro boy, nice man. I'm going

- 1:26:57feel old. I hope that graduation the fifth grade graduation I had to go
- 1:27:00to because that was rigid, sounded rough. I mean, I'm assuming they're
- 1:27:06just gonna be like, they're just gonna say a name and hand them a
- 1:27:10thing, and then we're all gonna go kay and then eat lunch, and
- 1:27:13then this is where I've become a grumpy old man, and then go to
