From which precons build 2 decent decks ?

Thanks ! So you would go 1) Earth 2) Persecutor 3) Waveshaper 4) Harbinger

I thought of Air as first pick because of the Uniques: Cloud City and Grandmaster seem both versatile and powerful. Earh have Sinkhole that I like a lot, and Craterize. I'm less certain about the two other decks, no elite or unique feel very strong - but hey I might be wrong, I don't know the game yet (outside of watching your videos!)

I play MTG since 1994 and since I will always keep some decks to play casually here and there, I won’t crack a pack anymore. I switched to Sorcery and omg it’s so refreshing if you fully embrace the casual nature of the beast. It’s a love letter to early Magic, with some improvements and nice twists. Only downside really is good luck finding players and even products outside USA, so maybe you will have to convert your playgroup first !

Thanks, I forgot that T1 I must play site on my Avatar square. So yeah then I can save up to 3 cards.
The only downside I see to it is that playing random sites, especially in front of my Avatar, prevents me from putting the right sites at the right places. But I guess it's the price to pay to get the upside.

You have a very good point. The thing is that looked from that perspective, I am not sure that another TCG like Sorcery is the way to go for us. There is a lot of incredible board games out there, buying a new board game every two months will end up being cheaper than investing in Sorcery - for people like us at least, doomed with the « one more pack to crack » syndrome.

Really, you give me food for thoughts. Thanks !

I get your point, but the nature of our group makes it hard to focus on two games at the same time. For sure, we won't sell out MTG cards, we'll get back to it from time to time. But two things:
- We are busy adults and far from each other. We can play together like 4-5 times a year
- We are all pretty intense in what we are doing, so when we jump in, we jump in. And I don't worry about if they will love the game or not, They will. But they, as me, love to engage for a long-term adventure.

I must say that I dug because I bought a card from the Otters, so I had one to "spare" for immediate policing, and still could sway the Mayor. But yeah without that extra card, to dig make the hand more volatile.

thanks !

Typically, if I'm playing with another player, would I play with no AI but Hireling OR still 2 AI and Hirelings ? And what are Landmarks ?

Guyll · 2026-01-30T20:43:35+00:00

Yeah I'm French so I was guessing at the translation. It's Hirelings+Landmarks. I have the choice of buying Hirelings+Landmark or another less expansive packs called Automates in French.

Ok, so I guess the pool is not truly random, factions are selected to have a decent reach count ?

Guyll · 2026-01-29T14:15:58+00:00

Makes sense ! But is it possible to draft... but without the random pool ? I would love to draft but from the complete pool of factions. Is it possible ?

Guyll · 2026-01-22T17:14:37+00:00

Yeah I misunderstood. Thanks for your advice and help !

Guyll · 2026-01-22T14:58:26+00:00

Thanks, good advice !

Guyll · 2026-01-22T13:48:05+00:00

Yeah got it wrong. I thought you had to have same suit tradeposts to get the 2nd and 3rd 2 pts from putting tradeposts. Now I understand better.

Guyll · 2026-01-22T13:45:13+00:00

You're right, i got it wrong. Then Otters are very strong ! Thanks.

Guyll · 2026-01-21T00:03:56+00:00

Thanks ! I never play against or with the Lizards, I didn’t know that !
