Haunted gave us nothing. 14 00:00:58,430 --> 00:01:01,320 It was just like, came haunted. I kind of like how they're, like 15 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,120 expanding on the story, right? Where like we get to see like 16 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,560 these different chapters in flesh and blood story play out. 17 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,760 I kind of like that, you know, where it's all connected. 18 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,360 Yeah, but like, who doesn't love pirates? 19 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,600 The hype for haunted didn't really start until they said 20 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,440 like this is the dagger set. That's what everyone was like. 21 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:17,200 Ohhh. Yeah. 22 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,720 OK but high seas?

Slash swashbucklers. 31 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:41,960 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a really fun episode, 32 00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:43,640 Quizos.

Whatever happened to him? 35 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,360 Fuzzy. Really. 36 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,720 Oh, sorry, I I have to take this. 37 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,680 OK.

Wait, what? 40 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:08,160 Boys, I thought I got the cast onto my laptop computer. 41 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,520 Pisces.

Oh, it's OK. 46 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,120 I there's time. There's time before pitching 47 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,400 predictions, yes. Yeah, pitching predictions. 48 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,120 We're not going to do that for like another couple of months 49 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,440 probably. OK. 50 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,200 OK. So if I go around India and then 51 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:40,680 around Africa and then I go back and then back again, OK. 52 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,840 And then I go with. Those just meet us in Long 53 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,600 Beach, CA. I can make it to Long Beach, I 54 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,360 promise. I'm on my way, everybody. 55 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,640 No, wait. Sorry boys, there might be a 56 00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:54,360 delay. There's some pirates on the 57 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,560 distance. Oh no, Captain Hornswoggle, are 58 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,120 you going to be OK? Probably not, but I'll make 2. 59 00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:03,600 I just have. I may have one less limb when I 60 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,240 get better. Sorry, I kind of got a whizzed 61 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,080 over me head there. I'm on my way. 62 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,120 I'll see you soon, boys. Well, good luck, Captain 63 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,240 Hornswoggle. Stay safe. 64 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,000 Love that guy. Man, talk about the wrong hood, 65 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,880 you know what I mean? Yeah, where? 66 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,200 Where was he? Like in the South Indies. 67 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,280 I think he was on his way to Long Beach, Florida. 68 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,120 Is there a Long Beach Florida? There's a lot of long beaches. 69 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,400 I know there's one in Mississippi. 70 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,000 Weird. Yeah. 71 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,200 Hope he doesn't go there, no? I specified Long Beach, CA Yeah, 72 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,160 you're pretty clear. He's a pretty good pirate 73 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,600 captain. I think he'll be fine. 74 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,400 Oh no, he was getting attacked by pirates. 75 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,000 I'm not sure if he heard you. That's normal pirate behavior. 76 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,040 Yeah, true. I'd be concerned if he wasn't 77 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,080 being attacked by pirates. It comes with the territory. 78 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,800 He knows what he got himself into, yeah. 79 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,640 Before we get into the main body of the episode, we want to 80 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,920 remind everyone that we launched our Patreon recently. 81 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,880 It's been really cool seeing people sign up so early on. 82 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,040 We're so grateful to everyone who's joined our Patreon 83 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,800 already. So if you want to join those 84 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,640 skilled individuals on our Patreon, you can search Pitch to 85 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:08,960 Me podcast. That's where we are. 86 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,480 Yeah, shout out to everyone who joined so far. 87 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,080 Thank you so much for showing your support for the show, and 88 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,480 we're so, so excited to get into our Matches Crucible with you 89 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,040 guys. Yeah, this month's of Crucible 90 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,640 format is uncommoner, so we're playing with just rares and 91 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,560 majestics and legendaries. You know, fun stuff. 92 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,560 So our setup for this episode, this is going to be slightly odd 93 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,920 because normally with every single set we just do like the 94 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,840 pigeon predictions and then like a set review and a limited 95 00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:36,360 opinions. Yeah, we just couldn't stop 96 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,680 ourselves from talking about the set. 97 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,800 We're just too excited, I think. We're also lucky because we're 98 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,200 so far ahead of any other information right? 99 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,120 Like with pigeon predictions, we've always wondered when is 100 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,840 the right time to do it because if we do it too soon, then like, 101 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,400 OK, what do we spend all this time talking about when they're 102 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,520 just going to like reveal everything immediately 103 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,400 afterwards? But now, like high seas is like 104 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,760 four months away, guys. Like it's not until June. 105 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,600 Yeah, this might be the first time when we're not like, 106 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,600 immediately invalidated by an LSS spoiler. 107 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,680 So we thought, why not jump into the hype and do some 108 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,520 speculating? Yeah, I just wish you wouldn't 109 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,280 say it out loud like that, because now I feel like they're 110 00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:16,400 gonna give us some more information like. 111 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,720 They totally good. We are. 112 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,720 We are recording this on Tuesday, February 11th. 113 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,200 So for this episode, for Red Pitch, Joel's gonna walk us 114 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:31,560 through some new classes or talents that we may see in the 115 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,040 new set, High Seas. In Yellow Pitch, Clark's going 116 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,960 to walk us through some of the mechanics that might pop up into 117 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,400 the nitty gritty mechanical stuff. 118 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,520 And in Blue Pitch, I, Fuzzy will be talking about some of the 119 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,800 returning classes or talents that we might see show up. 120 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,840 It's all speculation, right? We don't know anything, but 121 00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:49,080 we're going to talk as if we see what we were hoping. 122 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,680 We're the experts. Listen to that. 123 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,360 This is going to. It's also going to be pretty 124 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,000 free flowing, right? This is not like us preparing a 125 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,360 ton of notes. It's just like, here are the 126 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,560 things that we want to talk about. 127 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,240 We're devolving into that stream of consciousness. 128 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,440 This podcast that you're so used to. 129 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,200 So yeah, enjoy. So Joel, why don't you kick us 130 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,200 off with red pitch? All right, now if you're 131 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,880 watching the dev talk with Brian Go and James White, you know 132 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,160 they confirmed pirates are coming to the high seas. 133 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,360 So let's talk about pirates first. 134 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,800 Do we think it's going to be a Class A talent OR some of the 135 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,880 third thing? That's really cool. 136 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,000 And yeah. Could it? 137 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,520 Could it just be aesthetic, right? 138 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,480 It could just be like Pirate Rangers, you know? 139 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,280 Sure, sure. It's a possibility. 140 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,880 You know what, what I was thinking is I think they might 141 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,960 be incentivized to not add like a new class or talent and 142 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,840 instead they might do something like stealth. 143 00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:49,440 Stay with me here. So stealth, it means nothing on 144 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,400 a card, right? It gets affected by other 145 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,120 things. So similar to stealth, like 146 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,520 stealth doesn't really mean anything on its own but instead 147 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,680 gets affected by other cards. If your hero is pirate, it would 148 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,640 it would have maybe different or each attack action would have 149 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,040 different effects based on which hero plays it. 150 00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:09,600 And in that way you can make new cards mechanics, but you could 151 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,880 still give support to like for instance if there's a pirate 152 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:18,800 Ranger in this like metaphorical pirate means nothing class 153 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,240 identity, so you give support for Ranger itself and allow a 154 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,320 cool limited environment with pirate Ranger. 155 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,000 OK, so you're saying like there wouldn't be there would be 156 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,200 pirate heroes, but there wouldn't be like any pirate 157 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:38,800 cards, like no cards to go into the deck or equipment labeled 158 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,760 pirate, right? It would just be like. 159 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,400 Like the royal Talent? Yeah, yeah, yeah. 160 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,760 Like Art of the Dragon, like Art of the Dragon series, where if 161 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,880 it's draconic, it gets a bonus effect, but it would be a little 162 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,600 bit more modal than that. Because I think, you know, 163 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,760 giving support to Ranger would still be good because it's been 164 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,800 a while since they've had a set. Yeah. 165 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,680 I could see like, you know, like LSS has has been a while since 166 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,200 they've delved into the Ranger class. 167 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,320 So maybe they've been holding back so much because we're about 168 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,080 to get a massive overhaul where they get this big expansion of 169 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,920 design space, a whole new keyword where they're 170 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,840 swashbuckling and pirating around. 171 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,480 And yeah. Well, we're talking a bit too 172 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,440 much about like returning stuff, right? 173 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,920 Like like these Rangers with pirates, like are they going to 174 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,560 do a pirate class? I think they totally could. 175 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,640 It would be a little odd though, right? 176 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,360 Because so much of people's outline of what classes are 177 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,320 going to be in Flesh and Blood comes from that profession page 178 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,760 from the old school lore book. But notably, that lore book 179 00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:40,039 didn't even have all of the classes that we ended up getting 180 00:08:40,039 --> 00:08:41,960 in the first like Year of Flesh and Blood. 181 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,000 I mean, I could also see pirate being like a more enterprising 182 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,560 occupation in the world of Wraith or in the world of 183 00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:50,360 Flushable than it is, like how we know it. 184 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,520 So they could make it work in their lore. 185 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,480 I don't know. And I think you, Clark, have 186 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,320 been especially vocal about how LSS needs to, like, put more 187 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,400 work and effort into their world building and their lore. 188 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:02,920 So maybe this is just a part of that. 189 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,360 Yeah. I think I kind of have to bring 190 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,800 up the elephant in the room here, which is like, can the 191 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,320 game handle another class being added? 192 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,760 Because when it came to Assassin, like there was some 193 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,800 growing pains for like another class being introduced. 194 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,840 That like there's an opportunity cost there where they can only 195 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,160 print so much support and they can only give so much like to 196 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,000 the game at one time. And the more classes there are, 197 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,760 the longer the line is for your class to get support directed at 198 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,800 you in the future, you know? Certainly, but I think they've 199 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,920 actually done a pretty good job of helping fix that recently 200 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,880 through things like the Armory decks here, the expansion slot, 201 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,880 like it's done a wonderful job of actually helping me during 202 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,800 things out. I think Rangers would have been 203 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,400 complaining a while ago if it wasn't for the fact that they 204 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,080 had this like steady drip of new cards. 205 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,360 But in terms of like, is there room for a new class? 206 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,880 Just is that even a possibility? I think yes, but I don't think 207 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,440 they can do it the same way that they did assassin because with 208 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,080 assassin they over printed assassin to give them an 209 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,200 equivalently sized card. Pool. 210 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,840 You mean like they kept returning to Assassin over and 211 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,720 over again? Yes, they kept printing 212 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,320 assassin. Like the fact that we got 3 213 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,000 draftable assassin sets within like a year and a half is pretty 214 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,760 ridiculous right? Like no other classes had that 215 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:29,440 density of printing ever. And so like, I would like to see 216 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,600 them try a strategy where they learn from that, where they go. 217 00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:35,400 I think people got pretty sick of seeing assassin all the time. 218 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,800 So next time we had a class of flesh and blood, we're going to 219 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,080 be more OK eking it out over time. 220 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,960 Especially because after Outsiders, assassins still felt 221 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,640 pretty OK. Oh yeah, absolutely. 222 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,280 Technically Ninja got that much support because didn't they 223 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,640 print a ninja in every assassin draftable set? 224 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,280 Yes, though I suppose you could argue just how much they really 225 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,320 got in Outsiders. But yes, fuzzy, there are a ton 226 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,120 of Ninja cards because Ninjas gotten printed alongside 227 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,320 Assassin. Yeah, every single time. 228 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:12,040 I'm also wondering if there's like a third way they could do a 229 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,400 limited set like this. Obviously when bright lights 230 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,840 hit, that was because there was one mechanologist for a very 231 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,160 long time with probably the smallest card pool next to 232 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,880 assassin. So what they did to remedy that 233 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,280 was the one class set. And I think a lot of people 234 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,520 speculated or like wished they would never do this again. 235 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,320 Like especially if you were not a mechanologist fan. 236 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,080 However, everybody objectively loves pirates, and if you think 237 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,520 differently, you're wrong first and foremost. 238 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,000 You think this is a single class set? 239 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,000 I think it could be, I think like if they're, if they're 240 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,560 committed to remedy or like, you know, learning from their 241 00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:53,320 mistakes about how how they like essentially botched the launch 242 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,680 of assassin. Like I think Assassin's getting 243 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,960 really solid support now and it's a mainstay in flesh and 244 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,040 blood meta. But yeah, if if they're trying 245 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,560 to fix the issues of that and release pirates in any light, I 246 00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:08,560 think like all pirates would be kind of cool. 247 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,880 A single class set for the release is interesting, but the 248 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,440 the mastery packs have kind of taken that place, right? 249 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,000 That's true. That's true. 250 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,200 And so like it's one of the reasons why I don't think we're 251 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,320 getting Guardian this year is because we have Mastery Pack 252 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,000 Guardian. They've just taken the Guardian 253 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,200 designs that they wanted to print and put it into that 254 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,520 product. Why would you then also feel the 255 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,960 need to put it into this draftable set? 256 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,240 That is true. I think what could be really 257 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,920 likely if they wanted to jump start this identity is to make 258 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,920 it a talent similar to Mystic. Like we saw three Mystic heroes 259 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,960 in the same set when the talent was introduced. 260 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,120 And they could do do a similar thing here with pirate. 261 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,000 Make a pirate Ranger a pirate. I don't know. 262 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,360 We'll talk about some other classes that we expect. 263 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,720 If Pirate is a talent then they could certainly do that. 264 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,280 And incorporate it that way. Yeah, I want Blackbeard so bad. 265 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,680 It's a lot easier to took a staple into like whatever 266 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,680 glasses they want and suddenly there's so many pirates in the 267 00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:07,240 game and a variety of flavors that you can. 268 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,440 End with contrary to how people feel about Mystic, they did 269 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,960 release with a lot of really good stuff and they were very 270 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,800 powerful and they're still very relevant. 271 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,480 So I think they could do that with Pyre very easily and they 272 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,280 would be good heroes, even though they it's just like their 273 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:22,440 inaugural set. Yeah. 274 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,840 I think the lesson that I really learned from Partha Misfail is 275 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:31,120 that you don't necessarily need a large amount of cards, right? 276 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,360 It can just be the few really well designed, good cards that 277 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,400 are solid, you know? Yeah. 278 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,400 And I think we also need to be careful about equating like 279 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:46,240 power and meta relevance with good design and like it being 280 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,720 fun and healthy because they're they, they are definitely 281 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,760 separate, right? Leviah is still fun and 282 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,040 interestingly designed without being relevant in the meta. 283 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,480 True, and that doesn't make me upset. 284 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,720 I mean I wish Leviah was better but like I'm still happy that I 285 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,000 have this like well designed thing that I love and get to 286 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,080 play. You know, the other thing that 287 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,360 like a class is differentiated, you know, the other thing that 288 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,320 differentiates a class from a talent as far as like printing 289 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,760 support for it. You know, like we don't print 290 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,400 support for talents very often, but there's an expectation for 291 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,240 classes that we visited like at least once in a while, like the 292 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,880 light talent. We saw two sets in the entire 293 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,080 history of the game that have light talent in them other than 294 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,480 like expansion slot cards, right? 295 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,520 And that kind of feels like enough. 296 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,480 Yeah, no one's clamouring for like the next light set. 297 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,120 I mean, like, it would be cool or like Earth talent, right? 298 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,640 There's only two sets that have ever had the Earth talent in 299 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,760 them, and it kind of feels OK it the precedent is there, you 300 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,760 know? Do you think like pirate as an 301 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,480 aesthetic identity is something that we would want to return to 302 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,240 repeatedly or like once every other year? 303 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,200 I think if they do it well they can kind of like hold off of 304 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,920 printing more. I think, I think occasionally, 305 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,160 especially because they are so attached to very specific 306 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,040 locations, which I think could be a struggle, Right, Yeah. 307 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,160 Like, it's really hard to put a pirate in landlocked Solana, 308 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:17,040 Yeah. Sure. 309 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,160 But like if we go to the demonastery and we do like a 310 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,560 demonastery set, are there going to be Pirates of the 311 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,040 demonastery? Or like is it going to be an 312 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,640 undead pirate like a shadow pirate? 313 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,880 So this is where like we mentioned this in our pirate 314 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,400 custom class episode, but if we do a little tweak and we call 315 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,880 them swashbuckler instead, this is like an idea that you had. 316 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,720 I want to credit you, Clark. You were the one who like 317 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,920 mentioned this in the past. But like it seems so smart to 318 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,920 me. Like a swashbuckler could be 319 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,080 anyone that could just be like a Trixie individual who likes 320 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,160 mischief and is there making fun of all the people having their 321 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,360 Great War over the war between like angels and demons, You 322 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,760 know, like it makes me think of like Tibalt for Magic the 323 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,840 Gathering or even like Ashy. I love that guy. 324 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,120 He's such a piece of shit, but I love him so much. 325 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,760 Like it's easy to insert an ancillary character that's just 326 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,680 everyone likes them because they don't give a fuck. 327 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,760 Like that's a swashbuckler to me, you know, with just a little 328 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,880 bit more of like a medieval fantasy flavor and then bada 329 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,640 Bing bada boom. It wouldn't be that hard to 330 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,880 stick one in like any set. Yeah, I I definitely think that, 331 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,480 like, if it's going to be a class or a talent, it would need 332 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,040 to be widened out a little bit from Pirates. 333 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,480 That's what makes me think that Pirates might just be an 334 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,960 aesthetic choice. Yeah, and we get these other 335 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,320 classes just in the flavor of Pirates. 336 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,800 But that isn't the only brand new thing people have speculated 337 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,320 on coming here. That's true. 338 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,120 They've also been really obsessed with the idea of 339 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,080 necromancers coming to flesh and blood. 340 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,040 Oh. Yeah, baby, that's the other 341 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,520 custom, Yeah. Yeah, didn't we? 342 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,960 Didn't we do that episode also? You know that we. 343 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,080 Did I mean you can only get a here at Pitch to Me podcast? 344 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,000 Hit a mix the fuck up. I actually really love that 345 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,560 episode, like when I think back to like how well we each created 346 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,359 3 unique identities that all felt very necromancer and like 347 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,200 unique mechanically in the game. That was a great episode. 348 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,480 Yeah, I did enjoy that one. So what do we think for a 349 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:19,760 Necromancer class or talent? I think class It is on the 350 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,760 professions page from the war book. 351 00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:24,280 If they were to do it, I think it would be class. 352 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,040 Is it really like right now? Yes, it is. 353 00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:30,560 Wow. And I also think a reason why 354 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,360 necromancer is highly likely for high seas is because did you see 355 00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:37,600 that video? It was like dark. 356 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,200 I did not. It it was really dark and 357 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,400 stormy. Necromancers or notorious night 358 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,720 owls? Yeah, and the logo was a bright 359 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,000 green. It was like a bright ghostly 360 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,680 green, which is what we have seen with the, like, necromancer 361 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,840 spoiled cards, like cut through the facade, right? 362 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,880 Those ghosts that are flying around in that art are sort of 363 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,200 like the like, bright, sickly green. 364 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,400 And I'm also really thinking about. 365 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:08,400 I think it's called glyph overlay or glyph something. 366 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,200 Yeah, that one has a pirate ship out at. 367 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,120 Sea and that Lady in the. Water. 368 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,080 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know a lot of magic in 369 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,480 the set it feels like. Yeah, which kind of ties into my 370 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,400 vision of Necromancer as being another arcane class. 371 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,120 Sure, sure. Ick. 372 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:27,800 Understandable, have a great day. 373 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,480 I can also see it though I don't think they would want to return 374 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,520 to allies, although they have been printing really good Ally I 375 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,320 hate lately. Yeah, but it could. 376 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,920 It could be. Bones, skeletons 100% be allies, 377 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,720 yeah. Although like, you know, in 378 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,720 Necromancer would probably have like really fragile allies that 379 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,200 could have like a whole another way of being balanced, you know? 380 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,800 Yeah, Yeah, I would. I would like to see how LSS 381 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,840 returns to allies in the near future outside of Illusion, Yes. 382 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,680 And if you think about their stated goals for 2025 when the 383 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,800 things was about like printing, the ability for people to deal 384 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,680 with these strategies, Yep, allies are one of those 385 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,400 strategies that we need more tools for in the game. 386 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,720 And it would be a really good baseline for ally hate for when 387 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,320 they do drone my 2.0 eventually. Or even like the Armory deck 388 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,400 would come out around high seas time. 389 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,400 We have Armory decks I think there's along with the Aurora 390 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,800 one. I think we have two more really 391 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,360 into high seas before high seas. It's either one or two. 392 00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:28,080 I can't remember if the two included Aurora or didn't. 393 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,760 I do remember there was going to be a bunch back-to-back in the 394 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,720 middle of the year. See, that's exciting. 395 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,760 That's what's helping us like, keep the meta fresh throughout 396 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,960 like these four months. Yeah, I've really enjoyed the 397 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,560 Armory decks, so we talked a little bit about the classes, 398 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,200 but we've left out talent. Does anyone have any grand ideas 399 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,800 for talents? I have one myself. 400 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,040 You go first, Joel. OK. 401 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,840 Yeah, I want to hear Joel. You wrote things in these notes 402 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,240 that I just want to hear you talking about. 403 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,440 Dude, so OK, this is kind of a long one. 404 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,080 Fuzzy made this comment about like, you know, what would, what 405 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,000 would even the magic be like if there was like a room blade or a 406 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,080 wizard? You know what I mean? 407 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,760 And I think he said like storm or like controlling storms or 408 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,000 whatever. And so I was like, hmm, well 409 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,480 what if it's like storm magic or like essence of storm? 410 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:20,640 As a magic source. Or and what if they're called 411 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,720 like or like they're storm striders and then Storm striders 412 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,440 is already a wizard equipment. So what if there's wizard 413 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,840 pirates and they wear the storm striders? 414 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,520 I mean one, I mean, we'll we'll get to this in blue page, but 415 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,040 about returning when we talk about Wizards, I just had to get 416 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,360 it all out. I'll hold on to my little 417 00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:45,440 factoid until then, OK, But I love the essence of storm shout 418 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:50,000 because one, we have the fire talent with Draconic, we have 419 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,200 the ice talent, we have lightning, we have earth, but we 420 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,320 don't really have water, right? We can. 421 00:20:55,320 --> 00:21:00,320 Have like a dual talented hero that's like the essence of ice 422 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,480 and storm like that could just be really badass. 423 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,080 See, that's cool, that's really cool. 424 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,360 That's so cool. But I I also love this because 425 00:21:10,360 --> 00:21:14,560 one of the first cards where people really started talking 426 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,680 about this potential set right when like it started to be 427 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,360 feeling more real because we started seeing clues and cards 428 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,480 was Truce. Yes. 429 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:27,280 And Truce had someone from Metrics shaking hands with 430 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,360 someone from Aria over a map of the ocean. 431 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,200 So the shout out of Aria I think is really interesting in getting 432 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,960 Elemental Heroes again. But with Essence of Storm, 433 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:44,200 you're really, really cool. Yeah, I'm baking that one for 434 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,400 pitching predictions. And it'd be really easy to tie 435 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,920 into like the lightning talent that already exists. 436 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,440 Yeah, yeah, they would need to be careful of that. 437 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,720 But I feel like if they root storm in water, which again 438 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,360 looking at that intro video you got, we got to use the clues 439 00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:02,200 that we have. This intro video is a ship in 440 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,800 the middle of a storm. It is rocky oceans. 441 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,000 It is dark. Like it doesn't have to be 442 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,160 lightning and Thunder. And if you actually think about 443 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,680 what storms look like a lot of the times on the ocean. 444 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,960 It's not a bunch of lightning and Thunder, it's giant waves 445 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,920 and like, torrential downpour. Yeah, yeah. 446 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,600 I think there's so, so much richness to the aesthetic of 447 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,000 like, ships in like terrible seas, terrible storms and 448 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,800 pirates. I'm just so excited about it. 449 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:35,240 Hurricanes, hurricanes and typhoons, because I'm also 450 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,360 thinking like because they they are rooting this in Southeast 451 00:22:38,360 --> 00:22:40,120 Asia, right. The world premieres in Southeast 452 00:22:40,120 --> 00:22:42,040 Asia. It's super weird for me to make 453 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,520 this connection, but like I know that area deals with like a lot 454 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,560 of hurricanes and tropical storms. 455 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,520 Oh, that's. Awful. 456 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,000 It's full like we deal with earthquakes, they deal with 457 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,080 that. Everyone's got their own 458 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,040 natural. That's true. 459 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,760 That's true. We also have wildfires. 460 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,320 I really want to see some krakens too. 461 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,840 Oh yeah, fucking giant monster. Sea Monster. 462 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,680 I want to see the monster from Agile wind up show up. 463 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:12,240 Oh, yes, oh, what a good oh, that's such a good call. 464 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,400 Yeah, dude, what? What if we see a return to like 465 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,280 the deathmatch arena in some way that. 466 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,920 'D be interesting. I don't know how they do that. 467 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,280 You know, if they have like a port at the deathmatch arena and 468 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,640 that's how they get in, like their maybe they're fighters or 469 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:29,240 whatever. I don't know. 470 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,680 I'm just making weird connections now. 471 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,000 There's a lot of Spooks in the Flesh and Blood Lord, they've 472 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,160 just been kind of hanging out in backgrounds of arts and I'd be 473 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:37,360 excited to see some more of them. 474 00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:40,440 Yeah, yeah, I, I big, big monsters. 475 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:41,880 Big scary monsters. Me like. 476 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,080 I love big monsters. Yeah, yeah, One thought I had to 477 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,200 while you're monologuing about the towns, Clark, is can we get 478 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,880 elements by themselves? Like we've only ever gotten 479 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,600 them, you know, paired with something else like Draconic and 480 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,080 Ice, all the Aria elements, and then with Rosetta we got Earth 481 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,880 and lightning. So what if we just get a 482 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,880 lightning like? So like, I ain't got no class, 483 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,720 but I Got Talent. Like, like what? 484 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,960 What if, Well, you're saying like they've always put at least 485 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,520 two elemental talents in a class. 486 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,840 This could be an instance where they just do one. 487 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,320 Yeah. I just think like if they were 488 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,280 to sprinkle it in that way, they could get like Lexi in there. 489 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,280 Yeah. I mean, to be honest, the Lexi 490 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,640 replacement is the last replacement that I think we're 491 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,600 waiting on, right. It's Drumai and Lexi who who 492 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,280 went out at approximately the same time roundabouts. 493 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,880 Yeah, yeah, and she could be the new Storm user because she's ice 494 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,520 and lightning. Absolutely. 495 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,880 You know, that's like water and lightning and the same. 496 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,000 Anyways, that's all I got. Thank you for enjoying my 497 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,960 rambling. I think now we should go into 498 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,760 like something a little bit more structured, like the mechanics. 499 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,960 Clark, what do you got for us? Yeah. 500 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,040 So for yellow pitch, we want to talk about some of the 501 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,400 mechanics, both new and returning, that we may see. 502 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,200 And so I want to ease us in a little bit by talking about what 503 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,240 I think is probably the most likely. 504 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,600 James White has confirmed Pirates. 505 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,040 And you know what Pirates love? Are booty. 506 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:15,640 Booty gold baby. Make it rain. 507 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,960 Maybe even some gemstones in there, yeah. 508 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,000 So shout out to Fussy's pitch, right? 509 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,080 What? Way, way back when. 510 00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:27,120 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. In the in the pirate. 511 00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:30,560 Episode yeah yeah yeah you had I had like gold token support yeah 512 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:35,280 booty so. Gold makes 1A ton of aesthetic 513 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,720 sense if we're going to be doing pirates in the way that we've 514 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:42,320 seen them on like nip at the heels or in shelter the storm. 515 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,600 Yeah, it's why it's so easy for us to imagine Merchant being in 516 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,880 this set, right? Yeah, gold is something that 517 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:52,040 feels very applicable. And with new gold support means, 518 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,000 hey, we should probably be casting and looking at some of 519 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,200 those heavy hitters heroes, right? 520 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,640 Like with more gold support, Betsy's headpiece comes online 521 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,080 quicker and online and faster and more reliably. 522 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:09,000 With more gold support, Victor's drawing more cards like an 523 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:14,080 Olympia has a Olympia honestly has a workable specialization. 524 00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:16,680 Do we also think this could be the return of Wager? 525 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,960 Oh, it can happen. I think pirates would wager with 526 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:20,840 each other. Pirates. 527 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,200 Would be wagering left, right and center. 528 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,840 Yeah, they got the bravado to be like, this is going to do 529 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:30,280 exactly what I think we'll do. Yeah, and if you think about 530 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,520 outsiders giving us like the dagger re equipping and the 531 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:40,680 dagger support to haunted heavy hitters to this, it's not 532 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,680 exactly. It's not exactly, but I think 533 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,400 it's I like. Where I like where you're going. 534 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,720 The word you're saying make me happy, yeah. 535 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,560 And it also makes sense that like we would see some gold 536 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,880 design in the near future because it was a few months ago 537 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,000 that we saw the banning of cash in. 538 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,840 During the book banning, they banned a bunch of cards that 539 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,160 made a lot of sense, a bunch of cards that people were like, 540 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,040 yeah, we can see how those are really strong. 541 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,320 Cash in was not necessarily one of those, but they said that if 542 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,360 they ever want to return to gold in the future, that cash in 543 00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:10,840 would make it a little bit difficult to have those designs 544 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,600 because it creates that offensive overlap. 545 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,000 And you have to wonder, like, was it something that they 546 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,600 already had in their radar when they banned cash in? 547 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,960 I think so. I think they were doing a really 548 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,960 good job with like Crown of Seeds being banned, Berserk 549 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,120 being banned, Home of the Firebrand. 550 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,280 That was one of the Firebrand as well, yeah. 551 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,880 Like now that we've seen haunted, everyone's like, yes, 552 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:31,600 please. They. 553 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,600 Christ, you got rid of that card. 554 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,040 Yeah, that card would have been insane in this set. 555 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,400 Yeah, but like they left a home of Imperial Flame, which was 556 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,520 explicitly and historically the stronger card at that moment. 557 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,040 In a similar vein, I feel like cash in if we're getting more 558 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,840 gold support everyone would be like oh thank God everyone has 559 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,840 gold now and this would be ridiculous to play it. 560 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,320 Yeah, but she's going to be like every turn you get a gold or. 561 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,800 Something miss Cash in. I love that card so much, you 562 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,120 know? It was a great card and in fact, 563 00:28:04,360 --> 00:28:06,520 this would be running the fuck out of it, right? 564 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,840 Yeah. The other mechanic I think we 565 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,520 could see a return to, and we touched on this a little bit in 566 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,640 red pitch, is allies and anti allies. 567 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,360 So admittedly, this is predicated on one we're getting 568 00:28:19,360 --> 00:28:23,920 the Necromancer, whether that's in talent OR class, and it is 569 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,280 showing up in a way that has allies. 570 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,120 I also think we could see pirates express themselves 571 00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:31,240 mechanically in a way where they have allies, you know? 572 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,960 Yeah, like crew mates, yeah. Yeah, I feel like they've 573 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,880 already done that mechanical space with Kasai in the Centauri 574 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,760 Sell swords. I think that's why it makes it 575 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,000 so likely to me. It's so, so doable. 576 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,800 We've seen them do it before, why not do it again? 577 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,880 I also don't think they really like mastered anything by doing 578 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,880 it with Kasai. I think there's a lot of room 579 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:52,000 left to be explored and I also think like tying it to a size 580 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,160 hero ability and then wanting like warrior to be good at this 581 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,680 long game. But maybe we see alleys in a bit 582 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,240 more like the candle burns twice as fast but last half as long. 583 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,160 It's like alleys maybe die when they swing or whatever. 584 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,680 Or like, if you can't generate enough gold, you, you have a 585 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,480 mutiny on your hands, you know? No, that's certainly very 586 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:10,320 interesting. Yeah. 587 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,000 I mean, I know that you dealt with a similar mechanic, Joel, 588 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,520 in our Pirates episode where you had, like, you had to sacrifice 589 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,960 a gold token to keep yourself in a specific state. 590 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,520 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I, I think mine was like, 591 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,960 well, mostly what I just said is like for every ally you need to 592 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,760 sacrifice something or pay them essentially, otherwise you lose 593 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,400 all of them. So maybe we could see something 594 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,360 like that if if, if you want to see it in a balanced way, but be 595 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,920 like maybe more aggressive than the way we've seen it in 596 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,840 Warrior. And certainly different than in 597 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:38,640 warrior. Right? 598 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,600 Like they cannot print the same idea of Raisin army which is 599 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,720 sacrifice gold, get allies. It would need to be something 600 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,640 more unique than that for sure. I think I also just reiterating 601 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,160 what I've already said in red pitch. 602 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,440 We need anti ally tools and if their stated goal in 2025 is 603 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,240 print the ability for people to deal with different board 604 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,400 states. Allies is one of those board 605 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,360 states. They've already given us 606 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,640 anaphylactic shock. Yeah, that's a really good one. 607 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:09,440 In the Haunted, which is the instant trap that if I have 608 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,800 already taken damage when I play it, I deal one to the opposing 609 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,480 hero and all allies on their board right? 610 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,440 It's a way of helping clear out all those little One Health 611 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,480 allies. Each one that has dealt damage 612 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:23,960 to you. Each one that has dealt damage. 613 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,760 So it's it's asking me to take a bunch of damage and then go play 614 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,720 it. I think that's also just like 615 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,800 another little mechanical wink to what might be coming in the 616 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:33,720 future. Yeah. 617 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,760 The next two mechanics that I want to touch on are mechanics 618 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,760 that are admittedly kind of predicated on what classes I 619 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,280 think we're going to see, right? So this is hopefully going to 620 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,960 help lead us into our blue pitch talking about these returning 621 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:54,120 classes mostly using context clues. 622 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:58,280 Man, Ranger and Mech really fucking need some cards. 623 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,280 Yeah, they I think Mech has lost more cards than they've gained 624 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:02,760 this year so far. Yeah, that's true. 625 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,880 Losing high octane really really sucked for them. 626 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:11,200 With the idea of like Rangers and Mechs in our heads, I think 627 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,960 the last time we saw those classes was in Arcane Rising. 628 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,040 And in Arcane Rising there was this consistent theme across the 629 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,320 classes of top deck manipulation. 630 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:28,320 It's very possible we could return to another set with a lot 631 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,800 of top deck manipulation. Oh. 632 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,920 This reminds me of something that Talon, our executive 633 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,520 producer and my best friend, he said like this offhandedly while 634 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,480 we were just. I know he brings it up every 635 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,080 time. Every time he's. 636 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,000 Like Talon, my best friend, and my we got it. 637 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,720 This is doing Bully Fuzzy too much on this podcast. 638 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,160 I was thinking we don't bully him enough. 639 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,800 But we were just in the car and we were talking about the Hunt 640 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,840 and Limited and Talents just kind of exhausted from it after 641 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,920 like doing badly at a couple of draft events. 642 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,960 He was like, I just want the next set to have like no quirky 643 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,400 fun mechanics. I don't need no mark stuff. 644 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,240 I don't want throwing daggers. Give me something simple like 645 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,800 opt mark, just like a little bit of like top deck manipulation 646 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,520 and that's all I want. It's got a fucking cheater. 647 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,680 He wants the bottom, his arsenal and look at the top. 648 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,400 Crazy. So I think it's funny that you 649 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,600 say that because Tyler was just saying that he could, he was 650 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,040 craving some like opting in a ocean blood set, kind of like in 651 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:28,200 our crane rising. And in our Discord, our fans 652 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,120 definitely came up with some ideas about what might be coming 653 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,120 up in the new set. So I want to definitely throw a 654 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:39,320 shout out to Equinox, Drakevan, and I want to say Prime Frog. 655 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,680 It was the three of them, the frog who were chatting in there. 656 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,120 But they were all sort of saying, as they were sort of 657 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,960 talking about what classes might be showing up, they came up with 658 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,760 like, you know, we could end up with three classes who need 659 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,520 support right now who all kind of care about manipulating the 660 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,880 top of their deck. Mechanologist with boosting 661 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,320 Ranger with, you know, the Azalea flipping a dominated card 662 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,880 off the top and brute the possibility of like fruit. 663 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,480 Oh yeah, well, we'll get into that in blue pitch. 664 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,400 But this idea of like manipulating the top of the deck 665 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,280 and interacting with the top of the deck in interesting ways, I 666 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,680 think is actually a really, really cool idea. 667 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,080 And it would kind of make up for the not really printing a lot of 668 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,760 contract support for Iraqi Huntsman in the Hunted, right? 669 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,280 It's like, don't don't worry, your support is coming. 670 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,200 And the fact that we are giving you opponents who really care 671 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,360 about what's on top of their deck that you can then mess up. 672 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,360 That's actually really interesting. 673 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:39,760 I kind of see it, yeah. Wow. 674 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,760 I think it also makes sense aesthetically. 675 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,880 You're on the high seas, even if you wouldn't call yourself a 676 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,960 pirate. You have to be navigating, 677 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,760 exploring, you have your sea charts, you have to be able to 678 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,720 look ahead at what's happening and opting is. 679 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,560 It can be a great way to express that mechanically. 680 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:02,880 And even looking at magic and the magic explorer mechanic, it 681 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:04,680 was all about revealing the top of your deck. 682 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,960 If it was a land it went straight into the field and if 683 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,679 it was a non land card it would put a + 1 + 1 counter on the 684 00:34:09,679 --> 00:34:11,280 creature. I wasn't gonna bring up Magic, 685 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:16,360 but now that you did, I wanna say there's a Magic card called 686 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,520 OPT and it's got a pirate with a spyglass. 687 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,280 Yeah. Like it's looking at the top of 688 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,639 your deck is very, very commonly associated with like pirates and 689 00:34:27,639 --> 00:34:30,080 exploring in the high seas in these TCGS. 690 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,960 So it's very likely, I think, that we'll see a return to that 691 00:34:33,199 --> 00:34:36,520 and it provides some support for these potential other classes. 692 00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:41,120 The other mechanic I think we could see returning is the 693 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:46,440 return of reload. Oh, OK. 694 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:53,040 Yeah. So I think reloading is a really 695 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,440 interesting mechanic that Rangers have had access to that 696 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,040 we've never really seen show up again. 697 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,800 And I feel like it's a unique design space that LSS would want 698 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,960 to return to again. Yeah, lovely idea of like a 699 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,000 crossbow pirate. Yeah, and a crossbow pirate. 700 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,800 I feel like the reloading is a big part of it because it's 701 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,680 dramatic to reload a crossbow. You got to be like. 702 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,160 It's a whole process. Or even like reloading the 703 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:23,960 cannons. Like think about every single 704 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,400 naval battle that we've ever seen in film or television. 705 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,160 There's like a big dramatic scene of someone like reloading 706 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,200 a Canyon to shoot at the other ship. 707 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,920 Canyon. Did I say Canyon? 708 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,200 Yeah, just say it again is a fun phrase. 709 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,160 No, just bully me about it. Reload a Canyon to shoot the 710 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,120 ship. Shoot the other ship, Yeah. 711 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,240 Shoot the ship. So I think reload could 712 00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:53,880 definitely make a return here, though that is again completely 713 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,000 predicated on us getting Ranger. Yeah, I don't think any other 714 00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,720 class would really care about reloading the Arsenal, yeah. 715 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,960 But it would make like premeditate really good if they 716 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,400 did print the generic card with reload on. 717 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:10,840 It is that generic premeditate. Yes, oh premeditate generic, but 718 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,760 it's only ever been played in Ranger because it only gives the 719 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,960 pump to the next attack from Arsenal. 720 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,280 Oh wow. What if like pirates had like a 721 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,240 skullduggery of component where like if you played cards from 722 00:36:23,240 --> 00:36:25,400 Arsenal they get an extra benefit or something? 723 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:27,560 Skullduggery. Yeah. 724 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,760 Why did you choose that word? Well, because skullduggery is 725 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:36,880 like associated with pirates. I've never heard that word. 726 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,880 Before skullduggery, it's like, it's so listeners, you have to 727 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,720 understand. Joel looked at us with 728 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:48,080 absolutely blank eyes before immediately going to his phone 729 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:49,160 to look up this word. It's like. 730 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,880 A cross between a combat maneuver and a prank. 731 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,680 It's an. It's like fighting dirty. 732 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,520 It is a noun that means dishonest or underhanded 733 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,280 behavior, or a trick or device to achieve a goal. 734 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:03,480 Yeah, yeah, OK. Yeah. 735 00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:07,840 So like if they like step on a floorboard and the floorboard 736 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,880 pops up and hits them in the balls or something like that 737 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,600 would be a that would be school degrade. 738 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:13,080 OK. All right. 739 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,120 So like, you got me, you like fire a shot out from Arsenal, 740 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,480 whatever. See that flesh and blood art by 741 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:19,840 the way? Like the pirate. 742 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,640 Like stomping on the board on the ship? 743 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,440 Because a pirate would do that. A pirate ship would have like 744 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,920 the one fucked up board that everybody knows, that everybody 745 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,560 knows about. But the moment that they get 746 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:34,200 boarded by these other assholes, they're like, ha ha, and they 747 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:35,280 get their nuts. Absolutely. 748 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:36,800 And. That's why we never repair that 749 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,240 border. Also, it's really funny to see 750 00:37:40,240 --> 00:37:43,720 the new guy on the ship like fall through. 751 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:49,280 I I also think that like what is the concept? 752 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:53,480 Because we've talked a little bit about like arcane returning 753 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,080 with like maybe necromancer having these arcane elements to 754 00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,040 it or like this essence of storm. 755 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:04,400 So like, is this a reaction set? Is this a go tall set? 756 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,880 Like what, what do we think the set's going to look like in 757 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,520 terms of numbers? Because I, I found that they've 758 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,280 kind of alternated between big numbers and small numbers, big 759 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:15,800 numbers and small numbers, right. 760 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,520 Heavy hitters was big numbers. It was 3 for sevens and three 761 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,320 for sixes. And then we went to Miss Veil, 762 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:25,040 which like Wounding Blow was like, whoa, wait, this card's 763 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,880 really good in all the classes. This nice zero for 4:00. 764 00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:31,720 And then in a similar vein, we went to Rosetta. 765 00:38:31,720 --> 00:38:35,720 The three for Sevens dominated again and then we went to 766 00:38:35,720 --> 00:38:38,160 Haunted where once again lots of small numbers. 767 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,600 One, but unpreventable. Yeah. 768 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,280 And now I think we're going to return to big numbers. 769 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,200 Again, I mean, even away from that, I think looking at cut 770 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,520 through cut through the facade is a three for seven itself some 771 00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:56,080 that plus truce is also like A2 costed non attack action. 772 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,680 With no go again. So I think we're looking at big 773 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,640 numbies, Yeah. But if we're looking at big 774 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:04,800 numbies, is that really fall in line with like our idea of 775 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:10,280 Ranger, our idea of Mac Ranger has big numbies, Ranger, Ranger 776 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,160 pumps to big numbies. Yeah, yeah. 777 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,080 Or maybe this is time for the three casted arrow? 778 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,520 Yo, yeah, bigger casted arrows, maybe a crossbow. 779 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:21,960 We've seen it be a thing. Maybe that could be like the 780 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,720 crossbow Ranger. Yeah, they have poppers. 781 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:31,760 Monkey Ally. OK hell yeah in Parrot. 782 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,960 OK, Joel, Joel, OK. And when you have them together, 783 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:36,760 they team up. Whole they're best. 784 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,440 Friends. And they're they, they fuse into 785 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,960 one Demi hero. I'm really. 786 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,200 Losing. I'm really looking forward to 787 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,840 Joel predicting a Captain Hat Legendary equipment. 788 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,280 If you equip this, become a pirate, yeah. 789 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,320 And parks like we're gonna have a legendary pig leg. 790 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:02,800 OK, but like, actually not legendary, not legendary, not 791 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,960 legendary, but actually, like, what they've been doing with, 792 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,120 like, the common sets of equipment is like creating a 793 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,000 character and then showing like, the four pieces of their outfit. 794 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:16,080 Yeah, I totally think it could be like the hook hand, the peg 795 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,400 leg, the captain's coat and then like the captain's hat. 796 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,760 Eye patch. Eye patch, Eye patch in the head 797 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:23,640 slot. That's really good. 798 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,400 Fuzzy. Yeah, that's probably like a 799 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,160 common. Those would be like the generic, 800 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:28,880 the generic common equipment. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 801 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,960 Like you draft this card and suddenly you lose your eye. 802 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,160 Yeah, that's great. -1 Intelligence plus five health. 803 00:40:35,240 --> 00:40:39,160 Last thing, do we think there's going to be a macro in the set? 804 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,600 Oh man. Because they said in Rosetta 805 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,920 that they loved macros and where they're going to be returning to 806 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,200 macros. Is this the set where we get the 807 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,920 macro again? This is the monkey ally macro. 808 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,720 Sure, everybody gets a monkey. Here's your government issue, 809 00:40:53,720 --> 00:40:57,880 Mugby. Here's your government issued 810 00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,120 mischievous pal. He does skullduggery. 811 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:09,640 Yeah, I'll name mine Fred. But macros, the only macro we've 812 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,040 seen so far was just a way of like shoring up arcane damage 813 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,720 and arcane prevention in the set. 814 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:21,600 So I wonder what else they need to use a macro for or what else 815 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,520 they want to use a macro for. I think honestly, creating a 816 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,120 limited environment that just plays around like a format like 817 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,600 Joel. Again, thinking back to your 818 00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:36,480 pirate, to our pirate episode where your design had like, 819 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:41,120 swapping flags and like swapping game states, sort of like field 820 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:42,600 spell. Field spells, yeah. 821 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,720 Like maybe? The macros like a field spell 822 00:41:44,720 --> 00:41:46,440 that like both sides can interact. 823 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,360 With, that'd be kind of cool, Like, yeah. 824 00:41:49,720 --> 00:41:53,240 That'd be so avant-garde. What was the name of the Rosetta 825 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,360 macro that? Was sanctuary of Aria. 826 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,200 Could it be like the ports of Wraith? 827 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,240 It could be like the. Port and you like trade gold for 828 00:42:03,240 --> 00:42:05,080 things? Yeah, maybe that's it. 829 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,400 Wow. Yeah, it could be really, really 830 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,440 interesting to see a new macro. There's so much flavor they have 831 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,520 to work with. It's it's really fun to think 832 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:19,560 about, but flavor for. Who you know, for Joel, Yeah. 833 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:24,320 For Joel and for Clark. And perhaps for Fuzzy. 834 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:25,520 Perhaps. Yeah. 835 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,000 I can get behind some pirate flavour. 836 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:33,960 Fuzzy, who do you want to see Don the old black and red and 837 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,480 take to the high seas in our blue pitch? 838 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,080 All right, so for Blue Pitch, my Commission is to be talking 839 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,360 about returning classes and talents. 840 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,920 We've already kind of touched about this a lot because we're 841 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,480 really hyped to see potentially some Rangers come back, some 842 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,400 mechanologists. Maybe. 843 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,880 One thing that we haven't talked a lot about yet is Brute. 844 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,760 I've seen a lot of people online talking about brutes potentially 845 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,080 showing up. I think part of the reason 846 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,280 people are hungry for brutes is because we haven't seen them 847 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,480 since heavy hitters. And even in heavy hitters, they 848 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,600 were kind of needed, right? Yeah, in heavy hitters, they 849 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:10,200 received less new cards than the other two classes. 850 00:43:11,240 --> 00:43:12,760 So let's get some new brute cards in here. 851 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,080 We've also seen a lobster character show up on the art for 852 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,360 a nip at the heels. And I've seen a lot of people 853 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,440 like excited that the idea of like lobster brutes showing up. 854 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,520 And now Clark is a nice heir. Clark doesn't think we're going 855 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,960 to have lobster brutes, but I actually think it makes total 856 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:32,320 sense to me because the brutes that we've seen in the game are 857 00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,320 either, like there's other species, they're almost. 858 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,680 From the Savage Land. Yeah, they're non human. 859 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,200 Or they're Leviah and I think Leviah is supposed to be 860 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,680 flavored as part demon as in again, another non human. 861 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,560 Yes, but I think it more has to do with Levi as a brute because 862 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:53,560 she is summoning and running an army of shadow brutes. 863 00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:57,680 Like all of If you look at all of her Shadow Brute cards, they 864 00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,240 aren't just demons, they're specifically brutes who have 865 00:44:01,240 --> 00:44:03,000 been corrupted by the demon Aster. 866 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,400 Oh. Like endless maw Deadwood 867 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,880 rumbler. OK, and who's to say they didn't 868 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,200 recruit a crab? Who's to say they can't be 869 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,240 crabs? You're not wrong. 870 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,600 So some lobster people being like the non human 871 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,080 representation and they stick the brute label on that. 872 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:23,360 I could see it working out pretty well. 873 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,680 You know, they just. Better fucking give us a savage 874 00:44:25,720 --> 00:44:28,760 Lancet where they actually give brutes a real name. 875 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,560 I know and like identity. And I know I'm talking really 876 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,360 nebulously here, but like, sure sure sure. 877 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,560 If you have claws for hands and then you have to discard to make 878 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,120 your cards work, why does that make so much sense to me? 879 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,040 You got choppers and you got to discard your hand like. 880 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,480 Is this a rock set? Is it time for rock? 881 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,080 Or you have no cards in hand and you're like incentivized to 882 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:55,040 discard and use your claws, your meaty claws, to throw a rock. 883 00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:58,240 And like the ocean, like is you like extra resources where you 884 00:44:58,240 --> 00:45:00,440 get like the nutrients from the bottom of the sea. 885 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:01,480 So true. Best. 886 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,720 I'm totally losing Clark here, but I swear it makes sense in my 887 00:45:04,720 --> 00:45:05,240 mind. Fuzzy. 888 00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:11,800 What the fuck are you talking? It just seems so doable in my 889 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,480 mind, like it makes a lot of sense. 890 00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,120 Claws are discarding. Yeah. 891 00:45:17,240 --> 00:45:19,280 Well, you can't hold. Cards with a claws actually. 892 00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,040 Audience, Audience. And the sheer strength, because 893 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,440 it's claws. Tell me if you associate 894 00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,680 discarding. With claws. 895 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,760 Claws are sheer strength without dexterity, right? 896 00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,040 And literally throwing cards out of your hand in order to pump 897 00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:38,800 your effects seems like the like brutish, unelegant energy that 898 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,280 could be expressed mechanically as claws. 899 00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:43,640 It makes sense to me. Sure. 900 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,080 Can you at least have one crab arm and the other one's like a 901 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:48,480 regular arm? Would that make you happy, 902 00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,240 Clerk? No. 903 00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:57,760 OK, no class. So I've also heard Merchant 904 00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:59,560 class being brought up again. We've already talked about it a 905 00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,720 little bit, but Merchant is the class that has technically 906 00:46:02,720 --> 00:46:07,240 existed in the game for ages. A long time since Crucible, 907 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,720 right? Crucible of War, the first the 908 00:46:09,720 --> 00:46:11,200 first supplementary set in the game. 909 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,280 It might be time for them finally to be realized as an 910 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,960 actual class. It would also be like slightly 911 00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,640 easier to make a new class as Merchant than a new class as 912 00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:26,800 Pirate, because Merchant has again a nominal amount of 913 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:31,480 support in the game already. Yeah, they have like some 30 odd 914 00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,600 cards I want to say. No, they have like 3. 915 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,000 They have two heroes and golden silver paws hold. 916 00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:37,760 On hold on. Hold on, hold on. 917 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,320 You're thinking of Bard. Wow you're right. 918 00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:45,520 Merchant doesn't even show up on February in their like car 919 00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,440 distribution graph. I did forget about Squizzy and 920 00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:49,960 Floof. So 3 heroes. 921 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,400 Yeah, Squizzy and Floof is a merchant. 922 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,480 Yeah. Oh my God, goofy ass. 923 00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,240 For real. It could be that they're saving 924 00:46:59,240 --> 00:47:01,360 merchant for these special use promos, right? 925 00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,080 Because they've handed out enough of these like fabric 926 00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:08,680 promos that are for merchants that like it would be a little 927 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,760 bit funky now if they have CC legal merchants, because then 928 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,720 people could get confused which merchant cards are legal for CC 929 00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:16,920 and which merchant cards aren't. I could see that being a little 930 00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:20,240 bit of like a little hurdle that they don't want in the game. 931 00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:24,720 Similarly like Bard, though no one else really online is 932 00:47:24,720 --> 00:47:26,680 talking about. I think Bard could be one of the 933 00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,560 possible classes that like is getting the CC version. 934 00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,880 Sure, because like if you look at Melody and then if you look 935 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:36,960 at the main character in Shelter from the Storm, like they kind 936 00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:42,880 of got similar vibes going on, but I just don't think that LSS 937 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:46,200 wants to print CC versions of those heroes. 938 00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,160 One item that I don't think has been brought up yet that I would 939 00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,240 be really excited to see is flintlock pistols. 940 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,960 Yes. Because traditionally those 941 00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:00,360 bitches are hard to reload and they're usually only one fire 942 00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:01,560 use. And then you have to like, 943 00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,600 discard it or like, reload it later because you have to like, 944 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,680 you know, put like the gunpowder in there and like, stuff it 945 00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,160 down. Very mechanologist flavored, 946 00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:12,320 very mechanologist flavored. And you'd obviously have to have 947 00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,120 like multiple of them because they're like one shot. 948 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:18,800 So maybe there's like another equipping mechanic that we saw 949 00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,160 from Haunted Enter, which we call it. 950 00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,160 Yeah. High seas, yeah. 951 00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,400 God, I love that. Also shout out to In Red Pitch 952 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,640 when I mentioned Truce, who was on the other side of that little 953 00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,200 agreement. It was metrics. 954 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:37,320 Metrics with the mechanologists. Maybe they sold their gunpowder 955 00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,920 for lightning. Maybe they have the technology 956 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,720 that they can use to make really advanced chips. 957 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:49,400 Yeah, I also want to shout out Brian Cotley being like, I don't 958 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,120 want to return to Boost and like one of the early dev talks 959 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:55,680 around bright lights, he was like, I do not want to design 960 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:59,040 around boost again. Like doing the all boost set of 961 00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,480 bright lights I think was a really, really big restriction 962 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,320 for them that I think made them print a lot of underpowered 963 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:08,320 cards that made everybody upset. Definitely zero to 50, my 964 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,880 fucking nemesis. So like. 965 00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:16,920 Seeing this is so lame. It's an interesting idea. 966 00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:22,000 It was cool in like 2020 moving. On Yeah, like. 967 00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:25,480 It was so cool in 2020. They also probably exhausted 968 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,600 like a lot of their ideas of what they could even. 969 00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,880 Do with boost for sure for sure. So like, I would love to see 970 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:36,880 this brand new way of tackling mechanologists without having to 971 00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:40,560 rely on what is probably their most central mechanic. 972 00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,640 And I think by going into items, it'd be really interesting 973 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,320 because if there's gold support, like I said in yellow pitch, 974 00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:51,760 gold's an item. Mechanologists do stuff with 975 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,880 items. So like they could very easily 976 00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:59,800 like work a gold support mechanologist into the class. 977 00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:02,520 Bad ass. Yeah, and with these flintlock 978 00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,760 pistols, maybe you like sacrifice a gold to make a new 979 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,440 pistol token, which you could they attack. 980 00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,680 Me, I might actually play Mac, if that's a thing, yeah. 981 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,160 I think another class that we are, I'm going to say it 982 00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:20,000 traditionally haters on on this podcast that's illusionist 983 00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,760 we've. Yes, I would say that is fair 984 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:24,240 and valid. We kind of devoted a whole 985 00:50:24,240 --> 00:50:26,080 episode to saying what we don't like about this. 986 00:50:26,240 --> 00:50:28,960 One time. Haven't really done that for any 987 00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:29,760 other class. Yeah. 988 00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:33,520 But you know what I would really dig is like a siren. 989 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,280 Yeah. Yo. 990 00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:40,000 So like a female coded monster that like sings and like lures 991 00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:41,880 the pirates over. And that's like an illusion, 992 00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:43,560 right? Like an illusion that infects 993 00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,840 your brain waves. I mean, we've seen a lot of 994 00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:51,480 magic adjacent stuff with these ships in the high seas, right? 995 00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,080 Like the demonastery is out on the ocean. 996 00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,960 Like the seas have very much been associated with like a raw 997 00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:01,720 primal magic illusionist. Tapping into that makes a lot of 998 00:51:01,720 --> 00:51:05,040 sense. Alternatively, think about when 999 00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:08,000 you're on a pirate ship, right? There's like flintlock pistols 1000 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:09,040 going off. Oh yeah, the last. 1001 00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,160 Time I was on a pirate ship. There's flintlock pistols 1002 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:12,080 everywhere. Exactly. 1003 00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:15,520 And like cannonball fire and all this like smoke coming around, 1004 00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,360 so disorienting. That was a wild party that Horn 1005 00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:21,600 Foggle invited. Us to and and it got me thinking 1006 00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,240 about this next set. What if illusionists uses like 1007 00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:28,320 smoke as an illusion like the like the gunpowder like like 1008 00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,720 some type of like gar looking character you know? 1009 00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:33,040 It's one of my favorite aesthetics is. 1010 00:51:33,240 --> 00:51:35,920 People who just like control mist and smoke. 1011 00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:39,720 Yeah, it's so fucking cool. That would be a pretty cool 1012 00:51:39,720 --> 00:51:42,440 illusionist. It might not be waifu, so it 1013 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,600 might not sell well, but I think that'd be a pretty cool take on 1014 00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:47,760 illusionist give. Me, a male illusionist, Yeah. 1015 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:48,680 Male illusionist? Yeah. 1016 00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,600 Where's my? Twink illusionist dude, come on 1017 00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,040 I. Think he doesn't have to be a 1018 00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:53,120 twink? He could be fat. 1019 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,040 Could be beefy, could be an Otter, could be a bear, 1020 00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:57,000 whatever. I think if there was like a 1021 00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,400 twink illusionist it would get my boyfriend playing the game 1022 00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:04,520 again. He just wants a little cute 1023 00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:05,960 illusionist boy. Don't we all? 1024 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,400 Switching to talent, something we might see again, I want to 1025 00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:15,000 give a shout out to Lightning. I think we could totally see 1026 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,560 like lightning flavored talents and mechanically I think 1027 00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:20,720 instance could be a way that we could get that like 1028 00:52:20,720 --> 00:52:23,240 swashbuckling skulduggery energy going. 1029 00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:27,640 That was really like what you were focusing on in your pirate 1030 00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:29,480 section. Clark was like these instance 1031 00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,240 to, you know, get a lot of value from your cards. 1032 00:52:32,240 --> 00:52:37,000 Yeah, instance are tricky, but they're really attack action 1033 00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,640 focused because you still need to be able to deal damage and 1034 00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:41,360 like your instance aren't dealing damage. 1035 00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,280 They did already do that design space and lightning, and the 1036 00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,160 reason why I feel more apprehensive about lightning is 1037 00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,320 because they. Just did lightning. 1038 00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:52,600 They did just do it, Yeah. And Rosetta. 1039 00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,760 But we also said the same thing about Assassin, right? 1040 00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,800 Like there's no way they're going to do Assassin again in 1041 00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,480 The Haunted. We just got it in part the Miss 1042 00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:07,400 Veil ninja and Assassin. I mean with up when they did 1043 00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:11,280 Uprising, they did the second ice talented hero like only two 1044 00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:15,040 sets after the first. Yeah and even in between there 1045 00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:19,640 there was another ice talented hero in between where they did 1046 00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,520 Tales of Arya where they introduced 3 talents, then 1047 00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:25,440 Starvo in Dynasty and then they went back to Iceland. 1048 00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:26,760 They technically did Icelander in. 1049 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:31,160 Jesus, that's true. But then like Icelander got like 1050 00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,200 fully realized in uprising they. Really. 1051 00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,520 They don't think, huh. They wanted ice in the format, 1052 00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:37,840 Yeah. Ice, ice baby. 1053 00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:42,320 I don't want to see ice return though, right? 1054 00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:43,880 Like that's in the next point. Sorry. 1055 00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,480 Yeah, that was a weird segue, but I also think ice could 1056 00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:49,800 return in high seas. Not just lightning, but ice as 1057 00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,480 well. I mean, I know we need ice to 1058 00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,320 return right? Because we need the Lexi replace 1059 00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:56,320 I. Don't know that, that's a given. 1060 00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,880 We have one ice hero. He has a place in the format 1061 00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:04,720 because we just saw the most ice disrespectful deck AKA red line 1062 00:54:04,720 --> 00:54:08,680 Syndra like win a whole event. She is a pretty strong deck. 1063 00:54:08,720 --> 00:54:11,560 It just runs all Reds and go figure you can do a bunch of 1064 00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:14,600 damage but then like it gets shut down by ice. 1065 00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:17,200 Which is why Yarl's also seeing another resurgence. 1066 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,360 Do we want more ice heroes to come back into the game? 1067 00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,320 I would take like one more ice hero. 1068 00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:27,280 I wouldn't mind the the ice replacement for Lexi, right? 1069 00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,000 Whether they decide to go the briar route where they are like 1070 00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,440 splitting them into two sides or they're going for more of how 1071 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,040 they did Yaro with like the full directory print, right? 1072 00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:40,160 All right, Clay, I have AI have a unfair question for you. 1073 00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,440 Sure. If you only had to bring back 1074 00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:47,280 one Ranger character in the pirate set, would it be Lexi or 1075 00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,800 Riptide? Oh fuck. 1076 00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:56,520 If I say Lexi, I think talent will cut funding. 1077 00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,800 I think he will. I think next time I'm in his car 1078 00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:05,960 he's going to crash. Not so I'm going. 1079 00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,320 To say Riptide, Yeah. Not to mention the other Riptide 1080 00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:10,600 diehards in our chat, which just docks the hell out of you. 1081 00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:13,560 OK, blink once for Lexi, blink twice for Riptide. 1082 00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,360 I'm telling talent. I'm blinked twice. 1083 00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:18,840 I'm blinked. Twice he blinked. 1084 00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:23,160 Once Audience, you can't prove me otherwise. 1085 00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:28,600 No, I'm so happy that you mentioned actual returning 1086 00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:33,560 heroes because I think Riptide is the most likely to return. 1087 00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:38,760 I think he fits the high seas concepts so exceptionally well. 1088 00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:42,320 Yeah, like an undead. Like not even really undead but 1089 00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,680 like a spooky gross pirate army. Yeah. 1090 00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,040 Also, just like what I was saying with reload, like if 1091 00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:52,840 reload is a mechanic or if they like don't do reload, Riptide 1092 00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:57,160 has reload printed on his character. 1093 00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,040 Like it's on the hero card to reload. 1094 00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,440 True. So like reloading could be a 1095 00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,120 very big deal. Like maybe we could see 2 Ranger 1096 00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:05,320 heroes. It's been a while since we've 1097 00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:08,120 gotten that right? Where like 2 heroes technically 1098 00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:12,760 exist, occupy the same space in the shape of the limited format, 1099 00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:13,400 right? Tied. 1100 00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:17,960 And Lexi or Riptide in a brand new Ranger even, right? 1101 00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:22,760 So like the brand new Ranger has a crossbow where you pay to 1102 00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:27,680 reload, but Riptide plays a little bit different because he 1103 00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,080 naturally reloads. So they both play into the 1104 00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:34,520 reload synergy, but one through their weapon and the other 1105 00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:38,600 through their hero ability. It could be badass. 1106 00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:40,880 Yeah, I'm a fan. Sounds pretty badass, I think. 1107 00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:43,440 I think crossbows just need to make their grand entrance 1108 00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,720 already. Yeah, TB dubs. 1109 00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:50,200 I think we've gushed about the set for enough for one episode. 1110 00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:52,320 I hope you guys all enjoy hyping up with us. 1111 00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:54,600 Do you guys want to move on to our Arsenal zone? 1112 00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:56,600 Sure. Listen, there's the Arsenal Zone 1113 00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,040 is a part of our podcast where we talk about a card we love, 1114 00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:02,280 the card we hate, a card we love to hate, card we hate to love, 1115 00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:08,400 or a card that's just yeah. We're going to start off our 1116 00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:13,120 Arsenal Zone by giving a shout out to one of our Patreon 1117 00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:18,440 subscribers. So at the $5 or $10 tier of our 1118 00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:22,680 Patreon, you have the ability to suggest a card for us to shout 1119 00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:26,160 out at the end of the podcast in our Arsenal Zone. 1120 00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,040 I'm so excited that we get to start doing this. 1121 00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:31,640 Yeah, it's going to be so cool to like, not just have to talk 1122 00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:33,800 about the cards that we care about, but the cards that other 1123 00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:35,600 people care about, too. Oh yeah. 1124 00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:40,680 Oh, it says here on my dice. Ozzy Pepper. 1125 00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,200 Let's go, Ozzy Pepper. Thank you, by the way, for 1126 00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:45,520 subscribing to our Patreon. Very kind of you. 1127 00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:53,160 So Ozzy Pepper has selected Provoke as their card. 1128 00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:58,840 Fantastic choice, yes. So Provoke is a card from the 1129 00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:03,880 most recent set, The Haunted. It is a blue one cost 3 block 1130 00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:08,840 Warrior attack reaction that says if you're attacking with a 1131 00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:12,080 weapon, this chain link, the defending hero reveals a card 1132 00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:15,320 from their hand. If it's an action card, add it 1133 00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:19,080 to this chain link as a defending card, otherwise they 1134 00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:22,520 discard it. This is the first real piece of 1135 00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:26,080 Warrior disruption that they've ever gotten, and this is very 1136 00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:30,080 similar to another very powerful disruption card that we all love 1137 00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:33,680 to hate. Sirens call I think objectively 1138 00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:37,680 better and more wide range then Siren's call. 1139 00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,320 And Peter also had this quip to add. 1140 00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,400 He said it's a way for warriors to force their opponents to 1141 00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,680 block and turn on all of our other cool attack reactions. 1142 00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:51,080 And I agree, it seems like they kind of wanted to add a little 1143 00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:55,160 bit more to the reprise cards that we're like forced to use 1144 00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:57,040 like Glimp, the Quicksilver for example. 1145 00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:01,360 And I think overall, just like the implications of this card 1146 00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:05,200 and what will what it will activate for the rest of Warrior 1147 00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:09,600 cards to come is so exciting. I like how this card really 1148 00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:13,200 outlines to me how I'm playing a different game of flesh and 1149 00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:14,800 blood than these warrior mains are. 1150 00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:18,480 Because I'm reading this card. I'm like you're paying one to 1151 00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:21,000 force them to block and that's it. 1152 00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:25,640 Like they don't even really unless they they decide to show 1153 00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:28,200 you an instant because they get to choose which card they're 1154 00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:30,880 blocking with. Sirens call seems way better 1155 00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:33,160 because you choose the card that they block. 1156 00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:36,120 You get the information no matter what and you draw a card 1157 00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,760 if it procs correctly. This card doesn't give you the 1158 00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:40,720 draw. It's completely up to them what 1159 00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:43,040 they show you and you still have to pay one for it. 1160 00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,200 I don't know. Yeah, unless if it's a non 1161 00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:48,960 attack action card, it still doesn't necessarily turn on like 1162 00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,080 everything that Warriors want to turn on. 1163 00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:53,880 Yeah, a lot of the Warrior designed in heavy hitters was 1164 00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:57,120 specifically blocking with an attack action card. 1165 00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:01,200 Yeah, I think there's a lot of context to consider when playing 1166 01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:04,760 this card because if they give you a non attack card, like for 1167 01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:07,920 instance in Room Blade, if you have a redundant non attack 1168 01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,240 action, that's like a lot of life you're saving with like 1169 01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:12,920 extra room chance. Or maybe it's like an arc 1170 01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:16,040 lightning or something. Also, if it's like their only 1171 01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:19,880 attack in in an Aurora's hand, that could also be really good. 1172 01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,880 Otherwise they're discarding these instances that would 1173 01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:25,000 enable like a gun and a flash turn or something. 1174 01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:28,440 I think just like #1 the information you're getting from 1175 01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:31,480 your opponent but also like them just losing a card no matter 1176 01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:35,120 what is super valuable. Especially when Warriors are 1177 01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:37,800 notorious for not being able to race any of these aggressive 1178 01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,120 decks. Yeah, so much of the warrior 1179 01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:43,640 play pattern that oh, the way of beating a warrior, I should say, 1180 01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:46,280 the way that people play and a warrior is either no blocks or 1181 01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:49,120 all blocks, right? I'm either giving you my entire 1182 01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:52,440 hand so that all of your reactions are just dead and you 1183 01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:56,520 IP yourself or I'm not giving you a shit, dude. 1184 01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:59,800 You show me that you have value that can beat what I have. 1185 01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:02,960 And this is a card that doesn't allow for that second strategy. 1186 01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:07,240 It forces you to enter into the mid range back and forth that 1187 01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:09,560 they want you to. Yeah, and a lot of decks cannot 1188 01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:11,360 compete with a Warrior in that same vein. 1189 01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:15,040 And it's also a blue block 3, so how good does the card have to 1190 01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:16,320 be in order to be? Working. 1191 01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:20,720 Yeah, yeah, it's a great blue. I mean, how, how often have you, 1192 01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,520 Joel on here lamented the state of warrior. 1193 01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:26,280 Blues. Yeah, we have like comically 1194 01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:29,440 terrible Blues in our card pool, so I think this might be the 1195 01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:32,160 first like really solid one since like glint the. 1196 01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:33,760 Quicksilver since like glint, yeah. 1197 01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:37,040 Great shout out. Yeah, great shout out. 1198 01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,200 Thank you so much, Peter, for submitting your options. 1199 01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:41,800 And feel free to do so if you're listening to this now and you 1200 01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:43,760 have our car that you really want us to shout out. 1201 01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:46,920 I think next, though, we should go over to Clark. 1202 01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:50,640 What do you got? So my card selection for today 1203 01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:53,760 is Glyph Overlay. Throughout this episode, we have 1204 01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:57,320 been talking about cards that sort of hinted at the high seas 1205 01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,680 or like had pirates or ocean stuff, leviathans in the 1206 01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:02,800 background. And Glyph Overlay is one of 1207 01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:06,760 those cards that I really love. 1 is that it doesn't really say 1208 01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:10,280 a lot about pirates when you really look at it, right? 1209 01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:13,800 They're just kind of like a ship out at sea and a big sigil out 1210 01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:16,240 there. But Glyph Overlay itself is an 1211 01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:21,840 extremely cool card, right? It's 1 underrate, but it has the 1212 01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:24,600 ability to be so much more. It's like you're asking for it 1213 01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:30,000 to be broken Wizard, the new wizard arm piece that amps 1:00 1214 01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:33,000 every single time a sigil has left the arena. 1215 01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:36,800 And then the ability for this to like get rid of a bunch of cards 1216 01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:41,040 from the arena. It's just, it's so cool. 1217 01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:45,200 And I want to see a deck that can finally break this card and 1218 01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:49,440 have it come in for like 10 and gaining a bunch of life and like 1219 01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:51,760 shuffling all these sigils back and then drawing a bunch of 1220 01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:53,600 cards. Like I want to see this as did 1221 01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:56,800 you say 10? Yeah, it can get up really, 1222 01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:58,320 really high. So good. 1223 01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:01,040 And then like following it up with something else because you 1224 01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:04,200 broke the arms piece. Like, I want to see this card 1225 01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:07,640 get broken. I also think it is quite 1226 01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:10,120 possibly the one thing that might be saying, hey, maybe 1227 01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:12,640 there's Wizards in this upcoming set. 1228 01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:16,160 Yeah, there's apparently an alternate art of this card too. 1229 01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:17,680 Really. I don't know if you've seen it. 1230 01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:22,200 I'll show you right now. I think I have seen that it's 1231 01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:23,880 very pretty. I'll describe it to you 1232 01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:26,240 listeners. It's this person who has a 1233 01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:28,400 staff. They are on their like tippy 1234 01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,760 toes and they're like floating on water and they're sort of 1235 01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,480 like making a glyph in the water with their staff. 1236 01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,960 Very wizard coded to me. Very wizard recently. 1237 01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:40,760 I also want to point out, and this was my little factoid that 1238 01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:44,600 I mentioned having and I was saving, Wizards have one of the 1239 01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:47,160 least amount of just straight class cards. 1240 01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:50,240 It is Rangers and Wizards. So if we're talking about which 1241 01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:55,280 classes need new cards, Wizards, and this could be the one thing 1242 01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:57,280 that's telling us, hey, Wizards are in this set. 1243 01:03:57,520 --> 01:03:58,720 That's it. That's my card. 1244 01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:02,320 Fantastic shout. Joel, do you want to go next? 1245 01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:05,840 Sure. So I want to talk about Trench 1246 01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:10,320 of Sunken Treasure, mostly to scold you because what the fuck 1247 01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:11,760 are you doing? Like literally. 1248 01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:18,000 OK so at the RTN high seas got revealed at like 2 our time and 1249 01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:22,400 then that evening Trench of second treasures skyrocketed to 1250 01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,240 like $150.00. Oh my God. 1251 01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:27,360 Which I don't think it's ever broke 50 in its lifetime. 1252 01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:30,520 So I'm like #1 doesn't say pirate on there, just has a 1253 01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:32,880 picture of a pirate and they haven't. 1254 01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:35,000 Confirmed. What classes will be in the 1255 01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:36,800 pipes? Like what are you speculating 1256 01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:38,600 for? Like this makes no sense. 1257 01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:41,760 Stop buying this card, Stop selling it for such absurd 1258 01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:44,920 prices. Be for real because #1 Flame 1259 01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:48,080 scale furnace spiked for the same reason no one's using that 1260 01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,040 Number two term of Imperial flames spiked for the same 1261 01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:53,360 reason no one's using that. Save your money. 1262 01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:55,080 Don't be stupid. That's my card. 1263 01:04:55,480 --> 01:05:00,200 Yeah, that really upset me. When I saw it, I was like, oh, 1264 01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:03,160 you're like, what are? You, it's ridiculous if it's at 1265 01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:06,120 150, dude, that is insane because I love that card. 1266 01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:08,760 That card is not that. Good, I know. 1267 01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:11,640 It's gonna be really hard to get the flame scale furnace felt 1268 01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:14,040 safe. Trench does not seem like that 1269 01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:15,000 safe of an investor. Sorry. 1270 01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:18,720 At the time of recording, the coal foil extended R is 185. 1271 01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:20,680 TC Mayo. And that's not even the most 1272 01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:23,840 expensive version of Trench. Yeah, there's also no foil. 1273 01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:27,160 Oh, I'm still seeing rainbow foil at like 40-45 dollars. 1274 01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:29,760 Sure. Good shout Joel. 1275 01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:31,240 Thanks. I had to get that out. 1276 01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:33,960 It's exactly the type of stuff we need to be like telling 1277 01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:36,720 people in our. Yeah, don't buy into the hype, 1278 01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:37,800 man. It's not worth it. 1279 01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:39,800 There's also a lot of controversy around flesh and 1280 01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:43,240 blood prices right now, and it's a great indicative example of 1281 01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:45,400 like, what I think people are getting upset. 1282 01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:48,560 Absolutely, Absolutely. Is my turn. 1283 01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:50,000 Yeah. Did you figure it out? 1284 01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:53,800 Yeah. Okay, so for my Arsenal zone 1285 01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:56,480 card today, I wanna take this opportunity to shout out my pet 1286 01:05:56,480 --> 01:06:00,160 project, the Crucible tournament that I'm running every chance I 1287 01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:00,760 get. I like. 1288 01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:02,560 Talking about first I've heard of it. 1289 01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:04,880 Join the Patreon. Participate. 1290 01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:08,000 This month's format is Uncommoner, and when this 1291 01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:11,000 episode released there might be like one more week of 1292 01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:13,480 uncommoner, so I feel like it's OK for me to talk about what I'm 1293 01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:15,080 doing without spoiling any of it. 1294 01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:19,280 I've decided that the thing that I'm most excited for in a format 1295 01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:23,840 where at launch it's all rares, majestics and legendaries with 1296 01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:26,880 like no ban list. I wanted to play Dusk Blade. 1297 01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:29,080 I've never been able to. So cringe. 1298 01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:31,600 I've never been able to play Dusk Blade before. 1299 01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:33,760 And when you think about like what makes a good Dusk Blade 1300 01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:37,040 deck, like it's in case you've never heard of this card before 1301 01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:39,360 because it literally never saw the light of day. 1302 01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:42,360 It was literally banned as the set was released because they 1303 01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:45,320 realized like I guess just a little bit too late. 1304 01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:47,560 Yeah. I also don't think I've ever 1305 01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:51,080 seen anybody open a dusk blade. I don't know if it's in the 1306 01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:55,600 unlimited packs, I don't know. So at base you pay 1 to swing 1307 01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:57,240 for two. It's a 2 handed sword. 1308 01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:00,880 But when you attack with it, if you played an attack action card 1309 01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:04,080 and a non attack action card you get to put a + 1 + 1 counter on 1310 01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:06,600 it like dawn blade. And at the end of your turn if 1311 01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:09,600 you haven't played an attack action and non attack action 1312 01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,280 card then you remove all the plus one counters like dawn 1313 01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:13,720 blade. It's like dawn blade, but it's 1314 01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:15,640 dusk blade and it's a room blade thing. 1315 01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:20,040 So like the natural way that you play this card is like nimbleism 1316 01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:22,280 scar for a scar swing the dust blade, right. 1317 01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:25,200 But those are both Commons. So if you think about like what 1318 01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:28,360 cards do you have access to in uncommoner, like you're not 1319 01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:31,480 allowed to play Commons. So I'm looking through my the 1320 01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:33,120 list and there's some like nice ones. 1321 01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:35,960 Plunder run sounds great. Swarming gloom Bale sounds 1322 01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:37,600 great. You know, there's definitely 1323 01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:40,560 good options, but then you start to run out because that's like 1324 01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:44,040 the fun part about Crucible is you have these restrictions. 1325 01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:46,840 The first half of the deck can be really obvious, but then the 1326 01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:48,840 second-half you're like scratching your head like, OK, 1327 01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:50,440 how do I actually fill out this deck list? 1328 01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:59,840 So I had in my deck a card that I hate but I just need tools in 1329 01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:02,960 this God awful format. I think I know what. 1330 01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:05,320 This card is it is Emissary of Wind. 1331 01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:10,960 Nevermind, Emissary of Wind was one of those cards from Mist 1332 01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:14,600 fail where it's like they separated E strike into three 1333 01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,880 shitty versions of it. They're all blocked for two and 1334 01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:21,800 they swing for four and they give you like go again or 1335 01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:24,120 drawing a card. Emissary of wind gets go again. 1336 01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:27,560 If you but you have to bottom, you may bottom a card in order 1337 01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:29,560 to get go again. Otherwise it's just a 0 for four 1338 01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:33,319 because there's only so many 0 cost go again attacks that exist 1339 01:08:33,319 --> 01:08:36,000 in the game that aren't common. I can't run scar for a scar. 1340 01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:39,600 I can't run Ravenous Rabble like I can't run my favorite so I 1341 01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:41,279 have to run these weird ass ones. 1342 01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:44,640 No Rune Ranger swarm. Oh. 1343 01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:48,399 Right, Yeah, like it's just a little bit rough out here for a 1344 01:08:48,399 --> 01:08:51,760 fuzzy. So these cards that I don't. 1345 01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:53,240 Really. Like, Oh my God. 1346 01:08:53,279 --> 01:08:55,040 And we'll see what works. I'm sure it'll be fine. 1347 01:08:55,359 --> 01:08:57,479 I'm really like, I haven't even had a chance to try out this 1348 01:08:57,479 --> 01:08:58,680 deck yet. I'm really excited to see how it 1349 01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:00,600 plays. Yeah, I thought he was going to 1350 01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:02,399 say lead the charge, but I realize now that. 1351 01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:05,560 Oh man, I also really don't like lead the charge. 1352 01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:08,240 Yeah, it's literally just like you gain go against my. 1353 01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:12,800 It's not often Fuzzy hates cards, so this is really fun. 1354 01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:17,399 Yeah, it's like I just every time in draft, I will like never 1355 01:09:17,399 --> 01:09:19,560 draft like this card. I hate it that much. 1356 01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:21,880 It's funny because I've drafted it before in Enigma. 1357 01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:24,479 Yeah, and. I know that it's like not that 1358 01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:26,520 bad because a lot of people seem to like it. 1359 01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:31,240 Anyway, I have brought a copy for each of you that I will sign 1360 01:09:31,319 --> 01:09:33,200 as is tradition here on the podcast. 1361 01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:37,560 One for you and one for you. Thank you, Fuzzy. 1362 01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:39,200 Alright, I think that's all I got. 1363 01:09:39,319 --> 01:09:41,960 Yeah, I think that's the end of the Arsenal zone and 1364 01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,760 unfortunately the end of our episode. 1365 01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:46,800 And if you want to play on Crucible, subscribe to our 1366 01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:49,520 Patreon.

I think everyone is really 1387 01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:49,520 really excited for the high seas and I expect this set to pop the 1388 01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:53,920 absolute fuck off. I cannot wait for pre release 1389 01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:56,600 weekend, especially with that brand new announcement that 1390 01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:59,320 multiple pre releases at one store. 1391 01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:03,080 Oh yeah, so much extra product, especially in the US. 1392 01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:05,720 Admittedly, a little bit of US privilege. 1393 01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:08,600 Here we go. But our Nats are like the week 1394 01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:10,920 after pretty early. So give us a break, I guess. 1395 01:11:11,440 --> 01:11:14,880 But like, I cannot wait for the amount of cases that I'm going 1396 01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:17,560 to buy of this set. Oh God, the amount of drafts 1397 01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:21,040 that I'm going to run of this set is going to be so much fun. 1398 01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:23,120 I'm going to get you to Nats ready. 1399 01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:24,960 We'll see.

Aren't pirates just like quirky 1417 01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:54,640 and random businessmen? Aren't they just capitalists? 1418 01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:59,000 And they're not right.
