At this point in the #Lorcana trajectory I'd be glad if any kind of player shows up....

[Citizens of Lorcana @coflorcana]

Now that set champs season is over, I think it’s time for a discussion.

We had an incident in our local community where casual players showed up to a set champs, and as soon as they saw the players with the jerseys walk in to compete, they all left.

On a certain level I get it. Who wants to pay money to be fodder for players who practice more and take the game more seriously?

And for the record, I’m not saying the jerseys did anything wrong here.

But there is this imbalance in Lorcana organized play.

On the one hand, RB markets this as a casual friendly game.

So casual players pick up the game thinking that this is the one for them.

They go to local leagues, planning on having fun.

Then it’s week after week of being beat by the jerseys. Which eventually leads them to stop playing all together (who else has seen their local scenes drying up?), or if they’re lucky, to find a store that caters to casual players.

Set champs then creates a dynamic where those casual players can’t escape the jerseys. It’s the one time that there is actually something worth playing for locally.

I don’t know how your set champs went but attendance at ours is definitely less than they used to be.

So we are in this cycle where casual players aren’t having fun and not coming out anymore, but the prize support isn’t compelling enough to attract jersey players from other games, which leads to shrinking local scenes.

And I know that the game is doing just fine with collectors. The game is making money off of their wallets. It’s the health of the local organized play scene that I want to chat about.

But honestly, I don’t know how to fix it (or maybe this is just me and it doesn’t need fixing at all)

@rebekahquests @AmityTCG @DisneyLorcana This is cool ☺️

[Phooey! 🔜 CCS ATL @phooey362]

@rebekahquests @AmityTCG @DisneyLorcana Do you limit the number of copies you can have of any distinct card? This seems interesting.

[Phooey! 🔜 CCS ATL @phooey362]

@teaganXross @Firstto20 Damn - what a whiff. In front of God and everyone. How will I look my family in the eyes...

[Phooey! 🔜 CCS ATL @phooey362]

@BasicMountain @zdch As part of the offload is revenue taking by the state through taxation still part in your definition of neoliberalism? This part seems to me the distinction from libertarianism.

[Phooey! 🔜 CCS ATL @phooey362]

@podcana Had lots of fun with these.

[Phooey! 🔜 CCS ATL @phooey362]

@r_m_bx @Nive_the_Nerd I've thought a lot about this before - what is green's identity? I came to the conclusion that it is probably White in Magic. Idk, cards like Clarabelle, Diablo, and Webby, HeiHei, etc., all feel like white cards that seek to even parts of the game?

@YbreezyS What State you got?

[Phooey! 🔜 CCS ATL @phooey362]

Calibri, Times New Roman, yadda yadda yadda...

14-point font is the real real headline. Heathens.

[The Lunduke Journal @LundukeJournal]

Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, has ordered… a font change.

The Calibri font was instituted, during the Biden administration, at the recommendation from the “Office of Diversity and Inclusion.”

Secretary Rubio has reverted back to Times New Roman, saying, “Switching to Calibri achieved nothing except the degradation of the department’s official correspondence.”

Rubio added that moving back to Times New Roman would “restore decorum and professionalism to the department’s written work.“

It’s not often you get top level government officials making passionate statements regarding fonts.

@LorcanaHabibi @PhDan_ @WoahChuck01_ This is correct - decrease variance by increasing volume of tourneys spread geographically to make repeated attendance less financially burdensome.

Does anyone know of any great LGS in central Texas? Looking around Waco down to Austin area. Thanks!

@BradenMTG What is the reward to the team for bringing someone on a scumbag? Is the EV really that good?

[Phooey! 🔜 CCS ATL @phooey362]

Good morning #Lorcana

This is easily the best piece of content I have heard.

Hate to see them go after such a high water mark. Hopefully they pick this tone back up when they re-convene. Really well done.
