Seems like such a no-brainer to have sets go out of print that I can't imagine them not doing it.

All revealed cards so far:

It's a no brainer to a collector/veteran as it's needed to hold some card value.

If I was running an online company and wanted the highest possible sales, I probably wouldn't consider it (more products = more possible sales with minimal extra costs). Basically taking the attitude that the second hand market isn't my concern (as I don't profit from it). Being a digital format, I wouldn't be shocked if they didn't retire.

IMO, the reason MTG makes many decisions that they do is based on costs as well as understanding the need for a second hand market for stores to exist and respect to their customers who have invested money in their game. I'm not certain an online model only will have the same reasons besides maximizing company profits. It will be interesting to see their attitude.

A digital TCG still has to respect the customers investment in the game and a healthy secondary market is important in retaining customers.

On Friday at 6pm est they will be doing a live demo of the game on twitch.tv

In theory, yes. However, if it is a 'must/has to', do they not understand that fact - as evidenced by no announcement?

Just presenting another model (cash grab).

pretty sweet, the PvE kinda reminds me two of my favourite games, tactics ogre and FFT.

just a little bit. But enough .

My 3 days of refreshing just payed off, I sniped an Early Bird King that just became available.

:O what's the difference, didnt know I should be looking!

Early bird king is the King tier but for $90 instead of $120. Its limited to 250 and filled up the first day but if someone cancels or upgrades a slot will become open. I made a second account (actually 3rd) and was sitting on the page refreshing randomly for the last 3 days. It finally said "249/250 1 available" so I bought it.

Ok now I am done. I have a Grand King and 2 early bird Kings.

New stretch goals released:

Kickstarter + Paypal is currently at 575k

Not necessarily. It could mean "unless an effect prevents you from doing the first sentence".

An mtg example would be this card:

The sacrifice is not optional, but if you somehow get the creature off the table in response to the trigger, the sacrifice can't happen. The "if you do" makes the 4 damage contingent on the sacrifice so that you can't circumvent it with Cloudshift or Unsummon type effects.

Just sent off all my ancient Magic cards to a buddy for sale. Should net me enough to cover my Pro Player pledge several times over. Can't wait to play this!

Stacking Pro Player pledges is what all the cool kids are doing.

I'm not going to be able to watch the twitch stream tonight so if anybody could post the vod, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

Twitch saves streams. Stream starts in 4 hours. You'll be able to view it after it if finished by clicking videos at http://www.twitch.tv/hextcg

So tempted to join in. I've always wanted to try out a TCG.

Where did hoya go he was here and excited the first 2 days then hasn't posted.

this guy seems like a fish... is it really correct to play the can't attack/can't block on both of those early 2/1's?

Only if you are really aggressive. Lack of follow up makes it pretty weak.

1k viewers? Not bad considering they don't seem to be one of the 6 featured streams on the front page.

so which deck do you prefer, and which do you think is better?

I don't know, that graveyard card being bugged was a potentially big factor and made it frustrating to watch for me anyway. (Also, the pov player wasn't the best player it seemed)

a lot less watchable than hearthstone, for sure.

I guess it has to do with the fact its a lot more complicated and not beginner friendly.
