      Just got 3 starter decks and a Ashes booster box to start, looks awesome. I wanted to get a resolution booster box but they have really gone up in price. I will have to see what all things I can find at Gen Con.

    Bought a starter and 2 boxes last summer but nobody around me had it and so I had no where to play. I think it’s starting to pop up in my part of Ontario so really hoping I can get into it. Thanks for this video! Very helpful!

    Super cool game, crazy hard to get in Canada if you don’t live in Southern Ontario. None of the local stores can source it from regular distributors and it doesn’t have enough buzz to get them to bring in stock or get table space for it, at least not around here. Wish it was easier to source so stores might take a chance on it. Not sure the Re:Collection decks are the product I’d recommend as the starter product, since they are also essentially sold out everywhere. Cool product, but hard to find and too powerful matched up against one of the other starter decks.

    • @RedZoneRogue

      The Silvie ReCollection deck is still $65 on TCGPlayer and they both subject to reprints! Hopefully folks watching this a few months down the line will be able to pick them up for msrp due to them being reprinted

      Should note, alot of people bought Cases of these and opened them looking for the signature cards. They are selling the starters at or below msrp minus the extra packs that held those. Great way to get the decks, buy the ones they are trying to sell and recoup some loss.

My deck I want to build is a Nico, Whiplash Allure with wind element added I feel it will add defense, control, and removal plus she adds a nice way to play dmg or mill either way you will have to answer her fast let me know what you think please and thanks guys I am new to this great game and will take any and all ideas to become a more better player ^^!

    What do you think is the best starter deck for a new player?
    I have been playing MtG for almost 20 years but I would like to try something new.
    I'm not afraid of complexity, but I don't want to spend too much money right off the bat for upgrades (i.e. something that can win a few games without 4x Dungeon Guide plz 😅)

    • @RedZoneRogue
      @RedZoneRogue  5 місяців тому

      The two ReCollection decks are wonderful for new players! They're also quite strong right out of the box! If you'd like to play a Top Tier Deck without Dungeon Guides you can always try for Fire Assassin as they only level up to level 1 and just go full aggro

      It's the biggest downside of indie tcgs. Fortunately the community for this game is great and there's a bunch of online playgroups - for example there's a weekly group that plays every Friday in the Rogue's Gallery community Discord. I know there's folks playing all the time on the official GA Discord as well

      What do you mean? Multiple decks, champs and elements have been viable and have seen tournament success. Fire Merlin won Worlds but Wind just won the latest Ascent

    • @deucewildegaming
      @deucewildegaming 6 місяців тому +3

      @RedZoneRogue when it first launched Wind, was much stronger than the other 2 elements. Then, the first expansion buffed it further. It's probably made progress since then, but I wrote it off after that rough start.
      I didn't pledge tons of money or have a sponsorship that kept me tied down to it.

      @@deucewildegaming my YT comments be glitching out, apologies if this is a double reply. I would say Fire and Wind were about 50/50 in the games early history. If you look up the results of Ascent Houston, you'll see top 8 split right down the middle 50/50 wind and fire and top 32 was slightly more fire than wind (with a splash of water). As more sets have come out, more and more champions and deck archetypes have been meta relevant.
