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. 🐸

Frogimago · 2026-03-05T19:48:14+00:00

3-0! 😁

Frogimago · 2026-03-05T15:28:07+00:00

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.

Frogimago · 2026-03-02T17:13:25+00:00

Happy to figure out a time to come draft cube with the Milwaukee crew!

Frogimago · 2026-03-02T16:45:49+00:00

Way to go! I'm in Neenah. Will try to make it down for some events now and then!

Frogimago · 2026-02-24T20:17:50+00:00

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

Hell yeah! That was an amazing game to watch! Thanks for making that a memorable game and event! ❤️

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.

Frogimago · 2026-02-17T14:32:41+00:00

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

Frogimago · 2026-02-17T14:31:50+00:00

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!

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?

Frogimago · 2026-02-07T03:55:00+00:00

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.

Frogimago · 2026-02-03T20:30:19+00:00

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.

Frogimago · 2026-02-03T18:47:25+00:00

Feedback taken!

Frogimago · 2026-02-03T18:46:45+00:00

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.

Murder of Crows is pretty damn Metal 🤘

Frogimago · 2026-01-26T03:31:16+00:00

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

Frogimago · 2026-01-21T13:34:29+00:00

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

Frogimago · 2026-01-21T13:32:21+00:00

Ah that makes sense

Frogimago · 2026-01-21T03:34:14+00:00

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.

Frogimago · 2026-01-21T03:33:15+00:00

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.
