  Yo all no, no, no, not my homies. Yeah that's me.
• 0:14
  I don't go to work, all right, everybody, what's going on?
• 0:21
  I am the one, the only, the w oh okay you joined
• 0:25
  here by the usual cast of degenerate misfits. We have the elf from the
• 0:28
  South Southerly elf O, the ewakyist of ewoks Jr. Hello, Key fortumunity,
• 0:36
  glad to be here, the grumpiest PhD you ever met, doctor Sheet,
• 0:41
  I'm not special, and the one and only choke show. I am
• 0:47
  special. My mom told me so. Buckets of stuff. We had six
• 0:55
  articles in the span of six days. That's an article day. Boys.
• 1:00
  It's like Jeremy, six articles that should have been one article. These are
• 1:04
  all written by Josh. Yeah. Oh yeah, that's why. That's why.
• 1:08
  Hey, we have articles. This is uh someone posted this is good
• 1:14
  one posted by Michael. Honestly, this is back to where Gigi was early
• 1:18
  on with communication. I love to see it. So no complaints there,
• 1:22
  Chepo, no complaints, all right, but forgive way too easily. We
• 1:27
  are this. This is good. This is good news. Man. You're
• 1:32
  gonna hear that again and again, so I like it. We got a
• 1:37
  lot of good news this week. So you know, it's at least at
• 1:40
  least a four hour recording apparently to you guys, we are going to go
• 1:47
  over these articles briefly, and then and future episodes we will deep dive into
• 1:53
  some of these and then maybe sprinkle in some other news that comes back.
• 1:57
  But your voices have been heard. Sealed is returning to the Vault Tour.
• 2:06
  Yay, well kind of yeah, kind of kind but I'll take it,
• 2:12
  I guess. So going forward, sealed, I'm sorry, going forward,
• 2:17
  Officially Keyforard sealed play format will be played well, hold on, let me
• 2:21
  just start here, because we have to define sealed right, so experienced Keyford
• 2:28
  players know the basics of sealed deck play. A number of unopened key Forge
• 2:32
  decks are bought by each player to a tournament. Players open their sealed decks
• 2:36
  before their first round is select Slash creates a deck to use in the tournament.
• 2:42
  Selecting a single whole deck and sealed play has been in the past known
• 2:46
  as sealed ARCon, while using the Alliance deck creation rules has its pass known
• 2:52
  as sealed Alliance. Going forward, official key Forard sealed play format will be
• 2:58
  as follows. Players bring between one and three sealed decks players choice to the
• 3:05
  tournament. The deck must be from the same keyforarde set, or the decks
• 3:09
  must be from the same keyboard set, while the set itself may be designated
• 3:15
  by the event. After opening the decks, players then decide upon their tournament
• 3:20
  deck. This is done either by selecting an open deck without modification, or
• 3:23
  by creating an alliance deck from the housing pods contained in the open decks.
• 3:28
  While you may, while you, we have made additional adjustments and edits to
• 3:34
  the sealed format explanation on our tournament format and rules page. This is all
• 3:39
  now known as is this correct? Unified sealed? Not really? Yeah,
• 3:45
  yeah, yes yeah, New Coke? Yes Coke. How long before we
• 3:51
  go back to the old recipe because we all know how well wait, hold
• 3:53
  on, how many people in the audience actually know what new Coke is?
• 4:00
  What about most? Yes? Sorry sorry, Pepsi Crystal was clear. New
• 4:08
  Coke was like a whole new formula and it flopped miserably, and they just
• 4:15
  went back to the old stuff, so we have before. They didn't go
• 4:17
  back to the original because that did okay, not the original original. Hey,
• 4:24
  some of us are old here. You go back to the Booger Sugar
• 4:27
  days. No, you do not. Hey, Hey, we have before
• 4:32
  I stated the importance of limiting the numbers of official formats to keep organized play
• 4:36
  focused and to avoid fracturing the player base. You've already okayed. In addition,
• 4:42
  we also, uh we accomplished. We also had to consider some real
• 4:46
  world limitations and that supporting four high level tournaments within a three day tournament event
• 4:53
  is not particular practical practical for larger tournaments that that I agree with it,
• 5:00
  We will get into that. This is why we have made the decision to
• 5:03
  select a single unified sealed format as the official competitive at the official competitive level,
• 5:11
  as opposed to running both Arkon and Alliance sealed formats. The official sealed
• 5:15
  format, which was Sealed Alliance in the past, allows those players who wish
• 5:19
  to feel a single unmodified ARCon dec to do so, while players who want
• 5:24
  the agency there's that word again, of engaging in the deck construction may do
• 5:29
  just that. As such, we believe the widest number of players are served
• 5:32
  by this unified format. Where does it go into the structure? Is it
• 5:36
  the next one? I would just like to say that ARCon and Alliance also
• 5:46
  allowed you to play single deck sealed if you want it, so really,
• 5:51
  thanks for that cheap but I gained agency. Agency, help me dress,
• 5:59
  help me now. So look, I am excited that Sealed is back.
• 6:03
  I'm excited that Seal's here. It is you know, I think I don't
• 6:10
  know what we call true sealed. I guess we call it true seal.
• 6:14
  We call it sealed. Well, now this is there, This is unified
• 6:16
  sealed. I'm sorry, true I believe we call it the way. This
• 6:21
  is the West. Yes, I agree, I agree. So I like,
• 6:27
  hey, it's not like I'm like, uh uh, you know a
• 6:31
  lions sealed is a horrible format or whatever. It's fine, right, Like
• 6:35
  I think it's It's not what I was hoping for. But if it's the
• 6:40
  way to get Sealed back, I'll take it, and then we'll spend the
• 6:43
  next year hopefully convincing him that, you know, but sealed is the way
• 6:47
  to go. But wait, dras Cors there's more. Yeah. I don't
• 6:51
  know if it was said here, but h F F S had a little
• 6:57
  chat with Michael Hurley. Yeah, us so Sealed will be run on Friday,
• 7:03
  and I believe will wrap up on Saturday. That's not what was said.
• 7:10
  Okay, where was it said? Was it an article or was it
• 7:12
  there hasn't been said anywhere. Yeah, people saying they heard that from somebody
• 7:18
  that has not been officially put out anywhere that I've been made aware of.
• 7:26
  For Wok manifesting something. That's where I heard it from was ewak. Yeah.
• 7:30
  Yeah, but you know, because if that was the case, it
• 7:35
  was a self fulfilling prophecy that sealed would just take a dive and be trash
• 7:41
  because nobody would be able to show up on I mean, plenty of people
• 7:45
  show up on Friday, right, but they show up on Friday, late
• 7:49
  Friday. When to run this as YETI this is what YETI used to run
• 7:58
  like this was except there wasn't two choices on Saturday. It was sealed on
• 8:03
  Friday and then ARCN the next day, or it was arkind on Friday and
• 8:07
  sealed on Saturday, right, whichever way they chose to do it each one.
• 8:11
  But this this is not wait, hold on, never standard they did
• 8:18
  that. They did that. Yes, that is how event coke. No,
• 8:24
  I remember the main the main event was always one thing won his Sealed
• 8:33
  Vault tour at a YETTI event where it was sealed on Friday and Alliance on
• 8:39
  saturd Saturday, Sunday, whichever it was. It was ARCon on Friday and
• 8:46
  then sealed on Saturday. That that's what it was. And the sealed was
• 8:48
  the main event with the exact same prizing, right, YETI went ahead and
• 8:58
  ran back to back. As you guys are talking, we had another lead
• 9:05
  that was there before YETI and I think that's what Cascade was there before Yedi
• 9:09
  and I was at YETI Vault Tours. I went with cheap to a YETI
• 9:13
  Vault Tour. But we've also also YETI Vaults that were single event, correct
• 9:18
  and correct. That's what I need to be able to share is that both
• 9:22
  existed. Near the end DRez you had went to Packs and Packs was the
• 9:26
  three day event. That's what we styled live after. But YETI did run
• 9:30
  single events too, because they did the three day events when they did convention
• 9:33
  related stuff for people at entry fees on their on their solo run events,
• 9:39
  they did singles. Okay, well, either way we can. I can
• 9:46
  throw that argument out because it doesn't exist anymore, which I'm I'm actually I'm
• 9:52
  happy to hear that that that doesn't exist. That makes me. Yeah,
• 9:56
  So the autoficial demono was here talking about this in our chat. So again,
• 10:01
  if you happen to be live here Thursdays when we record AC Live show,
• 10:05
  you can jump in and add some comments. We got to open the
• 10:09
  liquid death. Are you all ready? Oh yeah, glad water just throw
• 10:18
  money in the garbo. But it's liquid. But let's do here to refocus
• 10:24
  us here. Ye, true, Josh had come onto our discord and that's
• 10:31
  where it was unofficial kind of talked about a response to a p and so
• 10:35
  that's where the discussion happened. It's bad but like unofficial responses, it's not
• 10:41
  super but like the amount of information that we need one is not good.
• 10:52
  Agreed, But it's not good because it's not coming through me. I mean
• 10:56
  that's so. So here here's where as content provides. We appreciate that,
• 11:01
  like Josh has come on to AC before that, Michael Hurley went onto help
• 11:05
  from future self. That we've had GGI employees come into content creators is helpful,
• 11:13
  but it does raise some additional questions. The idea that was stated Michael
• 11:16
  Hurley that I remember hearing was in regards to Will the Sealed Beyond Saturday and
• 11:22
  that is it will be Friday. Now there is potential no no, no,
• 11:26
  they said we're not opening up, but there's potential for it to be
• 11:31
  able to be there. It was not a statement of it will or it
• 11:33
  won't. No, it was in stone with here is my feet grounded in
• 11:37
  that this is the only time it's going to be. That's right. It
• 11:39
  basically was a no comment. Right, that's basically what he said. He
• 11:43
  said words that were more than that, but basically what did he say?
• 11:46
  What did he say? What did you say? Something like we didn't make
• 11:50
  we haven't made that the decision yet, or we're not saying at this point
• 11:56
  or something like that. Right, like, this is why it's not even
• 11:58
  worth talking about because right, right, the thing is because conjecture here,
• 12:05
  I don't know. We have to tell you that we like it here.
• 12:09
  But there's some really important information if we're going ahead and claiming that, hey,
• 12:16
  we're going to go ahead and have sealed awesome. First of all,
• 12:18
  over all these articles, we need to understand there's really good information. We
• 12:22
  appreciate this a lot of positive and I need to say that again and again.
• 12:26
  There's some some fine details that we want to be able to talk about
• 12:31
  that is still some complaints. One of those was what came through as people
• 12:35
  were talking about it, the idea that it Sealed Alliance, but we're gonna
• 12:39
  just call it Sealed Unified like that. That is that's a that's a big
• 12:43
  hit. But I will tell you as a key Forge player, I'm just
• 12:48
  happy that we're playing Sealed Alliance. We'll call it Sealed Unified as a formal
• 12:52
  format. That all three will be at World, that's good news. That's
• 12:56
  a win for us, and we'll take that win. The idea in the
• 13:00
  statement there was a throwaway comment in there that you can play one, two
• 13:05
  or three decks, so you could play a single deck. It's not efficient
• 13:07
  as competitive, correct, and that is I think what is missed is that
• 13:13
  oftentimes we're competitive podcast. We're going to push for that competition. So the
• 13:18
  idea that you're going to come in and play just one. We're not a
• 13:22
  competitive podcast anymore. We just ship talk for like an hour and a half,
• 13:26
  yea three hours. There's another competitive going on for a while. Well,
• 13:31
  this is true. I'm pretty sure you can competitively ship talk. YEP.
• 13:35
  That's where we're at. So this idea, the idea that I'm going
• 13:41
  to go ahead and open up one single deck and maybe that deck is baller,
• 13:46
  maybe that deck is straight ARCon worthy, and we can take it.
• 13:48
  We have seen that in some of the sealed but the ability to go ahead
• 13:52
  and take two or three statistically, it is not likely that are going to
• 14:00
  take one deck and be successful when you can go ahead and look at all
• 14:03
  of the decks. Now, I'm a bit concerned, frankly, when we
• 14:09
  look it is one, two or three decks that are available for this sealed
• 14:13
  unified. I like that they're giving some agency for your local that hey,
• 14:18
  local store, I can go ahead and do. Let's end right here,
• 14:24
  because you're already getting into what one of the biggest arguments going on the internet
• 14:28
  is unified sealed is and the way that TRG is written this is for premier
• 14:35
  level event stuff. They don't have anything meaningful for store level events written yet.
• 14:41
  Really they have included store championships as that one of those premiers, which
• 14:46
  premier thing for a local op. And that's why people are drawing that conclusion.
• 14:52
  And right now you have it open that it can be one or two,
• 14:56
  and I'm fine with that that there isn't clear delineation between this is premier,
• 15:03
  top level whatever and store level stuff is got a lot of people worry
• 15:09
  because they're like, well, it only says there's one way to play Sealed,
• 15:11
  and now they're afraid people are gonna come to the store and be like,
• 15:13
  well, this is what it's said online how you play Sealed, and
• 15:16
  you guys don't want to do it that way, and that isn't great for
• 15:18
  consistency that you can't go to the store and go what to expect. But
• 15:24
  that's kind of always been true in key Forge, Like all the time people
• 15:26
  are talking about like you can go to z store and they're gonna play Shredder
• 15:31
  once a month, and you come to our store and we're playing some kind
• 15:33
  of weird we're playing sometimes sometimes Sealed Alliance. Sometimes if you just want to
• 15:41
  play in our contact, we don't care because we're really just they're playing key
• 15:43
  Fords because we're not playing for anything. And other places are playing sas cap
• 15:48
  Karen in the store in Madison, they're playing crazy swindle based events all the
• 15:54
  time. Like there is no real consistency I feel like in the of key
• 16:00
  Forge events across the country at a local level, because you're now playing it.
• 16:03
  What are you playing? Players? Well, there there is that,
• 16:07
  but like it's it is the thing that was there is with key Forge,
• 16:14
  but that that there is only these three things. And oh single deck shield,
• 16:19
  which we all agree is a joke. Single deck shield when other people
• 16:22
  are playing three deck constructed is right? We need we need no reason.
• 16:33
  You cannot just at your local store say hey, right, everybody's buying one
• 16:37
  deck and play in it. We can play mixed set because it doesn't matter.
• 16:41
  Even once there's prizes, probably doesn't matter until they introduce a meaningful leader
• 16:48
  board that leads to something. It doesn't really matter what you're doing as long
• 16:52
  as you're playing key Forge and people are enjoying it, right, and I
• 16:56
  and I agree with what I saw I was talking about. I agree with
• 17:00
  this hundred percent. I do not think that they will control us at the
• 17:03
  local level. They haven't. I don't think it's gonna be a problem,
• 17:06
  but I will tell you some of the wording and some of the technology that
• 17:08
  was there makes it a little bit weird. We're still looking at one or
• 17:12
  two decks I think for the local, but your local decide like take it
• 17:15
  upon us where the community go out to your local. What do you guys
• 17:18
  want to play? What should this group here? And I say guys,
• 17:22
  but it's guys and girls. Whoever is in your local who's playing? Talk
• 17:26
  to them. I don't see that as an issue. I mean, I
• 17:30
  like it as a thought as a store representative that every week some people are
• 17:33
  going to choose three decks. I like it. I would like to sell
• 17:38
  you three decks every week. That sounds great, and there are and you
• 17:42
  know, the problem is is there are certainly some people who can afford to
• 17:45
  do that, and there's other people who can't. And the fact that the
• 17:48
  extra money is a significant competitive advantage will ruin locals if they run it that
• 17:53
  way like it'll it'll just ruin them. So I think that's where the worry
• 18:00
  is coming from, is people say, I want to go play for my
• 18:03
  store championship. Now you're telling me I have to buy three. Well,
• 18:06
  I don't think the store championship one having to be three is a problem because
• 18:11
  that's a once a year event. That's not that's not local weekly play,
• 18:17
  that's your that eye. What they got is the top level play and all
• 18:22
  the store championships that we played in before were either ARCon or three decks sealed
• 18:26
  anyways, so that's not really a change. I see this, but I'm
• 18:32
  going to tell you there are some people that it is limiting with amount of
• 18:34
  money that again the increasing every game. There are people who can't play ten
• 18:40
  dollars magic drafts like I don't. I don't think that is a like what's
• 18:45
  the what's the bottom line? You set the number? What is it?
• 18:48
  What is the number that everybody can afford and play? There isn't a number
• 18:51
  that is that, so I don't. I don't think that's like there is
• 18:55
  value in that making it overly expensive, but it's it is not a number
• 19:02
  that I think any of us are qualified to determine what is actually a dollar
• 19:07
  level that will prevent people from showing up. I think that you're missed or
• 19:12
  sealed. I think we're to a store championship, not to a weekly event.
• 19:18
  Yeah, I think what you're missing is again, talk with your locals
• 19:22
  and be able to go ahead and voice if it is a restriction box to
• 19:25
  play at our local. But we just an alliance. You could just buy
• 19:30
  as many AOA decks as you want, but our local is different. I'm
• 19:34
  telling you even going ahead and meeting trying to right rules that apply to everybody.
• 19:41
  That that's not how it works. And I don't think the three deck
• 19:45
  thing is out of whack at all to play in a premier level event.
• 19:52
  Yeah, go ahead and do it once or twice a year, which is
• 19:55
  what we're looking at because to the two sets. But what's the problem.
• 20:00
  Okay, so what three times a year? You do it one for Star
• 20:02
  Championships and once for each release. Three times a year. That's not a
• 20:06
  big deal. Forty bucks. Yeah, that's fine, that's fine. That's
• 20:10
  not I I don't see that it's an issue. But I'm telling you there
• 20:14
  are individuals in our community that it is. It is arguing that there are
• 20:18
  individuals that can't afford it. But what you're saying is like, then we
• 20:22
  need to make the events freak to play, and then it devolves back in
• 20:26
  dot Well, how do you make it so everybody. I didn't say one
• 20:27
  deck because that's what key Forge was, but that's where it evolves back down
• 20:33
  to when you start trying to limit spending across the board. I think this
• 20:38
  has gotten way auto whack. I will say that, but if you level,
• 20:44
  if you have a problem spending forty dollars to play in a premier level
• 20:48
  event. I don't think competitive key Forge just for you, just straight up,
• 20:56
  I don't think that's crazy competitive and is probably probably something you're going to
• 21:02
  realistically be able to participate in. Yes, but there are a number of
• 21:07
  individuals of how it's been worded right now, three times a year for store
• 21:11
  champs and your two release events. Thinking there's three store champs in a year,
• 21:15
  No one for store sin, one for store Champ, and one for
• 21:18
  each pre release. That's a total of three events at forty I think is
• 21:22
  fine. But again, what I'm trying to say is talk to your community,
• 21:26
  because we are a small community that if for some reason you are one
• 21:30
  of those people who's limited that you can't make it out, talk to people
• 21:33
  because there's other people that frankly, hey, I'll pick up here's the extra
• 21:37
  deck that's needed, because it's more fun to just have our local group there.
• 21:41
  That's me, okay, And I know there's a lot of really good
• 21:45
  people out there. So even while you're scoffing at it in the back,
• 21:48
  that's what I'm trying to say. I don't think that we're going ahead and
• 21:51
  expecting three sealed on a weekly basis. I think that's outrageous, but I
• 21:56
  agree how it was listed cause some people to get alarmed. I'm trying to
• 22:00
  qualm that by saying, no, realistically, you're looking at one sealed potentially
• 22:04
  even do what we do where here's two and you play alliance for the week.
• 22:08
  But what we will see is roughly three times a year, as I've
• 22:12
  outlined, you'll see this three deck event. Okay, I think that is
• 22:18
  very appropriate. But if that's a limiting facts, and I think where they're
• 22:22
  getting confused. They thought every time we were run sealed, it's going to
• 22:26
  have to be three decks, and that that wasn't the case. Now what
• 22:30
  is written if their rules, but that's I don't think there's nothing preventing you
• 22:40
  from doing what you want in your locals, right the thing So, so
• 22:44
  one thing that I want to talk about is the way that Michael put this
• 22:49
  forward about a sealed alliance. Though, Like the thing that I thought was
• 22:53
  really uh really surprising was how he said how much people were telling him they
• 23:02
  wanted sealed alliance. So like these events, so either one of two things
• 23:07
  is true, right, Either like us this group here and the people we
• 23:12
  talk to at these events, because we get a lot of these events like
• 23:17
  either we're more insular than I thought and we're not actually talking to as many
• 23:21
  people as I thought we were. Are is just a complete misunderstanding from Michael
• 23:27
  as to what, like what he's getting this is the hell they're willing to
• 23:33
  die on. Well, but but I mean, I guess but see,
• 23:38
  wait, you think you think there's like, no, he gets it that
• 23:41
  this is not like he's like, I know, I don't know. I'm
• 23:51
  going to disagree. I'm here to disagree a disagree. I want to Seal
• 23:55
  Alliance. There are several people that I have communicated with and heard talk to
• 24:00
  them that Sealed Alliance is one of the things that brought them back to KeyForge
• 24:04
  or made them interested again. There are a lot of people really a lot
• 24:11
  like it. But but like I'm talking like ratios, percentages, do we
• 24:15
  think it's more? I think they're more vocal about liking the new thing than
• 24:21
  those curmudgeons saying we don't like the new thing or we really want our old
• 24:26
  thing back. I do think the people who really like Sealed Alliance are more
• 24:30
  vocal about telling them that than the people who are just like, yeah,
• 24:33
  I'm playing this, but I'd rather have regular sealed back. I think people
• 24:36
  just wanted sealed got it. I just said I didn't like, I didn't
• 24:42
  specify got it. So when I go to Vault Tour, I need to
• 24:45
  be more vocal about wanting just regular, good old fashioned sealed back. Understand.
• 24:52
  Also, the one piece of data they have, which, mind you,
• 24:57
  this whole group here, I'm the only person who played actual sealed Now.
• 25:03
  I think that had a lot to do with three deck versus one deck.
• 25:06
  Well, yeah, that's that's the thing. We were bribes to play
• 25:10
  the new thing, and you wanted to try the new thing. I'm sure
• 25:12
  when they made new coke and they were like, hey, do you want
• 25:15
  to try this new coke, the people were like, I'll try it.
• 25:18
  But then did they ever buy it again? Right? Like guys, guys,
• 25:22
  guys, pump the brakes. You also have to remember that nobody had
• 25:29
  played Sealed Alliance to that point, had and I already knew it was bad.
• 25:37
  I had, So what I found interesting is the idea that when they
• 25:41
  put Alliance together, they didn't really realize how popular Sealed a Lions would be.
• 25:48
  They just that was an insight that was gained afterwards. That was a
• 25:52
  really that was a little surprise. Well, let's talk about Sealed Alliance as
• 26:04
  a top level event at at the point and you're playing a Vault tour,
• 26:08
  I think you should have the sposs to be able to plan it. It's
• 26:11
  totally inappropriate for prelease events. It is totally inappropriate. So we we all
• 26:18
  we all agree a lot. Yeah, we're fine. We all agree that
• 26:22
  it is inappropriate for when you're releasing brand new event. I would also say,
• 26:27
  I'm very curious how three decks will be versus two as we add in
• 26:33
  three new pods and now you have a total of nine pods that choose from.
• 26:37
  Because man, some analysis paralysis has happened as we are looking at potential
• 26:41
  possibilities with two deck. So there is only so much time that is given
• 26:47
  to you in these We played two deck at the original it was it.
• 26:56
  Yeah, if you say so, yep, over there with my one.
• 27:00
  Let's talk about what twenty twenty four op is going to look like, or
• 27:03
  at least what we're told it's going to look like. Slide show please in
• 27:07
  store play to support regular keyboards players at LGS Ghost Galaxy will soon be offering
• 27:14
  in store play kits to interested retailers. These kits are depended to facilitate regular
• 27:21
  in store play and will contain materials to promote the game, as well as
• 27:23
  prizes and various goodies for players. Get your chain Teckers here, Chain track
• 27:29
  is here, Get your chain Trekers. We will have pre release events prior
• 27:34
  to the commercial release of each new keyboard set. LGS patroons will a be
• 27:38
  able to enjoy a first look via the keyboards pre release event. Next one
• 27:42
  will be Groomerbinders, slotted for February twenty third, twenty twenty four. Dates
• 27:49
  date is eights cheap dates carry by your LGS. Now that we can actually
• 27:57
  sign up for something that it's a little better, but that we don't actually
• 28:03
  know what we're buying. Is you're buying reminders? Yay, I understand.
• 28:08
  What do you not what do you not know you're buying? You're buying prei
• 28:11
  release kits. What's in the pre release kit probably the same thing that was
• 28:15
  in the last twenty twenty chain trackers probably or some twenty ninety trackers. I
• 28:22
  wouldn't very much like to know that because if it's twenty twenty changing trackers.
• 28:26
  I am buying zero. If it's something else new and interesting, maybe we
• 28:32
  get them. I don't know you're buying them either way. I am not
• 28:37
  because you pay extra for you are getting. No, you don't. It's
• 28:41
  forty bucks. I am. Actually my store right now isn't even ordering a
• 28:44
  store Championship kit real well, I think that is because we have some others.
• 28:49
  We don't know what's going on with it well enough to make our decisions.
• 28:52
  We know most of it. I guess we don't know what the battle
• 28:56
  test of the thing is and we know you would again are using on released
• 29:03
  legit information that I don't think is the actual kit. That kit has nothing
• 29:07
  to do with supporting three formats, two of this, four of that.
• 29:12
  I don't think that's the actual store Championship kit. We will talk about store
• 29:18
  champs next. I will say, I'm going to bounce to the newest article
• 29:22
  that literally released today. Wins of Exchange sold out, and so that is
• 29:27
  just from gg's printing standpoint. You can still get it from distributors and kind
• 29:32
  of reach out there. But that actually, uh is important because a lot
• 29:37
  of people are starting to get their groom reminders here their notice, sheeps,
• 29:44
  did you get your shipping notice? Mine delivers tomorrow, folks. Michael Michael
• 29:49
  Hurley will be at Star giving him his reminders tomorrow. I will have a
• 29:56
  jam l MTL sucks deck. Is that what you did? That is what
• 30:02
  I did? Nice? Nice? All? Right? Now I say that
• 30:06
  I have not gotten my shipping notice, but I think that they did a
• 30:10
  much better job at trying to ship out to Europe and to Asia and to
• 30:15
  Australia to be able to go ahead and have those earlier, and then they
• 30:18
  held onto it. I think the idea of telling us wasn't necessarily the best.
• 30:22
  But right now, if we're all getting it around this period, as
• 30:26
  this is January eighteenth compared to where we were last year, this is phenomenal
• 30:30
  and a huge, huge, huge clause to GG four delivering and making sure
• 30:34
  that we can get it here in January. So if people are starting to
• 30:37
  get it in January, that is awesome, And I actually think a pre
• 30:41
  release event then four groom reminders at the end of February. Is it's viable
• 30:48
  for stores to be able to have that event? Do we want some more
• 30:52
  data and some more information as to what's there? Yes, I think that
• 30:56
  is been consistent with the articles. We'd like a little bit more information,
• 31:00
  but I like that they gave us a date. We have something to look
• 31:03
  forward to, and woe is basically is done. So get your woe from
• 31:08
  your stores now while you can, which is again where we want to send
• 31:11
  people to grab more woe. All right. Twenty twenty four Store Championships Store
• 31:18
  championships formed the foundation level of competitive key Forge play. They are intended as
• 31:22
  primary tournament events for LGS key Forge communities. Your lgs will be able to
• 31:29
  compete. Complete sign ups for Store Championships starting today by navigating to this link.
• 31:36
  Anybody open it? Yeah, doesn't lead me. Actually some weird like
• 31:40
  rickrold Page. Yeah. We actually pushed this with our retailers trying, yea,
• 31:45
  anyone, just a joke, just a joke. It swung and missed
• 31:51
  wildly, but it's just a joke each, so we're we're used to this.
• 31:56
  Yeah, I got it. Each here, Thank you. Each LGS
• 32:01
  is expected to round their Store Championship between March first and March thirty first.
• 32:06
  As a player. If you are excited about attending Keyboards Store Championships at your
• 32:09
  lgs. Don't hesitate to let your store know about the doors market for please
• 32:16
  do? I mean we are small and that's what's there. But if you
• 32:19
  follow the link boys, because I think there's a lot more information in that
• 32:22
  section. Okay, we have store Championships between March first and the thirty first,
• 32:28
  we can see what it will cost. We do know that fifty dollars
• 32:31
  US plus shipping. Okay, was it last time? Forty Stork champions?
• 32:39
  This is never mind no, no, no, no, I don't mind
• 32:42
  scratch that, no starre champ, don't don't listen to me. I'm thinking
• 32:45
  pre release. I'm on a totally different game plan. But I think what's
• 32:50
  really interesting will cause quite a bit of discussion is Store Championships are base level
• 32:55
  events that are considered the foundational level of competitive KeyForge organized play. Because looking
• 33:01
  at the Cartoony Bropner art they used for this, but but KEI doesn't feel
• 33:09
  but they're gonna consist of three tournaments featured the supported Ghost Galaxy official tournaments formats.
• 33:16
  These formats are ARCon, Alliance and Sealed. That has been the discussion.
• 33:22
  They're gonna consist of three tournaments for your store championship. So what's the
• 33:25
  problem. No, No, like, that's different. I mean typically when
• 33:30
  we had Starre Championships in the past, it was just here's our coon and
• 33:35
  like, so that is that's our championships. You could have we had ram
• 33:38
  could you could? You could choose, right, you could choose. But
• 33:43
  this is run all three correct, you can run them separately. I yes,
• 33:50
  that says you can run it across all today's Could you imagine, like
• 33:52
  our store, we show off and we'd be like, all right, store
• 33:53
  championships all three of to day, and I'll be like, I'm gonna be
• 33:57
  sitting over there with fraud all by myself. No way is gonna play with
• 34:00
  me. Sid He's gonna be there with with some alliance stag I'll buy yourself
• 34:04
  and the rest of you're gonna be playing sealed. Yep, I'm star champ
• 34:07
  like default. Yep, sure that's true. That's not true. Will show
• 34:14
  up with something that will counter fraud just to beat me, probably alight with
• 34:19
  pennies and Nichols, and he will he will claim, hold on, we
• 34:24
  gotta tease him about this because he did struggle this week. Those pennies,
• 34:29
  which are actually damage, will also turn from damage to amber or amber to
• 34:37
  damage. What what was it this week that we love you, Jason.
• 34:39
  It's fun we get to tease now he does. No, no, it
• 34:45
  changed. It did impact him on a show to get him to get some
• 34:49
  member tokens. It did only impact local cars, so we're really fine with
• 34:52
  this anyway. Oh yeah, well, yeah, all right. Summer Special
• 34:57
  Events. The Summer Special Event is a special key happening activated by Ghost Galaxies
• 35:05
  each Summer participation with your lgs. The twenty twenty four Summer of Special Event
• 35:10
  will be a storyline event that allows players to take an active role in shaping
• 35:15
  the story of the Crucible. This game has a story. Yeah well this
• 35:22
  will take the form of special event kept containing the fun and surprising materials required
• 35:27
  for players to make their mark on key Forge history. More information about it
• 35:30
  in twenty twenty four. Summer Special Event will be forthcoming this April. I'm
• 35:39
  hoping for a lot on this, I mean I am. I'm looking forward
• 35:42
  to it. I would now cheap when we had our Mac Warrior events for
• 35:46
  their storyline events, and they did impact, like how I saw some of
• 35:52
  the story unfolding. I enjoyed that, so for me, this is something
• 35:54
  where I would love to see it impact a house here. Bring a deck
• 35:59
  that has one of these two houses, but you can't have both. And
• 36:02
  I really do want to see something where it's tallied online, where we can
• 36:06
  see as the month goes on, which house is going to be in or
• 36:08
  which house is going to be out. I think we need to have it
• 36:10
  communicated ahead of time. But this could be a really neat event that basically
• 36:16
  spans the whole world and we can have an impact on what's happening. I
• 36:22
  think it'll be cool. All right, Playstyles Access you can get Playstyle Software.
• 36:28
  I don't know what this said. Keyboards worked in partnership with play Style
• 36:30
  Software not only to directly support official Keyboard tournaments complete with deck and Vault master
• 36:36
  integration, but have been working to support retail promotions and events scheduling within its
• 36:42
  retail and event locator tools. Coming soon later this year, we plan for
• 36:47
  both players and retailers to be able to create events and run tournaments directly in
• 36:52
  play Styles. Where is the is the play Styles holding the event locator?
• 36:58
  Yes? Why is it not the master vault because where the tournament stuff is?
• 37:07
  Okay, I'm an not have Master Vault accounts, and because their future
• 37:12
  games will use play Style but not the Master Vault. That's why. Okay,
• 37:15
  but if I'm a new player, Hi, I'm a new player,
• 37:19
  how do I find out where these tournaments are being held? Well, you
• 37:22
  would imagine there's going to be a link in the Master Vault that says mind
• 37:27
  events here, and it just brings you to play style. You would think,
• 37:30
  tbd, who knows what we just I just want to actually gets implemented.
• 37:39
  Just that's all I wanted. I like the idea of a store locator,
• 37:45
  But how it's actually gonna be rolled out, we don't know yet.
• 37:50
  All Right, twenty twenty four Vault tours, they will be happening large dedicated
• 37:59
  key for I've hosted in geographically distinct areas and the largest global blah blah blah
• 38:02
  blah blah, something about merchandise. All right. The first Vault Tour will
• 38:07
  be in Roseville, Minnesota, April fifth, the seventh, twenty twenty four.
• 38:17
  Okay, sheep, cheep's a little bit a little bit frustrated, you'll
• 38:21
  hear, why, but where it's good news that we have this now,
• 38:24
  in my opinion, this statement right strated because he can't go. That is
• 38:30
  exactly it. But here's here's where I think this, this sheet right here
• 38:34
  with op should have been what was released literally at Worlds. But you have
• 38:40
  the hype, you have the build up right here, we can know where
• 38:44
  Roseville is. You're right back in April fifth through seventh. Now look for
• 38:49
  more to come cheap. That would have saved you, because why can you
• 38:52
  not be there April fifth through seventh because that's my kids spring break and we
• 38:57
  scheduled a vacation then because because did you think that we would have a VT
• 39:04
  that early? I did not think we would have a VT that early.
• 39:07
  And did you think that it would be like I should not schedule something in
• 39:14
  April because of Vault tours. I mean, Minnesota wouldn't be that bad to
• 39:19
  change planes now because it's my drivable Vault tour and now I don't get to
• 39:25
  go. I'm sure there will be another one in Minnesota. Don't worry,
• 39:30
  Yeah, don't worry. Geographically diverse is going to be the front room,
• 39:37
  the back room, the side room. They might they might have one on
• 39:43
  the city. The war gaming tables and that mm hmm. That's almost as
• 39:50
  much stir as I saw from Josh going ahead and posting, hey, where's
• 39:53
  a large game shop down in this state in our discover and everyone jumping like,
• 39:59
  hey, hey hey we we we can hold you, we can hold
• 40:01
  this many tables like I, I honestly do think that going ahead and using
• 40:07
  game stores that are larger if you can partner. There are other games that
• 40:10
  have done it. It's a great choice versus investing in venues like Live did
• 40:16
  where there's just a loss of money. Now you will pay for some of
• 40:20
  it, but there's a huge advantage for the store and it can be a
• 40:23
  nice partnership. So I would love to see it. But we'll have to
• 40:28
  see what Vault tour is coming towards you guys. Yeah, one in Milwaukee,
• 40:32
  probably not the this weekend. Global and geographical hubs like Draft Corps that's
• 40:44
  right. Hell yeah, So I don't know where Solarly lives. Just docks
• 40:52
  myself on air these somewhere somewhere, so the uh so I don't know that
• 41:00
  I can actually go to this April fifth through seventh, because that we too.
• 41:07
  Man, it's the eclipse. We are actually have a hotel booked to
• 41:13
  watch a family Yeah, man, are you in are you in the actual
• 41:20
  line where yeah, well not in my house. That's why we're yes,
• 41:24
  yes, So we're actually going to Lake Champlain. We have like we're going
• 41:29
  to be like on the lake for the eclipse. It's probably gonna be cold,
• 41:32
  but it's gonna be really cool. So kids, yeah, yeah,
• 41:38
  whole family. I should. It's like it's only like an hour from from
• 41:45
  Montreal, so it's pretty close, right, going going to Minnesota. It's
• 41:53
  me j R. And John. I really want to go. I don't
• 41:58
  know if I can, Like I was trying to figure out, like what
• 42:00
  if I like, like, what if it is a Friday sealed and then
• 42:06
  I leave on Saturday, the fly to Albany and get picked up while my
• 42:10
  family is driving up. This sounds like a terrible idea. All right,
• 42:15
  let's move forward and sheep cheap hold on. Please know that mac Bunny did
• 42:22
  ask to go ahead and run ping fraud since you were out, so we've
• 42:28
  already put DIBs on. Multiple people are expecting frad has already been dibbed.
• 42:31
  No worries, guys, see there there you go. But Wookie, when
• 42:37
  you're going to have it and run and forward, you missed. They get
• 42:39
  access to special key Forge merchandise by these ball tours. Yeah yeah, you
• 42:46
  also, are we going to talk about the next paragraph. I'm working on
• 42:51
  it if we'd all be quiet. All right? Wait, who got DIBs
• 42:54
  on fraud? M you you did? Okay? I was gonna say,
• 42:59
  did somebody getta for me? Those fuckers? Thank you for your donation.
• 43:04
  Yeah yeah. In twenty twenty three, Ghost Galaxies offered cash prizes to Vault
• 43:12
  Tour winners. However, this did not have the energizing effect required to warrant
• 43:16
  continuation and feedback from key Forge communities. Largely was that cash prizes did not
• 43:22
  feel meaningful or necessary. In twenty twenty four, Vaults all stop stop there
• 43:29
  because I think I know that this community, We've seen it go back and
• 43:32
  forth and tell you I could see a reduction in the money. I don't
• 43:38
  think the total amount hold time, what was there? No, but listen,
• 43:43
  listen to be there. Okay, I'll know it doesn't need to be
• 43:45
  there, but I'm still saying seeing it completely gone and from eliminated from your
• 43:52
  worlds, then that your whoever wins worlds doesn't even have money. I think
• 43:59
  long term that is not good for our game. They didn't say they didn't
• 44:01
  never bring it back, like no, but they didn't say that they're there
• 44:06
  and everyone's jumping in, Oh, they're going to use the money for marketing.
• 44:08
  Man, they haven't done anything with marketing that's more money that it's just
• 44:13
  gone use the money. So they in the red. Yeah, that is
• 44:17
  what the crazy story. But here's here's the thing. Originally I said cash
• 44:22
  needed to be I thought I thought it was something that would drive people out,
• 44:25
  that would get players to the game. It did not, like just
• 44:30
  straight up numbers did not increase at at like Vault Tour to Vault to her
• 44:37
  just because cash was there did not make more people come out. So I
• 44:44
  mean many of us went too many. Did you meet a single person at
• 44:49
  a Vault to her who was new to key Forge, which I did,
• 44:52
  that also said I'm here because there's cash prizes. No, No, like
• 44:57
  there were There are like one or two people that I kind of know of
• 45:01
  that got into key Forage after Vault Warrior was announced, but never having the
• 45:07
  fruition. Yeah, but they're not really around anymore. I will say that
• 45:15
  there was a core group of us that made multiple vaults, and I think
• 45:21
  that the elimination of cash prizes really cuts down on individuals being able to do
• 45:25
  that. To come out for a box. I'm sorry, and we don't
• 45:29
  even know what We don't know what it is because they're only because only because
• 45:35
  they put it in the first place. The only reason they can't get rid
• 45:37
  of it or it's hard to get rid of it they did get rid of
• 45:39
  it is because they put it in. If they had never put it in
• 45:43
  in the first place, nobody'd be like. But what I'm saying, DRez,
• 45:49
  you would not have had the same amount of They tried to do it
• 45:52
  to attract people, but what it did is it brought a group of individuals
• 45:55
  out to multiple vaults. I don't think I think that's why I think that
• 46:01
  it is. He wouldn't have come as many if there was I'm telling you
• 46:06
  what I really I'm telling you, Yes, I would not have been able
• 46:08
  to go to as many without the cash that was there. And I think
• 46:12
  that you're going to see that it's going to turn into some more localized vaults,
• 46:16
  which I'm perfectly fine with. Key forges will do very very well with
• 46:20
  that. But I'm telling you, I don't think we're going to see as
• 46:22
  many individuals going ahead and traveling prove me wrong. This is great for the
• 46:27
  community. But I'm telling you I think I think that I'm talking about that
• 46:32
  core group that went to multiple vaults. You're you're un A lot of them
• 46:38
  aren't going to be going to much this year, so I can go ahead
• 46:43
  and tele But but it was more than Team says too. You saw a
• 46:47
  number of individuals from two of your more competitive groups that are just it is
• 46:55
  not necessarily there. I will leave it at that, but I think the
• 47:00
  prizes did help people to go ahead and say, hey, I'll invest in
• 47:02
  this game. I'll go ahead and acquire this deck, and that could be
• 47:06
  really good for us. But I'm telling you right now, I can say
• 47:09
  I will not be going to as many because I just don't see anything pay
• 47:14
  out unless the deck. Okay, and you can read the next what they're
• 47:17
  looking at instead? Are you sure? And then I can talk about that.
• 47:22
  Therefore, the twenty twenty four Vault Tour and the twenty twenty four World
• 47:25
  Championship will not feature cash prizes. Instead, alternate prizes and honors are planned
• 47:31
  that we hope will bring smiles to players faces. The lack of here's what's
• 47:42
  happening. But the less pause, they haven't figured that out yet. They
• 47:49
  haven't quite they haven't quite hammered out like what they're going to give out yet,
• 47:53
  which is that's that's where the problem is. Like all of this we
• 47:58
  know takes time and cash. Prizing was a little bit easier, and that
• 48:02
  there is something that was there. It here, I can sign this out
• 48:07
  and it did help when you were going ahead and pulling back some of the
• 48:12
  costs for these vaults. Vaults. Attending a vault is not just here's a
• 48:15
  cheap piece. There are some Like for US Minnesota was cheaper because we could
• 48:19
  drive to it, but when I came out to Philly, even with staying
• 48:22
  over with Drazz, there was additional fees that went into that trip. I
• 48:29
  don't we need from my house, you know, no, but we need
• 48:35
  we need some of the prizing to be meaningful. We've talked about FAB that
• 48:38
  if you can go to a FAB event and then turn around and take some
• 48:40
  of that prizes and it can curb some of the cost. I enjoy hanging
• 48:45
  out with our key Forge community well, and there's a lot of joy there,
• 48:50
  but if it's just a pure joy I think we're Nick Dras and I
• 48:55
  are just not on that side of the thing because we don't sell the crap
• 49:01
  we win. We also don't particularly air if we win or not, Like
• 49:10
  it's the experience of the event, that's what we're paying to go to,
• 49:16
  you know, like I so you're willing to pay for a again. This
• 49:21
  is why I say it's going to be my very vault. I could in
• 49:23
  the twenty nineteen season when you didn't win anything, and we also saw you
• 49:29
  show up in the middle of a snowstorm. Like there's some fanaticism that's here.
• 49:32
  It doesn't make it that it is. Yeah, but that doesn't everybody's
• 49:37
  on your side. Where I'm not saying about because there's money and prizes,
• 49:42
  I'm not, but I'm saying that I do think because a number of people
• 49:45
  of voice, Oh, it's not going to be that. I mean,
• 49:47
  and there's a number of people of voice that the people who come out because
• 49:51
  of the money and the amount they're investing to play and the qualities and things,
• 49:54
  doesn't make for a better event either. Like that, they're both.
• 49:59
  They're all valid to some extent and day right. The main point that you
• 50:08
  know, you guys had talking last year about the vaults when they announced only
• 50:13
  cash prizing is They're like, hey, I mean a majority of the people
• 50:15
  that attend aren't walking away with cool things to remember this buy or maybe that's
• 50:20
  they want to say a lot of people were bothered by We need the majority
• 50:23
  of people to walk away with something. I agree with you. Do you
• 50:28
  walked away with three decks this year? Yep? Yeah, I mean not
• 50:36
  gonna lie. I'm kind of happy cash prizing is gone. An expense that
• 50:40
  didn't need to put out there. Was it nice shirt? Did it need
• 50:45
  happen? I'm sure would be nice to win some of that money. It
• 50:51
  It helps, It helps to be able to curb when you're coming out on
• 50:54
  the longer trap. I'm just gonna say, I mean, yeah, if
• 50:58
  if you're in that level of money where that is part of thing, which
• 51:02
  there are plenty of people that that does effect, but that but it's not
• 51:13
  everybody. Again, it's a number and an amount that you can't define or
• 51:17
  not but again, define what number is it that makes it so people can
• 51:22
  actually come out and go. And the fact that is at the Good events,
• 51:25
  only eight out of the one hundred people showing up are actually doing anything,
• 51:30
  which means if you're planning to get that, you're either full of yourself
• 51:36
  or your Z or your novah. It's not a it's not a matter of
• 51:39
  planning for it. I'm telling you. It helps to deviate the cost and
• 51:44
  expense for them, but only if you actually win anything. But the top
• 51:49
  eight, again, you had options. I think it should again, I
• 51:54
  think the top eight should have had it if you let me finish. Top
• 51:59
  four is where it paid out. But top four basically paid for your trip
• 52:01
  unless you're going an exorbitant distance. It was very, very very close to
• 52:07
  being able to break even. I mean your your expected value is not super
• 52:15
  high, right, so I mean it was probabilistic, so your expected value
• 52:19
  is more than zero, and there was payout, but your expected value was
• 52:27
  nowhere near the costs of the travel. So now there's the psychological Oh but
• 52:31
  I could pay for this, but really you had to be able to pay
• 52:36
  for it to go, like if you were counting on it. This isn't
• 52:40
  This isn't after effect of Hey I did well, I had a great weekend
• 52:45
  and this helped. But it's not it's not a psychology. Anyone's counting on
• 52:49
  it it's a bonus afterwards. Cash prizes replaced the need for ascension because the
• 52:54
  fact that I'm not winning money, but I've already spent all my money going
• 52:58
  means i can't go to more events, so I've been ascended out. Anyways,
• 53:01
  this is exact value. This is why I'm saying the ets will be
• 53:06
  closer to being more localized than what you saw in the past year, which
• 53:09
  can be a good thing for KeyForge. But that's not what even happened in
• 53:14
  nineteen when there wasn't prizes. I'm telling you you saw a lot of the
• 53:17
  same people going ahead and placing high in both nineteen and here. Yeah,
• 53:23
  so I don't know why you think it's going to change that much. Right,
• 53:27
  suddenly, give us the maths. You were going to give us the
• 53:29
  maths. Give us the math I was going to give you the math saying
• 53:32
  every game is a coin flip. Right, If you go in and then
• 53:36
  you have a fifty person tournament, maybe split between ark on a fifty person
• 53:40
  ark on fifty percent alliance because there's a ten thousand pool. Say you play
• 53:45
  in both like it happened at that one vault. You're expected of value is
• 53:47
  only two hundred dollars if I did the math right, which I expected that.
• 53:52
  It is pretty easy if you playing both right. But you can't play
• 53:57
  both right. So wow, it's that one event. Well, it made
• 54:00
  the mat you that high, it's got to be lower than that. It's
• 54:02
  two hundred dollars for fifty person playing in both events and so yeah. So
• 54:09
  so if you cut it so, you're you're only expecting to make two hundred
• 54:14
  dollars by going to there. So if your travels more than two hundred dollars,
• 54:17
  you've expected values not there, which means anything more than local mctual.
• 54:22
  Surprised even that high. But that's why you're doing the maths so right,
• 54:28
  right, I mean two hundred dollars, that's that's one night at the hotel.
• 54:35
  H Now, if you split that and uh, you get you know,
• 54:38
  Chainsaw Wookie with you that you're gonna spend a lot less but my cuddle
• 54:45
  buddy this year. But I think this is where it really comes down to.
• 54:50
  In the AC live show, you can see if the swag is good
• 54:52
  enough, we're seeing the ask to be there. And and I do agree
• 54:58
  that going ahead and offering the swag to everyone who can potentially keep it or
• 55:02
  sell it, gives other options, but we have too many options right now,
• 55:07
  right now, if you get just a box and that box is not
• 55:13
  worth your time, I'm sorry, but an eighty dollars box, I cannot
• 55:16
  go ahead and resell. I can't. There were multiple boxes that we could
• 55:22
  get for woe sitting at eighty dollars this year, so it's not it was
• 55:28
  very brief, but even one hundred dollars. That one hundred dollars is not
• 55:31
  going to go ahead and turn around that you're making another one hundred dollars.
• 55:35
  When When when did you become a person who only plays games because there's prizes?
• 55:40
  I'm not, but I'm telling you if you've never been about prize,
• 55:44
  but there are people who come out in and incentivizis we want to listen for
• 55:50
  people that you think want prizes. I'm not. I'm not thinking. We
• 55:53
  want to be able to increase what the prizes are, and unfortunately, Gigi's
• 56:01
  run last year proved that that is an area that needs to be in increased
• 56:07
  drastically, and I believe they will hopefully. The biggest thing I'm seeing here
• 56:13
  right now is EU players being all pissy because we don't know if they're good.
• 56:17
  Did they say anything about travel vouchers for first place? No? They
• 56:22
  nothing. The other big takeaway was what you just said. Last year I
• 56:30
  qualified going second for Worlds. Right now it is simply listed as first,
• 56:35
  and that is a huge change. That's a massive change, And I cannot
• 56:42
  stress that enough because the finals was a pretty chill, relaxed event of hey,
• 56:46
  we both qualify, We're going to Worlds. Like, that's awesome.
• 56:50
  I'm looking forward to it. But now you like, there's so many things
• 56:53
  that can go wrong just to get into the top eight, let alone into
• 56:58
  the top four, top two. But now you have to just be that
• 57:01
  one person just so I don't like. I don't like that change. I
• 57:06
  don't. Let's look at those numbers quick though. So say they want to
• 57:08
  run thirty two player events again next year, right, and now there's going
• 57:15
  to be three of them, So it's ninety six players that they have to
• 57:19
  sit. Right. Unless there is double the number of events that have qualifiers
• 57:29
  this year as last year, there will be less people available to phillies,
• 57:35
  which means there would be instead of having to be top twenty in the last
• 57:38
  chance qualifier, you're gonna be like top fifty five would be getting seats or
• 57:44
  something silly like that unless they double the number of qualifying events, which is
• 57:47
  why what I don't go to any of the vaults, save my money and
• 57:51
  just go to Minnesota for the last Chance qualifier. Like that's but again,
• 57:57
  like this, this is the thing where you're de valuing the experience of the
• 58:02
  vault, that going and playing in a vault has no value outside of getting
• 58:06
  the prize. It needs to be it needs to go ahead and be raised
• 58:14
  Dan. It has to be a balance where right now, going ahead and
• 58:16
  putting too many people in in our last chance qualifier actually devalues the vaults.
• 58:22
  And so it's a really happy medium that we have to do. I'm not
• 58:25
  arguing that by any means, Like I'm with you, like the the value
• 58:31
  of the vaults needs to be more than just breaking rights that I run a
• 58:37
  vault. I'm with them where I don't. Although I would have never been
• 58:44
  said to win cash, I would have not been that excited because it just
• 58:52
  goes back into this point, not point. Let's put this for me,
• 58:58
  and I know I'm not everybody else, but it just goes back into the
• 59:00
  bucket of moneies that I can spend, and it's not like three months later,
• 59:07
  I don't go like, look at my this. Nope, it's still
• 59:10
  just it just goes back into the nebulous bucket of money. Because all I
• 59:15
  gotta say is they're better be championship belt. We're at an hour. We
• 59:17
  need to keep pushing forward. National championships. They're gonna happen. Key Forge
• 59:24
  National Championships for US will be at gen Con in early August, as it
• 59:30
  was last year. National Championships will take place between August first and September thirtieth,
• 59:37
  and then obviously they're gonna have more information National Championships coming in March.
• 59:43
  World Championships will be November seventh through the tenth in Shucker, Roseville, Minnesota.
• 59:52
  Let's see how to get in. World Championship invites are earned by winning
• 59:57
  twenty twenty four national Championships or vault. Those players who won the twenty twenty
• 1:00:00
  three Open or Arkon or Alliance World Championships are invited with their respective formats to
• 1:00:07
  the twenty twenty four World Championships. So oh okay. Those players who won
• 1:00:13
  the twenty twenty three are Con or Alliance Open are invited. Finally, last
• 1:00:17
  chance qualifiers will be held in twenty twenty three. This is the same thing,
• 1:00:24
  right, non so instead non cash but still wonderful prizes and honors will
• 1:00:31
  be bestowed upon World Championships finalists in twenty twenty four. Yeah. I mean,
• 1:00:36
  if they are wonderful, people will start to forget about the cash.
• 1:00:42
  They got to be pretty good, though, they do have to be pretty
• 1:00:44
  good. I agree with your locke, the prizes need to be pretty good.
• 1:00:47
  Like you can't just be like, can's your change? They can do
• 1:00:52
  it. Custom Gigi jerseys that is pretty wonderful. One Canet's favorite online.
• 1:01:00
  Maybe maybe it's a signed Janet jersey. The mythical twenty two prizing that never
• 1:01:07
  existed. Yeah uh, we kind of already really went into store championships,
• 1:01:15
  so we could probably dig further into that another day. So tell your store
• 1:01:21
  to order pre champ I'm sorry, tell your store to order store championship stuff.
• 1:01:25
  And Dan has already said the artwork looks weird. Yeah, wait what
• 1:01:34
  artwork? Maybe maybe key Forge cartoon coming and that's just a clip from it.
• 1:01:38
  Maybe it's not true, but going to be one of my cards.
• 1:01:45
  All right, New restricted list has popped out. No, you got more
• 1:01:52
  than enough for another day? Man, I think, so you want to
• 1:01:55
  want to cut it here? Yeah, yeah, I can say restricted list.
• 1:01:59
  So that's why one thing I will say, new restricted list has popped
• 1:02:02
  up. Make sure you check it out. Notable entries or the new entries
• 1:02:07
  I guess are a fuddled kronos fof transponder, halifast and furnace and legionary trainer.
• 1:02:13
  Not going to dig too much into that. What else do we have?
• 1:02:17
  New tournament guidelines and rules have popped up, so go, we'll go
• 1:02:22
  into that another day. Finally, winds of Exchange do we cover? I
• 1:02:27
  think I feel like we've covered. Wind of Exchange is sold? Like has
• 1:02:30
  no more? So Dan has your three hundred dollars boxes of winds of Exchange
• 1:02:35
  because Groom Reminders is going to be a dud. Set there I said,
• 1:02:42
  it's going to be a dud. It's in blue package. I take it's
• 1:02:47
  gonna it's in blue packaging. Doud. Yeah you don't know what else you's
• 1:02:52
  been wrong? Fine, Yeah, that's right. So I'm just saying,
• 1:02:58
  like, God, I just I get the feeling it's gonna just all be
• 1:03:02
  dex But instead of it's gonna be boo And what's the key cheat spooge key
• 1:03:10
  spooche Oh yeah at times? Is that really what it was called? Yep,
• 1:03:16
  spooky spooky or the ecto charge. Well it's now in forever. Yeah,
• 1:03:22
  it's ecto charge, isn't it. It's now in forever called spooge key.
• 1:03:31
  So so, by the way, the fact that the Winds of Exchange
• 1:03:36
  sold out, so it is good news, I think it's it's good news.
• 1:03:42
  Well in some ways it's like, yeah, it is sold right,
• 1:03:43
  but I think it is a little bit more of their model can be effective,
• 1:03:50
  which is in some ways that's like the best I think this is because
• 1:03:55
  this is also true if Winds of Exchange isn't buried next of the et cartridges,
• 1:04:01
  Well that's true, right, So we're we're we're we're trusting that this
• 1:04:04
  is this isn't spin. But they have the ability to print. Yeah,
• 1:04:11
  so this is a print on demand sort of like it's their artiforge. So
• 1:04:15
  they can print segments chunks, right, and they can much more carefully control
• 1:04:21
  this printing process. It probably is more expensive for them the print there than
• 1:04:26
  it is to print in China and ship it over on a boat, they
• 1:04:30
  get stuck in the Suez Canal, but they can control it much more so
• 1:04:35
  you don't have unsold decks filling up shelves. And so this I think is
• 1:04:44
  saying, hey, they can control their costs and just print at the level
• 1:04:49
  at which they can at least sell to distributors. And so now their only
• 1:04:54
  problem is all the AOA out there, which is why Martian Generosi is still
• 1:04:58
  here. But we'll talk about that another time. I just want to say
• 1:05:02
  it's a time for you guys to all pay up. At the end of
• 1:05:06
  last episode, I saidn't putting money down that we're not going to talk about
• 1:05:10
  Grimande's cards. Yeah, oh yeah, this is true. I mean,
• 1:05:13
  we all knew you were right. Hold on, hold on, let's just
• 1:05:16
  let's take a little deeper to that one episode. That's true because I hadn't
• 1:05:24
  had a beautiful and hey, shout out to my brother who's getting into key
• 1:05:30
  for man, they didn't see nothing. That's right, Well, I guess,
• 1:05:38
  And then the next day the op news came, Actually we do all
• 1:05:43
  who we do all owe money to? Who's that? You me? Still
• 1:05:46
  Draft Corps? Probably yes, of course. Why however, Dress Corps Draftscore
• 1:05:53
  went a little too deep with his predictions. Did I I believe you said
• 1:05:58
  we would be talking about it on the eighteenth? Oh yeah, I did
• 1:06:02
  say that. Now, I said Josh was going to announce it here.
• 1:06:04
  Now, however it was released on the twelfth. Well, you know,
• 1:06:09
  so if Bob Barker rules in effect, you are over. But you know
• 1:06:15
  we release we record on Thursdays. Yeah, so why do we owe Josh
• 1:06:19
  money? I mean because we need grim Reminders decks? Did we buy it?
• 1:06:25
  Did he buy me a drink last time we were out there? Probably?
• 1:06:29
  Maybe I do all money? I don't know, possible, Jaz.
• 1:06:32
  When you were talking about the amount of decks that have been printed, have
• 1:06:35
  you guys looked at how many decks for Wins of Exchange have been scanned?
• 1:06:40
  Or that's what I wanted at all? Yeah about there now, because like
• 1:06:46
  being sold out. It's like, well if I make ten and I sell
• 1:06:49
  all ten, and I'm like, well who sold out? Like is that
• 1:06:53
  a great you know what I mean? Well, so like I said,
• 1:06:56
  no, it's not. It's I think it's because their model is potentially working
• 1:07:01
  that they can print the amount they need and then that's it, right,
• 1:07:05
  So that that and that's my question. Happens now? Okay, So now
• 1:07:11
  I'm a new player and I want to get some winds of exchange. Now
• 1:07:14
  I just pay an observant amount of like that is like going to stop people
• 1:07:18
  from possibly opening decks. Well right, right, Like okay, but okay,
• 1:07:27
  but here's the deal, right, we've seen bad sets, right remember
• 1:07:30
  DT? Remember how bad that was? DT worse set, DT worse set.
• 1:07:36
  Right, So if you have a flop of a set, I forgot
• 1:07:41
  where the hell it was going with this, I don't know, you just
• 1:07:43
  print more of the previous one then, right, right? Is that possible
• 1:07:47
  though? Like can they just be like all right, we're just going to
• 1:07:49
  go back and print a whole bunch of like if you're a flop of the
• 1:07:53
  set and you need to go and like, so I'm a new player,
• 1:07:56
  and so what my option? Basically, let's just seeoretically, right, I
• 1:08:00
  remember my point? Theoretically for a new player, just stroll with me down
• 1:08:04
  this thought path, and my only option right now is to buy Grim Reminders.
• 1:08:11
  But Grimmer Minders is who you can. You can still get CODA and
• 1:08:15
  m M at retail, right, yeah, yeah, anyway, much below
• 1:08:19
  retail, right. But we live in a world where my options are Woe
• 1:08:26
  and Whoe and DT are Grim Reminders, And that is I mean, for
• 1:08:31
  Sealed, they did go ahead and post that you'll be choosing from the latest
• 1:08:34
  two sets, giving some exceptions, you know, if the newest set isn't
• 1:08:39
  available to kind of go back to the previous set. I'm just saying that
• 1:08:42
  they need to be, like your sets now, have to be bangers,
• 1:08:46
  all of them because for a new player coming really for a new player coming
• 1:08:54
  into the community and them a d T. Yeah, but no, but
• 1:09:00
  they let's I mean, they have aspirations of going places right and they want
• 1:09:05
  to be really good, right, But my options of opening decks are DT.
• 1:09:11
  It's it's only allowing them pretty much one set. And unless you know
• 1:09:15
  scalpers like Sheep right, they will say they have to do a better job
• 1:09:18
  right to or you know, they did they did well with with Woe,
• 1:09:23
  and I think it seems to me that Grimm Reminders will be good. I
• 1:09:30
  don't I don't know that it's better than Whoe, but it seems to me
• 1:09:33
  like it's going to be, you know, worth worth playing now, is
• 1:09:39
  it? So? I don't think it's going to be as bad as DT
• 1:09:43
  or or ao A. Now will it be as good as those others more?
• 1:09:48
  Yeah, I don't know, but time only time will tell. Yeah,
• 1:09:54
  I'm just saying the problem now the time. The problem I see what
• 1:09:57
  this happening is. I can't just go back a set and buy some stuff.
• 1:10:01
  I mean I can hopefully, but like could just go buy some This
• 1:10:09
  is for sealed and sealed it locks them. No, this is for anything,
• 1:10:12
  Like I want to go buy an ARCon deck and I'm going to just
• 1:10:15
  open a bunch of product. But my only option is reminders. Yeah,
• 1:10:20
  yeah, everybody finds everybody. I see this all over. But grim Reminders
• 1:10:26
  is so busted. It's better than well, I don't know about that.
• 1:10:30
  You know how many people said that about AOA, that it was all it's
• 1:10:32
  going to be better than CODA and then it just so. To give us
• 1:10:38
  some numbers, I'm gonna give a shut off. Right now. We have
• 1:10:43
  just under three point two mil Okay decks total decks that have been registered.
• 1:10:47
  Out of that, you have one point three roughly for Call of the Arcons.
• 1:10:53
  The next highest set is Age of Ascension coming in it roughly seven hundred
• 1:10:59
  thousand. So you have to realize that CODA is almost double of what sorry
• 1:11:04
  AOA is. Almost CODA is almost double of what AOA is. And so
• 1:11:09
  we've just been tapering back and you've seen that. When you see that,
• 1:11:12
  you have that AOA still has barely scratched. I think AOA got its first
• 1:11:16
  vault to her top eight appearances this year. What I am saying is the
• 1:11:21
  total amount of decks. If you look at I mean, honestly, for
• 1:11:25
  the last vault, Woe went ahead and dominated pretty consistently, and considering how
• 1:11:30
  many decks have been opened versus what's there, I think that GG has done
• 1:11:34
  a great job to make WOE competitive. When you go ahead and look at
• 1:11:38
  world's collide, they're showing that it's roughly upper five hundreds five hundred thousand.
• 1:11:45
  Going ahead and looking at your mass mutations, you're going ahead and looking at
• 1:11:49
  four hundred thousand. Going ahead and look at dark tidings, you get two
• 1:11:54
  hundred thousand in wins of exchange, as you said, was ninety one thousand,
• 1:11:58
  roughly. Like to see that you have multiple top eights that are coming
• 1:12:03
  from winds of exchange and are we're placing very very high and it could be
• 1:12:09
  open and they were competitive against frankly one point three million decks, Like there's
• 1:12:16
  there's some real say that new players I think are perfectly fine now but it's
• 1:12:21
  it's but it's a different model, like the idea of we're going to go
• 1:12:25
  out and print man, they're not printing nearly as much picture. If there
• 1:12:29
  was one point three million decks of whoa what you would be seeing and that
• 1:12:33
  could go for any of the other sets. I think those days are long
• 1:12:36
  past. But I like the model that they're using. I think it's interesting
• 1:12:42
  and I do think that we'll give for you. They have to put a
• 1:12:45
  little bit of fire in these these new sets, but I think we're gonna
• 1:12:48
  see what's there. They're just going to play differently. It's interesting when you
• 1:12:54
  everything is evergreen for Arkon, and I say that now for now, but
• 1:13:00
  right now, is there anything that they'll be so distracted by the band list?
• 1:13:06
  For Alliance? Maybe we'll actually get to keep uh Arkan? Who knows?
• 1:13:12
  Never do you feel? Do you do you feel that it was that
• 1:13:15
  broken this year? I mean we saw representation from a number of sets.
• 1:13:21
  I'm not gonna say all, but a number Well, no, you didn't
• 1:13:25
  I feel good about what was going on beside zero DT. Yeah, no,
• 1:13:28
  no DT, you're no DT. But that spanked Southerly. Ah.
• 1:13:35
  What dress the nine year old? Or dress dress car? Yeah? Yeah,
• 1:13:42
  the nine year old. Ye, it's crafty, crafty kid. I
• 1:13:45
  think it's interesting if you look at the numbers and it does show it's it's
• 1:13:53
  interesting. It is interesting. But with that being said, we've gone far
• 1:13:57
  enough. Join us next week where we talk about banning restricted most and likely
• 1:14:00
  actually nothing's banned, it's just all restricted and uh, I don't know,
• 1:14:06
  are they You can join me and Ewok. Maybe we're gonna do a thing.
• 1:14:12
  We're probably gonna do it on a video. Or we are headed to
• 1:14:16
  the one K Larkana Invitational. I added that last week to make it sound
• 1:14:20
  better. What yeah, So maybe uh, mister Ewok and I do a
• 1:14:29
  fun episode about Larkana our experience. Now you might have a video kids in
• 1:14:33
  a tournament. Uh, you never know. One thousand dollars up for grabs.
• 1:14:41
  Actually there's five k across the weekend. But I will say, Josh,
• 1:14:45
  you know so I stepped in. You did a really nice job.
• 1:14:47
  I appreciate being able to see this outline and it's a step in the right
• 1:14:53
  direction. We want to see, you know, a few more details,
• 1:14:56
  but I like the general outline, and we need articles to create content.
• 1:15:01
  Not necessarily. We still haven't gone through the reminders kind of yeah, we
• 1:15:10
  haven't. It's been a long time. We're too busy arguing with ourselves,
• 1:15:15
  that's right. And next week we got to go through the Alliance restricted list.
• 1:15:19
  I don't think there's any major taint changes be sides for the ones that
• 1:15:23
  we already talked about for the tournament rules and guidelines. So I'm simply saying,
• 1:15:30
  mister Josh, if you want to come in and tell us more about
• 1:15:32
  these upcoming vaults, spoil it here. We will go ahead and gladly invite
• 1:15:38
  you in to say, hey, here's the key dates. It would be
• 1:15:41
  wonderful to go ahead and have that because then it allows people to block off
• 1:15:45
  those dates. I still have the open invitation to CTP to be able to
• 1:15:49
  talk about some of our questions that we have as well. But I always
• 1:15:54
  enjoyed being able to li to this show. Nope, but I'm hopeful that
• 1:15:58
  one day he will and he'll come on on a level of like grumpness from
• 1:16:05
  like zero, like you know, your first started out with CODO or whatever
• 1:16:09
  or ten being like your most grumpy you've been. What's what's the current grump?
• 1:16:14
  What's like, what's the grump level at right now? Yeah? Yeah,
• 1:16:16
  I'm trying to trying to get a gauge grump level for what Why are
• 1:16:21
  we grumpy at all? Well? Well that's what I mean. You're always
• 1:16:25
  grumpy. Why the sheep is? But well, I'm not grumpy. I'm
• 1:16:30
  glad we got some I'm glad we got some info. I'm disappointed that I
• 1:16:36
  just realized that I possibly have an alliance deck that might work in twenty twenty
• 1:16:41
  four and it's missing a card. Now I gotta go find that it's here
• 1:16:45
  somewhere. I hope. For not being gruppy at all, there was a
• 1:16:49
  lot of complaining. Is I'm not complaining. It's called construction. It's called
• 1:16:56
  are you all ready for this show? Content? Constructed criticism. These things
• 1:17:02
  exist right like, Yes, it's not complaining, it's these are the things
• 1:17:08
  we need to know to move to the future. Constructive criticism. It's the
• 1:17:15
  word for twenty twenty four. And next week I will have an agency button
• 1:17:20
  on standby to play me screaming agency into the microphone every time, So you
• 1:17:28
  say agency. I mean the big takeaway for me is that the prizing has
• 1:17:31
  to be significantly better than what we saw, especially with the just going to
• 1:17:38
  give all the top four is high fives. I don't know. No,
• 1:17:41
  I'm telling you. If you are not giving prizing to the top eight,
• 1:17:45
  that's a problem and there needs to be something. There needs to be something
• 1:17:49
  that everyone is walking away with. I come to a VT. I'm spending
• 1:17:51
  time and money. Give me a little drink it. I know that you
• 1:17:56
  are experience. I'm just kidding. I'm over tired. At this point.
• 1:18:03
  It's ten o'clock. Sheep's checked out. I don't even know what he's doing.
• 1:18:08
  Yeah, we want to hear Sheep's gump levels. Probably he's probably playing
• 1:18:11
  mech Warrior right now online. Now I'm playing Keyborg. Okay, perfect,
• 1:18:16
  where's your grump level? Their Sheep don't have that much grump. I just
• 1:18:26
  you heard it here. You heard it here first, not that much,
• 1:18:29
  not that much. Pleasantly content with the level of KeyForge information that is out
• 1:18:35
  right now, you need to release no more. He's good, no,
• 1:18:39
  no, we also did just to keep this momentum delivering tomorrow. So that
• 1:18:45
  could also be just that it is pretty much meeting expectation well, meeting expected
• 1:18:51
  space level than missing expectations like minimum minimum requirement when you when you meet with
• 1:18:58
  your managers, like you're not fired a grump for a reason. He is
• 1:19:03
  an s one on his on his yearly review. Yeah. Sheep also went
• 1:19:09
  ahead and received an email that he is getting reminders and that she again.
• 1:19:14
  So you get somebody to buy this pledge forever? Yeah, Kirkman, the
• 1:19:18
  whole idea for its alliance doesn't mean it's constructive criticism. No, but we
• 1:19:23
  can't go ahead and just change it to sealed unified sealed and changing a name
• 1:19:28
  does not equate to sure it does, you know, peasing everyone there we
• 1:19:31
  wanted, we wanted sealed alliance. Sealed is perfectly fine. But you know,
• 1:19:38
  I'm happy that it's not the same as sealed. It's not the same,
• 1:19:41
  but I'm happy we've got something. We got to take baby steps sometimes.
• 1:19:46
  I just I hope the rumor isn't true that it's going to end up
• 1:19:50
  on a Friday, because then it's a self fulfilled prophecy for them to be
• 1:19:55
  like, oh you guys said you wanted Sealed back and Sealed wasn't very well
• 1:19:58
  attended. Well you put on a Friday when everybody's coming into town, Like,
• 1:20:02
  I hope that's not the case, and I'm gonna, I'm gonna,
• 1:20:04
  I'm gonna put on my positive energy cap right now. Well, and I
• 1:20:10
  can say, I guess one of the things about that is what time you
• 1:20:14
  know now that we have sealed, which is again sealed was more casual on
• 1:20:17
  Friday, But what time are we planning and running sealed? That that information
• 1:20:20
  there alone would be helpful to be able to know for me, I will
• 1:20:26
  argue that for Alliance, while it's not my shindig, if it brings in
• 1:20:29
  some people, great, I still think that having multiple formats splits our community
• 1:20:33
  and that's not good for us. It also, Alliance is not Alliance sealed.
• 1:20:40
  Alliance is fine. Alliance as an entity, even me playing at the
• 1:20:45
  Vault Tours, it is not what I had signed up for Soccer information on
• 1:20:51
  the April fifth of the seventh Vault Tour, Like what what what exactly am
• 1:20:56
  I looking at here? You know? Like, yeah, how much more
• 1:20:59
  ups am I gonna be? Or not? Right? Like? Is is
• 1:21:02
  it gonna be ar kind of alliance. Well maybe I don't know. Is
• 1:21:08
  it gonna be they said that, they didn't give the details, but it's
• 1:21:11
  gonna be. It's gonna be Seal Alliance. That's gonna be Alliance, and
• 1:21:15
  it's gonna be park On Now how they order that if they try to run
• 1:21:21
  all simultaneous, like, we don't know, but that it's gonna be those
• 1:21:25
  three things? Do we know this? That was suspected, but it has
• 1:21:32
  not been published as such. I don't think so highly suspected Friday for Sealed,
• 1:21:41
  Yes Alliance. As far as I know, nothing has been Really,
• 1:21:45
  we know nothing about how the twenty twenty four vault tours are gonna be run.
• 1:21:48
  It could just be, hey, we're gonna do a sealed that's it.
• 1:21:55
  It could be one for all we know. You don't know, you
• 1:21:58
  don't know. I mean if you look at this, so it's gonna to
• 1:22:00
  the Rise of Sealed article aka the Death of True Sealed. But let's look
• 1:22:05
  at the Rise of Sealed article. Okay, Uh, that's what it says.
• 1:22:12
  Let's say it says things. Yes, we know that all will hold
• 1:22:15
  all three? Yeah, where does it say that? So it's said in
• 1:22:24
  here. What did it say? Okay player okay? Sealed decically a future
• 1:22:29
  probably at all levels of main tournament events throughout the season. So I'm so
• 1:22:38
  I'm assuming that that wording is intending that, Hey, all the Vault Tours
• 1:22:43
  are going to include it? Where Sunny? Where has he confirmed that this
• 1:22:46
  is going to be? I haven't seen it. Now. Sometimes I come
• 1:22:50
  in and I have ninety six new messages on discord and I can't read them
• 1:22:54
  all. But I haven't seen any kind of Josh, can you con firm
• 1:23:00
  that every Vault Tour will have He's right there. If he's confirmed it in
• 1:23:03
  our in our discord, he can confirm it right now. Josh would like
• 1:23:08
  to raise his hand and speak, no, you can give us some official
• 1:23:10
  news, but I haven't seen any of that. The only thing I've seen
• 1:23:17
  is that it's that it's it's being added to the official You might raise a
• 1:23:24
  middle finger to us right now, appreciate your donation. That's three middle fingers
• 1:23:32
  are not donation worthy. This is a this is his audio only podcast,
• 1:23:39
  all right, let's take a look at this. Hey, I can tell
• 1:23:40
  you every VT will feature Sealed though. There you go, there you go.
• 1:23:45
  So Okay, so it'll be so it could be sealed in ARCon and
• 1:23:47
  it could be sealed in a lions. Now we're talking you again. It's
• 1:23:53
  not It does not confirm that all three. It just confirms sealed. Can't
• 1:23:59
  say anything about dates or when news drops can tell you. Every Vault Tour
• 1:24:03
  will feature sealed though, So every vaulteur will have sealed But you know,
• 1:24:10
  I don't like every on a discord is just not a place to do that
• 1:24:16
  kind of information release. That's my reading and I'm not going to reread it
• 1:24:21
  all out loud like what he is, right, But my reading was that,
• 1:24:25
  hey, it's going to be all right, it's going to be the
• 1:24:28
  three and every Vault Tour is going to have sealed ARC on your choice to
• 1:24:34
  play it though, mm hmmm, they've all had sealed ARCon. You have,
• 1:24:43
  you just haven't had the guts to do it. Yeah, there's this
• 1:24:47
  on you. Well, look probably the one person is like, I've done
• 1:24:54
  it, you fools. He did show up to an ARC I think open
• 1:25:00
  an AOA deck. Yeah he did. Yeah that was now now it was
• 1:25:04
  it was Kansas City, so it wasn't an official official event, but there
• 1:25:11
  were prizes yeah, and there were people flying in. I flew in right
• 1:25:17
  and and I'm now banned from uh Airbnb, but I was there. That's
• 1:25:27
  all right, It's probably better nowadays. Yeah, all right, that being
• 1:25:31
  said, let's wrap this up. We're at an hour and a half,
• 1:25:34
  ninety minutes. We love you all. Finally the quality content level. How
• 1:25:41
  we can sign off. It's time to go home. It's time to go
• 1:25:44
  to bed. I have to get my beauty rest for Lord Kana. Oh
• 1:25:48
  gosh, so you do need to post your dress up in princess pictures?
• 1:25:55
  I absolutely can even come in the key Forge chat. I will. I
• 1:25:59
  will absolutely send you pictures of me in my princess dress. I'm glad you
• 1:26:05
  that's all. You think that everyone goes to these dressed up as a disney?
• 1:26:10
  I mean, if you want to buy princess dressed to wear, I
• 1:26:14
  might go there. You know. I saw a We have a Saturday and
• 1:26:18
  Sunday for Lorcana, so Friday is not the choice that we have to worry
• 1:26:21
  about. To be honest with you, I might take you up on that
• 1:26:25
  cheap, but that makes sound. We'll see y'all next week. Happy forward
• 1:26:30
  and everyone. May the Forge be with you. I'd love to see you
• 1:26:36
  around, little bro. We missed it last time because we'll can cut it.
• 1:26:40
  But come play some KeyForge. It might make the cut, make my
• 1:26:46
  hommies. Yeah I don't, but I could do work now. Let me
• 1:27:01
  interrupt. See me around the green like a diamond in the rough, see
• 1:27:05
  me on a roll like the wheels on the bus, And don't worry about
• 1:27:09
  my name. You're going always soon enough beer rogers. Yeah, really,
• 1:27:13
  no bluff. They be a little young kid. I am growing up and
• 1:27:15
  I'm never slowing up. But I'm never in a rush, so I'm always
• 1:27:18
  taking time. When they tell me every of like chill son, like five
• 1:27:23
  more minutes. I gotta find the right place to rest. Mi
