Great video, thanks! If the expansion comes with decks, do you really need the base game? I've only got the first edition and heard that you need the second for Red Rains but since it comes with Phoenixborn decks, it looks as if you only need the dice (which I have)...
Funny seeing this video as i have just purchased a bunch of ashes a few days ago after watching a solo playthrough. I ended up trying to get as close to the $250 spend to get the 30% off. That came to master set + all 3 red rains + all 3 deluxe expansions + 3 extra PB. $185 after discount with free shipping i couldn't resist as i usually love card games but somehow missed ashes.
question from a newbie: You mentioned you can use the aspects of one Chimera with a different chimera (so maybe take the Blight of Neverset Chimera but using the Shadow aspect of Corpse of Viros) How does this work? Is the chimera itself any different other than its health/thread/ultimate values? Is the behavior card different or something? Otherwise the aspect deck feels like the thing that defines the chimera and there isnt much point to mixing and matching right?
This is a great question. Yes the behaviour and ultimate cards for each of the Chimeras are different. So when the Ultimate ability for a chimera is triggered, each of them behave a different way.
@@Boss-zo4lw yes these red rains expansions do come with Phoenixborn that are in the master set and expansions, but they do come with brand new signature cards that only those Phoenixborn can use.
@@BreinGames Good question. The “white box” product is the 1st edition of Ashes which went through major rules changes and card balancing. It’s a product that is hard to find. With consultation, I made the decision that since those changes were made in 2021 most people won’t encounter the “white box” or have already upgraded.
@@BreinGames None of the “white box” product is compatible with any of the Reborn product that was released in 2021. If people had the “white box” product there was an/is an Upgrade Kit people could buy to have all the changes.
So far I’ve picked up each Red Rains expansion as it comes to retail. I got the divine deluxe as well in anticipation of Siege of Lordswall. Next deluxe will probably be sympathy, but it depends on what they announce for the next expansion. My first regular phoenixborn pack will probably be Xander. I can’t stay away from dinosaurs, especially ones you can ride!
@@Birdman566 Wow, what a great way to kick off your Ashes collection. I assume then you are playing mainly solo. Xander, and all the Phoenixborn in the “divine” cycle are solid choices to pick up. Any others you have your eye on?
@@MistaRauGaming Mostly Red Rains, yes, but not much solo actually. I’ve only played a couple of solo games, though I did enjoy them. I usually play with my son. Rin has caught my eye. Ice bears and golems are pretty cool, but Harold’s cool too. There are too many for my wallet and time to allow me to get. I’d love to go in on that plaidhat deal, but alas I can’t justify it to myself right now.
@12:32 you say it will come to retail soon, it will never EVER come to retail Team covenant has a 90 day exclusive on new product not even plaid hat will sell it and your local store will never carry it unless they can get the current cards when they come out. So you should say at 12:32 or 6:37 that new players that want the new product must subscribe to TC and if they don't like that they should just not play the game. It is too bad because I know 10 retailers that would carry Ashes if they could get there hands on the new product and place pre orders and such but no TC has to bottle neck the game for life.
I agree that in hindsight I should have mentioned the Team Covenant subscription plan, and that’s the way to get the brand new product. To say that it will “never ever come to retail” is false because after that 90day window the product is available to order through Plaid Hat and regular distribution (whoever Plaid Hat distributes through). This video though is for people who don’t have Ashes, or have very little Ashes content. Everything I mention (minus the latest Red Rains pack) is available regularly not through TC.
@@MistaRauGaming to say "I should have mentioned the Team Covenant subscription plan, and that’s the way to get the brand new product. " is false because it is the only way to get the product when it is released can you even name a single LGS that plans to carry either of the latest 2 expansions? 90 days is pure greed on TC's part and will restrict the games growth
@@mikehancoski my local game stores here in Saskatoon carry everything Ashes, and a few online retailers in Canada also carry the Red Rains expansions. Ashes was a “dead product” until that deal with TC was made. If it wasn’t for them Ashes Reborn in its current state would not exist. Maybe it is time for Plaid Hat to review the terms of that commitment with TC now that Ashes is getting a lot more attention.

thanks for such a detailed introduction of Ashes ❤
Hooray, thanks for making this Ryan!
You’re welcome sir! I hope you found the information useful. We will need to play a game together in the near future.

👏 👏 👏
Welcome to the wonderful world of Ashes Reborn! I hope you enjoy the game as much as I do. Are you going to be playing PvP or solo mostly?
@@MistaRauGaming solo mostly but if I can find someone interested in giving PvP a go I'm up for it too

That is a great guide!! :)
Thank you so much! Means a lot coming from you dude 😎
Still confused, why does the expansions come with same Heros that core box has etc, are they duplicates or alternatives etc?
@@Boss-zo4lw yes these red rains expansions do come with Phoenixborn that are in the master set and expansions, but they do come with brand new signature cards that only those Phoenixborn can use.
What’s the story with the white ashes reborn? Why no mention?
@@BreinGames Good question. The “white box” product is the 1st edition of Ashes which went through major rules changes and card balancing. It’s a product that is hard to find.

@@MistaRauGaming ok. I mean, it’s a buyers guide. I go to eBay and a good chunk of content is white. Is it not compatible?
@@BreinGames None of the “white box” product is compatible with any of the Reborn product that was released in 2021.

When can we expect more Ashes gameplay? 😁
Very soon 😎
hope u do more live stream ❤❤
They will be coming back in July 😎
Have you played Ashes Reborn yet? How much Ashes Reborn product do you own?
I own Master Set, Divine Deluxe Deck, Sympathy Deluxe Deck, Brennan deck, Rin deck, Leo Deck, Koji Deck, and Corpse of Viros
@@ShadowReaver573 nice collection! Are you looking to add any more in the future?
