 MrGibberish:  
 Rourke9: he’s right
 hatboozeparty: 
 QuixoticScrivener: Ravnica, best sorting hat.
 the_semicolon: Ironclad is the best designed character and it’s not even close. I can understand if people have different enjoyments tho , but still it’s a bit weird
loufghyslaufey: Mid take but course Wheeler
 AllTheWeasels: Laser precision and brutality from Wheeler
 Mattmitchell45: Yeah, Harry Potter Hat has to at least be partially to blame for BuzzFeed
Chesul: Ofc your favorite colors are Rakdos Ben, just look at your shirt.
 MrGibberish: Ben's favorite color: Gunk

ChargingFurret: oh 18 actually
 tehfewl: sorry 18
Chesul: Avacado is as nasty as always, yikes.
 AllTheWeasels: For non-boss non-elites it puts the 10s digit on the left because there's only one big life tracker
 hatboozeparty: Why is the first attack of the avocado a grey square?
 AllTheWeasels: @hatboozeparty grey attacks only happen once, the red ones will repeat if the fight goes long
 tehfewl: @hatboozeparty it attacks in a set order, but only uses the first attack once
RangerAlpha7: Avocados only weak to toast
 hatboozeparty: Ohh, neat. The 4 damage is only once then.
 hatboozeparty: Thx @tehfewl @AllTheWeasels 
 A_Dub888: #WatcherThings\
 tehfewl: the "Fun" part of this game, is all the players go at whenever they want.
 AllTheWeasels: o7
   LoadingReadyRun: @RangerAlpha7 toast and millennials
ChargingFurret: there's avacado, but no avacado rat. only half the classic
   LoadingReadyRun: "I've got the Avacado on a timer" sounds like slang for something, but I don't know what
 Transmuted_Elf: what act 2 boss did they end up with?
Chesul: @Transmuted_Elf Collector.
 AllTheWeasels:  ca'caw!
 Transmuted_Elf: @Chesul nice the one i ussually find the easiest
 AllTheWeasels: their power is unmatched!
ShieldHope: Hi ben i have look inside the expansion of elizabeth Bathorie and i realise that's first you guys didn't change the chance cards and they were a lot of cards to protect from being a vampire and turning vampire back into human. since the version i look into was the french version it is also said the vampires keep their keys and win keys by turning other player into a vampire. maybe you guys should try again.
 definenull: Mm that brass 
   LoadingReadyRun: @ShieldHope interesting! I wonder if our version was incomplete
 KeytarCat: did we roll the die?
Chesul: yep, rolled a 2.

 AllTheWeasels: I love seeing enemies in the same fight that you wouldn't in the video game, but wowie yeah some combinations are hard
   LoadingReadyRun: Birds have been donk donked
Isitmeorisitme1: let's goo
 northos: the birds, but not those other birds 
 ekplayscards: oh look it's three of my favorite people of all time
 LithelyUnshod: @ekplayscards Good job on the latest EDHijinks!
scarysoft: ekplayscards I am thinking the same thing
 ekplayscards: @LithelyUnshod @scarysoft    LRR enjoyers are gonna love next week then  both guests happen to be at this table.
CrossXhunteR: is this game cooperative?
 AllTheWeasels: @CrossXhunteR yep
 LithelyUnshod: I figured! The pattern holds.
Chesul: Yep, fully coop.
scarysoft: oh very nice
 ekplayscards: @LithelyUnshod   ty for watching tho! it means a lot!
CrossXhunteR: this as a translation from the video game to the board game seems real neat
 LithelyUnshod: @ekplayscards I'm so excited for *all* the Camp Cardboard vids!
Skye_Stryke: You're going to have to go to the end step anyway since that's when the Parasite dies.
CrossXhunteR: im glad wheeler was tracking all that
 dumbo3k: Caw!
   LoadingReadyRun: "Not taking damage is better then taking damage" is solid advice. Dimir/Rakdos players might disagree, though
LaeliaTBR: life is indeed a resource
 tehfewl: only attacks are doubled
CrossXhunteR: to the rulebook
 AllTheWeasels: Poison doesn't deal damage in any case
Isitmeorisitme1: Rewards time!!
 MrGibberish: Woo
 definenull: Not bad for a cultist fight
Fantusta: these bois look like they are actively gaming
Isitmeorisitme1: ohh baby
 MrGibberish: Ooh
Isitmeorisitme1: flame barrier is so cool
 niccus: kicks in immediately instead of during attacks
 tehfewl: give a row
 definenull: free poison tho...
Chesul: That's a sad downgrade for Wail, but it makes sense.
adept_nekomancer: piercing whale
   LoadingReadyRun: poor whale 
 AllTheWeasels: I'm weak - I couldn't pass up the deadly poison, though I agree the wail is so good here
 lamina5432: dex build
 tehfewl: silent does a great supporting role
 tehfewl: pray is good
 lamina5432: have we seen noxious fumes ?
DideRobot: LRR: While we might not be doing a traditional PPR for #MTGxFinalFantasy tomorrow, we sure will be jamming both sealed and draft starting at 10:00AM tomorrow for the All-Day Paper Fight! We'll be streaming live to both Twitch and YouTube! #LRRMTG #MTGAmbassador (has image) | https://kind.social/@LoadingReadyRun/114594033364668470
 AllTheWeasels: it is interesting to see which cards they changed for the board game vs which cards they decided to leave out entirely
 definenull: not the birds 
 dumbo3k: Caw Caw!

Chesul: Yeah, that fight is the one time you don't want to kill the healer first.
A_NO0B: I assume this is ascension 0?
CrossXhunteR: so many little bits and bobs to this game
 Decaped: early poison commitment paying off nicely
 sporkraptor: This Poison Kills Orbs
 SnackPak_: oof
 Dread_Pirate_Westley: Riiight. The orb's poison. The poison for the orb. The poison specifically designed to kill the orb. That poison?
Chesul: I find it interesting that they got rid of artifact.
CrossXhunteR: is Scry in this game just regular ol mtg-scry?

 GasCityGaming: @callmechrisgaming Congrats friend!
 callmechrisgaming: thanks guys
 nymistrya: Congrats @callmechrisgaming !!   
 AllTheWeasels: Cue Gary Oldman
Chesul: From what I can find, ALL means ALL. but I'm still looking a bit.
 GasCityGaming: 7 days.....
CrossXhunteR: i have zero ideas about the rules, but when does that centurion die if not at 0 hp?
 the_semicolon: @CrossXhunteR There's a 10 on the left side of the card
 KeytarCat: @CrossXhunteR There's a "10" counter on the left side
ChargingFurret: yeah from what im reading, the mystic all supposedly means ALL
CrossXhunteR: ahh. was wondering what the little dongle they put over there was for
 Decaped: Cleave. Cleaver. Cleavest
 KeytarCat: "The numbers are so small!" *this week* "ohno"
Chesul: Ah, found it in the Rulebook, ALL means ALL.
 AllTheWeasels: Second Line on the Abilities and Keywords on the back of the rule book, yep
Chesul: It's right below the AoE rule on the abilities and keywords page on the back.
adept_nekomancer: This is the Slay the Spire equivalent of "That says EACH?!?"
 Decaped: this isn't even an elite!
 dumbo3k: oh man, the mystics also heal all too xD
 AllTheWeasels: Mystic and Centurion fight is so interesting in the board game because that power up really does make it less obvious which one you have to take out first
CrossXhunteR: this game board game seems cool. kicking myself for missing episode 1
CuteTeaGoat: i never know which one to target in this fight in the video game.  Seems clearer here 
 AllTheWeasels: @CrossXhunteR the vod is great
ChargingFurret: @CrossXhunteR it's up right now on the Youtubes!
 AllTheWeasels: Really does feel like a fight where you have to commit, but either option could be right, whereas in the video game I don't think it's ever right to target mystic
Chesul: @AllTheWeasels It can be, but it's super rare.
ChargingFurret: rushdown says first time each turn
 Dread_Pirate_Westley: Serge already drew Rushdown this turn.
 tehfewl: fix'd rush down
   LoadingReadyRun: Mystic: "Hey! This guy's cheating!"

Chesul: That depends on the action Serge, any slime that splits will change if you trigger the split.
CrossXhunteR: there's a video game?
 SnackPak_: 
CrossXhunteR: huh
ChargingFurret: serge
 gualdhar: woah, Serge
 AllTheWeasels: Serge
 gualdhar: family friendly
 SnackPak_: excuse me
 A_Dub888: wait what?
 Cptasparagus: when they say "go into calm" I think they are saying "go into com" like combat
 KeytarCat: @Cptasparagus "Go into Conn"
   LoadingReadyRun: "Poison stab for Funsies"
CrossXhunteR: cool encounter
CrossXhunteR: there's a game?
loufghyslaufey: Lingering damage stats for fun? Is that not... Sadist of Ben?      
ChargingFurret: rupture auto triggering clay is cool
 AllTheWeasels: Rupture not needing a second card to not be a curse is cool
 Transmuted_Elf: simmering fury helps you lots on boss fights
 Dread_Pirate_Westley: Can you buy the rug?
ChargingFurret: is the not for sale tag on the rug?
 AllTheWeasels: not to be confused with ca'caw
 Getter404: Reminded of how every iteration of Gloomhaven made Stamina Potions worse, and people kept using them anyway
 eggmanjr: watcher stance resets after combat
 CosmicDuctTape: @ChargingFurret There was a shop playmat that came as a KS bonus and the tag is one that
mjiig: But are you allowed to buy the shop rug?
CrossXhunteR: why are those arrows on those rightmost ones in the shop?
 CosmicDuctTape: *on that
 CosmicDuctTape: *shopkeeper laugh*
mjiig: That's just the design of the rug from the game
LaeliaTBR: its a design on the carpet
Chesul: the arrows behind the cards are just the blanket it's on, yeah.
 gualdhar: this looks like it would be so fun as a video game, too bad there isn't one
 tehfewl: i got the special mat version, that has the not for sale tag on it
 calculated_uncertainties: 1 1 100 1 1
 Getter404: @gualdhar The good news is there is one, the bad news is it's about a Train with Monsters on it
 KeytarCat: I do see the little tag on the lower right of the shop card
Chesul: @Getter404 There are two now!
 Getter404: @Chesul Two trains? In this economy?!
CrossXhunteR: how did Monster Train 2 go on ITYC? i heard others say it had weird balance compared to even the first game
 Transmuted_Elf: blood vial might be better for serge on fury
  Juliamon: CrossXhunteR Went great, Wheeler's looking forward to the next stream
ChargingFurret: @Transmuted_Elf with mental fortress, i think ben is the weakest defense character right now
  Juliamon: He really likes some of the new mechanics, even though the random events still kinda feel bad
 saucemaster5000: bash is always kind of a weird one in a body slam deck, you get less value on it than you sometimes want
Chesul: Stabby Stab!
CrossXhunteR: i love this large HP tracker
ipoddodd: get stabbed 
 eggmanjr: watcher should be resetting to neutral at start of combat
 KeytarCat: Aight, I'm off to game night, I'll vodward later!
 tehfewl: dead bird inside
LaeliaTBR: a real dead dove do not eat situation
 eggmanjr: good job
 TheWriterAleph: "empty your MIND"
mjiig: It's wildly unimportant, but I really dislike the inconsistency between the tens and units columns of the eilte health tracker
 definenull: serge is about to pop off
 tehfewl: i prefer the health tracker in the ap
ipoddodd: are the playmats too large for the camera?
ChargingFurret: ghostly armor is ethereal, not exhaust

   LoadingReadyRun: @ipoddodd we don't have playmats for StS we just wanted to keep the cameras as zoomed in as possible so that you can see the cards
 Transmuted_Elf: 20 damage that is as much as 4 5s and that is not terrible.
   LoadingReadyRun: 🎵It's Ben one weak since you looked at me🎵
CrossXhunteR: im glad this is the year of combo serge
ChargingFurret: wheeler needs a daze
ChargingFurret: he got it
 definenull: might be able to end it this turn if they want to spend time to math it out
 Decaped: this board game is missing sweet sound effects
 definenull: are you really playing watcher if you don't hear the wrath sfx every other second?
CrossXhunteR: does the poison fall off?
A_NO0B: cwbgh
ChargingFurret: @CrossXhunteR no it doesn't
 saucemaster5000: out of curiosity what happens when a single player runs out of health in the board game? Is there a revive mechanic or is it full elimination?
ChargingFurret: @saucemaster5000 there's a bonus rule for last stands in a boss fight, but its just full elimination
ChargingFurret: otherwise
 saucemaster5000: huh. awfully long co-op game for having elmination, rough for a board game night
ChargingFurret: as in the whole run dies
 saucemaster5000: oh gotit
CrossXhunteR: what
 definenull: i cream!
LaeliaTBR: ice cream my beloved
ChargingFurret: ICE CREAM
Chesul: Ice Cream is so good.
ipoddodd: they're putting surveil not just on lands, but Artifacts now???
 definenull: foreign influence might be funny with the booty bounce
 Getter404: Ice cream? Did somebody say ice cream?
CuteTeaGoat: screw those guys
ipoddodd: I love you little guys
 definenull: yeah they might be a little short on aoe
CrossXhunteR: does this book of stabbing just hang out now that it has been killed
Chesul: There's no way to get 4 with only two jumps, so 3 is as strong as you could get.
 eggmanjr: well its not exciting to die either 
ipoddodd: This is A0, right?
CrossXhunteR: remember kids, play responsibly
CrossXhunteR: @ipoddodd yes
 definenull: whats the boss again?
ChargingFurret: collector
CuteTeaGoat: it could be anything
 definenull: i see

 Strebenherz: @LoadingReadyRun thank you, will check that out
 Getter404: "What are you gonna do, stab me?"
 Darleysam: Yeah this music from the app is the (we're not talking about it) video game's music
ChroniclerC: People are already making Angry Zen Master jokes with "Empty your mind!", right?
   LoadingReadyRun: This particular track is "Battle with the Champ" which the app designates as the Act 2 Boss music 
CuteTeaGoat: just pretend they're not there 
 DirectorStephanie: oh yes
CrossXhunteR: oh, i now understand these color figures next to the enemies
 AllTheWeasels: got em, Paul. Direct hit
ChargingFurret: ghostly armor is ethereal, so it's in wheeler's discard pile
 Strebenherz: @LoadingReadyRun i dig that they made an app, and among other things added music for it.  it's a nice touch
   LoadingReadyRun: it is! The music player is a *little* janky, but it works ok
   LoadingReadyRun: The torchhead died of a broken heart (and stabbing)
Mai_Andra: Angry Zen Master approves.
 AllTheWeasels: Max block is 20 for players FYI
ChargingFurret: they don't exhaust
 AllTheWeasels: not 10
 saucemaster5000: oh this is a genuine app for the game? that's a very nice touch
ChargingFurret: ben has one more draw
 AllTheWeasels: I don't know why block and only block can go above the indicator on the cards
ChroniclerC: #justWatcherthings
 AllTheWeasels: The achievements give the most important reward - you get to check a little box and feel smug
 the_semicolon: isn't there a poison cap?
 MrTheWalrus: The poison cap is 30
TheLodgium: Aye, 30
ChroniclerC: Do we get to cheevo for hitting it?  
ChroniclerC: Jezus, y'all halfed it's health.
 AllTheWeasels: Ben's call to just wraith form and kill collector before it exhausts has been rewarded. This combination of decks rules

 DirectorStephanie:   
ChargingFurret: ben did deal like 100 damage with poison
 AllTheWeasels: Exactly right Serge
CuteTeaGoat: i mean, they're not terribly threatening
ChroniclerC: Ben is killing the boss by chillin' and dealing poison while the other two are rolling around with shenanigans.
Zenergy142: Paul, I don't want to interrupt Ben Ben while he's in the zone. I've been messing around with Custom Leaders for Arcs. Do you think Ben Ben would be interested in using those for a stream? (To be clear I haven't made LRR ones yet, but I've been thinking about doing so.
