Very clever that they got around copyright by not including any Minecraft themed art on any of the cards. It doesn’t take away from the HC TCG experience! Well done Beef!

I do believe you lucked out with that Foil TFC card. It wouldn't surprise me if that will become the most sought after card.

[@RamatiKat]

If you plan on keeping the foil TFC on display get yourself a touch case or at the very least a top loader in addition to the sleeve. They will help keep it safe and protected better than just a sleeve. (If using a toploader besure to orient the sleeve and toploader in different directions, sleeve upsidedown/toploader rightsideup.)

[@PhanuelMB]

Ooooo I will steal this info as well thank you very much.

[@ChiaZachary]

one can also consider double/triple sleeving before the toploader too, additional protection for the card, and double sleeving when done properly will confer protection against liquid spills

[@TWhi2834]

Look up Frameamajigs. Gives a nice Frame for any cards you want to put in it.

[@m1gr3nA]

@@ChiaZachary i'm not sure what size the cards are but some manufacturers offer (inner) sleeves that are sealable. they provide slightly better protection against water (including air humidity which might be important in case of foils), dust, and it's not possible for a card to slip out of it. i would recommend those for all cards and then get outer sleeves in addition for the ones in the deck being played. for shelf display you can get special frames (for example two pieces of plexiglass with bolts in the corners and a stand) but keep in mind that almost any colored ink will degrade in uv (colors will become bleached) so keeping cards exposed to direct sunlight is not a good idea. better hang them on a wall that sun does not directly shine on.

[@ChiaZachary]

@@m1gr3nA to be fair, while yes, sealable inners provide a bit of extra protection, the amount granted when double/triple sleeving not sufficient such that it is worth the extra hassle i feel. One can always refer to the Professor's (Tolarian Community College) sleeve reviews for what he recommends for sleeving and such for each layer (inner, outer, over)

Seeing the TFC cards gave me the feels, especially the rare.

[@Saturday_Jones]

The Elven Kiss looks just like a Peanut Butter Blossom. I’m not sure if they are common in the UK but a quick google search should connect the dots. It’s essentially a peanut butter cookie with a Hershey’s kiss chocolate on top

[@justcallmeness]

One year I made 35 dozen of those for a fundraiser. Haven't eaten them since, haha :)

Right! I think of those cookies too when I see the card.

[@Densema]

Yeah I too got my favourite Hermit, a signed holo Gem, I was literally screaming while unboxing this! Just too amazing!

[@riuphane]

Cool to see yours, my collector's edition card was a signed Scar, which I'm so happy about. I totally agree about the quality of all the components, really impressive and nice. Only regret for me was not buying 2 starter sets so i could play with others, but it was a collection thing to begin with

[@avaaasimar4730]

aaaaa seeing the irl cards makes me really wish i'd gotten some hermit packs back when the tcg was on sale. I'm not interested in playing the game all that much, but being able to display the cards and try pulling for my favourite hermits would have been so fun..! Oh well, I guess I'll just keep an eye out in the unlikely case there's ever a re-run

This is the first time I have ever sat and avidly watching a box opening video. I was excited and enjoying every moment. When TFC made his appearance my heart filled as well as my eyes. Amazing work to everyone involved. Love your face. :)

[@sammie3277]

1:20 I love how you explain how you all split up the watch duty for Hermitcraft. For some reason, I just assumed one person watched everyone's episodes. That would have been extremely difficult to doby now that I think about it. Especially when the season started or when all the hermits are really active and pumping out lots of episodes, lol. I also want to know who is the lucky one to watch DOCs movie length episodes 😂

[@Pixlriffs]

Zloy used to watch everyone and write the script on his own during Season 4, but by the time S5 began, we decided to split watching between both of us. It saved him a lot of effort, the script became collaborative, and meant I had a lot better context for some of the stuff I was reading in the voiceover!

[@Sock-Monster-Simian]

My box was pretty busted (especially my booster box, which I'll just have to get rid of, because it's half crushed), but the cards are all in perfect condition so I'm really grateful. The main game box just has a single crease, which is another blessing. When they talked about the shipping, I did get a little concerned. Sad it's not in perfect condition, especially the booster, but love it all the same. I didn't even consider possibly needing more than one set to play decently different games together ('cause I don't know anyone who watches Hermitcraft). Glad I got the booster. Didn't have more than 90 bucks to shell out for this game, so I didn't really have a choice anyway, if I did consider it.

[@pumpkin363]

tango card is looking absolutely incredible!!

[@zachwillett5853]

The Elven cookies remind me of a dessert my mother and I enjoy called peanut butter blossoms. It's a peanut butter cookie, but before the cookie is done baking, you pull the tray out and press a Hershey's kiss into the center. Obviously, Scar's cookies have that violet color, meaning it's something perhaps a bit more special than a drop of chocolate, but the correlation is still there.

[@emryspaperart]

yeah those are definitely the inspiration scar used for the elven cookies - i've only ever seen them in recipe books though and iced gems were my first association with the elven cookies too dfkgjdfg

[@baseballjustin5]

Maybe they used Purple Hershey Kisses?

The art for the Hermit cards are so great, and I really wish there was a place to look at them all properly. I tried Creo's website, to moderate success, but I'm not sure if I missed any. It was a little hard for me to navigate. I REALLY love Etho's 'he can't be Kakashi because copyright' design. I've recently learned that apparently Etho is some OG super megastar in the Minecraft community, but the dude really radiates 'Just Some Guy' energy, (in a positive, 'he's relaxing' way) so the more normal, weather appropriate looking jacket and turtleneck really brings that vibe, even with the 'fancy' heterochromia and stuff his design naturally still gets from being based on Kakashi. TFC's fancy whole card art is super captivating too! The regular, 'just a picture at the top' card for Cleo is also super amazing? Like, the expression on that one is just fantastic! Some other people are saying you, Zloy, and Lyarrah should play the game, and so like, add me as a +1 for people who would totally watch that.

[@Necroses]

So I play a lot of Magic the gathering and board games as well but not sure if anyone has mentioned this here yet but there is a product out there called frameijig I think but it allows you to load a top loader into a picture frame that you can hang on the wall just figured I would mention it great content long time fan guys great work keep it up
