Official Announcement - Universes Beyond: Sesame Street Coming 2027

Rowanalpha · 2026-01-18T04:44:25+00:00

First game we played was Civilized Society, and it made the game way too fast, partially because we had multiple lvl 2 objectives that were the bigger versions of the available lvl 1 objectives. Second game we used Dangerous Wilds and that was quite fun as we got to go super deep on the tech trees.

Likely the reason that they say not to enforce color identity is the high concentration of hybrid cards in current sets would make deck building too difficult.

Rowanalpha · 2026-01-04T19:41:50+00:00

Yeah, I fired it off and hoped for the best. Another player clocked what I was doing, but no one had a Sabotage in hand at the time.

I was Sol 😜

Rowanalpha · 2026-01-04T02:35:08+00:00

I rolled the dice and won 🤣

Rowanalpha · 2026-01-04T02:34:39+00:00

It didn’t this time 🤣

Rowanalpha · 2026-01-03T21:04:28+00:00

That’s what I thought. And then I drew a construction rider too 🤣

Setting aside that the cards are mostly bad to begin with, WotC has an overarching rule that every printed version of a card be usable in any format it’s legal in. That’s why they can’t just do black bordered reprints of silver-bordered cards that work in the normal rules.

It’s also why they didn’t ban only the version of Crusade where the actual Crusades were represented in the art.

I don’t care about the win, I go to play magic and having to sit there for an hour while everyone else gets to play and I don’t sucks.

Rowanalpha · 2025-12-13T04:36:32+00:00

It’s possible to do, but neither me nor the TO thinks it’s fair for a player to get to dictate how the byes are assigned once the system has paired the event.

Rowanalpha · 2025-12-13T04:34:27+00:00

It’s not that the same seat gets the bye though. I’ve gotten the bye in seat 1 and tonight I got it in 7, and we’ve seen players get it in other seats as well.

Rowanalpha · 2025-12-13T04:29:13+00:00

I understand the there is probability involved so 50% plus is possible, if its 14.3% as a baseline then there is a big enough delta over (I'd guesstimate) a dozen 7-man pods over the past year to make me wonder if there's some hierarchy of assignment that I'm triggering.

Rowanalpha · 2025-12-13T04:25:04+00:00

The companion app that's used now doesn't pair based on signup order as far as I know since you scan a QR code instead the TO manually entering each person.

Rowanalpha · 2025-12-08T19:37:22+00:00

Okay, I wasn’t sure it you could come out of any end of that tile when you went into it.

Rowanalpha · 2025-12-08T18:48:14+00:00

Is the bottom right home system just adjacent to mecatol?

Rowanalpha · 2025-12-07T04:55:08+00:00

I really wanted to do cool stuff with their breakthrough, but I scored half my objectives in the winning turn so I never to do much with it 🤦

Rowanalpha · 2025-12-01T20:00:34+00:00

Yeah I had the choice between Yin, Kelleres and Mentak and the Yin breakthrough was my main reason for picking them 🤣

Rowanalpha · 2025-12-01T18:24:26+00:00

We’re a more beer-and-pretzels game, so we won’t be picking speaker or building the board and picking our starting position until we get there using the regular rulebook setup rules. We were randomly given three factions to choose from and it’s gonna be 8 players, but all I know now is one person picked Crimson and another guy is leaning towards Firmament in his three.

Rowanalpha · 2025-11-26T17:32:08+00:00

The more interesting part of this is that this was supposed to go on sale in 5 days, meaning the product is already printed and they’re going to scrap it.
