@Americantexan I’m not sure who they hired, but whoever it was, it was a total waste of time and money.

@@tetsucat13 that’s what I figured. There’s no thematic element to these miniatures. They’re just place-holders.

@@ronsuarez4291 agreed. I think they end up offending the entire community in an effort to avoid offending 1 person.

@@QuarantinedCapricorn Agreed. If we all focused on perceptions then nobody would be safe. Kaladesh was simply the name of a card set. Nothing negative was intended.

@@calebcottle_roundnet Thanks! Depending on how much interest there is we might!

@ awesome! the game looks great :)

@@matiasnl I’m so glad to hear it’s a hit at your lgs! The game isn’t perfect, but it’s nice to see something different from the typical fantasy CCG. I hope the popularity continues to grow!

@@the.dirt.man. It’s bad as in it’s immoral, or you just don’t like this particular art?

@ yes

@@the.dirt.man. it’s totally up to you whether the art is appealing or not, but I’m now sure how AI art is immoral???

@@jakksonkobalt lorcana is one that I haven’t tried yet but it’s on my radar. I haven’t heard of Universes before. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!

@BeAHeroGaming universus used to be referred to as My Hero tcg or before that Universal Fighting System

@@TrollTanxd no, it was pretty coherent. I’m just stating my opinion. You don’t have to agree with me.

Eww, it's a crypto card game? No thanks

@@ShadowLynx777 To be fair, while the company is run by Generic Crypto Bros and their original pitch was heavy on the crypto/NFT aspect (Kickstarter doesn't allow this and shut them down), the kickstarter that did finish had that aspect removed. I imagine it's still prevalent on their website and likely to be integrated into the future of the game if it continues. This is all from memory of back when it happened, so I wouldn't be able to say much more than that with any certainty. Plenty of Good videos on RUclips that go over it though! The most frustrating part, at least for me, is that it does look like there's a kernel of a good game here. It's not just a Magic or Pokemon clone. But the abundant generative AI use and the predatory FOMO focus just kills it completely for me.

@@mauiimakesgames my enthusiasm for the game is genuine. It’s a great game. You sound like you have a chip on your shoulder. Don’t be angry because my opinion is different from yours. I would love to hear your opinion in a more diplomatic/constructive way.

@@ShadowLynx777 it’s not a crypto game. I backed the kickstarter and I’ve thoroughly played-tested the game and I’ve never owned crypto. But think what you want.

@@mauiimakesgames all CCG’s use FOMO. You should give the game a look. It’s pretty cool if you can get past the AI-assisted art. But I understand it won’t be for everyone. Thanks for your balanced comment! I like that you can see the bad and the good.

@@viardzen yes the lands definitely are necessary in mtg, that’s not my point. I realize you need a lot to make multiple decks and for certain formats. I’m talking about the game itself. I would much rather make a deck of 50 cards where every card is important rather than a deck of 40 cards and then throw in 20 basic lands. The only important thing about the lands is the quantity I choose to include, but each land as an individual card is pretty meaningless.

@@BeAHeroGaming Mtg's Lands and pokemon's energy to a lesser extent have kinda always been more about deckbuilding than the gameplay itself. I think it's unfair to dismiss it as just "throwing in x lands" when yeah, that does suffice, but I think managing the ratio of fast lands, lands with downsides and upsides, and basic lands to hit off of effects or just for speed has always been one of the best parts of deckbuilding in mtg. No other game challenges you to think about your resource base so specifically like that. I really enjoy the freedom of expression through the manabase too. The manabase for a fast deck looks entirely different from that of a control deck, and I think no other game really expresses this similarly because everything else tries to pretend like it's archaic or unwanted. It's dynamic and engaging to realize "oh, I should sub in a couple more basic lands because a lot of golgari decks run assassin's trophy" or to struggle between cutting some beloved lategame cards over having a more consistent manacurve. Building your deck is part of the game too, and if anything, I think basic lands are the epitome of mtg's deckbuilding's success.

@ well said. I don’t like having a giant surplus of basic lands, but you’re right - resource management is a fun part of deck building. Thank you!

@@AriesOnIce nope, not shill. I just really like the game because it solves a lot of issues I have with modern CCG’s. My enthusiasm for the game is genuine. And yes, everything I said in the video is 100% my opinion. You don’t have to agree with me. In fact, I enjoy hearing honest counter-arguments. It’s hard to judge in a comment, but it sounds like you’re just angry. Don’t be angry because my opinion is different from yours.

@@TS-LordPhrozen Sounds like I need to sharpen the saw! Thanks for your feedback, and I appreciate your diplomatic approach. You make some very good points. My only response is: yes you will accumulate a lot of commons in a game where every card is useful in a deck. But you can go to a lgs and trade/sell those cards. Nobody is going to want my basic lands/energy. I guess I could give them to a new player, but they will soon have the same issue. It’s also more fun to craft a 50 card deck where EVERY card could have an impact on the game, rather than making a 40 card deck and then tossing 20 basic lands/energy in. 1/3 of the deck really has no impact on the game at all (aside from the quantity).

@@trixer230 my point has nothing to do with distribution at all. I’m talking about the game itself. A game that requires mana/energy/leader/etc. to play will have to include those cards in a pack. Over time you will accumulate a bulk of useless cards (for playing the game). Wonders of the First has solved this issue by making EVERY card potentially useful in a deck. If you don’t play a particular color, then trade/sell those cards. I can’t trade or sell my huge box of basic lands/energy that I’ve accumulated over the years.

@@HyperHowie56 I’m actually the opposite. I didn’t really like the sorcery art, but I really like the Wonders cards. That’s why it’s nice to have so many choices. There’s a game for everyone!

@@BeAHeroGaming Definitely great to have tons of choices! We live in an awesome time where everyone can find something that they really like.

@@TNT925 it’s not really an issue if you buy singles, but if you’re opening a lot of packs you’re going to end up with a ton of leaders that you will probably never use.

@@QuarantinedCapricorn yes indeed! It can’t get here soon enough!

@@ronaldwilliams8776 😂 no I’m not. I know it might seem that way, but I’m honestly just hooked on this game. It’s so much fun and it remedies so many of my gripes with modern CCG’s.

@BeAHeroGaming I hope you do get sponsored watch Capricorn he's also doing videos and got sponsored also you should go to the first shattering

@@Retroactiveadjustment I’ve heard of it before but I’ve never tried it. Now I’m intrigued. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!

@@joedouglass9966 For real! The First Form Myths are the ones to go after. They will pack a punch in a deck.

@@mauriciomartell2433 true. It’s hard to find casual players. Most players at LGS’s are hard core.

@@joedouglass9966 Yes! I watched Brian Tinsman (lead game designer) play that way and it’s a much better way to play.

@@scornlok9321 It’s called Wonders of the First. A new collectible card game that comes out in March. It’s really fun and completely different from the average CCG. I’m going to post a how to play video soon, so stay tuned.

@@soulbender66 yes we can put that together. Keep a lookout for it!

@@ZackeroniAndCheese yugioh is one that I’ve never tried. But I keep hearing about it so much that I might have to check it out.

@BeAHeroGaming if you ever do, I recommend checking out Edison Format. It is the 2nd most popular way to play. Advanced Format has had the same complexity creep issues as MTG. I am not as much of a fan of Advanced Format.

@@ZackeroniAndCheese way to go! The problem is that there aren’t many like you left. All the new players want Universes Beyond, so WOTC is selling it.

@@jkid1134 interesting take on the tropic. I don’t think these lands are just opportunities for expression. It’s definitely an additional resource that needs to be managed, but it eliminates the need for “basic” cards that are essentially worthless once you have dozens of them. Whether you buy packs or singles depends on your goals as a player/collector. If you’re a serious player trying to fine-tune a deck then definitely go with singles. But if you’re a new player building a collection or you like opening packs for the mystery of what they contain then go for it (responsibly 😉).

@BeAHeroGaming on the lands: yeah, that's what I mean by an escape clause, something they can do when mana production is pointless. lands are inherently so bricky - unless a hand of all lands or a hand of no lands can play, they WILL determine many games - that I think the text will feel less cool and more neccesary. but obviously this is speculation from quite a distance. side note: early magic thought they were dealing with this with land destruction, but it causes more problems than it solves so I didn't mention it. side note 2: the "I wish a hand full of lands or non-lands could play" thinking is I think how you get to "any card can be played as a mana source" games like wizards likes to make now on the packs: they're worse for collecting unless your goal is to collect literally every card in the set (and even then there's a point where you should stop and just buy the remaining singles), and this is the goal of almost no one. casuals have preferred playstyles and colors, competitive players understand some of the cards to be bad. have you done a side by side, like, how many playable blue cards I could buy from the newest mtg set for the cost of a box? it's not close. the "if you like opening packs" thing is true enough, but to me that's just like how you should only buy lottery tickets if you like scratching - I recommend it to no one.

ever heard of flesh and blood? every card produces resources of varying amounts, with cards that produce more being less effective. a hand with all 1-resource cards is still playable for most decks but has a less efficient resource curve, and a hand with all 3-resource cards is definitely playable but is less effective. there are very few total brick hands. you also generally cycle your entire hand every turn so one bad hand won't lose you the game.

@ yes I’ve tried that game a few times. The thing I don’t like about it is that you have to pitch cards so you’re not able to play them. Kinda like Star Wars Unlimited - I don’t want to throw cards away for resources. I can never decide which ones to pitch!

@@ChrisZamundo-wp5bl not even necessary. The game already has too many great things that already set it apart from Magic.

What are your top 3 non-basic lands?

@@Urneosnrbwosrniensbrieensfurjd yes, you are correct that there are some exotic lands in mtg, but the point here is two-fold. One, MOST of the lands in a mtg deck are basic lands, but NONE of the lands in WotF are basic. And Two, when you open a pack of mtg you will usually get a basic land - who cares - in WotF when you open a pack, there are no basic (land) cards of any kind. Every card is interesting and potentially valuable in your deck. Even the “common” lands have tremendous value in a deck.

@@BeAHeroGaming To be frank here, unless we're talking about monocoloured decks in MTG, it goes the other way around: most lands AREN'T basic. Also, a lot of players tend to stockpile basic land cards in order to build new decks in the future, or to play draft/sealed games, even more so if they're full art ones (or, hell, foil full art basic lands, which people love to collect). If I'm not buying preconstructed decks, that's my only actual source of lands for those needs. Don't get me wrong, I like the concept of the lands in this game, and they sound extremely interesting. But any MTG player with a bit of experience will see your comparison and think it's a bit disingenuous or misleading.

@@HarverTheSlayer Yes, I’m one that likes a shiny foil land for sure. And I guess if you’re playing a multi-color mtg deck you might have a lot of non-basic lands. I just wanted to showcase the fact that none of these lands are basic. They are just as exciting to pull from a pack (or build into a deck) as creatures, items, or spells. I’m going to post a how-to-play video soon. You should check it out so you can see them in action!

@@melonlord2229 sure, there’s definitely some good art in other games. My main point is that the lands serve multiple purposes which make them a lot more exciting to collect, pull from a pack, and build into a deck.

@@brennanlable because: 1. The gameplay is unique and really fun, plus it’s not just another reskinned mtg 2. It’s created not just for collectors and not just for players, but for both 3. The team behind the game includes experts in game design, experts in collectability, experts in lore and world building among others 4. The card art is epic and cohesive 5. There will never be reprints so cards will retain value 6. The DBS allows for equal deck strength in a competitive environment 7. I could keep going, but you can clearly see there are more reasons to collect this game than any other. Don’t be so short-sighted and write something off just because you’re bothered by 1 thing.

@@BeAHeroGamingok but counter point if the game doesn’t catch on the cards are worthless and for a second point if the art is ai it’s not gonna have value among collectors of things as ai art is essentially free because it doesn’t come from an actual artist meaning just about anybody could make the art for this game. Also not a reskin of magic the gathering you’re essentially using the exact same mechanics tell me what does a shield counter do?

@ yes the gaming community will decide whether or not the game becomes collectible. Nobody can see the future, but because this game is different on multiple levels than all other CCG’s it is positioned to do well. You should give it a try. I’m going to post a play through soon. Check it out.

​@@BeAHeroGamingto

@@cariad561 The theme is pretty straightforward - each land supports cards of that orbital (color). And the art is pretty epic. But I realize everyone doesn’t share the same opinion. If you don’t like it that’s up to you.

@@MasonPedotto agreed! Not only is the game itself amazing in countless ways, but the team behind it is top notch.

@@ronsuarez4291 I’m glad it was helpful!

@@bjamps just over 2 weeks away!

@@Americantexan yes! Hope to make it happen!

@@NEREKA7 nope not an ad. Banned cards is a major flaw in mtg. I found a game that fixes that so I thought I’d share what I found. That’s it.

@@danceable 🤦🏻‍♂️ oh your right! Thanks for keeping me on track!

@@coprographia 😂 you’re cracking me up my friend. Looks like you finally watched the whole thing! Nope not a pitch, just an awesome game that has fixed a lot of things wrong with popular CCGS. And come on now, nobody is throwing anyone anywhere, and my content will proceed as I see fit, but thanks for the input.

@@coprographia I wish it was that simple, but I really don’t think it has to do with different formats being good or bad. It’s so people can use their banned cards.

@@BeAHeroGaming I didn’t say different formats were good or bad. I said they _all suck_ . It’s Balkanization. A diaspora. Goldilocks as Sisyphus. That shelf full of Holy Grails at the end of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, except we can only choose poorly. It’s Linux.

dissolution Noun 1. The termination of an organized body or legislative assembly, especially a formal dismissal. 2. Disintegration, or decomposition into fragments. 3. Dissolving, or going into solution. 4. The quality of being dissolute.

@@FordMrson The basic cards for both combat and diplomacy are numbered 1-25, and the advanced cards are numbered 1-15 (advanced card also have the character name at the top). You take the first 15 basic cards to form your starting card pool, then you shuffle the remaining 10 basic cards with the 15 advanced cards (make sure the colored banners at the top match) to form a pool of cards that you will draw from when using xp to upgrade your deck. Do this for both combat cards and diplomacy cards.

@@BeAHeroGaming Here is my issue it has 4 different colors isn't that right? it has 25 cards each from 1 to 25 i see nowhere from 1 to 15 unless you mean from the 1-10 are the basics and from 10 to 25 are the advanced cards of the same color.

@ you’re right, it took me a minute to wrap my head around it. The different colors allow each character to have their own set of cards. When you complete an encounter with more than 1 player the cards can get mixed up as you play them together. The colors help you know who’s cards are who’s after you complete the encounter.

@@BeAHeroGaming yeah but there are 25 cards of each color right? so from those 25 who are the basics and who the advanced cards?

@ the cards numbered 1-25 are the basic ones. There should be another set of cards, with the character name at the top, numbered 1-15. Those are the advanced cards.

@@AaronOneal-e7h I think you’re right. It seems most people play commander, and the other formats are kinda in the background (including standard).

@BeAHeroGaming I remember when my locals used to do Standard,Legacy,Drafts and pre releases. Now it's just Pre releases and Commander on Friday nights.

@@BeAHeroGaming also I'm pretty sure channel is banned in Legacy. Sorry to burst your bubble.

@ yes it is.

@@FlagrareUnbound I feel you. Don’t know where they’re going with this, but after sponge bob, it could go anywhere.

@@munooro ya, you’re right. Maybe I didn’t make that point clear in the video. I should NOT have been ok with it. But because people (me) embraced it WOTC ran away with it, and now, down the slippery slope we go.
