Streamlined product line for completionists

Me and my partner decided we'd obtain the full collection twice (excluding the dragonlords set)

We're both "booster-opening enthusiasts". We've opened like close to 26 boxes but with that comes an extreme amount of ordinary/exceptional duplication, I believe people refer to these as "bulk" in these circles?

Maybe there should be products for people like us that are variance driven that contain less bulk and are inclined to be repeat customers.

The way this could work for example:

1st idea:

10 card booster with 3x ordinary, 3x exceptional, 3x elite or unique + 1 random rarity or a card of choice for rounding purposes, priced at a price of 1/12th of a box (as it represents the number of elites/uniques equivalent to it). This would already be a step to reduce the bulk significantly (in a representative 26 gothic/beta box example by about 4680 cards from 14.040 cards to 9.360 cards).

2nd Idea:

A rarity pack, like an elite/unique only pack , but the issue with this one specifically would be the pricing.

I'd appreciate no "just buy singles" comments, I'd rather support EC over an unpredictable and unstable market.

Do you sleeve all the cards in your deck with the same sleeves?

I'm.new and haven't played yet. I've got both the precon sets and was going to sleeve them. From what I understand a deck has 2 different piles you can draw from. Do most people sleeve them all the same, or use different sleeves for the 2?

Knight of the Common Good (custom card in the style I hope EC will print more of)

Had a discussion with another person around the prevalence of uniques in decks, and whether or not there should be a cap on the number of uniques a deck can have. Probably the route EC will go, however, is print more cards like Angry Mob that interact with rarity.

I thought it'd be neat with a spin on Earl of the Ivory Towers, that has protection against rare cards. It'll be interesting to see what EC does with rarity interaction in the next set.

Banger AL Box...2 Foil Uniques Incl Ring!

I was perfectly happy pulling a foil unique Merlin's Tower out of my $120 AL Box...but then a few packs later, BANG! My second foil Ring! (This one will be a birthday present for my younger son.) But lest you think I'm way too lucky, I have to admit to opening A LOT of AL boxes over the past two years.

New player question about precons

I'm thinking about getting both precon boxes (Beta and Gothic). My idea is to use them to learn the game and start my collection, but I have a couple of questions.

First, is that a good idea, or would it be better to just buy one of the boxes and spend the rest on boosters and singles? If so, which box would you recommend?

If buying both makes sense, can I use the cards from the Beta decks to upgrade the Gothic decks and turn them into complete, tournament-legal decks? I don't mean making them competitive, just building balanced 60-card, 30-Atlas decks that are fun to play and well matched against each other.

What's the advantage in using Families to gain threshold as opposed to sites?

They're more vulnerable to removal and harder to search out in a deck of 60. How best to use them?

Grand Contest Sorceryfest!

It was an honour judging my first official main event at the first European Grand Contest Sorceryfest. Huge thanks to the Trolls of the Realm Ron and Richard and of course Erik’s Curiosa for the opportunity! 🙏🏼

What a baptism it was judging two days of this first incredible event. The final was a thrilling match, huge congratulations to Geoffrey on winning it! And what an impressive play by runner up Kirran as well, wow!

One day to go: I’ll be playing the sealed tournament tomorrow. Hopefully getting some great pulls then and get some playtime in.

South FL Seeking Others

Semi new to the game. Only have about 15 games under my belt and looking for more people/community. I looked back in the sub and saw the place called Guildhall. I dropped by there on a designated Sorcery Thursday about 8pm and didn’t see a soul except riftbound players. Hung around for about 30min and no one showed. Is this still the place? Did I just catch an off night? Is there maybe a discord or something I should be in to be in the loop? Thanks in advance!

New Player

Hello all, I am a new player and I do not own any Sorcery product, but the game looks very interesting and fun, and I love the unique play and art.

That said, the Arthurian set is truly beautiful and what initially caught my attention. Is it possible to play casual home games by just purchasing Arthurian cards? Or is the first set full of staples that? I am planning on buying from each set, just want to know more about which set I should start with. Thanks!

Beating Control / Removal Decks

Hi there all,

I've been playing recently, and have been getting absolutely destroyed (like 20 to 0) against a persecutor control deck which focuses heavily on removing all of my important minions, and pinging me for small amounts of damage over time. Which strategies work well against this kind of play? For context, I'm currently playing a mortals deck focusing on pumping out high power foot soldiers, which hasn't managed to get off the ground really.

3 Avatar Questions

  1. Avatars are spell casters, but they are non-elemental by default?

2 If i cast Hand of Glory ( Bearer has +1 power and is a Fire Spellcaster.) into the hands any avatar, does that lock them into only being able to cast fire element spells going forward as the card dictates that they are now a fire spellcaster or does that not apply and they'd only get the +1

3.If next turn i cast Excalibur (Bearer has +1 power for each of their elements. If they have all four, they are also immune to damage.) Does the fire spellcaster imbue an element to the avatar to get the benefit of Excalibur?

Thanks

Bar pull for the holo Mephistopheles

Pulled my first holo from a random pack today while playing with some friends at the bar. Feels so good! Struggling to keep the pizza grease and beer off it until I get him home for a sleeve haha.

We Joined the Cult! Our first Sorcery game!

After a first few lovely chats on Reddit, and the kindest gesture of u/Worldly-Big8380 we wanted to share our round on The Grid! (I lie, it was the second game; although that holds a far less dramatic flair!)

We've enjoyed it a lot! It feels like a very fresh game; how it combines the TCG with Boardgame aspect. >! When both Avatar's reached Death's Door it truly felt like 2 Kings trying to Check Mate each other! !<

What better way to give back than to hopefully share that feeling of your first game? I hope you can find that watching this video. And if you don't mind, please do point out what rules we may have gotten wrong!

Much love!

Crack or not?

This is my favorite card and I am considering cracking the slab as i usually do not collect slabs and I want to use it! But would this be a bad decision? What’s your thoughts

Edit: The witch has been freed, the PCG label was made out of metal which I found pretty cool. Now my room is full of plastic shrapnel
