Play Multiplayer! 👫 Fleeting Thoughts: An Altered TCG Podcast Episode 22

[@zarfling]

Great video! Please make another that goes into more detail about deck building rules and build options for 2v2 and Free for All.

I just realized I never finished watching this video! 🫠 Thanks for the shoutout! 🫡 Can't wait for our local 2v2 event!

Yep there was a mailbag question - see Episode 21 for my question ....

We've just tested a way to make atsadi work ! 2v2 ! With a muna ramp help ! Magical !! Aja, mana reaping on a small card, daughters if yggdrasil, kitsune for drawing cards. And we even anchored kaibara with Parvati!

This was a very enjoyable episode! 2v2 sounds like it'd be really fun to try! Hoping to get enough people at our locals to try a 2v2 though 😅

#mailbag My personal thought about the best side event! It would be locations with effects. These could be implemented in a few ways, but simply put a random effects deck that is shuffled and revealed when an expedition is revealed. The effects could be when revealed this side of the expedition is put to sleep and characters played here next turn will come in asleep. Another example would be this expedition will only count the highest stat of a character and all others become zero for scoring. If tied, the player picks which stat is counted. You could also have expeditions that are unbalanced like 2 zones of only water, or have 1 zone changed to be all 3 just like the starting zones. If this side events is real what effects would you like to see? Complex way to implement it would be like AEG's slot in upgrades for mystic vale or custom heroes

Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Another super combo team was muna, with anchored and boosted characters, and an afanas deck. The afanas deck could win with lots of rare muna cards, control, with yzmir cards, or just help the muna player. Very strong !

I tested the 2 v 2 with Lyra festival in both decks. One muna deck and one Lyra deck. It was unstoppable! The first one to have Lyra festival would play it, and the other would support. And if it was taken care of, the other would take over and play their own Lyra festival. And most of the time we had 2 in game, and it was impossible for the other team to focus on stopping us AND winning expéditions.

[@MaindeckGames]

Definitely my concern haha, we might implement an in-store ban on Festival for our constructed 2v2...

[@thekarifur]

Before even watching this video, I already agree 100%. Perhaps I'm biased because I am partial to 2v2 multi-player in Magic as well, but 2v2 in Altered is SO fun!!

[@Azlodin]

Same can be said for Muna ramp or Token generation for Ordis and Axiom. The "Target" keyword is really strong in multiplayer ( FA and 2 v 2). I feel constructed 2 v 2 might require too much balancing to keep the enjoyment where the Drafting mode for Multiplayer is where I would like to see events come into fruition.

Hey Dan and Jordan, thanks for the effort you guys put into the podcast! Here is my #MailBag question - what do you guys think of the recent Robin Hood errata? Do you think their decision to change the card text (rather than remove the bureaucrat tag) was the best option? Thanks so much!!
