*This is a bonus episode of the weekly Pod of Greed podcast! We're going to start publishing these for everyone about a month after they air for members-only! Of course, we still would appreciate it if you become a channel member to support the podcast!* 😄
Hey everyone! Some potentially names for extra pod segment, all based on card names. Pod of EXTRAvagance Backup Squad Pod of Charity Pod of the Forbidden one (or two for Paul and Alec) Also could just be The Extra Deck or Chain Link 2.
Oh cute, making these membership first is a nice thing, I can't afford to throw money out at the moment but am happy to wait to enjoy the content eventually
Loved the extra episode! Hearing your guys stories about past duels or matches that were memorable for you for whatever reason was super cool, I'd love to hear more about experiences like that, or about yalls experience trying other card games you don't play anymore.
Sounds like Alec needs to give Keyforge a shot! The best sealed card game experience available in my opinion. You pay $15, you get a complete 36 cards deck with a unique name and combination of cards that no other deck has. Then you throw down with a friend. Low stakes, no feels bad losses.
there's a really interesting quote, I forgot who its from, but it goes something like "players will optimise the fun out of their own game", and I think that is just so fitting here.
Thoughts: I. Love. This! Immediately worth the membership. As someone who is less than a filthy casual, I do only care about having fun and putting cards on table. So, I really appreciate the back-and-forth and perspectives of this additional conversation. That said, I do and don't relate to the extent that I don't care about losing as long as I "get to do the thing"...but also don't care about winning if either my opponent or I don't "get to do the thing".
That's why I love Vanguard (premium format). If you lose it, don't feel unfair, and you can see why you lost, and winning doesn't feel bad either, some times.
Great first ep, always enjoy the discussion! It could be cool to bring guests on occasion, especially if they have a unique perspective on TCGs like an artist, creator, etc for variety
I love that point you guys brought up. The more thought and effort you put into the game, the more frustrating it can be to lose a game, especially if you feel like you played near perfectly and still lost.
I wasn't expecting the bonus eps to be this long. If I wasn't as broke as a dad joke, I'd be a member, lol. Not sure if you've nailed down a name for these eps but I have an idea: Expansion Pack!
Love the idea to post past bonus coverage. My vote is for ‘Pod of EXTRAvagance’. Bonus content idea: TCG product shout out. Something personal you guys use daily or has changed your collecting experience.
I notice that a lot with the group of people i play casual yugioh with is that decks you have more investment in definitely feel devastating to lose with, especially given how the game of Yugioh is that just creates so many non games where one player just blew the other out of the water without a fighting chance. Even in lower level play it creates some situations where you both pull out a deck but one of them just hard counters the other and you can't really have a game with them. Definitely the most fun games we've been having lately is playing with our draft box of cards where we just deal out so many cards and have to build a deck out of only them. Like Alec said it's a lot easier to be chill about the game when things like the card pool are out of your control and you just have to go with what you have.
Card shop stories would be a really cool segment. Between any stories anyone on team APS may have or viewer submitted stories I think it’d be fun to include 1 or 2 per episode
"[. . . .] The moment you build a deck with the intention of winning you have consigned yourself to a much deeper hole to reach fun [. . . .]." Profound philosophical statement.👌🤔
I noticed myself getting too salty lately. There’s a lot of fighting games video about how not to be salty and I they had some really good advice! Find the source of your salt! Play to win but also remember to play to learn. Unless you’re the best in the world there is a ton to learn!
Definitely can relate to Alec feeling disillusioned and frustrated when his favorite deck got nerfed and was never able to regain it's competitive relevance. I played Blackwings for several years, from the peak of its popularity to a few years after it had been made irrelevant in the meta by Xyz decks like Dragon Rulers. I remember going to a few "casual" tournaments, getting my ass kicked in a few turns and never going back.
What seems to be the case in most card games: It's a lot more fun to play with your friends because you can more easily set expectations. I've played Magic for 10+ years and I have always HATED playing at LGSs.
Regarding digimon I play a nice mixed deck of belphemon leviamon and I really enjoy its playstyle against most match ups. Just a crazy duo boss monsters that can go toe to toe against any other boss monster 😎
Fun definitely can be had in card even if both players are playing high-end decks. But it requires both players to be good sports. And a close game where anyone could of one or a back and forth also learning new applications for certain card helps
GOAT/schoolyard format could be brutal too. I remember being miserable playing against that kid with freaking 1900atk monsters, with raigeki to boot. Even good cards like Harpies Brother had to be played in defense mode. Completely out-tempod, and drawing/playing 1 card at a time
I tried starting a casual YGO night at a game store because the other stores around my area have meta-level locals and nothing else. Bad turnout so far though unfortunately (single digits).
Pod of Generosity 4sure Also as a pot question, curious what you guys think of altering the starting hand size to make going 2nd better. Like first draws 4 and 2nd 5 or even maybe 6 still
my friend and I play advanced format but lower tier decks (blue eyes v gate guardian) and its super fun until we have to look up a ruiling its very tedious idc most of the time and i try to go by what the cards say
I think I am just done with TCG's in general, especially Yugioh. Power creep is too intense and you just have to keep updating the deck with the current meta staples. As for collecting, the Bonanza QCSR buy outs where people just buy everything out and then just not list them back put me off. I'm just gonna spend money on something else lol.
Sorry to be the narc here but I'm not a member and it showed this in my feed. Yall might wanna check that. Backed out before it got started. Ill check it if I join later.
It's funny there was a European Yugioh player who was being interviewed and the question he got asked was "What was the number 1 reason why you didn't top today's event?" And his answer was short but so true......... he answered "I couldn't draw the card." I love this answer because a lot of the time that's what it comes down to, playing 3 copies of a card and not being able to draw it, or even worse, siding in 6+ cards and not seeing any of them. It can be very frustrating, I mean what is the point of maxing out on a card or using a side deck if you can't get to see them *{::>_

Hype hype.
if the normal podcast is named after pot of greed, and this one has to be paid for, you could call it grateful charity or something along those lines.
Hey everyone! Some potentially names for extra pod segment, all based on card names.
Pod of EXTRAvagance
Backup Squad
Pod of Charity
Pod of the Forbidden one (or two for Paul and Alec)
Also could just be The Extra Deck or Chain Link 2.
Pod of Extravagance is cute!
I was thinking maybe Turn 2 or Draw Phase or somethin since they always say pass turn after the pod
@@laurenperrin705 ohh I like Draw phase. That's clever!
@@Basic_Nerd Ah man, Draw Phase is awesome, BUT they should name each segment after a phase.

Not worth it imo

Trying to find a few!

What if the segment was named Pod Of Extravagance? Another interesting one might be calling it The Greed Feed
That was some card games real talk! Love it 😂
Looking forward to those juicy Master Duel stories

Can the smaller segment be called Jar of Greed? Since it's a shorter/smaller segment than the typical Pod (t)
Petition to start a tier to buy Alec a sidetable to tap his fingers on instead of the table the mics are on
Long tome ago. Had a card shop owner said to me. "Bro you have more fun losing in vanguard then you are winning in magic"
I wonder why
The best answer for a name for this has got to be: {DRAW 2} ❤ keep on keeping on guys, I'll keep watching!
"[. . . .] The moment you build a deck with the intention of winning you have consigned yourself to a much deeper hole to reach fun [. . . .]."
Profound philosophical statement.👌🤔
The Maxx C Discussion
The Reckless Greed
The Extra Deck Files
The Chain Reaction
I noticed myself getting too salty lately. There’s a lot of fighting games video about how not to be salty and I they had some really good advice! Find the source of your salt! Play to win but also remember to play to learn. Unless you’re the best in the world there is a ton to learn!
sic episode. Enjoyed the more in depth dive about your experience with tcgs
first time I got hit with that blue eyes quick spell I was like oh damn lmao
Definitely can relate to Alec feeling disillusioned and frustrated when his favorite deck got nerfed and was never able to regain it's competitive relevance. I played Blackwings for several years, from the peak of its popularity to a few years after it had been made irrelevant in the meta by Xyz decks like Dragon Rulers.

Extra segment should be called the side deck
Regarding digimon I play a nice mixed deck of belphemon leviamon and I really enjoy its playstyle against most match ups. Just a crazy duo boss monsters that can go toe to toe against any other boss monster 😎
I thought I hacked the system by being able to watch this, lol
Fun definitely can be had in card even if both players are playing high-end decks. But it requires both players to be good sports. And a close game where anyone could of one or a back and forth also learning new applications for certain card helps
I love rage with the blue eyes of blue. I used to torrential tribute then just otk. Felt like kaiba lol
GOAT/schoolyard format could be brutal too. I remember being miserable playing against that kid with freaking 1900atk monsters, with raigeki to boot. Even good cards like Harpies Brother had to be played in defense mode. Completely out-tempod, and drawing/playing 1 card at a time
If names for the show are still up in the air why not "standby phase" or "end phase"
Extra pull sounds like a good name
The Extra Pull
All thre--seven of us, y'all.
I tried starting a casual YGO night at a game store because the other stores around my area have meta-level locals and nothing else. Bad turnout so far though unfortunately (single digits).
great episode i enjoyed hearing some stories and how guys feel about things keep it up
Pod of Generosity 4sure
Also as a pot question, curious what you guys think of altering the starting hand size to make going 2nd better. Like first draws 4 and 2nd 5 or even maybe 6 still
I think speed duel can be fun in yugioh if you use the pre made decks with friends
loved your convo! it got deep 🧐
i’m in elo hell with voiceless i NEED that video lmaoooo i hate stun
This could be called the Draw 2 Segment lol
Is there a way to contact you guys for a conversation and hopefully some advice?
Call this section ‘second draw’ or ‘2nd draw’ guys
Pod of Extravagance
love the Neo Zeon hat, Paul

Yep! We're releasing these older ones
I'm not a member and watched this! Mouhahahaha 😁

I think I am just done with TCG's in general, especially Yugioh. Power creep is too intense and you just have to keep updating the deck with the current meta staples. As for collecting, the Bonanza QCSR buy outs where people just buy everything out and then just not list them back put me off. I'm just gonna spend money on something else lol.
What about the supply squaaaaaaaad as the new name
