That was a great episode! Your swashbuckler and pirate cards were textbook examples of marriage between theme and mechanics

Big thanks to Cap'n Hornswoggle for stepping in so last minute for me. I think he did a wonderful job!

THE WATER CUPS NEAR ALL THE TECHNOLOGY IS GIVING ME SUCH ANXIETY

I think all of the Rosetta heroes will different young and old abilities. LSS was probably tired of trying to balance the CC abilities with sealed/draft (more-so than I think for blitz)

Y'all are straight GASLIGHTING me with that "I had such a bad time at nats" nonsense. Joel said "we're so back" at least TWENTY times while he was chowing down on mozzarella beef and grilled cinnamon pineapple celebrating he and Fuzzy's day 2, MEANWHILE I was at the other end of the table with my 0-4 CC performance and NARY a complaint! And Fuzzy, it's FOGAO GAUCHO. Foe-gao Gao-cho. You musta still had some bacon-wrapped filet mignon in your mouth when you when you recorded this because that wasn't English nor Portuguese that came outta you!

It was fun to play as a team with Fuzzy and Joel! I just felt like a letdown with my sealed performance I'm sorry guys ; o;

As soon as Clark broke out into that cadence I was like "Is this that Robert Frost poem?" So your reference was not all lost.

Congrats on 100 subs!

In terms of sealed power level, I think this format is one of the lowest in raw power level, making it a good testing bed for a higher consistency limited. The damage output per turn isn't very high, and all three heroes have a big subtheme of 1 power attacks. While the increased consistency of 8 pack sealed works for this set, I imagine if they tested out these changes in HVY (with less sideboard options and hero-specific counters and more raw power) it would be much less well recieved since games would go much faster and be way more swingy. Good option, but 8 pack sealed seems like something that would drastically affect how maps are laid out and would really need to be baked into their set design decisions if they want to go forward with 8 pack as the default.

THIS IS SHWOOM

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode!! Would def be in for more SMORGASBORD

Prismatic Leyline actually seems pretty good in Arakni Solitary Confinement. It makes all of the different stealth card colors to 4 breakpoint.

You make my day. Thanks for all those insight .

When you talk about your experience as a new player picking up thr Boltyn blitz deck really makes me scratch my head at why they picked him as the next CC stater deck after Kayo.. he is not a beginner friendly hero

The command and conquer cutting discourse is real, valid point from Mr Clarke

😮

Illusionist is such a game warping class like Wizard. Most classes have to dedicate 3-5 popper slots and then 3 slots for AB which leaves little room for much else. Also Dromai’s ability is OP. Play a red to grant every dragon go again is gross. JW said he wanted to scale back weapons and heroes that cheat on action points. Dromai can easily do 5+

Welll done steaks?!😱😱😱

This was a fun contest - must have been a nightmare to judge! Glad to have stood out in a field of shadow cards haha

im really proud to get two honorable mentions :)

Thank you Fuzzy, Joel, and Clark for picking my card design Cloak of Concealment! I had a Ton of fun coming up with ideas for this contest. I feel like a few weeks after submitting Nuu was spoiled for Part the Mistveil and I can’t wait to see all the new cards. I could only imagine how fun it was to go through all of the submissions and I have to say the Kassai spec converting money would be sick in her deck. I have always dreamed of working as a card designer so this is very validating for me. This community is amazing!

FIRSTEST?!😂

Go Riptide!

Yes as Riptide and Vynnset player i think both of them need some love.

Great episode, guys. Looking forward to the contest results, and your reactions to the new set's mechanics once we have all the information.

First??

I'm glad Clarke had a positive experience with Pummel against a Bravo because I always feel like I'm personally bullying him when he sees me play mine lol

me all calling-pop a clark play wild ride, draw discard make a clark.

First

"flesh and blood is so much more about the decision you should make throughout the game and how it impacts your late game and see if you can close it out" Crazy how spot on this is, given the craziness of the last round of PTLA that we JUST had.

The slow introduction of vital kit pieces over multiple sets feels like Boltyn syndrome. That man has gotten a Legendary like 4 sets in a row + a whole supplemental set to help him actually feel like a fully realised hero. It almost feels like they're trying to reward early adopters, but they're doing it wrong.

P r o m o s m

"I'm running a two of cause I can't find the third!" Really hit the soul on that one. Also as an Australian, we have a lot of RTNs running in my state, but instead of playing a draft event, me and my brother are driving 5 and a half hours to go to another CC event in a different state. Good fun, should be an awesome time. But there are like, 10 events in the state over the course of the season.

Good episode!
