  Speaker 1: What's going on? Everybody? I'm the one, the only w
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: oh okay, I e We're back again. I have a
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: new mixer, so if you hear something strange, that's why
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: we went. We went to the old, old, but new
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: right like, so it's it's new, but it's the same
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: one I used to use, So the old one. So
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: you guys want to hear the story.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I will give us the story.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know if this is the whole story. How
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: did we but last week or two weeks? Two weeks ago?
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Last week we recorded, I recorded archives, record, and then
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I recorded acorder. Nothing out of the norm until Saturday
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: when I go to edit and all I hear is
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: just every time somebody talks, whether that's you, me, whoever,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: all it is is static. And I went, oh fuck,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: what happened? Right? So I message you guys, tell you
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the episode is fucked and we got to figure it out.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: So I start to figure it out process and I'm like, well,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I must have a dead cord right now. It's not
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the chord because the chords getting connection. I'm like, okay,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I thought it was weird that like the headphones were working,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: but like the microphone wasn't so at that point, I'm like,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: it's got to be the chord, right. I replaced a
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of stuff. The only thing I didn't replace
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: was the cloud lifter, but I replace all my chords,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and then finally I get a I get kind of
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: a whiff of like of my actual mixer, and I'm like, oh,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: that smells. That smells burnt. I decided to take it off,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: you know, I kind of do a quick sniff. Yeah,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: it's I don't know if it caught on fire. I
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: don't know what happened, but it is it did have
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: some sort of electrical something or other because it was
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: burnt on the bottoms kind of charred a little bit.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: So something along the way happened. Really strange. But we
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: all know I had problems with that mixer since day
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: one anyways, so I wasn't too sad to have to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: go back to a mixer that's kind of known, tried true,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: and known to not suck. So OK, now I'm back
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: to I'm back to a scarlet, and I'm happy I've
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: had no problems thus far. I checked the recording yesterday
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: of well we recorded while I recorded with Sheep, and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: it was fine and I'm assuming this one's fine too.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: We'll find out if you guys see another message in
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: that it says the groble walking again. Maybe it wasn't.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Maybe it wasn't. I don't know. At that point, I
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, I didn't. I didn't. I didn't, Like
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I said, I didn't find out anything was strange until
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: like my headphones weren't working, and then I went and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: just I was like, well, I can just plug them
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: into the computer. That's weird, and then just everything was
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: jack so or It's all of that into my head this
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: whole time, and I think we just have a really
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: cool podcast that uploads once a week. We're gonna go
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: with B. We're gonna go with B for a little bit,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: or a A for a little bit. But yeah, OK,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: yeah me, No, I'm exhausted. I'm super tired. I got inventory,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: so literally this week, I got inventory coming up. I
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: literally got tomorrow pretty much tomorrow is my last like hurrah, right,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I start inventory Tuesday, Wednesday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and I'm
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: literally leaving my inventory Thursday and I am going to Baltimore.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: So yeah, so I'm literally leaving inventory going to Baltimore. Yeah.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: So It has been a long, like three and a
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: half weeks for me getting ready for inventory and all
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: those items. So I am I okay. No, I'm not okay,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: but I'll make it. I'll get through.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I'm glad. I'm glad that you will survive.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I will survive just as well. And you know, yeah, yeah,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But what are we doing this week?
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: We're doing uniques again.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Yep, talking about Felix. This is the first time we've
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: had a whole episode.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: No, we've I don't know, maybe, but I don't know.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Felix likes to go through and look at uniques and
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: blow money.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: I like, well, I like the window shop, but my
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: money mostly goes to Garrick.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Anyways, you guys all know where my money goes to.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, the Penguins. The episode is not.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: About the.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Should look for a magpen hoarder, about the unique little game.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: It's about more than that.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Don't touch my magpen hoarders there for me, stop it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: It's it's Wizards of the Maze unique episode. Never mind,
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: I can't look for with.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Right, I'm not phoned. I'm not unique in this set
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: to really go after although this Bravos excavator you have
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: put in here that unique art is terrifying.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Where you guys are like hoarding chickens.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: So it's called cats.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: No hoarding chickens because if you hoard chickens, you have
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: too many chickens and they're running around like crazy and
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: it's hard to keep track of them. Today you never
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: heard that. On the day's episode is about uniques in
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: the way of what is a good unique? How do
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: you judge uniques?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: What name is Magpen?
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: All right, it's been good, I'm gonna go to bed.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: It's been a long weekend.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: You just asked me how I engauged my uniques, says,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: name's backpad Horder. That's how I chage my unique. So
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: is that so bad? It's different strategies to this. Some
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: of us just like collecting one card. Some of us
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: like looking for cards for for actual play purposes.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: Some of them I like looking at if they're actually good.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Some of us like to see if they're actually play purposes. Yeah,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I just like I like to collect one unique, and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I like to collect all of them. It's like Pokemon
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: for me, gotta collect them all.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: Like, Yeah, I recognize a sentiment.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that doesn't go along with your with your
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: your strategy of collecting uniquees.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Call now we need we need like a flushed out
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: strategy of like saying things that make a unique good
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: or bad, and like why you would want to have
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: it or play it and in what circumstances and like
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: strategies and how it affects your deck, game plan and
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: stuff like that.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Well, it's also very subjective though, because we're on person.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, everyone has their own kind of opinions on it,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: and that's why we're here to say all of our
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: different opinions and compare and contrast our own strategies.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Well, like, okay, so like, well we all know what
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: you're going to say. You're going to say stats. That's
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: literally all you look at is.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Numbers that's in cost.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: Uh huh, Like.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Right, you're the car could literally say you lose the game.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: You're gonna be like, but it's a six six for two.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it seems good to me.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you all the reasons that it's amazing.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: So let's let's start from the ground up. Uh, there
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: is if you search for it, and I'll link it
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: here into the live audience. A collection of how to
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: judge a unique I was put together by Loki with
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: input from a couple of different sources.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: It says I don't have access to the link.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Interesting, Well, here's my thing. Do you ever really honestly
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: take Maybe you do? Is anybody ever honestly take? Like?
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: What what's the word? I'm looking for recommendations by the
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: by the person who makes the game.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: I was curious about that. Isn't this slight complex of
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: interest there?
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Because no, Loki is the community manager, not the game
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: designer at all. And it's also a culmination of two
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: different posts from like people in the community.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: That so these are actual people in the community, not
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: paid for by by the game, right, Okay. I always
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: get a little nervous. It's like, you know, what's the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: kegs name?
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: This is not key for your magic?
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: So well I know, but like that's still like they're like, hey,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: check out this awesome duck. That's amazing, but like you'll
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: never see it on the pro tour, you know, just me.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: I think a scientific journal, right, Like, although that's going
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: to open a new floodgates, nothink I'm going to leave
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: it there.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: But what do is Loki tell us about uniques? How
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: should I search out for my uniques via Loki.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, oh that's not really the point, but we will
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: go ahead and start from the ground up. This is
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: this is an episode for people that are not as
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: hardcore as maybe some of us. There is probably almost
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: one time per day someone asking in the discord, how
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: do I evaluate uniques?
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: Do I know?
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. So this episode is for you. But
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I also think once we get past the ground level,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: this will be a good episode for everyone on uniques.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: I think I have some interesting strategies and the others
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: might as well. And I did just come off of
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: casting ten hours of the French Qualifier, so have a
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: little information I can share from that. I'm gonna try
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: to run Traced one.
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: Yes, was it the bug spam traced?
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: No, it was not bugs different.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Was it a was it a from anywhere ability trigger activations?
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: It was not any kind of loop whatsoever. It was
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: basically a very classic traced with three Anansi uniques that
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: were mostly just focused on low cost.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Nice So like our third episode when we talked about
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: the best axiom unique being a NANCI, we were maybe correct.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so we'll we'll we'll get to that part.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: But back to the ground level. I will try to
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: go through this as quickly as possible. So what would
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: be considered unplayable uniques would be if they are inferior
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: to their rare counterparts. This is pretty easy to determine.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's a higher cost, it has a lower stats,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: and it has a less effective ability. The other characteristic
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: of an unplayable unique is there there are just too
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: many conditions for it to come online. Maybe there are
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: uniques where instead of just needing one landmark, you need
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: to have two or more. If you are not in
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: ortis and it's like three or more characters you have
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: to have already played before its ability works. That's not
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: gonna do you any good.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: So you have to pay more to get the ability
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: to go off conditions and definitely make it harder to
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: play more to get less.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Yep, yep. So those are basically unplayable uniques, and a
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: lot of those, if you're caring about a dollar value,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: are like five dollars or less. What I would say
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: in addition to this, I have come to adopt the
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: term that more competitive players use freeloader, and them use
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: it a lot. There are your unique characters that are
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: illegal and people hate to hear this, but I fully
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: believe it is absolutely the truth and the way Felix
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: before we started recording was talking about trying to find
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: a data Liss unique. I think data List is illegal
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: character to have for a unique. The reason being that
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: the rare is just so good and so perfect that
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be one, it's going to be really freaking
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: hard to find a unique that's better, and two you
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: just want the rares anyways, Yep.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: I have my own opinion on this kind of legal tactic.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: I kind of agree with it. But in some cases,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: like if you just open one of your own uniques
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: and it happens to to be one of those that
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: you could would consider illegal that you would normally play
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: in every deck that is a very good common or rare,
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: I think it's fine to substitute if like you've opened
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: your own unique that is super cool and a lot
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: better than.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: The common or rare, but.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: I would I wouldn't go like buying on the marketplace
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: for one of those that's illegal.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I have like Ananci is one of those
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: that's just very difficult to substitute, but I have a
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: Lyra unique Nanci that has a two from hand cost,
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: and he pumps himself for your reserve every time you
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: play a zero stat character. So like that one maybe,
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: but sorry, far and far in between.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: You said Nanci and Lyra. Yeah, Lyra, Yeah, I also
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: have an announce and Lyra. That's very good. I'll show you.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: But the only time a Nansi would be illegal in Lyra,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: I think is if you're playing Fenn. I think for
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: a rack, which is probably where you play that one, right.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: I should play it. I played in Fin too because
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: of the two hand cost.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: So it's a two hand cost, but it only gets
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: boosts when you play a zero static character. Correct, okay,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: does it?
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I would never play a zero static character.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Does it get boosts for both reserves? Are just yours? No?
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: It does yours?
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: Fine, I would probably stay.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: With I don't like that terminology.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: What what what would you like to don't?
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know the terminology I want
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: to use. But illegal makes it sound like you cannot
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: play with it.
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: It just is unrecommended for high competitive lay because it's
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: taking away a very good card that you would otherwise have.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: In that law, you can right, it's not you can't
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: like illegal makes it sound like it's a banned You.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Can't technically you can't because you want to hear why
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: it's illegal. Yeah, you already have three of this character.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: You can't have a fourth, or fifth or sixth, so
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: it is illegal. It's an illegal deck.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean I could take out one of my.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: You already want to have three of that cards, and
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: you can't just add it and leave it.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: And terminology to a newer player makes it sound like
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: this is like a band card or a card you're
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: completely unable to use. It's just it's bad. I don't
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: know only the terminology, that's all. It's just it's a
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: semantics thing. Don't worry about it.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, it is subjective as to which cards might
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: be considered illegal in what decks and what the build
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: is like. You can have two very different Bassira builds,
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: and in some of them like alut might be very important,
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: but some Bassira builds might go a different route and
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: still be viable without Auklet, So running a unique ouklet
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: in that kind of deck might work.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Still something like that, And to what Dexter said, there's
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: always exceptions if you don't have very many uniques, or
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: you pull the unique and you really want to use it,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: obviously you know, do what you will. This is if
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: you have, you know, a bunch of uniques where you're
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: looking on the marketplace to pick up some uniques, or
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: you pull the unique and you have no idea how
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: good it is. This this will kind of help you
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: start in the right direction. Creative Chaos had a question
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: about what are illegal uniques in Muna. That would be
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: alo Vera, I think is really the only one I
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: can think of.
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: Bendel harvesters for me East, I really like.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Less.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: You pull a com people the.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Stupid unique Scindal harvester, then you play. But if it's not,
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: if it's not better than the rare, you don't play.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: It is the whole.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I have one of those, but I don't blame Muna.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think spindle harvester uniques can be really good
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: very often, so it's probably a judgment call on those.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: But the Alavira for certain, Muna Druid depending. It's really
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: hard with Muna because the uniques are it's so hard
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: to find one that's really good that you will almost
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: take anything you can get, and a lot of the
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: good Muna uniques. The ability can be.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: For ones that you are Yeah, the ability.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Can be found on anything like there's mass Spinker uniques
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: of almost every character in Muna. So it's pretty hard.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: I will say, I don't I think I have ever
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: seen an alo Vira unique that I would play over
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: the rare.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: So no, all over here, all here elvers are awful.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So moving into I'll try to combine like the
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: playable with the desirable. So going up from unplayable is
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: if you know they are marginally better than the rare.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Maybe they offer different but equal viable options, usable abilities,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: so an ability that is very easy to turn on,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: and then going up from there is, of course if
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: it's a pretty good significant increase from the rare, and
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: usually putting it up into desirable and expensive like thirty
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: dollars plus our effects like they offered card draw, they
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: offer good removal or any powerful effects that are in
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: high demand. We could you were you were mentioning a
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: clue and a Bassira that made it to top eight
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: had a really interesting strategy around the clues. They had
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: one rare clue in their deck and then they had
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: two uniques, but the uniques were both based around card draw.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: I probably I should have found it ahead of time,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: but I wasn't gonna focus too much on the uniques
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: at the qualifier. Basically they were anytime the a clue
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: gets a boost, you draw a card. Basically nice.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's just a really good ability.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think it's possible those uniques were rather
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: cheap because much like Dexter says, they were five from
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: hand and five from reserve. I think those uniques might
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: have been ones that people passed over completely because of
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: the cost, or did not try to sell for like
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: one hundred dollars because of the cost, but they worked
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: out very very well for that player.
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: And also the fact that most basiris are running the
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: rare auclutes, so they're more hesitant to run unique I
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: think maybe played a factor in those uniques being cheap
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: as well.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: I obviously don't know for certain how much they were
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: or if they.
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: Were pulled or what, but yeah, yeah, of course they were.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Both based around the same thing, which is kind of
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: another thing that we'll get into in the next part.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: But from there, evaluating and deciding what uniques are good
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: does change very often. So now that we have a
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: very general guide, which as a super quick recap is
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: basically check how often you want to play the character Already,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: if it's one that you're making, like every deck have
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: in that faction, maybe don't seek out uniques for it.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Is it better than the rare in at least one
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: or two ways, Those are the ones you want to
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: start looking for. But now getting into the more of
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: the more interesting things, how do each of you personally
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: judge uniques either when you pull them or if you're
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: looking to buy one?
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: So first I just look at the stats face value,
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: look at it's from hand mane cost and from reserve
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: mane cost, and then like say one mana should be
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: worth about three total stat points and then just add
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: that up and for a unique, I want it to
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: have at least like three more. And I'm going to
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: count like a resupply as half of a mano cost.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: A draw is one man of cost. A sabotage is
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: like probably like zero point seven of a mano cost.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: A ramp is probably one mano cost. So there's like
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: different abilities are going to like add value to the card,
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: which I just generalize as a mano cost, which then
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: relates to stat value.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: Did that make sense at all. It's kind of cleared
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: the way that I think about it.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: No, I think it's good.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: That makes sense.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: That's how I said, you've always been viewing uniques, and
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: that's generally, I would say, a good rationalized way to.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Look at them.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: It's not how I do it, but I'm a casual
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: player to begin with. So when I look for uniques,
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: the first thing I look for is in their abilities
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: are either from anywhere or if it's an ability that
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: triggers off of something that's easy. Then after that, repeating
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: they are always great. Yeah, but even if it's not
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: repeating three years, if it's a trigger that's very easy
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: to fulfill, even if it's just once, it's fine. Yeah.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: And then after that I look at the The stats
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: is actually the one of the last things I look at.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: But I mean, I'm a casual player to begin with,
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: so I tend to look at the cost next, because
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, if the costs six, it has to be
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: worth it. But I generally look at the abilities first.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: I look at to see they have as from anywhere first,
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: because if it is, then I can use it pretty
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: much in any deck.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Having from anywhere or repeatable triggers are definitely desirable more
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: than just like having a whole bunch of stats. I
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: want to have good abilities on my uniques in addition
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: to having a good stat value, and those abilities that
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: it may have will just like add to the perceived
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: stat value of the card.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of think sadly I've been conditioned because
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: I keep looking for Garrett uniques. It's a it's a
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: joke at this point, but it's conditioned to you. I
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: have ten.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Ten.
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: Well, they all they do all sorts of different things.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: There's like rolling and giving fleeting to stuff and sabotaging
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: and resupplying and giving anchored like I have almost like
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: they go, they do everything. I just basically want to
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: draw us. But anyways, it's it's conditioned to me two
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: devalue uniques that have hand abilities, which I shouldn't be
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: devaluing because I mean, only one character is really risking
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: handability and it's Fin but all everybody else you're gonna
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: end up drawing into it anyways, So I need to
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: change them intality that I have, And it could be
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: something that's happening with a lot of people too, so
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: they might be getting too stuck on a certain character
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: and then their uniques, their unique search gets conditioned to
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: that character that you're constantly playing, which is a problem.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So a good way to put it is from
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: anywhere is basically always going to be better, no doubt.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: But if you're looking only at from anywhere, you're also
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: going to get into the upper cost levels a lot sooner,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: when if you also consider cards that have from hand,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: you might be able to pick some up for a
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: lower cost. Back to the stat part of it, astro
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Nebula in the live chat says they first look at
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: the main effects of the card, then see if the
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: cost is good, and usually prefer uniques with effects and
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: stat bombs aren't the play style. I think I'm kind
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: of the same. I don't even check the stats of
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: a unique. I check the cost and what ability it does,
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: and then if those two match up as well as
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: my budget, I'll buy it. I don't care what the
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: stats are.
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: I mean that's.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: It depends on what the ability and what the cost
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: of it is. Like if you have a six cost
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: character with a good ability that's worth maybe like two
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: or three manna, and then it's got one stats across
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: the board that is negative value for mana versus stats.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: So I would not want that personally, especially since it's
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: a big card. You want to have positive value because
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: if they remove it, then you're just done for Do.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: You think that you put way too much weight on
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: stats alone and you're not evaluating abilities.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: I look at the abilities too, But then if overall
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: it's the ability doesn't make up for the lack of stats,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: then I won't want it. I still look at all
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: of abilities of characters.
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: That isn't the first thing you.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: I Am gonna flat out say it, and it's something
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: you need to realize about your game style, whether it's
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: key Forge or it's this game, Dexter, you are a
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: horror for stats.
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: How about the horror for stats? And key Forge?
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: If it doesn't have the stats you like, you deem
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: it unplayable, Like even the ability could be really really,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: really good, but you're like, ah, but it's this.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: No if it if I have if I find an
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: anchoring unique that has whenever a card inners play, anchor
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: a creature, then that's a really good anchoring ability even
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: and even if it has bad stats, that anchoring ability
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: is worth much more than whatever.
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: Stat value it could have.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: It depends on the unique. It's ability will be we
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: need will need to be very good to make up for.
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: The lack of stats for me.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: All right, well, let's do a little exercise. I'm gonna
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: post a unique and you evaluate it. You evaluate it
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: for me. Go down, Go down.
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: You got a leshie, that's do you want me to
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: read it?
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, all right?
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: Leshi four from hand five from reserve two Grass three
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Mountain three water. Okay, fine, from anywhere if your hand
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: is empty, I gain two boosts. Otherwise I gain one boost.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: From anywhere. If you control three or more characters, target
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: character gains two boosts. And then from reserve you may
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: put a card from your hand in reserve. If you do,
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: I gain one boost per expedition. In grass, this is great.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: This is a great card. I don't like the first
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: ability just because your hand. You don't want your hand
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: to be empty. But even if it isn't, you're still
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: gaining one boost, so that's fine. In Muna, you often
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: will control at least three or more characters, so you're
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: getting those boosts, and then from reserve you're probably getting
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: two to three more boosts from that Grass for only
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: like a minus minus point five mana from having to
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: put a card from hand in reserve. So from hand
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: you're getting paying four mana and you're probably getting three
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: boosts on that character, so it is overstatted, and then
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: from reserve it is even more overstatted because you're getting
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: the additional boosts from it being in grass. So I
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: consider the boost in its stat consideration.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was funny though to listen to you read it,
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: because you went two three three.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Nah, exactly immediately. I don't know.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm glad you like it took everything.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: It took everything you had in you four five two
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: three three. You like it hurt like you were. You
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: heard it in your voice, you like hurt your soul. Right,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: you're like not good a little bit, and then you
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: read though, all right, well the boost make up for it.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: It's good. Now. I don't know if it's great. It's good,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: but like like this card's great, like you over compensated
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: there at the end, like prove me wrong.
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: Well, it's it's very playable.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: I would not consider it like super solid ten dollars
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: card here, maybe fifteen. I would put it in a
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: moona deck. It's it's very good solid.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, any any unique not spectacular that you'll hear me
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: talk about or I'm using I unless I pulled it,
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: I can guarantee is twelve dollars or less. So that
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: less she was maybe ten dollars. Yeah, my loki was
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: six dollars. We can maybe talk about my loki uh
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: in a little bit.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say this, less she feel it was
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: like a ten dollars card.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: It's yeah, it's I think it was a great deal
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: for ten dollars. I won't say that it's like a
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: fifty dollars card.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: But I feel like you paid a fair price.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: People put way worse uniques for way more.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: So, well, this is this is also a game where
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: you know there are some newer people out there who
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: are like uniques are great, and I pulled a unique
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: and that means it's the best thing ever, not really
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: realizing that there are bad versions of this card that
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: have the gold symbol above their name and not all
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: of them are worth much of anything.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Yeap, wookie, how do you judge uniques?
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: I told a lot. I don't want to get into
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: how I judge.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Uniques, whether or not it's magpen hoarder.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Whether or not it's magpen horder. If it's magpen horder,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: great unique, No I n I well, if rolling dice
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: is my thing, it's like my kryptonite. I just have
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: of a what do you call that? Should we say
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: kink for those type of for those type of like
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: magpen Horder, I don't know what it was. Came out
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: and trials by Frost, fell in love with it. Don't
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: know why. It's just my jams. So now I try
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: to connect. Now I try to collect them.
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: All.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, do you realize.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: You read the story from it and everything and all?
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah? We did because I love them.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Do you realize you have people offering to send you
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: magpen hoarders in the YouTube comments?
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: I had no idea. Please send them to me a discord, discord.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: I sent you a screenshot, but they were offering you
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: one that wasn't in Lyra.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: No I accept. I am not. I accept all magpen
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: orders here. I'm trying to them. It's like Pokemon. I
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: need all of them I have, I've I have quite
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: a few. Now I don't have quite as many magpen
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: how quarters as Garrick's. You are you are winning in
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: that situation. I don't know because I'm also bad at
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: scanning my cards in and I'm not like you guys,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: the the uh, the digital version isn't enough for me.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: I need the physical version. So I have I have
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I have seven one, two, three, four, five, six, and
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: then I have that one. I have seven magpen horder uniques,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: all in Lyra.
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: How do you get all of those?
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Well? People message and then they're like, I have this
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: bagpen hoarder and then you go, what do you want
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: for it? And they're like, I'll take this for it.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: And I'll be like, all right, here's my address, what's
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: your PayPal?
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: And then they still a funky address that doesn't exist.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: It's very old. I'm very old school dexter. I have
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: not perused the marketplace yet to any degree of any
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: sort really. I mean I've I've junked around on it,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: but I'm not really like with all seriousness gone in
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: there and decided to like I'm going to look for
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: X y Z uniques. Yet once I decide to build
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: my Yazmir deck like and actually go ham with it,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: then I probably will one of these days. But other
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: than that, like, I mean, it's got to be to
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: the deck, right that will it further? Will it further?
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: What your deck is trying to do? Less? She is
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: great and it really it really does work in a
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: moon a deck, right, But like this same unique in
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: a different and a different action probably doesn't work. Right.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: It's just it's it's soup. This this game is so
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: it depends. It's not even funny. That's and that's I
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: don't think.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: It is probably the most resistant to playing some big
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: characters because they got the spindles.
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: But here's lower.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: But like move that into move that into move that
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: into Lyra. The cards now junk. Do you know what
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: I mean?
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: Say junk?
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: It's not okay. It is not nearly as playable as
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: the Muna one is.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: Yes, it would be better in Moa than it would
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: move it.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Move it in their probably not as put probably not
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: nearly as.
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: Terrible, right, So.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: It would go balls to the walls and artists, maybe
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: even in Broughton, Probably not in Bravos. Maybe in Bravos.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: I give it a fifty to fifty shot. I guess
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: it depends again now here it is like if it's
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: in Bravos, it all depends your deck construction. Who's your hero,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: what you're trying to do right, So it's it's this
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: game is such a it depends. It's like it is hard.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: It is hard to like wrangle down what makes a
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: good unique.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Because why we're here to hopefully help.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Even then, like we could even be like this is
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: how you like, I feel kind of almost bad about
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: it because even then, even if we're like, this is
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: how you determine a good unique, it's very it depends, right,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: There's there's no immediate answer, right, I think like the
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: biggest thing was is what we just said in the beginning, right,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: If it is inherently worse than the rare or you know,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: lesser versions, it's bad. So it's way easier to tell
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: you what's bad versus what's good.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get into uh here in a second. Some
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: other strategies that I think are easier to do than
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: seeking out like the very classic high power unique. I
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: think a lot of people don't spend the time to
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: do stuff like this, but the people that were in
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: the top of the recent qualifier definitely do this for
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: some part. So I think it's a good strategy to
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: at least consider what with your conversation previously, does everyone
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: here have a unique character that they have multiple of
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: on purpose next or might not, but I definitely do well.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean obviously me and I feel like it's
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: just talked about ours on.
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: My uniques that I own, if you had one, you
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: would know of.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: I own sixty four and none of them are multiple. Well,
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: I have two snow Maidens, but that's not on purpose.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: All the ones that I have multiples on we're just playing.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Have multiples for fun, like you seek these out yep.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: So mine is Arrows. I think I have four or
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Arrows uniques. It is one of my favorite cards, and
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: some of the uniques are very fun. But another little
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: experiment here, Astro sent us a foundry mechanic to look at.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: So this is one from hand to from reserve zero
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: one two on the stats and from when played from reserve,
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: I gained one boost and then it has the next permanent.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: You play this afternoon costs one less. This is a
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: illegal unique. The normal foundry mechanic, whether it's common or rare,
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: is a lot better, and you probably want those instead.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: That being said, disclaimer as usual. Yeah, this is a
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: unique you pulled and you don't have much else. It's
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: definitely playable, but if we are evaluating it, of whether
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: or not you should consider it, I would say no, Yeah.
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: It's like that foundry mechanic. I saw a well back
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: that has hooked attached to it. Yeah, one hand like
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: that was busted.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah that would that would be interesting. But for the
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: for the next part, I was gonna have us talk
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: about unique strategies that we use for uniques. Haha, he
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: he ha ha huh. I think for me it's always
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: going to come down to dollar value because I am
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: I think never going to spend fifty dollars or more
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: on a unique unless I, like sell one of my uniques.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to play for one hundred plus dollars.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: I don't see myself doing that.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: You would never ever consider it.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think so so far, like you'd.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Never be like, oh, man, I think I'd really like
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: to get into the competitive sphere. I know you love
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: the judging sphere, but let's just say, like, man, I'd
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: really like to give the competitive sphere.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: I do not love the judging sphere. Oh you do not, No,
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: I why are you so.
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: Obsessed with it?
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: I judge out of necessity and because there are not
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: as many judges and I judge for a job. But
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: if you were to give me the option and present
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: me the same pay for either, I would pick casting
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent of the time.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: M Oh, I love casting too. Casting is fun. I
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: love doing casting.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: I am not the best competitive place because I like
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: playing off meta, but I do compete very, very frequently.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: You forget that those off meta players are the ones
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: that are the fucking trickiest. I'm actually you off meta
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: players that ruin somebody's day. Yeah, yep, I think because
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: all the meta players don't know how to handle it.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: I have beaten free Loader more than anyone else. I
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: am his cryptonite.
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: So nice.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: It's because it's the off metap I'm telling you something
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: about you off meta players. Like it's just every game
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: has them, and at every tournament you will ruin someone's
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: day because it's just that off meta is just like
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: they either they don't know how to handle it, so
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: it becomes very.
• 43:47
  Speaker 5: Difficult, doesn't have a tech for it.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: Maybe well that too, but like it's just like it
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: just doesn't It's hard to handle off meta because the
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: decks are built towards meta, right, So yeah, the deck
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: not being able to handle it's very a very real thing,
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: because it's like, well, my deck is built to deal
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: with all the all the other bs that's in the meta,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: and then you get this off metal player who's like,
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: just like I play for funzis they go like six
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: and one and I hate those players.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Yep, that that that is me. Yeah, I don't think
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: there is any situation where I would spend that amount
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: of money. I don't even know if I could think
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: of a type of unique off the top of my head,
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: I would spend that much. The other thing is is
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: I have like diagnosed ADHD, and that definitely comes across
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: in how I play games. Muna is by far my
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: favorite faction thematically and what I've built the most of.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: But if you like, if someone were to try to
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: scout my recent games to get a handle on me
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: on BGA, it'd also be fucking confused because you don't.
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: Play style isn't consistent.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be like a roc a roc Novenka tsia.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: Uh and then if you look really hard, there's a
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: CIGGI thrown in there.
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: Uh huh. So it's it's just if we hated the bureaucrats.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: I do, I do. I just want to beat Astro
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: because uh he he uh thought he was hot stuff
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: eating me when I was playing around on a RAC,
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: so I switched to the scene like I have nice.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think if I were to spend that
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: much money on a Unique, I would not play it
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: for months at a time.
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: So yeah, for me, I think I'm similar to you
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: and Astro that I would very rarely spend more than
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: like ten dollars on a Unique. However, if I I
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: was specifically like preparing really hard for like a big tournament,
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: and I needed like three solid uniques to make my
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: deck really competitive, I would be willing to spend up
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: to like maybe fifty per unique and get three solid
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: uniques off the marketplace and get those printed out so
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: that I could have something solid and ready to go
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: for a big tournament if I'm really like grinding and
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: preparing for it. But I'm not really in that mindset
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: for this game right now.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: I am in the camp of never say never right now.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: With how casual I am, I could never see me
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: spending that kind of money. Why yeah, give me a
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: little bit of reason. I might. I might, I might.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: You know, if I decide one day that I'm I'm
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: coming over full time, I'll never say never.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: I mean I've spent dumber money on keyfod.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: So if yes, ever a world where I'm doing this
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: full time and it's literally my job to do it,
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: I think that's a different scenario. But as of now,
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: I just don't see myself spending fifty dollars or more.
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: I don't see my spell self spending thirty dollars or
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: more on a unique. I also really like just the
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: search and pulling them and you know, playing them when
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: I do. So to to go back around to the
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: unique strategy, my first and foremost is always finding a
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: good deal, and then I like to find just uniques.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: That ah, you're a thriftun Yeah, that's that's what you are.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: There's a title for people like you poor well beyond that.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: But I also just really like building decks around uniques,
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: and I think I'll just run through it really quickly.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: I already mentioned the Basira. At the qualifier that built
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: around card draw with occludes, there was Earleia who had
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: entirely unique lokis and made it to top thirty two
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: with Tasia. That's pretty cool. Be traced that one had
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: three unique a Nan seas. What else did we see
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: a lot of the funaces have had pretty typical uniques,
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: But I would honestly say the afaunas in top four,
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: at least one of them, from what I was tracking,
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: didn't have like one thousand dollars worth of a funas uniques.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: They were very, uh, you know, mid range of funas uniques.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: So those are the strategies I use. So if I
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: were to like tell you how to start searching for
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: a unique on the marketplace, I would say, figure out
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: what your budget is, because unless you have endless amounts
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: of money, you're gonna have a budget. Yeah, so we're
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: by price ascending and try to know like where your
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: budget is and then stop once you hit it.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: Look, figure out what your budget is. Add two hundred dollars,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Eat ramen for a week?
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: Shit, No, no.
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: No, maybe not just eat water for a week.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Eat water for a week. Yeah yeah, eat water.
• 49:30
  Speaker 6: He's like, spend one hundred and fifty dollars on the card.
• 49:32
  Speaker 6: Is like, I'll just eat water for the next week.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: Yep. Pick pick specific characters that typically have abilities that
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: you're interested in. If you play long enough, you'll realize
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: that certain characters are the ones that have the abilities
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: you want. Loki is the character that's going to cause
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: someone to discard their hand and reserve and you know, refresh.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: A clue is going to have things around boosts, maybe exhausting.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Now we've seen maybe drawing cards. So if you narrow
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: it down, you're already in a faction, a character, a budget,
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: and then I usually go mana cost next, And if
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: there's like a nine mana cost Loki, I probably don't
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: even spend the time looking at it if I'm you know,
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: because even if it's a good Loki, I don't think
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: I want a nine man a Loki, you know what
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: I'm saying.
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: It also had to realize that only three cards in
• 50:32
  Speaker 6: your deck are unique too.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is That is another thing, so don't go
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: too crazy. But I hear that Loco Nico of Hero's
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: Guide tw us Gartha pulled a Ala Vira, which we
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: just mentioned is an illegal unique in Muna. I honestly
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: don't know in Lyra for certain, I haven't looked at enough.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: But if he wants to post the unique, we can
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: take a look at it and see what we think.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: Dexter mentions Tom's unique search tool. If you know that
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: it exists, definitely use it. If you are in the
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: Altered Corner discord, I'll send you the link. Otherwise the
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: link is a little too weird to say, and it's
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: also in early testing. So yeah. Yeah, But if you
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: want a unique search tool, one exists. Another developer is
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: making a second one. You can find it or dm
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: me or something and I'll send you the link.
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: So and searching by price, sending what cost you're looking
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: for and what card you might be looking for is
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: definitely a good way to search for uniques.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: What about anyone else? Are there any strategies there anything
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: you use when looking at uniques?
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: Mmm?
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: Just a lot of abilities.
• 52:07
  Speaker 6: I have the most fun looking for uniques that the
• 52:11
  Speaker 6: common or rare either have no abilities at all or
• 52:16
  Speaker 6: are just not good to begin with, because then the
• 52:20
  Speaker 6: unique can only just get better, like Kapa for example.
• 52:27
  Speaker 6: Like if you look at the Kapa and Lyra has
• 52:29
  Speaker 6: no abilities at all, so I mean the unique is
• 52:33
  Speaker 6: just going to be most of the time.
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: Just better overall. Yeah, that is true.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: I think there's also one moon a character that is
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: also has no abilities on it.
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: I don't remember what it's called now, but.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Mogli is one and unique.
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, mog for costa.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: I have a pretty good Mogli Unique. That's what I
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: used in my Tomorrow. It always gets comments when I
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: play it. I went up against someone in arena today
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: that had one that was way better that they said.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: They just told today. It was nice. I think it
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: was from hand or might have been from anywhere. Draw
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: a card and then it had like if I have
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: a boost, whenever a character joins your expedition, give another
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: character a boost.
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh my gosh, for how much cost
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: it was like two or three that's ridiculous.
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was cracked. And then they had
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: a Chiron that had the same ability when a character
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: joins your expedition give another character.
• 53:48
  Speaker 5: I actually seen some people with dull Munadex like that.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I absolutely misplayed my Leshie and lost the game,
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: but it would have been hard either way. I've to
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: backtrack a bunch when Wiki, when Wiki, when Wookie said
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: he loves rolling dice, I put my Navenka deck in
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: our podcast DM. I think you'd have a lot of
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: fun with this deck. So there's there's one that you
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: can look to build.
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: I think your niece sucks. Swap that out for something better.
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: You I think you're I think I do use something better.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: Let me take a look though. I'll get back to
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: you on that. All right, we have this Allo, Okay,
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: so it's a three from hand, three from reserve, three
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: one four from anywhere if you control two or more
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: plants other than me target character in your other expedition
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: games two boosts. Okay, that's bad. At noon, each player
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: puts your top part of their deck in their manizone.
• 54:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, nope, pass terrible as not good.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: That's illegal if you hold it, as we said, and
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: you're not paying money for it. It's definitely playable, but
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: it does not do what Alo is made to do,
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: and at noon will always be worse than at dusk,
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: especially if it doesn't self occur.
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: I think the only possible case that this could be
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: even slightly considerable to put in a deck is if
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: you're going with heavy ramp moon a deck where you
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: get like hydro Senas and other big cards out early.
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: And that's really not.
• 55:38
  Speaker 5: That's never been viable for Moona really.
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, if you want to find some really
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: crazy ramp nick, you should look for Aja uniques. You
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: would be surprised on the amount of uniques that ramp too,
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: and multiple times they ramp too. So yeah, I would
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: not play this unless I had to, or unless I
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: had a deck that was playing zero allos for some reason,
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: which I have done before. But yeah, the fact that
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: it can't anchor itself is really rough. And then it's
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: two or more plants, not two or more characters. It
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: has to be plants, so kind of rough there as well. Yeah,
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: I think that takes us through kind of most of
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: the unique thing. But the last question before we get
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: to the fun little game is what uniques do you
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: think are slept on? Slipt on?
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: Hmmm, I don't know if uniques get slept on in
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: this game?
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: Am I the only one that can answer this question?
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: I think? So, well, what would you consider an.
• 57:02
  Speaker 5: I don't have a good answer.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: I don't have a good one. I don't think a
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: lot of uniques can slept on. I think I think
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: everyone tries to put uniques to use, Like we just
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: saw a couple and it's like, yeah, these.
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: High cost ones obviously are going to get more slept
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: on because people are just like high cost bad. So
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: I know you probably think arrows is slept On. No
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: other people do this too, Wookie, it was not me first.
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: Other people did this too.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: Well, you picked up a bad habit from someone else.
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: Dexter does the thing of where he doesn't look at
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: it if it costs more than four and also if
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: it doesn't have very good stats.
• 57:41
  Speaker 5: I've I've changed it up a little bit.
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: These this newest set has introduced some high cost characters
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: that are uniques.
• 57:48
  Speaker 5: That are still very playable.
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So my theory on slept On uniques is a
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: big part of it is high mana uniques. You can
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: usually get pretty dang good ones or for pretty cheap
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: low price because people value low curve so much. I think.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: The other thing that people don't think of as often
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: is if a card is just not playable at common
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: or rare, that's like the perfect card to look for
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: uniques of.
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: Earlier.
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you might. You might find like a gem that
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: just no one's looking at because it's not a character
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: people see before the qualifier we had this weekend, Loki
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: was in a really weird spot, I think because it
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: was Loki and there were some really cool ones from
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: the Kickstarter and it had Altar and YadA Ya to.
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: Some of them were priced really high, but there were
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: a lot that you could get for really cheap. And
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: as soon as the Hunger came out, and I said
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: this like four times during the broadcast this weekend, as
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: soon as the Hunger came out, I bought a Loki
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: Unique for five dollars. And I'll tell you what mine
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: is here in a second.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: Why don't you tell us what years are? Years is? Now?
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: Got it?
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: You got to hear the whole story.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: First, we tell the story.
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: Loki uniques super you know, undervalued for a while. Hunger
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: came out, I jumped on it. Over the weekend, there
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: was a Novenka that made it into Top four that
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: was based around Loki uniques, and then Earleia played a
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: Tajia deck that was based around Loki uniques. Now all
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: all of the Loki uniques for under like one hundred
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: dollars have sold.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: Uh well.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: Wow, I will say that my Loki is not the
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: one that people usually put for like one hundred plus dollars.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: But remind remind you your own brain, because I started
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: that drammatically weird. I got this for five dollars and
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: it is, in my opinion, very good for five dollars.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, I think one hundred dollars. I don't know where
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: I heard that from, but my brain is going off,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: but yeah, one hundred five dollars.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: Yep. So it is a seven from hand, seven from reserve,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: six three three, and it has When I leave the
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: expedition zone, each player discards their hand and their reserve,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: then draws three cards. Second ability is kind of whatever,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: but it's good if if I get it to go.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: When another character joins your expeditions, you may put a
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: card from your hand in reserve. If you do up
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: to two target characters each game, one boost. So the
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: reason text, yeah, the reason that I also really like
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: this one is because when I leave expedition is always
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: going to be like three times better than when I
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: go from expedition to reserve. This basically says Vin's voice,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: like I have Devin Forrest when I'm played in Tasia.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: If you want to win against me in Forest, you
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: have to remove it, and you're going to lose your
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: reserve in hand. So it does not get removed very often,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: and then at the end of the day it's played,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: the ability happens.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: I like my Loki better because it's on play from anywhere,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: so it happens immediately and there's no delay.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, from anywhere. If you have a from anywhere that
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: is not nine manna, that's probably a two hundred dollars
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: plus unique.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 5: I think mine is six, but it's not that good.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: If it's does it do the normal loki though?
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: I think it only discards reserve, or it only discards
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: one of them.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 5: It's not both reserve and hand.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 6: I think it's either hand or reserve for both, I
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 6: mean hand or hand and reserve.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: It still might be one you can sell for one
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: hundred dollars now, but from anywhere discard.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: I have it listed on the marketplace at twenty and
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: no one's fighting, So.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it has to have both or it's not really.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 5: Oh wait, no, I lied. Mine's not what I thought
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 5: it was. Never mind.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so yours is similar to mine, but not
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: as good. I would not be surprised if it gets
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: bought for twenty dollars here soon though.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: All right, we.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: Missed some of the live chat. I don't think we
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: can get to all of it.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: No, let's go into the Patreon question for this week.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: Up in here, we were were got. We've gone a
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: little bit over the hour. Let's let's get to the
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: Patreon uniques. Felix, what did you ask this week from Patreon?
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 6: Actually did not ask anything.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know about we uh, we can move our
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: little unique game to next episode. Yeah, we'll save it
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: in the notes. The Patreon question is if they were
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: going to add a superhero group MCU, DC, Dragon Ball Team,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: and t et cetera, which group of heroes would you
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: want to see in here and under which.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: Faction dragon Ball Z.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 5: I've never watched any of the dragon ball Z stuff.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: Well, get good kid, d.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 4: H hmm.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: So my philosophy, as always with altered, is only put
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: it in altered if it is in the way that
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: they do like legends and myth and things like that,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: and then you know they make it the altered way.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: So I honestly don't care about any of these specifically
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: being in altered And I don't know if I don't
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: know if there's even one.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: Aren't they just the new legends and myths?
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's like.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: I know, but like two hundred years from now, they're
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: gonna be like, oh, the myth of God.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, because because we don't actually believe that Goku is
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: a god that exists, and you know, the ancient days
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: they actually thought that like Foth and Quetzelkotal were like
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: mythical beings.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but we I mean, that's a little bit thing.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: That's what we think now. But those could have just
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: been stories back then. I mean, we don't really know.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: You weren't a were you there?
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 5: No?
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 3: But I've had a lot of history lessons where they're
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: like they thought that they were gods to this and
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: that and the other.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: But did you know that the Aztecs didn't really call
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: themselves as texts.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 5: Nope, didn't know that at all.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're called they called themselves Mexicans, but like it
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: got too confusing with Mexico, so historians just changed it
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: to astexts because they got tired of trying to make
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: the distinction. So now the blur between reality, myth and
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: fact is like nobody knows what's what's real, what's reality,
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: what's myth, what's fact, what's what's not. You don't know
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: that they believed that. You just know that they this
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: is a thing that that you think story of it,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: But this just could have been a television show they
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: watched way back when, and all of a sudden, we're like, yeah,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: they thought they were real.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say technically the mc U already exists
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: in altered with and Loki and Loki a word Loki.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: And what's the one that's actually a card because Thor
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: is not actually a card yet.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: No, but.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 5: Tim dol No, it's literally as a card, and it's
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 5: also in the MCU.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: But this is true.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: It's literally the card that Thor is on his foot.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: It's a oh.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: We went through this on a show and I don't
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: remember what it is.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 5: That's not that's not mc U.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: It's in Bravos and it's like never played anyways.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 5: Achilles, but that's not Achilles.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: The MCU.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Hercules, not Hercules.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 5: Is in the mc winners Achilles and Hercules and the mc.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: For like the sixties, they have all those gods. I
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: guess a lot of those gods are in there. They
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: took a lot of Greek mythology. And that's that's the thing.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: It's real. He's right, yep.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 5: Dracula is also this is the only answer that we
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 5: have dragons and already.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: I love dragon ball Z anything anytime ever, dragon ball Z.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: And the other thing is I just heard that Magic's
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: about to release a Star Trek Secret Layer, and now
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking about going and playing Magic, okay, because I
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: love Star Trek.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I would have the might have been Avatar the
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 6: Last Airbender and that lore.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: That it's in that show.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's cool.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: M hmm. That's probably the one that the most lore accurate, right,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: the one that's easilyest, most easily adaptable. All right, what
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: do we got? We gotta still to go through. Call
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: what's what's shaken?
