Nice thumbnail and editing of the video! The graphics of the cards were really helpful 👌 Did you guys outsource your editing or who on the team has these mad skills? Watching these podcasts really gets me excited for the launch event! I've never actually done a draft before so looking forward to that 🤯
Thanks man appreciate it! Everything is done inhouse 😎 Colin is a natural and has taken on the the editing. Ricardo made the overlay and any other designs. Teamwork makes the dream work. We're super exited to be putting out what we strive to be a high level of production. But we have lots to learn, it's just episode 2 😅

Please share whether players in your community have been able to benefit from the Adventure Pass system. Here in Texas there was initial excitement about playing in person to receive unique cards in the Promo packs but the fact that many unique cards are so situational and many are not better than their corresponding rare card, now the enthusiasm has dampened.
Personally (this is Jan aka Yawn), I believe the unique system Altered has is one of the things that makes this game so...well unique, interesting, and revolutionary. Yes I agree that as a more casual player, it can be frustrating to find a unique that is 'good' let alone fits the deck you want to play. However I'm optimistic that the launch of the marketplace will work to close the gap on this challenge. Ultimately it will always be difficult to find that 'perfect' unique, whether that's good or bad is debatable. I like the huge variability in the possibilities, which makes all decks different - this can be quite drastic too if building around a specific ability on uniques. In a way it could ensure that things won't ever too stale. There are plenty of 'average' unique out there that will be accessible while still adding value and fun to your deck. One last thing that I will say, I do think and I'm sure Equinox will hear similar feedback, there should be some sort of floor on how 'bad' a unique can be, though it can be tough to know what that means exactly as it's not black or white. I'm curious for context, are you also playing arena on BGA or trying to climb in ELO? Or more for fun / playing with your son.
@@topshelfco Thanks for the quick reply. I just checked BGA and I have played over 200 games of Altered. However my last game with an opponent other than my son was 50 days ago. I never checked Arena because, in general, I am not a very good player. It was easy to qualify with ELO greater than 100 in the early days when I had opened four KS displays and many folks were still playing with starter decks that they had augmented with a handful of boosters. My ELO is about 125. The nature of randomness in Altered allowed me to occasionally beat player with ELO in the 200s. I enjoy most the exploration of this TCG of the future. I applied for the beta test of the Marketplace and POD. More than thirty years ago I wandered into a shop that specialized in selling baseball cards. The owner convinced me to buy this new game called MTG to introduce to my ten year old son.

Not sure why we kept calling Booda as 'Boodrah' apologies to the Bravos battalion 🙏
Interesting point about the multiple accounts! I feel only having one faction for rewards makes it too hard to choose!
🤫Please make sure you are not breaking any TOS!
loving the videos so far! it would be very nice if you could perhaps increase the microphone volume as it is quite low!
Appreciate it! Noted the volume feedback, we will see what we can do :)

Wow thank you for confirming Justin! And thanks for checking out our Diving into Altered series 😎
Sounds super fair and reasonable!
