How to get the most out of Altered with a limited card pool?
Hi,
I played a little bit of Altered when it came out on BGA. I bought a couple of starter decks and played a bunch of games with them, but I haven't really touched the game since.
With the current state of the game, I found booster boxes for cheap (€25 each) at my LGS, so I bought one of each set they had.
I now have a booster box of each of these sets:
-Beyond the Gates
-Trial by Frost
-Skybound Odyssey
And two starter decks:
-Yzmir
-Lyra
What would be the best way to play with these?
I play a lot of MTG and some OP/Lorcana/Yugioh/etc. with a friend. We love TCGs and always enjoy discovering new ones.
Our favorite format is MTG Cube, but we also like some Constructed. For OP, Lorcana, Yugioh, FAB and SWU, we bought some starter decks, played with them and upgraded them quite a lot to have a bit more going on. We have 6–8 decks for each game and, since they aren't our main games, we usually play one of them once a week just to change things up from MTG.
We like it that way, but I wonder if that would be the best way to enjoy Altered.
I imagine that with 3 booster boxes and 2 starter decks, we could build 6–8 decks and play it that way. But would we have a decent power level, or would we be missing too many staples/duplicates?
I'm also not sure we could draft with only 2 players.
What would you do with what I have to get the most enjoyment out of some Altered gameplay?
I probably should have asked this before buying everything, but my brain goes crazy when talking about TCGs, so I bought first and started thinking afterwards.
Thanks!
