you have very cool thumbnails. Sometimes it is hard to hear your voice when I'm driving which is normally when I youtube but I really need to learn this stuff
@@JDSecretPoliceprobably both, pretty hard to hear. There are many ways to boost your voice even if ur mic are bad. Personally I use OBS filter to boost my mic when recording.
Now I want to see a replay of the Free-Range Monkeys used that way on Silver Lake (even better if comboed with Naturalists' Zoo). Do you have one to share?
Its really hard to rank because they can all be good in different games, depending on all the combinations of cards that are out there. But i do agree on most your list 👌😋
Surprised to see where you put Science Library. Even in 1v1, I think it is spectacular. Unlike any other sponsor card, it tends to be strong enough to play everytime you draw it, in any stage of the game other than the last couple turns (and even then it often is). If you broke this up and did a tier list of Sponsors for the Early game (Round 1), midgame (~25 appeal) and late game, this is the only one that I can imagine would deserve a grade of A or better in each stage. I have it in my Mount Rushmore of Sponsor cards, with Archaeologist, Federal Grants and Side Entrance.
Don't get me wrong, it is a very strong card, but a lot of sponsors are very strong. I think my main issue with it is a bit of a "win-more" card. but yeh, what's nice about it is that it is decent at any stage
Archeologist for sure, it's just an unfair card on certain maps and mostly have to be in your starting hand/starting display to do work. Other than that, maybe you want to remove the F-tier, because it's just a bad feeling if you draw those cards
You should work the mute button on your mic when you're sick like that. I mean, I hope you feel better and what not but man, listening to you hack your lungs out throughout this thing makes it rough. :(
Did you say, for Medical Breakthrough, "Even if you get it turn one, it's as strong, I feel." ? I think you were being facetious, it's insane turn 1. How you'd do that? I have no idea...
It is okey. The problem is most games you're gonna compromise yourself in too many cases to get it out early and in the end it's probably gonna net you 12-15 points which doesnt provide you money along the way. I'd rather go for the early snowball.
@@JDSecretPolice You're better than me but I think a few things. 1. it makes you want to control breaks and push for breaks a lot more. 2. 12-15 points for free is very strong. 3. Getting it out before break one, depending on the flow of the game, will not likely cost you much tempo, if you have science lab, which is probably the only realistic way to get it out turn 1. All opinion, of course.
I don't get why native cards get so low rating. Lets assume you have matching animal on the start. When it comes to raw numbers its the same income as you get from the Federal Grants. Sure, no endgame CP science tag, but an early ticket and possible upside to get even more income. That would be still just sightly worse than FG
Do you mean the sponsorship cards? If so, I feel they are very niche, sometimes they will be excellent, but usually you will stay at 3 money income and a card you want to play first round. FG on the other hand is at any point of the game provides you 3 money immediately as well as the science tag which is huge.
@@JDSecretPolice Yes, sponsorship, not natives 😅. I agree that 3 money immediately is nice. Let imagine FG, did not have the science tag, would you drop it down by one or more tiers?

Awesome video, thanks JD!

Shoutout to darcel for being my thumbnail guy. Yeh, I'm not sure if it's my settings or my low quality mic, i think it's the latter.

Unfort I don't, have only seen it happen on TTS. I might try to force it some game :)

Yeh, you kinda have to look at the list as an average strength. I think im gonna do a "part 2" on how to use sponsorcards optimally

If you were playing a physical copy of the game is there any cards you would remove for being too good or bad while keeping deck balance?

native pred is in marine worlds, missed those sponsors
Yep, Ill prob do a marine worlds first impression down the line

+1 to that, mute or do some basic editing

@@stanisawmuszel3912 For sure, Probably mid-low A+ tier in that case
Just waiting for Sam to Trash something.....
Why does this sam guy always have to be so rude =(
He chickened out in the end. First draft I saw had Guided School Tours in S-tier 😏

Ummm... how did Victory Column get into TTS? Looks like someone hacked the system. I would stay off it.
The creator of the Ark Nova mod on TTS is up to some shady stuff. Someone should really call the police on him
53:12 HUH??
Sorry, that's a misstake by me, OCEANIA is the worst continent in multiple aspects.
Damn, your thumbnails are so cool. Shame bout the rest of the video though
Hello im darcelmaaaw
somebody please nerf WIN to cost 6, smh
This is silly, it all depends on your given play session strategy.
