- 0:58Don't think that's how that rolls. And we have the e walks. You
- 1:00walk fresh from Disney. Hello, key, George, community glad to be
- 1:06here. We're finally coming back. We're all exhausted. I'm tired. I
- 1:11know you guys are tired. Well, actually, how how how is Disney?
- 1:15Are you tired from Disney? No? No, this is like juvenating.
- 1:19It's it's amazing because they pump fresh oxygen into the park. Right,
- 1:23No, because well I should I actually missed playing with my local group,
- 1:27but I was very very very very blessed to be able to go ahead and
- 1:32play with other KeyForge family and friends. So I joined the Kissing Me group,
- 1:36the House of Gaming, the House rules Gaming down and Kissing Me Florida,
- 1:41and so I get to play with a couple of KeyForge friends that we
- 1:45see here on ac in around So big shout out to Marcus and Heather,
- 1:49So if you know, judge, Marcus did awesome job, even even picked
- 1:52me up and got me there. And then Kirkman Justin was there and Shattle
- 1:56Melton Patrick. So it was a wonderful, wonderful evening and we got to
- 2:00play two different rounds. We played some vault Master dacks which were freshly brought
- 2:06in from Marcus. So thanks and some gr So playing Sealed and playing key
- 2:09Forge, no matter where you are, it is always a great time.
- 2:14Sure cool, pretty cool? You know you are wed? Oh even when
- 2:22I am out of state, boys, I make time for key Forge.
- 2:25And actually it was a really nice break. We usually go pretty hard for
- 2:30Disney, making sure that it's back to back. I thought it was a
- 2:36nice break from us. Well that that too, But outside of that break
- 2:42from you guys. It was nice to be able to play with another group,
- 2:45and it was nice to just slow up. Saturday was actually one of
- 2:49our off days, and so I got to go ahead and join key Forge.
- 2:52It worked out really really well. Off days at Disney slow up there
- 2:58isn't usually, but uh, I decided that we need to take it a
- 3:02little bit easy, and we went to the pools. We went ahead and
- 3:07went to Disney Springs, so we did a couple of things that we haven't
- 3:10done in the past. As a teacher, I had a little bit more
- 3:14time this time, so I was actually down goodness ten days and so I
- 3:19didn't need to be going to the park every single day, which was really
- 3:22nice for a change. Do you build a light favor? I did not.
- 3:27What are you even doing with your life? Yeah? Making good financial
- 3:32decisions because I don't need a lightsaber. Everyone needs a lightsaber. What are
- 3:38you gonna do? What are you gonna do? I'm not worried about the
- 3:46act light. The only reason I wanted to go to Disney is to build
- 3:51a lightsaber. Is a sick Oh. Actually I did go ahead. I
- 4:00did not go ahead and participate in any bounty hunting this time. One of
- 4:04the fun little things that you can do with your watch or your past yep,
- 4:11is that you can there is some interactive components where you can go ahead
- 4:15and hunt down or bounty hunt different characters around and in the Star Wars area.
- 4:19So that's fun. But we did I didn't actually make time for that
- 4:23this year. What did you even do? What else is there to do
- 4:27with Disney? There's a lot of food to be able to be Splash.
- 4:31No, it's Splash Mountain right now is actually shut down. It's being turned
- 4:34over to Tiana. Mm hmm. So and that's right now in kind of
- 4:42practice ride for no no one good thing yet on this trip, Yeah,
- 4:47I had a great time. Pretty cool, So okay, that makes sense
- 4:55to me. So Tara and I are DVC members and we stayed at Polynesian,
- 5:00which was absolutely amazing. The location, just the room space. If
- 5:05you can go ahead and rent points, which is an option that is even
- 5:10cheaper than going ahead and having your own DVC, I highly recommend it.
- 5:14We were able to stay in the pools. We also went over to Beach
- 5:16Club for a period of time. There was some absolutely amazing well for some
- 5:24but there was amazing food that was there, I got to ride Tron for
- 5:29the first time, which was it was really really cool. And then Guardians
- 5:31of the Galaxy, the new ride mind blowing. You have a coaster,
- 5:39but the actual coaster will go ahead in turn so that it's interacting with the
- 5:43video as it's going on a full fledged coaster, so you're moving at speed
- 5:47with the interactivity that's there. So both of those rides were Chef's Kiss beautiful,
- 5:55interesting, cool. So what you're saying is no lightsaber, No lightsaber,
- 6:00That's what I heard. I don't, I don't. I don't even
- 6:02know what else I would do it, Disney, But we got tons of
- 6:06key forward stuff to go through. A br playoffs going on. Now,
- 6:12any of you guys in that, oh yeah, yeah, well, I
- 6:16mean we made it to the playoffs, but Sheep got knocked out and I
- 6:20just lost my final match unfortunately. So I was playing this surprise format,
- 6:30which is kind of new and weird. Okay, so it is here we
- 6:35go surprise best of one pick four houses for your opponents. You pick that
- 6:41in advance, and then you tell them when you show up, so they
- 6:45must select selected deck with all three houses being of the four, you choose
- 6:51your four houses must have a minimum two legal house combinations, meaning two sets
- 6:58that have the legal combination. Uh v M does not count towards that because
- 7:03of the HW decks, right, yep, so ol them on the Yeah,
- 7:14yep, yep, yep. So so I did disc brob Nars Sanctum
- 7:21Star Alliance and as the which basically forces you to either play CODA or l
- 7:30A or or go into one of the v ms. Well you can play
- 7:39that's true. Woa. Yeah, you can play a LOE deck, that's
- 7:41true. Yeah, broad Mar Sanctum Star Allants. So, which actually is
- 7:46what happened this this final game Broad Sanctum Star Alliance. I I played a
- 7:54fun deck with with Mars Rebels, which we'll talk about later. I yes,
- 8:00did you have to play it under the same four houses? Well they
- 8:03picked a different fo Yeah, so what what what for did they pick for
- 8:07you? Oh? They are hold on, I'll play you real quick.
- 8:09So let's see here they searching Blackbot, searching rob Nar, Sanctum Shadows,
- 8:20Mars mm hmm. So uh so I actually brought one of my own decks
- 8:26that I kind of liked, and they were yeah, could have been.
- 8:35I didn't. I didn't immediately see anything on our team that was spicy for
- 8:41code, right, because you have to select from decks on your team,
- 8:43all right, So every week we lose daz Cort, at some point in
- 8:52time, we'll come back Waldo Alberby. Here there is Burrow Iron Sentinel.
- 8:58So double mars needs Ember with one, two, three, four, five,
- 9:01six, seven, eight eleven damage pips with the Rebel token and uh
- 9:11double suspended animation and just lots of ways to put damage on and then uh
- 9:18like fresh marks and kaboom and low stuff up. So I was actually feeling
- 9:24really good. But then they yeah with that choice. I was like,
- 9:28ooh, I like what I got going on here. I like the match
- 9:31up they did Warrior, and uh, they just got a huge mid game
- 9:39burst with brick nasty Berserkers, not Berserker Warriors, and I could not draw
- 9:48my Murderer, couldn't draw my Marsden's Ember, couldn't draw my psychic network,
- 9:56just couldn't draw, uh the Ember control and uh so it was closed but
- 10:03I was unable to unable to pull it out. So I did who it
- 10:09was U Kastrover, I don't remember, I don't call what deck they were
- 10:18playing, but it was it was Warriors, and it sounded like you and
- 10:24Sheep are on the same team, So what was your team? Yep,
- 10:26Sheep and I are on the same team. So we we are the Island
- 10:31of Misfit Arcons. Yeah sounds right. Yep, yep, yep, yep.
- 10:35So I thought that was a pretty good name. Lots of opportunity for
- 10:39Island to beach gifts throughout the season. So, uh, that was funne.
- 10:46What did you lose to? What are you playing? I had a
- 10:50freakod season, went five to in regular season, and then just through whatever
- 10:56I got put on g R three deck Alliance. We'll see you okay,
- 11:03okay. I just thought it was funny with Alliance. We'll put cheap on
- 11:07Alliance. Now. I made my call. That's like, I'm not playing
- 11:11Alliance and I'm not playing Adaptive. And after that he put me on whatever
- 11:15crap you want, and I ended up with g R Fields and I got
- 11:22garbage Jacks. You're like, I was looking at my mic. Yeah,
- 11:26even when I sat down we started the game on Mike. He's like so,
- 11:28and I'm like, well, look at the three houses. I think
- 11:31that's gonna tell you how this is gonna go because I was Fish Star Alliance
- 11:37and something else, Like I didn't have any of the good houses. Like
- 11:43the whole thing my deck could sort of do was car with like six upgrades
- 11:50was the best thing I had. It was awful. Yeah, you have
- 11:54like triple TANGI Manji, triple Grammar Jammer. I mean, yeah, if
- 12:03I'm seeing it Fathomable and Star Alliance and Sealed, I'm going to potentially look
- 12:07that you're gonna be running Lockout with unfathomble so Brie Cow and then retrotechnician Lean
- 12:15in order to potentially cycle them with some But it's gonna it's gonna be it's
- 12:24gonna be trash. But that's what if you're calling those houses, I wouldn't
- 12:28say that those houses are absolute trash. I'm saying there's still things. It's
- 12:31just not your powerhouses. I mean what you have collar, How could you
- 12:39lose most most of the time. Yes, well, I think that we
- 12:45keep talking about how g R is very, very overpowered, and it is,
- 12:48but Sealed you can definitely see that there's still a lot of a fair
- 12:54and balanced set to which we need more sets of the ILK. It's not
- 12:58are powered, it's just a little bit of power creep, and everyone complaining
- 13:03about the power creep needs to cry to someone else, because the power the
- 13:13the The only problem is is the solo play, right, That's really the
- 13:20only thing that's the problem. If you archive a billion cards and you just
- 13:24like have to execute seventeen cards in order and then loop it again to like
- 13:30just win the game, like that's the problem. Uh. Strong stuff is
- 13:35good. We should want strong stuff. It just shouldn't be like watch your
- 13:37opponent for five minutes. I also have a little bit of an issue with
- 13:41the woodca here where I can go ahead and wins of Death, put everything
- 13:46into my archives, and then just promptly come back for key abduction key abduction,
- 13:50and I can do it on different turns because there's no interaction outside of
- 13:54disantiot that that is a little bit of a frustration for me. But I
- 13:58also don't think that there are a ton of that fall into that category,
- 14:01so I did so I do have a wadka winka however you want to say
- 14:07it, Jack now that is semi consistent. Like the the guys, it's
- 14:16pretty good. And at first I was like, oh yeah, I'm totally
- 14:20gonna play this at Vegas. But like, I just it feels dirty.
- 14:24I don't know, like it you're on a c you're you're talking that,
- 14:31we're you're You're not going to play dirty, got it? I mean it
- 14:33just doesn't feel I don't know, it feels it feels not great. So
- 14:41what you're saying is you hate winning. I like I like winning. It's
- 14:46not having fun, Like it's it's a game that we still have to play
- 14:48and enjoy and if it's not, I'm just playing. Dude. Yeah there,
- 14:54Yeah, what is going on over there? Sheep? I know you're
- 14:58chips? Are you eating the ships? Are the rapper there for me?
- 15:03I? Oh, you put the phone in his pocket? You're the uh
- 15:13but yeah, you're like Key Abduction Target Archive, the Key Abduction Past Turn,
- 15:20Like okay, how can I interact with this Abduction Target past Turn?
- 15:31Like okay, I don't know. It's just I mean it's strong, it's
- 15:37just I don't know. I don't feel very clever when I do it.
- 15:41I guess where this is not a fancy play. This is because it's like
- 15:48it's been discovered and like people are building it now and it's like, oh,
- 15:52I'm not I'm not. I'm not clever. I'm just following the following,
- 15:56the following. I mean, I hate to tell you guys, this
- 16:03whole game is a solitaire game. Like I don't understand this complaint about you
- 16:11have no choice what happens on your opponent's turn while your opponent is taking their
- 16:17turn, and then you take your turn. It just now the turns take
- 16:21a little bit longer, well, taking an extend. Like that's why Lances
- 16:26was problematic, blown up right, because that was a problem. You want
- 16:32to hear a funny story. So I was. I was going through a
- 16:37bunch of like just stuff, and I posted it on our Facebook and Instagram
- 16:45and Twitter follow us on all those things. I found my first ever that
- 16:51I thought had what it took to win a vault. It was a sure,
- 17:00yeah, I know you're degenerate. You're fine, I am a degenerate,
- 17:04but like I mean, it's this is this is top level key Forge.
- 17:08It's gonna be degenerate. Like top level of any card game is degenerate.
- 17:15It just it's the way the card games work. I like sealed Sealed
- 17:23is a way for it to be less degenerate. Absolutely, but you know,
- 17:30like this is this is just how the top tier levels of card games
- 17:34work. It's going to be degenerate at the very highest levels. Just is
- 17:41I think like there's no matter what it is, like, there's no magic
- 17:45game. What do you how is that not? Did you not have to
- 17:51be degenerate? That's through design choices that the developers make when they make their
- 17:56games. There's lots of games that were not degenerate at top end. What
- 18:02okay, what game is not degenerate at the top end? Most mid level
- 18:07magic stuff is not that degenerate. It's the legacy is pretty dame to GM.
- 18:15But yeah, that's a problem with long term design. I would I
- 18:19would beg to differ that most modern stuff isn't degenerate. That's That's what I'm
- 18:29gonna equate it to. Maybe standards not as degenerate because you're working with a
- 18:33lesser cardpool. But I don't think so. But it was a lands deck.
- 18:40We got lots to go over. Next week is Vegas, baby.
- 18:44Yeah, so numbers are looking real good community, so great job. And
- 18:51it's weird what happens when you don't put the vault to around a major US
- 18:55holiday? Huh? Yeah, and you tell people it's limited and might say
- 19:00out, I think that helps too. I don't know if that necessarily you
- 19:03have lots of notice and the location is generally easier acceptable, I do,
- 19:11Yeah, like there's any other I guess Baltimore isn't a bad place to have
- 19:15fly to coastwise, but Rochester is not great. San Antonio is actually pretty
- 19:19awful for flight costs. How about Roseville? Yeah, Roseville is not not
- 19:26amazing. Yeah, it's a big Roosevelt. You're always going to have Roosevelt,
- 19:33no matter what where it's made, Like it's a period of the story,
- 19:37you're going to have Roseville. Indy is a crappy place to fly too.
- 19:45Well that I can't I understand what's there. But when we look at
- 19:49key Forge, when you have each of these other locations that are a little
- 19:52bit harder to be able to fly to, you can see why one on
- 19:57the more on the west coast in two with a major hub in Las Vegas.
- 20:03It's just it's appealing to me. I mean, the fact that there's
- 20:07not one in Illinois still blows my mind. It's not that far from Minneapolis,
- 20:15and I get that, But at the same time, like Indianapolis,
- 20:21so it's it's that the area is already pretty well served. It's saturated.
- 20:26I think is a major hub, no doubt. I mean then then you're
- 20:33gonna be going ahead and looking at places like Atlanta, or going ahead and
- 20:36more on the West coast or southwest. I think those are going to be
- 20:40for Miami, whereside for Vegas. I think it's a great location. But
- 20:47Vegas is next week. Hopefully we can get drass Car to call in and
- 20:52he's calling from the bar, Well, yeah, I'll be at the bar
- 20:56Thursday night. We can all have a drazz Court experience there, you go.
- 21:00Sure we can. We can come with our favorite beverage and sure that'd
- 21:06be great. Is this is this week's episode episode two forty eight or is
- 21:10next week's episode two? Did so we're at two forty seven. You published
- 21:15two forty eight because you'd had that online, So this one this is two
- 21:21forty nine. So next week will be two fifty boys, two hundred and
- 21:25fifty episodes. That's crazy. I was thinking we should do the AMA.
- 21:30I don't know because you'll be gone, but I guess AMA would be.
- 21:33You know what, let's do it. You guys ahead, better post get
- 21:38some, get some. I'll set up the I'll set up the channel after
- 21:42we're done here, but Ama next week, put your question of the disc
- 21:45Pard. We'll see how we get to before we break into pure insanity and
- 21:51degeneracy. My question is not too many. When are you going to actually
- 21:56put Sheep, dress Card and I on the show notes so that we get
- 22:00credit for being podcasts with you because it is still I'm looking and oh,
- 22:06I was actually trying to be able to find our AMA where I was talking
- 22:08about punching Sheep in the face. And it has taken me a long time.
- 22:12I've gone down a really deep rabbit hole Boys and Girls where I've listened
- 22:15to multiple podcasts pretty much all of our amas that I could find across the
- 22:19last what I was doing, I was doing some research for a friend who
- 22:26had posted on our AC channel, and that's that's the type of work that
- 22:30I like to do. But it was pretty funny because I was that's how
- 22:33I actually found that number one, I'm gonna, what are you? What
- 22:37are you talking about the show notes? I don't do show notes, Okay,
- 22:44so the same links and every week that's what I'm saying. So it
- 22:48actually still has us via AI in Google actually all of the podcast is for
- 22:53you and z hold on, hold on Google. Oh yeah. Archos Carters
- 22:57Weekly podcast explored the car Key Forge, Big Z and the Wookie cover a
- 23:02multitude of topics, include his tips, tricks, competitive play, a vault
- 23:04or vault war on your standard. You're talking about spring that's it. Wow,
- 23:11you're talking about Spreaker the show infun Spreaker. Yeah, we're saying your
- 23:18stuff's out of date. Yeah, we're saying that it's out of date.
- 23:21And we're saying that you do actually have to release episodes when we record them.
- 23:25You can't just We're we're pretty sure that don't ask for don't beyond reasonable
- 23:30in your expectations. Well, but but we have merchless he is no longer
- 23:36here. That's now my responsibility to go ahead and harass Wookie to make sure
- 23:41that it gets posted. Yeah, we have a merchant. Didn't know what
- 23:47is this? GG sucks Men's Premium tech tole. Yeah, yes, you've
- 23:57brought I'm sure you have. You sent me the direct lag. I didn't
- 24:04see this all right, you should post that into AC live show notes.
- 24:08We are recording a day later for all those who are joining us in podcast
- 24:12land because we celebrated with fireworks and blowing off fingers or pindages yesterday for the
- 24:18fourth of July. I could get a really hold up your hand and prove
- 24:23that one to me. Come on, Dan lost years ago. Listen,
- 24:32it's getting I don't know what's going on. I feel uncomfortable. All right,
- 24:38I will do I have anything to actually talk about? Yes, we
- 24:41do actual topic we have. We have a Martian Civil war coming, and
- 24:48I'm just showing you how the elders are so wise? Isn't that what we
- 24:56do? All? I will, I will update the I will update the
- 25:02show. Got I don't think I've updated that since I posted that when we
- 25:06first started, but check, yeah, go ahead, bring it, put
- 25:08it, put it on your put it on your list of things that I
- 25:11probably won't get to for next week, and then you can harass me about
- 25:15it then. But we do have a Martian Civil war. It is upon
- 25:18us, the great thing that we were told was going to happen all those
- 25:22months ago. Back at KFC two Extra Crispy, we still need to name
- 25:27KFC three. I don't think we've named it yet, but this this upcoming
- 25:34August sixteenth through September fifteenth, will be the Martian Civil War. A skis
- 25:41them between the forces of House Mars. For additional information, okay, whatever,
- 25:45that's not important. I'm skipping that portion. You can go read the
- 25:52article if you so desire. There's something going on with Mars. And then
- 25:57I don't remember which one which one came out first preparing for war or to
- 26:00the victor goes the spoils. There is something that I don't know. They
- 26:06have dates. Yeah, August sixteenth through September. Oh, this change because
- 26:11one is okay, So one says August fifteenth through September sixteenth, and now
- 26:18this says August sixteenth through September seventeenth. For the world face. Also,
- 26:23yeah, you also had you also had so first came the Martian Civil War
- 26:30years on June twenty eighth. Then you had Baltimore Vault Tour. See I
- 26:33leave for a couple of weeks and week talking about the Baltimore Vault tour.
- 26:37Already you were you were in Disney, but we did. But you we
- 26:44had We had a draz Court experience. We had lots of drinking. But
- 26:48you didn't have this stats anyway, I guess we didn't. We could we
- 26:52could hit on that later and then and then to the Victor goes to smiles
- 26:56came out on the second all right, because we have tons of keyboards news
- 27:02to talk about Fred. That pretty much explained the whole schism. So we
- 27:07have the Elders versus the Iron X Rebels. And basically you're going to from
- 27:15what I understand, I think this is everybody's understanding, is you are going
- 27:21to get Now, I'm a little confused on this, but we'll we'll,
- 27:25we'll, we'll hash it out here. So everyone's getting that we're confused on
- 27:30this, a little bit soused the rest of us, I'm going to answer
- 27:33them and we can go on. So basically, we're all getting a pack
- 27:38of Martian carts, a pod, yes, a pod right of twelve twelve
- 27:45Martian carts. We're all Martians, we're allowing and then what do we buy
- 27:49three decks and put them? And that pod has to be basically when you
- 27:55go in from you're going to have to choose whether you're the whether you're the
- 27:59old or you're the rebels. So it's a it's a sealed event, right,
- 28:06correct. So that means that the local store t o the organizer,
- 28:11you know, can Basically, it's decide if you're going all three decks or
- 28:17you're gonna grab one deck and then you're just gonna, you know, drop
- 28:22your drop a pod and put in the marshal drop a pod and put in
- 28:25this this this Martian situation. Now, each pack that the retailer purchases has
- 28:30six little boxes. Right, Uh so each pack has like six players,
- 28:34right, and so the kit has six pods, three rebels and three elders.
- 28:42Right, so you get you're gonna get either Elder or Rebel, and
- 28:45then you're gonna right and it's worth really generated pod and you're gonna right shove
- 28:53that one of your decks. My question is rock and roll, how are
- 28:59they going to be general rated? Generated? Just so? But like,
- 29:04okay, so the IRONYX rebels are just gonna have Rebels cards like and then
- 29:10to the Elders. Does that do these draw from all sets Mars was in?
- 29:14Do they only draw from? Wow? I think, why would we
- 29:18know that? We don't know, We don't know. They have a hint.
- 29:22We don't totally know, but there is a hint, right, Because
- 29:25if you go to the Key Force Special event Martians Civil War, there are
- 29:29two cards pictured that we have not seen before. That was my next question.
- 29:33Will we see cards that we haven't seen? I think answers Yes,
- 29:37I think so because right here, uh uh gi Nick's boom Ji Knucks,
- 29:48I see your giants Boom three power what armor Martians Soldier After fight, you
- 30:00may discard a non Mars creature if you do deal damage to an enemy creature
- 30:06equal to the discarded creature's power. Card designs not final. It says blow
- 30:11that this is for anyone who wants to follow along there, so you can
- 30:15see that one Wookie. Yeah, yeah, that's so. It's a rebel.
- 30:19Looks like he's got some sort of like that. Is that like a
- 30:22flame, chainsaw or something. I don't know. I don't know where you
- 30:25see chain saw in all that. Maybe it's not a chain saw. I
- 30:30don't know. I think I think he's pressing a remote that is going ahead
- 30:33and down. Oh yeah yeah, yeah, there's just something behind. Yeah,
- 30:34he's like blowing up something, hence the boom name. Uh so,
- 30:38I mean, as is written, this card's not very good, but you
- 30:45can see it's got the red band, so like you see behind it the
- 30:49Elder card, right, which is an action. But we can't super can't
- 30:53really read it, but it's definitely new a creature. Yeah, that's a
- 30:59side. So we can go ahead in the captures right for each blank,
- 31:06make a token. See and I'd assume that's a creature, So potentially making
- 31:10more tokens for each ember on this creature. Make a token creature. That'd
- 31:14be pretty cool. Now, what happens if my diified you if we're are
- 31:17we doing gr because technically GR you can't if you don't have a token to
- 31:22create creature unless these pods come with tokens. Yes, that's possible. Maybe
- 31:29they're special tokens for each side. So we don't know, we don't.
- 31:33We know that the pods should not be that there's nothing saying that this will
- 31:37be tournament legal, so it's just a startline event that's taking place. These
- 31:44are not tournament legal. Yeah, so we know that this is a fun
- 31:47off. Here's your pods. They could have a small pool of cards that
- 31:49are for the rebels and for the Elders that we're going ahead and shoving in
- 31:55to our alliance, so you know you're going to be alliancing. I know,
- 32:00I'm excited to see some new cards to play and have fun. It's
- 32:04another little section of seals. Let's have fun. Yeah, so I was,
- 32:09I mean, I was nonplussed about the about the alliance aspect, but
- 32:14I guess we just have to. You know, by alliancing Dras Corps,
- 32:22it means that you can lean into the story elements. Otherwise they have people
- 32:27who aren't going to be playing Mars. What also is going to be important
- 32:30is that, regardless let's say that Rebels go ahead and win two games,
- 32:36instead of it being rebels against rebels, rebels will always pair up against the
- 32:40other elder and elders will always pair up against rebels. And I just used
- 32:45rebels there, but it could be elders who win. You know, they're
- 32:49the two and zero players. They're still going to go ahead and face against
- 32:52your ironics rebels. I do love this. I do like what they're doing
- 32:55here. So each side, each side's victory in this place them one step
- 33:01closer to the favoral outcome in the war. After the event, each your
- 33:05retailer will upload the results of their local games to Ghost Galaxy. We will
- 33:09then tabulate the results and announce the victor. I would have liked to I
- 33:14would have liked to have seen a link already into this article where here it's
- 33:19an end, so so we can so we can see how you're I mean,
- 33:22they have how you can order that, all right, So I like
- 33:28that they have. I like that they have the store locator too, But
- 33:30I want to be able to have it all in one spot where right at
- 33:34the bottom you can then have enter your results here. And obviously it's going
- 33:39to be something that any results that are put in before the period day can
- 33:45just be eliminated. Right. Question? Does the store just upload the results
- 33:51like rebels one? I think? Or is this supposed to be this is
- 33:55supposed to be in it? Not jam? What is it? Place style?
- 34:01We don't know them? Yeah, none of right, Like Rodion asked
- 34:07a question in chat, right, do you think a nine o victory well
- 34:12the same way as a five to four victory? I don't know. Probably,
- 34:17I think it's just going to go victories. Well, which how many
- 34:23stores went rebel versus how many stores went? Ye? Are a B doesn't
- 34:34matter? Yep? All right? Remonstrat of wins? How many total wins
- 34:38were there? It's going to go by wins, just how many wins.
- 34:42It'd also be cool if they had like a landing page on this whole thing
- 34:45where like you could watch in real time the results move back and forth.
- 34:51That would be she was winning that we should do that. Yeah, But
- 34:54winning the Martian Civil War will have a permanent and long term effect for the
- 34:59future of Housemark. Victories for the Elders will see them maintain the iconography and
- 35:04color scheme of the current House Mars, while future releases of new cards will
- 35:07play into the controlling style of the elder mindset. Victory for the which what
- 35:14is the elder mindset? That'd be good. I guess you got to read
- 35:16that whole other thing. Yeah, that comes on the next page. Victory
- 35:22for the Rebels will leave scars upon the House of Mars, and its icronography
- 35:27will permanently change to that of the IRONICX Rebels. The Mars coverler scheme will
- 35:31will incorporate red and black accents, and future cards of House Mars will lean
- 35:37towards that the Rebels does best fighting. Oh man, now I'm with sheep.
- 35:44In addition, whichever size winds it is that they will receive the first
- 35:49ever Martian Leader card. Yep. So now here's the question is like the
- 35:54Martin Leader the whole card is designed, and then all we're actually picking is
- 35:59the artwork that goes on it. Probably no, I bet you they have
- 36:04both in mind. This is like that's like when the dms like, oh,
- 36:07you're totally making decision what color had bars. I don't know the way
- 36:15my secrets I feel. I feel that there's a pretty big split between the
- 36:21two sides here, elders being a little bit different on their play style controlling
- 36:28and rebels being more unfighting. I like the iconography that I don't understand where
- 36:35became fighters. I don't understand that. I don't. I don't see that
- 36:39because they got the ray guns, they got the rebels are the ones that
- 36:44iron we then shoot things fighting fighting means maybe means combative and not the keyword
- 36:52fight with any freaking luck. Yeah, I don't know. We might need
- 36:58now, I'm I'm I'm wishing. Unfortunately for our group, the word fighting
- 37:05is what is kind of the turn off. So I'm gonna need some clarification
- 37:08on this before I choose a make PROPNR fight. Okay, now, well,
- 37:16but now Mar's gonna fight, you know, because a bunch of flocksham
- 37:21spewers are gonna really make you want to play this game. No, brick
- 37:25nasty. I can see my big beef. He's wanting to fight my little
- 37:30Mars creatures running around and trying to control makes sense. A few more tunks
- 37:35and uh, what's the other guy who stuns the neighbors when he fights?
- 37:40I was gonna say that's not it, or thank you. Don't you want
- 37:46more of those cars? No? Oh no, they could come and stunned
- 37:52too, because they got no elders leading them. All. This is gonna
- 37:54be awesome. Go revels baby. All right, here's the h I just
- 38:00looked at all Mars cards, Mars creatures right with the card text fight.
- 38:07So here they are in alphabetical order or whatever. I guess it's not alphabetic
- 38:14whatever order or Connor Connor puts them in. Uh John Smith, So I
- 38:22don't know, Uh John Smith. I didn't realize. Actually John Smith had
- 38:28a fight effect. Yeah, so he's never fought in his life. He's
- 38:35never fought. Actually, you're already losing. You're doing it wrong. Maybe
- 38:42maybe he would fight someone who is elusive to break that elusive and still trigger.
- 38:47Maybe wherever American fight, now that sometimes I'll do because if you're desperate
- 38:58you lixid event. I don't even know what that thing does. That's the
- 39:02one where you get a bunch of power counters based on Mars cards in your
- 39:06discard pile. Oh boy, yeah a mind worm Okay, fine, that's
- 39:13fine. The Purple Aeronaut could give it after fight to the don Elyxia.
- 39:19Oh boy, apparently quick slick Plaguebaster is also after fight interesting red death.
- 39:30That's actually a pretty good fight effect. After fight gain one drug card.
- 39:35I think he's also just permanently stunned. If you're not haunted, he cannot
- 39:40ready, you can't read haunted, but he does enhance damage tight, tight,
- 39:46so that's good. You look at Megamouth also had fight who knew because
- 39:53he's never again, never fought a day in his life, right yip x
- 40:00okay, steal those upgrades. I guess uh. None of these are really
- 40:07rebels, by the way, weird because the only rebels I think of are
- 40:13iron ex Rebel, which just ready to each of his neighbors when he enters
- 40:15play. I think targets able. When you play him, he goes,
- 40:19you get to archive a card from your discard, So there's fighting here from
- 40:25all those rebels yeah, you ceo bolter, right, that has a fight
- 40:31effect. That one's not bad because you get to, I believe, what
- 40:36do you get to do with him? You get to not exist. This
- 40:42damage destroys that creature perge it. Yes, that's but again we always it's
- 40:45a fight reap, so we use the reap. The Yickslick's string Buire had
- 40:52a relatively poor after fight effect and two ames creature and move it to either
- 40:59flank of its controllers. The whole problem with Mars fight is they fight,
- 41:01but they died. Whatever they're fighting too small, they're too small, like
- 41:07you need some like Tonk wasn't a bad fighter because he was what five or
- 41:10six power and then he feels himself after a fight. Yeah, yep,
- 41:15yeah that's true. I mean you could what was it the destroyer. The
- 41:21destroyer came to stunned, but he was like a nine to one. Yeah,
- 41:27yeah, so it was okay to not to be stunned, right.
- 41:32I prefer my beasts more mind Worm with the before fight effect, and Collector
- 41:37Worm was in spite of fact and Collector Worm mostly because of the two power
- 41:42five armor. So it actually will archive, so it says fight archive.
- 41:45The creature collector worm fights. If that creature leaves your archives, put it
- 41:49into its owner's hand instead. And I can see that playing in really really
- 41:52well with we don't know what side. We don't know what side the worms
- 41:57are on. Hey, I'm just saying I would for to see our beasts
- 42:00come into this battle. So like fight effects of that sort are more interesting
- 42:05to me before fights. Again, the impact of before fights. It doesn't
- 42:12have to survive. The creature of mineworm fights deals damage equal to its power
- 42:15to each of its neighbors. Yep, those are those are things that those
- 42:21are things that I've prefer seen. Was mentioned then, of course, the
- 42:25you've got Yick Slick's the many which I forgot was a fight effect. But
- 42:32I guess he gets big so you can actually because he gets three plus one
- 42:36encounters when you archive stuff, so he's not bad. What about here,
- 42:40you can do creatures after an enemy creatures destroyed fighting gram your opponent loses one.
- 42:46That's the final one there, So maybe we'll reprint grammaed won't that be?
- 42:53But he but he again, he's a beast. We don't know what's
- 42:55side of the beasts, saiddan true, could I probably they'll probably be back
- 43:01no matter what. Probably I mean the algorithmically generated so you know, yep,
- 43:10who knows now. But the elders. I was, I was all
- 43:16for the rebels, but now I'm like, okay, get elders it is,
- 43:22and get whatever is handed to you when you show up. Lookie,
- 43:27So I mean just think about elder's. Right. You've got like John Smith,
- 43:30right, he's actually an elder. I know he has a fight effect,
- 43:32but he's an elder. Right, he's got the long neck slip yp
- 43:37is. Okay, I guess the doctor Ziglaphrex right, he's an elder.
- 43:40Right. The proliferator, that's an elder. It's a playmaster is an elder?
- 43:46Should be say elder on them? No, but they have the older
- 43:51the long necks, right, like the the zoo keeper has the long neck
- 43:57diplomat. Al Right, I guess the implanters an elder, right. Bunch
- 44:04of these, bunch of the better ones are our elders. I would just
- 44:09also like to give gratulations to Gigi on upgrading their website. Things. Move
- 44:14on it now. They're not all the stand anything. Something like if you
- 44:20look at the if you look at the picture here that little Martian guy moves
- 44:23and there's a little swirly things going around. And then if you go to
- 44:28the landing page, a little the sky beast thing moves and so does the
- 44:32little ship moving up in the world. There you go. But yeah,
- 44:42originally because the next question we have is who do we want to win?
- 44:46Now? Now I don't know. I was always with the Rebel, but
- 44:50now I'm like, maybe the Elders got it. Yeah, I mean there
- 44:53in general, the cards seem to be better, right, I mean,
- 44:58remembers the Red right, But is Memoris Red good without the iron X rebels.
- 45:07It's weird how they designed this the last set right, because like memorycks
- 45:14A Red is great if you have IRONYX Rebel to ready and use him.
- 45:17But I guess we don't know if and you need things like scoop up and
- 45:21waste myrus first, and we don't even know what's set. I mean,
- 45:25I guess it's up to the teo what set we're going to be using.
- 45:29Well, typically the sets are the last two viable sets, so that should
- 45:32be gr and woe mm hmm. I guess if you're going I guess if
- 45:39you're going with the Elders, then you kind of have to go, WHOA,
- 45:45I don't know. I mean, we saw the one token card,
- 45:47but but yeah, I don't know. Are you gonna be a little like
- 45:52look at your pack and then decide which what debt to purchase to blend in?
- 46:00That seems you guys are overthinking this. We're gonna play some keyboards,
- 46:05We're gonna get a deck, We're going to slop in that pod. I
- 46:07think it'll be interesting too. If you have one deck, you know which
- 46:12pod you're actually subbing out. So there's a lot of options here. It's
- 46:16gonna be fun. And there is like a story element, by the way,
- 46:20and the story element, which I did read, it has actually yuxlicks
- 46:24like plotting against the other rebels, the Memorks, not the Memorys, the
- 46:30red plotting against other rebels, which is interesting, like other elders whatever I'm
- 46:36trying to say. Yeah, you're talking about from the article Martian Civil War
- 46:40storyline. Yep, yep, yep. Yeah, it's kind of fun to
- 46:46have a little storyline situation. Yeah, they put story into it. It'll
- 46:51be fun. Notice it says to be continued at the end, so hopefully
- 46:53you can add a little bit. We really don't have a story to follow
- 46:59right now? What do you mean? It says the story so far right?
- 47:02But where do I read the beginning of this story? That's the page.
- 47:07It literally, it's just it's just I understand that, but that's not
- 47:13really I mean, sure, okay, that's very I know where I know
- 47:21where it is. That's not the issue I'm having. It's just it's it's
- 47:24trying to complains. Do you know where the submit button is to publish our
- 47:30podcast? I do? And our podcast was published? Thank you? Oh
- 47:37I could I could hear the disdain in his voice. Hey, man,
- 47:39if you want to come cover for me at work anytime? Bro, Hey,
- 47:44just because you're down to one person, which is me, I actually
- 47:49really feel bad. I know that you've been hammered lately. I know you
- 47:52need that. I mean, it's just not it's not I mean, this
- 47:54is like I these are very very short. I just want more substance.
- 48:00Here. Well, I'm picturing sheep. Are you ready? Are you talked
- 48:05in? It is nine thirty six here? Do you have your pajamas on?
- 48:08Can you show that to everyone? No? I do not have my
- 48:12Pajamason okay, well, which is weird because he has Jr. Pajamas.
- 48:16It's actually it's actually pajamas with Jarr's face all over them. Oh, that's
- 48:21awesome. We should add that to the store. Revolution Grips the Empire.
- 48:30Are you ready for a story time? It sounds rely on on on their
- 48:37time. Let's see, we're already forty eight minutes in. Do we want
- 48:40to go over Baltimore? Do we want to some quickness? I think that
- 48:45we should totally record afterwards, me reading this for our page reading for a
- 48:50story. No, this would be we could you know what sounds like?
- 48:53It sounds like like a scroller in front of a cut Star Wars movie.
- 49:00Mm hmm, episode episode Revolution the Rebels. All right, so going over
- 49:10Baltimore super quickly. I feel like we went through all this, but we're
- 49:15gonna go through it real quick again. Top eight Commander Zoe or Zou seventy
- 49:22six for Sealed. That was awesome, guys, King of Blame, Top
- 49:28eight, Jovi, Top eight JJ Top eight Can't Marrow Top four Miggy.
- 49:32Top four runner up was a flaming hobo and champion was Ciccaca. He's this
- 49:45well known from our how do you it's from? It's from a d r.
- 49:52How do you pronounce your name? I don't know anyways. Ar Con
- 49:57results, Spreck top eight, Uh, the Horror of Horlan Top eight,
- 50:04Oukla Top eight, General Store Top eight, Vergas top four, Noble seventy

- 50:37What did I say? Did I say? Sneak? Probably sneak a
- 50:39snack listening to so congrat that. I was more interested in the actual stats.
- 50:49But you know you're giving all the part right. Well, you know,
- 50:52I wanted to make sure everyone got their recognition because, let me tell
- 50:54you, the moment, we don't recognize one party in here. We get
- 50:59apps totally bashed in on our own discord service. So y'all been recognized,
- 51:05right, Congratulations to all the winners. Uh stats real quick, ARCon Grim
- 51:14reminders twenty eight decks Field guess what for? But they had they had seventy
- 51:23six reminders. Decks one hundred percent of the field. Weird, how that
- 51:28would happen? It's seven zero actually seventy seventy one hundred percent of the field.
- 51:36Yeah, okay, call the arcons for Arcan. We had five decks
- 51:39or eight a eight point five percent of the field. World's Collide ten point
- 51:45two percent of the field with six decks. Mass Mutation had five decks or
- 51:50eight point five percent of the field. Dark tightings showing up at ARCon at
- 51:53one point seven percent of the field. Somebody brought a dark tidings deck wins
- 51:59of a Exchange twenty two percent and vault Master twenty three at one point seven
- 52:06I want to know how there were tidings of the VT vault Master deck to
- 52:09VIM deck. Yeah. Notice there was no ALA and there was no Vault
- 52:13Master twenty twenty four. So this means nobody opened a good VM twenty four
- 52:21that morning, because that or the day before that, that tends to be
- 52:23what happened. Somebody opens something and they're like, oh, I'm gonna try
- 52:27this, and then again nobody got that there was no AOA right in ar
- 52:31kinda yes. Yeah. One DT apologist out in the crowd YEP breakdown of
- 52:43the houses Shadows had four point nah four point zero. This bigger monitor kind
- 52:49of sucks. I got a larger monitor and now I can't read anything.
- 52:52So are you talking the houses Bigg're supposed to make it bigger, Well,
- 52:57only if you hit the make it like zoom in feature on Chrome. So
- 53:02I found it interesting for Arkon because it's what we're talking about. The deck
- 53:07listing Geistoid obviously representing a large majority of twenty one decks. But Star Alliance,
- 53:15I know you guys are giving some hate there. Star Lions equaled that
- 53:19it's also twenty one decks and then Brobnar close behind it twenty. Yeah,
- 53:23so I felt that was that was something that was interesting. Jumped out a
- 53:27little bit. Yeah, that is surprising to see them. How many Lee's
- 53:32were in the oh they didn't even make He didn't even make top ten cards.
- 53:36He did not make top ten. So I do not know off the
- 53:38top of my head. Unfathomable. So Brobner came in at twenty on Fathomble
- 53:42at eighteen, Aqua Don at seventeen, Logos at sixteen, Mars at fifteen,
- 53:46Unteamed at fourteen, and then you have a pretty big drop notice sorry,
- 53:51and at eleven and Sanctum at ten, so that is quite quite a
- 53:55drop. We got dist and Shadows both at seven mm hmmm, probably those
- 54:01coda decks. I guess it could be World's Clyde and massputation. And you
- 54:07know, just because I had been listening to old, old old episodes when
- 54:10we were still in the pandemic when we came back from KFC one, it's
- 54:15really interesting to go back to some older episodes and just see how dominant diss
- 54:21and Shadows was and now you don't see them at all. So well they
- 54:24need shadows, Well they did. They one hundred percent newtered it and Frankly
- 54:30gr is an amazing brought shadows back and four great and then gave them a
- 54:37bunch of tracky friends. Yeah. I was gonna say, but all their
- 54:40all their friends are garbage top ten cars. Let's uh, let's see if
- 54:46we see Annie Actually a couple in here that kind of surprised me. Junk
- 54:52Restoration number one, Reaver number two, opened the Seal at number three,
- 54:58Boo and number four Bisarre Slam five, Rebel IRONYX Rebel number six, Wins
- 55:02of Death, number seven, gem Coat Vendor. That one kind of catches
- 55:07me off Guard and number eight, Generous Offer at number nine, and be
- 55:10our Geist at number ten. Yeah, fourteen of them total. I mean,
- 55:21I guess it's both GR and whoa as. I feel like, if
- 55:25you're playing equadon GR you've already lost. No, I would argue an easy
- 55:34steel. Yeah, they they have the ability. I haven't gotten one of
- 55:38those yet, but they have the ability to. I mean Stokehasee that I
- 55:43play for Roseville had had gem Coat, had plenty of Steel that was there
- 55:49so generous offer, it had the generous offer and the what multi permanent record
- 55:54out negotiate. You've got the market fluctuation. I would have expected to see
- 56:00some of those on this list, not Gem Code Vendor. I guess it's
- 56:05a common and two sets. Yeah, we're pretty popular, so I guess.
- 56:07Yeah, like Reaver, Like Reaver isn't the greatest card in the world,
- 56:12but it's in a lot of Geystoid decks, so it wins. But
- 56:15twenty one star Alliance decks, uh, not a single star Alliance card.
- 56:22Yeah on the top ten list. That that is surprise interrob Brobdar twenty decks
- 56:30has Berserker slam on here. Unfathomable eighteen has opened the Seal. You know,
- 56:36Equadon at seventeen has two cards Gem Cocher Open the Seal was seventeen total.
- 56:43Again, you're gonna have a higher amount of open the Seal once it
- 56:46is polled. But that that was an interesting, unfathomable card. I guess
- 56:53I was not anticipating that being in ARCon. So I just really quickly.
- 57:00Three of the top eight our condex had star Alliance. So let's see.
- 57:07So Eternal has a double NFL double near future lens Uh retro technician, uh,
- 57:16double event horizon. Okay, let's look at I think there's a more
- 57:22interesting thing to talk about here. Amber sent Grand also NFL and then NFL.
- 57:34In does that tell you about NFL being near future lens? So what
- 57:37does that tell you about your future lens? Boys bost should should be ranted
- 57:43immediately? Well, I think I think that one of them is perfectly fine.
- 57:46But when we start to see multiples, one one tells us it's a
- 57:50good card. But when you see multiples, see NFL is a common right,
- 57:54No, that's uncommon. It is uncommon common. Yeah, it's uh,
- 57:59it's broken, should be immediately rated. Actually, just you don't think
- 58:05you're right. I don't all right, but I think the more interesting story
- 58:10here is we've got kind of the same effect we had last year, except
- 58:15this deck's winning ban Doola taking down its second vault to is this a second
- 58:22a third? No, just a second? Right, second win, second
- 58:27win? But top four in Rochester? Right, definitely top eight. I
- 58:32can't remember what it was, top four. I think it was top four.
- 58:35I think that was top four, had Bandola and it just it lost,
- 58:38so it just moved, didn't move forward. But again, now we've
- 58:43had three players have significantly great success with one deck. Have any of our
- 58:51feelings changed on the idea of deck ascension or are we still just whatever?
- 58:59I think all of it? Okay, So quick search here for Rochester show
- 59:05that Ben Doola finished top four. Yeah, I know it didn't win,
- 59:08but yes, both Southerly and Mike uh like whon he went ahead and finished
- 59:14top four. Then second act n asob were oh sob champion runner up second.
- 59:20But again, now we have three players who have finished in the top
- 59:22four with the same deck, and the same deck has taken down two separate
- 59:25fault tours, and Bandola again will be at I believe it will be at
- 59:30Vegas if I'm not mistaken. Yes, no running it. I don't know
- 59:36who's gonna run it. Mhm. So yeah, so the Vegas you gotta
- 59:42you gotta be thinking, how am I gonna beat ban Doola? Correct?
- 59:45And I think that's more the line that we wanted to. I'm thinking,
- 59:47how is somebody else gonna beat ban Doola? Wow? That's I mean,
- 59:52yes, but but that's even better. But like you should, if you
- 59:55get the top eight, you gotta be thinking how do I beat it?
- 1:00:01How do you beat it? Well? Is I'm gonna get really lucky?
- 1:00:10I actually thought that. I thought that was absolutely amazing. He hit it
- 1:00:14too, I don't, I don't. I don't know if a horseshoe in
- 1:00:17your ass is gonna is a great strategy. It's not. Then, And
- 1:00:25even even then he hit it, he hit the Witch Queen twice and still
- 1:00:30lost. Well, but he also hit himself because it Mandola is not just
- 1:00:37about the Witch Queen like it's still got the lock in it too. Yes,
- 1:00:40correct, it's Briokalp with triple taunt. That's what has to be kept
- 1:00:46in mindy, So with the winds of death, that's all put off to
- 1:00:51the side and then it's going to be there, So have away because you
- 1:00:55you're playing one of each card type and you better be able to go ahead
- 1:01:01and get through. You know what, you know what the answer is creature.
- 1:01:08I got the answer. You guys ready love as they can fight through.
- 1:01:16Don't break a niffle queen. They can fight through to just saying with
- 1:01:28that lock, you're only playing one creature, So what is it? What
- 1:01:35I will say. What I will say is very very important in retrospect is
- 1:01:38to go ahead and when that Wins of Death is played, to have your
- 1:01:45most expansive house of creatures to place that out that presents a bit of a
- 1:01:50channel or or enough action cards. Is just the board. Oh actually you
- 1:01:54can only play one. Never mind, that's that's the problem. You're playing
- 1:01:59one, and so then it becomes tighter and tighter. It's done, so
- 1:02:01you have to be as soon as Wins the Death is played, you're going
- 1:02:04to have to be unloading first. Before they go ahead and unload. It
- 1:02:08sloads it down, but there's still plenty of other tools to deal with it.
- 1:02:12And it's got recursion to bring them back. Yep, that's why you
- 1:02:16need Grim Reaper yeah, the grim Reaper is is it a big counter?
- 1:02:22Right? You need Grim Reaper, but if it's behind Taunt, it doesn't
- 1:02:28matter. Does repurge Boom? And so what you're gonna end up doing is
- 1:02:34purging Brill and then going ahead and purging your Grim Reaper. And at that
- 1:02:39point then you can play is more important that every day? Right? No?
- 1:02:45No, no no, because what happens then is with the count being
- 1:02:50out, you can then play your action to go ahead and board wite O.
- 1:02:53That is that is the reason why it has to be done. But
- 1:03:00you need to have the right cards. So we did see right, we
- 1:03:07saw in Baltimore, like Phobevor is another good card that that could cancel out,
- 1:03:15you know. And then we like to talk about a lot of cards
- 1:03:19that kill Brio. Right cards they kill yep, yep, yep, yep.
- 1:03:24My name deck, by the way, for Amber Skuy's is totally uh
- 1:03:30kills bo Yeah kills. The Fortune Reverser was the other card that I was
- 1:03:35thinking of. So this creature's text box is considered blank except for traits play
- 1:03:39destroy all other upgrades attached to this creature. So as an upgrade that gives
- 1:03:44you more play room, too. Yep, another good one. Uh plan
- 1:03:49ten right, artifact that will clear the board and hold hold things up.
- 1:03:57So that's a good one. Yeah, and they only get one back every
- 1:04:01end step. All right, let's go to Alliance Alliance Vault tour field.
- 1:04:08You had one call the Arcons deck, one AOA deck, one World's Collide
- 1:04:12deck, one Mass Mutation deck, one Dark Tidings deck, five Wins of
- 1:04:16Exchange deck, three Grim Reminders deck, and one Vault Master twenty four deck.
- 1:04:24Enormous field. Guys, Yeah, fourteen people, Hey DT one man,
- 1:04:30this is huge. It's outrageous. It's like it's there. It was,
- 1:04:36and I'm glad to see that. It was one very impressive. So
- 1:04:40I finally figured out a way to break DT. Oh yeah, Congress,
- 1:04:45a real deal breaking DT. It's important. It's it's important that set eventually
- 1:04:50broke something because a lot the only thing it was breaking before this was hearts
- 1:04:56of people who bought any of it. Well, but we could see lines
- 1:05:00that could be taken, and I think the Lions that Frog Gigs put together
- 1:05:04is a great example that there are cards that can definitely take Alliance down.
- 1:05:11We just have not seen that come out in a standard ARCon Deck, let's
- 1:05:16see top ten houses, Untamed, Logo, Star Alliance, Brobner, Mars
- 1:05:21Discs, Equadon, Gunfathomable one, Sanctum guys started being number eight on this
- 1:05:27list kind of I mean, kind of shocking. I mean there was only
- 1:05:32three decks in the field with there's only three grim reminders yeahs five wins of
- 1:05:41exchange. I don't know. I just think data gets distorted when you have
- 1:05:45such a small pool to be looking at with fourteen total decks, And that's
- 1:05:49why they ran the two l O to top cut versus going ahead and having
- 1:05:55a top eight top to top table. Right, yes, yes, sorry
- 1:06:00they went too low to the top table versus the top eight. Shocking.
- 1:06:05Kind of shocking Top ten card Legendary Trainer not really a percent shocked there,
- 1:06:11Rant and Rived not shocked. Abistle Site not shocked. Brick Nasty medic Ingram
- 1:06:15kind of shocked a little bit. Uh bow, I hate this card.
- 1:06:20Blernian Hydra yep. Kind of shocked at that one. Well, but picture
- 1:06:27you have out of the fourteen, Yeah, there was only wait, isn't
- 1:06:33medic Ingram only in a single set, It's only in World's Collide as far
- 1:06:38as We's Collide and there was one World's Collide deck, does that mean there
- 1:06:41was five medic Ingram's in the World's Collide deck? Uh? You also had
- 1:06:45you did have a Vault Master deck too, Okay, Okay, that might
- 1:06:49have. Yeah, I guess that's possible. It was not Ingram in Mass
- 1:06:53Mutation. No it wasn't. I don't think so. Okay, continue going
- 1:07:00on boo control of the week, which that's in a weird one. I
- 1:07:04mean that that means that deck, that one call the Archons deck had four
- 1:07:11control of the weeks. That's crazy, crushing deep. I mean it had
- 1:07:15to have, right, It's only in call Coda. I'm just picturing pork
- 1:07:20sorry. Oh okay, and in Furnat finally getting back into that top ten
- 1:07:29with four. How many Worlds Clients decks are there in Mass Mutation too?
- 1:07:34It had to have been in the yeah ones, yeah, yeah. See
- 1:07:39what do you feel about this? I feel that you're sleeping over here playing
- 1:07:42t c O. Tell me what do you think about this Alliance field?
- 1:07:46I don't know. I didn't look at it. It's such a small walky
- 1:07:49field. I don't I'm sorry, I've actually some I'm surprised we didn't get
- 1:08:01a what's alliance? That's actually what I'm more surprised at. I would I
- 1:08:10wish that I could click on the lines results and actually see the decks that
- 1:08:17were put together versus when you click expansion with nothing like that. That is
- 1:08:25a little sad to me for for the fourteen people who are there, because
- 1:08:28there's some very committed individuals who came up with some neat ideas. So I
- 1:08:31like to see information in cards. You could also check on that medic ingram,
- 1:08:38but it makes it a little bit hard. Scholar spam was real.
- 1:08:43I know Migi is probably playing scholar spam. Yeah, scholar spam is real.
- 1:08:47And then Julie July also play in scholar spam. I love scholar spam
- 1:08:50decks. There's so much fun. I wish never mind. All right,
- 1:08:57second Ember, Uh, do we have a second number? Winner? Did
- 1:09:00it stay in here? Player? Yeah? Down? Keep going it for
- 1:09:08Friday and s names Yeah? Oh there we go. Okay, So winners
- 1:09:15for second Ember Albino, Cheese Monkey, and Loca Car. Yeah. So
- 1:09:21when I was listening to the old episodes like four years ago, I apparently
- 1:09:28was calling Loka Car low key. Oh there. It had it like each
- 1:09:32episode that as I went back in time was listening. I apologize, man,
- 1:09:36I was slaughtering your name left and right. So Loco car we got
- 1:09:40this. And then for the Menagerie and Unchained Dance Off, you had Albino
- 1:09:49Cheese Monkey and Kid Dynamite. Yeah, both players. Two players went undefeated
- 1:09:56and Albino Cheese Monkey Weekend Key Warrior, you sucked the most. Here's your
- 1:10:02counselor no, I'm sorry, No, it's good. A lot of a
- 1:10:08lot of games, you know what the deal with that is? I almost
- 1:10:14sometimes when when I saw what you walked away with and what I walked away
- 1:10:16with, I was Pissed's not gonna lie like you. You sucked all weekend
- 1:10:24right in the main the main tournaments, right, oh yeah, just so
- 1:10:30you didn't do jack beans in the main event. So here I am struggling
- 1:10:35warriors, struggle to do well in the main events, to finish just outside
- 1:10:44of making anything, getting nothing, And here comes Dascourps with all this stuff
- 1:10:49because hell yeah, he sucked the most and regular events and then won some
- 1:10:55things. Lookie your breen, man, You're like, really you're really green
- 1:11:01right now? Envy is just dripping off of you guy who's upset about taking
- 1:11:09second place again and not going to go a place to the wall of the
- 1:11:13Wall of Okay, no, no, no, no, I don't care
- 1:11:16about the Wall of arc hun shame. I would like to be playing in
- 1:11:19Worlds, but that I did not earn my spot, so I am not
- 1:11:24there, and then Sheep has to come along and do me up and say
- 1:11:29something. He won and then he didn't even finish top eight. He did
- 1:11:32top four, top four in one. So Shenanigans, it is what it
- 1:11:38is. But that that's kind of your overview. I should have went through
- 1:11:42this earlier. But don't forget. Next week we'll be doing the AMA Summetric
- 1:11:47questions and we have not only Vegas next week, but Ho Chi Min City,
- 1:11:55Vietnam vol Tour is also happening, So good luck to everyone participating there.
- 1:12:00I'm excited. There's a couple more vaults coming up. So you got
- 1:12:03Homburg, Germany in August ninth and eleventh, shaying Hi China. I did
- 1:12:08check, but it was too expensive. That's September sixth through eighth, Florence,
- 1:12:12Italy, September thirteenth through fifteenth, the Madrid Spain September twenty seventh through
- 1:12:16twenty ninth. We have a couple of friends who are headed to some of
- 1:12:18these international vaults. So good luck to everyone who's playing next weekend or were
- 1:12:24used to going to Madrid? Yeah, are you going to play there?
- 1:12:28Are you going to go see the sites? Now? Do them both?
- 1:12:30Doing both, that's the way to do it. He is a legend of
- 1:12:33that sheep, so you see how she went and just stoled the Canadian's pride.
- 1:12:40He's going to Madrid to do it. No pressure, sheep. Just
- 1:12:45you know, you know what they say about fraud, it only works outside
- 1:12:51of the country. I mean he won in the US. Yeah, Well,
- 1:12:58according to Sheep, Texas is not in the US, not part of
- 1:13:02the it's a part of hell. That's a that's an that's an international waters
- 1:13:12for those of you wondering, good to know A. But that's gonna do
- 1:13:18it for us this week. I will get this out eventually. Hopefully by
- 1:13:24the time we do it next week episode we'll see in about a month.
- 1:13:28Boys and Girls next next month sounds good. We'll be going to gen Con
- 1:13:31by the time I post this. Yep. Yeah, I'm gonna put a
- 1:13:38question in the A M A right now when will look releas over under August
- 1:13:45third? So what do I get when I prove y'all wrong? Oh see,
- 1:13:49now he's actually gonna do this. You're gonna have one Miss Sydney Steele
- 1:13:54who's very happy as she's running. And we also decided that she runs just
- 1:14:00like out of anger against us. She must hear our voices and that like
- 1:14:02motivates her to run faster. So probably yeah, I mean I hate us
- 1:14:08too, So well, all right on that note, since he's already trying
- 1:14:17to duck out here, is he gone at bedtime? Not gone yet,
- 1:14:23but damn it, I'm trying. It's bedtime. Go to bed too.
- 1:14:28I got to catch play to the morning. So wait are you going?
- 1:14:31Wait? Oh my god, we're not talking anymore. In the show manye
- 1:14:42have fun in Vegas early Yay, Yay, happy forged. Everyone may forge
