A buddy and I played our first-ever games of Sorcery today. We had a situation come up we couldn't figure out how to handle:

My Necromancer Avatar was at death's door but I had 6 Skeleton tokens at the same location. My opponent kept trying to deal that 1 last damage to my Avatar to win and I kept blocking the attack with 1 Skelelton token and then generating another one (the Necromancer's ability). We felt like we were caught in an infinite loop. What were we doing wrong?

I have never played POE and am looking to start with some online lore content before trying the game.

Curious to know what are some of the most fun and interesting references across

Worth a listen given the many threads this week - especially you u/ToughAd7895

A few weeks ago, EC changed the set numbering used in its API slugs and image files. Suddenly, every spreadsheet, bot and database keyed on strings like 004-witch-b-s quietly caught fire.

Those slugs look like identifiers, but they’re assembled from mutable data: set number, card name, product and finish. Any of those can change, and now that I’m deeper into building my own tools, I don’t want to go through this again.

Yu-Gi-Oh has Konami passcodes. Magic has Scryfall IDs. So today I bring you:

Sorcery Registry
https://github.com/sadkinglabs/sorcery-registry

Every gameplay card receives a permanent codex_id, shared across all its reprints, our equivalent of an oracle ID. Every physical printing receives its own permanent printing_id.

The IDs never move or get reused. The database refuses attempts to change or delete them, and CI checks every update against the previous registry. Slugs, names and set numbers become what they should always have been: mutable attributes, not identities.

From now on, when a slug changes, if it ever does, its old value remains resolvable through slug_history. Ambiguous upstream changes are held for human review rather than guessed at.

The whole published registry is one deterministic JSON file on GitHub:

• No hosted service to disappear
• No prices or marketplace dependencies
• Official public API data, plus a small, transparent corrections file
• A documented schema and SHA-256 checksum
• A local MCP server so Claude, Cursor and other compatible tools can query it

The registry has little purpose sitting alone in its repository. Its value comes from people building on the IDs.

Use it. If you maintain a tool, bot, spreadsheet, collection manager or pricing tracker, key your records on these IDs. The next slug rename should become an ordinary metadata update, not a migration emergency.

Challenge it. Look through the data, query it and try to find mistakes or dangerous assumptions. If something is missing for your use case, open an issue and tell me.

Help maintain it. Corrections are accepted through pull requests, with the evidence and reason retained publicly. New-set syncs also land as reviewable PRs. More eyes on those changes means more confidence in the registry.

I made this for the community, but I can’t credibly maintain a community identity standard forever by myself. If you think the idea is worth pursuing, please get involved, even if that just means trying it, opening an issue, reviewing a sync or starring the repository to show there is interest.

And if, over time, trusted community members want to help maintain it directly, I would genuinely love for this to become shared infrastructure rather than one person’s project.

Link for more pictures if interested let me know,
Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I pulled a Lilith foil from a booster pack. Some friends told me it's worth around $200, but when I checked TCGPlayer and eBay, I couldn't find any listings below ~$800.

I'm having trouble figuring out the card's actual market value. Are current listings artificially inflated because of low supply, or is the card genuinely worth that much?

Would you sell it now, hold onto it, or accept a $200 offer?

My playgroup is dying, and I can’t help but think it’s directly related to the lack of release information on the next set/product. I called it when they announced the precon that we were not getting a set this year. I was holding out for ALL new cards in it. But of course, FMvsLM will have reprints. Players are not showing up for casual play. Even prize support events are drawing in fewer players. Anyone else experiencing this or have thoughts on the current situation related to the lack of transparency? Is your playgroup weaning?

Hi I just lost my third match in a row against the same guy with chaos twister. Can I get some slander about that card in here to make me feel better? The sillier the better.

Whats up Avatars?! Join me for an interview with the creator of Sorcery TCG, Erik Olofsson. Get behind the Sorcery as we discuss the post Gothic art direction and game design for Sorcery: Contested Realm, and some future directions for the game! You won't want to miss this awesome discussion!

Thanks so much for the opportunity to speak with you again Erik!

I hope you all enjoy the discussion!
