AC on - The short Alpha Clash podcast

There is another way...

In the lull between big things, I want to talk about a favourite subject of mine.
Trading card games are often described as a game where you reduce your opponents life total to zero in order to win. And that is true, but there is another way...
Alternate win conditions is an integral part of the TCG world now, and Alpha Clash TCG has it's own.
That is the topic of today.

Hordes are coming (PvE)

The pre-release of the PvE, Siege of the forgotten, in Alpha Clash, is now open for pre-order.
You should read the article on the alphaclashtcg.com website, and enjoy the spoilers there. Here is a link to it: https://alphaclashtcg.com/news/siege-of-the-forgotten-amp-spoils-of-the-forgotten-alpha-clash-pve-has-arrived
I for one is exited to get my hands on it. But when that will be... that is still anybody's guess. No official release date yet.

How well did that go??

The first European Alpha Clash Awakening was held on Sunday last week, in the UK.
I went, played and met some great people there.
The venue, the leaky teacup, was the most cosy place imaginable. And the community there and showing up, to play the Alpha Clash TCG, was so nice and welcoming.
I had some great great games, against Contenders I never played before, and want to get home and start deck building.
have a peep at the Clashing teacups YouTube channel : https://youtube.com/@clashingteacups
And swing by the leaky teacup in Retford (UK) if you get the chance.

So much Awakening

So much to talk about, between spoilers and audiobook. But I want to talk about the Awakenings. What is it and what do I expect to show up.
Give it a listen, and let me known what I missed. And what Awakening you are going to.

What controls the meta of Alpha Clash?

The Progenitors gambit has been concluded and Krung, of all beings, is victorious.
That make me wonder what creates a meta in a tcg, and what the reason is for it not being the same everywhere.
So I'll explore that.

Getting rid of Krung

The Progenitors gambit has ended, and the most unlikely of champions have raised. Lord Krung....
the leader of the discarded ended up as the only one in top 4. And a game went almost to time, before one player decked out.
Can we fix that? Should we fix it? Let's dive into the World of Alpha Clash

Draftbox every time

Had to many topics to choose from this week. But settled on talking about the new design for the booster boxes, a product close to my heart.
From the next set onwards, every set will be a draft set.
I opened the original draft box a while back : https://youtu.be/FtZdb4S7mQ0
hopefully the new sets will be just as good.

Player versus what??

Let's talk about the PvE, Siege of the forgotten, from Alpha Clash TCG
We might have seen some of it before, but never like this, with so many things put together in a way that makes sense It seems to scale well to different player levels, and even has game modes that are very unique.
Co-op games I TCG must be hard to get right, but I think they did it.
Now we are just waiting for the release, and for the treasure packs to get cracked.
Take a look at the Team covenant stream, if you want to se some gameplay:

and for some good analysis of what it might mean for deckbuilding, you should watch Gravecrawlers take on it:
