Thank you for covering Altered in English! There are a lot of great content creators and big channels that cover Altered in French but the English community is lacking. Official release isn't until September 13 though so will over a month to continue building up the English speaking community :)

Amazing video! One thing to add is that the community is very supportive and kind! They recently hit over 10k members in the Official Altered Discord where people are always willing to help answer any questions you have about the game!

one of the pros is also the unique cards. So we come back to the days where you have pleasure to open a booster and discover a card that no one has (right now we know the full-set several month before the release for other tcg game). The promise is that in your booster you can have the best card of the world. In french channel with opening, when they have unique card, they try to find if their card is good or very good.

The community is growing insanely rapidly

Good review and coverage, thanks! I just got into this game and think it’s a fun change of pace from what I’m used to with TCGs.

Its a great game with an extremely cool model. Now if you really don't want to play a TCG then understood, but those that do its something truly different and Unique and the community around it is really great.

I would argue one of the greatest things Altered will have to its advantage is that it won't have the cost associated with a lifestyle game.

Once the print on demand is up and running the second hand market for Rares will plummet (especially since you can only choose 5 sets of rares for your deck list out of 54 available to each faction in set 1). And with only 3 uniques allowed in a 40 card deck you're not even going to see them in every game so it's very likely players will be able to build $20 decks that have no problem stealing plenty of games at locals.

It is poised to be the number one entry-level friendly tcg, hands down.

i love it, i love the fact that cards stay only for 1 turn, then go to the reserve and have a "last breath" from there. this is the most thematic TCG we can find : "you send troops to escort your hero or companion, at the end of the day, your troops have to rest bu can do one more push that cost their life" and feels almost like a boardgame to me.

I can’t concentrate on a word you say when all I’m doing is staring at Gus Glitz in the background.

They lost me at TCG. LCGs and such are the way to go on card games.
