Con un gruppo di amici, stiamo testando un sorcery realmente competitivo. Con alcuni ban per incompatibilità e alcune reword semplici, abbiamo completamente eliminato la griglia. La lettura è migliorata di 10 volte, letteralmente, il movimento non esiste più e gli atlas sono gestiti su una sola riga e si usano solo le abilità di mana, di soglia e le abilità etb.

La partita dura circa 25 minuti, trade minion come hearthstone. Se giochi i minion già tappati, contano come "taunt". Mazzo di 60 carte compreso avatar a parte, da dividere a scelta tra mazzo e atlas.

Alla fine circa il 80% delle carte è giocabilissimo.

What should I get please?

I've found Sorcery: Contested Realm - Preconstructed Box

And also Sorcery: Contested Realm - Gothic Prophets of Doom Preconstructed Box (4 Decks)

Which of these is the best option for starting? The contested realm box is significantly cheaper and I've not played it before.

Thank you!

No concrete basis and mainly gut feeling. That being said Eric did mention there will eventually be a revised. And given we have not seen any spoiler of set makes me think there likely won’t be a complete new set.

I also think there will be reprints for some staples with or without new art.

I also believe we will see more new online creators promoting Sorcery, one of which will be Prof from TCC

Let’s see if I get anything right! What’s your prediction?

As a new collector coming into the game and seeing it all with a fresh pair of eyes, I was wondering what others were thinking? It seems like there’s like no product anywhere, and your LGS can’t even order anymore. I feel like it’s 50/50 that people want MORE product and others want to leave it as is as they don’t want price crashes like AL.

Also there’s like zero advertising for this game. Community members I’ve talked to says this is by design and that EC wants this as a boutique kind of game. If that’s true… I feel like that’s not smart. You should want people to know about your game, not be some secret.

I’ve even reached out to EC about how to hook up my LGS with product, event kits, anything, and no response.

I would even be willing to do more coverage on it on my channel (shameless plug Surgical Ninja).

What are other complaints you guys have about the game?

I've played a few TCGs but Sorcery peaked my interest. The LGS I booked for, isn't anywhere near me. Just assuming it's the basics? 6 & 20 diced, pen and paper, etc?

Like many folks I’m coming from MTG. I’m finding it frustrating to keep up with 7 sets a year and a lot of the UB don’t appeal to me. I enjoyed magic for the mythical lore and storytelling. I don’t find it interesting to play with superheroes, ninja turtles or Star Trek characters.

Sorcery on paper reminds me a lot of Grim Dawn with the art and style.

The issue I have is usually when I get into a hobby, I really get into it. I’ve already been looking at an alpha box to buy from a collector standpoint and a case of beta to crack and play.

However I don’t know where/who I would play with. No LGS near me Carrie’s product or hold events for Sorcery (North Jersey). My friend group that I used to be big into magic with now lives in other states, so I’m mostly on Arena.

My MTG collection is pretty massive and I could keep it or sell to fund other adventures so cost of collecting isn’t my concern, but finding people to play with is.

How do other folks manage? I assume most had a friend group that all got into sorcery together and play as a pod/group?

I was wondering if this game offers some sort of authenticity veryfing factor for it's cards. I'm here using the word proxies in a wrong meaning maybe? Counterfeit would be more accurate?

I'm all in for proxies on a gameplay level, but on a collector level I tend to think the opposite.

I could not find official info on this, does the cards have any layer of proof against proxies(counterfeit)?

Thanks for the infos.

Hey guys, one of my friends recently got me into Sorcery and I love the game. I come from playing all kinds of TCGs but mostly Magic and Yugioh. The effect text on basically all Sorcery cards is easiest enough to understand if you take them at face value, but they read like early era Yugioh cards where everything has an invisible (it works) at the end of it. Yugioh eventually had to update how they format effect text so that interactions between cards was consistent and clear how it would resolve. Is there any designer talk from the team behind Sorcery that goes over why they word the effects the way they do? Are they worried they'll have to errata a bunch of text to have it make sense in the future?

Sorcery Fam! What is the crown jewel of your collection? Did you get it graded? Do you use it for play? IS IT FOIL????

Hi - very new to the game but have been stalking the subreddit for a while to try and understand what it’s all about.

Coming from MTG (played/collected since the 90s) and just grabbed my first box of Sorcery Beta. Love the art, the game looks fun, nice with a somewhat limited set of cards at the moment.

Cracked the box and sorted the haul. No really fancy pulls (as always with my level of luck), but the intention was always to build a core collection to start playing.

Now to the weird part. I can’t shake the feeling of the card distribution being very artificial. Why? I got:

- 3-5 (vast majority 4) of every Ordinary card. Not 6, not 7, not 2.
- Not a _single_ duplicate of an Exceptional, Elite or Unique card, with the exception of the few foils. Not. A. Single. One. This includes sites and avatars as well.

Since I had literally 0 Beta cards from before, great - I now have playsets of Ordinary cards and a variety of higher ”rarity”. But still - feels weirdly artificial.

Anyone else had a similar experience?
Will probably grab a second box (but that’s it) - curious to see if it has the same kind of distribution.

Coming from MtG, I have learned that a solid manabase is the basis of any multicolored deck.

How important are, for example, the beta exceptional dual lands to a stable multicolor manabase? Or are there even better lands?

Pretty new to the game (1,5 boosterbox of gothic deep so far, i have 1,5 more sealed) and would like to build some casual decks with that to teach my partner. And I want to make sure we avoid "colorscrew" feelbads as much a possible.

TLDR: Do I need to buy beta duals/other good manafixing lands for my multicolor decks to function properly?
