Unmatched Jurassic Park 2 Box Opening

[@RestorationGames]

Love the format. Longer = just more zs12 to take in. Also, we didn't make all those one-off Malcolm cards for the art. It was because I couldn't leave out any of those great card names. 😜

[@zeroskatr12]

Hey glad you agree 😁 And oh ok it was about the names, not the art. I was on the right track! Haha

[@marshwiggle8364]

Between the 2 Sattler is definitely the monster

[@zeroskatr12]

That seems to be the case. Though I think there is enough counterplay that she won't break the meta. But she should be a solid pick for sure.

[@CCleowo]

@@zeroskatr12 a lot of cards rely on effects so fighters like bigfoot or Sherlock will prob win

[@zeroskatr12]

@@CCleowo yeah I definitely agree with that. They aren't called the Big 3 for nothing!

[@EliteBadFrog]

Love the added strategy portions! Think it also sets your unboxing apart from others

[@zeroskatr12]

Awesome I'm glad to hear that! I figured the same thing. If people just simply want to see a quicker video of the unboxing then they could watch one of the many others out there. But I think most fans of my channel would appreciate the extra strategy talk.

[@jimpanse6142]

i really like the art on this set and these movie quotes are legendary - too bad were gonna miss out on dr. grant cause of the expiring license - really like the new combined unboxing / first impressions format - keep up the good work!

[@zeroskatr12]

Thank you! Glad to hear you're enjoying the new unboxing format. As much as I would love to do dedicated videos to all fighters separate from unboxing, I just can't get to it all without sacrificing other video ideas I would like to do. So I thought 2-in-1 was a good compromise. :)

[@d4rkst0rm16]

this is a great format as a unboxing/first impressions video. I will admit I still really appreciate the editing effort you did on your champion guide videos and hope you make more videos in that style

[@zeroskatr12]

Glad you liked it! As much as I would love to be able to do dedicated videos for each fighter, I just don't think I can realistically keep up without sacrificing other videos I want to make. But we'll see, I definitely might make similar videos in the future.

[@BlueTorchWeddings]

You are the master. I really loved hearing you break down these new characters. I've pre-ordered the JP2 Set along with HK. That's as far as my pocket can stretch at the moment

[@zeroskatr12]

Thank you! 💪Glad you enjoyed it and have fun with the sets! They can be a bit pricey trying to keep up with all the releases 😅

[@fromundaman]

Really loving the analysis part of this. Thank you!

[@Mrhofer]

Enjoyed this a lot. Being new to the game, hearing your insight on what makes a strong/weak card is really useful.

[@zeroskatr12]

Awesome I'm glad I could help out! And welcome to the community 😁

[@scott1516]

The analysis part is great ! It's nice to have some thoughts before deck reviews ! T-rex "miniature" is really amazing ! :D

[@Poindexter_G]

I think they were trying two different things with all of Sattler's one off cards. I think you're correct that it lets them make more artwork and throw in more references. Most of those 1 offs are Malcolm cards, and he has so many memorable quotes from the film (far more than Sattler) so that's a way to get those in. I think, thematically, they're trying to work the Chaotician angle with him. His cards are all chaos, because it's a bunch of single copy cards, it's hard to predict what he's throwing out there. I'm not sure how good that is, but it's what I think is going on.

[@zeroskatr12]

Yeah I agree. I don't really have a problem with it, it's just strange. But if it makes people happy with all the movie references then why not!

[@RiccardoC]

Great video man, keep it up! About the set, I can't stop thinking about how gorgeous a T-Rex full deck of cards designed by Oliver Barret would have been. Really strange that they went for such a flat and plain comic-like style instead. Can't wait to get my copy of both JP sets nonetheless, but here in Europe we'll have to wait a bit :/

[@zeroskatr12]

Thanks! Yeah I love the Oliver Barret art style for Unmatched. It's classic. This art style is definitely the most divisive. Hopefully you don't have to wait too long for your sets!

[@RiccardoC]

@@zeroskatr12 also about rexy, don't you think they kinda missed an opportunity to make her a "boss battle", designed to be balanced against a team of 2 or 3 characters? The fact that she's balanced to make her a fair fight in a 1v1 I feel kinda misses the point of fighting as a giant creature that the other characters should fear :/

[@zeroskatr12]

@@RiccardoC yeah I can see that. Maybe we will see a type of game mode like that in the future, but they probably just weren't ready to implement such a thing yet. Lots of new rules that would need to be figured out for balance.

[@sulfricsun5065]

I agree, I wish we had the amazing art of some of the previous sets. While I do like this art, I would have much preferred the other art styles.

[@michaelmorgan23]

Feels like this set went more for theme than competitive fighters. Still, will be a fun set to play with. Looking forward to a team game with all Jurassic Park sets.

[@zeroskatr12]

I agree with this. Which is definitely not a bad thing. I have yet to play T-rex myself but am very excited to do so!

[@deadkincaid7393]

I'm really excited with large fighters now in the game. I know they would have to get the license to these characters but I would love a two pack with Godzilla and King Kong. That would be so cool and just think of the miniatures.

[@zeroskatr12]

Oh yeah I would love that set actually! Not super optimistic on it happening, but we can dream! 😅 I know currently they don't have plans for any other large fighters. So we'll see if they continue them or if this is a one-of.

[@noahduncan4095]

Nice unboxing! I liked the added length and analysis. Would be cool if you did another video at the end of the ladder season to explain if your first impressions were accurate or if you were missing something

[@bulletsunderpressure]

THIS. Please do this.

[@Wickerless]

Came for the unboxing, stayed for the deck review.

[@zeroskatr12]

That's what i like to hear!

[@AnthonyGarcia-rc2je]

I first thought the same about Your Only Making Her Angry, but it is pretty good! If you have a big life lead(most of the time you will) it can be especially good. Attacking and using 65 million to bring back non-self damage attacks or Ripples can help assure big life leads. This is all match up dependent of course. This is Bcyclone from the discord.

[@zeroskatr12]

Well Chad says you have the best Trex he's played against, so I'll take your word for it! Just seems like Trex can't play the long game and therefore would rather use cards to push damage rather than health preservation.

[@AnthonyGarcia-rc2je]

@@zeroskatr12 I totally see that side too! I will need much more data of course. I respect the opinion of the two time champ!Team Dino's FTW!

[@zeroskatr12]

@@AnthonyGarcia-rc2je haha thanks but I would trust you over myself at this point because I have no experience playing as Rex and you do. Keep up the testing and push the T-rex meta!

[@mirkosrndovic]

I liked the format with strategy guides very much. I know it sounds silly but still I think that it would be interesting to make "unboxing" in retrospective of all of the old boxes (as well as detailed deck guides as you did for Yennenga for example).

[@zeroskatr12]

That wouldn't be a bad idea to do a retrospective on the older sets. Honestly it's just an issue of how much time I can actually devote to content creation. I try to do 1 video per week roughly and there are so many ideas that I can't get to all of them.

[@erichorner8336]

I do intend on maining Sattler. I don’t intend to go fatigue either. I just LOVE the Jurassic Park sets and movies! The theme is so good! Also, healing is my favorite mechanism as well :) I do fear she will be op. At least she doesn’t have infinite recursion 😂

[@zeroskatr12]

I mean fatigue is just something that might happen whether you intend it or not when you're trying to play optimally. Nothing wrong with that. But I'm glad you got a fighter you really enjoy! Interested to see how good she ends up being.

[@thecardboarddungeon8770]

“The Future Ex Mrs. Malcom” seems like it’s made to pump up “I Think We’re Back in Business” doesn’t it? If you can set it up right and begin your turn in maneuver range of an opposing hero and 7 cards in hand, and of course you need both of those cards in hand, you’d: Play “Future,” so 8 cards in hand, gain 1 action, maneuver - 9 cards in hand, get Sattler in melee range - and then attack with “Back in Business” for potential 8 damage. Yeah it’s an edge case and probably won’t even come up in many matches, but it would be really cool when you can pull it off.

[@zeroskatr12]

Oh that would definitely be a strong play. I think if the opponent has a feint they always throw it there and sadly Sattler has no feint punishes since highest printed value is 3. But could be crazy otherwise.

[@Recontramojado]

@@zeroskatr12 Fist game I played with Sattler I Killed an unsuspecting Medusa with that. She was behind the harpies hitting Sattler with everything, she hit Sattler with gaze of stone but I had defended with "must go faster" so I teleported behind her (Medusa now had only two cards in hand) maneuvered, played "Future" and hit medusa for an undefended 8 that ended the game. It's been impossible to do it again because people are afraid of Sattler, so now I use "back in the game" and "sexism" for defense.

[@zeroskatr12]

@@Recontramojado wow what a finisher haha. I'm not surprised that you can't do it again as that's quite an unusual circumstance! But good job pulling it off, and even taking the risk to try.

[@Recontramojado]

@@zeroskatr12 It was fun. In my experience with Sattler, she is really solid against the top tier except Big Foot with his 6 feints and holmes, but well, who is solid against Holmes? She is exceptionally good against BOL 2 as yennenga and sunwokong don't have feints and the "violently if necessary" is a great card against archers and clones. I haven't played against the marvel characters as my group of friends basically banned marvel (tired of all super hero stuff).

[@chosenoneunmatched4617]

Awesome on the analysis part. That's your jam zero. You are gery good at it, and you should continue to do it, and if you like your format, stick to it. But keep analysing!! 💪 I've also found, my favoured way to play TRex is to use every card as attack, as long as you draw "You're only making her angry". When you need to, just use that, and using 2 cards to defend with balances, as hopefully you stay aggressive and dont need to defend too frequently. Also, you will always defend with a 3 or 4 (very occasionally a 5) and if you lose the card by losing combat, recur it with 65million. Basically, stalk your opponent, attack a lot,nd defend occasionallywith "..angry" I know you don't like "..angry" but just thought I'd share. Keep up the great analysis content man!! Always enjoy your stuff and look forward to your next vid.

[@zeroskatr12]

Hey thanks a lot, glad you're enjoying it! And yeah I can see some cases to use Angry on defense. Because I think she has more than enough offense to close out a game. She can afford to defend with it in certain matchups where the game is a race to deplete the opponents health, such as Alice who can hit really big and has Snicker Snack that you'd love to full block with a 5v defense.

[@zeroskatr12]

Still not a big fan of the card, but it has some ocassional uses 😅

[@chosenoneunmatched4617]

I tots agree. You gotta choose when to use it, and other times, just take the hit without defence. Also, if she's not on a smaller map, you GOTTA have cards to boost with so there's also that. IF it were a 2 value tho...twould be so so so much better. But then again, IF my grandmother had a moustache and a beard, she'd be my grandfather. Keep smashing it dude!

[@Poindexter_G]

You finally got someone to rep purple besides Angel.

[@zeroskatr12]

Yeah finally because purple is my favorite color!

[@InvaderZim07]

The T.Rex takes a lot of patience to play in my experience. I can tell she isn’t ‘good’ but I feel like she heavily punishes if she ever gets an opening. I was able to use her to take out one of our best Moon Knight players in our group, but it was *extremely* close. My deck was nearly empty and I only managed to pull it off with a sneaky use of Ripples in the water to get in attack range. That 2 Range of melee can be some ridiculous board presence. The Doctors meanwhile definitely seem like a wall of sorts, but not overwhelming. Weirdly I think she’s like… I don’t know. Is Glass Tank a term? Lol. Very bulky with healing and potentially busted defenses and attacks, but if you manage to get through just a few times she’s down. None of them strike me as new top tier fighters but I think I could see both of them being strong counter picks for various fighters in the future perhaps.

[@zeroskatr12]

Yeah I can see both of them having their place in competitive play even if not super common picks. Can't wait to see how it plays out. Haha glass tank 😆

[@danielbarratt4351]

Maybe you could combo ‘the future ex mrs Malcolm’ with ‘I think we’re back in business’? That’s the only real use I could think of for that card

[@zeroskatr12]

Yep that's definitely a decent use. Though it's pretty telegraphed and an easy feint defense if you have it.

[@bornofashes]

The scheme can help get Back in Business over 7. Hey Hey Hey is good for when both fighters are too close to Rex and want to give up on Malcolm.

[@zeroskatr12]

Yeah but that can also be feinted (all of her cards are good feint targets). The 1-of cards definitely have their uses, it's just that none of them are really that impactful.

[@ricardomartinez6728]

I feel like Dr. Sattler is the T-Rex with so many possible 7 😅

[@IamJFD]

Damn Dr sattler can hit harder than T-rex. For such a cool mini, its sad he will not really be that great.

[@zeroskatr12]

Yeah isn't that crazy?? Though I've been hearing from others that they've actually found T-rex to be quite good. So I'm interested to test her out more.

@@IamJFD I just really wanted to see like a printed 7. Even if it was just 1 copy because you could recycle it with the scheme. And then there would be a bigger feint punish.

Any idea how much the Dr. Ian Malcom mini is worth and will be, going forward?

[@zeroskatr12]

That I have no idea. It really just depends how limited the quantity and how high the demand. Collectibles are really just worth whatever the buyer is willing to pay, so it's hard to estimate a price tag. Though it was only an extra $10 to get the mini initially.

T. rex i must say is very disappointing in the execution. Still, super cool that we got it!

[@zeroskatr12]

I sort of agree with this. I really expected some huge values on her cards. At least like a single copy of a printed 7 attack. The fact that the biggest feint punish is a 5 just doesn't feel right for a large fighter like T-rex. But definitely still happy to have the fighter!

Second comment

[@ПешкоМихаил]

This set probably has the worst card art of all - mostly just redrawn moments from film (ingen raptor set had too, but re-imagined and stylish, unlike this set) and Trex art is just poor and unimaginative. Looks like this set was rushed to release before licence expires and was not polished enough. This also goes with characters powes and card effects.

[@zeroskatr12]

Yeah I am not a fan of the art style, but I know some people really like it so I'm happy for them. Could definitely be the case of rushed release though. But I'd rather have the set less polished than not have it at all, as long as the decks don't break the meta from lack of balance. I think they seem fine so far.
