Silvie Re:Collection, Slime Sovereign Overview & Guide | Grand Archive TCG 🧁✨

Thank you so much to Weebs of the Shore for giving me the opportunity of making this overview for Silvie Re:Collection, Slime Sovereign - a new product from my favorite trading card game Grand Archive!
Releasing May 17, 2024 alongside the new set Mercurial Heart.
Re:Collection is an awesome bundle that includes a pre-constructed deck and accessories so that you can start playing right out of the box. This deck is all about deploying Slime allies of every color and is loads of fun!

[@RedZoneRogue]

Excellent video Eva! Those slimes are both super cute and super strong 💪

[@EvaPlaysStuff]

Woooo really appreciate it Kel! Indeed super cute and super strong 🥺 Was great to meet you this weekend, sorry for my frazzled self as I was running around - I kept thinking I should've tried to get a proper introduction handshake with you but then it would've been awkwardly too late LOL Thanks for making time to check out the video in between all that you're doing! Killing it with the casting 🔥

[@soupermatic]

Amazing video! Editing and audio were so clean and smooth! And you did an excellent job breaking down this collection, making me all the more excited to get it! Got a new fan and subscriber out of me for sure! Keep it up Eva, you're awesome! :D

[@RickThatcher]

Fantastic video. I will be sending this to anyone interested in the Silvie re:collection deck :)

[@JeJeSway]

Best GA video I have ever seen. Would be very keen to see more videos like this.

[@skurai]

Eva makes the best GA videos!!! Great job!!

[@waterpixieva]

haha thanks skurai!!! 🙏

[@boeboe000]

First of all, this was an excellent walkthrough of the new deck! All these new slimes are super exciting. Second, the production quality on this video is insane! Love seeing videos with this much polish in the Grand Archive space!

[@EvaPlaysStuff]

Wooo thank you Taylor, big fan!

[@StackKing]

TOP QUALITY video right here. Awesome explainations of every question I had coming into this deck

[@YoinkAnimations]

This is such a good video and I'm SO HYPE FOR THIS AND THE TRISTAN SET TO COME OUT!!!

[@blind0wl123]

Silvie is the reason I got into the game super excited

[@Revelt_w]

Very high quality GA video. Both content and editing. Well done!

[@EvaPlaysStuff]

Really appreciate the compliment, super happy to hear you thought it was high quality. Thanks so much!! 🙏

You are amazing! Thanks for your great work!

[@Tronjheimr]

Whoat, this is brilliant. Your presentation is so clean. keep it up!

[@mstrikerwildrift]

Silvie going top tier with this one

[@Tressize]

This is the video I will be showing all friends who are interested in the game. This could almost be an official video be to advertise the prodcut. Amazing work Eva and keep me coming!

[@EvaPlaysStuff]

Yooooo that's a huge compliment, thanks a lot! ❤❤

[@leftstanding]

Didn't know this game existed, but the box was so cute I had to buy. This video is 10/10!!

[@EvaPlaysStuff]

Yesss the box is too cute! Hope you enjoy your foray into Grand Archive ❤️ and thanks so much!!

[@link4585]

Wow they actually just give you the rest of the playset?! Jfc that one thing put it over other precons of other games

[@EvaPlaysStuff]

lmfao Grand Archive treating us well 💅 thanks for watching!

[@skurai]

🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@xRising95]

Are there any other resources i can watch or read regarding Pride? I get how it works. I just dont understand how Tamers obtain high lvls without constantly losing your pets.

[@EvaPlaysStuff]

Oh man I wish I had answers for you... There's regalia like Beastbond Ears, Effigy of Gaia, and Discordia which help you gain levels but it often feels slow spending a materialize phase on that. I think this is a reason why Silvie players have historically struggled, but hopefully cards like Slime's Blessing (can give a level counter AND two buff counters at fast speed!) and any other tamer cards in MRC will turn the tides now! If I find any good resources for you, I'll circle back 🤞 And if any others who are more experienced playing Tamer can chime in would be appreciated!

[@kingokaze]

Since there are slimes in every color and advanced element does that mean that those slimes can be played by Silvie through special card effects or by their respective element users? Update: I just saw that effect on Silvie level three! They really overhauled Silvie with this recent update.

[@EvaPlaysStuff]

Yup, Silvie has some cool options now! Just to reiterate in case: the level 0 Spirit of Slime lets you play all the basic element slimes, then level 3 Slime Sovereign lets you play all the advanced element slimes. And even if you're not using either of those champions, those slimes can be played by their respective element users, yeah. 👌 Thanks for watching the video!

[@FiereZero]

This looks amazing, but each place I’ve tried to preorder(since they’ve been announced )says it’s a toss up if they’ll get this or not. Are more coming to the market once hearts is out or what?

[@EvaPlaysStuff]

Hello! They announced that they only manufactured 6,000 of each Re:Collection and will have the ability to print 6k more of each (because of the booster packs needing to be Mercurial Heart 1st edition). So yes since they already printed those packs ahead of time think it's safe to assume more will be coming! Hope you're able to get yours 🤞

[@FiereZero]

@@EvaPlaysStuff thank you just been so stressful trying to get it and been a hassle with even online retailers not answering if my preorder has been fulfilled. Hopefully both of my preorders were first round. It appears a ton of the og 6k got opened at worlds

[@EvaPlaysStuff]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@FiereZero The Worlds Re:Collection event was capped at 300 players if that helps? so probably ~150 Silvie boxes were opened. I agree that it seems like a smaller printrun than the demand, guessing they were just testing the waters with the new product which I feel was intended more for new players but turns out veterans are hella hyped for it too. But yeah good luck!!

[@FiereZero]

@@EvaPlaysStuff just got word from one of the places I preordered I was able to get it in just in time! Yay! So excited

[@EvaPlaysStuff]

@@FiereZero LFG!! enjoy!!

[@vulturenest1749]

This looks so fun but i don't have a locals to play, what do i do? Can i play online or through video.

[@EvaPlaysStuff]

There isn't an official GA app, but plenty of people do play via webcam or Tabletop Simulator! There's the official Grand Archive discord where ppl often are looking for games: discord.gg/SErEegTp Yeti Gaming I believe hosts a weekly webcam tournament on Thursdays and recently held an online Regional: discord.com/invite/XVwyAGXdeg True Champion Gaming were hosting online weeklies but I'm unsure if they're still doing those: discord.com/invite/8da6VqaRsp

[@vulturenest1749]

@EvaPlaysStuff Thank you, wholeheartedly 🙏

[@kirika119]

Is this TCG expensive to get into ? Also do you need your buy more than one of these to complete the set ?

[@Fome]

One box contains full playsets of every card in the deck, so you can freely customize

[@EvaPlaysStuff]

Yep what Fome said, you only need to buy one (unless you're trying to chase the collector's signature rare)! People generally say that GA is more affordable than the other big card games, but it also does depend on the deck. The low end for a good deck is prob like $60 USD? Others can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

[@kirika119]

@@Fome thank you

[@kirika119]

@@EvaPlaysStuff I play yugioh,magic,one piece, DIGIMON, etc and out of what I remember I wanted to get into the game when it first came out but a box was selling for 200$ and I’ve heard players say it was 150-200$ to make something fun but not meta; I didn’t ask how much meta was and I definitely don’t know how much the game costs now but from what I was seeing while researching the slime thing it has a shortage problem for products (one piece has the same issue) and some of the cards are very very expensive but I don’t know how many you need to run, if that’s the base rarity, or anything. If anyone wants to educate me or correct please feel free to do so; just be polite and I’m happy

[@kristotaku5854]

the Pride mechanic confuses me a bit on some cards. Why would it ever matter an allie has pride 3 on an advanced element for instance? Don't you need a level 3 champion in the first place to even cast an advanced elements?

[@EvaPlaysStuff]

That's a good point that you'd need to reach level 3 to even play the advanced element slimes, but there are some cards that interact with level that could mess with it! For example, the Innervate cycle cards let you delevel your champion. And cards like Discordia Harp of Malice can make your opponent -X levels 👍
