Now, all right, everybody, what's going on? I'm the one,
0:21
the only, the s y D, and I e joined here by the
0:24
usual cast of misfits. We have Big b Bulevard, Blake Hey Hey,
0:29
and the Elf of Steel Chris Steele and our special guest tonight putting down those
0:35
coffees for CCP and Janet. We have j Suah. I have come here
0:39
to chew bubble gum and talk about KeyForge, and I'm all out of bubble
0:44
gum. Good thing too, because we are going to grill you for our
0:49
our opening, our opening segment here we want to know in uh doctor June's
0:55
absence OP segment Josh tell us about OP. Well, the good news our
1:00
Vault tour is quickly approaching. It's approximately a week away. We're still working
1:07
on details, so I will go ahead and let you know that eventually,
1:12
maybe by the end of this week we might have it finished. But IM
1:18
no, no, six to eight weeks. I think it's a really long
1:23
transition across parking lots, so hopefully we'll have product there. But Janet has
1:27
to carry it all by on our back, so I don't know. Well,
1:30
I'll be there to help if you want. We can just load some
1:34
into into our car on the way on the way. But I mean what
1:37
we will have a ton of and you guys got it definitely come out is
1:40
we can play some menagerie on the side and some un chain. So please
1:44
please definitely come on over. We'll play some menagerie. It's going to be
1:47
a blast. We will try to bring in as as much degenerate as decks
1:53
as we can. As my good friend Billy Gunn says, if you come
1:59
from the old school of wrestling, we all trained in sweatboxes, or we
2:02
trained up north where it was twenty below with no heater, we'll get it
2:06
done. Yeah, you better believe it all right, So let's dig into
2:09
you. Then, I guess what what are the prizes? What do you
2:13
What are you going to be giving us? What? What are we gonna
2:15
walk away with that's worth the three thousand dollars of cash last year. Well,
2:19
I've been running a lot of events and I can tell you from experience
2:22
that the prizes are what bring the people in. So as much as gameplay
2:27
is great and seeing everyone, it's it's the prizes are going to draw everyone
2:30
in. And I can tell you this firsthand from what I've been doing.
2:32
So how are you going to drive everyone in? What are these prizes?
2:35
I mean, I see I see pieces of plastic in your posts, and
2:38
I don't really know if that's going to draw people in, But like,
2:42
what are the goods? Like, there's a lot of shadows there are?
2:44
What are the shadows telling us, Josh, well, can I say no
2:49
comments or I've to use that one? Are? Uh? Okay, fine,
2:53
You've really pushed me there be And I'm really feeling that we've spent four
2:58
to six weeks working really really hard to make sure that you will have the
3:01
best prizes possible. We've made them in house. I have seen sign posters
3:08
by Janet. I have seen our own Janet or I don't know, an
3:14
elf, a steely elf going ahead him creating them by hand. But we
3:19
have these amazing, amazing mats. Now. I know that people keep talking
3:24
that you probably don't have enough mats. I mean, I know he has
3:28
more space on his wall for another one. But this just rank the prizes
3:32
that I've seen so far. I think matts are probably at the top.
3:37
And that's that's saying something. Okay, Matt's are at the top. Okay,
3:39
Well, This matt is so good, and what really separates out the
3:43
champion from second place is that it says runner up. Oh okay, I'm
3:50
We also have top eight mats, So all of those players four through eight
3:53
they have no problem this year. They're also going to walk away with a
3:58
mats. They're going to be so happy Doctor June getting a mat. That's
4:01
you know, at least she'll have nothing else to complain about. She will
4:05
be able to stay warm in this uh cold cold North. If you're coming
4:09
to visit, I know right, you can. You can wear the mats.
4:11
That's what That's what we're gonna do. We're gonna start wearing the mats.
4:14
That's that's the plan. Another key dreamcoat, but made of mats.
4:18
A dream coat. The other amazing thing that we're offering this year, doctor
4:24
June. Finally we we got we got doctor June on the line to uh
4:29
to give him the one two punch. Yeah all right, So Josh,
4:32
what what is supposed to be going on this season? Like? What am
4:36
I supposed to be looking forward to? You know? P I mean,
4:41
Doctor Sheep, you are late like usual, which is probably why you just
4:45
kept finishing in that top eight instead of actually you know, rounding it out.
4:47
But uh, since you're gonna go ahead and grill me today on this,
4:51
uh we have, as we said, sweet mats, and these mats
4:56
are for everyone in the top eight, so you you, sir, we'll
5:00
get a mat this year. That's great. I don't have enough matts.
5:02
I've got like forty so well we were saying we could wrap them up.
5:06
It can make clothing out of them and then to hold it together. You're
5:10
gonna actually get a vault to or pin that will be specific. I mean,
5:14
I'm I'm really happy for this ac crew. You guys gave me all
5:17
the ideas of what I really needed to make for a piece of things.
5:20
You know, I will give you my idea. Just make some money.
5:24
When when's the check coming? When's when's the check coming? Well I don't
5:28
really make that much any more. So yeah, okay, so I need
5:33
to know who asked for a pin because I didn't. Yeah. No,
5:38
Well they steal my ideas, whether they're good or not. So there's there's
5:41
nothing we can do. But I got to start, so uh fix bait
5:45
and switch and uh take take all my good ideas. We'll have to work
5:49
on bait and switch. I mean it was really really, really degenerate.
5:55
Probably don't want to go ahead and keep it that way. It would really
5:57
just put part of the forest in every single deck. We'll be now we're
6:00
talking. Yeah, So I mean we have pins and these these are really
6:04
cool pins. If you have not seen they say vault to our twenty four
6:10
Wow, and you will. You will have so much blame. You print
6:15
it, you can show it off. Well, we just put twenty four
6:18
live. When we ran that, there was there was definitely no pins,
6:23
but we had shirts. I mean, why don't you guys do shirts.
6:26
That's the thing that it's got utility people can use that. Well, we're
6:29
really working on just trying to update that sign when you show up to Roseville
6:33
in the hotel that says twenty We're hoping that we can actually change it to
6:39
twenty four. So that's been taking at least four to six weeks. And
6:44
yeah, we can look forward to twenty twenty five OP season, getting the
6:46
first ball tour, getting the rest of the twenty twenty four pins, just
6:49
handing those out. Imagine, I imagine Luke's really busy with that. Probably
6:54
takes takes some time. Yeah, but again, Janet's doing all the hard
6:59
work here, so I mean it doesn't it doesn't do any work. We
7:01
know that what's work Getting coffee for CTP, Yes, getting coffee using the
7:08
bathroom, that's pretty much what we do at GG. So. Well,
7:12
you gave the bathroom a lot. I see, yeah, well that see
7:15
last time you guys had me on, I do hold the longest bathroom trip
7:18
at GG. So well, maybe we need to get some better food options
7:23
around there, and then you can you know, explore different bathroom trips.
7:28
Well, see, I want ahead and this idea for uh top of key
7:32
forge charts. You know you can go ahead and pull off this amazing feet
7:35
Where do you think it came from? Oh yeah, and I hear that
7:40
that's your mind wander there. I hear that game center got got rid of
7:44
the food and now it only serves alcohol, so it's a it's a party
7:46
center now. And you know, you don't want any of us to have
7:49
nutrients over the over the course of the convention, over the course of the
7:53
vault. This is why we moved all vaults this year to your local game
7:58
stores, because they're friendly and great food options. All right, Well,
8:03
we'll be sneaking food in Oh, hold on hot, I mean, did
8:07
I say you guys can join me from Menagerie and the side events? The
8:13
second amber this year is going to be amazing, amazing. You should have
8:16
told us earlier. I've already thrown all those dicks away. I mean,
8:20
at least it's not adaptive. That is the worst, Like, why would
8:24
we be playing adaptive? Mernajorie Replacing adaptive is probably the best thing you guys
8:28
ever did. But I mean that's not saying much, but it is the
8:31
best thing you guys ever did. So Shredder When when is Menajerie untrained Shredder?
8:35
Which which one of those are we going to be ripping up? Oh?
8:39
We can do that. That probably would replace a main event though,
8:41
So let's set it up for Saturday. Well, you should have everyone register
8:46
with their arc on sects first and then tell them it's a shredder effort,
8:50
that that's how we roll, that's what we do. That sounds about right,
8:54
and then you'll get your printing you know, printing replacement decks up in
8:56
order at twenty twenty seven, So that's when that's when they can all get
9:01
their decks back after we rip them to shreds. Yes, Wookie, twenty
9:03
twenty seven, we will have that done for you. Yeah, six to
9:09
eight years. I like this. I might have to steal that idea from
9:11
you. No, making a clean six to nine. Yeah. Well,
9:18
the other prize support that you have to be really really really set up for
9:22
is uh, we have mats, we have pins, but what about special
9:28
mystery deck displays? That's right. I put an S on that just for
9:31
you guys. Originally I didn't have it, but we have now added an
9:35
S so we can definitely split up the displays for you. So great.
9:41
So I could get more trash decks for winning Beault, Yeah, more shredder,
9:46
more shredder decks. Top eight, Doctor June, I just don't even
9:48
know what you want anymore. You're going ahead and telling me that you want
9:52
decks, but you don't want decks. What what do you really want?
9:56
What's your ideal? Well? I want good decks. Are they going to
9:58
be good decks? Well? I mean I do have a special mystery deck
10:01
that's in there. Okay, I think I I think I was able to
10:03
change a twenty three to a twenty four on something. But you'll have to
10:07
wait and see it's it's mystery there. They're gonna change. They're gonna change
10:13
the art on every card because you know some people, some people out there
10:16
care about art, Like like that's gonna be what what they make cool?
10:20
Wait, there's art on cards? Isn't it just text with a gray box?
10:24
Yeah? Wait to do the thing it says, like, what do
10:26
you mean there's no reason to have cool cards? That's just not that's not
10:33
what keyboard is about. If you're gonna make something that has a fancy border
10:39
and you're gonna switch the art, how does that change the way you play
10:41
the card? It literally adds nothing of value to us winning at key Forge,
10:46
Like why would you even do that? Like why what was the whole
10:48
resources being put into that? Like what what did you achieve? And the
10:52
art's getting worse anyway, Nobody nobody cares, Like, Hi, hire me
10:56
to do your art or maybe that's what that's what Luke's doing Skyjedi's doing over
11:01
there all the time. I don't even read my card anymore. I just
11:05
put them on the table and my opponent does whatever we're supposed to do.
11:09
Yeah, that's that's that's how your decks play. Yeah, so what about
11:13
the special treatment. I am giving you guys special treatment. I'm not seeing
11:16
that. You're very excited here for special treatment. It's special treatment. It's
11:20
going to be amazing for special treatment. Is my name going to be in
11:24
the sky? You're gonna fly a plane with my my name on the banner
11:28
behind it? Is that that's the special treatment? I want? No,
11:31
No one's going to do that for you, Sydney. That's not happening.
11:33
Well I deserve it, Well it's not happening. Well I can only I
11:37
can only I can only go to UH one Vault Tour this year. So
11:41
there there's no possible way that I'm going to win when I when I Vault
11:46
Tours I went to and my name's not in the sky. So if my
11:50
name's are in the sky, your name's not in the sky. Okay,
11:52
listen, there's a small indie company. The most they can get for you
11:54
is in maybe an S. Can we do an S? Yeah, I'll
11:58
take it. I'll take it. I mean we used to have a suite,
12:01
you know, bring Mars back poster. I'm sure we could just put
12:03
an S on a on a sheet of paper sharp. Hey, as long
12:07
as as long as CTP signs it. That's that's what I want. I
12:09
want my my CTP money, right, then you can just copy it under
12:13
the tech All right. Well yeah, let's let's get onto our main topic.
12:18
I think Josh is the main topic. But I haven't finished all my
12:20
sweet amazing prizes. Is any there is a glass trophy? Glass trophy,
12:28
I guarantee. I mean it looks like it won't even make it through security.
12:33
I well, you think it's going to security. I think it's gonna
12:37
break within the first five minutes. Yeah, so I'm driving it home.
12:41
It's coming home. Are these the new amber shards that we've been promised?
12:43
We'll see. What's really special about this glass trophy is if you smash it
12:48
just right, you do have amber then and also someone something to shank someone
12:52
with. I like it. That's how that's how we roll bleeding fingers too,
12:56
totally. And then that's going to go on my my mantle piece.
12:58
And then when when my kids ask about it, the blood, I'll tell
13:03
them that's who I've beaten in Keyfde. You know, once the first person
13:07
does it at the first event, like everyone's going to feel like they have
13:09
to smash theirs. Too, so I'm hoping to win and smash mine and
13:13
then that's just the twenty twenty four season. I mean, this is how
13:18
we relate KeyForge to wrestling all the time, so it's such a great crossover.
13:22
We just need to smash things. And you know, as whole Kloagan,
13:26
one of my favorite wrestlers, says, be a better version of yourself
13:30
at all times. So we got to win the thing that that's how we
13:33
be better version of ourselves. No comment. All right, let's move on
13:39
to what we're going to be talking about today, and that's what we're talking
13:43
about. Our favorite cards, our best cards, top five, top five,
13:46
top five. Yeah, I actually I didn't have There are no cards
13:52
that I like, So I just I put down my five favorite cards for
13:56
my opponents to play. They there's no card better than Heart of the Forest.
14:01
So this, this whole, this whole episode is just gonna be second
14:05
best cards. Man, I really, what are these cards? Like?
14:09
I miss I miss e walk and being able to walk by, Tell me
14:13
what these cards are? He's really the best part of this cast. Man.
14:18
The the network cards net Runner cards are are not eligible for this list,
14:24
so get them, get them out of your face. Okay, I'm
14:28
gonna need a little bit of time here then, because net Runner is my
14:31
favorite favorite card game and that's the cards you were not specific, So that's
14:35
what I put in here. I'm sorry. Never Runner was only a game
14:39
for like three months. Yeah FFG. Hated you guys as much. Can
14:43
you take that back now, I'm I'm not I refused. Just because they
14:48
reference doesn't mean it's actually good. I mean, if you look at the
14:52
the fab secondary market, like you don't see Netrunner doing things like that,
14:56
like, no one, no one's doing things like that market. That's that's
14:58
where it is, and and we're still waiting for Keyfords to catch up to
15:01
that. It's it's not gonna happen though. But I mean, but my
15:05
favorite favorite net Runner card is inside Job, and that is not a Lacana
15:11
card, So I don't care. It looks just like Janet. Janet is
15:16
a sexy lady. So I Sidney, why don't you kick things off with
15:20
our top cards? I will here. I will kick this off with the
15:26
one of the best creatures, absolutely fantastic, Untamed three Power Beast, fang
15:33
House and and hear me out. Hear me out, hear me out assault
15:37
three hazardous three. It kills Brio. It kills Brio. Fang House is
15:41
on the board. Fang House attacks Brio, It kills Brio. Brio attacks
15:46
fang House. It kills Brio. It doesn't even need six power. It
15:50
is better than Brio. That card is complete garbage. No, you don't
15:52
know what you're talking about. You play your Brio des and I will bring
15:56
my fang House and stomp your facing. It's got three power. I like
16:00
just playing my own Bryo to fight their Brio. It's kind of the best
16:03
way. Yeah, well, untamed. And then I keep cheat and I
16:07
I kick all I kick all your asses. That is That is how fang
16:11
House. That is how pang House rocks. All right, all right,
16:12
what what do you got? What do you got? B all right?
16:15
So I mean Tollus discard one power, Elusive isammer creatures destroyed its opponent gains
16:22
one ember. Like it's funny you said discard because that's what I do with
16:26
it. Well, no, this, I mean, did you see the
16:30
Z score? This adds to your decks? I mean it's it's a it's
16:33
a boot score. The Z score. I don't read that what is that?
16:37
Well, that's why you're coming eight then not first anyways, moving on,
16:41
we uh, the Tollus just does what you wanted to do. It's
16:45
it creates a situation that makes your opponent have to think harder, and you
16:48
can exploit their mental weaknesses anytime you have the opportunity. So it's in this
16:53
this is this is not the house that you want if you want to beat
16:56
your opponent. What okay, where's the coming from here? Just that's just
17:00
wrong. So let's just let's just go on to the next one, Doctor
17:04
June. That's just wrong, all right. My favorite card for my opponent
17:08
to play is Trueburu. I just play lights out on that and then just
17:14
watching their face as they see their three amber go by. That's that's what
17:18
Keith Forge is about. Seven power Kills Brio. Speaking of killing things,
17:25
you want a board wipe, I have the best World's Collide board wipe that
17:30
is in my top five cards. That's right, World's Collide Brobnar Volcano.
17:34
Play deal four to each creature and game two chains because you want to gain
17:41
the chains A weapon of great magma Tude, great great line too. Man.
17:47
I knew there was a reason we invited you on this cast, Josh,
17:49
more like balls Cano. That's how we roll. No comment al right,
17:55
Sydney's what do you got next? Sticking with Robnar, we have Little
18:00
rap Skull Elusive two power Broadnar creature creatures must fight one used if able.
18:07
That guy is going to make the rest of your battle line into the best
18:11
fighting team you've ever seen into wrestler after wrestler after wrestler. You are going
18:18
to make your key forge game more like magic, because fighting is how you
18:23
win. They don't actually get better at fighting, do they. Well,
18:27
they get better, they get better bringing you got to bring in my next
18:30
card, which is Colic Stone Father, the best leader out there. I
18:33
mean no question. I mean I will fight anyone who thinks that there is
18:37
a better leader. It's in the center of your battle line. Each friendly
18:41
creature gains skirmish, so boom, there you go, Little Rap Skull,
18:44
Collic Stone Father gigs Z score six right there. Absolutely, that is a
18:49
chase card. Chase. Why is it chase chase? I'm still learning to
18:53
set. I just came in a little bit late. But why is that
18:56
a chase card? Because it's a leader. It's also in the vault Master
19:03
set. So there is no way that you don't want this card in your
19:07
deck, not if jam has anything to say about it. What do I
19:11
have? I got? Okay, is this I don't even know what set
19:15
this is? In this garbage card Dexter. I love when my opponent plays
19:19
Dexter because then they're like clearly desperate for amber control. So then I kill
19:25
it, and then it's on top of their deck, and then they're still
19:27
desperated because that's all the all the ship they drew. So they played Dexter
19:32
again, kill it again. They're just stuck. So I love. I
19:36
love setting them up in that like desperation play. It's uh yeah, Dexter
19:41
is my second paper for sure. That is the position you want your opponent
19:44
in. Desperate. Yeah. I can't argue with that, all right,
19:48
Josh, Well, since you made that sweet balls Cano joke, I have
19:52
to go with another very very interesting picture. Our art department went out and
19:57
above and it is amazing card. It is Nepetica Gigantica. That's right.
20:03
They come to harvest it for their ambrew. Few ever leave and this this
20:11
action stun a creature with power five or higher or stun a giant creature with
20:18
beanstock running wild. This is your best play. You better be bringing that
20:23
to your vault to her to stop those beanstock decks. How many of these
20:26
do you want on your deck for a bean stock I think that uh,
20:32
we have gone through power and I'm gonna have to check, you know,
20:36
the okay on this, but I think that you definitely want at least one.
20:41
I mean, the flavor text on these cards, they they they gotta
20:45
get better. They got to get better. Man, what what you gotta
20:48
You gotta start writing some of these flavor text cards. Hey, just wait,
20:52
you may see some cards that I've written. And have you not seen
20:55
this art? I mean, the art is absolutely beautiful on this card.
20:59
Like, who cannot love the art? Yeah? It looks like me after
21:02
a shower. Yeah, the art just makes me think of someone needs some
21:06
more vitamin C having a party in the front. All right. Next card,
21:11
I went with everyone's favorite story and card, and that's Hystastis Raptor.
21:18
I mean five power, one armor before fright. You may Exaltastis Raptor if
21:22
you do deal one damage to the creature. His Astis Raptor fights for each
21:26
ember unfriendly hissastis raptors. Here's the best part. You don't get one,
21:32
you don't get two. You can get between five and seven of them,
21:34
So it already means your creature count is going to be through the roof.
21:37
And everyone knows that this is a board based game and fighting matters. So
21:42
here we are. That's there, can't go wrong. That's the best way
21:45
to play. And they they gang, they gang up when they're together.
21:48
You you stole my idea for a card later. This is this is the
21:52
best way to play KeyForge. You love it. Multiples? Yeah, so
21:56
you have seven of these? I guess never opened seven. Yep, you
22:00
can get seven pp tier taking over all of your house, because that is
22:07
that is how we roll. And having multiples in there means that you can
22:11
kill Brio over and over and over and over again. It's true. I
22:15
hear you guys like to kill Brio. I mean, it's the most important
22:18
thing to kill. It's the only way that a card gets more than a
22:21
three on the Z score. So my my next card is when you don't
22:27
like to play key Forge, then you can't play this. But if you're
22:32
like Ewok and you just want to have more more key forage time c Sforge
22:37
is where it's at best, coming from the best set ever DT You're welcome.
22:41
You're welcome, so wor set. I feel like I'm not being loved
22:45
here on this this cast, this time around, glad I came back,
22:48
guys, But can anyone read what does CEA Sforge do? Anyone? Pi
22:53
November? Every time you play it, it's artifact. Players cannot forge keys.
22:59
At the start of your term, remove a time counter from Ceasforge,
23:00
then destroy it. If there are no time counters on it, play put
23:03
two time counters on Ceasforge. I am one hundred percent certain this has something
23:08
to do with clocks. Clocks have time counter, Sea Sports has time counters.
23:11
There's there's got to be some interaction here that that's that's this was the
23:17
inspiration for clocks. I'm sure of it. No con clearly we're always left
23:22
doing the job for GG designing the cards. I think I think that was
23:26
Booki's idea. First. I remember you saying that, Yeah, do you
23:30
have any more ideas we need to really, you know, actually put them
23:33
in. Let me let me design your sets and throw your vault to or
23:37
is. We could do a better we could do a better job. No
23:38
comment. Speaking speaking of a ton of cards, doctor June, why don't
23:45
you go? Uh speaking of the best worst set dive pod? Do do
23:52
you want the three pod? I'm sorry? Uh, this this card says
23:57
while the tide is high, this creek gained skirmish, and while the tide
24:02
is low, this creature gains elusive. And my favorite part of this is
24:06
that no matter if the tide is high or low, as much as your
24:10
opponent fights for it, it does something bad. And it doesn't even have
24:14
a pip of amber. So it's just it's just bad. It's just bad
24:17
all around. So that I love seeing that card come out. It just
24:19
reminds me like, oh, my opponent's playing a trash set games basically over
24:25
Yeah, change change a change are just stupid. Chains are fucking stupid,
24:27
Like there is no way that all should have ever been put into this.
24:33
It's it's adaptive. You bid chains, DT worse set, you have chains,
24:37
there's just no no kick them out, kick them out. And uh,
24:41
I don't care how much I have to give to the uh the swear
24:44
jar, because this this month, all the money is going to to autism
24:48
speak. So I can wear as much as I fucking want. That's right.
24:51
And and speaking of talking as much as I fucking want, there are
24:56
my my next one are all of the banes. Those are so so good.
25:03
And not only are they good, two were still even relevant to gr
25:08
goom reminders traits. So we have b spain pip a vember every time you
25:12
play it, Destroy a beast creature, Demon's bane pipa vember every time you
25:15
play it, destroy a demon's creature, Dinosaur's bane, destroy pipa vember every
25:19
time you play it, Destroy a dinosaur creature, Giants Bain pipa vember every
25:22
time you play, Destroy a giant creature, Human's Bane pipa vember every time
25:25
you play it, destroy a human's creature, Scientists Bane pipa vember every time
25:29
you played, destroy a scientist creature, Thieves Bane pip avember every time you
25:32
play. Maybe I wasn't here for this, but what's the sweet banes you're
25:37
talking about? Bring me up to speed? Why they are amazing? So
25:41
these destroy based on traits and all of the traits in this set are just
25:49
just trash. So if you have a giant with beanstock, they can they
25:56
can get out. And then if you have a thief, I don't know,
26:00
you're still playing shadows because you're dumb and you're not playing grim reminders,
26:03
then you can get rid of those I mean, frauday shadows. So it's
26:07
not like dumb, Well, fraud doesn't win anymore. We all know that.
26:11
Well it can. I mean, it's not my fault. That gr
26:15
is like power crap. But you're right, you're right. It wins.
26:18
It wins in Canada, it wins over the border. Yeah, it wins
26:21
in Canada. That's yeah, the easy, easy, easy wins. There.
26:26
Where's the do we have a Canadian vault? Our josh? This year
26:30
negative negative? We are still working on international vaults. Uh so maybe for
26:38
six weeks, four to six weeks, you know, four to six weeks.
26:41
Just give me four to six weeks and we got this. Yeah,
26:44
put us up in Canada and then and then send us there because you you
26:47
need you need people to stream it, and uh, go ahead and send
26:51
us to these vaults, wheers, so they they actually get the pr they
26:53
deserve because you know, you guys don't you guys don't do PR. True,
26:56
we actually do need some string, do you guys want to go ahead
27:00
and stream for Yeah, pay me and I'll be there. Did I tell
27:04
you I have some really sweet house spins? Is that the type of payment
27:07
you're looking for? Yeah? No, all right, So movie, I
27:15
do have some old op mats that that I could do for you. Be
27:21
can we get like five of the same one actually signed by Janet doctor June.
27:25
I think we could even staple them together for you. Wow, that's
27:27
perfect. I mean, help them for yourself. They all want their mats,
27:30
so go go send all your crappy mats to them. They love those
27:33
mats, they love the art they suck over there. Well, remember I
27:38
have been going ahead and listening to everyone in the key Forge audience. That
27:42
is why I personally made sure that we could go ahead and update certain cards
27:48
that have never seen play outside of store championships. But we have updated that
27:52
already for you, So continue to send in your feedback and by that I
27:57
just will listen and do whatever I want to put that in. So enjoy,
28:03
enjoy that update. Did did you hear that live audience? Did you
28:04
hear that I am listening? I am listening to you, audience, So
28:08
keep keep it coming, all right? Who's kicking it? Off. Next
28:11
All right, so next up, we have everyone's favorite card. It's Splinter.
28:17
One power does nothing else except says he doesn't cut any slack. Here's
28:22
the kicker. You get six damage pips enhancements in your deck. I mean,
28:27
why would you not want this card? It is definitely adding a ton
28:32
of value. Splinter kills Bria. I mean it has the potential. Does
28:37
it give six? I thought it doesn't it give five? It gives six,
28:40
six straight up? Six. Okay, that's overpowered. What the heck?
28:44
So there you go, Brio's done. All you just need is pull
28:47
all the cards that got the pips and then you play them one at a
28:51
time and boom and you get a one power creature on top. Correct one
28:55
power. It's a thief. It's a mutant and the thief. Don't forget
28:57
the traits because we know the energies of this house and and yep, thiefs.
29:03
No, not the thief spame, come on, that's that's just complete
29:06
garbage. What I'm talking about here is the fact that it's a mutant and
29:11
a thief, which means you can get cards it synergizes with within the set.
29:14
Because we all know mass mutation is known as the best, most powerful
29:18
set. Just look at the Z scores of that whole set and then you'll
29:22
understand what I'm talking about here. U, this card just synergizes with all
29:26
those other cards in the set that works so well. And yeah, that's
29:30
that's what we want. We want the synergies. Those garbage Alliance players,
29:34
they get a splinter in your eyes? Is the worst? Right? Why
29:38
Josh, why is a Liance still even a thing at this point? I
29:42
mean, it's it's clearly proving that it's a terrible set and no one wants
29:48
to play it. But why do we have to keep beating a dead horse?
29:51
It just feels cruel at this point, And yet here we are,
29:53
and now we have pieces of glass to commemorate how terrible it is. Well,
29:59
b are good at beating that dead horse. So we just wanted to
30:03
keep Alliance there because I've been listening to the audience and to the group as
30:08
a whole, and there are at least when you say group as a whole,
30:11
do you mean like there yourself. No, I mean there are at
30:15
least three people that really really are passionate about Alliance, and so I want
30:21
to make sure that we are very transparent and that you know what, you
30:26
can go ahead and get with Gigi. We want to bring back those players
30:30
that were lost, and so Alliance is the way to be able to do
30:33
with that. I I, if you give me money, I will play
30:37
it. Otherwise you can throw that trash in the shredder band. Can you
30:41
even are you allowed to put decks together? I thought you had to just
30:44
play fraud. I mean playing Arkon is an option in Alliance, So that
30:49
is that that is an option still available to you. Yes, okay,
30:53
what is that that? Sidney? What's your next card? All right?
30:56
So so here hear me out, here me out on this. Trojan souro
31:02
Pod, pip a vember. Every time you play it, Trojan sore pod
31:04
enters play under your opponent's control omni gain three year. Opponent reveals their hand
31:08
and puts each creature from it into play ready and refills their hand as if
31:11
it were their draw card. Step destroy Trojan Sauropod. I mean, come
31:15
on, I have no idea what it does, but it has to be
31:18
good. With that much text on it. They wouldn't print a card with
31:22
that much text on it if it were crap. So it has to be
31:25
good, like they they made the font smaller and everything, so that that
31:29
card you definitely want that card in your deck. Isn't that card from DT?
31:33
No DT stupid worse set? Okay, yeah, I guess if it's
31:37
not from DT, it's actually pretty good. Yeah d T d T would
31:42
never make a card like that. DT DT sucks. But this card,
31:47
I mean, I want, I want this in my I want this in
31:49
my my groom reminders Maverick Legacy do they still do those? Once? None
31:55
of us are going to pull a deck that good? So how would I
31:56
know? All right? Doctor? Okay? Actually I wrote down three okay
32:07
because Raje blacksmanth how about this one? My opponent plays it and then I
32:12
get to draw an extra card for a library access or battle fleet and it's
32:16
just free free cards, and then I destroy it and they get nothing.
32:21
Yeah, it's just like free wins for combo decks. So I don't know.
32:25
I just I love when my opponent plays that one. So I was
32:30
I was really glad last year when I can win so many events because of
32:34
a well being in a vogue. Yeah yeah, woe was op when it
32:38
came out, And now it's all garbage because groom Reminders is so much better.
32:42
You're never going to see this card be played. It's true. I'm
32:45
going to miss it, all right. Yes, well I heard you talking
32:50
about DT bestsets and so I definitely brought another lot of tentacles here. But
32:55
we have Tea WEEKI krack in that's right, twelve power ooh beast and uh
33:01
play exhaust too friendly unfathomable creatures if you do, if you do not destroy
33:08
Tee WEEKI kracking. But after fight after re deal two to a creature with
33:15
two splash, we will never never print another card that is even close to
33:20
that power level or have those same effects DT bestset t WEEKI cracking tentacles.
33:27
Yeah, this is this isn't WHOA. This this card is is better than
33:30
most of the other cards in WHOA. I cannot fathom why anyone wouldn't want
33:35
to play this card. Well, we got all our best ideas from DT.
33:37
That's where really really started. So got to give it. Give that,
33:43
true said, only unfathomable card DT, like who eveen cares about the
33:46
rest of the cards in DT. You so you could exhaust like two other
33:51
too. Quaki Krakens to play this one, or you can choose not to
33:55
and just kill it. Oh okay, and you get to keep you get
33:59
to use the other two to quickie crackers, which is really strong. Yes,
34:04
okay, that makes sense. No, I see it bubbles, bubbles
34:07
better than tweaky crack and flop. All right, Uh, we're in the
34:12
last ones finally. Well, I am so glad you Walk's not here in
34:15
order to keep you guys focused, because you know, this is just when
34:21
he's here, it just runs so long. And instead this is really focused
34:23
and on point, doing such a good job. I really appreciate that.
34:29
I mean, he's not here, he's not here to complement the art,
34:30
so we have nothing. We have nothing more to talk about on the cards.
34:35
So there's not much going on in these other than the you know,
34:38
the text at the bottom gott of miss slow Walk. Yeah, he's probably
34:44
playing playing a game of key Fords that he started, you know, ten
34:46
hours ago. Yeah, he just took too long to get here. That
34:50
makes sense. So all right, Final cards, Final round, Final,
34:53
best best card in the game. P la gu r I t play rats.
35:01
You never get just one of this little house of mouse. It's an
35:07
infestation. You need more. You need more of these in your life.
35:13
And if you're not already playing Lorcana, we absolutely hey hey no no no,
35:20
no forged podcast Noana No. We need to put some we need to
35:24
put some skirts on these on these rats. Get some princess rats out here
35:28
and then no no it and it kills Brio, three of them, three
35:32
on the table kills Brian talked about this before it No Lorcana. I don't
35:37
want to play a Disney game. It's definitely definitely the best card because it
35:43
should be in Lorcan No Plagues plague rat. Yeah, it's it's the it's
35:47
the closest we're gonna get to those two little ears and everything else about it.
35:52
You get, you get ten, just like you're said, assist raptors,
35:58
your your repped to whatever. Those are five power creatures. Yeah,
36:05
but these are better. These are elusive. Play each non rat creature's dealth,
36:08
one damage for each rat creature, and play you get three. Right,
36:12
all right, doctor June, moving on you just let's get your card
36:15
now. This card Elenya the Charming. It has treachery, so you know
36:21
it's bad because it literally goes against you when you play it. So my
36:28
opponent plays this and puts it on my board. And then when I forge
36:30
a key the next turn or two, I gave control of the most powerful
36:36
friendly creatures of my opponent. So I just capture a bunch of amber on
36:38
my grabber jammers and send them over and then they read their card again and
36:44
they realize how much they fucked up. So I like Elenya the Charming because
36:49
it teaches them how bad they are. Oh yeah, yeah, shout out
36:52
to the kids with autism. Yeah. I love cards that teach my opponent
36:59
how bad they're doing. Also, she's hot, like come on, like,
37:04
look a look at that dress, like totally good looking. That is
37:07
probably one of the I wouldn't even look that. They they really thought this
37:13
one out, all right. So my last card is so Salt gives you
37:17
a pip a mber every time you play it, right, Wookie, I
37:21
mean right, Sydney, and uh it's Alpha says play until the start of
37:24
your next turn. Creatures cannot reap. I mean, why would you want
37:30
to reap? You can just fight? Correct? You all with me on
37:34
this, We just fight instead, Yeah, just play action like or another
37:37
So Salt right, you exactly artifacts and upgrades. That's that's where it's at.
37:45
Must be destroyed, Livia the Elder best Flavor text. Yeah, I
37:49
don't know. I don't want to play any card with Alpha Alpha. I
37:52
mean, you can't tell me otherwise. The art doesn't even matter on this
37:55
card just because it says alpha. You skip the art or write to alpha
37:59
and you understand what's happening. Alpha stud stupidest thing, g or ffg ever
38:04
came up with and and gg right there with them, more more Alpha and
38:07
Omega. They they they got nothing. They they ruined dex shredder. Absolutely,
38:14
this is a card I shad first. I mean, if you remove
38:16
the alpha, I would happily play four of these a turn. But yeah,
38:22
I don't know. I don't see any reason why I would play this,
38:23
all right, jeh, No I didn't. Well, then talk to
38:28
me then I will. Josh, Josh, what is your what is your
38:31
ultimate card? What do you? What do you? What are you here
38:34
to impress us with? Josh? My penultimate card is soul fiddle. That's
38:39
right, dis artifact action, enrage at creature. It's evil, hiss.
38:45
It's the closest demons come to music. You a music man, You a
38:50
music man, Josh, they want to music. It's evil. Hiss is
38:52
the closest demons come to music? What kind of what kind of music?
38:55
You like? Josh really all about polka? You and you wo and guess
39:00
that. But Poka is where it's at. So so listeners, is the
39:05
Poka king of the Midwest. It's a hidden talent. Ask me at the
39:08
next Vault tour and you will see how I can dance to Poka. If
39:13
this uh, if this episode starts or ends with Poka music, you can
39:15
all send your hate mail to uh Josh at GG and that that you can
39:21
listen to the intro and the outro over and over again to get a little
39:23
taste of Josh's music. Taste soul, fiddle and rage a creature that's week
39:30
week. You're weak, You're you're already fighting anyway, Like, what does
39:34
in rage even do? This literally does nothing. I just thought it looked
39:37
cool and it reminded me of Poka. So okay, that's that's why I
39:42
went with it. I mean, they probably love it over to help them
39:44
preach yourself. So why uh why not? All right, doctor June,
39:47
Huh, I don't have a six card. I could come up with one
39:52
we're done. We're done. No, we're not. We're We're never done.
39:54
We're I'm never wrong. We we we got this. I have to
40:00
finish up this TCO game. Actually, so this is a good good time
40:04
to end. Well, Josh, why why don't you tell us? Why
40:07
don't you tell us what has been going on behind the scenes, because you
40:12
know how much you still owe us, right like, there is so much
40:15
that we don't know yet about the storyline event and the international vaults. There's
40:22
there's, there's you got. You gotta have more, you gotta have more
40:25
you can give us. Well, I do have one very very important thing,
40:29
and that is Game Found is coming to you in April. So make
40:32
sure that you pay attention to Game Found because again we've been listening to UH
40:37
store owners and we've been listening to the community, and everybody loves Game Found
40:44
and so that's the best way to go ahead and continue to pad our banks
40:47
and just keep making this game that you love. So you're welcome. Game

big dump with amber sky So I'm just going to wait until after it comes
41:16

41:22
We have sky pirates and I know what you are all about, thieves and
41:28
pirates from that shadows. So how can you not love some pirates that are
41:32
in the sky. Yeah, don't mess it up for me, dude,

41:39
We have to be able to we have to be able to beat GR.
41:42
I got to be able to open a deck and trounce everyone with it.
41:45
So that's what you got to give me with amber Sky's. Wasn't the last
41:49
time you gave us pirates? DT? I feel like I'm good, no
41:52
comment, All right, it's confirmed, DT two. Don't buy amber Skys

but uh go, I'll go to a party. I'm always good for
43:14
it. Why not? Yeah, so you heard it here. First,
43:16
ladies and gentlemen, Josh will be at the party that had come and get
43:21
your your dress core experience and uh, you know I I am. I'm
43:27
putting together some some amazing music for for for the party and they Josh will
43:32
be there. You heard it here. First, your dras core experience getting
43:36
beaten by a five year old and scrubbing out on day one, and then
43:38
you go to the party. That's what he's known for. That's that's what
43:42
you gotta That's what you gotta go to the party for. Watch dras get
43:45
get beat by a five year old. Yes, I will have to go
43:47
ahead and check with CTP if I can actually make this event, So I'll
43:52
get back to you in about four to six weeks. So outside of the
43:54
you know, eclipse on Monday, I don't know, did you guys get
43:58
your glasses for the clips because this is an event that just comes around so
44:01
infrequently. I'm really really excited to be able to see the clips on Monday.
44:06
I already wear glasses, so I was just gonna go outside and look
44:08
at the eclips. Yeah, so my both both my my, my,
44:14
my kids are doing something. So I'm gonna miss doing it with with them,
44:20
but at least I'm not missing their birthdays like they They're gonna be at
44:23
home watching the eclipse, so they'll they'll tell me all about it. I
44:28
did try and schedule all those vaults over your kids' birthdays again, so I
44:32
failed. It was just really disorganized this year. I'm sorry. That's all
44:37
right there. At some point we're gonna bring them with and you're I'm gonna
44:40
make you throw them their birthday party and then I'll get to play KeyForge.
44:46
Do you really want GG to throw them a birthday party? I mean,
44:50
it'll never happen. It'll happen six eight weeks late. We'll give you some
44:52
mats and pins we can we can, like the games, enter on fire
44:58
and have them blow it out. That's we can for the eclipse. You
45:00
can have a piniata full of pins, so you spake it open and the
45:06
backs will all be separate from the front, so there's a bee a bunch
45:07
of tacks on the floor. It'll be really good. That that's how GG
45:12
celebrates. They like to step on tax Well, if you guys don't have
45:15
your glasses yet, I found this really cool. Like you put some tinfoil
45:21
over a cereal box and then you can go ahead and look at it.
45:25
But we got wait, it's going to come in over your shoulder and you
45:30
can see the eclipse through a box and all my students do that. We
45:35
made those for the eclipse. So is it an eclipse when like the we're
45:38
all gonna get blinded, like we're not supposed to look up at the sun
45:42
and the uh the the moon is who the fuck cares? Oh yeah,
45:49
swear jar Uh yeah, we've gotta support the kids with autism. So I
45:55
don't know, I've seen the clips before, so like, I mean,
46:00
you see, you've seen one, you kind of seen them all. It's
46:02
just a big circle. They they planets doing some some crazy stuff. The
46:08
I mean, can we even can we even see it from from Game Center?
46:12
Like is it? Is it worth getting together with with everybody? We
46:15
can we can make something happen. Well, it's not in the line of
46:19
totality. But I mean, Drazz dress Score is going ahead and flying out
46:23
to the Canadian side, you know, the non cool North American side.
46:28
But uh, maybe I was saying maybe we could all go watch it with
46:34
him, But okay, crashing dras is party. That's that's the best idea
46:37
you've come up with yet. I've probably seen I've probably seen one of these
46:42
before. There is no way that this is worth flying all the way out
46:45
somewhere to go see. Yeah, they don't even can you win a play
46:50
matt By? Can you see the eclipse? I could make a playmat for
46:54
the eclipse? What happens if you start the eclipse through your glass trophy?
46:59
You burn your your eyes at just like you even allowed? Are you?
47:02
Are you literally giving a tool for destruction? That's a good question. I
47:07
think we're gonna have to meet up with CTP in the gang and uh,
47:10
we'll reconvene in six eight weeks. We'll just have we'll just have knife fights
47:16
at the eclipse using the trophies. But obviously I'm not gonna win it,
47:21
so I'll have to take bees over here and and uh, you can borrow
47:27
mine. Yeah, I'm not taking it home with me anyways, So it'll
47:29
be on the table somewhere. I'll be I'll be wearing some armorment of play
47:32
mats, So good good luck trying to step through that. This is this
47:37
is how we how we play Deforge. And then Shredder. At the end
47:42
of the day, we're going to be punching people in the face. Yeah.
47:44
By the way, you can come and join us on Sunday and play
47:46
some Shredder. We'll be playing with our favorite new mystery decks. So uh,
47:54
just straight up shred them before anyone else sees them or has access to
47:58
them in the world. That's what I'm talking about. And we'll get it
48:01
on stream, get some content in there, and maybe put that behind the
48:05
Patreon so that Patreons get something and then they get to watch us shred these
48:09
mystery decks and then we can like mail them the shredded pieces too. If
48:14
you're on the like the higher level tiers in Patreon, and every time you
48:17
put your hands on the first Mystery decks, every time you get an alpha
48:22
score, you get mailed some shredded Mystery decks. I co sign this more
48:27
more, more work. We're doing more work for gg thank you. Yeah.
48:30
At this point, like half the formats are are like made by us,
48:35
right, Yeah, we came up with them. Yeah, well,
48:37
Sealed was there and Arkhun was there. Alliance is my idea that you stole
48:45
it from me And I'm still waiting so much, so bad, so bad.
48:47
Why do you keep bringing it up because I want to get paid.
48:51
I mean when you played as a joke and you win, that tells you
48:53
something. There is no way that we are going to get paid for any
48:58
of our ideas, so we might as well, well, we might as
49:00
well push as hard as we can for everything we want, and then uh,
49:04
we'll get We'll get one thing eventually. I'll just keep coming up with
49:07
ideas. You got to start streaming everything and paying people to stream. You
49:13
have to start flying people out there. You you have to uh, you
49:16
have to give you have to give prizes, money, prizes. You have
49:22
to give prizes to everybody who comes. And Prize Wall, what do you
49:24
do with the prize wall? Josh, So, Prize Wall was such a
49:29
big hit right now it is in six s eight weeks of development, and
49:35
uh, we were hoping to really bring in op from FFG and utilize that
49:39
to stock the prize wall, to show you prizes that you've already seen.
49:45
Chain trackers, you're gonna you're gonna just shave off the top of them and
49:49
then write the word haunted and sharpie and then they'll be haunted trackers. You
49:52
know you can you slow down a little bit. I'm trying to write all
49:55
these ideas down and I need that for next years. Ope, So if
50:00
you could just slow down a little bit, slower typing. Yeah, you
50:04
want hot encounters for next year's op Yeah, the right rord pirate on the
50:07
top of the haunted counter and then just keep shaving off the top and whatever
50:12
the new mechanic is. Strato strato flight, right, can you tell us
50:16
what strato flight is? Sure? It is where you go ahead and throw
50:21
one leg. Oh? Sorry, No, I cannot tell you that.
50:25
I'm being tapped on the shoulder by CTP right now and I'm telling you,
50:30
no, I cannot tell you. I'm sorry. Redacted that, Please redact
50:34
that. Yeah, because I I I totally edit these episodes. I'm absolutely
50:38
gonna edit everything that you want edited out of this episode. That's definitely going
50:44
to happen. That sounds like a lot of work. I did notice that
50:46
whenever in the past you actually talk about, hey, we'll put this in
50:50
the show notes it, I can't really find anything from the show notes,
50:53
