  Speaker 2: One day you'll understand that reference. I hope you do.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I was gonna ask, what is what is red shirt
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: in key fordge term?
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's not a key fordge. It's a totally a star.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: It's totally a star Trek.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what you're saying to him in Star Trek.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: But I don't wanna, you know, I don't want to
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: give it away. So I'm wondering if there's a reason
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and that Dexter is no.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Just you hang around with Dexter long enough, you know
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: he's probably the one that's going to die in the
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: in the in the away party. Just learn, you learn things.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: He's you know, he's still young and he's like, oh
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: look piece of candy, like or he gets into some
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: strangers all blacked out van you know, things like this.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: So that's our thing, as Dexter does. A piece of candy,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: piece of candy, A piece of candy. Yeah, but we
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: got lots to go over today, no time to waste.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know if we're gonna we're gonna need the
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: full hour. I think you.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Want to skip the uniques and articles.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I think we should. What are your feelings called you're
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: good with skipping? I mean Carl's Junior is going to
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: be upset at us, but I think this week they'll understand.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: We we can save the you. But I think we
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: hit marketplace and events because it kind of wraps us
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: into the main topics we're going to be talking.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: All right, So let's go through the marketplace. I'm gonna
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: put it into as we speak, I'm putting it into
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: my Google browser to find out where we are. Gamers
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Guild still looks to be the best deal that you
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: can get. Sixty eight to fifty two for a box
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: of Normal Beyond the Gates kick Starter edition. You're looking
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: at one.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Nine yep, and then pre orders.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to look at preorder. Yeah, ninety four forty
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: nine for pre orders for Trial by Frost is where
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: you're looking at for and that is also gamers Guild.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: So go shout out Tom.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I think Gamer skilled sold out right.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I know I can still, I can still order it.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: So I knew that game Nerds had for preorder.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Game Nerds, I can go to Game Nerds too.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I didn't know Gamer Guild. Gamers Guild had it as well.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: They have the same price.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, gamers Guild eight is these these are the cheapest prices.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: There are some boxes buyer wow. Okay, so Gamers Guild
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: still got it cheaper than eBay. Say, there's a few
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: places on eBay where you can find them at, like
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: on the lo loo. But like buyer Beware, obviously it's
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: eva like probably you know, use use your use your
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: PayPal accounts so you can get your money back when
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: somebody sends you an empty box or some stupid something
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: stupid like that.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: As of now, gamers Guild does show fourteen in stock
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of pre orders for Trial by Frost. However, and this
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: is something that we'll talk about when we dive into
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the articles. If you pre order from gamers Guild or
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Game Nerds, from my understanding, these online preorders are for launch,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: not for pre release, so these will not arrive and
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: or ship until the thirty first.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: So oh, so you will not get these for the
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: pre well, because the pre release is the seventeenth, correct
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: twenty four, the seventeenth. We're talking. I'm getting my dates
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: mixed up. It's been a long week, but yeah, okay,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: so good to know there. Do we just get rid
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: of do you want to dive right now? I mean,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I know you said this was going to take us
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: into our next thing.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so events will kind of wrap us into what
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about here in the articles. For events, we
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: have two weeks left of the ACE tournaments, so you
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: have two weeks left to qualify for the Championship, where
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the bulk of prizing is, and then after that we
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: will likely have a couple off weeks where we'll have
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a little bit of fun, and then it'll be full
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: steam ahead into including Trial by Frust. I cannot speak
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: for what the tournaments are going to do, but it
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: should be similar A wall still has your EU time
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: on Monday, your natime on Wednesday. Keelon Guys bi weekly
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: is coming up a go for Altered has been doing
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: a lot recently, but for our Texas Folk pre release
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: that I have tracked so far and these will be
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: added on the altered Coornary dot com website. When I
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: hear about them, Cards and Comics and aegis in Houston.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Cards and Comics is in Conroe. I got in trouble
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: for calling it Houston once, but you know they are both.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Doing up north Houston.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: They are both doing pre release events on the twenty fifth,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and the Aegus one is in the morning and Cards
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: and Comics is in the afternoon, So if you want
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to drive, you can hit both. And for DFW and Austin,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I am still working on confirmation on who will have
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: a pre release and when.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: So for those of you who in the Milwaukee area,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: since where we're going to do by location, Battle Brothers
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: is now offer, which is odd. Battle Brothers is a
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: traditionally a miniatures or gaming place. Looks like they're doing Tuesdays.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: They got January fourteenth, January twenty first, and January twenty eighth,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: which are all Tuesdays. Twenty eighth, fourteenth, Yeah, all Tuesdays, thanks,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: but why are Tuesdays such a popular day to do
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: weird games? Sanctum Gaming is doing some stuff on the
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: fifteenth and the twenty ninth that is down by your
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: boy Doctor Sheep down in Racine, so you can get
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: there also from from Chicago, not too far if you're
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: in Illinois. And Kryptonite Collectibles. That's again Doctor's Doctor Sheep's joint.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Looks like they're doing the twelfth, the nineteenth, and the
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: twenty sixth, so Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, Sunday Sunday.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize that Battle Brothers is doing their Trial
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: by Frost pre release event on February first.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: I don't think that's how a pre release.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Well, you know these are okay, So Battle Brothers, I
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: think if you read the whole title, it's a Battle
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Brother's miniature wargaming. They are traditionally I know they probably
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: might have been dabbling lately. They're traditionally a miniature's wargaming place.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I know they hold some magic stuff because you know,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: magic pays the bills, you know, as it does anywhere.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: But other than that, you know, that's that's that I'm
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: not seeing my normal place that I was trying to
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: get to. Maybe they're not running anything anymore, but everything
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: it's just says standard, which I'm guessing is a constructed event. Yeah, yeah,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know. What other is, what would other be?
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Whatever they decide.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Well, whatever we're doing this week, and you've got some
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: good Illinois places. You got Prism games. I've been there,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: pastime comics, never been there. If you're down in the
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Illinois area. Looks like PRISM's doing all sorts of stuff
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: with altered lots of stuff with altered this. I don't
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: know where this is Muskegan, I bet you this isn't.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I bet you this is in.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: It's a lot in Washington.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Jees yeah, smoking Stogie's and Muscogee. Uh.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: You know, we used to play a game, and we
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: still do. Whenever we have people that are from out
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: of state, we give them all the names, all the
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Wisconsin names that are hard for people to pronounce. Maybe
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: we'll play that game here one day. Oh the games Center.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Look at those Roosevelt, Minnesota, January twentieth. They are not
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: running for a pre release event. I just see these
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: two the rest for them.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: So we might get into some tea when we start
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: reading the articles. So if you're well a drama enjoyer.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I love drama. I also love stirring the pot. So
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: let's get into the articles. We are going to go
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: into these in chronological order. So the first one we had,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: do we do the pre Traba Frost pre release?
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I believe we we haven't read the article. There are
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: a couple cool things to point out.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Why don't you go ahead and point out that from
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: that article, I didn't don't remember anything off the top
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: of my head.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, so this is I mean, I think going in
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: chronological order had you picking the tea first. So all right,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: pre release. So if you didn't already know, because somehow,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: some way, Asthma Day has seemingly been really amazing at
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: letting distributors and stores know that a pre release four
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Altered does exist.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: What you're telling me and what I'm hearing, I'm sorry.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Key Fords used to be an Asthma Day game. Uh huh, yeah,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: so I am quite familiar with the as Actually, probably
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of you are, believe it or not, with
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Asthma Day's fantastic communication skills. I don't know if Asthma
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Day knows anything, but settlers of Katon exist to sell
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: to their people. In fact, back in the day with
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: key Fords, you had to actually have your store remind
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: them that they sell Keyfge so they would actually sell
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: it to you. So Asthma Day is kind of I
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: guess in the EU and overseas they're significantly better, but
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: here in the US they suck what we like to
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: call balls.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I would say if you are a refugee
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: from the key Forge World or any of the couple
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: other TCGs that Asthma Day used to do, or even
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: if you're listening from Arkan's corner, you will be well
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: aware of the issues. Unfortunately, I have done about all
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I can to help because today is the last day,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: which is the tenth of January, for stores to place
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: their orders for launch, Meaning if at the very least
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: they wanted to get stuff for the thirty first.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Today was the last day.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Now now as far as we'll be able to order
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: after sure won't come in time for lunch.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Is there anything special coming in the pre really? Like,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: if I'm going to the pre release, is there anything
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: special I'm getting in in my in my like? Is
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: there any like promo cars?
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: We will have the promo boosters and the set two packs,
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: but I don't think there's anything particular other than that.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So this is this is where there's another issue.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: So I've been working with a couple different people, a
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: couple different stores, trying to get them to talk to
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: their Asthma Day rep to get information so that we
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: can actually have pre releases. So how pre release is
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: suggested to work from Equinox is to do a sealed
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: deck format, so you'll get seven booster packs and then
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: you can play up to three different factions. YadA YadA,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: those normal rules. But it is also the start of
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: season two, and so any pre release you attend will
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: start towards your Season two Adventure Pass, which will go
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: over one of the other articles here in a moment,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and this will be the first chance where you'll be
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: able to get Trial by Frost promo boosters hypothetically. I
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: have heard from a person or two that when they
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: reached out to their rep at Asthma Day, they were
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: told there are no benefits for pre release, there's no
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: promo boosters, things like that. Equinox themselves is aware of
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: this issue and it's trying to get on them about it.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: So we're hiding.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're hoping that it gets fixed with as many
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: stores as possible. The other thing is, I think when
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: attending any Trial by Frost pre release, you'll be offered
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: an Adventure pack, which is a complete set of five
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: premium adventure cards with the new Trial by Frost design,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: So it's the new Tumult cards. It'll give you a
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: full set so that you don't have to buy a
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: starter deck to get them. These cards for the first
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: time will also be in booster packs, but those things
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: are the intended pre release items. Unfortunately, I can't say
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: for one hundred that every store will have them for
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: pre release.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: At least it's not something crazy, right, like uh, you know,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: like Pokemon does their pre release like some of the
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: stuff you can only get in their pre release packs.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: You know, Magic does something kind of similar, but theirs
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: are just like they're foiled stamped cards.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: So yeah, So worst case scenario if a store does
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: hold a pre release event and they don't have it,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I would assume if they do a launch event where
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: they do an op day after they get them, then
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: they'll be able to hand them out there, because that's
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: actually a really good thing for players to have a
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: pack of those five cards. If you already have them,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: you get the new cool ones for.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: Try by Frost.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: If you don't, then you have them to be able
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: to play with anyone else.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: So they say premium, and they like, what's more premium?
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: It's just new art, right.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Just different art.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, I like.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Or like different materials.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden, now they're foil.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Doesn't look like it.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I am not gonna say that I have one because
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I don't, but I think they are the.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Same as strokes as foil cards in the court.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: It is not no, I don't have one, but if
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: you did, it would not be foiled.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Oh NDAs anyways, getting onto it, let's move into what
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: is the Adventure Pass and the season two booster I'm
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: sorry booster promo boosters for season two. So expeditions are
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: the most popular altered events at your local game store
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: store organized weekly events, sometimes several times in a week,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: where you can try your hand to construct it where
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: you need to come with a deck or limited we
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: would be provided boosters booster packs to build your deck.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Game formats. Attending an expedition will reward you with one
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: level on your Adventure Pass provided you've activated it. More
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: on Adventure Pass activation below, and your store can also
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: reward you with promo boosters. They give kind of the
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: the same three card booster pack that we all know
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: and love except for the same Well, really, Dexter, Dexter,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: you're gonna be one of those kids. There was the deal.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's hear, let's hear the scribe Dexter.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: So first slot one, it was originally common, rare and
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: unique foilers, and now they've switched to just rare and unique,
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: which is good. I like not having to get common
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: foilers that probably aren't going to get used.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: So that's how I'm going to change out my entire deck.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: If I don't have common foilers.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Well, those are pretty easy to get in booster packs.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: Okay, you'll probably have plenty of those, is the thing
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: that we're looking at all, right, And then slot two
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: here we have alt art commons and alt Art rares,
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: which before we had had alt Art heroes, and now it's.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Just alt art cards. So that's that's.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: Fine, No more promo heroes just because it's at two now.
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: And then so slot three is now only a twenty
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: five percent chance to get a unique, and it's a
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: seventy five percent chance to get an alt Art rare
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: in the set one booster packs. It was a forty
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: percent chance to get a unique. So that's that's my gripe. Here,
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: less chance to get a unique in these promo boosters pets.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: So I was about to get into that they they have.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: It's still the same three card booster pectough.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, three cards. Percentages and rarities are different.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: The percentages and rarities are a little bit different. They may,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: you know, you especially like to post all of the
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: you know, buabbah busted uniques you run into. Maybe they them.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Maybe we should slow this down a bit. Maybe we're
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: releasing too many busts, you know, with the amount we
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: have to put into the market. Maybe we're releasing too
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: many uniques. I mean, then that could be It could
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: be a burden on the system for all we know,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like and are too many
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: uniques becoming too much alike each other? Where now you
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: know you hunt and seek out three of these three
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: very similar uniques and you're broken and busted. I don't know.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: I'm just still think that will be possible set.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: To I had to let Dexter take the reins there
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: because I am the I don't want to say the
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: voice of reason because I don't know if that's fair.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: But I don't care about this change. I think it's
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: a negligible percentage difference for a better overall benefit. Because
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: in season one you had a bunch of different promos
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: for the heroes. You had common foilers which had a
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: pretty high percentage. You had the Altar tokens.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: Tokens but one of but you don't need more than
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: one exactly.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: One of the biggest complaints over and over about season
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: one was getting the same tokens or the same promo
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: over and over, and people didn't want to keep doing that.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: So people complained about a thing. Season two promo boosters
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: saw all of that exact thing.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: So now also don't forget dexter. It is a significantly
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: smaller set.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: Yes, that's also true. The alt arts, though, are sick.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they do look good. Go visit the article to
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: see the alt arts because they're pretty cool. You will
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: still get unique cards, all of them from Trial by
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Frost will return and brand new mechanics and foilers, but
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: now you'll also get exclusive alt art characters that are
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: featured in the story. There are six of them, and
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: then you can go you know, common, rare and rare
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: f out of faction and you can look at a.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Characters or some of them spells or landmarks. It looks
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: like they're all arcs.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Well, let's let's read that again, Dexter, you're in college characters.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Let's use our context clues. You'll still get uniques. Okay,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: that's cool, but now you'll also get exclusive alt are
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: characters that are featured in Oh, it's just characters.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: You think for a college kid you're reading, comprehension would
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: be a little bit higher. I'm just saying Season two
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Adventure Pass. The Adventure Pass is a fun way to
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: get rewarded for attending any official altered events, no matter
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: your results. Play Altered at your local game store, get
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: an additional level on your Adventure Pass, and unlock exclusive rewards.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: So how does this work? All right? I already have
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: problems with this? So is this where the tea is called?
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: No, we went over the tee with the the change
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: the day being Asthma day, and then.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: No one was shocked. Nobody was. Everybody was like I
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: felt the collective side of everyone being like, yeah, that
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: seems about right, Like oh.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: And then the the you percentage drop. But I will
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: say it was very funny. In the discord, someone was like, well,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: you know, it's Asthma Day's first TCG, right, they they're
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: bound to have growing pains, And I was like, oh, friend.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Oh girl down, let me tell you this is their
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: first TCG. Let me tell you about Star Wars Man.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: What was the Star Wars one they had with Dice, Uh, Destiny, Destiny.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: The one that really really pissed people on.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is the one that really pissed And I
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: think they had tcg's before that as well. That's the
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: one that comes to mind though, whenever you want to
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: talk about a game company completely fumbling Peer Gold. But yeah,
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: at the beginning of season two January fourth, For season two,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: remember to activate your Adventure Pass on your altered account.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: You can find an hunter and then you can use
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: that rut there to connect when activated your when activated
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: your pass. When activating your pass, reading's fundament, you'll be
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: presented with a choice between the six different factions. Choose
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: carefully the faction that you want to represent, because some
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: rewards are exclusive to your faction, and it might also
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: have an impact on competitive organized play rewards later in
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: the season.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Serie, we've kind of been zooming, So here's a here's
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: a good point to ask you to your opinion. The
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: this this part is actually kind of a point of
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: contention to some people.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: I'm irritated about this.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you'll be you'll be a good person to
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: speak on it. I I am a person obviously, I'm Muna.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what any of the other cards are.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I'm going to pick Muna before even knowing what the
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be happy with whatever it is.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: You're talking about picking. You're talking about picking, picking, picking
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: a faction. I'm a pick Life.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: But other people are upset if they play Muna, but
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: they really like the Lyra card, and now they're like, oh,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: I'm so conflicted and whatnot.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: I actually had this question. So if I pick Lyra
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: but show out to my local with a Yazbir deck,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: am I still putting the point? I'm putting points towards Lyra,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: right yeah.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it just it just can only go into one
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: and it's the one that you activate at the beginning.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Yep, And it's just is what you get the alt
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: art of. And then the other complaint is if I
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: finish my past, I want to do another one with
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: you know another faction which you currently can't do, is
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: how they've worded it, but most people, I say, how.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: About you stop being greedy and you.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: Just having all your locals and stuff. Some of us
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: don't have all of that.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Well, it was like, I think the other thing too,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: to remember these are alt arts right, well that we
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: know of currently, right, So for this season, the exclusive
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: adventure pass alt Art rewards featuring the ice bound landmarks
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: with one ton lock, and it's different rarities for each faction,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Like this isn't something you can't go get late, Like
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: there's gonna be regular versions too. Yes, there will be altart,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: but like there are regular versions too, these aren't exclusive, like, oh,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: you could only get these here. So it's it's I
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: don't think it's the biggest of deals. My biggest of
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: deals is this seems like they are very much hard
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: limiting this to brick and mortar stores. Correct now, yes,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: put my push my glasses up and put my finger
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: in the air. There are some of us who don't
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: have brick and mortar stores to go to. I mean
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: I just talked about Sanctum and Kryptonite Gaming, which are
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: in Wisconsin but are still an our trip one way
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: to get there to go and play. Now, one of
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: them is on a Sunday, so that might not be
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: an issue.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: By our trip that's a Texas Tuesday. What you can do.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a long trip, you know, on a Tuesday, right, Like,
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: you know, like this is I'm going to assume mainly
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: played by mostly adults. We live very busy lives in
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, you know, like it's this isn't just
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: easy to you know, Hey, it's this night and I
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: gotta you know, I gotta leave by three to get
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: there by five. You know, it's this, that's where And
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: again I understand it's just it's alt art, so it's
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: not the end of the world for some of us
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: who don't care as much about art, I e.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: Me, it is foilers as well.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean again, I like foils, but I'm probably
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm not gonna I would blinging out your
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: whole deck is fun. That's never been who I am, though,
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: right Like, I'd like to maybe attempt it one day,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: but it just seems, especially right now, the landscape of
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: what we consider meta is changing so quickly. I wouldn't
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: even want to use any of my foilers something like,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: not that I even could, but that I want to
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: use them at any given time.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Just because you don't know if that deckl here.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Here today, gone tomorrow, you know what I mean, Like
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: you don't know.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think this the the response to that
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: complaint is twofold. I think the official position from you know,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: organized play, which is most often justin is the Adventure
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Pass is to hopefully increase attendance at local game stores,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: which has been really hard in the US. There are
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: a lot more initiatives spinning up this year.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: To help out with that.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Asthma Day has zero.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: Help with that, is what I'll say.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: And their philosophy internally is they don't support online initiatives.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: It's been a complaint.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: List say that's Asthma Day as as a whole, right,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Like they just they don't do online, Like they're like online,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: what's that like? The internet hasn't been a thing for
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: almost forty years now, she's forty years o. I'm goodness
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: at this point, you know what I mean, They're just like,
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: we don't know. It was a problem with key Forage,
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: it's still a problem with Unlimited, Like they just they
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: don't want to do anything with online, which is just
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: such a when most of what everyone is doing is
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: online such a terrible response by Asthma Day.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Yep. So I've spoken with the team a lot, and
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: you know, we run the ACE events every Tuesday, which
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: are one hundred percent online. I've asked for the possibility
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: of anything we could give out and the answer is always,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: you know, that's an Asthma Day question because they handle
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: that side of things and then it's a dead complete
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: brick wall with Asthma Day. In person is a little
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: easier because because the Equinox team get you know, marketing
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: products like maybe boxes or posters, things like that, so
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: if one of them can show up to a physical location,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: they can just say, oh, these are my marketing items
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: I'm bringing for this event. So I've seen Loki and
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Justin both be like, if I can make it out
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: to this event and you know there's going to be
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: enough people, I will bring my.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: Stuff to help out.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: So unfortunately, the the online stuff is far far away
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: for now at least.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So here's what I can tell you. If you
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: are close to a store, they're this and I'm not
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: giving anything away because this is what we did in
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: FFG days with KeyForge. Get close to a local store,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: right if you probably already have one you're decently close with,
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: and ask them to just sign up for the events.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: Cover the cost for them. That's what we always did.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: We always covered the cost of the store whatever, whatever
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: the kit was, however much it was, and then you
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: can run your events online through the store wink, you
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: know what I mean. Like Doctor Sheep over by us
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: does it does it actually through through his store? I
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: used to do it through TK Games out here. You know, hey,
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: if you can sign me up like I'll and I
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: you know, they're not technically for resale, but you throw
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: them a few dollars, you know. I think that the
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: things were like thirty five. I used to give them
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: like fifty sixty bucks, like hey, thanks, thanks for helping
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: me out, and then we'd hand out the prizes that away.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: And it's very easy in this game too, when it's
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: all pretty much all digital, right, you can open up
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: on camera, scan them in, send pictures, or you could
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: just send them the pack I guess too. As long
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: as there it's not going to cost you an arm
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: and a leg in the US.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And if you do have a store that's close
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: to you that you frequent, you prefer you can always
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: ask them. The more people that ask them like, hey,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: are you going to carry Altered? Are you going to
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: do Altered organized play, the more likely that they are
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: going to do it. A lot of the stores in
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Texas are probably still going and maybe even started because
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: of the Texas Discord Server and people in the community
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: asking for it. So that's just it's been really grassroots
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: right now. Endor in the live audience chat says, Yeah,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: the closest event is two hours away, so the adventure
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: passes out of reach. Yeah. I got to level six
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: and that was the best I could do. The store
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I go to is about forty five fifty minutes away
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: on a Thursday, which was murdered by the weather this week,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: So yeah this week and sunny we had we had
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: were in Houston.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: What's a winter advisory in Texas?
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: But I yeah, usually ice, lots of ice to too
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: dangerous to drive.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: We had ice today. I went to work.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: We had a little bit of sleep. Yeah.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: I I the fact that Texas closes because when I
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: lived in Utah, it was like you have to shovel
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: your car out and it can barely make it down
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: the road.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: Well, you better be at.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Work and on time.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so I I I appreciate that places are like, uh,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: the roads are going to be icy. People are going
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: to be sliding into each other.
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: How about we just don't.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I wish all right. Season two starts on
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: January fourth. We already knew that and altered events you
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: at tend after January forty fourth. I'm sorry twenty fourth?
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: What did I say?
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: You said fourth? You just forgot the two that has
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: passed already.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: It happens, we'll come towards your progression on the season
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: two Adventure Pass, so remember to activate it on the
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: twenty fourth if you plan on attending the pre release.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: As such, Season one will end on the twenty third
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: at midnight, and it will no longer be possible to
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: create a Season one Events stories will be following following
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: week to close and validate player registration for these last events.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: On and on January thirty first, you will unlock the
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: rewards you have earned through your adventure past season one.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: Yep, yehah, yeah yeah.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: So that's exciting. Adventure Pass for those of you who
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: have locals, that is, you know, this is something other
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: games would murder someone for.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Just saying, yeah, I hate to always compare to Star
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Wars Unlimited, but it's the other game that's newer that
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: I've done stuff for and then somewhat part of the community.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Their promo boosters are not.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Very good, pash and garbage dumpster fires.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: Any promo cards that are just worth nothing from Star.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Wars unplayables, don't get me started. Their promo cards are
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: so bad. But anyways, we have another article.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: We do have another article, and it's talking about season
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: two for an OP program. It's so weird to be
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: on a podcast talking about an OP program at a
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: local store event. We're Trial by Frost releasing at the
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: end end of the month on January for thirty first. Wow,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: reading is not in my sub category today, I've we're
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: nearing the end of season one and the start of
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: season two of Organized Play. With season two, we're premiering
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of new things, pre releases, new promo booster content,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: as well as the introduction of the official competitive events,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: the Temult Championship, which will detail further in this article. First,
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: we'd like to thank everyone for season one. So thank
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: you everyone for season one. It's really been heartwarming to
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: see players embrace the world of altered the cards, the heroes,
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: and deck building decks to explore organized play but with
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: your most powerful uniques or your most fun creations. But
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: we can't forget the artist, cosplayers, storytellers, community builders who
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: are in it for what Altered represents. You also contribute
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: it a lot to what makes Altered the game. It
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: is so thank you, thank you. You know, next time
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: we see Cole, thank them. Okay, thanks Cole for doing
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: what you do.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: If you have not read through all of the articles Unaltered,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: they also often do community members articles just dub maybe
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: maybe keep an eye or eye open, maybe maybe community
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: member articles.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Keep an eye out coming soon. All right, So what's next? Well,
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: next is more Altered because we have a lot in
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: store for you and we can't wait for you all
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: to discover it. I hate that word, by the way,
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: discover discover.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: What did what did discover do to you?
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Well, coming from a key Forge background, right like there
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: used to there used to be another podcast who will
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: not be named, who used to very much talk about
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: the discovery of a new deck and discovery discovery and
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: they just killed the word for me. And now every
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: time I hear somebody be like, I need to discover
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: this set, I'm like, I will murder you in the
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: backyard and no one will know. I don't mean it.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: I'm really a gentle giant. But they just killed that
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: word for me, and it's just now it's over. But
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: season two starts on January twenty fourth with the pre releases.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: The new set takes you beyond the border of Asgartha
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: to Caius Andara. Did I say that right?
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna say yes, and we'll just keep going so
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: nobody knows.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: A steep range of mountains strouded in eternal winter. Real
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: challenges await you as you make your way to the tops,
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: and only the most skillful and resilient among you will
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: be able to claim the title of t Mault Champion.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: But first, let's get a look at the new stuff
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: available to anyone attending an expedition event during season two.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Does it seem like Pokemon to you? A little bit?
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Like we've unlocked a new region? Uh?
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: I mean it's not too far off with the lore
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: in a way. You know, there was the confluence, you know,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: world's colliding, things like that, and very relevant you. What
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: I've been doing today is I started watching Godzilla x
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Kong the new whatever the hell and they're like going
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: down into the what do they call it? The hollow Earth? Yeah,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: and they find out that there's more hollow earth in
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: the hollow Earth, so you know it could happen.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: Is that the new one?
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the one where I think Godzilla gets like
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: the pink spines.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: I haven't watched that one yet, I don't think.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I started it for the first time today, just
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: like watching on brakes and stuff. But yeah, Worlds within
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: worlds not too far off?
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: The pro well where did I leave off? All right?
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: The Promo Booster and the Adventure Pass were widely successful
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: in season one, and they were returning for season two
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: with updates and new content for both of them. An
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: entirely new batch of Trial by Frost unique cards up
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: for grabs inside Promo Boosters, meaning new mechanic combinations and
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: brand new cards so you can find that one unique
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: your deck really really needs. Alongside, six characters featured in
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: the story get their own exclusive alt arts available in
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: common rare and out of Faction rare. Did you hear
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: that Dexter characters? The Adventure Pass not only provides a
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: great chance at foilers, but features newest seasonal badges, as
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: well as new Trial by Frost Alt arts the ice
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Bound landmarks that you can start unlocking as soon as
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: January fourth with the pre release. All right, so then
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: we get into the t MALT Championship and I'll tell
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: you what this reminds me of when we're done with it.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: But with Trial by Forest, we wanted a stake stakes
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: to feel even higher. I added the even and competitive
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: play to be the forefront of the season of organized play.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: For this season, we're introducing t MALT Championships, a limited
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: seasonal event for players to prove themselves and lead their
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: faction to the top. In fact, leading your faction will
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: be more important than ever. More detail for the t
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: MALT Championships, what it entails and rewards will be available
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: around February. For now, however, we can tell you that
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: we can't expect those to take place towards the end
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: of the season. How long is the season and altered?
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Is it about four months?
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: I think it's three three ish, Yeah, a little bit
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: more than three January February March. I think set three
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: will probably be end of March.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Really that quick.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember the dates.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: It might be end of April, say like April May
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: would make more sense.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that'll be it. I think there's there are
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: three months between sets, is what the target is.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: That's quick, one big set in three small sets in
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: a year, I think.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so the season should be about three months.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah all right, Well either way, it's as of one
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: standard construction, where the winner will be rewarded the exclusive
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: champion playmatch each Do you like this one?
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not a huge fan of this art, but I
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: love it and I hate that it has to be
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: an artist character.
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, I'm ready to see that ortist character.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: I think we have have we I've seen this art
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: so many times now, that's ridiculous. This I thought it
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: was too I don't remember.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: All right, too many cards revealed.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: That is not wrong. Each store will have the opportunity
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: to hold its own team Ault championship for season two,
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: and because we also want to reward players that chose
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: to enter tournaments with their favorite faction and not necessarily
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: their strongest deck, we'll also have a reward for the
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: top ranking player of each faction. Thank god, Oh sorry,
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: they say it aloud.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we did this at Packs Packs was technically the
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: first time they tested this, and it was a lot
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: of fun.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: It was really cool, all right, So end of February
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: we were looking at te Mault Championships. This sounds to
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: me like store championships of old. If anybody can remember those, yep, yep,
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: just me. Okay, let's say just me. I'm the old
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: I was drinking water, Okay, but yeah, Stork Champ. Basically
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: it's te Mault Championships. Are they having these every season then?
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Or is this kind of we're playing around with the idea?
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Probably yeah. I will admit that I do not have
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: any secret extra insight into competitive outside of things that
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: are pretty general knowledge being The confluence event is going
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: to happen sometime around July ish in the US, which
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: will be like the world. But I don't don't know
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: if this will be a test like Season zero kind
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: of vibes, or it'll be a thing that sticks around.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not certain.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, once a set seems a bit much, but
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: every so often, you know, like a couple of times,
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: maybe once a year, I don't know, Like I guess
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: still to this day, I'm baffled by, like, what does
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: the altered organized place schedule look like I don't feel
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: like we have like a very like clear path to
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: like what it is. Yes, we know about the Confluence, right,
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: we know that's gonna be like the big end all
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: be all event, well hopefully, but like what leads up
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: to that? Are there other events that are going to
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: be in place that lead up to this? Are there
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: is everyone just in Worlds automatically you can just show
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: up and play.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: That is a yes, I can say, well, I think
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: it'll be kind of like if you've once again comparing
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: to Star Wars, but if you've looked into the Galactic Championship,
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: there is a way where you can qualify to be
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: playing in the specific championship, which is the Planetary Qualifiers
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: or whatever the other one is they have. There will
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: also be a lot of side events and other tournaments
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: and things like that on the same day at the
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: same place that anyone can attend. That'll be the same
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: for the Confluence is it won't be just the competitive
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: tournament with viewers.
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: It'll be kind of like a little bit of something
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: for everyone.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Which is kind of standard for like a World's event.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: I know we've kind of most games of kind of
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: backed off from calling it like Worlds, you know they
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: call it a celebration or what is Magic calling it?
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: Are they calling it a celebration too? I don't know,
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: I forget what they're calling there. Their their championship series,
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: but you used to use far more aggressive verbiage and
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: now it's kind of not.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I yeah, I don't know if there will
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: be like a point qualifier or anything. Hopefully we'll hear
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: some more in February.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Because like right now in KeyForge, like I have to
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: win a vault to even be able to be considered
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: to go into the World Champion to go into Worlds, yep,
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: Like I can't just show up. You can just show
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: up at celebrations, and they do have last chance qualifiers
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: and all that, but like you have to place first
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: or second in a vault to be in to even
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: be in the World's event. Like I had to go
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: to gen Con and place second in gen Con to
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: get my invite to Worlds, which kind of makes you
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: want to go to all these like little events all around,
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: like which kind of made people chase a lot too, right,
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know, again, it's some some sort of clear
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: definition of what what there I mean It's great we
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: have store op, but like, what is that next step
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: up for those real for those real chads. The chads
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: are Johnny's spikes. That's what it is for the real
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: spikes of the group.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. Hopefully we get a little more
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: of a picture in February, because that'll that'll be dope.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, because I'd like to go to some events
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: you know we got, especially in Milwaukee, we have uh
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: and this is more of a again miniature gaming thing,
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: but we have Oh I just talked about it last night.
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: What is coming to Milwaukee used to be in Schomberg, Illinois.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: It's the big war gaming thing. Why am I totally
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: drawing a blank out? But you also invention, it is
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: a convention, it's and I can't remember what it is,
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: but you also have C two E two down in Illinois,
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: which does actually does quite a bit of of card gaming.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: I played in my first real large scale event at
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: C two E two many many years ago for key Forge.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: I would just say I would like something to like
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: go to, you know, and like have some fun. And yes, Dexter, no,
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: I haven't been playing much of anything lately because you know, work, work, work,
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: our work and no play make Wookie go crazy.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: Well, book some time off around Packs East, and it's
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: not a hundred percent confirmed, but it is hopeful and planned.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: There will be some events at Pax East's nice.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: I just that that's what I'd like to see, right,
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: I'd like to see something where like, hey, here's our
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: game plan, kind of here's and even if it's they
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: don't have any large scale events planned besides the confluence,
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: that's fine too, but say that right, I'm I am
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: really into like total transparency. If you have nothing planned
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: for it, don't keep everybody on an edge and be
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: like okay and then have nothing planned. But then also,
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: don't you know, be surprised when it's like, oh yeah,
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: we're gonna have a big event next month and like
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: seventeen people show up, right because you got a book,
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: flights and hotels and that's not something you can easily
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: throw together in thirty days. Yep, all right, you got
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: some rules updates on here, mister Cole. What do you got?
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: So? I actually missed this article and Dexter added it
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: to the list. I read over it beforehand. Most of
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: these to me are pretty ones, pretty much ones. I
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: already knew. It's just a further clarification based on questions.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: The one that is interesting to me that I think
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: I have to ask Dexter about because it's more related
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: to Ortis is the clarification in reference to Ortis Cadets
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: and red Aitsker in Ortis and the question says, if
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: another effect or ability somehow discards or sends to reserve
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: or moves a card that says create a token in
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: my expedition, between the moment it's triggered and the moment.
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: It's resolved, what happens.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: So the rule's answer is if an object that says
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: in my expedition doesn't exist anymore, but its effect is
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: still being resolved, it refers to the expedition it.
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: Was last in.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: Is this a hypothetical made up scenario to get ahead
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: of Okay?
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: I think the only time this would happen if you
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: have a unique that says, like when you play another character,
• 50:09
  Speaker 5: sacrifice it to just to destroy something, and then the
• 50:12
  Speaker 5: active player would also have to choose to destroy it
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: before resolving the arrow or from reserve effect of the
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: card that you played for that, Yeah, that makes sense.
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: That's that's really the only scenario I can think of. Yeah,
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: the there is an actual card, a rare card that
• 50:30
  Speaker 5: has sacrifice on it.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: I don't remember. Does artists have kuwa?
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: They do kua?
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, but would wouldn't that already? Yeah, that already saw satisfy. Yeah,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: so that the question and the answer makes sense to me,
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: And the answer is pretty like that's what I would
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: have assumed.
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: So it's not it's just all a hypothetical scenario.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: It's not a new thing. It's just something i've never
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: can like, ran into West will put a unique in
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: the live chat that shows a kraken. The stats and
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: the cost don't make sense, but what it says is
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: when I leave the expedition zone, you may put a
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: card from your hand in reserve. If you do create
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: two ori, it is recruit.
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: Tokens in my expedition.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, so yeah, so it would refer back to the
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: expedition that it was last in. Yeah, which I mean,
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: like I said, the interaction makes total sense. I think
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: it was just a clarification.
• 51:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I definitely see how some people would be like,
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: it's not in any expedition anymore, so you can't make anything.
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: But I could see both ways. But this clarification makes sense. Yeah.
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: The other one I think is in this sounds like
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: someone tried to rules lawyer and that got like smacked.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: It was like stop being dumb.
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: The other one that's interesting here is the one on Atlas,
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: and really it makes sense. But the reason it becomes
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: more interesting is because when Trial by Frust is out,
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: this interaction will happen more often. So what it says
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: is question if a character is both gigantic and defender,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: for example, because I control both Atlas and Goring, what happens.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: And the answer is my expedition for a gigantic character
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: means my expeditions plural. Therefore, a defender gigantic character would
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: prevent both of their expeditions from moving forward. Now, the
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: rules interaction does apply to Atlas in that situation they explained,
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: but that will happen a lot more often in Trial
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: by Frost because of Chocolate Bar. That's gonna make different
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: characters gigantic. You're gonna see things like Sakabaru can move
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: back to expeditions in the same play. There's another card
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: that I think I'm forgetting, but it's Trial by Frost.
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: Its gigantic interactions and just there's gonna be more defender
• 53:25
  Speaker 5: cards too.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: Yep, yep. And the main point of these articles is
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: just clarity and giving updates, because right here it says
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: these are all the ruling clarifications we put out since
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: we last communicated any on November eleventh, twenty twenty four,
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: And then it even says the next rules and clarifications
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: of it is February third, so they're already planning to
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: clarify some of the Trial by Frost cards. The most
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: interesting thing that a lot of people might not know
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: is to account for the release of Trial by Frost,
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: the update to Comprehensive Rules will be published on January twentieth,
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. So I think the comprehensive rules are
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: at one point one right now, yes, and I believe
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: I could be wrong for that January twentieth.
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: It will be two point zero.
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: Yep. Makes sense.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: So there are more rule clarifications in that article. They're
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: pretty pretty basic. Did you have any that took you
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: by surprise, Texter?
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: No, all of them made sense.
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 54:46
  Speaker 5: So that Copelia thing was another kind of hypothetical scenario.
• 54:50
  Speaker 5: That's weird there, but I guess that makes sense too.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: Same kind of thing with the cadets and Bradatascer.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: Yep, and then Roc and Kibble. Clarification is just can
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: at noon effects be played with the activation of the
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: effect And it's no because at the beginning of noon
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: phase is when the at noon triggers are triggered, and
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: it is simultaneous and then starting with the first player,
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: each player resolves them in the order of their choice.
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: YadA, YadA.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: So it's too late for that. Yeah, And if you've
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: ever played arac, it is very interesting how that ability
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: works because it does not activate from hand abilities, but
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: it will activate from anywhere ability from anywhere. So but yeah,
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: that was That's about it for the rule clarifications. But
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: they will continue to keep releasing those updates so that
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: all of the clarifications are there in a nice article.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's go oh question, Yeah, so let's
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: go into We actually had a Patreon question this week.
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: Thank you to all of our Patreons, and thank you
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: all of you who have stuck through my terrible reading
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: tonight and the people in the chat got a rough
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: go of it today. I don't know why. And although
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: you who have subscribed, you know, getting us ever so
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: closer into the top sixty eight Altered Creators.
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: Main aspiration.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: Right, the dream is real, guys, so maybe maybe by
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: whatever Set three is. I wonder what Set three is
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: going to be. Let's see, we went into like the
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: normal world, right, I know it's as as Gartha, right is.
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: I keep calling it as guard because let's be honest. Yeah,
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: now we're moving into frozen. So I wonder it was
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: Set three going to be fire. I don't know, right,
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: we've been through normal ice, maybe water. I guess we
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: could go water or maybe deeper into the jungle.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know, all right, holding out hope for the
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: shadow realm and get all.
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: The shadow realms that will probably be well whatever the
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: next probably I say, whenever the next batch of heroes
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: is coming, that would be my guess, because that seems
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: like a whole new thing, right, And it would seem
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: like there are would be someone specific, would be a
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: faction specific to that, and then that's what you'd get.
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: And if there are skeletons or goose or ghosts or
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: ghules or anything like that, that will be the faction
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: I'll be playing. I like goosts, goose, ghosts. I'm gonna
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: say ghosts. I'm having a real tough times late. The
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: lookies tied.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: It's ready to read the question.
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: I can get through the question all right. I'm just
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: gonn to use my finger here right and go real slow.
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: So Josh Alexander, thank you to Josh for posting this question.
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: Everyone on the cast seems to favor one faction above all.
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: I'd like to hear you each design your dream hero
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: for the class. Keep in mind, heroes give one one
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: one stats worth of value each turn.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: M I think Dexter already had an answer for this,
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: so I'll let some brainstorming from this question.
• 58:38
  Speaker 5: So I do like Orders the most, and that's my
• 58:41
  Speaker 5: favorite faction because of Waru, and Waru's just like the
• 58:44
  Speaker 5: perfect hero in my opinion, like does all the beercrat stuff.
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: I love how that plays.
• 58:50
  Speaker 5: But my second favorite faction is Yezmir, and I think
• 58:52
  Speaker 5: a cool hero for Yezmir could just be at Noon
• 58:57
  Speaker 5: Sabotage one. And you're required to sabotage on every turn,
• 59:00
  Speaker 5: so it's likely that sometimes you'll be sabotaging yourself, but overall,
• 59:05
  Speaker 5: over the course of the game, you'll be slowing down
• 59:07
  Speaker 5: your opponent more than you for sure. That seems about
• 59:10
  Speaker 5: a stat one one one, definitely strong against trast and
• 59:15
  Speaker 5: kind of like the anti fin Just taking away all
• 59:18
  Speaker 5: of their reserves seems like fun to just destroy your
• 59:22
  Speaker 5: opponent and make them not have any cards. Just going
• 59:26
  Speaker 5: off that control mechanic for usemere sabotage is fun.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: See you kind of stole my idea there, and it's
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: not necessarily sabotage. But my idea was I wanted a
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: hero that like, at you know, right as you're about
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: to resolve everything, you roll at twelve sided dice, Yeah,
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: at dusk. Well, yeah, I guess dusk is the most
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: appropriate time. I was trying not to say dusk because
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: I didn't I don't know if that's the most appropriate time,
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: but we can figure out a time later on. And
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: I want you to roll a twelve sided dice, okay,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: because twelve sided dice is the dice least used and
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: it deserves more attention. Really, yeah, what detends all the time.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: When you're singing a battle axe?
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: Detends all the time, Like, and you use percentage dice,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: right like D twelve is the is the redheaded stepchild
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: of the dice community, right like you're never asked to
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: roll a D twelve, and I want each of the
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: D twelve abilities to be something different, Oh God, Like
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: on a one, you gotta sacrifice the creature. On a two,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: like you can blow up a landmark on on a three,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: you get to put something to sleep. On a four,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: something gains fleeting on fire, you know, just absolutely balls
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: to the wall stoopid, right, Like I don't even know
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: if I could give give it twelve things, but it
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: does one hundred percent need to be a twelve sided dice.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: That would be epic. And although the heroes aren't you know,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: like legends or I forgot what the other word is,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: that would be like a like a van Go or
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: something like that, just a crazy.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: Just absolutely artist, right, yeah he's maybe it's missing an ear,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: who knows, but you know, like that just like something
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: absolutely insane. It could be total like it could be
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: like total feast and famine too, like you know, like
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: some are just you know, and it affects like a
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: little bit of everybody, right and something to give like that.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: Add the plus one to diaryl because a lot of
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: Lyris stuff still is like if it's over four, do
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: a thing, you know, and that's where the plus one
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: of diarl comes in. But you could add some fun stuff.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: You're like, oh, man, like add a minus to a
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: die roll, right, Like I really wanted that four and
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: I rolled a five. I'm gonna use a quick effect
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: minus one of my die roll and now I'm blown
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: up your bastion, you know, suck it back, you know
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: something like that. I don't know. You can actually have
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: a ton of fun with this. Probably wouldn't be competitive,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: very in the slightest, but it would be a lot
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: of fun.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, why did you delete the question, dexter?
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: Because he doesn't know what buttons he's pushing. Yeah, I
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: just I just undid it.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: So I I represent Muna, of course, and I've thought
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: about this like a little, but I'm gonna I'm gonna
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: say I don't care about figuring out the balance or
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: if it's broken or not right now, but I want
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: heerroo that feels like gives me the feeling of plant growth,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: maybe the abilities called like rampant growth or something. And
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: it could be kind of cool because I don't Yeah,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: so rin doesn't get counters, our gene doesn't get encounters.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: I think it'd be cool to have a muna hero
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: that gets counters, similar to like Hot Saudi or Arac
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: where maybe you get one counter every plant you play, Yeah,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: or trace.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, something more tribal. We talked about this before.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And so the growth is either like they sprout
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: roots and anchor based, like you can hand out the
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: counters or something to anchor like anything, or the game boosts,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: which is a form of growth. I feel like I
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: had another thought and now it.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: Just see I think you can go one step further
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: with that too, right, because I am a big fan
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: of games that have alternate wo mechanics. Might be why
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: I like Lera a little bit because they could win
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: the game by not actually winning the game, right, I'm
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: a huge fan of that. But I'm also a fan
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: of like alternate lose the game mechanics. So you can
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: have that growth, right, and you could grow grow growth,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: but at a certain point, like the growth starts hunting you, right,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: and you can just be like if you have X
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: amount of growth counters, you just lose the game. We're like,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: you get this hugely competitive, like massively cool advantage, but
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: like if it gets on a hand, you just will lose.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: Too many lose.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think it would be really cool to
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: see a reversal of the hero and companion. I am
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: fairly certain every hero is human, every companion is. Yeah,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not what about switching that where it's a treent
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: and like a little hobbit or something, and the hobbit
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: is the companion.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: And now you've got me looking I'm back looking at
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at some of the cars that the one.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 5: That's the closest is probably Besier and kaise them on.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 5: But that's still like a demon kind of thing. It
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 5: looks human enough, I guess, but it's not.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: And yeah, even even though a lot of people say,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: what the hell is Warrior's companion? What's its name?
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: Mac macrrett is.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: I think so?
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no gol Rangs? No is it goll Rang. The
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: one that I'm confused on, I don't know is like
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: the Big war Yeah, what what?
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: What is it? I don't know, Laura enough.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know what that even is. He's
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: got a giant horn.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: Goal for twenty twenty five is to sit down and
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: learn more of the lore. But right now I'm too
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: busy working on the discord and the website and all
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: the others, all the things. But yeah, a lot of
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: people say Mac is the one that really calls the
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: shots and is the evil one, and he's just an
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: old dude listening to the animal in his ear.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: Oh so it's very like Lord of the Ring where
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: like where like Max really is like worm tongue talking
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: out of the ear and he's got him under some
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: evil spell to do bad bureaucratical things. Yeah, that would
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: be that would be cool. Lord do you think these
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: do you think these hero would be an actual fire dog?
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: M hmm, Like I think I think when they do
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: come out with the next set of companions, like there
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: actually needs to be a fire dog. So he has
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: to correct himself hmm. So he has to actually say
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: he was wrong and it's actually a cat because it's sorry.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: Still to this day, I still call it damn fire dog.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: But I look at the picture. I know it's a
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: cat dog.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: And you know it's a cat, but fire dog sounds better.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and now there's a fire rabbit. But yeah, I
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: think Zach's hero choice would be obvious. It would be
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: a pirate of some sort, which is kind of counter
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: to artists. But you know, maybe it's a turncoat.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: You know, you know what it would be. It would
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: be a special interest group, That's what it would be.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: It would just be a ton of just be a
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: ton of lobbyist, that's what it would be. That's Zach's gonna.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: Play the black Rock hero.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: Oh jeez.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, Dexter probably did not know that reference.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: Dexter has no idea who or what black Rock is,
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: not even a clue I got. I got a fun
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: question for you. So so it's all this it's very
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: like mythical and legendary, right, and it's meant to be
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: that way. Who would you? Who do have you not
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: seen yet that you would bring in?
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. So what is very great about this question
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: is when I was at past Loki actually asked me
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: this exact same question, And at first I was like, well,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not really into like mythology that much.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: And I think the characters that I would know and
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: am kind of already into are either teased or already there. Sure,
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: like Demeter is coming in the next set, which is
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: kind of like cool and close to like me and
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: my home. Zeus obviously everyone knows Zeus is technically already
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: on a card, even though not a card yet. But
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: after some conversation, I was like, shit, it can be anyone. Yeah, yep,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: My my answer is Sherlock.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: Yep, right right on, Dexter. You got anybody like the
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: Egyptian gods? Cool, there's a few of them. There's a
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: few of them.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: Many.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: Anubis is in a set. I think there's one other
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: one if I remember correctly. Maybe it was just a newis.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 4: Technically, but I have no idea the like legend or
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 4: history of.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: Well, mine's going to drive you guys both wild. It's
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: nobody based in mythology, but it is a legend. No
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: it's not, Oh that's a good one. That'd be a
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: good one a wrestling faction. No, it's Clifford's a big
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: red dog, so there could be so there could be
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: actually be a fire Dog. I I just I was
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: every time I hear fire Dog, I'm like Clifford, and
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: I'm like, no, Clifford's not in this No, but that
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: would be kind of cool or you know the dumb
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: Another dumb thingesme streak characters. I need a hero that
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: exemplify is Oscar the Grouch. Yeah, lives in a can
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know who his companion would be.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: Oh he has a companion. It's wormy. Nobody's excited as Yeah,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I do not know.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: So Oscar has a pet worm? Did you watch that?
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: We lost another listener like, I'm out?
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: Pet worm is where I'm out?
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Oscar has a pet worm? Wormy. I totally forgot
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: about that. So he definitely has a companion. Already, make
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: it happen. Altern I'm giving I'm giving you gold for
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: free over here, just kidding.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: But for you for your wrestler, I think Bassira is
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: pretty close. Probably, Uh Bassierra is that bitch. That's all
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. And I really wish I could make
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: my Basira a deck work better.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: But maybe in next set, maybe in trial TB TV
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: A yep, but I always want to say TBD, but
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: it's not.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: But yeah, for the question on Patreon, this is something
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: that I will post on the Patreon and if we
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: get one or two questions, we'll probably just be able
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: to answer them each episode. If we get a collection,

  Speaker 1: do surveys. There's lots of good stuff in the Discord.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: You can find it on our website. But there was
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of feedback about what people want to see
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: from the Patreon and by far the thing that was
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: on almost every answer was deck feedback, deck reviews, deck deck.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 4: People want the deck.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: That sounds like more of a Z thing. Yeah, so
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: that might be once Z gets back, we're able to
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: do more of that type of thing. Uh Z, I
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: love him, but Z's a nerd. He loves the numbers,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: he loves the test, he loves the tinker, he loves
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: to toy, he loves the sign numbers to things. It's
• 1:12:32
