• 5:23
  Speaker 2: We'll do that one eventually. Who might often do that
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: one on a Patreon episode? I'm not sure.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: That episode is definitely a pants optional.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: And you wonder what we do with the car right down?
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: So Thursday night, we gathered the folks up, got everybody
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: piled all in the walk mobile, starting with me, then
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: grabbing a danger boat. I don't even remember who we
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: grabbed after that? Who grabbed after that? Perfect? And then
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: finally a pete and a sheep had all the way
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: down in a six hour tour of Saint Louis.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: It was a lot longer than six hours picking everyone up.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean that was I think it was
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: from Pete onward. It was six on and Pete and
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Sheep onward six right.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: No, it was actually five point fifty from our spot,
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: but with all the stops, it came to seven on
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: the way down and it came to eight eight and
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: a half on the way back.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: That's because you guys had to have roadside beers.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: There were some roadside beers.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: You have to.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I think Sheep was drunk by the time we got
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: to Panda Express, but we'll talk about that on the
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: way back. Driving in, we really didn't do anything special.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: We just ended up going to it. We went to culvers.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: We went to culvers and we were focused. It was great,
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: clovers was quick in and out. No, we were like
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: literally there were no side stops. Nobody gon and taken
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: a wizard break and uh oh no, I.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Had to take a wizard break, but Sheep wouldn't let me.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Nope.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: But was about thirty minutes out from the Airbnb. I'm like,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I got a pee and Sheep's like, no, or alled
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: it and I did all the way.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: I made the right decision.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Yep, and then I immediately peed when we got there
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: and it hurt. Pretty cool Airbnb though, lots of rooms,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: lots of space, nice and open somewhere.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know where. We really were in.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Saint Louis, a couple of minutes from downtown. Yeah, few,
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: the northwest side.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: It was a beautiful area close to the park that
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: you could go run in the morning. There were some
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: local shops too, so it's a neat area.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: So I else to say about day one that that
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: I'm missing?
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: No, we made it. It was great, good.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: It was long.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Some for some reasons. Ewok's seats in the back are
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: really low to the ground.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I'm curious how bed mates were chosen. I think I
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: just grabbed perfect and said, hey, you're with me.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I think it was at random. No, didn't we been
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: a wheel?
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: There was a wheel.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Now wait, I'll wait, I'll try to avoid you, Wookie.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: That was that was not the game was playing who
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: has to have the chains?
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: So we told you you wouldn't feel bad, so you
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: get well.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: So we actually early yeah, early on it was Dexter
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: and Dexter adamantly fought not to have you, and I
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: think that was really the difference on the weekend, to
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: be honest. So instead Dexter ended up with me. He
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: had snuggle time and man, that's.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Just for some reason.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Nope. And then danger Boat went ahead and said, hey,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: my dad really snores, so I'm totally fine with this.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: And we're like, really, are you sure, and he's like, yeah,
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: not a problem at all. And he took it like
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: a chant man. He did not complain. I mean you
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: were because yeah, you were in random other spots throughout
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: the house.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: But it works where I fit. I sits, that's kind
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: of that couch was mighty comfortable. Again, where you sits
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: is where you sleep. That that's really it is.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Where I will be passing out eventually.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: What do you mean within ten minutes on the ride
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: home and you were passed out again there too and
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: up in the front seat boom.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Right, Well that's why me and Pete switched.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: That's why I had to stop on the way back anyway, Friday.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: It was a good switched.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: We picked bed mates. It worked out well for Dexter.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: He did not end up with you. He got sleep
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: and he rocked it.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: So, uh, starting out Friday, we ended up having we
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: started our sealed We did get breakfast. Oh yeah, where
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: did we go? What was that place called breakfast?
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: Expensive place, very very half dollars, mini juices. Dras would
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: have been proud of us. Dras would have proud. I
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: still would like to know.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: How much of that mini glass of chocolate milk costs Perfect.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: We also found out that chalk that that mister Perfect
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: is a proverbial child. What did he order? He ordered
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: chocolate milk? I figure what else he ordered that. I'm
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: just like, yep, you're a child. I think you were
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: in a plain Hamburger at the one restaurant too. It's
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: just like you are like four. But we start off
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: to a sealed as all good vault tours do boys?
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: How are your pods playable? Okay, playable, Pete, Mine were playable.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: I went two and one. I lost to Dexter. I
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: didn't know he was going to win the whole thing.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: How God spoilers?
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: God?
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, I mean yeah, I looked at my I think
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: my pods were going to make the cut, and looking back,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: maybe they were better than two and one.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: You should have wrote it out. I didn't know you
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: were two and one. You should have wrote it out.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: She really wanted to play that Steel Survival.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Pods extra poopy. Oh yeah, tell us about the three
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: decks you pulled.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I opened three decks and they all had or
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: Boris Mars and unfathomable. All three decks.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Hey, you had choices, only twenty.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: Seven of them, right, so it made my life easy.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: How would I like to lose? U? Then I went
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: and won some games, but then I played danger Boat,
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: who got some decent cards, and he like three woned
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: me with a pity key and made me feel real pathetic.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: And then I too dropped at what could have been
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: two one to go play something else because I knew
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: I wasn't making it.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Did you end up in Sealed Survival too? Yeah, okay,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I can't believe I ended up. I went two and
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: two and went straight to Sealed Survival, which wasn't. Well,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: my decks, my my pods were poo pooh.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: I started, Yeah, I started too. Oh. I beat Captain
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: Crispy and then Flaming Hobo. Krispy was pretty close Flaming
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Hobo's like, I don't know how I got here, and yeah,
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: I three ont um. It was I agree his deck
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: was not there, and sometimes you have it, sometimes you don't.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: I saw my decks Unfathomable Geistoid immediately jumped out at me,
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: and then I went Skyborne, And even though Skybourne still
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: shows up as not my top pod, I really liked it.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Had triple jump start, double cold ropes and against the flags,
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: and so I really leaned into the being overwhelmed and
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: then it just allowed me to do fun Shenanigan things.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: But with Skyborne geist Doing and Unfathomable and not really
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: having more than one against all lights, I had very
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: very little c and I had very very very little
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: amber control.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: I can't tell if I can't tell if Sea eludes
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: you or it's just like your hyper focused on it.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: I think that I think that creature control in this
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: set is really critical.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: It's pretty important.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I honestly, I'm trying to think of what.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I mean I I ended up. I originally started out
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: with a fish, Geistoid or Boros deck to then decide
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: to you know, these or these dragons are really bad
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: because my other pods were also Guy two. I had
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: four Geist, two geyst Toy, two Fish. I had one
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: really bad Shadows pod that literally had none of the
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: shadows cards you want in them?
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, I will, I will tap you there. I did
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: have a shadows pod, but it had double routine job
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: and caught you napping and then everything else. It had
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: triple grammy taps.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that that's where.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Like the disco ball grenade that like doesn't do anything.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I can't even remember.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Like I think I had a whistle was a whistling darts,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: whistling stars whatever it is deal damage to three creatures,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: gaining number, gaining number for each stars.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the throwing stars whatever.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: There's another one that deals one damage to all creatures.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: I get those two confused a lot. Just nothing in there.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: And I you know, here's here's where I got nervous.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Is I'm making my deck right, And I'm like, oh,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: he walks always talking about c I better have some
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: like some kind of critters in this deck because I
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: didn't have any in the other two. And I'm like,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I should put something with creatures in it, you know,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: just maybe maybe have a few big, big meaties floating around,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: and that's what I want. Ora Boros, Boy, was that
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: a mistake.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: If you don't have play effects, you're basically trying to
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: outboard and win off of that, and there's just a
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: number of creatures. Yeah, there's just a number of creatures
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: in Ora Boros that you're not going to do it.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: I hate to say this, but Ria bebby Gress is
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: just like thank you, no, thank you, I appreciate it.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: There's Yeah, there's just a couple of items like that.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: I will say that in game number three against speed Pace,
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: that changed out my pod because my only see that
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: had in all nine pods was Viscounts of Harry's Like,
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: while you're yellow key to sporged each enemy creature, under
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: play stunned and play if your yellow key is forged,
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: stun each enteman creature.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: True story. I lost that game, So that was not
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: the call one. It was buried and it came very late.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: It did actually do damage when it hit because I
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: could I had forged the yellow key, but it's just
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: it's too slow and not good enough. So I lost
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: speed Pace. Round four, I placed domb Fam, I went
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: back to the pods I knew, and then round five
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: I played Mickey and I lost. I lost pretty hard
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: first Miggy, So now you're in that kind of the three.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: It's a three to two slot, so you're really needing
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: to win and hope to hope to fall in as
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: one of a four two. Yeah. For for MIGGI, he
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: had returned to Rubble when Thing Thing from the Deep
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: came out, so that was really my amber control. Super
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: cool plays in that I could actually play my Thing
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: from the Deep and then be able to use it
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: with jump start on a Skyborn turn in a future turn.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: So there was some odd things that people missed. Think
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: from the Deep actually was multiple games, has sold six
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: and stoled eight, so it did work. It did work
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: even in the top eight game when I faced off
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: against Dexter. But if you go ahead and blow it
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: up right away, which is what Meggie did, that that
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: was real sad. So I don't know it was fun.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: I did mess up. You said you talked about pyrotechnic. Uh,
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: Miggy was the first person to actually pull off pyrotechnic
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: against me. So shout out to am mostly because as
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: I was an idiot and uh I had mage Hypyrotechnicama
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: met spontaneous hammer smythe which I stole in the AMET,
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: so I double them a met and instead of just
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: putting it over on the other side, I put my met,
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: then I went ahead and spontaneous awakened his hammer smithe,
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: and then put the other mamet. Locating your creatures actually
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: matters in this game, so that was fun. But it
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: made me laugh, like, all right, how often is that
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: going to happen? That you're gonna have it stole against you?
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: In Sealed once and then in draft twice. You can
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: lean in with some of the damage pips and capture
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: pips to help for that.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: But it was pretty cool, got it?
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: So I faced off Camra Bubba in the last in
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: round six then and I actually took down three zero.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: And I don't know.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: About you guys, did you what did you think of
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: the new app that was being used?
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: M go ahead, Pete, what'd you think?
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Oh? I just think it's awesome. You could click on
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: your opponent and it takes it right to the vault
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: to see the deck and it looks nice old after
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: that too.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, you can go to the master vault
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: by clicking on their deck on the in the app.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: What I liked about it is that I could actually
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: click on the event and because we are not playing
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: too el but we're playing Swiss. As I finished and
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: I was four to two. Now after round six, there
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: were a couple of us that were actually cheering on
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: So in the group of four that I was by,
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: both myself and someone else were actually cheering on Miggy
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: for him to be able to win. So if Miggy wins,
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: then our strength of schedule is better. He finishes at
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: one of the five one spots and that was better
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: for us. True story, he did not win, and so
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: we saw that kind of go down, but you could
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: actually see where the ranking was. So as we were
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: finishing that round six, there was probably eight to ten
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: of us that were all around kind of watching as
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: our names went up or down, and we could see
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: who was still left and playing and how that was scanning.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: So I actually really liked that aspect for play style.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: You had a reason to be able to cheer on
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: someone else who may not have been a teammate or
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: just a random person that was there. But it was
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: pretty cool to actually see it in live time and
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: you're like, oh, where am I going to go? Am
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: I up? Am I down?
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: Okay, we're going, well, I make the cut. We could
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: see where nine was well, but you could see where
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: nine was, and so we knew ahead of time that
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: the cut was actually.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Going to be.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: There were going to be a couple of people in
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: four two that made it, but that number was actually
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: going to be potentially a little bit higher because a
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: number of the people who were playing up so they
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: had lost, but when they played up, they ended up winning.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: And it happened multiple times in sealed, and so that
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: actually helped a number of us out. But it was
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: pretty cool to watch in real time and to kind
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: of watch people playing. I did with the deck that
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: I put together, well, I did not have amber control
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: or creature control. I did have nineteen printed amber and
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: I also had again that triple jump start, which really
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: did a lot of work in that skyborne pod and
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: so just really pushing amber and seeing, okay, what does
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: everyone have to pull me off? I either won gloriously
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: quick or I lost pretty quickly too.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: In a blaze of fire. Did anybody make top eight?
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Did you make top eight?
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: I did make top eight, so four to two I
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: was actually seated in the number seven position, So MGGI lost.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: He was the top four to two. I was the
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: second top four to two, so I only lost to
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: Miggy and speed Pace who were both in, and then
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: our boy Kaimera actually unfortunately fell as the number nine slot.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: He was hit with that first out of the top.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: His weekend was just fine.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: It was you cry for him. Yeah, Camera Camara did
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: very well this weekend.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Two.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: I ended up bouncing at two and two. I guess
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: I could battle it out. But at round four, already
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: having two losses, I was like, yep, just just didn't
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: have the stuff, as they say. It was very It
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: was very disappointed to go, oh, shadows and then cracking
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: it and be like, oh no, there's nothing in here,
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Just why is there nothing in here?
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: Feel bad for you at least at least you had
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: one of the houses you want.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: I mean fair, I'll I felt I felt bad for you,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: going oh shit, no, knowing you had three of the
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: same houses. That's not a fun experience. Sours uh ours
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: is real bad.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: This that they are.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: It can do some things, but you need to you
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: need a very focused grouping of cards, and for the
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: most part that's not what the commons are going ahead
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: and showing up most of the time.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I did have the interesting fact that each each one
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: of my decks did have a gigantic. I don't know
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: if that's what you want, but each one of them.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: You are the pot. You're the pod that had three
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: gigantics and you did not play them.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: I did not play a single gigantic. No, no, should
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: I play?
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: He made a good decisions this weekend.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: I should I have played?
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: What is zombsk the skyborne gigantic? Who does it really
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: do anything?
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: He shows up in the finals? He no, that's the finals?
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Is the dragon? Oh you said which one?
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: Oh? Yeah?
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: No?
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: That okay? That one's pretty bad.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: I did have the I did have the the Orboros
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: giant as well.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Do they have two giants or Boros?
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Nobody knows one just the one, okay, because I was like,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: I don't remember looking, but his giant looked different from
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: my giant. But it's okay, Yeah, I had. I had
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: a giant in each one of mine, so it was fine.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: The only giant that I would have even considered playing
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: is possibly the Oraboros one, because it did have that
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: scaling The fish keys costs plus two. I didn't get
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: the fish one. The fish one is the one I
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: did not get. The there was a scaling of your
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: opponents keys cost plus two.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah is Yeah, Kolsha has fifteen power or burrows. Play
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: only with the other half. Your opponent's skis costs plus
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: two for each forged key they have after fight. After
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: reap exhausts up to three creatures.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Which doesn't matter when your opponent has Hannibal's mark. Yeah
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: we'll get We'll get to that in a little bit.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: But yeah, neither height nor hair. It was fine. I
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: was more than happy to go play Sealed Survival, which
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: was not Sealed Survival but is Sealed Survival because Sealed
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Survival went five rounds and that was it didn't matter
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: where you were. You got five rounds and Sealed Survival
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: and that was it. So if I would have known
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: that going in, I probably I might have played a
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: little I might have chosen my dex a little differently,
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: because I am one to choose. I am going to
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: play my worst deck first and see I just if
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: I can get a few wins out of it. If
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: I can, great, If I cannot, well let's move on,
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: you know. But that's was what it was. I'm not
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: gonna cry over spilt milk there. Just know that anything
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: that says survival on it just know that your side
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: events are only going to go five rounds.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: There you go, that's all right.
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: It doesn't mean it is actually back to two. L oh.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: That this is true for side events, yes, for nothing.
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: Else, well for side events survival, right, but also no,
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: assuming it's two dak right. I mean, there's a lot
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: of a lot of assumptions going on here.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: This is true, but also no. One thing I want
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: to note is kind of when we talked about it earlier,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: I guess, is the fact that we were all like,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: oh well, basically like if you have two losses, maybe
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: go find something else to do. Not not quite the
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: case in and the main event you can't there with
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: how many four two has made it three?
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: So looking at this, I believe it was three. I
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: took this shot, yeah, because speed Paced was actually seated
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: one at five one. On FATHOMAB was five one man
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: and d G five to one, Doug Tator at five
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: to one, and then it was Jas at five one,
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: Migi at four two, myself, Eyoch at four two, his
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: sign at four to two. So there were three of
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: us at four to two.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of the one thing I did want
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: to kind of highlight for everybody, Like, if you are
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: into those later rounds and you are in that that
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: three to one, three to two, know that you you
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: still are in it with fit will. We had what
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: fifty people for sealed.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so there were forty eight forty eight players for sealed,
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: So I will say it does matter where you go
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: ahead and lose. So if you lose in your first round,
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: un loss, it's in Swiss. No, but like that that
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: has a big it does?
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I mean it? You know?
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Again, I was like, oh, I'm two losses, Like my
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: losses did come early. But like if if you are
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: getting to lose losses in the later rounds, you know,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: don't just feel like you're out and maybe go play
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: you know, sealed or whatever. Stick around. You do have
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: an opportunity to get in the top eight. Right, So
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: it's just one thing I wanted to highlight because it is,
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, going back to Swiss is kind of a
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: big change for a lot, you know, for we've been
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: too low for what for three years, four years, a
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: number of years. So just just know that, you know,
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: you have the opportunity to still make a top eight.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: So but Sealed Survival is not sealed survival.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: It is what it is.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: I did pull a little bit of gas in my
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: second deck, so I was like, huh, I like this,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: and I learned that I should have just started with it. No, well, no,
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: you'll only be there.
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: I opened one VM twenty six one amber Skies chose
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: to start with the amber Sky's deck, which does not
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: amber Sky so far does not stand up to VM
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: twenty six at all on an open sealed kind of yep,
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: keep getting annihilated, yep.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: Pete, did you play in the sealed survival as well?
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: I did. I opened to talk and my decks were
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: not very good. I went one and two.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: There were total of seventeen players that showed up. Our
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: local mister Perfect did take it, but I will like
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: shout out to him for going ahead and taking it.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: It was a little bit odd in that because you
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: had multiple people who were still alive after the five
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: rounds that the tiebreakers decided who won, so shut out.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, weird how that works. How the tiebreakers to said,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not salty. I'm salty. I'm so salty.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: I was just like, this is survival, call it anything
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: but survival.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: But I think the only other Yeah, it was survival.
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: I think the only survival. Just like it was in
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: the other one. It didn't matter outside of losing twice
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: and then you go to top eight, you had to
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: go down to one deck.
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: Anyways, I think the only thing that was missed is
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: that I would have put Sealed on Saturday, so that
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: you basically would have a chance to play Sealed on
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: Friday and then Sealed on Saturday if you were out.
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: But that's that's the only difference that I would have made.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't have put all of sealed on Friday.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Well. Also, the cut or not the cut, the the
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: opportunity to jump into the side of it happened after
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: round three on Friday, whereas Saturday was after round four.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: So can I think your mistaken you were? Yes, yeah,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: I was a mistaken it what you said, you went
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: to two before you jumped in the side event, but
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: there's only three rounds on Friday before the Saturday it
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: was an hour later, so I felt like there was
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: more pressure to get out if you wanted to.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: I thought it was too too No, that was Saturday. Yeah, okay, Well,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: either way, wherever my decks were like she said, well
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: sheep didn't say it I said it do doo kaka,
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: and I was not having fun playing the pods I
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: was provided, so I was out.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: Speaking of pods, I will say that when we on
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: round number six, anyone who was already five oh, there's
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: real reason to try out your other pods, so shut
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: out to unfathomable for actually trying out a different pod.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: I know he ended up going five to one, but like,
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: that's the time where you know that at five oh,
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: you're going to go ahead and make it into top eight.
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: And so that is a title. That is the time
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: if you think.
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: You hello greatly today and this whole like two six
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: o's are playing each other in the last round for
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: seed position only like it felt so dumb. You're you're
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: kind of playing for nothing, is what it feels.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: Like, versus just sitting.
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: No versus it. Well, you go do something else, ye.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Like that ten player cut with them getting go bye.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, because like at the two l O portion
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: No, I want a classic too, l O. I liked
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: to l O. I didn't want Swiss because the xos
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: are qualified at four oh, they don't get to six
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: O and have to play it doesn't matter, yeah, or
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: messes or messes with tie breakers in some silly way,
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: because yeah, they're like they don't need to win.
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: They don't need to win.
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: It's like they they have this position where if if
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: somebody they beat earlier they don't want to see again,
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: they can pitch their round to try to weaken their tiebreakers.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: I will still would that be collusion, No, okay, but.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: Only if you agree with another player do it for
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: some reason. If you just choose to do it on
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: your own, it's strategy.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: I will one of my master vaults has oh I
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: think this is somebody else's master vault tech.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: I will say that the four to two Swiss did
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: allow three of us in for the top eight, and
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: out of those sites read it was it was meaningful
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: because same actually was runner up and qualified for Worlds
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: as results, so he was one of Unfortunately he was
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: one of the four two's and so it actually really matters.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: The other two both making and myself finished top eight,
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: so you could argue against that, but again I ended
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: up facing off against on Fathomable who took it overall,
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: and he had still would.
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: Have been a top cut with eight players, so you
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: know whether they're four two's or we end around earlier
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: and then there's a play.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: In Yeah, well Friday night, we like said, don't care
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: for the Swiss. Yeah Friday Night, we did go ahead
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: and play top.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Eight, played the first to eight.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: We did play the well that's our top eight round
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: for sealed out of seating because on Fatimable did try
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: out his other pod. It was not as good. He lost,
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: and so my my roommates for the nights I ended
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: up facing. He was seated two, I was seated seven.
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: We played and he got the better of me, and
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: he had definitely a much better deck as you could
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: see for the rest of the weekend. I did actually
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: put some pressure though, which made me feel good after
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: he took down sealed because that game went three to two.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: But his Hannibal's Mark did not come out in our
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: game at all. That would have really been problem for
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: my thing from the Deep. But think from the Deep
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: with a little bit of pressure coming from from jump
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: Start was there.
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: It was something m yeah, jump Start Hannibal's mark. Those
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: are very real cards.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: Well, he had double TMTP, he had Hannibal's Mark. There
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: were a lot of really good.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Believe also had routine job.
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: I think it a copy of yeah amber purse as well.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: He had lots of good cards.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he had good Yeah.
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: The two Ember purse actually was what killed me in
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: the end. So in the sealed I really debated about
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: tossing my Skyborne. The only thing that was kind of
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: keeping me alive was the silly one amber steel off
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: of Deep Blue brind and so I had kept that,
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: but I had brought out two others and I actually pause.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: I talked to him, I'm like, I think I need
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: to toss this under the chance that I'm going to
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: get hit for the steal off of purse, and he
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: just smiled at me. And it was about two turns
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: later it hits and I'm like, yep, I ended up
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: managing to steal three off of it. So I was
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: fine and that it was the same amount of amber,
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: but that was the final blow that really took me
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: out in the top eight.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: You mentioned him smiling at you. I'll say two of
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: my three losses in the main events came to Dexter.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: He has a great time when he's kicking your ass.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: He's always smiling, laughing. It just makes it all feel
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit better. So I appreciate that. Thank you. Dexter,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: thank you for kicking our ass. Dexter, I tackle like
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: a maniac.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: We know.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: Or you went quiet too. I will say.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: That that that is option too.
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: That was sealed and sealed survival.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: So moving into Saturday, we got ark On an Alliance,
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: which there was a lot of jockeying going on there.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Didn't know how who was going where, what was happening,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Trouble in paradise, uh for Kamera, which actually ended up
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: in his favor. I ended up going I think we
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: all want Arkon, right, nobody here went alliance just camero yeah,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: just camera, which I should have gone Alliance, but it didn't.
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: It happened listen to me.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well so you talk about it telestrations. Yeah, playing
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: telestrations with Dexter is incredibly difficult.
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: Well, I would rather deal with Dester than mister Perfect's drawings.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: I don't think I ever sat beside him to get
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: any of his drawings, So I don't know how. I
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: know at one point you moved. I can't remember when
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: we were like, I can't.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Be next to you.
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: No, they were bad.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but yes, we drew.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: A bunch of dudes, drew penises and drank alcohol.
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: We also raced the mask that was.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: On Saturday night. Nope, I don't know what night that was.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Was that Saturday, Saturday night, Saturday Saturday.
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: We were ultimately very tame. We went back to our
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: Airbnb and then proceeded to play board games, not drink
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: much of Kyle's beer.
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: We had really good barbecue, though.
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: We did order pretty good barbecue. Yeah, it was a
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: good time, but we were just very tame.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if we were not as wild as we normally.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: So this is what happens when we don't have a
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: dass core. Yeah, we're just tame. We're just lame. We're Sydney. Yeah,
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: we had no bad influences and we were boring. Yeah,
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: I'll do better next time, I promise, because Saturday night
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: we go into our kind of alliance or Saturday morning,
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: Uh boys, how do we? How do we fare?
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Sheep?
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: I had the lovely effect to be able to see
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: sheep in around one. So that was amazing.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, round one. And I'm not saying I'm not saying
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: that you're saying, I'm not saying that there's a conspiracy,
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: But there was a damn conspiracy that was the biggest
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: pile of bullshit I have ever seen in my life.
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: The people that stayed in our house.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: Nine of them were playing one, nine of them were
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: an archon. Six were pairedom. But that's a forty. You're
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: gonna have something, You're.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Gonna have some, not every single one. Round one I
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: got paired up with the You got paired up with Sheep, Pete.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: You went up against Dexter, right, yes, sir, I think danger.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: But was the only one who didn't get paired up
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: with somebody in the house.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: He played a.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Really and lost. No both played. He was either between
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Amber Skuys and d M and he was no.
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: No.
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: He played against played against A played right next there
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: was a A in the field. It was sheep and I.
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: It was right next to us. He learned a lesson
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: off of away.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: So it is.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Something, Yeah, Marty, take cover. He's gone good says he's
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: dealing with a tornado, but yeah, take cover. Yeah, I
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: was fearful we were going to have one tonight with
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: all the rain and stuff going on.
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: There was one down by sheep.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah say yeah, crazy weather, Wisconsin's having again.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: Craziness, But I'm not.
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: The lesson that was learned was in regards to soul snatcher,
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: So that's your dis artifact. Each time a creature is destroyed,
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: its owner gains one. Our good boy danger but was
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: going ahead and playing d M his DM Dack had
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: old switcheroo and it was basically switching after capturing some amber.
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: How they had played it is that the actual person
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: who controlled the disc pod with Soltau was gaining the
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: amber for the creature that was destroyed because it was
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: on his side. But it says its owner gains one,
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: so it actually should have gone a danger both it was.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: I forgot.
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: It's a very it's a very easy thing to miss,
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: but they.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: Were awarding it to the controller instead of the owner.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: I don't think it was stressed.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: As correct, so it could be at yes, it could
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: be a big difference. Also, I managed to get our
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: boy perfect on stream round one.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: For him to never know.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: He no, he got his warning with me and Arkaante
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: two because he wasn't fully completing his effects before moving on,
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: and I had to keep telling him, you need to
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: complete your effect, and then dead sync was just there
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: and he's, yeah.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: Did you explain to them why you wanted him on
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: the stream, and he still did it. I didn't.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, I asked nicely, and I batted my eye. But
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: the problem was is that he had a stupid Memorrocks deck,
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: so he never had to use any of his tokens something,
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: so it didn't even cost. The game was over in
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: six minutes, so they never had to use any of
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: his other tokens besides Ember.
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah sealed, he just Memorrocks and all our mars. So
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: he's got you off of it.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: I was. I was so like deflated after that, but yeah,
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: that was that. Back back to Saturday. Yeah, Saturday, I
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: got I don't want to say I got him one,
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: but he he said, he, he said. He calmed down
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: after that and started paying closer attention. We'll see if
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: that rolls over. Not real one hundred percent sure if
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: it will, er won't, but we'll find out. Thanks to
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: dead Sink for serving him a warning.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it.
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: He did. Uh mister perfect did go on to win
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: Sealed Survival.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: Yep, yes, yep, we said that.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining him.
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he took. He took the Sealed Survival and
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: in one at four one. He also ends up taking
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: one of the pack drafts later on too, so.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, draft. Yeah.
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, our locals they're pretty hot.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Cheap.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: How did you feel about being matched up with with
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: me in round one?
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: I was not looking forward to that match at all.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: But it was the start of what was very consistent
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: all weekend, which was you're not playing creatures. Yep, there
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: was so much Trenk's creed and cryptic collapse in this field.
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: Just quit playing creatures and so you can't take all
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: your amber.
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: So I went back and forth, and actually, even just
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: moments before the our kind of events went off, I
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: still hadn't picked my deck and committed. That's a note
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: to yourself. You'll do better if you actually pick a
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: deck and just practice it and go with it. I
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: knew splinter Back well, Splinterback not well enough, I will say,
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: but it's PV Logo Sanctum Shadows. It did have trinks.
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: You also knew it because it was originally your deck.
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: But we kind of I felt that you had control
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: right from the beginning, and it just kept going. I
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: could not really draw and get anything rolling in this deck,
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: which was a little bit odd, but it is what
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: it is.
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you definitely never got any traction.
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: Nope, a little bit on my part with the Shadows
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: early on or no this. I had sanctum early on
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: and I kind of stayed in that for was probably
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: an extra turn or two that I didn't need to,
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: But I think it really came down to you had
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: Key cheated with your Battlefleet key abduction for Key one,
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: which is a bummer because I had my hoodwink to
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: do nothing then as you stole, so I had to
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: kind of hold on to that a little bit. But
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: it was when you went for Key two. You were
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: sitting at you push to nine Amber and I have
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: five cards left, and I'm sitting with my IG, but
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: IG is not in my hand. It is in the
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: bottom five cards. So I immediately look, I'm gonna zert
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: and kill myself in order to draw one. So we're
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: down to four cards. I have four year that I'm
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: gonna play. I'm gonna look and I should have a
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: fifty to fifty chance, and neither of them go ahead
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: and hit. It was another logos creature because all my
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: logos were buried at the bottom, which was not great.
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: But I play both of them and then I make
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: a fatal decision, which you smile at, and I have.
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: A parent yeah, it was.
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: It was real bad because I actually had my out
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: boys and girls and that was Rage Reset, but without
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: thinking I played it as a fate because randomly discard
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: half of the cards from your hand, rounding down great
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: except the play effect that's on Rage re Set one.
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: It would have given me an amber, but the play
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: effect says destroy any number of friendly creatures. I had
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: two that I just played, draw one card for each
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: creature destroyed. This way, there were only two cards left
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: and deck, which meant IG was one of those cards,
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: so there was no point in me having the logos
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: two creatures. It literally mattered nothing.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: You punted that hard.
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: I punted, and again I think it's something that you
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: just tune out. I was drawn really bad and I
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: get frustrated, but yes, read your cards, play them out.
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: Look at it because the two cards were there, and
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: had I done that, there would have been three off
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: of it for the amber that was there, and then
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: five on the IG, so I should have been right
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: back at check. But instead that did not happen.
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: You would have been at two keys five amber, and
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: I would have been at one key and not going
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: for my next one. That would have definitely been a
• 48:12
  Speaker 5: game changer.
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: No, that was ig because you were going to go
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: ahead and forge the second key off of it.
• 48:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I would have been at one key and
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: not no two keys.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, we.
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: Two keys, but no extra amber. Your two keys and
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: five amber.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: And the difference here is that you pushed with that amber.
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: Because of the five you had two keys and then
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: three amber you were able to go into your mars
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: turn and then keebduct just for the right amount. So yeah,
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: that was again hit both key abductions right in that amount.
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: So you took out PV right away. A good job,
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: my friend, good job. But you were hot. You went
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: six to oh and just kept going through the field.
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: I will argue the deck that you played in the
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: second round was very similar basically. I think that's why
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: some people are frustrated.
• 48:59
  Speaker 5: People like a freaking mirror match, except it had almost
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: like the exact same logo SPoD, but it had cryptic
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: collapse instead of YEP, I think. But otherwise it felt
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: but I felt like, yeah, I played the same game twice.
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: But I think that's some of the frustration. Well, but
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: if you see a smaller card pool and you see
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: some of the comments that are showing up as consistently powerful,
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: very good cards like this is part of the reason,
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: Like I was really looking at trying to actually play
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: my names uh DM deck, and the end decision was
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: I didn't want to just go to two and finished
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: there that that that's that was the honest choice. I'm like, hey,
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: PV will play out better. I had two PV decks
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: and the DM, but I narrowed it down to splinterback
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: and then DM. I think that the DM deck is
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: more fun to play, but I'm like, it's just not
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: as competitive, and yet it still was the same. So again,
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: play what you want, have some fun with it. I
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: then played our good buddy danger Boat and I felt bad.
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: That was not a close game. Well it was closer
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: than you need to on DM because I couldn't draw again.
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: But I did take it. And then game three I
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: actually lost to DM and just got absolutely obliterated. So
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: a business site getting rid of Trenk's creed and my
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: hoodwink and my ig. That's a thing. There's a lot
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: of business site going around with DM.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: But I was gonna drop very good card.
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: It is very very good. But at that point I
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: was ready to drop because I have two losses in
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: rounds one and three. I'm not going to go ahead
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: to make the top cut for two. But because we
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: were an hour later, Aaron's like, well, just wait for
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: the side of it. So I played the last round.
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: I finished two to two, but again even with PV,
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: I still finished two too, So it would have been
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: better just to play a deck that I wanted to
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: play versus there weird.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: My only losses were to PV. Weird Weird.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, both my losses and our con come to PV. Yeah,
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: they're things. I mean, mister perfect that it hit a
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: nice uh wow, I'm drawing a total blank.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: Lateral shift on me.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: If he does not pull the lateral shift at that
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: exact moment, I go bananas at that and just go crazy.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: I had I had enough of my hand to start
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: the loop already. The he pulled a junk restoration from
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: my hand, and that's what would have gotten me haunted.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: And then I just I go into the loopings as
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: Pete likes to play, say the watch me plays.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: By g boo.
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he pulls that, and he pulls that, and then
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: I just it was a downward spiral from there because
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: I gotta make I got a shift and it went
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: not good.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: What do you want fish?
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just invited to speak, So now I'm here.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: Well you were raising your hand, no, brot.
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: I mean the kid should get a chance to speak
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: after his dominant weekend archives.
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: Well it's pretty good.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: His story goes all rounds. Let me get mine out
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: of the way and then we'll go over there. So
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: I I lost the dexter round one and he can
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: elaborate on how that went. I did get a parasitic
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: charge key off, which I was very excited about. Yeah
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: that was cool, But that means you're losing, right, that's
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: the way it works.
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: And then I think you got it for two amber.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah great, yeah, and then you didn't else that game.
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: Thank you for highlighting my my.
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: You already won, man, Just let him have his spotlight.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: And then I think in Arkan. I played next a
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: gentleman from Kalamazoo who I played two other times this weekend,
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: and just a fantastic gentleman. You know. I tried talking
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: to him about TCO. He'd never heard of it. So
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: a newer player who hopefully is going to stick with
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: the game and find out what all's out there for him,
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: So that game I won, and then that was a
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: non that was Ambers guys versus Ambers guys. And then
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: round three, I get another one of these wonderful PV
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: decks is my opponent, and I'm looking the deck list over.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, just more degenerate nonsense. And my opponent says, hey,
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: I think we've played this matchup before. He goes, I
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: played you on TCO and then you went on Discord
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: and he started talking about how you don't like PV. Yeah,
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: that's that doesn't really narrow it down, guy, That's that's
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: kind of what I do. So I apologize to him
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: because he said he started during Store Champs, so he's
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: a fairly new player too, so I try to be
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: as nice as possible, and he was nice despite the awful,
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: awful things he did to my deck, Just terrible stuff.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: Show us where the Batman touched you, Pete.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: All over, he touched me in my hand, my probably
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: my my discard pile just really went through one end
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: and out the other. No dignity left. So that's fun.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: Thanks GG for PV once again, looking forward to your
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: next call it. Oh it's it's worse than next. I
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: don't think HPV can kill you, but this this one's
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: doing a number anyways.
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: Dexter can't kill you either, but it's trying.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: It's well, we'll see what the numbers look like as
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: we go. All right, that's all all I have to
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: say on that. I'm looking forward to hearing Dexter's accounting
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: of his glorious rise.
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: Did you make it in as one of the four
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: to two slots though? For ARCon I did?
• 55:10
  Speaker 6: Yes, so me and John both just barely scraped by
• 55:14
  Speaker 6: in the seventh and eighth spot and went on to get.
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: First and second in nice nice yep. First round in
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: ARCon I beat Pete.
• 55:25
  Speaker 6: Second round, I went up against a pretty cool PV
• 55:28
  Speaker 6: deck with the sample forty two C card that like artifact,
• 55:32
  Speaker 6: that didn't get a freaky That one was fun.
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: That game was pretty close, but I sor yeah it did.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I went up against that deck. It rushed me.
• 55:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that was a solid deck for sure. I mean
• 55:46
  Speaker 6: PV's good. Then round three, I lost to John Beaver
• 55:51
  Speaker 6: right after playing him in a practice round, like during
• 55:55
  Speaker 6: the lunch break. We played in a practice round and
• 55:57
  Speaker 6: I won that match. And then in the actual Swiss
• 56:00
  Speaker 6: pairings in round three, he was able to beat me
• 56:02
  Speaker 6: once he knew how my deck worked, and he just
• 56:04
  Speaker 6: didn't play creatures, and that's how TV games go sometimes.
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: Round don't play creatures.
• 56:17
  Speaker 6: And then round four was against Tobin and he was
• 56:20
  Speaker 6: able to take me down. His deck was just doing
• 56:23
  Speaker 6: all of its stuff. He got tranks out twice for
• 56:26
  Speaker 6: big money because I was had good logos, board going
• 56:30
  Speaker 6: and lots of archiving stuff. But he also had like
• 56:33
  Speaker 6: four cards on his deck that just discarded all of
• 56:35
  Speaker 6: my archives. So that didn't really help me all that moment.
• 56:39
  Speaker 6: So lost to Tobin in round four.
• 56:42
  Speaker 4: Round five, Tobin was on Khabib, which is a really
• 56:45
  Speaker 4: solid pranks. I'm trying to think of what's discarding, so
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: digital signal.
• 56:52
  Speaker 6: And the sanctum that can the broken intent. I think
• 56:57
  Speaker 6: he had two of those.
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: Uh, there's one other. There's one broken intent yet discarded archives.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: Interesting might have been the vault keeper in here, so
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: the steel is actually impacted by ballkeeper coming in. That's
• 57:15
  Speaker 4: an old wool card that you don't see too often.
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: So for Power one Arm or night Spirit, your amber
• 57:20
  Speaker 4: cannot be sold in.
• 57:22
  Speaker 6: I mean that's what John did against Sheep in the
• 57:26
  Speaker 6: top eight match right, just vault pretty good.
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: Anything killed me?
• 57:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yep, that was It's quite sad going six to
• 57:37
  Speaker 5: oh on day.
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: One and then down by a vault keeper.
• 57:43
  Speaker 5: A vault keeper, Uh so was life?
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: Wow?
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: One other thing.
• 57:51
  Speaker 5: Four TVs and amber skies and and a TOC deck.
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: And I also played a TOC deck round six.
• 58:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so that was a couple of good cocktacks with
• 58:08
  Speaker 5: all them damn.
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure it was a good I.
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: Think they were all creatures.
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: And no, there was a wrangler. I went up against
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: a wrangler in around six. Yeah.
• 58:21
  Speaker 6: It had Baylenora like with the wrangler and lots of
• 58:24
  Speaker 6: red lines and against all flags. It was really cool
• 58:28
  Speaker 6: TALC deck.
• 58:30
  Speaker 4: So looking at the top eight for Arkon, you had
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: four TV you and John B. Bever go ahead and
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: come in right at seven and eight. So two of
• 58:39
  Speaker 4: you smoke in and really take it. Olympio, mammon, play again,
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: mam in top Ford in sealed and the top Ford
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: in ARCon. You can see somebody here there sheep. You
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: had Coda Dom Fham with his gr down a test
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: which is well known DAK and very very solid. I
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: believe that took, isn't that what took? Baltimore last year
• 59:02
  Speaker 4: if I'm correct, you're correct, and then Rainbow Wolf actually
• 59:08
  Speaker 4: on top with his Coatina fiends a very interesting, very
• 59:13
  Speaker 4: interesting selection of decks. H speed Paste I'll give another
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: shout out to because he made top eight and sealed
• 59:19
  Speaker 4: and then also top forward for our coun So you
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: saw a couple of different people showing up consistently, which
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: is really really nice.
• 59:29
  Speaker 5: Speed Paste PV deck played a little bit different than
• 59:33
  Speaker 5: everybody else's. Wasn't the same trunks? Creed didn't it?
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: No, it's just.
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is right value logos, Yeah, writer conever, undue flank,
• 59:51
  Speaker 4: double gift of Amber Remy's whore, Yeah, embellish and then
• 59:55
  Speaker 4: the triple in furnace.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: We didn't talk about.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure if you get guys want to talk
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: about on a later episode or not.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned that there was a lot of Katina
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: Feene decks. Really there was like seventy one out of
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: seventy two Katina feed decks. If you think about it,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: there's two. I think that's what you're about to lose
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: to the decks. No, I was seventy one out of
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: seventy two.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: I don't understand there is there a reference here.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: What am I missing? It's okay, it's math. I'm sorry,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: I'm done. No, I understand, I'm not. There's seventy two decks.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: There's seventy two cards. When you have two decks, and
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: then if there's a card missing, you have seventy one
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: out of seventy two. Oh that's the ratio of Katina
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: fin decking of cards missing? Do we want? So?
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: We totally forgot about a missing card and.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 4: It happened in a game for sealed. It was very unfortunate.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 5: Yes, well, I don't let them tell the story.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who's the only thing.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 5: The only real thing about that was the fact that
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 5: we got just crushed with OTT this weekend, right, like
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 5: everything went pretty well, but oh my gosh, the time
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 5: between rounds this weekend was felt excessive to me, like
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 5: one of them does between pairings, the time before we
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 5: started events, like Josh Orbital Tangent was on a tear
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 5: with his talking this weekend, and maybe you know, I
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 5: think half problems. I've been to so many of these
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 5: that I don't need any of the words anymore. But man,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 5: there were a lot of words before we got to
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 5: play any games.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, one of the big I guess breaks was
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: during day two somebody I forget who was the guy
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: who bought all the pizza. He also does the for
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: the ax for.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 5: Upper Tall Bird.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, super Tall Bird.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: He made the trophy that I won for our coon.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah it was.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: Pizza was brought in so none of us had to
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: like go out for lunch, which was really nice.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 5: Yes, but then it also made that hour long break
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 5: feel forever, because it.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 4: Really did make it feel long. I agree it was weird, but.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 5: It was very nice.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's a good thing to not have to
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: go driving somewhere.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: Or walk Panera or whatever that.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 5: Was Saint Louis Bread Company.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 3: Sure it was also Panera Bread.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, So I mean that that definitely made it feel longer. Yeah, Ott,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: this weekend was.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 4: It was a little brutal.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: I said, I don't know if it's just because we've
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: been I mean, I don't know. There was a lot
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: of new faces. Like one of the guys there was like, hey,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: I started playing on Thursday, like the Thursday before the
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: Vault Tour, and his friend showed him the game and
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: he showed up to a Vault tour.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 4: Which is great. We love to see that are you
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: guys surprised to see fifty players there?
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: Shocked? I absolutely flort. I really thought we would be
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: right around the same numbers as as a Roosevelt, maybe
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: a little higher with some of the locals, because Saint
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: Louis is a tough place, it seems like to get
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: into and out of.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 4: I agree with that statement, and I was very happy
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 4: to see fifty. I'd actually heard fifty screw but what's
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: listed in our connor Kana is basically forty for our
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 4: count and ten for alliance. Right, maybe the fifty two
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 4: was people who had signed up total.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: Signed up and then switch right or something.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there were definitely some people who didn't, because Josh
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 5: was announcing names at one point asking if they were
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 5: there because they'd registered but.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: Didn't didn't sign him, right, Yeah, So I I really
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: thought it was going to be very much that, and
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: then when it wasn't, I was like, oh, hey, maybe
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: this is a good spot to have things. I guess,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: so it is, you know, it is what it is,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: So moving forward, some of us went and played yet
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: definitely thanks to Kyle for bringing a pile of ember
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: Sky's decks, because that's all you could play in ub
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: yet I.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: Definitely did say this.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 4: I thought it was very clear.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I did say what Yeah, who won that event?
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: I don't came come that.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 5: The guy loaned out all the questionable decks.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: Ey, No, he was running Sam.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: We don't.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: We don't ask how the resealing is. I mean I did.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 4: Find I found it interesting that a couple of the
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 4: people I played. I looked for what houses would not
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 4: overlap and that would make a good section. I gave
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 4: you wookie two decks. I brought in two decks.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: I made some people who were ready for this event. Yes,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: like I gave you the logopan what do you mean?
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: I gave you a logo span and I had a
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: geistoid band. I thought that was perfectly fine. Should the
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: band because man, that atomic destabilizer. Oh that thing's just
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: it's just a house.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 4: I actually faced the first three rounds was all geistoid band,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 4: so we were allowed to choose between.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: We're happy to report did its thin Round one. I
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: believe there are two losses because the houses in both decks.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 4: There were a couple of people who had doubled up
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 4: and just chanced it, and that kind of bit them.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 4: But there were also some individuals who had some really
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 4: really strong decks. I know Kaimira played was the first
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 4: four rounds out of the five had played the same
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 4: deck and his band was Geistoid, So this was one
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 4: hundred and one sass amber Sky's deck, pretty solid Archaanometer
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 4: with a skyborne pip double redline rotation, you know, talent scout,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 4: some security details, so there was against all flags. This
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 4: had some spice, but you saw some people who brought
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 4: some very very very very strong decks, and then Kimer
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 4: did have to go ahead and win in the last
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 4: round with his other deck. So I thought the event
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 4: was fine. Okay, I know you didn't necessarily enjoy it
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 4: as much.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: But I just number one, I'm not a huge fan
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: of ember skies to begin with, so being forced to
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: play a set that I don't necessarily enjoy kind of
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: a bummer. But it's it's it's a it's really in
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: the end of nothing burger. I had a great time
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: all weekend. I played, you know, I played lots of
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: key Forge, I will say, I mean, I guess not
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: going into final thoughts, but kind of like there was
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: always something to do, right you you even if you
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: were out of the main event. And you're into side
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: events like I know some people took it rough, but
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: not everybody did. And to be honest with you, like
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: it was like, oh, I'm just gonna shuffle over into
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: this event. I'm gonna shuffle over into that event. You
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: were always able to play, right like, you were never out.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: You were never out, and you were playing for something
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: like the the addition of the dump a pack in
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: or whatever h draconian measures pack in like it made
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: it feel like there were stakes involved instead of just
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: then I'm gonna say it, raffle tickets, right, I don't
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: ever win shitting them raffles, right, Like, I probably still
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: got them in my wallet because that's how little they
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: mattered to me, because I didn't win anything. But you
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: were always able to you know, I ended up two
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: decks up for the weekend, you know with just how
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: I I now have three Jircaronian measures decks I don't
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: care about, so you know, and on one extra Vault
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: Master twenty six. So I mean, you were always doing something.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: You're always able to play like, you never were like
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: out of just like, oh well I'm here now, now
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: what do I do? Which I do feel like in
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: previous Vault Tours. That's kind of like you're out of
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: the main event and it's like, well, you can play
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: a second umber, and you're like I could, or you know,
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: I could go literally do anything else.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 4: I will say in Ubli Boys, I got some Max
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 4: moom Keyborge time.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: I really sure you did well.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 4: I was playing a super fast deck and so the
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 4: first four rounds we actually played both of the decks.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 4: I played eight games in those four rounds, and uh,
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 4: the only reason we didn't do it in the final
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 4: round is I played someone who was another teacher and
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 4: we just talked after playing that bit. But it was
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 4: just it was really nice to be able to play
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 4: key Forge and to be able to jam games, even
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 4: if it was something different. And because PV was seen
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 4: in ARCon I mean, yes, I could have I could
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 4: have played further. I could have hoped to be able
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 4: to miss the cut. I just looked and said, I
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 4: really was done with playing TV, and I think a
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 4: couple of people were, so I look forward to being
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 4: able to play Amber Skies. I enjoyed that experience. I
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 4: will argue Oupliet again was a little bit on OTT
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 4: time and it struggled with it.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: It wasn't necessarily like it was the fact that you
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: were like, oh you have to go Embers guys, that's
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: all your allowed to play as ever skies and I
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: was kind of.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 4: Well, but that was that was stated. I mean, the
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 4: only thing that could be done is that not.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: I understand it was stated, but it's again, you got
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: to understand that not everyone likes every one of your sets, Gigi,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: so like, don't maybe restrict play. I mean, I guess
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: I don't really know how else better to do it.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 4: Well, but you can't do Ubliet with just open all
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 4: sets because there's too many houses.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: Maybe you get to ban three houses.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's not I mean, that's not how it was
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 4: set up. But I will say the one thing that
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 4: could have been done is announce the events earlier so
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 4: that people could planime days previous.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I's got plenty of grief about that at the event.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 4: So he heard it. We're fine. The only other comment
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 4: that really made my day was at the end of
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 4: round three, we were sitting here, we were waiting and
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 4: waiting and waiting, and this was in part that was
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 4: player had a deck that pushed to time consistently, and
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 4: that was part of just the deck. So one of
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 4: our judges came over and said, hey, remember you got
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 4: to stick around, guys. You gotta get prizes, so don't
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 4: leave early, because we had a number of people who
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 4: started to leave and we're like, it's round three, isn't
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 4: this five rounds? We still have another two rounds and
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 4: you heard some some scuffling on under the breath, like, ah,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 4: son of we still got more. That's where the frustration
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 4: comes in, is yes, we're all waiting. But part of
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 4: that is that this wasn't on an individual from Gig.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 4: This was just on players that the games were going long.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 4: Because a deck that was brought really pushed right to time,
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 4: and when that happens, it carries everyone that everyone is.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: It was a walk style deck.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 4: It was something.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna kind of skip into Sunday where
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: we get into the finals for Alliance and ar Con.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: We will talk a little bit about Draft, but I
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: think we're going to do an episode on Draft getting
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: a little long in the.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 5: Two I get a week off.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you kind of do, because you decided to suck
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: it up round one in the finals.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 5: Or on topic, Hey, yeah, I mean, we wouldn't have
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 5: played draft even had I not.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 4: Time.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: We could talk about draft. We don't have to get
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: into details, but we can kind of give our thoughts
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: on it.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 3: It looks really interesting to me. I would have done
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: it if I.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: Could finals come up.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 5: Only side event I played in was Sealed Survival.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I will say shut out. On Sunday, we
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 4: did have uh Kvereer going ahead and taking with PV
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 4: Alliance winner and Kaimira going ahead, both qualifying for Worlds
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 4: as the runner up. So shut Out, snack stap Forward
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 4: and Shingelia went ahead and three together three decks that
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 4: they did not play because they were not there for
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 4: Sealed on Friday, So they threw DM three decks together
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 4: and made it as top few.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: You barely made it Dexter, but Dexter was your winner
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: for for sealed if we totally skipped past that Dexter
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: one sealed.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 5: Yes, what was your thought when you were three to
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 5: Ozer one sealed?
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 3: I thought about dropping to do the Sealed Survival.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, attle Bit, your deck was ridiculous. Both qualified you
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 4: guys at Worlds. But yeah, your deck was real good.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 6: I expected someone else's DM to turn out some good stuff,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 6: but turned out what I got just steal a bunch
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 6: of ambers.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 3: Pretty solid for.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: It turns out the second place Alliance player might have
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: given you a run for your money, So maybe you
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: got lucky.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: Who knows.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: Actually I don't know. I didn't even look at it.
• 1:13:59

  Speaker 2: right in the finals.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 7: Uh No, it was PVY.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: TV is a lion.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 7: It was just like it was. I did not against
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 7: the DM, though.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: I want to know what was that it?
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 8: I played against TV and then I played against TV,
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 8: and then I played against d T, and then I uh,
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 8: it was triple PV, then DT and then I uh.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 7: That was the first four rounds, so I ended up
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 7: going to two.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: And then in.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 8: Top four I played against the DT and the Frog
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 8: Legs Alliance that Sneck was playing. I did beat that,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 8: even though I lost to it in the qualifying rounds,
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 8: but I did beat it in the top four. And
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 8: then in the finals I played against TV, which I
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 8: played against in round.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 7: Three of qualification and lost two. I didn't forge a
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 7: single key in three games against that.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 5: You had two amber at the end of that first game.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 8: Look, yeah, the first game I had to actually, so
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 8: the first dame for the qualification I.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 7: Might have had no amber. So yeah, I went from
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 7: zero to two to five over the course of the
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 7: game so slowly.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Wookie, you were asking what was in the PV Alliance.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: Kinda I don't see it in here, but yeah.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 4: It's there, So it's double traumatic.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: I wanted to know.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: He's here.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 6: I heard it was a lot of board based and
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 6: the one control so I just got bored.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 3: Ye did board stuff?
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, actually, so you want to know the DM that
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 4: was sealed that was put in.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to know allan DM alliance one.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 4: Okay, I had that because so I actually went around
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 4: shout out to Bear Bear. I know we didn't have
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 4: it for Portland, but I did try and collect the decks.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 4: So that's why we actually have what decks are there
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 4: for alliance. So if someone can do that for Portland,
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 4: sorry for Baltimore, I'd appreciate it because it's hard to
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 4: talk about, hey, what showed up and what made top
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 4: cut when you just don't even know what's in the decks.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 4: So has three that are listed and then the last
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 4: one is what was put together, and it's so all
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 4: all I honestly.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: Kind of gross. It's got double unity prism and a
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: scrambler storm reiteration is in there that Yeah, what's its recursion?
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: I got to imagine, Oh, it's got a researcher for
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: I guess some recursion. Oh forgive and forget that doesn't
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: forgive two different types so you can go back and
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: get it. Yeah, that's kind of nuts.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 4: Well, for uh Sophia, what really stood out was actually
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 4: Designer crick so three power two armor Human Scientists logos.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 4: Each time your opponent discards a card from their hand
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 4: draw card and designer captures one. The capture isn't much,
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 4: but it's the draw that's really important. That and then
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 4: you just have s freight control with double traumatic echo
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 4: whiteboard even that just to hint from what's there, but
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 4: double unity prism to move forward you have, Oh you
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 4: shouldn't have to gain amberg you.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: Have is.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: Wild, especially if you can get it under see. I
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: don't know if you play it under against like I had,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: like an ask again later maybe a trust your feelings.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: So that's just ability, like, oh, I'm going to call
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: this house, and now you're in a house that maybe
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: doesn't have their ember control and you hit that, Oh
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: you shouldn't have.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: Bananas, pretty baller.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 4: So I will put the alliance here. I posted in
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 4: the Saint Louis channel, which is about to get news somewhere.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 4: But the alliance built from DM was hysterical. It came
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 4: in as a whopping sixty seven sass. That's right, boys,
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 4: that's what made your top four. So it had your
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 4: your gigantic I don't know what you were talking about.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 4: You couldn't play it, but uh an alliance. He played
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 4: it the zoemach and that's while zomach is attacking nor taunt, elusive, poison, hazardous,
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 4: and vulnerable. After fight, deal two to a creature for
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 4: each borge key the double tie Lord, which is actually
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 4: pretty solid after your pontent discards a card from their hand,
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 4: gain one. If you're playing in Alliance that has a
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 4: little bit more but nothing really else. It has double
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 4: lay lines, it has double snapper Din, and then in
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 4: the Unfathomable it has double Kaipo Princess Leilani, which just
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 4: gets nuked because it's a witch. See.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm sort of been able to
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: beat that, like that's my alliance, doesn't he see doesn't
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: have well so ironic.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 5: But if they're not stopping you, it doesn't matter.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: A true So just would have been can I get
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: the deck moving fast enough?
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 5: Can that deck land aboard and win before you win?
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 4: The two Alliance decks that did not top eight, the
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 4: bottom two were both coded decks, so that I found
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 4: interesting that was not listed here, but it did show up.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 4: And again I think the coded deck that the Code
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 4: Alliance that you were playing or would have played Wookie
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 4: actually is a very very very strong deck.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: It still is. Sheep is right, I should have played it.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: It does have a nature's call, so I could have
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: bounced some stuff.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: I guess.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: It's gotta save the package deal too damage to each creature.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, uh, yeah, sheep is probably right. I should have.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: I should have my gut told me to go Alliance
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: regardless because I'm still my quest on my quests, on
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: my quests, right, Like I screwed the pooch last year,
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: I should have said fall and really just gone back
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: into Alliance and played this deck in Worlds. I did
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: not because I did not think it was going to
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: be good enough. But it wasn't about that. It was
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: about getting accolade on the deck. Screwed the Pooch there too,
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: So now it's like, well, I could do it again,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: so we'll see if I can. I don't know if
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 2: I will be able to do it again, but we'll see.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: I've already I think that rescor about Baltimore.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that your Coda Alliance is strong enough
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 4: to be able to make a top eight, simply because
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 4: there's not a lot of players. I don't think it's
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 4: a top competitive.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 5: Deck, so I think it is there, you go.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: I mean it has the ability, right because the only
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: thing is like I only need a turn from PV
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 2: and if it gives me that turn, it can go
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 2: later Gators and just turn on the burners. So it
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: can also get completely shut out depending on what they hit.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: So it is what it is. It's one of those
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: things where we won't know.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 8: Now on the topic of choosing between Alliance and Arkhan,
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 8: as someone who went to the registration table and attempted
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 8: to register for Arkhan, actually I was registered for both tournaments.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 7: Luckily it didn't matter.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 8: But when Arkon fired, I was the forty eight fortieth
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 8: player in the field. Luckily that didn't make it, so
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 8: there would have been two buys. But yeah, whoever faced
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 8: me would have faced me around one of ARCon just
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 8: got the buy because when I registered for Alliance, they
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 8: did not drop.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 7: Me from ARCon field.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 8: But one thing I will say between choosing between ARCon
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 8: and Alliance is that there was a.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 7: Very seamless transition between the.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 8: End of fourth round for Alliance and then the start
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 8: of the side event round, which was very convenient. So
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 8: I would say, if you are between the two and
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 8: you are strongly considering playing in the side event on Saturday,
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 8: note that that that did start after the fourth round
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 8: and not the third round as was the case on Friday.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 8: That that was actually pretty nice to be able to
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 8: fully compete in the Day one of Alliance right.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 7: Not have to drop even if you have a top
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 7: place finish.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 8: You can can complete all your play and then immediately
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 8: go play in the side event.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 3: So I did like that.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 7: That was a pretty pretty good feeling.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: That was well done because like by by round three
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: or round four, you kind of know where you sit right,
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: so you kind of know what you should do right,
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: so you can you can either move on to doing
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: something different or takes takes your chances.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: But keep listen.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 5: And it's a lot of X two's that were making
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 5: final tables.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: I mean it was you're not wrong, Like how many
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: X too, let's see.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 5: I think that has just a lot to say about
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 5: the current meta and how yeah, like you win it
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 5: one game, you don't win it the next, especially when
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 5: you're playing at all this PV because they are so
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 5: high variants in their cards, sometimes they hit and just
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 5: kill you. And sometimes I play into Ewok's reiteration that
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 5: I thought was a rage reset early in the game,
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 5: just because I'm like, oh, I can discard some of
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 5: these logos cards I don't want to play, and you.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: Did, and I did, and he did and then we uh,
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: we did draft. Now we're not going to really talk
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: too much about draft for getting along on the tooth here.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: I did draft, Pete, did you do draft?
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: I did?
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 5: And he got an honorable mention for drafting.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he wasn't a draft, but then he famous. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: I forgot about that. Not good enough for award, but
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: good enough to say, thank you. What did you guys think?
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: What were your what your thoughts on drift?
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: You, well, we're not going to go like deep deep
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: into it, but kind of like your.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: Thoughts pleasantly surprised. I thought, you know, it's clear marks
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: put a lot of time into it, a lot of
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: thought into it, probably a lot of money into it,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: and it ran wonderfully. It was pretty neat. I've I've
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: only drafted in like online formats for like Magic, and
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: then there's Eternal, which is like an asynchronous draft, like
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: just janky stuff. No, they've never I don't think they've
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: ever bothered to try one, so my experience is super limited.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed it a whole bunch, and I mean, you
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: sort of draft.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 5: In that are Stone.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well there's not even the illusion of competing with
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: other players though with the left and the right. I
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: had Boat on the left of me. Sorry, now I'm
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: getting into details. And he's a magic guy, so I'm like, oh,
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: he's gonna do some like three D chests on me.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: He did terrible, so obviously I'm just a natural, just
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: a natural one.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 4: I will counter that. The one person who's actually missing
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 4: from our count Arcanas. So the three eventual winners were
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 4: Pubbly Perfect and then shadow Melt. Shadow Meld actually ran
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 4: our group. He was sitting right to the right of me.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 4: As someone who actually runs YouTube on drafting, that that's
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 4: huge advantage. He also happened to be in Marcus's playgroup
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 4: because he's down from Florida and had practiced, so I
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 4: would argue that having run draft before there is an advantage.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 4: But super fun, enjoyable. We had a little bit of
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 4: a mix up with where one of the pods, one
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 4: of the groups of three cards ended up at the end,
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 4: so I know on our way home we were talking
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 4: about different variants because I think that opening a pod
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 4: and having like for the most part, there's three good cards.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 4: But if you have three really good cards twelve plus
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 4: cards or in DM three six cards or three five
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 4: cards versus going ahead and having some variance there where
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 4: it's a little bit less. Was a little bit of
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 4: an issue, but outside of that, it still was really
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 4: really enjoyable. I would play it again. I thought that
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 4: there's definitely some advantage from having drafted previously. But I
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 4: enjoyed it. I had fun. The games did not seem
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 4: super close. First two games were complete blowouts, and then
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 4: the third game actually was a blowout against me for
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 4: Smell just absolutely destroyed me. So enjoyable, playable. I had
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 4: fun with it. I went for something. I tried it.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 4: It was a different way to play Keyforde.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I I will give Draft two thumbs up. I
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: really really really enjoyed Draft, and for me it was
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: kind of the highlight of the weekend. It did for
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: me at least rival team Events. I'm not saying I
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: wouldn't like to see team Events come back, because I
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: really really, really really would so if we could ever
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: bring those back, that'd be great. But Draft was phenomenal,
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: Like I thought, again, Marcus put a lot of time
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: and a lot of effort into this a little clunky,
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 2: but overall a lot of fun placing pips, going through
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: and finding like a lot of that stuff. Like finally, like,
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: oh shit, I made a mistake. I didn't want to
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: put that.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 4: I did, okay in that manner. How many house pips
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 4: were in all of your pods that you have no idea?
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 2: Devin was on my right so round one.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 4: An did you see did you see any?
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: Pete? Sorry, that's yes, No, I think I heard of
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: one in our entire pod.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 4: Because yeah, Pete, you and I were in the pod.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 4: There was one Chevelle which had the double shadows pips.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 4: We did not see it. Outside of that. I actually
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 4: ran a deck with no pips at all. There were
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 4: no no, no, there were no help there were no
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 4: pips all. I actually I actually drafted imperfect who one
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 4: also had a deck with no enhanced pips. I went
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 4: for value off of the cards. There were two cards
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 4: that I drafted which had amber and then the plus
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 4: one counters or the damage pips from Mars. But it
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 4: just wasn't strong enough. It didn't really matter and it
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 4: would not have mattered in the final final bet. In
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 4: my opinion, I think for d M, I think that
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 4: capture and like Geistoid and Skybourne seem really powerful. And
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 4: then shadows with the steel those three we ended up.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: There were old well who said they had not the
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: direction I went at all.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm saying that, yeah, for us, there were six
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 4: people who said they picked shadows, and so somehow we
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 4: ended up with seven pods of shadows. So people were
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 4: confused by that. But outside of that, it was still
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 4: a very, very enjoyable experience. But we saw a lot
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 4: of shadows, so there was a lot of steel and
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 4: Geistoid sending Amber over from capture to get rid of
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 4: it right away is powerful.
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was my favorite part. Yeah, being able to
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: play story you want it, yep.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if you never see if you never see cards
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 4: that have pips, it just doesn't matter.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, as I I had Hobo to my right,
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: so I never saw pips the first time round. I
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: know he opened up his pack. One was two old switcherouse.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: And a.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: I'm drawing a blank out of ideas. So and that
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 2: was the only switcher Ruse. I guess that were in
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: the hole the whole all of them, because I never
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 2: I never saw another one played against me or got one.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 2: Uh and my my pack two was triple open the
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: seals and I grabbed them all. I was like, these
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: aren't these aren't going anywhere?
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: What? Yeah?
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: I had three because three discard pips a piece. So
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: I ended up screwing up and losing place because you
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: are drafting a lot of cards. Who got the big fish?
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know. I didn't take it.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 4: Someone who couldn't play.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: Like I'm hate drafting.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: Two of the people that I talked to were like,
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: I'm hate drafting shadows, and I'm like, great, That's why
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: I saw notion because that's how I started out. But then,
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: like I had so many cards in my pile, I
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 2: lost track at.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 5: A certain point.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: So I ended up having three what did he call them,
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: oogie boogie cards or boo boo card booboo the clown cards.
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: I don't remembers cards.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 5: Come call them wookies.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 2: I feel like I missed opportunity there, right, but hey,
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 2: you know whatever, Like, but it didn't matter because I
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 2: had nine discard pips. My third house was Oberos. I
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 2: never played Obarros. I had was draw cards and discard cards.
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 4: I just leaned into three blank checks. So blank check
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 4: has an amber shadows action. Each player shuffles their archives
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 4: and discard, pile into their discard the top five cards
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 4: of your opponent's deck, play the top card of their deck.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: Guys, I don't think I dropped a creature until we
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: were down to the nitty, until it was all that
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: was left. If it, if it had an ember pip
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: on it, it was in the house I was playing.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: I took it.
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: Both of me and Devin's like, we'll play creatures eventually.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not taking any if I don't have to. So yeah,
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: it was neither of you guys won. So no, we didn't,
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: but weird strategy. The guy that did also had the
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: same strategy we did. So you guys ready for some
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: cool information before we wrap it up. I was just
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 2: checking the ac email here.
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 4: Yes. Outside of that, I would say that we did
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 4: go out Saturday night, so we went to Crack Fox
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 4: and Hair of the Dog. So we got to play
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 4: some some bags where apparently not everyone knew who how
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 4: to play bags or had played bags before, so that
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 4: was fun. Yeah, we got to hear some karaoke, even
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 4: though Wookie did not go ahead and come through for us, and.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 2: Soon I was so tired, and I'm like, I am
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: not waiting all the woe.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 4: I pulled this sheep, I'll do karaoke.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: No, well, I was not waiting twenty people. That was
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: not happening.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was true. We would have been there till time.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 2: I was like, I'm fucking seepee uh please thank me
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 2: to a bed now, and then ended up because everyone
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 2: was in the place I was sleeping. I ended up
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: staying up for another two hours anyway, so it really
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 2: didn't matter. But fun fact we are. We are ranked
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: in Spreaker in a few categories, and I found this
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 2: kind of interesting. So you guys ready for this, all right?
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: So in the position of leisure, we are ranked number
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 2: one in Peru. We're huge in Peru, guys, Yes, Peru.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 2: And in leisure we are ranked number forty one in
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 2: the Philippines. Cool stuff, all right, cool stuff. I thought
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 2: it was cool. In the in the category of games, again,
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: ranked number one in Peru. Somebody's just got us on
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: repeat in Peru, number six in the Philippines, number eighty
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: one in Sweden, number ninety two in Denmark, number one
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: o three in the Netherlands. Boys, we're gonna need you
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: to rank that up. Yeah, one O seven in France,
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 2: one thirteen in Spain and one twenty nine in Ukraine.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: Sounds like we're the real Nordic Nordic podcast.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just saying that we got Lord Judo and
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 2: another Netherlands. I know they don't they need to start
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 2: cole and yeah, one O three we can get that up.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: So that was fun. And then Gale, our our itty
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: bitty little show is ranked that high in some of
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 2: these countries. So, and in games and leisure of all things,
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 2: which are pretty competitive categories. Loves both those things, games
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 2: and leisure.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: I do too. Weird story favorite, they're my favorite.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 2: They're my favorite too, But anything else we got to say,
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: uh boys to team move hardcasts, Kyley.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: I want to drop one controversial thing right real quick though,
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: with the the late notice on the ublier, I hope
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: they always have a format that only gets announced like five,
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: four or three days ahead of the vaults. To me
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: that that was wonderful. It didn't work out because apparently
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: still people had time to gather. They're really competitive decks
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: and I didn't do well. But I like that there
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: should be one day where they just announced at the
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: last minute. That's my opinion. There should be a subpoint outside. Well,
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: not like same day surprise, but like before you get
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: on your flight surprise. Oh so it's it's for it's
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: for the people that hang out of the piles.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: For like whatever you got, just like rolling around in.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 5: Your actually the organized yeah, yeah, you could find something
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 5: in it.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 4: True true story. I could not find one of my
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 4: Ubiliot amber Sky's decks. And I literally I have everything
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 4: organized by set alphabetical order. I went through the decks
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 4: that were still in my pile from stores and I'm like,
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 4: where is this deck?
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: And I could not Is it in my basement?
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 4: No? No, because typically my decks do not go to
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 4: you like everyone else. This deck was a store named
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 4: deck and it was in the box that I had
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 4: put over on the side. You know how they have
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 4: some uh store name decks. That's where it was nice
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 4: and that's why I could not find it. And I
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 4: woke up in the middle of the I and go, aha,
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 4: I know where this deck is.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: Seven hours a.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 4: Reason not to go ahead and sort it anywhere else.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 4: Just put it in the pile with the box and
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 4: I would have been smart. I lost.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 2: Oh it was fun though, I don't know if I
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 2: want to do a thing with should we do a
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 2: partnership with Doctor Squatch?
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know. That's a big one that makes soap.
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 4: We did get to go ahead and actually showcase our
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 4: new sponsors.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well the rest of you.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 4: But I also got to showcase it in the top
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 4: eight sealed as I got my pitcher, So there you
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 4: go for it. It was amazing from a lord.
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta get I gotta get the new draft
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 2: score logo roll in here and short shortly so we
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 2: can put that on there too. One of these days
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 2: I'll get my life together, probably not today. But any
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 2: other thoughts that we have from the event, I mean,
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 2: I thought it was it was well put together. I
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: thought all the event, all the side events were were
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 2: done well and we didn't really have any snaffoos. Tangent
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: time was off the charts, ah, anything else that I messed.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: To blame.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 8: The biggest thing for the side events is they got
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 8: to push that list out more than a week before
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 8: the event, two or three weeks in minimum.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 7: We had two weeks for Portland. I think that's sufficient.
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 7: What we had for for Saint Louis was was not enough.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: So five days.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 8: I know, I know that there was some something is
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 8: going on behind the scenes with uncertainty of if they
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 8: could run draft, and they didn't want to push a
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 8: list if they weren't certain they could actually run all
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 8: three events they said they were going to run.
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 7: I appreciate that, but they still need to get the
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 7: list out there soon.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 2: I would agree have something. I mean, even if you
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 2: can't do draft, like.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 8: If you if you can't commit to every single day, see,
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 8: this is at least what we're doing on Friday, second.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: Two of the three days. Yeah, because those those would
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 2: have had to have been known well beforehand. I would assume.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 4: I was pleasantly this.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 5: Judging.
• 1:40:19

• 1:40:41
  Speaker 2: know if anybody else did either, clearly not.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 5: The first game was streamed and the opponent asked for them.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 5: They asked for him not to use his tokens already comply.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 2: He never had to. I know, it was just he
