Sorcery Could THRIVE with ONE set a year - Sorcery Contested Realm 

as long as the sets are over 300 cards and under 400 cards. Yes, I am looking forward to collecting each card from each set released once per year, and I think that this will be good for the game. This game is for Magic players to play on the side, not as a replacement for MtG, but if we, as Magic players, play LESS MtG, we can play Sorcery on the side, and ONE set per year is perfect for the primary audience of Sorcery.

Louie! Keep it up. Loving the daily sorcery content.

To even have this conversation you have to define “success” and also understand what EC vision and goals and definition of “success” is. You’re looking for middle ground but maybe they don’t want middle ground. Tons of ppl have many different things that “sorcery needs to do to be successful and survive”. “They can’t grow the game if they don’t have it for sale all year”. “If they do it right then x y z”. We don’t know if their growth targets are for individual players added or boxes opened over previous set. (I tend to believe they are working on a unit comp growth strategy). To me it’s clear they don’t want to be a year round model and more of a seasonal drop/model such as a sports season where you check it out during the season and when it’s over you walk away from it and come back at the beginning of the next season. Again everyone including myself has to stop looking at it thru the lens of what’s good for us or me or you and how we can draw customers or friends and try to see if thru their eyes

I would think they would just make it a set pack. Not randomized at all, then there won't be any shenanigans. It's xx$ no hype or pumping etc.

I’m going to West Virginia!!! But I’ll be in white sulfur springs so sadly not close enough to visit the grove

Don't have sealed product? Sell singles. Plenty of "whales" likely to happily sell tons of their "bulk", especially if they are highly leveraged on their CC's. Sealed boxes are cool and all, but you can buy 3 boxes ($450 at MSRP) and still never open certain cards you want, and end up opening cards you don't want which are hard to move or far less desirable than those you want. Everyone thinks they'll open a "God Box", but believe me, those are incredibly few and far between. Singles is the best use of one's money, so what's stopping that from being the primary focus until AL is released?

i want to say i saw somewhere Erik saying that he wants the avatars to have hoods so it feels like the player is the avatar. i could be totally wrong with that....with that being said it would be cool if they made and avatar that affected ranged units somehow..like a robinhood avatar :D...great vid!

The sorcery team has stated that they plan of having 1 set a year, with possible mini sets. Enjoy the ride, and be patient , videos everyday and every week yelling sorcery needs more than 1 set a year isn’t gonna do any good the framework has already been set and stated clearly

Yeah, I got at similar things in my video on this. What I think is the most important is that Eric's Curiosa isn't just planning for a quick in and out like a certain other dead card game that your podcast may or may not be named after. In any case, it signals that they're at least trying to plan for the long term.

The problem with 1 set per year: either it has to be overprinted to keep stores with stock to support the game, or stores end up without product for most of the year and the game can't be supported and/or loses momentum.

I always imagined the "mini set" would be a box product where you just get the 10, or however many, cards.

The problem with a lack of a stream of income for sellers is that they aren't going to prioritize play space for those games that don't make them money. Magic is already going to take up the majority of table space, and the rest of the popular ones will fill out the edges. Sorcery is fine with a 1 year per release, but you're going to be playing it at your home (unless you live in Tulsa) rather than in a store. The issue with that is that there is going to be less exposure to the product, and the player base that atrophies naturally over time will not be replaced by new players at a sustainable rate.

Team Covenant seems to have an endless supply of Beta. Don't let Magic's crazy release schedule fool you. One or two sets a year is great. Or one big, two small.

That's what I've been saying. I dont see sorcery as a board game. It straight up has video game mechanics broken down to paper form. Also, it is really hard to make interesting content around sorcery. I find ways, but it for sure is difficult.

Even once a year feels like a lot lol

One set a year is perfect with maybe a supplement.

I’d be happiest with two big sets per year, but that’s just me.

You mentioned “the collector’s sphere.” You’re talking to people like me who’ve bought 3 booster boxes and 3 precon boxes. I’m almost done buying the rest of the singles I need to have a complete playset, I’ve dl’ed the steam but have only played it once physically. I can almost never make it to events so I’ve uploaded my entire card collection in hopes that maybe I don’t have to be physically at an LGS and still qualify for promos, competitions, dust and the like. Is this feasible from an LGS perspective?

What is this release sexual you speak of?

VanquishersTCG is doing this. 1 main set. And then little "supply drops". It works

Only wealthy people or store owners with financial leeway are feening/complaining like this at this point. Most of us can’t afford to open 50, 100, 150 boxes of cards to build decks and fill out sets. Most of us mere mortals can only afford a box per month, maybe two. We the poors are the ones who will most likely make or break the game. If they cave and print to the whales desires they will loose the wider, poorer base that the game needs.

With all this hype and craze about the latest ai video advancement, I’d love to see a video with a discussion about ai and trading card games

You’re such an ART SNOB

Not sure I could play a game with just 1 set annually. Need more change.

"I cant get new product to teach people the game" . Comments like this really bother me. We all know you have thousands of bulk ordinarys and exceptions to use in making learn to play decks for new players. You dont need booster packs to teach a new players the game and grow the community. Stop it.

i can see it being annoying from a store owners perspective not being able to make money all year round on Sorcery, but damnit, this isn't only about your bottom line! Sorcery one set a year may be close to perfect. perhaps 9 months would work better, perhaps not. or perhaps keeping a core set in print plus an expansion set? i dunno. you do bring up some good points about there just not being any access to cards locally being an issue but really you can get boxes online at msrp so whats the big deal. the game looks out for it's fans and i'm loving it. i dont need to and dont want to drop $1k on cards every 3-6 months.

What's Sorcery? OH I forgot it's that game that released a year ago and hasn't had anything since....what a great marketing strategy for a TCG. /sarcasm.

Sorcery is not a "collectible" game. It's a card game like Uno. RU-vidrs just want to pump and dump. F'en Timmy's
