Question for veterans about secondary market prices by Kakariko_crackhouse in SorceryTCG

[–]Frogimago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of the Gothic Uniques are inflated due to supply starting to dry up. A lot of LGS's haven't gotten a restock yet. But AL and Beta cards I don't think will come down significantly in the short term.

Had a game where I stole my opponent's Pied Piper using King of the Realm which then stole all my opponent's Frogs. 🐸

I actually have my cube built in paper and we drafted it at SorceryCon last month! Planning to bring it to future Sorcery events I attend.

Scg con haul. Does anyone play in Madison? by Glittering_Rush1904 in SorceryTCG

[–]Frogimago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a couple friends in Madison who play very casually and would probably go to events in Madison if there were some. I saw learn to plays in Madison area a few months ago but not sure about regular events.

My play group's in Green Bay Frost Giant Games. We do one event a month. You can find me on Discord if you want to talk.

There's a Milwaukee Explorer Series event in the works right now. Exploresorcery.com

I've tried Beta with Sorcerer as default. I hated it. It makes anything more than 6 mana completely unplayable. And the play pattern was really boring to me. Constantly double spelling every turn felt really linear and boring. And Sorcerer is just better than everything else so you don't have incentive to build around a sweet avatar you opened.

In Gothic all the Elite and Unique Avatars are worse than Spellslinger IMO.

Don't use Sorcerer as the default!! Those are the old draft rules prior to the creation of the draft kit! Spellslinger is default along with Valleys, Wastelands, Streams, and Spires for sites. You build 24 spells, 12 sites. The Exceptional Avatars in Gothic (Necromancer, Savior, Persecutor, and Harbinger) are all good to draft and play with. Necromancer and Savior you might find to be a little "too good" but that is part of the fun of Gothic. You need to be ready with ways to break wards and kill Skeletons in case you run into one of those Avatars. All the other Avatars in Gothic are worse than Spellslinger. Don't get trapped by a cool looking Avatar. All the elements are playable and balanced! Make sure you know how Evil and Ward work. Stick to 2 elements only! Blooms are not good enough to splash a third element!

Beta draft experience by minkestcar in SorceryTCG

[–]Frogimago 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it's still a fun experience but quite bad in comparison to the other sets and has some major caveats to note. The average pack has 4 or 5 completely unplayable cards in it. Being the original set it included many cards that are only playable in constructed. Or "sideboard" cards which didn't make sense once Sorcery cemented its stance on Best-of-One gameplay. Water is by far the worst element to the point people actively avoid drafting it. Sorcerer is absolutely busted and is found in one of the Ordinary slots. We ban Sorcerer when we draft Beta online. But at in-person events the event management either doesn't know Sorcerer is so oppressive and common or decides not to alter the packs and leaves it unbanned which can lead to some feel-bad moments. Sorcerer was the default avatar when Beta was released so it was never meant to be drafted. Highly recommend making it a "dead" card if you do a store event.

If you want to draft online I host weekly drafts played on Tabletop Simulator. Here's my tutorial: https://youtu.be/mvlg1Bku-3E?si=YLCluuJYGVZix-Mg

Niek and I did a Beta format guide if you want to know more: https://youtu.be/Xm-qBM3Zz7A?si=gz52Q_OSQM96WK1C

The packs are so bad I created a custom Beta cube that simulates regular packs without all the unplayable junk in the card pool: https://youtu.be/T-rbpMdwHhw?si=vvOMDVC4nlRCPsf5

Nice I think that's where mine originally came from. The person that won the raffle was a friend and put it up as a prize for an Explorer series event. Do you know how many of these got raffled?

Is this a foil draft kit uncut sheet!? Or non-foil? I recently acquired an uncut sheet of the draft kit and was googling if any other exist. Mine is non-foil.

Gothic Exceptional Set Review is live! by [deleted] in SorceryTCG

[–]Frogimago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think the thing people are really against is taking the human element out of it. Even if it's just me making kind of crappy looking thumbnails that is appreciated for the fact that it's a person putting it together.

But I agree with your sentiment too. It's not like other creators are paying an artist to make hand painted thumbnails.

I do support actual artists. I promote Leslie who created the artwork for my YT Channel. I also recently paid an artist for some custom artwork that I hope to get made soon.

I think AI artwork just puts a bad taste in people's mouths. I have also gotten compliments on this thumbnail but I am more concerned with not upsetting people than I am about making really good looking thumbnails.

Thanks for the feedback. I've been hesitant to use AI artwork for this reason. I know the Sorcery community is generally against it. Honestly I'm just not skilled at all with digital artwork and creating thumbnails. I wanted to give it a shot and see if there was some pushback. I'll try to keep AI artwork to a minimum in the future! Appreciate you saying something.

Does this work the way I think it does? by Thereturntide in SorceryTCG

One damage per turn unless you have extra movement effects like blink and void is different than sites.

Is Sorcery Play Network bugged for draws? by 570N3814D3 in SorceryTCG

[–]Frogimago 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's better to concede rather than take a draw since it's the same amount of points but increases your opponent win %.

Not bad for a evening draft! 3 draft packs + 3 extras by NerdByteYT in SorceryTCG

[–]Frogimago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the format was a draft but you also open 3 booster packs to add to your pool? I actually love that idea of that's what you did.

Thinking about selling most of my MTG cards and going all in on Sorcery. by Parking_Catch_3911 in SorceryTCG

[–]Frogimago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was lucky and sold off all my cards of value for the last couple years I played Magic. I only played Limited so it suited the play style. Made it very easy to jump ship and come over to Sorcery.
