Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP137 - Post-release Homeworlds reaction
Q: But can it get prices for the cards? So you can know if you have an even trade?
Pontus says the app shows card information and premium users can see pricing in the app. He notes that comparing the values of cards in a proposed trade still needs to be implemented.
EP137 - Post-release Homeworlds reaction
Q: Is there anything mechanical-wise coming into the rules with Homeworlds that we need to think about?
Pontus explains a rules clarification for units that are temporarily taken under an opponent's control and then made leaders: the leader rule that would otherwise defeat them does not apply because they were not originally leaders.
EP112 - It’s (Tetra)reigning Jango in Eternals
Q: How did testing for Eternal differ from testing for Atlanta/Premier?
Testing for Eternal involved exploring new leadership options and deck lists, especially against meta staples like Jango and Gar, while also coordinating with teammates to compare Eternal vs Premier results. It required adapting strategies to a wider card pool and focusing on matchups that are unique to non-rotating formats.
EP112 - It’s (Tetra)reigning Jango in Eternals
Q: What would you say is like the main draw for you to play Eternal?
The main draw should just be the fact that no cards were banned or suspended at that time, so you get to play with all your favorite cards and explore powerful interactions that were previously unavailable. It also lets players experiment with long-standing decks and new card synergies without restrictions.
EP110 - Every Day, New Players!
Q: What do you think could improve the game going forward?
Continue evolving with double-aspect units and splash bases to broaden deck-building options and keep the meta from hardening into a single top deck.
