The video editing is so well done! I like the different camera angels showing your reactions and the cards shown on screen whenever it was played or mentioned. I especially enjoyed the replays/recap at the end of the video. Please make more of these videos. Cheers!

Just bought a bunch of destiny last week to build a few decks for my friends and I, this series is wonderful

I had to step away from this game several years ago after my daughter was born and recently found these starters for super cheap and looking to have a fun but causal experience with them. So this video is perfect for helping to put a couple decks together to throw myself back into it.

Really love watching this format of videos, from L5R, through Netrunner and now this. The interaction between Zach and Steven is a great insight and what really helps us understand the nature of these games, and the themes. There really is nothing else like this available out there. Truly "Gaming Evolved". Good work guys...keep it up!

I wanted to thank you for the nice work about Destiny. I'll start playing with a friend soon, we both purchased the 2 player set and we purchased a legacy booster box so we'll split the content and trade the cards that we don't want. I'll build up a light side deck probably and my friend a dark side so trading will be useful. I can't wait! We'll be watching this video if we'll have troubles with rules and hopefully we'll build a good deck like yours. Best luck with your work :)

Team Covenant at the end went pretty well! We found some really good cards, my friend got the maul's lightsaber which i know costs big money. I have in my hands some good characters but few dice updgrades and double control cards so i can't really complete a more serious deck. I can't wait to see the next guide about advanced deck building... I have an elite Hondo Ohnaka to fit somewhere and i can't wait. I think he's pretty good, thoughts?

Hi guys! Amazing content! You people are fine entertainers for sure! Listen, I wanted to ask if you could tell me... what size are your playing mats? I'd love to get one for my card/ board games, but I'm struggling with choosing the size. Yours seem about the right one. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Thanks a lot for the reply! Sadly I live currently in the UK, so that'd be a bit expensive for me because of shipping. But you gave me the info I needed to start looking for mats on my own, cheers!

@ap315 6 жыл бұрын

Great stuff and another question. Why would you discard a card? Assuming it’s something you can’t use, like Stephen’s card that removes Zach’s melee dice which he didn’t have, then wouldn’t it make more sense to keep it and use it to reroll a die?

@teamcovenant 6 жыл бұрын

Great question Alan! This is something that we will go into a bit in our advanced deck building guide. Ultimately, every card can be discarded to re-roll dice. Having a card that can do anything is better than having a card that does nothing. Since you will not run out of cards in most games, getting rid of a card that is likely to be unable to do anything but be used for a re-roll increases the odds that you will have useful cards in your hand at any given point.

@ImaginEric 6 жыл бұрын

You could always research the type deck type/characters you want and buy the cards for the deck individually to play. You don’t have to buy the booster packs if you want to eliminate the collectible (addictive lol) nature.

Rexler Brath Going into a store or online and buying selected single cards at prices the market sets is gambling?

@ImaginEric 6 жыл бұрын

Rexler Brath The prices are set due to a) rarity and b) effect. Those aspects create the demand and alter the supply. It’s called economics. If they sold assembled decks and sold them at different prices based on the deck popularity, how would that be gambling?

@ImaginEric 6 жыл бұрын

Rexler Brath It isn’t theory. You can buy singles from stores and assemble your own decks. That is the advice I gave the OP.

@felizpanda 6 жыл бұрын

Rexler Brath Regardless of the gambling point, I take issue with you saying TC only covers the game because it's collectible. The majority of their content, including the last two learn to play series are about games (L5R and Netrunner) that have no product randomization at all. Destiny is just the one collectible game they actually really enjoy.

@ImaginEric 6 жыл бұрын

Your content are the best Destiny guides on the net. One question from a new player....in round 1, when there were 3 ranged damage dice showing, only 2 were played. Can you not resolve all 3 at once? Thanks!

@ImaginEric 6 жыл бұрын

Just watched through to the end and kind of answered my question. I was under the impression you could resolve all matching dice at once. So you can only resolve one type at a time with any matching modifiers, right?

@kyseegers7069 6 жыл бұрын

That is correct

@kyseegers7069 6 жыл бұрын

And to your first question, one of the ranged damage had a resource cost and Zach did not have the resource. He had to wait until he got the resource to resolve that damage.

@ImaginEric 6 жыл бұрын

Ky Seegers So I roll 2 ranged, 2 ranged and +2 ranged. I can only resolve those three dice over the course of 2 actions right? (I bought the game for my 9yo son and me, and we are figuring it out.) Thank you!

@felizpanda 6 жыл бұрын

thrilljammin Wait, no. You were right the first time: you can resolve all matching symbols in a single action. The reason Zack couldn't was because one of those 2 damage sides had a 1 resource cost and he had no resources. The reason he didn't get a resource first and then resolve all 3 is that Steven had a disrupt showing and doing it in the order he did allowed him to claim the battlefield.

At the 23:00 mark you remove 2 die. Can you explain why? I thought you redeem all of a certain damage at one time. You also remove an upgrade on Poe and 1 of Han's die.

@TylerRagghianti 6 жыл бұрын

Ah. Completely missed the 1 resource cost. That makes sense now.

@teamcovenant 6 жыл бұрын

Great question Tyler. When Zach removed the two ranged damage dice in order to damage Kylo, he did not remove the third ranged damage die because it has a 1 resource cost. Then, after Steven claimed the battlefield, Zach resolved the 1 resource die of the speeder upgrade, and resolved the remaining ranged damage dice.

@Ducati11111 6 жыл бұрын

Wait, how do you have 2 die on Han and Poe if you just used the 2 player and the other starter decks? You had to get some boosters to get the extra dice.

“One of your dice” is grammatically correct, as is “an opponent’s character die” The first is plural, the second is singular

It should be in the rulebook. Passing is a strong option when you need to wait a turn and see what your opponent does, like if you are holding control cards!

This games confusing at times. I built a (what I was thought a killer deck) with two neutral characters because I was told I can use all 3 fractions (hero, vill, and neutral) but was told that's wrong. Then I watch you guys putting different colored cards on characters who aren't that color. So confusing to learn.

@teamcovenant 5 жыл бұрын

It definitely can be! The rules there are, you can only bring cards that match the color and faction of characters you have, and except for Draft, you cannot have a team with Hero and Villian on it. So you can include blue and red cards if you have Rey and Poe in your deck, but some cards say "Blue Character Only" on them, ie... Force Wave. That is the only time you are limited on where you can play a card. Let us know if you have more questions, and we hope you come to enjoy Destiny as much as we do! Cheers!
