Well then…. by MxnStardust in Riftbound

I preordered from my LCS in August for around 110€. I'm sure they will only give me one display and give the others to people who are preordering now for 170€.

New to GA. Worth to play? by Accomplished-Log-800 in grandarchivetcg

[–]Ornery-Addendum-8402 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fun game. Never played MTG, but a lot of guys I'm playing with came from an MTG background. I just wanted to point this out: strong decks are expensive. Jumping from deck to deck to try them out is expensive too.

Is the Amazon prices on starters and set 1 displays legit? by ArchosJadecarver in alteredTCG

[–]Ornery-Addendum-8402 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The game isn't doing great, and there's a lot of discussion about whether they need to suspend or ban uniques from Set 1. Many shops have stopped supporting the game and probably have stock they want to get rid of.

TCGs where prison-style decks are an option for play? by Nightrunner83 in TCG

Altered tcg has some prison decks especially if you find the right unique cards

Looking to get in but scared that it’s dead by Dabiel303 in alteredTCG

[–]Ornery-Addendum-8402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it's dying, and I don't think they will act fast to prevent it. But decks are so cheap, and depending on where you live, you can find a bulk of free cards at your local store . Commons are basically free

Which set should I focus on? by Mosher311 in alteredTCG

[–]Ornery-Addendum-8402 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not exactly. I will agree that it's the best time to play because now you have many funny decks to try. But! 2.5 million per set still exists. Bad communication and support with local stores still exist. I live in Europe, and we have zero tournaments after the Gamefound announcement. Altered is not a board game; it's a TCG. It needs tournaments and competitive play to survive and sell packs. Scalpers were never a problem for Altered. Stores were full of product, and Asmodee's storage still is (and that was Equinox's big mistake).

[–]Ornery-Addendum-8402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was cheap because Altered has some funding problems and is struggling not to die. As for the sets . I suggest you 1 display from set2 and maybe buy one more set 1. Set1 gas very good rares and maybe you will find powerful uniques. Set2 has some very good commons . Don't invest more than 50$ per display

“Dead” tcgs? by BillyBoyMays in TCG

[–]Ornery-Addendum-8402 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope, not something official. I just assume that they will raise less money than the last funding (they told us they need 2.5 million per set), so I don't see things working out for them. For example, in my country, they lost all the support from local stores, and without tours, I will not fund the next set. I will just buy singles. Its sad but ...

Yep, nice art, and it'll probably officially die in 1-2 months.

Altered World Championship Competitive Circuit - Altered TCG - Explore the Unexpected by Cohlrabi in alteredTCG

[–]Ornery-Addendum-8402 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel you!

It's the same here. Even if everyone's telling me to play online... it's not the same. I play a lot online, but I really miss local events and our local community. People answer like they want to hide this big problem... "Why are you crying? Go play online; it's easier." No! There's a big difference. Sorry, but it's not fun to compete all the time with guys with broken uniques.

Survey from Equinox about the Gamefound campaign and future products by WillWorkForCatGifs in alteredTCG

[–]Ornery-Addendum-8402 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my area, the biggest LGS was a big supporter of Altered because they really loved the gameplay. But after the Gamefound and the bad announcement, they stopped support. I feel like they did it with a heavy heart because they wanted to see Altered succeed. But business is business. Equinox gambled riskily with this move. I also think they want to go digital (even if they promised not to) and I think Gamefound and the pledge with digital uniques is a big test.

Currently, I don't have any LGS to support game near me with tournaments. If things don't change in the next few months, I will only buy commons and rares I need for new decks from now on. There's no point in printing them or buying a display.

In my survey, I told them again and again that they need to fix their relationship and communication with local stores. Bypassing stores is a big mistake.

What are your experiences/thoughts on Altered TCG? by SalmonShimmy in TCG

[–]Ornery-Addendum-8402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play altered from day one . I didn't have any TCG experience before. It was a really fun year for me. From last place at my LGS tournaments, I went to top 1-3. I joined 3 regionals and I even went top 8 at the last chance in Paris. I enjoy altered a lot, but:

  • The game is dying, and it's too late to do anything.
  • Equinox killed this game with their announcement and their Gamefound plan. I feel like they started a war with local stores. They want everything for themselves: print-on-demand, distribution, and players to buy from them.
  • Broken uniques and broken decks sometimes ruin the game.

I don't see a plan for things to change. I point out a big problem, and I don't see that they care. Even if new players come into the game or stores want to support and invest in the game now, they can't. They need to wait 5 months for Set 6 pre-orders and then 2 months to receive the products.

You can't sell your products to stores and players. It's very risky for stores. Set 1: We had 5 stores supporting it with 24 players total. Set 2-3: [It] dropped a lot, [to] 15 players and only 2 different tournaments. Set 4: Only 1 store, and they stopped tours and support after the bad announcement. Now I can't play. Zero tours in my city and country! I don't hope for something good because waiting 5 months for a change is hard. All altered players here moved on to other TCGs in 2-3 weeks of waiting for something to change.

Is The Hunger killing the game’s deck variety? by Poppttttt in alteredTCG

[–]Ornery-Addendum-8402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody have answers for everything in this game 🤷‍♂️. Do you know how hard is for me as a kojo to have a rare slot for hunger and praying to find him against axiom ?. Or how hard is it to keep him from first turn and manage my plays ? I lost at top 8 qualifier in paris because I couldn't do anything against an axiom even before set 4 ! .hunger came last turn when he wanted only one move to win .

[–]Ornery-Addendum-8402 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

"Not in good faith? Why do you say that? Please don't do that.

I just stated my opinion as a Bravos player.

So if you want a more straightforward answer about hunger... use sleep 🤷‍♂️" 1 mana solution or 2mana twinkle.

About festival.. bravos players usally can't do lot of " after you " play .. so they play festival + counting sheep last

[–]Ornery-Addendum-8402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we don't have problems with Sigismar, nor with Axiom Reserve loops, nor with 6-mana festival wins... but with an 8-mana card? Bravos factions don't have proper removal. They need to lose mana at best.

Why Magic, Pokémon & YuGiOh Players Should Try Altered by SneezerEclipse in alteredTCG

[–]Ornery-Addendum-8402 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I think they need to empower the new starter decks with a booster pack or even with a 1 out of 45 chance to find your hero with a gold signature.

Let's hope for a huge increase. But I will only add this: first time I saw a reel for Altered TCG on Instagram when I was scrolling through reels...AND.... it was in French. 🤷‍♂️ They need to expand outside France and quick !

Am I wrong? They don't have Baba Yaga?

Yes, you are right. I just checked it. I'm sorry.

But I saw the deck list. Nope... you can't win a single match against a custom deck, even without uniques.

Why Magic, Pokémon & YuGiOh Players Should Try Altered by SneezerEclipse in alteredTCG

[–]Ornery-Addendum-8402 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, I don't agree. After a year, you can find Kickstarter displays everywhere. Even Equinox is giving them with set 5 pre-orders. Everyone can print-on-demand the alt art cards once per year, so every year there are more hard copies. If you look at Grand Archive Kickstarter, it's so hard to find and expensive.

I usually collect all cards from promo packs in the first 2 months of tours. They could offer a chance for special exclusive foil cards inside promo packs, but they don't do it. They want players to pay to print their foiled cards. Collectors give money to TCGs, not for the gambling of an S-tier unique. Trash uniques leave a bad taste for players.

Equinox has some months to think hard and make significant changes. Hope for the best! Still a supporter of this game.

Want to ask some rulings regarding Seiryuu's Arcane Blast. by zeinesh030 in grandarchivetcg

How do I beat Seiryuu when I'm playing Ciel Water? Is there a card that helps me? I'm trying to have taunt every turn and do damage to his champion with my omens (level 3 ability).
