I am going through card collection with my son, and we are appreciating the art/name and references and equally the easter eggs.
There are lots of references I have picked and shared and I wonder how many more I am missing. Anyone finds this interesting too? curious to know what else is there that I missed
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!
ReUnion hosted their first large-scale competitive (i.e. world’s qualifying) event today. While I wasn’t able to participate, I did have the pleasure to watch via the stream (shoutout to Arg0n for the English cast - vod linked here).
It was very exciting to have another big event. The BGA tournament started out with 100 players. Faction breakdown/hero/etc. data will likely come out in the next few days, but from what I saw overall it was pretty diverse. This was setup as 4 groups in Swiss, then a 32 player top cut with single elimination, all under the new Frontier format (essentially standard with a curated, limited pool of uniques available to everyone).
Shoutout to the organizers, casters, and players that made the event possible today. Congrats to Luigi for taking first place on Kauri and Puff. And congrats to the ReUnion project for a successful event.
If you participated, what did you think?
Hello, is there a Discord dedicated to Spanish community or a Discord with a section for Spanish users ?
One of the things that stood out to me right away was how different Altered looks compared to most other card games. The artwork feels very distinct without trying to copy existing styles.
Is there something specific about the art that you enjoy, or even a favorite card that really shows off the game's style?
