And that entire time over the 16 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,840 past decades of friendship, I have been begging to come on as 17 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,920 a guest for pitch and predictions for high seas. 18 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,520 Facts. He's nothing if not persistent. 19 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,360 It was all the long games. Get me here. 20 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,120 And what's crazy is that like, we're going to have two guests 21 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,360 today. Captain Hornswoggle has been 22 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,040 running a little late, but. Yeah, he's a busy man. 23 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,520 He can. He tends to be a little late on 24 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,440 the draw there, but he said he he was going to be here. 25 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:19,600 He assured us. Yeah. 26 00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:22,480 Fuzzy, could you give him a call to see how far out he is? 27 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:31,480 OK, Fuzzy, where are you boys? We're in our garage recording. 28 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,880 Captain Hornswoggle, where are you? 29 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,880 I can't find you. I'm walking down Magnolia Blvd. 30 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,480 and all I'm seeing is a playground with a bunch of 31 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:45,360 children about and I love birds biking across the the seaboard 32 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,120 and and trains in the distance. Wait, I think you got out there. 33 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:54,080 We have a Hornswoggle. There's skyscrapers and there's 34 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,800 trains and there's like, public transportation. 35 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,920 Where are you boys? Which line do I take to get to 36 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:03,000 the garage? Joel, does that sound like Long 37 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,160 Beach to you, Captain Hornswoggle? 38 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,120 Long Beach Long Beach, NY. Oh no. 39 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,640 Captain Hornswoggle. We're in Long Beach, CA. 40 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,760 Long Beach, CA that's on the other side of the continent. 41 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,960 Well, at least you have your geography right, Captain 42 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,800 Hornswoggle. Now that we figured out. 43 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,640 Damn. It I'm going to have to sail all 44 00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:31,880 the way around South America. It's not an easy. 45 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,360 Trip. You know what, Captain 46 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:34,680 Hornswoggle, I'll save you the trip. 47 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,960 Why don't you plan on coming back for the a future episode? 48 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,160 Like maybe when we cash in our pitch and predictions. 49 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,720 When will that be? Oh, like early June. 50 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,400 Oh, so I need to leave right now. 51 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,520 Why won't you make it? Oh, sorry, boys. 52 00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:55,720 I need to go. There's a crack in attacking 53 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,000 your ship. Get away. 54 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,040 Wait, where are some cannons? There's got to be cannons around 55 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,120 there, you little boy. Where's the cannon? 56 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,120 Get the spray bottle, Captain Hornswoggle. 57 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,960 Give it boy, I got to go. Well. 58 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:14,040 Good luck, bye bye. Damn he is so unreliable. 59 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,320 Holy shit, a Kraken. Oh yeah, he does. 60 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,040 He does that all the time. It's not a big deal to him. 61 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,600 Like right outside of New York, though. 62 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,440 Oh yeah, it might be a big deal to New York I. 63 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,400 Feel like those are chilly waters? 64 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,880 That seems more like a West Coast thing, you know? 65 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:32,120 Yeah, maybe it was just a whale. That would be so embarrassing 66 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,000 for him if he was that scared of a whale. 67 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,560 I don't know, it was attacking his ship. 68 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,680 Whales are pretty big creatures. They can sink a ship. 69 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,680 Well, I guess we should focus on our guest that is here today. 70 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,920 Hey, yeah. So we might as well talk about 71 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,400 what we're doing this episode, get right into it, not delay too 72 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,120 much longer. We were going to do some other 73 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,840 episode this week. We had all the notes prepared 74 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,680 and everything. It was a beggar. 75 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,000 And then spoilers came out and we. 76 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,320 Shredded the notes. You'll never get to hear that 77 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,400 episode again. Until next week. 78 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,520 But this week it's pitch and predictions, baby. 79 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,960 This time, we're trying to do it so early that LSS can't possibly 80 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,760 disrupt us with any more spoilers. 81 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,920 We just got a bunch of information leaked from the 82 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,960 world premiere, Taipei, right? So we've got some promos, we've 83 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,280 seen the heroes and that's about it. 84 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,960 And some Necromancer cards. Yeah, those immediately went 85 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,560 down, which is kind of signaling to me that they shouldn't have 86 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,320 gone up in the 1st. Place not before screenshotted 87 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,320 it. Not before the entire community 88 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:44,600 screenshotted those things. So if you don't know, the Pigeon 89 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,080 Predictions episode is where we make a bunch of predictions 90 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,640 about the upcoming set. I know it's very, very early to 91 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,040 be doing this. High Seas still isn't going to 92 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,560 come out for two months, but everyone's thinking about it. 93 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,600 So we want to hear your opinions. 94 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,680 What do you think is going to come out in the High Seas? 95 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,400 What are going to be some of the set mechanics? 96 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,280 Maybe some of the majestic designs for some of the heroes 97 00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:11,920 and their cards. And we've already been pulling 98 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,240 our Discord users on what they think is going to be in the set. 99 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,480 We can always hear your opinion. We always are looking for more 100 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,680 people chiming in with what they think is going to be in the set. 101 00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:24,400 But we're going to be showcasing some of those predictions in our 102 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:25,480 episode today. Yeah. 103 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,360 And if you also want to end up on the podcast, go ahead, join 104 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,160 our Discord, chat with us in there, join our Patreon. 105 00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:36,640 We always pull somebody out every single episode in our 106 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:41,680 Arsenal zone for that. But I think we are going to go 107 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,160 ahead and talk about specifically how are we going to 108 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,760 structure this episode. For today's episode, it's just 109 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,560 going to be the three sections that we'll be focusing on, which 110 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,920 are the three revealed classes, Necromancer, Ranger, and 111 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,200 Mechinologist respectively. But a lot of leeway given if our 112 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,720 predictions don't happen to be directly related to those 113 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,840 classes. Each host will be given the 114 00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:04,800 opportunity to make 4 main predictions over the course of 115 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,480 the episode. We'll also be peppering in 116 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,200 predictions from our Discord users. 117 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,240 So thank you to everyone who was on a Discord today making those 118 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,520 predictions. And once the set releases in 119 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,040 about 2 1/2 months time, we'll rehash all our predictions to 120 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,360 see who knows LSS the best or the least. 121 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,440 So let's jump into Red Pitch, which is probably the most 122 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,320 exciting class to talk about Necromancer AW. 123 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,040 Man. So fuzzy, what's your prediction 124 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,240 for the Necromancer class? So we just saw that they 125 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,640 released a couple of different allies for necromancer as well 126 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,400 as the Compass of Sunken Depths which is a offhand. 127 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,040 So I'd like to make a prediction about the main hand weapon that 128 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,600 Gravy Bones is going to be printed with. 129 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,520 I think there's going to be a pirate necromancer weapon that 130 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,960 will not do anything without any allies on board in the same way 131 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,400 that they're illusionist weapons that don't do anything without 132 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,840 allies on the board. Like Jeromey has her scepter 133 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,080 that gives all of her Dragons the ability to attack I think 134 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,400 while the allies don't need something like that because they 135 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,680 already have the ability to attack, I think there's going to 136 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,560 be some buff to the allies that gravy bones main hand weapon is 137 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,720 going to give. Interesting. 138 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,760 Or maybe it would attack based on the number of allies you have 139 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,440 or something. Or like tap an ally to do 140 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,280 something but if you don't have an ally that weapon ain't going 141 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,720 to do shit. Interesting. 142 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,600 I think that makes a lot of sense for like like you noted 143 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:33,880 how we've seen ally based heroes balanced in the past where like 144 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,600 this is someone who has a lot of recursion built into their kit 145 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,920 theoretically, right? Like being able to like pull 146 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,240 things from the graveyard, lots of card advantage, lots of 147 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,120 opportunities to play things. And so I like that just needs to 148 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,320 be curbed a little bit. Like, OK, you can have some good 149 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,880 late game, but you can't have like the crazy long late game of 150 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,960 also being able to attack relentlessly. 151 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,680 I don't. Think they're ever going to 152 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,160 return to the drum? I think of like if you pitch a 153 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,560 yellow or a card with watery Grave, all your allies will have 154 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,360 go again. I don't think they're ever going 155 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,360 to return to that level of like widespread go. 156 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,160 Again, you know, I'm definitely expecting something more 157 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,280 balanced. It definitely could be like AI 158 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,600 could see like a pay to your next ally attack has go again 159 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,720 kind of thing. But I also very easily see it 160 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,600 being a weapon. If Necromancer is more focused 161 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:25,400 on attack actions, I can see like using the weapon sort of as 162 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,880 where an ally attack would go if you don't have enough allies on 163 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,360 board, right? Yes. 164 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,520 Now I will say I don't believe that this will be the only 165 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,240 weapon Gravy Bones will have access to, but I do think it'll 166 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,919 be like his signature weapon, the pirate necromancer weapon 167 00:08:38,919 --> 00:08:40,799 specifically. I actually do think there might 168 00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:43,200 be another alternative for him in the form of like, like a 169 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,000 pirate, like a generic pirate weapon, like a cutlass or 170 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:46,920 something. Yeah. 171 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,240 What if it's like a weapon with attack value, When it hits your 172 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,480 next ally, attack gets go again. But then it would have to have 173 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,520 go again itself, sure. So then I guess in like. 174 00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:00,320 Giving weapons go again. In that situation my prediction 175 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,600 would be wrong because I'm putting my money on the attack. 176 00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:06,520 The weapon will do nothing unless you have an ally on 177 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,160 board. Yeah, that's fair. 178 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,320 I mean, I would still love a weapon like that, don't get me 179 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,240 wrong. I'd be like, really happy to be 180 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,720 wrong, you know? All right, let's move on now to 181 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,400 a fan prediction. That lemur, It's earth Bending 182 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,920 is a user in our Discord and they made the prediction that 183 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,400 Gravy Bones will get a specialization that lets him 184 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,960 mill cards from his own deck, with bonus points if it's an X 185 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:36,920 or an X + 1 resource cost. I love me my X spells so I like 186 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,720 this. I just love the idea of like you 187 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,120 pass over to gravy and they're like, all right, I cast a spell 188 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,520 X's nine, I'm going to mill 9 cards and you're like, oh fuck, 189 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,480 Oh no, there's no way they're popping off. 190 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,280 It's a very very cool idea, but the self mill definitely seems 191 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,840 like an important thing, especially if gold is going to 192 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,880 be a gated mechanic. Also shout out to that lemur. 193 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,080 It's earth bending for liking the podcast so much that he 194 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,920 decided to move in with two of the hosts. 195 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,080 I I'm really excited for like this side of the necromancer 196 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,200 because for those who don't know, like I played dredge in 197 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,720 magic. That was like the last real 198 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,920 Magic deck that I played and I loved it and like Fuzzy got me a 199 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,800 chain blitz deck to start me off because it played into some of 200 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,520 those dredge mechanics. So I'm really excited at the 201 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,840 idea of like this self milling kind of thing. 202 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,520 It feels a little bit different than like what we've seen in 203 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,440 brute with like the discard or with playing from banish and 204 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,160 stuff with Shadow. It's like, give me some good old 205 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,480 fashioned in the graveyard dirt cards, you know? 206 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,400 Dirt Cards talent sure does love his dirt. 207 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,600 Give me scrap. How about you Clark? 208 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,280 Did you have any thoughts about what Necromancer could look like 209 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,960 or what what cards they could have? 210 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,440 No, I'm going to instead talk about how I think heroes are 211 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,400 going to start interacting with Necromancer in the form of hate 212 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:04,240 cards, so Necromancer is able to play cards from graveyard. 213 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,200 And I think we all know just how incredibly broken that can be in 214 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,480 a good TCG, right? We already see how dangerous it 215 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,440 is with some of Levi's things, right? 216 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,160 With Plasma Fet in the bandage zone, which already kind of has 217 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,640 an extra hoop to jump through and like an extra hard hoop to 218 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,280 even get that ability. But even like Shadow Rum Horror, 219 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,000 you banish those three sixes. Like that ability to get free 220 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,680 card value from graveyard is so, so powerful. 221 00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:34,200 We've seen it with Cyb and LSS said we don't think there's 222 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,600 enough hate for this particular strategy, so we're going to ban 223 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,440 the Blues. So what hate is coming? 224 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,080 We've already seen grave keeping shown as a possible promo which 225 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,920 banishes cards from graveyard. But banishing cards from 226 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,240 graveyard and making that something to as a generic to 227 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:54,320 give to everybody can I think be extra destructive to certain 228 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,320 deck archetypes. But not flipping cards in 229 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,160 graveyard upside down. When watery grave goes to 230 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,240 graveyard it flips upside down, meaning it no longer has that 231 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,880 front text, no longer has water grave, and you can no longer 232 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:12,200 cast it from graveyard. Which is what gravy bones 233 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,240 ability allows him to do. So by turning it face down you 234 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,880 remove the watery grave ability, no longer castable, but it stays 235 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,720 in graveyard. I think they're going to give 236 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,680 that to like A2 caustics majestic or like a non attack 237 00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:26,960 action card. Cyb loses its name, but you 238 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,880 don't need to worry about all this banish zone interaction 239 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,480 effect going on. So it would do an effective job 240 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,840 of hating on Cyd, of hating on Necromancer, any future 241 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:42,440 graveyard strategies, but it would still allow these other 242 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,080 strategies to still have some play and have some effect into 243 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:47,640 it. I can't imagine trying to pick 244 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,400 random cards out of my graveyard when some of them are face up 245 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,400 and some of them are face down. Like that sounds. 246 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,320 But Levi already deals with some clunky ass shit so. 247 00:12:55,560 --> 00:12:58,320 Very very true actually having face down cards in graveyard for 248 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,480 Levi it does sound like a nightmare but flipping cards in 249 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,560 graveyard upside down I think is like a very efficient hate. 250 00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:09,560 Opportunity As somebody who would be playing into Levia, I 251 00:13:09,560 --> 00:13:12,560 would way rather be like adding these misses into their 252 00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:15,480 graveyard rather than just like banishing straight out. 253 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,600 You know, like if there's a grave keeping where it vanishes 254 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,200 versus grave keeping where it flips, like I'm adding the 255 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,280 misses in there, baby. I'm hoping for that little bit 256 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,720 of extra luck. I really like this prediction 257 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,680 because it's it's a very elegant solution of future proofing this 258 00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:31,320 type of hate with without like you said, just invalidating like 259 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,240 so many of the strategies that I think they're getting more 260 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,880 comfortable iterating on like Shadow Roomblade. 261 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,520 Obviously Vincent's been getting some power, and if they ever 262 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,760 want above her, they're going to have to come up with ways to 263 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,960 deal with graveyard and banish without completely gimping her 264 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,120 or anybody else who deals with graveyard synergies like Kasai 265 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,200 specifically or loyalty beyond the grave. 266 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,960 There's a lot of graveyard synergy going on right now, but 267 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,640 I can't imagine they would wanna pigeonhole, yeah, pigeonhole all 268 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:04,000 these designs so abruptly. But at the exact same time fuzzy 269 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,320 like you said, some cards in graveyard becoming face down. 270 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,400 Like then how does Levaya remember which cards are face 271 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:11,600 down? Because once it's face down, 272 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,280 there's no longer public information. 273 00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:15,880 So it's not like you can retroactively go back after the 274 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,160 bandage. Right now, what Levaya players 275 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,920 are doing So they pick up their graveyard, they shuffle it and 276 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,480 then they present it face down to the opponent to select cards. 277 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,320 Yeah, listeners, we had actually a pretty lengthy conversation 278 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,120 right before recording. We were all arguing about what 279 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,800 this means for the future of the game and what and the set. 280 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,800 Like when we have cards face down in graveyard. 281 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,120 We've never really had that before. 282 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,520 I would expect a little bit like a rules document being a little 283 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,840 rules update on the release of the set. 284 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,880 Like what does it mean to be face down in graveyard? 285 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,160 I I think that I'm going to go on record and say that I'm 286 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,280 almost on the other side of this where I think that there's 287 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,120 something else going on here that we're missing. 288 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,720 Like maybe face down cards in graveyard is just relegated to 289 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,520 watery grave and it's not about like any kind of graveyard hit 290 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:57,920 because they're essentially creating a new zone. 291 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,560 We already have graveyard and then banished, which is supposed 292 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,640 to function as that kind of it's out of the graveyard, it's out 293 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,560 of the game. And then we also have face down 294 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,440 banish. So this is essentially creating 295 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,640 a fourth zone where things are not in hand or in play. 296 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,800 And so I think like I think it's going to be very intentional. 297 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,200 I think that there's a reason why they don't say banish this 298 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,520 whenever it goes to your graveyard. 299 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,120 So maybe necromancer cares about banishing cards from graveyard. 300 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,560 Maybe there's a double side to these allies and there's another 301 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,360 way that they can be interacted with in the graveyard once they 302 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,640 go there. But but I do think that it's 303 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,840 going to be more relegated. It's going to be kind of, it 304 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,440 seems almost crucial. I would go so far and say that 305 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,280 this is going to be a key part of like what Gravy Bones is 306 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,920 wanting to do. It involves these cards being 307 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,840 faced down in some way. But I do have my own prediction 308 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,800 for Necromancer. Before we move on to yellow 309 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,840 pitch, I have one more prediction I want to make for 310 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,440 Necromancer You're. Cashing in your bonus now. 311 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,880 Yes, I get to make one extra prediction and one extra pitch. 312 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,440 That'll be now. I think there's going to be a 313 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,000 little monkey ally card somewhere in the set, and I 314 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,320 think it's probably Necromancer. Damn it, that's such a home run 315 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,440 prediction. Why didn't I think of that one? 316 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,360 Little best bud, Little bone monkey. 317 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,080 You're a little monkey. The way Ella says they will name 318 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,800 it Monkey. They'll have some other name, 319 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,160 like Fred. There's lots of little monkeys 320 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,720 that you see in pirate media. I think it'd be silly if they 321 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,400 didn't include a monkey ally in the set. 322 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,640 And so far the only confirmation we've had for allies is in the 323 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,800 Necromancer class. I think there's definitely a 324 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,040 chance we see allies in other places, but somewhere there's 325 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,440 going to be a monkey ally. That's kind of a fast 1. 326 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:41,800 I don't have a whole lot to say about it. 327 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,600 Maybe it steals gold from other players. 328 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:44,440 That'd be really. Cute. 329 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,680 Oh, maybe it's time they print Ragavan in Flushing. 330 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:56,840 Please, dear God, no. So I I want to take a a slightly 331 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,360 different look at the Necromancer class for my 332 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,600 prediction. There's been a lot of talk over 333 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,760 what the watery grave keyboard is, but I think that's something 334 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,680 we're going to see more generally. 335 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:12,560 Mechanically represented in the Necromancer class is cards that 336 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,599 care about the amount of other cards that share a name with it 337 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,640 in the graveyard, like what we've seen with Count Your 338 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,000 Blessings, right? And we all love, Count your 339 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:22,720 blessings. But. 340 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,319 That's like the one element that count your blessings. 341 00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:27,440 Like actually like. Yeah, right. 342 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,840 Like it. It leads to, I think something 343 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,040 that Count your Blessings does bring is this really like 344 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,040 lopsided gameplay that can be really fun, right? 345 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,120 Where it's like your first couple of casts, you're you're 346 00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:38,040 not getting a lot of great value on that. 347 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,120 But it's not about those first couple of casts. 348 00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:45,040 It's about the longevity of the game and this kind of steady 349 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,680 pressure that can build up. And that feels very Necromancer 350 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,480 Y to me, right? That feels like here's the 351 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,280 zombie horde slowly coming in. It's persistent, it's there. 352 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,760 And I think that cards like this could be a really good way to 353 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,400 tap into that very easily, right? 354 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,080 I mean like I can see an ally creator that makes the amount of 355 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,040 allies equal to cards with the name in graveyard. 356 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,920 And that is terrifying to me as a Ranger player, but it's 357 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:10,800 exactly that, right? Yeah. 358 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,760 Your first cast is not going to be rake the embers, but you 359 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,960 start hitting that 3rd, 4th, 5th, God forbid your 9th cast of 360 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,400 that, right? Yeah. 361 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,120 But you got to get there 1st. And if you have a bunch of 362 00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:21,480 pearls, you know, if you have a bunch of no blocks like what 363 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,920 Fuzzy suggested, who knows, maybe that's where they end up. 364 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,920 But yeah, I really like that mechanic. 365 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,920 And I would love to see that in Necromancer. 366 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,840 I think fits well. Flavor Fleet seems like a cool 367 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,200 mechanical space that hasn't been fully explored in the game 368 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,000 yet. Joel, what do you got for your 369 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:40,120 prediction necromancer style? So what we've seen so far from 370 00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:43,600 the Necromancer is the Blue Majestic, which is chart the 371 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,360 high seas. That's your goal generation. 372 00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:48,000 And it's also a way to pay for you some of your bigger allies, 373 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,480 like Chum, because he costs four, and Chum and the other 374 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,960 ally, Rigor Mortis. Rigor Mortis. 375 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,120 Yeah. I actually like that name. 376 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,000 That's a solid part. That's a solid. 377 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,680 That's a solid. I respect your game for sure. 378 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,400 So what they're missing is like this Red Majestic and I think in 379 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,440 line with the other control decks that we've seen, I think 380 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,880 it's going to be a juicy red attack action. 381 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,320 It's going to be like a four for 8/4 for 9, whatever with some 382 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,760 disruption. Because so far it seems like 383 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,520 it's really hard to, number one, make gold as a necromancer and 384 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,160 also to get your allies into graveyard without just like, you 385 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,840 know, full blocking or looting a lot. 386 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,800 So I think they're going to need some way to carve out some tempo 387 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,520 for themselves in the early to mid game. 388 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,400 So I think, yeah, big red magic, just big red majestic attack 389 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:40,200 action. Sweet. 390 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,680 Yeah, I think that's a really good prediction because we've 391 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,680 seen a blue majestic, which hurt the high seas, the yellow 392 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,360 Majestic with CHUM and LSS loves their cycles. 393 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,760 Actually, I would say they don't love their cycles, but they've 394 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,920 been growing into loving their cycles. 395 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,800 We've seen more and more cycles as set design has gone on. 396 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,280 And so being like, well, here's a blue, here's a yellow, there's 397 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:04,000 a red. OK. 398 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,960 Here's my riff on that. What if the attack action is 399 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,600 like when it hits, each player destroys their hand and a pitch 400 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,880 zone? Oh, just like discard everything 401 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,520 it's. Just like blow up everything. 402 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,560 Like you pitch a bunch of watery grave things to play this and 403 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,800 you're destroying them, but also you're disrupting their attack. 404 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:22,920 Maybe it's not everything. Maybe they would. 405 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,320 Like to be on hit? Because that's what I said on 406 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,480 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 'Cause they you can't just like, 407 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,640 not like. Block, I could see that. 408 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:38,680 I I also think like it could have a number of like the tap or 409 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:43,160 flip mechanics to like get different bonuses, like sort of 410 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,640 like a levels of enlightenment type deal. 411 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,520 Like you do 1, you get this effect, you do 2, you get both 412 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,360 effects, you do 3, and now you're cooking with with guests. 413 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,680 I really like that. Like a modal ability, each one 414 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,000 asking you to tap an ally you control, and you can select up 415 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,920 to three. So all three presumably, yeah, 416 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,240 giving you a reward for having like 4 allies on the board, 417 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,240 because you can tap 3 attack with this, right? 418 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,800 And then also still attack with an ally after maybe? 419 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,800 Yeah, because if none of the allies have Go Again, you got to 420 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,160 have some way to cash in on when you do have multiple allies out 421 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:20,080 at one time. Yeah, and instead this would be 422 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,520 a good way of giving them extra power without just being another 423 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,600 Dromi where you swarm the board attack with a bunch of shit with 424 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:26,440 Go again. Yes. 425 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,080 I really think they want to stay away with that from Necromancer. 426 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,880 So I really love that prediction of having a majestic. 427 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,600 Well, hold on, this is starting to sound like two different 428 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,560 cards. It can be on the same card, but 429 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,400 it's kind of sounding like two different cards. 430 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:41,080 It could. Yeah. 431 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,120 No, you're not wrong. But a reward for having a big 432 00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:46,240 wide board state. Really nice. 433 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,400 Yeah, that's my prediction. We do have one last fan 434 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,680 prediction. And our good friend Natassis 435 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,920 mentioned that there will be cards in the set that either 436 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:01,720 have a cost of tapping your hero or that allow you to untap your 437 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,240 hero. And this is interesting because 438 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,360 it's the first time I think somebody's mentioned untapping 439 00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:10,040 your hero, which is a dangerous precedent. 440 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,800 We just introduced tapping and now we're like, all right, how 441 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,680 do we untap and start tapping some more? 442 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,960 Yeah, magic took a while to start letting people start 443 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,520 untapping shit, right? Well I guess what really like 444 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,680 appeals to me about this idea is that it doesn't automatically 445 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,840 untap like during your clean up step. 446 00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:30,280 So when you draw your hand, if your hero's tapped, it's just 447 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,480 going to be tapped until you find an effect. 448 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,560 That untapped say otherwise, right? 449 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,480 Like one, we're still assuming that the rule is tapping, and 450 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,120 assuming that like the rules behind tapping doesn't say 451 00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:42,760 untapped at the start of your turn. 452 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,520 Like, I'm not assuming, I'm wondering if that is what 453 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:47,760 they're going to do with it, you know? 454 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,960 I also really like the idea of like other cards that care about 455 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,560 tapping your hero specifically. It would make sense for that to 456 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,920 like only care about the hero ability and only beyond the hero 457 00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:04,200 ability, but I like the idea of if they're making it a more 458 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,200 thorough mechanic throughout the set. 459 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,280 Sure, Necromancer is going to be able to like, tap allies because 460 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,160 Necromancer has allies and we assume the other two won't. 461 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,280 What are you going to do? Tap your arrows and arsenal? 462 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:20,040 Tap your gold tokens? Weird weird shit like a 463 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,800 consistent tapping your hero and like the generic seems like a 464 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,120 cool and interesting thing to do. 465 00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:27,560 Yeah, there's a lot of fun ways you could go with it, or rather 466 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,680 have gone with it. We will see. 467 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,920 I think we're going to move on to yellow pitch. 468 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,120 We're going to make some predictions generally about the 469 00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:37,320 Ranger class now. And I can think of no other 470 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,560 person to give us our best first prediction than Talent, the 471 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,120 Ranger main. Oh man I am so excited guys. 472 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,880 I have not had Ranger in a main set since Outsiders, which was 473 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,640 the set that I started playing with. 474 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,600 And whenever you start playing a game, the set that you join with 475 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,000 doesn't count because that is just like that is part of the 476 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,040 established baseline. So this is the first time that 477 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,880 I've been able to see Ranger like really given attention and 478 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,280 given new tools. And be in the hype cycle and be 479 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,080 in. The hype cycle and we need it. 480 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,040 God, it's been so long. Outsiders is older than the 481 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,040 podcast because Dusted On was the first set that we talked 482 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,040 about. So it's been forever. 483 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,760 You've been the executive producer on this podcast longer 484 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,640 than Rangers have appeared in a set and. 485 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,160 I have had nothing to keep me going other than an expansion 486 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,240 slot every single class. Every single time on Armory 487 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:34,000 deck. So our talent, it's a sweet ass 488 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,720 expansion slot every set, every set. 489 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,360 Hold on to that thought for later. 490 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,920 So with this set, very, very excited. 491 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:49,080 So my first prediction for Ranger is that we are going to 492 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:53,360 get a cycle of two cost arrows. Oh, Neptune. 493 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:58,480 We have only ever gotten 22 cost arrows battering bolt that was 494 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,120 only made two cost as a as like a meme basically for LSS they're 495 00:25:02,120 --> 00:25:04,920 like this feels like an impactful effect. 496 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,920 We should make it 2 cost. And so they did. 497 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,080 And then they gave us an expansion slot with Murky Water. 498 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:13,480 I think it was also to give up Hopper to Ranger. 499 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,520 Sure, but that was the only one. I think they could have given us 500 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,000 a few more. Like I think they really 501 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,960 undershot how much Ranger needed those poppers. 502 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,680 Right, so now I do have a question. 503 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,080 Yes. What's a cycle? 504 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,840 Clark, I knew that you would ask that. 505 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,480 I came prepared. I worded my question very, very 506 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,440 carefully because in flesh and blood, a cycle can be a color 507 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,040 cycle, right? Yet red, yellow, blue. 508 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,360 It could also be like a mechanical cycle, like maybe 509 00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:42,400 there's like a red majestic 2 cost aero cycle like 1 destroys 510 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,280 arsenal, one discard a card from hand and 1 is like, I don't 511 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:46,600 know, kill an ally, whatever, right? 512 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,720 I think it could be either. I don't think that like we're 513 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,080 going to get 2 cost arrows as like a big mechanical theme for 514 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,800 the set. I would love that. 515 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,000 We've seen 2 cost pumps, so it's clear that they're trying to 516 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,320 like up the curve a little bit, which I'm very excited for. 517 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,000 But I still think that given how little 2 cost arrows we've seen 518 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,200 that they're going to try to keep that high impact and 519 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,400 flashy. So it's either going to be one 520 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,920 kind of Core 2 cost arrow that's like red, yellow, blue, or like 521 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,760 a majestic cycle of two cost arrows. 522 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,160 So do you mean like there's at least three two cost arrows that 523 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,520 have different names? Or if there's like one common 524 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,400 that comes in red, yellow, blue, is that a cycle? 525 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,840 That's a cycle, but if they do that, I think. 526 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,640 That they're that's a cycle. That's a. 527 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,200 Cycle. That's one card that happens to 528 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,360 be printed. OK, OK, fine, fine. 529 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,160 The colors won't count as a cycle for this prediction. 530 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,120 For this prediction, I'm saying there will be a cycle of 531 00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:45,200 mechanically different, differently named two cost 532 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,200 arrows. Kellen, I really need these 533 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,440 points. They're already one above me in 534 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,640 prediction. And if our fucking guest who 535 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,680 comes on one time hates me? For the one Ranger said we've 536 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,120 had in two years, come on, just got to give it to me. 537 00:26:58,120 --> 00:27:00,640 Come on, we're. A bit of a sticklers here on our 538 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,480 pitch and predictions. I have to fight. 539 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:03,520 Done. Game show episode. 540 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:09,360 You are using that we word. Again, I do want to build though 541 00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:11,040 a little bit on this because there's a reason why I think 2 542 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:11,880 cost arrows are going to be there. 543 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:16,120 We've already talked a little bit about how gold really allows 544 00:27:16,120 --> 00:27:18,040 you to utilize blue cards. Well, right? 545 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,160 You pitch a blue, you draw a card, you have an extra resource 546 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,160 floating. And notably, our Ranger Marilyn 547 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,240 loads whenever you draw a card. Marlin. 548 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,400 Marlin, like Marlin? Oh, is it? 549 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,920 Is that an official? Yes, it's spelled with AY. 550 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,600 It's spelled MARLYN. Oh yeah, OK. 551 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,000 It's not MARYLY. Unless you like, really 552 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:45,560 pronounce the L Marilyn. Marlin Okay, so. 553 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,800 That's so stupid. Marlin. 554 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,800 Oh my God. Gravy bones. 555 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,640 Marlin. Oh my God. 556 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,120 Popping. Popping. 557 00:27:55,120 --> 00:27:57,760 I know there's an opening coming up soon there. 558 00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,960 Let me know, Elsa. I know there's. 559 00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:02,200 An opening coming up soon. Someone dropped the ball. 560 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,880 Okay, so Marlin. So Marlin, her hero ability is 561 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,960 that whenever she draws a card, she gets to put it looks like an 562 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,880 arrow card, or maybe it's a card but face up into her arsenal. 563 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,560 So that means that if you pitch a blue, you're drawing a card 564 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:21,120 that lets you load and subvert the air the the bow cost, right, 565 00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:23,960 In a similar way that Riptide can while also generating 566 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,360 resources. So I think that she'll be able 567 00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:27,480 to support a higher range. So I think that we're going to 568 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:28,880 see 2 cost arrows coming from her. 569 00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:33,600 Sure. And I I do agree when I was 570 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,920 talking about how LSUS likes to go between like low costed to 571 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,880 high costed sets in terms of like what's meaningful and 572 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,440 important. Do they like everyone throwing a 573 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,560 three for seven with no with one action point? 574 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,080 Or do they like like a lot of 0 for fours and like a lot more go 575 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,560 again in the set? Typically in the pattern this 576 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,560 would be a taller set, higher costed arrow support to that. 577 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,520 Next I think we want to jump to a fan prediction. 578 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,280 Gino Jack says Marlin's bow is going to be over costed but have 579 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,280 a passive effect such as paying three resources as an action to 580 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,800 load an arrow. And then all of your arrows 581 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,840 might have piercing 1. So you wouldn't want to actually 582 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,520 use the loading effect unless you had to. 583 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,760 But kind of like how dreadboard gives that like effect to all of 584 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,080 your arrows no matter if you use dreadboard or not. 585 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,720 Like just giving your arrows that buff. 586 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,200 That totally makes sense to me with Marlin's play pattern and. 587 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,800 Then trying to get around the loading condition by drawing 588 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,440 cards. And how can you draw cards? 589 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,520 How many times can you draw cards making that as consistent 590 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,240 as conceivably possible? And I've been with. 591 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,360 It and that makes a lot of sense to me because something I felt 592 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,400 that was always missing from Riptide specifically was the 593 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,200 fact that his ability lets you load so easily. 594 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,320 There wasn't really any benefit to loading from Riptide's 595 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,680 ability as compared to like loading with that dealer or his 596 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:55,200 signature bow or Dread War because you have the draw card 597 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,200 or the aim support. So it's like there's no reason 598 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,520 for you to be using his ability. And so Marwin, if she has a 599 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,640 really insane bow that only she can use that has a powerful 600 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,880 effect, then that would sort of silo her design a little bit, 601 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,240 which would prevent another Lexi from coming out of nowhere and 602 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,280 also just be a lot more fun to play in general and focus on 603 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,240 these theoretical 2 costed arrows. 604 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,960 And I I will say on the riptide point, the benefit is either 605 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,720 being able to play a bunch of 0 cost pumps to be hyper 606 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,040 aggressive right? Like load your your 0 cost arrow 607 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,120 or whatever. But also his bow is barbed 608 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:33,040 undertow which needs a face down arrow in order to flip to give 609 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,680 it a name counter. The problem is that barbed 610 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,440 undertow is a very underpowered card. 611 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,960 So we find ourselves running others and then like you said, 612 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,200 like sometimes you're not loading with Riptide as much. 613 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,320 I rarely actually load an arrow with Riptide to attack on my 614 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,440 turn right. I'm going to jump in here with 615 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:52,400 my prediction, and I'm going to do a little hybrid prediction. 616 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,200 That's right. I'm going to drag Necromancer 617 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,240 into our Ranger pitch here, and I'm going to say that there will 618 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,680 be a hybrid Ranger Necromancer equipment that lets them loot 619 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:04,680 specifically. I would. 620 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,560 I imagine this being a headpiece, but I'm leaving 621 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,560 myself a little bit more open because this is making a couple 622 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,240 big swings. One, that there's going to be 623 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,800 hybrid cards, sure, which we have not seen yet. 624 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,880 And hybrid equipment. And hybrid equipment which we do 625 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,360 not know and then this like looting effect. 626 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,240 I think that the looting effect seems really powerful. 627 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,680 I think it would be a nice thing to put in the head slot. 628 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,000 I could see this easily being like a Ranger legendary. 629 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,200 I could see this being you, you know, sort of like on how like 630 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,880 blood stained the the blood stained chest from the haunted 631 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,280 is like this really powerful engine. 632 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,840 I feel like if there'd be a really powerful hybrid Ranger 633 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,400 necromancer engine in the headpiece of letting them loot 634 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,480 multiple times really helping the necromancer fill their 635 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,160 graveyard or the Ranger draw cards very often. 636 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,680 So are you predicting a legendary hybrid Ranger 637 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,480 necromancer equipment? Not legendary Because I could 638 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,080 totally see like a generic headpiece that does this. 639 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,520 I can see a generic headpiece that that does this too. 640 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,520 I'm kind of hoping to snag 1/2 point right? 641 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,000 I'm like leaving this like is it legendary or not? 642 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,280 Is it hybrid? Or maybe it's just one of the 643 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:13,520 classes. Well, right. 644 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,840 Do you think it'll be Clark? I think it honestly could be 645 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,800 legendary or AT. Common or at rare? 646 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,600 I'll just write in here Legendary. 647 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,480 It won't be majestic. Hybrid. 648 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:32,920 Non majestic. But I think it's AI think 649 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,920 looting is a powerful thing. It plays into that card 650 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,600 advantage idea. So it being in the head slot 651 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,160 makes a lot of sense for me. I just don't really know if like 652 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,040 they they may want to restrict that to just Ranger or just 653 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,360 necromancer. They may want to put that at the 654 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,960 legendary because it's so powerful and make it repeatable. 655 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,720 Or maybe they wanted to be a one time use only for limited and 656 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,040 leave it in the comment slot. I think there's a lot of ways 657 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,080 that they could go with it, but looting seems like a powerful 658 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,360 thing and it's something that they've already put on one of 659 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,760 the Ranger cards of the draw card then discard card. 660 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,840 So like I think they do want that mechanic to be around. 661 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,640 I think it's going to be a nice way if they can let Marlin load 662 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,040 without giving her a ton of card advantage. 663 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,840 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Tight. 664 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,880 I have a prediction to make about the quiver that I believe 665 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,640 Marlin will inevitably get as a token, because since they 666 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,720 introduced quivers into the game, if you're going to make a 667 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,240 Ranger, they should have a quiver available to them in 668 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,240 draft, right? A draft token? 669 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,920 I think her token quiver will allow her to create a harpoon 670 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,440 token in her arsenal. Oh like a one time use to make a 671 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,640 harpoon. You're like oh fuck no, no 672 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,600 arrows in my hand. I'm a Ranger in limited. 673 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,600 This sucks. You crack your quiver. 674 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,880 You create one of these tokens. Interesting. 675 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,120 I think that's a very good prediction because that's 676 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,840 something that we've been talking about in the in the 677 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,520 Riptide community, Ranger community at large for for quite 678 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,160 some time, right? Like whenever we think about 679 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,880 quivers, we've never had a quiver that generates arrows 680 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,120 outside of kind of quiver of wrestling leaves that might pull 681 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,320 one off the top. But that both addresses a core 682 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,480 weakness of the Ranger class, which is that you run out of 683 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,520 threats because you do not have a weapon, and is also very 684 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,199 thematically on point. So that I hope you are right 685 00:34:16,199 --> 00:34:20,280 fuzzy and I hope it's a generic Ranger so that all Rangers can 686 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,480 play it. If I'd add one more thing, we 687 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,159 know that Marlon herself can make goldfin harpoons. 688 00:34:25,159 --> 00:34:27,360 I like the idea that there'd be multiple different Harpoon 689 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,639 tokens. I've seen our user Aparku, who 690 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,440 will give you another of his predictions later on the 691 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,239 episode, but he mentioned having maybe up to like 5 different 692 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,440 harpoon tokens running around, which I think is kind of a lot. 693 00:34:39,639 --> 00:34:41,960 But I could definitely see like more than one, you know? 694 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,440 Yeah. I think I have a hard time 695 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,440 seeing more than one. We'll see how it goes. 696 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,400 So I'm imagining this one's not a goldfin harpoon, but we'll 697 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:50,639 see. Maybe it will be. 698 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,320 I'm not gonna get specific about that. 699 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,400 Yeah, let's get some fan predictions out here. 700 00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:00,160 I'm going to shout out this one for Mulvane because I read it 701 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,480 and I had it was it was. It's an example of parallel 702 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:04,760 thinking here. Mulvane. 703 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,520 Mulvane predicted that there will be a Codex of Frailty 704 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:13,000 reprint specifically noted after that, just watch him give it the 705 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,240 CNC Legendary treatment. And honestly, yeah, I think that 706 00:35:17,240 --> 00:35:19,520 is how they want to do these big, expensive majestic 707 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:20,720 reprints. They want to pump it to 708 00:35:20,720 --> 00:35:22,640 legendary. They want to shove it into the 709 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,240 expansion slot. Makes a lot of sense to me, but 710 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,480 I want to give you your credit for that, Mulvane. 711 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,240 Great prediction, great minds. Think alike, buddy. 712 00:35:31,240 --> 00:35:32,800 OK. I have an important question 713 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,440 regarding this theoretical reprint. 714 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,800 Should Assassins be allowed to play the high seas themed codecs 715 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,400 in their decks? Because I think that should be 716 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,640 left for the Rangers. I think all. 717 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,200 I think if they do, you have the right to steal it from them. 718 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,720 Or if you have the right to like put down one of your own codexes 719 00:35:49,720 --> 00:35:51,680 and be like, I don't fight you for it, OK. 720 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,640 That's going to save me like $500. 721 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,600 Well, you still have to put down one of your own codexes. 722 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,800 OK like $2.00 codexes are expensive. 723 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,480 Yes. Joel, why don't you hit us with 724 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,320 your Ranger themed prediction? All right, I was feeling not 725 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:12,200 that inspired from Ranger, but I was looking at Marlin. 726 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,360 God, what a stupid name. I was looking at Marlin's hero 727 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,600 ability. It seems like if they're 728 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:22,280 floating around this like 2 cost buff and or arrow theme that the 729 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:26,360 golden harpoon might be like your reward for gold and 730 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,880 therefore be free. And so I was thinking that 731 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,600 Ranger, if there was going to be a class dedicated to this 732 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,320 mechanic, would be the untapping class. 733 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:41,800 And by that I mean if you build up a lot of gold and you're 734 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,440 you're this mid range Ranger that plays like 2 costed arrows, 735 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,800 2 cost pumps. Maybe you want like several 736 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,360 arrows in in a singular turn where it's like 0 for three go 737 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,160 again, sort of like crouching tiger or some other like 738 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,400 ephemeral token just to spam the board with attacks and then 739 00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,160 finish off with your one big arrow for the turn. 740 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:01,920 Coupled with like rain razors or something. 741 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,280 I don't know. It just seems like, yeah, 742 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:09,000 there's not a lot of power baked into Rangers, so if it was going 743 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:14,160 to be this class about either damage or disruption, I think it 744 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,040 would be around being able to activate ability multiple times 745 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,760 in one turn. Yeah, I like that a lot. 746 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,680 I know there's definitely a type of Ranger player that's itching 747 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,720 to that really go wide Ranger that Lexi was able to bring. 748 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,720 And if they're able to lean into those and use those big arrows 749 00:37:31,720 --> 00:37:36,200 as finishers, I can totally see Marlon almost having this kind 750 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,960 of combo feel to it during certain power turns. 751 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:44,400 Yeah, I really, really like the tapping, untapping, like just in 752 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:50,080 terms of that physical action. It feels very Ranger Y like. 753 00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,680 I don't really know how else to describe it, but I really like 754 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,680 that idea. It feels like drawing the bow, 755 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,400 releasing the bow, drawing the bow, releasing the bow, right? 756 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,360 Or crossbow. Or or crossbow. 757 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,320 Yeah, like Rangers love to like, tip their headpiece because 758 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,640 they're opting and tip their hero because they're activating. 759 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,600 Azalea and they're like tipping the weapon. 760 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,520 Or Voltaire would be like tap tap but now it's upside down. 761 00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:12,440 Oh. They love flipping around their 762 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,160 fucking equipment slots. Rangers have kind of already 763 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,760 been tapping a lot of stuff, so like sluts. 764 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,200 Hey. What the fuck, Fuzzy? 765 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,840 Where does that come? Store well, I like of you. 766 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,680 I mean, you've seen Riptide, come on. 767 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,960 I would also like to note that Marlin loads in things face up, 768 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,880 so you cannot trench the cards that you load with her hero 769 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,120 ability. It's going to be really good for 770 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,160 New Horizons, but come on Trench, I've got to work on. 771 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,360 Oh oh, that reminds you fucking told you that trench was not 772 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,120 going to be usable in this goddamn set. 773 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:47,560 Would you? You don't know that. 774 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,600 You don't know that. Everyone who bought it for $200, 775 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:56,160 you deserve it. Yeah, that's hanging. 776 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,840 We have one more fan prediction for this section. 777 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,680 Ozzy Pepper has stated that he thinks universal gold support 778 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,240 for other heroes that use gold is going to be printed. 779 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,400 So universal cards will make a comeback. 780 00:39:08,720 --> 00:39:10,600 That is definitely what this is saying. 781 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,600 I don't know. We did see like a bunch of 782 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,680 heroes be printed around gold synergies in heavy hitters and 783 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,760 it's about time for them to maybe get some more support, you 784 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,080 know? I mean, if I was correct in 785 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:28,920 saying that pirate isn't going to have a really big class, like 786 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,200 a really big talent identity, then like I think universal 787 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,320 cards would be really necessary to help plug some of those gaps. 788 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:40,600 Yeah, I do have one other prediction for Ranger. 789 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:44,600 I'm cashing in my bonus prediction, and that is that I 790 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,880 think that Rangers in this set are going to gain access to 791 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,480 allies of their own. This is another thing that we've 792 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,200 talked a lot about in the Riptide community. 793 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,840 We hate allies, right? There's such a pain to get rid 794 00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:01,240 of with your arrows. But Rangers as a fantasy 795 00:40:01,240 --> 00:40:04,520 archetype often deal with animal companions. 796 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,280 So I don't think it's going to be a situation of like, you 797 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,760 know, draw my like, here's my wide field of Ashwings or 798 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,640 something. But I do think it makes a lot of 799 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:12,960 sense to be like, you're a Ranger. 800 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,320 Here's your wolf companion. Here's your parrot companion. 801 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,240 Here's your whatever companion. And he's my best friend. 802 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:23,240 Please don't kill him. It also gives you I never 803 00:40:23,240 --> 00:40:25,320 thought about other people killing my little animal 804 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,320 companion. Ohh I thought Lizzie was saying 805 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:33,440 listeners tell him is my best friend in a dark alley No. 806 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,800 But it also solves the problem of like Rangers running out of 807 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,680 threats, right? Because like allies are very 808 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,160 fragile threats, especially if you only have one. 809 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,480 But that does give you some ability to like send things 810 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,160 multiple turns if you draw a hand of all palms or like ALDI 811 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:49,600 reacts or something along those lines. 812 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,760 So I think that Rangers are going to get allies. 813 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,000 I would even go so far say that every class is going to have 814 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,240 allies. I think this is going to feel 815 00:40:55,240 --> 00:41:00,440 like the Allies set, and I think we've seen allies referenced in 816 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,080 more than just the Necromancer card so far. 817 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:08,720 The macro references allies, but it says like blank or an ally 818 00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:11,000 you control. The card can work if you don't 819 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:15,040 have an ally assumedly, but it also like kind of implies that 820 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,600 maybe anyone could have an ally. And this is a macro like I do 821 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,400 think that like we're going to see I, I don't, I think that 822 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:25,160 like necromancers is going to be the ally class definitely with 823 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,840 like a wide ally base, but I think Mex are going to have 824 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,800 access to an ally and I think range, those are going to have 825 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:33,000 access to an ally. Man, I think that's so wrong, 826 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,360 but hey, that's pitcher predictions, baby. 827 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,240 I'm going to get so many. Points in June. 828 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,240 Well, awesome. Those are some nice predictions 829 00:41:41,240 --> 00:41:42,840 about Ranger. We're going to move on to Blue 830 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,800 Pitch talking about mechanologist, Yeah. 831 00:41:45,720 --> 00:41:49,280 And now for my favorite class in all of flesh and blood 832 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:53,040 Mechanologist, because they needed this in this set 833 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,400 specifically. And I think we're going to start 834 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,920 off with Fuzzy's prediction. What do you have for us? 835 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:02,560 For my mechanologist prediction, I think that Sky Skimmer, the 836 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,360 card we got that says it's a 0 for four with a once per turn 837 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,560 instant you can blank a cog you control. 838 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:14,080 I assume it's tap, but the jury's still out and you get to 839 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,760 give the skyskimmer either plus one or go again. 840 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,600 I think that this is a common rider that we're going to see on 841 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:21,680 multiple cards in the set. I think there's going to be a 842 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:25,000 one for five version of this Tapacog get plus one or go 843 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,360 again. I think there's going to be a 2 844 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,520 for six version. Tapacog get plus one or go 845 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:29,920 again. I don't quite think there's 846 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,480 going to be a three for seven go again, you know, like there's No 847 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,680 3 for seven throttle, you know, but or. 848 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,440 Maybe they do a three for 6/1. 03 for six? 849 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:41,280 That seems a little bit more like. 850 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:45,000 Just like gas guzzler. And then each of them have an 851 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:49,600 additional tap requirement like or the one for five requires 22 852 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:50,840 for six. Wow, so you. 853 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:53,040 Need just. Two cogs. 854 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:58,160 It feels very methodologist coded to be like here's a card 855 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,040 you already have but like a little different and maybe 856 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,920 worse. You guys are either going to 857 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,480 suck or be really consistent. Zaliver correct me if I 858 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,920 pronounce it incorrectly, but they said that there will be no 859 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,680 boosting in this set. So it might be crankin, but no, 860 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,120 no boosting. Bam. 861 00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,160 Is this a ground fruit protection? 862 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,400 Because I think some people are like, yeah, there's no way 863 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,960 there's boost in this app, but I still think they could print 864 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:23,960 some boost in this app. I don't think this is a ground 865 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,320 fruit, honestly, I think we. Sorry, that was I'm so glad you 866 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,440 mentioned that, Joel. Listeners, we want to maybe 867 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,360 explain what the term ground fruit means. 868 00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,800 No, no, if they're new to the podcast, they can pick it up. 869 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:38,920 They can pick up the ground fruit and learn what it means 870 00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:40,400 it. Means just like a really basic 871 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:45,320 prediction. It's like low hanging fruit, but 872 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,440 it's so low hanging. It is on the ground. 873 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:52,200 It is ground fruit. Yeah, this is like circa 2024 874 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:56,160 predictions where we would just try to get points and either do 875 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,440 100 predictions or do really simple predictions. 876 00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,680 We've refined. We've refined our ways, yeah. 877 00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,960 I feel like this is like really close to being ground fruit and 878 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,840 the only reason is because LSS has been vocal about wanting to 879 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,680 move away from Boost and they haven't done that yet with 880 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,280 mechanologist, right? So I do think that like this is 881 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,880 the set where they're going to really expand and and look to 882 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:19,080 push it in some different directions. 883 00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,640 Also, I think the last time mechanologist was in a set with 884 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,000 other classes outside of MEC was Arcane Rising. 885 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,000 I felt like that draft environment was especially 886 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,960 punishing because you literally needed a deck full of 887 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,160 mechanologist cards or you cannot play dash effectively. 888 00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:38,160 And in order to sort of have mechanologist flex into 889 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:41,240 different power cards or generics or defense reactions, 890 00:44:41,240 --> 00:44:45,160 block cards, whatever, I think they would need a lot less of 891 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,480 the boosting cards unless it's like on and equipment with go 892 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,000 again. That way whatever you boost off 893 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,520 the top or whatever is not as relevant I guess. 894 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,240 But at the same time, the advancements that they've made 895 00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:01,120 in their limited structure since Arcane Rising with Universal 896 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,560 cards and Hybrid cards, I think could still make it so that they 897 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,800 can print some boost. I'm not saying a lot of boost, 898 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,720 but some boost in the set and actually still help. 899 00:45:11,720 --> 00:45:14,560 It maybe feel just a little risky. 900 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,840 Clark, you seem especially excited to talk. 901 00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,280 What's your prediction for mechanologists? 902 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,960 So this is definitely a prediction I don't feel great 903 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,120 about. I don't know, LSS was so 904 00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,960 reserved in bright lights and I don't feel like they've been 905 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,520 giving us any direction as to what the future of MEC might 906 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,200 look like. They're still super tied to 907 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,600 boost, and boost isn't going anywhere in constructed. 908 00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,120 So like, I don't really know what they're going to do. 909 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,480 So I just threw something out there about the new weapon, 910 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,320 which is the weapon will only be able to attack if an item has 911 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,680 been destroyed this turn. So whether that is the start of 912 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,560 the turn, right? They're they're losing the 913 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,400 counters. And it's like, no steam counters 914 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,000 on this. So the item gets destroyed. 915 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:54,160 Yeah. But it's that idea of like how 916 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:57,080 blunderbusses used to work and like how some of these cannons 917 00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,200 used to work, which is that you just kind of shove a bunch of 918 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,440 fucking scrap into your cannon and you'd shoot that. 919 00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:08,800 And that kind of feels like what MEC would do, right? 920 00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,480 Like they have all this extra scrap lying around. 921 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,680 And so they would, and I mean, maybe it literally says scrap on 922 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:16,880 it. And so they would, you know, 923 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,400 banish items from their graveyard to be able to attack 924 00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,120 with it. Maybe it's gated in that way, 925 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,360 but I'm going with an item being destroyed. 926 00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,760 I like that a lot. It seems like a good evolution 927 00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,560 in Pivot on like that, needing to interact with items to get 928 00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,080 the value out of your weapon that we've kind of seen from, 929 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,720 you know, like the most recent iteration of mechanologists. 930 00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,840 Yeah, I'm going to quickly go over to a fan prediction because 931 00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,920 they were on the same belief length as you, Clark, That lemur 932 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,520 that was caught earth bending illegally also predicted that 933 00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:49,080 there would be a blunderbuss in the mechanologist kit, which is 934 00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,680 really interesting to me because I, I'm really hoping for a 935 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,520 flintlock wherever it can come up in this set. 936 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:56,880 But I would take a blunderbuss too, because those are, those 937 00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:57,520 are sick. Yeah. 938 00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:01,200 Her art looks very like sort of pistoly, right? 939 00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,040 She's like the more swashbuckling kind of hero, or 940 00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,800 like the one handed, you know, running around on the rope sort 941 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,320 of thing, swinging from ship to ship. 942 00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,040 It is going to be a hype day when we get to see the weapons 943 00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:14,000 for these guys because we have been hyping for pirate weapons 944 00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,800 for ever since we started thinking about pirates and Fab. 945 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:18,280 Yeah, I'm not get anything done that day. 946 00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:22,040 I'm just calling it out. Just gazing lovingly at the 947 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,720 spoilers. Just caressing your screen. 948 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,600 I feel like each one of these classes has like potentially a 949 00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,240 weapon that the respective classes have been talking about 950 00:47:31,240 --> 00:47:34,000 for a long time. Like flip lock, harpoons, you 951 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:38,000 know, whatever necromancer smack people with like people. 952 00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,600 Yeah, probably other people. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like a bone. 953 00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:43,800 Or a monkey's paw, just like slapping. 954 00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,720 Around with a monkey's paw. I want to stay on this 955 00:47:46,720 --> 00:47:49,160 prediction for a little bit and say that I've seen multiple 956 00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,560 other predictions talk about like for each item that gets 957 00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,120 destroyed, like you put a counter on, or like each item 958 00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,280 you galvanized, you put a counter on the weapon. 959 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,800 And then once you sacrifice them and you can shoot kind of like a 960 00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,400 Hanabi blaster. Or it just has three separate 961 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,760 lines of galvanized. You have to galvanized 3 things 962 00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:08,960 to attack. I mean, that would be very 963 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,800 interesting because so far galvanized has only cared about 964 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,480 block value and increasing block value, but they're being 965 00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,600 offensive galvanized value. That was one of the predictions 966 00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,880 I was toying around with. I won't take it come June. 967 00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,440 Oh, we know. But I will bring it up for for 968 00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,640 spiritual victory and for personal pat on the back part. 969 00:48:28,720 --> 00:48:32,400 Sounds good, can't wait you. Can keep that that spiritual 970 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:36,040 tally. All right. 971 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,840 I want to move back to a Pidham host prediction. 972 00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:41,680 Talon, what do you have for us? You've been. 973 00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:43,760 Yeah. Yeah, host #3 what do? 974 00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:53,120 You got whoa, I mean. #3. My prediction for mechanologist, 975 00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,560 I guess this is a little, it's kind of like not mechanologist, 976 00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,560 but I think it's going to tie into what the mechanologist 977 00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,560 class is trying to do and that is that we are going to see the 978 00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:05,800 return of generic items. This is something that I really, 979 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,560 really loved in Everfest. These kind of like various 980 00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:09,880 trinkets and stuff. That dude. 981 00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:11,680 Me too. I talk about those all the time. 982 00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:13,960 There's so much fun. I've like built Riptide decks 983 00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,040 revolving ground playing a bunch of those of. 984 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:19,280 Course you have, yeah. And so I think that it like fits 985 00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,200 the pirate vibe, You know, it's like there's lots of junk, 986 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:22,040 there's lots of trinkets. You're. 987 00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:23,200 Going you're connecting. The. 988 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,920 Treasure, right and and so I think they're going to evolve 989 00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:27,880 that. I don't think it's going to be 990 00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,360 as much as what was in Everfest. This is a draftable set. 991 00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,080 Those are hard cards, but I do think we're going to see a 992 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:37,240 couple of at least one or two generic items that everyone can 993 00:49:37,240 --> 00:49:39,400 play, and then Mechanologist is probably gonna be interested in 994 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,120 picking those up in draft because of how it can support. 995 00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:45,000 Those maybe these are also our counterplay hate items. 996 00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,360 Joel, I know you said recently in our Life Game episode about 997 00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:52,680 there being about items. Yeah, really good angle for hate 998 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:56,240 cards because they can resolve and then sit on the board until 999 00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,160 it becomes relevant. Also in general, like I look 1000 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,800 back to timestamp Potion and energy Potion and how impactful 1001 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,560 those cards have been and so many builds across so many 1002 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:09,000 heroes. And I just like the idea of them 1003 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:13,560 returning to just adding generically good items that have 1004 00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,720 this wide application. Not in the way that like these 1005 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:21,080 majestic generics will do sometimes, but still like, you 1006 00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:24,160 know, some other way to like foster a new type of game plan. 1007 00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:27,760 I mean majestic generic item. I think that'd be pretty cool. 1008 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,520 I'd love to see that you like parrot in a cage. 1009 00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,240 You know, everyone gets like a 11 ally. 1010 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,480 You can crack it. Crack all. 1011 00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,680 Joel, do you have a prediction? For mechanologists, actually I 1012 00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:41,560 do. Wow. 1013 00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:46,480 So I was also looking at the hero ability of fucking puffin. 1014 00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:50,240 Oh my God, every time I say. These names it just. 1015 00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:52,800 It irks me a little bit. Is this going to be the next 1016 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:53,200 year? It's. 1017 00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,200 Like it might. Be because Kano was like a bad 1018 00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,360 pun but we were still like Kano sounds like a fantasy. 1019 00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:00,000 Name. Wait. 1020 00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,360 Well, what's Kano? A volcano? 1021 00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:04,880 Oh my. Are you kidding? 1022 00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:06,960 You might have told me that. No. 1023 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,360 Yes, you. Did he purged it from his mind? 1024 00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,480 It's probably fuzzy. I confuse YouTube all the time. 1025 00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,680 Wow, actually, hold on, Joel, we're friends again. 1026 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,840 You're fuzzy. Fuck Fuzzy. 1027 00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,520 So anyways I was looking at puffin high tail. 1028 00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,760 You believe the greatest set of all time is fielded by the three 1029 00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:32,560 horsemen of the apocalypse, Puffin, WAVY fucking Bones, and 1030 00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:37,240 Marlin with 2 ends. This is. 1031 00:51:38,720 --> 00:51:41,080 But two, so that they're like it's not. 1032 00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:42,960 That bad? I'm moving past, I'm moving 1033 00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:43,840 past. Taller puff. 1034 00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:47,160 I need a power this. Magic. 1035 00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:51,080 Dragon if you just can't say Puppet because it's too 1036 00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:54,640 ridiculous. I'm moving past it so Puffin is 1037 00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:57,920 going to have this new pirate high octane card. 1038 00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:01,120 This is also like a flashback to my Marlin prediction. 1039 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,960 But I still think it could be cool because Meganologist has 1040 00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,800 played with extra action points more so than Ranger has, and 1041 00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:08,960 certainly more than Necromancer will. 1042 00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:12,640 And so far, the only way that I can think of Puffing being able 1043 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:16,280 to activate her heel ability twice would be through the 1044 00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:19,200 Armory deck pieces. Specifically the leg piece that 1045 00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,160 Dio got where you vanish 2 cards. 1046 00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:25,120 If they're Meganologist, you get one action point for each and so 1047 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,800 if there is this pirate high octane or pirate octane card 1048 00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:32,640 then you could get make better use of the second line of text 1049 00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:35,120 as well as create a bunch of golden cogs. 1050 00:52:35,240 --> 00:52:38,400 Yeah, I mean, I love the shout out for the high octane 1051 00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,560 replacement. I think we're all expecting it 1052 00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,360 to come in this set or really hoping it comes in this set. 1053 00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,800 I think MEC players especially are like, please, dear God, give 1054 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:51,880 us high octane back. I just wonder is Joel, are you 1055 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:55,520 saying it's going to have pirate at the bottom and it won't be 1056 00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:59,800 playable in like Dash and Max? Correct, I think it's going to 1057 00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:03,800 be specifically tied to pirate mechanologies, either via goal 1058 00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:08,000 generation which mech really can't do reliably, or through 1059 00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,280 the pirate tag, which again will probably be with gold anyways. 1060 00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:12,880 OK, OK. Because I don't think they would 1061 00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:17,280 ban high octane and then print all the support to sort of 1062 00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:23,320 supplement the leaving of high octane for Dash IO and the extra 1063 00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:26,920 cards for Max to push them away from either this high octane 1064 00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,400 game plan and then print another one that they can all use that. 1065 00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,680 That wouldn't make sense to me. I could totally see a card 1066 00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,880 that's like every time an act an item is destroyed this turn you 1067 00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,200 get an action point and then you crack all your gold. 1068 00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,960 It's only have resources and action points, but you had to 1069 00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:41,480 get a bunch of gold to set it up. 1070 00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,960 Crack all my epods now I got 6 resources. 1071 00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:47,880 And just like that, it's a bad design. 1072 00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,600 Yeah, and these extra action points would be really helpful 1073 00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:56,920 if Apricu's prediction comes to pass, which is that 1074 00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:00,640 mechanologist gets a new pistol and they become the pistol 1075 00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:04,640 mechanologist, replacing the Treefrog dash build where you 1076 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,680 run a lot of generics and focus on your pistols for late game. 1077 00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:12,560 Yeah, that's so interesting of like using the galvanized that 1078 00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:17,520 we've already seen to be like the high defensive version and 1079 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:21,680 then using whatever pistol support packages with a new 1080 00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,080 pistol item. I mean, hey, we were saying 1081 00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:25,480 flintlock earlier, right? Yep. 1082 00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,320 I could totally see like a pistol package replacement, 1083 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:31,880 although I also feel like we kind of have that with teclo 1084 00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:34,880 bosen. I don't see like the pistol mech 1085 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:38,640 players like pivoting into Teclovosun for some reason, even 1086 00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,200 though it has a very similar play pattern. 1087 00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:43,120 You block out a whole bunch, you get your items out in the field 1088 00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,680 and then you have a win condition late game, you know? 1089 00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:48,760 Yeah, this might be the the mech that gets me into Mechinologist. 1090 00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,440 Like being able to like fire a bunch of foot lock pistols just 1091 00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,240 seems like a lot of fun. Someone has to do it in this 1092 00:54:53,240 --> 00:54:54,280 fucking set. Someone does. 1093 00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,560 Now wait a minute. Joel, I also see here on the 1094 00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:00,880 notes that you have, you're cashing in your bonus. 1095 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:02,960 Me. Yeah, no. 1096 00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,480 Yeah, the note says. Super secret prediction. 1097 00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:07,440 Oh, that you got excited about earlier? 1098 00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,360 Yeah, I was. Am I right in that this 1099 00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:12,280 prediction is so secret you can't even say it on the pod 1100 00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:14,000 right now? I can't even say it, I have to 1101 00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:14,640 write. It down. 1102 00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:17,160 Don't do this to me. You can't do this to me. 1103 00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:21,360 I built this company from the ground with my own two hands. 1104 00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:25,040 I'm going to release a series of Twitter posts and each one 1105 00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:28,080 letter at the beginning is going to spell out the prediction. 1106 00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:31,480 So over the course of 13 months after the second one's out, 1107 00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:32,560 you'll know what the prediction was. 1108 00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:34,560 You have to write it down and then open it up during the 1109 00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:38,840 rehash. That's so baller. 1110 00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:45,040 So I was thinking about the cards that LSS deleted before I 1111 00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,120 could or after I screenshotted them. 1112 00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:50,760 The pirate necromancer ones. Yeah, the pirate necromancer 1113 00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:52,800 cards. So if you take a look at hoist 1114 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:56,000 them up, it says when this defends you made something an 1115 00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,480 ally you control. If you do this gets plus one 1116 00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:01,160 defense. And then I was looking at what's 1117 00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:05,640 his face gravy bones and he says instant mystery symbol destroy 1118 00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:06,880 gold. You control, draw a card and 1119 00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:10,160 then discard a card. So I was sort of inspired by 1120 00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:13,680 Atasis prediction saying that there are cards in the set that 1121 00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:17,920 either have a cost of tapping your hero or able to untap your 1122 00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:20,400 hero. And so I was thinking that each 1123 00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:25,080 of these cards have a either Demi hero or a backing to their 1124 00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:28,360 card so that you're actually flipping your hero or flipping 1125 00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:32,440 your ally in this case. Because all of these abilities 1126 00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:36,280 seem really strong, especially if the rules are probably say 1127 00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:37,960 like you and tap at the start of your turn. 1128 00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:41,480 So you get 2 activations or one activation on each turn, right? 1129 00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:44,240 Like you tap on your opponent's turn to loot and then on your 1130 00:56:44,240 --> 00:56:46,720 turn you untap and do it again and vice versa. 1131 00:56:46,720 --> 00:56:49,640 That seems pretty strong and it's sort of breaking the action 1132 00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,960 point economy similar to how Icelander did. 1133 00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,920 So I was wondering if there is a way that's on the card that 1134 00:56:56,040 --> 00:57:01,200 isn't super obvious to prevent people from just abusing this 1135 00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:03,400 mechanic. And then I was thinking about 1136 00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:08,320 like Arachne Marionette, because all of their forms sort of you 1137 00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:10,600 get like one turn of it and then you return back to the Brood, 1138 00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:12,360 and that's how it sort of balances itself. 1139 00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,600 So my prediction is that each of the allies and each of the 1140 00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:20,160 heroes have a backside to it with some sort of text that 1141 00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:23,800 reverts to the original form. And that's how you untap instead 1142 00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:26,240 of a rules reprise. That'd be so cool. 1143 00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,040 Yeah, that's my, that's my prediction. 1144 00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:30,040 Sounds like a Joel design all right. 1145 00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:33,080 Yeah, really, really complicated, hard to execute, 1146 00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,240 yeah. It lived up to the hype. 1147 00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:37,600 I don't know. Yeah. 1148 00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:40,800 That still seems less complicated than Marionette, you 1149 00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:42,320 know, where like you have like 5 toes, you know? 1150 00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,560 So it's like within the realm of complexity in the game, Like, 1151 00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:45,680 yeah, it seems. Doable. 1152 00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:48,880 It would also make a lot of sense as to why like the heroes 1153 00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:52,200 kind of got revealed with little fanfare, and even though they've 1154 00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:55,360 walked back those pirate necromancer cards, they have not 1155 00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:57,800 walked back the hero card reveals, right? 1156 00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:00,520 Because like, why would you leave those up if that's like 1157 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,680 the main part of the set? Yeah, like even the mechanics 1158 00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:07,800 still are a big reveal, but they left the hero for some reason. 1159 00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,760 So I think there's a lot left baked into the hero design. 1160 00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:12,560 Yeah, not expecting a point on that one. 1161 00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:16,480 That was just more so I wanted to talk about it, but I think 1162 00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:18,280 that's is it. Did everyone go? 1163 00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,080 We're good, Yeah, and I think that's it for blue pitch. 1164 00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:24,360 We've talked enough about mechanologist for a time, but I 1165 00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:26,760 think we should go to our Arsenal zone where we have 1166 00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:31,440 plenty more suggestions. Now normally in our Arsenal 1167 00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:34,160 zone, what we do is that we talk about card we love, we hate, we 1168 00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:37,360 love to hate and we shout out a patron card along the way. 1169 00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:39,760 But pitch and predictions mixes it. 1170 00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:44,080 Up special episode. Yeah, instead what we do in our 1171 00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:48,080 Arsenal zone is that we make a prediction about what cards we 1172 00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:51,960 think will appear in the expansion slot for the set. 1173 00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:54,240 So it's a way of us sort of breaking the mold. 1174 00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:56,760 And rather than just talking about what's appearing in this 1175 00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:59,480 set, we spend a little bit of time sharing the love and 1176 00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:02,840 talking about heroes that aren't quite appearing in the set. 1177 00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:06,200 And before we start off with the rest of this predictions that we 1178 00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:09,920 have for the set, we still want to make time for our lovely 1179 00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:13,280 patrons. And if you don't know, as part 1180 00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:17,120 of the $5 and up tier, patrons can submit Arsenal's own 1181 00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:20,040 suggestions that we talk about them like right now. 1182 00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:22,640 And we sort of talk about a little bit why you like the 1183 00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:24,320 card, why we like the card. It's a good thing. 1184 00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:27,440 So we're going to start off by selecting randomly. 1185 00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:31,560 And that's real noise. The winner is Josh or Fob Doodle 1186 00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:35,600 Woo. Josh suggested to talk about 1187 00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:37,880 channel the Millennium Tree, he says. 1188 00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:40,480 I played the rune chant stacking Florian list in person for the 1189 00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:42,600 first time the other night and really saw its versatility 1190 00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:44,800 shine. Earth Block 3 for Decompose, 1191 00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:48,520 Hell yeah threatened for damage and for rune chants with Scepter 1192 00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:51,400 of Pain, hell period yeah period. 1193 00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:53,080 Threatened that for two turns in a row. 1194 00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:55,000 Question mark, question mark, question mark brah. 1195 00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:58,200 Just really liked how the card fits in the list and it makes 1196 00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:00,440 sense why it's run even in non stacking builds. 1197 01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:02,360 Is that OK? Yeah, perfect. 1198 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,920 Yeah, this card has dunked on me many a * 1 of my good friends. 1199 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,880 Garrett, he has been really enjoying playing Verdant, 1200 01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:12,400 especially when she saw a lot of relevance at the start of the 1201 01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:14,640 haunted meta. The way that this card 1202 01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:17,920 transforms arcane damage is really interesting. 1203 01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:21,000 And the fact that it's also a channel card, I love the channel 1204 01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:21,720 cards. Oh yeah. 1205 01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:25,280 So that's, that was really flavorful and fun to see 1206 01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:27,920 iterated upon in the, you know, all arcane sets. 1207 01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,400 So yeah, very cool card. Very good shadow, Josh. 1208 01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:33,600 Like a little subtle, like I think this card's a little hard 1209 01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:37,680 to evaluate at face value, but it is actually really good. 1210 01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:39,800 And just run it. It's great. 1211 01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:43,520 Yeah, and I've also seen Florians run Dread Scythe and 1212 01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:48,280 that might not be the best like rate, but if you have, you know, 1213 01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,600 channel Millennium tree, you pitch a blue and I think it's 1214 01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,840 four and one arcane if I'm not mistaken. 3:00 and 4:00. 1215 01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:58,040 Yeah, so it would be a three and four arcane, so A1 card 7 if you 1216 01:00:58,040 --> 01:00:59,920 keep it around for a turn. That doesn't seem too bad. 1217 01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:05,600 No, thanks for the shout, Josh. Yeah, and if you want your card 1218 01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:09,080 to be mentioned by your three favorite hosts sometimes 4, be 1219 01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:13,080 sure to keep an eye out for by announcements next week for 1220 01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:15,400 another chance. And now let's get back to the 1221 01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,600 pitch and predictions part. So I'll lead off in the Arsenal 1222 01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:21,000 zone. I think for the expansion slot 1223 01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:25,240 we're going to get a Draconic card, especially 1 geared 1224 01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:27,880 towards Fang. Interesting. 1225 01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:32,400 Thank you because. Who are the latest heroes to be 1226 01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:35,080 even eligible to receive expansion slot cards? 1227 01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:38,920 It's Syndra, Fang and or Acne and I think they might have 1228 01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:41,400 expected Syndra to be strong. I don't know, maybe they didn't. 1229 01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:44,200 It's hard to tell like what LSS expects to be the good heroes, 1230 01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:46,880 but Syndra definitely had like a meta scare a little bit while 1231 01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:48,520 ago. I think she is strong, I just 1232 01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:51,760 think she falls to the same issues that all aggro decks do, 1233 01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,040 whereas someone has bigger, better numbers and more 1234 01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:55,920 consistently so that's the best deck. 1235 01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:58,920 Whereas like Fang, I think they might have been holding back a 1236 01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:02,320 little bit more in the design space, so I think they would be 1237 01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:04,960 more comfortable releasing an expansion slot for Fang right 1238 01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:06,000 after. I agree. 1239 01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:08,120 So that's what I'm thinking is going to happen. 1240 01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:09,920 Cool. Thank you, Fuzzy. 1241 01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:13,360 Let's do a fan prediction. Which one I'm going to shout 1242 01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:15,280 out. Ord Barnacle. 1243 01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:18,760 He's had that username for a long time. 1244 01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:20,080 He didn't just make it for this set. 1245 01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:23,960 Yeah, he's been a Barnacle for as long as he possibly could. 1246 01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:29,280 Ord Barnacle has predicted that there will be a captain's hat. 1247 01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:32,360 Joel Yes, you didn't have to make the prediction. 1248 01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:34,280 You got through the whole episode without making the 1249 01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:36,560 prediction. Me and Mr. Barnacle have been on 1250 01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:40,040 fucking point I think all day. We just been like 2 peas in a 1251 01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:41,680 pod. Thank you so much for this 1252 01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:44,680 prediction. I 100% agree there should be a 1253 01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:47,400 Crown of Dominion pirate hat. Enough said. 1254 01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:50,280 Can wear that with Trench and then Riptide can finally be a 1255 01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:51,080 pirate. Nevermind. 1256 01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:57,840 I'm not on board. So for my Arsenal's own 1257 01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:02,920 prediction, I am going to talk about an expansion slot card. 1258 01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:05,080 That's what we're all doing, expansion slot cards. 1259 01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:09,280 And I am going to predict that there's going to be a Chaos 1260 01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:12,480 expansion slot card. It could be Chaos Assassin, but 1261 01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:15,280 I'm going to go with just Chaos. You don't think my? 1262 01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:16,960 Bet's a little bit. You don't think 1 is more likely 1263 01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:19,840 than the other? I'm not sure if one's going to 1264 01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,080 be more likely than the other. They may do a chaos expansion 1265 01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:25,440 slot and an assassin expansion slot and then I look like a fool 1266 01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:27,360 with egg on my face. But. 1267 01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:28,840 Yeah, then you just be dead wrong. 1268 01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:30,240 They said it would be one or the other. 1269 01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:36,320 No points for Claire. Yeah, that's how you guys have 1270 01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:41,760 gotten me in the past. But the reason why I like the 1271 01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:44,160 idea of there being an expansion slot card is because in an 1272 01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:48,880 interview, Brian Gottlieb said that they did design chaos 1273 01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:52,320 cards, but they didn't like how it interacted in the limited 1274 01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:55,840 environment, and so they just put them on ice. 1275 01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:58,560 And what do they like to do with cards that are on ice? 1276 01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:03,240 Put them into Rust, Put them into the expansion slot. 1277 01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:07,480 So I think that they are going to try to find some chaos 1278 01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:11,160 support in the expansion slot. And that's going to also be a 1279 01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:15,280 way of giving cards to Assassin right after everyone got really 1280 01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:17,360 sick of Assassin getting cards, right? 1281 01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:21,560 Like Marionette can still get some cards, still get some new 1282 01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:25,920 things for them without like ramping up the entire Assassin 1283 01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:28,680 class again. Have we seen a Chaos Assassin 1284 01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:30,160 card? They're all just chaos. 1285 01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:32,640 They're all just Chaos, which is why I think there might be a 1286 01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,280 Chaos Assassin card. They may have designed one for 1287 01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:38,080 Arachne Marionette and then just been like, well, it doesn't 1288 01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:40,800 really work with what we're doing in the set and like it 1289 01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:43,440 doesn't line up, so we're just going to put it somewhere else. 1290 01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:44,800 Tell. Him Do you want to go next? 1291 01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:48,800 Yeah. So Speaking of Riptide, I have a 1292 01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:51,160 prediction. It's a safe prediction. 1293 01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:55,800 I've been making every set for the last year and I I've been 1294 01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:57,480 doing great with this prediction. 1295 01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,320 Even whenever people said it wouldn't work. 1296 01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:04,120 It has, and that is that Riptide is going to have an expansion 1297 01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:05,480 slot. This is a Ranger set. 1298 01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:07,800 He's going to have an expansion slot. 1299 01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:10,840 He's down. In the pits was there was there 1300 01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:15,760 an assassin, ninja or warrior one last set was there a room 1301 01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:20,800 blade or wizard one In Rosetta was like I thought specifically 1302 01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:24,880 there are like the classes do not appear in the expansion so 1303 01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:27,560 technically. There was a light warrior 1304 01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,280 expansion slut inhunted so I don't know if you count that but 1305 01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:33,440 it does say warrior on there. There was Retrace the Past, 1306 01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:35,920 which is a katsu specialization in the Haunted. 1307 01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:40,840 Okay, see see. So there's so riptide's going to 1308 01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:43,040 happen. There's strong president. 1309 01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:46,680 Tide is just always going to get expansion slot from now until 1310 01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:50,160 the end of time. Like that's another precedent. 1311 01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,880 We have two precedents here, Clark, I know you're wanting for 1312 01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:57,440 specificity. So I will even go a little bit 1313 01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:00,200 further as to say what kind of expansion slot is it going to 1314 01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:02,080 be? And I'm not going to say traps. 1315 01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:03,960 I haven't said traps all episode. 1316 01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:05,600 I think there's going to be lots of traps. 1317 01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:07,920 I think that's ground fruit. I think if we're going to see 1318 01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:11,520 traps in this set and look at. Fallon coming up on the step 1319 01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:14,960 ladder, Yeah. But I think, and I almost put 1320 01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:17,680 this in the range of things, so if this gets in the set, I'm 1321 01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:18,920 going to be a little disappointed. 1322 01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:21,480 But if it's in the extension, I think that we're going to see a 1323 01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:24,640 majestic bow for Ranger that is geared towards Riptide's 1324 01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:27,840 gameplay. Because Death Dealer is about to 1325 01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:30,240 LL with Azalea. Especially with all these new 1326 01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:33,000 tools. Barbed Undertow is not good. 1327 01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:34,640 Dread Bore is great. I love Dread Bore. 1328 01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:37,000 I think it fits kind of what Riptide is trying to do. 1329 01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,280 But I think that they could make something that more specifically 1330 01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:42,880 fits his vibe and why I think it might be in the expansion slot 1331 01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:45,160 as opposed to the set. It's probably going to be in the 1332 01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:47,160 set, but this is where I had an extra prediction. 1333 01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:50,440 They have never printed majestic weapons or equipment in the sets 1334 01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:52,840 for like a year plus. No, but they did with the 1335 01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:55,840 Hunter's glave, right? No, that was expansion slot. 1336 01:06:56,360 --> 01:07:00,120 So there's so much precedent for printing support for classes. 1337 01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:03,240 OK, 100%. So I think, I think that Riptide 1338 01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:04,920 is that they're going to print a bow that is geared towards 1339 01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:05,800 Riptide. Yeah. 1340 01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:07,040 And I just can't wait to see who that is. 1341 01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:09,440 Yeah, 'cause you're getting it like. 1342 01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:11,320 Whatever town wants. Town does every. 1343 01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:15,320 Single. Let's do another fan prediction. 1344 01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:19,520 Ozzy Pepper says that he thinks we're going to get you ready for 1345 01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:20,680 this. Get this. 1346 01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:23,720 I drove my dust. Oh my. 1347 01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:26,400 God. This one for Asvalite. 1348 01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:28,200 You know we didn't. Get one last set. 1349 01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:31,360 For. There was no dust in Hunted for 1350 01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:33,920 Hunted, Yeah, no dust. We were dustless. 1351 01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:36,040 No there. Was no dust. 1352 01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,160 I know, shocking. With all the dumb eyes running, 1353 01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:44,280 that is. That is genuinely shocking. 1354 01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:45,640 I didn't know that. Shocking. 1355 01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:48,680 But it's only when they go away from Volk cores when they print 1356 01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:51,400 to dust so. That makes sense. 1357 01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:54,200 That's the Press of it. And Azali is the storm dragon 1358 01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:56,040 and storm on the high seas. I see it. 1359 01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:57,760 I see you, Aussie Pepper. And we're. 1360 01:07:57,760 --> 01:07:59,880 Gonna get manifestations of Azali. 1361 01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:06,320 Pitch 2 Blues, deal 10 Arcane to your the fucking game. 1362 01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:09,240 I think we all hope that you're wrong, but thank you for the 1363 01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:11,360 shout out the prediction. Aussie pepper. 1364 01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:13,440 I know that Aussie Pepper doesn't hope he's wrong. 1365 01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:15,320 He he loves collecting the dusts. 1366 01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:19,680 I'm going to go next. I think there's going to be the 1367 01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:23,760 first ever 0 for four charge card. 1368 01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:26,439 Wow. We're just doing the talent 1369 01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:28,840 strategy of like, they're just going to keep giving Bolton. 1370 01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:32,080 Cards, I swear to God, I mean. Except the president is that 1371 01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:34,319 they never do. No, they have. 1372 01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:37,319 Bolton got one last set. Bolton got one in bright lights. 1373 01:08:37,319 --> 01:08:40,160 Bolton also got one, I want to say in one of the other sets in 1374 01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:42,439 2024. There was an Armory deck. 1375 01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:45,439 There was an Armory deck. But the first set with expansion 1376 01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,560 slots and that's two. I don't know but I hope it you 1377 01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:50,479 need it. You need these damn 0 for. 1378 01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:53,640 Four first zero for four charge card other than express 1379 01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:55,080 lightning. Sorry, sorry, sorry. 1380 01:08:56,120 --> 01:09:00,240 A good zero for four charge card, preferably with go again. 1381 01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:01,760 I'll take it without it. I'll take it without it. 1382 01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:04,920 I but I would preferably like go again. 1383 01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:08,160 Express lightning isn't good. Joel, do you guys not run 1384 01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:10,960 Express Lightning? Didn't they already print like a 1385 01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:15,000 0 for three that if you banish that if you charge a yellow it 1386 01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,200 becomes a 0 for four, essentially giving it go again? 1387 01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:18,760 That sounds like a 0 for three Clark. 1388 01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:23,080 Thank you, someone's listening to me on the fucking podcast. 1389 01:09:24,359 --> 01:09:28,120 Yeah, BB bravado is almost a 0 for four, but you want a 0 for 1390 01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:29,600 four. I said what I said. 1391 01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:32,960 If that's not expressed. Like I'm giving up a card. 1392 01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:36,760 You want a zero for with go. Again, that'd be gas, yeah. 1393 01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:43,120 Can't a man? Dream. 1394 01:09:43,399 --> 01:09:47,240 Is it too much to ask? I mean, they're your. 1395 01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:51,240 Point. This is beyond the point. 1396 01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:55,240 This is about principle, man. He's the first one after your 1397 01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:58,560 beta and alpha set. Show him some love, you know, 1398 01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:08,160 fucking podcasters, man. So N21 LV has predicted that in 1399 01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:13,160 the expansion slot, we are getting the long-awaited Betsy 1400 01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:17,040 Law. This is another one that comes 1401 01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:20,760 up every time you stupid convictions but but surely, 1402 01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:24,600 surely this is the set. But N2 NLV brings a good point. 1403 01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:28,720 It's like, maybe it's like a broken mast that she found and 1404 01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:33,440 it's like the ship mast and boats and high seas and Betsy. 1405 01:10:33,440 --> 01:10:36,880 Log That's a great point, and not at all Kobe. 1406 01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:39,240 That's so funny. My friend Garrett was also 1407 01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:41,600 saying something similar. He was like, guys, I was wrong 1408 01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:45,880 previously, Previously. See, I said surely in Rosetta we 1409 01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:49,040 get it 'cause Rosetta has trees. Trees are made of wood. 1410 01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:50,960 You make it a log out of that like. 1411 01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:55,720 But wait, high seas is on boats. Boats are made out of wood and 1412 01:10:55,960 --> 01:11:02,400 what's the logic? So surely anytime, anytime 1413 01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:04,520 there's the possibility of what it's like Betsy walking. 1414 01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:08,760 Guys, it's going to be crazy. Whatever at Nats this year. 1415 01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:11,760 The finals is like Betsy swinging in with a log. 1416 01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:14,960 Bolton has to block with all cards but one. 1417 01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:22,760 That one card, 0 for four. The future is now, baby. 1418 01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:36,120 Oh my God, that's funny. Clark, I think you never used 1419 01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:39,360 your bonus prediction. Oh my gosh, I don't think I ever 1420 01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:41,760 did use my bonus prediction. Do you think maybe you can like 1421 01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:45,760 improvise one off the cuff? Yeah, definitely not one just 1422 01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:49,480 written here in the notes. I don't really care about the 1423 01:11:49,480 --> 01:11:51,640 expansion slot, I don't really know what directions they want 1424 01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:53,760 to go in. I feel kind of aimless with what 1425 01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:56,400 LSS is trying to do with a lot of classes right now. 1426 01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:58,960 OK, first of all, that's what makes this part so fun, because 1427 01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:02,120 you can say whatever you want. Yeah, but I like being right. 1428 01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:09,000 It's worked out great for me, being one against both of your 1429 01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:16,200 two. But my bonus prediction is going 1430 01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:20,520 to be that there's not going to be a lot of generic or universal 1431 01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:23,520 gold generation. And I say this primarily because 1432 01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:26,840 looking at the macro, it generates gold. 1433 01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:31,080 Why would the macro generate gold if there's gonna be a bunch 1434 01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:34,480 of gold generation in the set? Because there isn't going to be, 1435 01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:39,840 I think that they want gold generation to be a little bit 1436 01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:42,600 heavier and limited so that people are using their hero 1437 01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:44,280 abilities. But the moment that you go to 1438 01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:46,680 constructed, time to be build arounds, right? 1439 01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:49,960 Time to be your majestics. It's time to be, you know, your 1440 01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:53,040 big splashy effects. Maybe you need to run wage gold 1441 01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:55,720 money where your mouth is and you got to find other ways of 1442 01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:57,600 generating gold for your hero abilities. 1443 01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:00,840 But in terms of limited, yeah, fuck it, everyone get a bunch of 1444 01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:03,760 gold and it's going to be attached to the macro. 1445 01:13:04,440 --> 01:13:07,320 If I may, Clark, I think you're on to something because the 1446 01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:12,000 Rosetta macro was a arcane prevention macro in the way that 1447 01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:15,520 the sort of arcane prevention in that limited environment was 1448 01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:18,360 getting a lot of life to offset the arcane damage. 1449 01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:21,160 And then there wasn't that many ways to prevent arcane damage 1450 01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:23,080 specifically. You had to like, you know, still 1451 01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:26,720 running over boots or, you know, maybe arcane polarity if you had 1452 01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:28,920 a really if you wanted a specific tech piece. 1453 01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:30,720 So I think you're on to something there for sure. 1454 01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:36,000 That's it, those are my 2 predictions in the Arsenal zone. 1455 01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:38,800 Well, I think that Rep out wraps up our episode. 1456 01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:41,960 Yeah, it's a really big shame that like Captain Hornswoggle 1457 01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:43,080 couldn't join us for this episode. 1458 01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:45,080 I bet he would have fucking loved it. 1459 01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:47,240 He brought so much insight to as a pirate. 1460 01:13:47,480 --> 01:13:49,120 Yeah, he would have. All of his predictions would 1461 01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:52,080 have been accurate 100% I. Bet you he got a spoiler card 1462 01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:54,200 and we would have been able to talk about it today. 1463 01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:56,960 But you know. Maybe that's why he is kind of 1464 01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:59,400 ghosted you guys a little bit. He's on an NDA. 1465 01:13:59,440 --> 01:14:01,640 You know, he doesn't accidentally leak anything. 1466 01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:02,880 Yeah. Captain. 1467 01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:09,560 Hornswoggle Ghost necromancers Hones. 1468 01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:17,000 Is Captain Hornswoggle the dead? Did he die to the Kraken? 1469 01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:19,000 Is he going to show up as an undead ghost? 1470 01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:21,720 You know, I've never seen him and Captain Gravy Bones in the 1471 01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:25,160 same place at the same time. I'm sorry, Captain Gravy Bones. 1472 01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:27,680 He's just gravy bones. Oh, gravy bones. 1473 01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:29,120 What?

What's a golden cog? 1501 01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:31,000 I'm thinking that like, it's a pretty safe assumption that this 1502 01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:33,400 cog is gonna crank. You can be cranking your cock 1503 01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:33,800 cranking. Oh. 1504 01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:38,920 My God. Nothing I love more than 1505 01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:42,320 cranking my cog with my boys. My just cranking cogs. 1506 01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:44,760 Cranking what with your parrot with? 1507 01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:47,480 The parrot Parrot. Is he really nothing about 1508 01:16:47,480 --> 01:16:49,520 cranking cogs for the next like four months? 1509 01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:54,000 I can just imagine Han being like I don't really like this 1510 01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:57,360 mechanologist but I get to say cranking my cog so. 1511 01:16:57,640 --> 01:17:01,560 Can you imagine the casters? He's cranking his cog, the other 1512 01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:03,200 person's cranking his cog, and response. 1513 01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:09,560 Yes, we are 9 year olds. I think it's a pretty safe 1514 01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:12,920 assumption that golden cogs are going to be crankable. 1515 01:17:20,440 --> 01:17:25,160 Go on. There might be some text on 1516 01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:26,520 there, like if it's tapped you can't attach. 1517 01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:28,920 Totally, and I think there should be, right? 1518 01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:32,720 Unless you can tap it four times so you go tap to the right. 1519 01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:36,040 Tap, then tap. Again to the left and then tap 1520 01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:38,640 all the way up like that would. Actually be a really dope 1521 01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:43,120 mechanic in like a clockwork based class where like it as it 1522 01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:46,600 goes through the time positions and like there's a marker on the 1523 01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:51,560 card border for like is it noon 3 o'clock 6:00 and 9:00? 1524 01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:53,120 I think we've got our next episode. 1525 01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:56,480 That's some flesh of blood, like 9.0 stuff, you know? 1526 01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:57,760 Yeah. That's that. 1527 01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:00,760 We're getting into the gimmicks. That's like after universe is. 1528 01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:07,000 Beyond this is like the 14th secret layer down the line.
