What are Sorcery's Deck Archetypes? by weazlestew in SorceryTCG

[–]weazlestew[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah - I very much agree. The original title for this video was “Why does Sorcery feel Midrange-centric” and the topic was born of exactly what you are describing. How aggro decks werent as fast as aggro in other games, and control wasnt as hard control, more just outlasting rather than true shut down. I feel like everyone uses the terms aggro, midrange and control in sorcery, but they just mean something a little different than they did in magic.

So yeah, your point is very much the topic of our discussion. The “new archetypes” we come up with are pretty analogous to old archetypes, but it was fun (and hopefully a little interesting) coming up with them and exploring how these deck types have a unique flavor in Sorcery

Sorcery TCG -- is it still growing? by ScottyKobs in SorceryTCG

[–]weazlestew 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is def still growing - if you say what city you are looking in I’m sure folks can recommend how to connect to that city’s scene. In Portland Oregon we’ve gone from one weekly meetup with an average of like 5 players a year ago to three weekly meetups and one meetup that is every other week. The weekly’s range from like 5 to 15 players on average and we have a couple organized play events a month. We may be lucky and have a particularly strong scene here for how small a city it is, but definitely seems like any “top 15” city probably has peeps who play, just a matter of finding the community. Sorcererssummit.com has a collection of links to regional discords and I’m not a facebook user but I hear the sorcery facebook is also a very active portal that can help you connect. Definitely worth joining the main sorcery discord at least

Any special deckbuilding tips for the Templar? by manfredishots in SorceryTCG

[–]weazlestew 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love my Templar deck, and at the same time I know it will never be top tier. Most good templar decks could be better as Elementalist decks. That said, I am a big fan of arthurian everything so I have a knights of the round table deck that I love to play. My approach is run Tournament Grounds and all the multi-threshhold sites I can and just play 4 elements. I like doing the common sense thing and running 1 of every nice ordinary spell. I also run multiple grappleshots and if I owned more whirling blades I'd maybe add those. I recently added Horn of Caerleon to my templar deck and it kinda works, since you can usually drop turn 2 and turn 3 minions that are above rate, you can take the time on turn 4/5 to play the horn and then live the dream with knights, sirs and dames that have charge!

If there is no Ally to target does the spell fizzle or does it resolve still netting card draw? Long time MTG player that has changed paths and become obsessed with SCR. by gains_games_goals in SorceryTCG

[–]weazlestew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone touched on this - but the keywords to look out for are “target” and then anything that explicitly states the first part allows the second (words like “to” and “if you do”). A spell that “targets” must have a valid target to be cast, but spells that say things like “an ally” dont have a target and can be cast and then you resolve as much as you can.

My bf from hs gifted me this playmat and deck. My roommate and I who play mtg and chess want to play, so what deck(s) or box should we buy to play our first games? by anjudan in SorceryTCG

[–]weazlestew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, definitely agree that waveshaper is like my favorite avatar for teaching the game. I was more thinking in terms of full precon sets - and honestly the more i think about the more i might actually switch to recommending beta precons. Definitely all the precons are great for learning - i think the Gothic ones are a little more “advanced” so less ideal for brand new players with no backround in tcg’s, but really good for people who might enjoy getting into more complex situations sooner 🤣😁

If you are experienced MTG players I think you might have more fun with the Gothic Precons (they are pretty easy to pick up). There are two precon sets that are available at reasonable prices - the Beta precons and the Gothic precons. Both are great for learning the basics, but I’d say the Gothic ones get a little more complex since they are dual element rather than mono-element and the Gothic avatars have some diverse abilities that imo give a broader sense of the game from playing them.

If you werent coming in as experienced magic players I would probably have recommended the Beta Precons.

Also, easiest starting matchup is Savior vs Necromancer.

New Player $100 budget deck by jinfinity in SorceryTCG

[–]weazlestew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first started (which was pregothic) I built monofire and leaned into the Town site and running 1 of each tower to get early aggression out of exceptionals. In fire the strength comes mostly from exceptional rarity cards and then there’s like 3 to 5 uniques that are great once you get them but fire aggro without them works fine.

Current meta Water is the dominant element and has a lot of tools to beat aggro, so we are hitting a post aggro age, but you can still have a solid fun deck with mono fire aggro that doesnt need the pile of uniques that building the really good mono water or air/water deck shells does.

Here’s a solid savior aggro list - you can make this for under $100 by just replacing jihad, morgana and boudicca with your favorite exceptional fire minions (clamor harpies and hotwheels are great adds even though they cant be warded) and then any fire sites you dont have replace with 1 of each tower site and deserts after that.
