I usually enjoy the high complexity characters regardless of power level, but this convinced me to get this box to teach new players more effectively (sorry to my sister, you deserved better than playing Spiderman against Huntress). After trying it myself: I can tell it's not remotely competitive, but my opponent was 20 life up and I chained Crit Bash into Rage into 5 die basic, and watching the panic as their sure win was now looking tenuous was priceless. I still lost that game as I was still at 10 and I wiffed my defence, but wild moments like that can really get a game like Dice Throne to stick with you.
Thanks for sharing that story. I love hearing about wild DT games with huge big swings. You're absolutely right about these big moments that make people go "oooh!" being the magic that keeps us coming back to DT.
Just me or is the audio out of sync?
Not just you
Positivity! Love it. Can't wait for the next league draft/season.
Been waiting for another review, thank you for taking the time to make these videos! I tend to agree regarding playstyle (she's not for me), but I can definitely see how the right player could be very competitive with her! Keep up the fantastic work!
Yesss! This made my day. Keep going with these series man! Love the content, and very excited for your thoughts after playing with the upcoming Xmen
They are all coming...
Man a dice throne tournament sounds so fun, need to get more people into the game around me
Can you use nanites to inflict damage and get rid of the shadow thief shadow effect in the upkeep phase ?
No. The Shadow effect doens't go away when it blocks dmg and it only blocks atk dmg. So Nanites won't be stopped by Shadows and also won't cause the Shadows to clear.
Negative Zone for the W
Hi I am just getting started in Vs 2pcg , I already love your videos, I have watched a ton of them already hehe
That's amazing to hear. VS is GREAT. What brought you into our little card game?
@@TheBuildPhase I used to watch friends play it back when I was a kid in the early 2000s and I always though it looked awesome, but I was playing Yugioh back then now I play Digimon and Vs lol
21:18 “I don’t think there’s hardly any reason to play Counter Strike ®.” Yeah ikr i suck at fps games where you can’t ads
Also thx for the guide! I just got into this game yesterday cuz my friends wanted to try it on tabletop simulator
Your kid is adorable! And super smart too!! ❤❤
I've been binging since I discovered your channel. These have been crucial as a very new player to the dice throne scene. Each video is clear and well taught! Thank you Mr Ben!
That's awesome to hear. Glad you find it useful. Welcome to DT!
Hi sir pls review the huntress too thanks 😁
I agree with all of your points, but I will say that just as quickly as Vs2PCG went online only, it could go back to using distributors. (I don't think that it will). My pet theory is UDE launches some kind of next VS 3, as a new TCG probably. They could totally continue 2pcg if they do that. I don't know if they would, but they certainly could. That could be the best case scenario for 2pcg fans. We get to keep buying our LCG style cards from the upper deck store, and Upper deck makes enough on a new TCG to keep all the licenses funded. They're going to convince me to get into another TCG probably. I'm cautiously optimistic for the future.
I just bought this set now and just saw your video, I am kinda dissapointed because I did not saw your point of view before I bought it and already cards got banned 😢
Well, cards are only banned in the one format. There's lots of places where you can still get wild with the Hunger Virus. Kitchen table never bans anything unless you want it to. And formats outside of Incursion will still allow them. So the set isn't unplayable, but it's so strong it's not very surprising some of those cards got touched by Incursion bans very quickly.
Huntress had such a strong early game, especially with shadow theif having its first turns needing to build up this seems like a nightmare lol
Love this.
I hope Whit will do more with me. But I also don't want to force it. It's super fun for me when he's into it. ❤️
Dude. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
That's awesome! Happy to help. Welcome to Dice Throne!
@@TheBuildPhase Did you ever do a guide to Paladin?
@ksignorini he is not coming next, but is scripted and will be filmed after the next one. Which is Huntress.
@@TheBuildPhase Great! Keep em coming. You guys do a great job!
@ksignorini that's very kind of you to say. Thanks!
What a great idea! I've taken to customizing some of the tokens of my favorite heroes (metal 'Pirates of the Caribbean-style' coins instead of doubloons, a miniature metal Mjolnir for Thor, etc.). I'm always looking for new ways to make it even MORE special!
Awesome guide! Your other guides also helped me a lot. Many thanks and more guides!
What do you think in general of the Marvel heroes compared to these original 14/16, in terms of fun level? (I can probably get one battle chest but I don't know which one to go for :P The Marvel IP isn't really a positive or negative for me.)
If the Marvel coat of paint isn't a selling point for you, then I'd encourage you to look at the mechanics. Find the set that has heroes that speak to you. Now, if you're new to DT, in my opinion, starting with Season 1 is a solid pick. You have a very well rounded box with heroes that do just about all the different types of things you can do. Overall the complexity is a bit lower than some of the other chests... But there are still very complicated heroes for the folks in your playgroup who enjoy that. #ShadowThief Season 2 takes the art to another level, in my opinion. It also introduces heroes with companions and other unique mechanics. Some of my favorites are in this box. Cursed Pirate might be the coolest design in the whole game. Both Marvel boxes (Xmen isn't out yet) offer familer Marvel heroes with that DT gameplay. I think there's a lot to love in here. Black Widow is easily in my top 5 favorite in the whole game. However... You asked for which ONE I'd recommend. I think that the first season continues to be the best on ramp for new players. But I want to qualify that a bit. Every chest has great gameplay and wonderful art. Your playstyle will have a lot of impact on which of these sets you like the most. For example, if you love the idea of going into battle with your cat, maybe Huntress will be your favorite based on the theme. So, in that case, I'd say start with Season 2. There's no wrong order to pick up the battle chests. They are all great value for the cost. And while I do tend to nudge people toward S1 as the best place to start, if you look over the options and the heroes in Marvel or s2 look more fun, then go with that box. Let me know what you choose!
@@TheBuildPhase Thanks for your reply! I will look more closely at what the heroes all do to make a decision.
@lystic9392 if you aren't already there, maybe check out the DT discord. Lots of folks with strong opinions of the heroes. Might be useful to inform you choice. Though... The truth is... Eventually you want all of 'em. It's just so good.
Positivity? What world is this? <3
Do you need to discard the fire mastery when you use it?
Some effects on the Pyro board force you to discard the FM when used, and some do not. It depends on what you're activating.
When does the match happen?
What a game. Wow!!
It sure was!
This is exactly the kind of guides I need! Thank you 🙏 Hope to see more
Hard truths. Very accurate though.
Yeah. It's sad. But VS can't be something it's not. Time for me to accept that the competitive itch has to be scratched elsewhere.
This was really interesting Too bad you didnt do a playlist its a bit hard to find the others...
Seems like an easy enough thing to set up. 👍
your good idea has now been implemented. Thanks!
For Ruminate, could you spend your previous chi then play this gain 5 and immediately spend it for 5 more damage?
Yup!
I think they also designed the low drops with super powers for the Super Super format, and just poorly timed on release. I really hope this format gets used again in the future, with some better anti Max tech.
"Don't go chasin' 6's Yall - please stick to the 1s and 2s & 3s that you're used to - I know that you're gunna have it your way or nothing at all - but I think you're rolling too bad"
I should definitly steal these lyrics and write a whole parody. Hahaha.
Just ordered 1 of each starter deck and the expansions. Insightful interview. Very well conducted.
It brings me a ton of joy to think people are still discovering this game. It was good. Shame how it ended. Hope you have fun with it!
Great commentary as always. Really enjoyed the banter of a guest analyst as well. Thanks for hosting these. It was a fun season. (On a side note, I could have picked juggernaut as a camp for the third game. I found it ironic you brought it up that camp selection as I watched the matches)
We are happy to bear witness to your gameplay, sir!
So happy to have another review 😍
They are going to keep coming. Hoping to have all released heroes done before XDT releases.
Very good video! Thanks for explaining the character, now I am thinking about buying him and paladin! I just want to ask you - will there be analysis of the Seraph? I really like the character as the concept but it also seems very weak and hard to play properly. I know she is one of the weakest characters in tournaments because of RNG in flight and blind status effects. I would just love to see your opinion on her and your playstyle. I dont know if you are familiar with the character since you are not really mentioning her while comparing to other heroes but still would love to see review of the Seraph!
Yes. All the heroes will be made. Huntress is already scripted. And I'm leaning toward Paladin after, which would finish off season 1. But for sure next one being filmed in Huntress.
Those reviews are simply awesome, I've been recommending them to some friends!
That's awesome. Happy you find them useful!
Monk is my favorite! Once I fully understood the power of the chi in this game my mind just exploded with the potential of this character.
That's so cool. I love that moment. When the hero just "clicks" and the muscle memory starts to kick in. Hope this new knowledge gets you some Ws!
Upper Deck might as well hire you in new sets & giveaways ...lazy/crazy companies. New Set atleast ... 👍
I can't pretend to know why UD makes some of the choices they make. I hope it's because of factors I can't see and they are actually making good calls. But some days it is hard to hold onto that. Regardless. I'm going to take what cards I can get for this game as long as they keep making them. Danny and Ben have my loyalty, even if UD sometimes makes me wonder what they are thinking.
@TheBuildPhase Positivity is a great policy, lets hope for the best
Love these reviews SO much! Thanks for putting in the time!
That's awesome to hear. Hope the series helps you win those games. ❤
Let's gooooo been waiting for a new review !!!
Should have a followup soon! Huntress is in the editing bay now that Monk is done.
So... a kinda roguelike with a skin from "the boys" Altough I love the boys and agree with the criticism, I also believe thiz could be grat for friends who are more casual regarding board games or the boys. Gonna get it.
It's tough. On the one hand, I really wanted it to FEEL like The Boys world. And it's just not that. But it is a fairly easy game to pick and play with friends and just laugh at the art and names. I just feel like the source material deserved a little better treatment. There is a good story in there, shame it didn't make it into the game. Still, if it's a good fit for your group, that's awesome to hear. I like helping people make informed purchases.
@@TheBuildPhase Thanks man! great advice!! Just received it and Im excited to play tomorrow!!
Just learning to play and this really helped me. Thank you!
That's awesome to hear. Thanks for the kind words!
I honestly thought this was going to be a rant about Super Super being ruined by Maximus.
I feel like I've ranted about imablanced cards enough for now. I think I've laid out my case for enough cards that people probably have a good idea how I feel about turn 3 win conditions. But yeah. Not a big fan of that.
are promo cards legal in tournament play?
MOST events, no. Generally speaking promos are just for kitchen table games, but I spend a moment talking about them in each of these videos. Not sure where else I would do so. But yeah, analysis of the promos is largely irrelevant to the tourney scene.
Great commentary as always MrBen! That hype video at the start was 🔥. Appreciate you hosting these and taking the time to play by play as well. See you in the finals.
Great game! Appreciate thw show.
This was awesome! Love all the cards and Radlands video you added in behind them.
Super happy with how it turned out. Also happy other people enjoy being silly as much as I do. Hehehe.
I LOVE this analysis, thank you so much for taking the time that you do! I can't wait for the rest of them, they're incredibly insightful and useful. Keep up the amazing work!
More hero breakdowns are in the pipeline. Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi, could you make some further reviews on Dice Throne Characters? It would be nice to make them all :-)
Absolutely! My next DT video is scripted and ready to shoot. Coming soon!
@@TheBuildPhase That's great. You make my day.
This run of comics started around 90 and I think ended in 97. During this run Johnny Blaze was not the Ghost Rider, oddly they used the art from the 90's Ghost Rider (though later Blaze became the Ghost Rider again taking on the 2nd GR appearance). This is the set that's going to get me started on VS.
It sure looks like 90s era comics. Love that art.
Thats sad, love this game. Competitive LCGs are hard to maintain. This one lasted the longest I think.
It's had a really great run. I've had so much fun with this game. Made so many great friends. It's just heartbreaking that UD seems prepared to end it in this clumsy fashion.
