Thanks for another nice episode ❤. About your cost distribution in limited, I try to maintain a rough division of 1/3rd 1-2 drops, 1/3rd 3 drops, and 1/3rd 4+ drops. Depending on the faction, hero and your pulls you can tweak how many spells/permanents you want to include (I try about 7-8 in most cases). In draft this will be a lot harder, but for sealed this works really well :)

Great guidelines for numbers! That about matches where I tend to land but I didn't have a nice recipe heuristic like that. Thanks for sharing it!

FYI for everybody- They have actually changed the multiplayer rules which no longer include the square “tumult” cards and just use the normal path cards at an angle. The updated rules are on their website now.

Great episode guys! Cleared up a lot of the questions I had when I was looking at the updated rules.

Glad you guys have been able to get games in! Here in the SF Bay Area there isn't a single LGS stores supporting Altered at this time. Plus, we primarily play another TCG so Altered getting table time is going to be difficult for us.

There were multiple roadshows in the Bay area, can't believe not a single store will support it

Jordan! Missed that guy at Gen Con. Super hyped now its near release. Just cracked my KS packs, and waiting on some other retailer level packs to arrive. I think I'm rocking Ordis Bureaucrat for the moment until I find something else that feels good.

Hi, Dan. With the influx of so many new tcgs could you tell me what is your favorite top 5 right now?

I, personally, prefer best of 3 because even the best constructed decks in any card game have an element of luck. So I think it helps with consistently having the better player/deck move forward.

Have to say I am not thrilled with their 2v2 multiplayer rules. Each player having their own set of hero and companion tokens on essentially separate paths from their ally and only one of them having to make it to each other messes with balance. While this is a positive in the sense of letting multiplayer decks have different strategies (your deck does not have to be able to make progress but only limit your opponents), it does mean that in future card design you have to be limit design space to be wary of this whole different playstyle. The other place I see issue is only being the first player 1 out of 4 turns and cards that are balanced around expecting it to be 1 out of 2. Kojo and Booda suffers in this format as an example. I also believe you feel less like a team and more just like to games running side by side. I would prefer that you instead build a tumult track with six cards, specifically a set of three randomized and then another set of three randomized, between a hero and companion zone. Still sit across from your teammate and have one opponent you are competing with for Hero and one for Companion. A whole team has the first player token and play a shared turn, as many quick actions as they want followed by one played card from each player. At dusk compare all expeditions with the appropriate opponent moving a single set of hero and companion markers for your team. This does mean you can make up to 4 progress in a single turn winning all expeditions, but you are also needing almost twice the progress (you need 13 instead of the 7 needed in 1v1.)
