Super stoked to announce Shattered Stars! An awesome idea to get you the coolest cards on the planet! After you watch the video take a look at our survey to give your feedback: elestrals.typeform.com/shattered-stars?typeform-source=www.youtube.com
I think $10 a month is great! Would love to maybe see something a little extra included besides a card pack. Maybe a special monthly sleeve to sleeve up the holo it comes with or maybe a pin featuring the spirit of the month?
Elestrals is truly changing the game. Thanks for being so transparent with your plans, Dan. I just took the survey. Incredibly happy you’re taking our feedback into account.
The amount of care you have shown through all the process is so awesome to see. The love you are displaying for your product has made a passion for collecting to come back to me and something i look forward to sharing with my daughter! Thank you Dan!
Definitely something to look forward to every month! I'd also like to see something like a community/discord fan-art contest and have a winner from those chosen once in a while too, would be really cool to see.
That spicy new card drop as part of it too and in Alt art as well. Damn. Well done and I'm pretty excited for this. Waffling between 1 or 2 packs based on what i can afford
This idea is fire! I think a mystery subscription package every so often would be sick. Like a set price for a random plushy or pin set. Just something to change it up.
I'm Definitely supporting this hands down. I would do 4 packs for my first purchase. And I Definitely would add a shirt after 5 to six months of being subscribed.
Love the idea, especially the stained glass cards. I think this would be even more tempting if there was an additional small physical benefit. Maybe a handful of special edition card sleeves (Maybe 5 for the whole pack or even only one for the holo pull) or a promo card similar to the founders edition blisters? Other ideas like a pin, coin, or a code card for something in the Elestrals app? Many people will feel like they're paying 10 bucks + shipping for a single 5-card pack, despite being a special pack and the extra benefits. I'll definitely be a subscriber, and looking forward to getting my founders edition booster box!
I genuinely like this idea, I am on board and will be subbing for sure. Considering the exclusivity of some of the product here its a no brainer for me :D
I wish it was a bit cheaper but around ten packs for like 30 dollars would be what I would like if we use booster boxes each pack is 2.75 so around 30 to 35 dollars
I love this idea! I would definitely get multiple packs to try my luck at those unique rares. Since these are all limited, I’d like to see you number them all (x/1000 for example for other holos)
Maybe a loyalty program where once you’ve been subscribed for 12 months you get an extra bonus item or a discount code to use? Would incentivize loyalty to keeping an active subscription going every month if there was something extra to look forward to after a certain amount of time.
I hope I didn't miss my chance to sign up for Shattered Stars. I'm very excited to play a Thunder deck and a chance at a Full Art Stellar Sonicore sounds so awesome
i love this idea! its really good not doing ant different cards from the base set, only including alt arts. im just concerned about the price of oversea shipping, do you have any idea about that?
I have some questions about one of the benefits. In the previous update video you talked about that all cards in the mobile app would be available for everyone and that only cosmetics could differentiate users if they wanted to spend extra money (at least for the first period of the mobile app coming out). In this video one of the benefits is 'exclusive cards for the Elestrals app'. Are these exclusives just alternate card arts (or other forms of cosmetics) or actual cards that others can't get access to if they're not subsribed? Because if it's the latter, doesn't this already change the game in the app in a possible 'pay to win' if the exclusive cards become meta?
Since only one spirit is each pack and you need twenty spirits for a deck my immediate thought was I would want to buy 20 packs so that I would have a functional set of matching full art Zaptor. Which if the option exists I probably will do cause I love the electric Dino so much.
This is a good idea and very similar to Nostalgix with their Secret Shards. The differences come in price and that fact you can get multiple packs. Also the packs have less cards but with the option to get more, that makes it more likable. This definitely has me intrigued to possibly do the tier 2-4 options. As long as the tier option can be adjusted if say you want to move up or move down, it would probably be something I would do.
I’m personally drawn to the $30 tier since the previous 2 tiers feel like too little packs. I think it just boils down to the excitement of actually getting to opening the packs though, so for me 6 packs is pretty good considering the type of cards offered and the price point of the service. If you factor in all the other benefits IMO it is a great deal :)
Will these be considered half packs compared to the standard pack for Elestrals? I don't remember how many cards comes in your standard pack. What gets my interest, beyond the stain glass look which I don't remember ever being done for any game, is the insider information. Will we be able to give feed back on the insider input and maybe influence the game? You have been excellent at listening to us so far and hope you continue to at least consider some of our ideas\suggestions.
Great stuff! One idea is to print to order so they don’t get FOMO purchased and scalped. Also, what if all of the subscriptions get purchased right away? Will there not be any more available for months and months?
Monrhly idea is great. It would be an instant yes if it wasn't a random pull. These super rare cards in the sets make sense, but this feels off including them in a monthly subscription. If it was something like Secret Lairs from MTG, instant yes
Will this be available for international customers? I'm from Mexico, and I'd be interested but it might be to complicated or expensive for people outside the us
As someone who wanted to throw money at the Kickstarter but Christmas time always been a time of empty pockets, is there going to be a product run for those still wanting to jump in outside of the new announcement? (I like the announcement but I think you need to consider doing more then just the same 4 commons maybe put in a rotation of 3/4 different sets so people can enjoy more collecting)
I think it would be cool to give us a code in the packs that let us open the pack in the game as well as in real life idk what the logistics of having the exact same pack show up in game would be but that would be a really cool addition to the pack
Pretty sure I lowballed my survey entries compared to other people. XD I was under the impression this was just a Pack a month thing, but considering theres more than that, I want to retract my answers now. LOL, Kinda interested to see where it goes
Prob gonna pick up the $45 it sounds awesome! Those stained glass cards I must have! I dare say they are more impressive than stellars 😳🙃 I really really hope there is a Trifernal stained glass card!
I think this is really Awesome and I do want to participate if I can and if I'm able to I'll probably only do the standard version. Also I know this isn't relevant to the video but when will the sales for the starter decks be up?
I'm super excited to get my cards and I'd absolutely go in for the 6 packs a month. Been keeping an eye on this tcg since the Kickstarter and have always given honest feedback. That being said, I love this idea but dislike the limited quantity. If it's not available to everyone these cards are going to be stupid expensive in the aftermarket. Think ultimate rares from ots packs in Yu-Gi-Oh but multiply that times a thousand. If only a set number of packs are going to be made then there needs to be an order window that every customer has access to.
My man, you just got my Twitch Turbo money for this. After Twitch jacked up that price, I pulled that payment and there was a hole in my budget for this. You will probably get it with this program
I could see how people could get excited for this, but this is a hard pass for me. If I was a collector I would be even more upset I would have to spend 10+ a month to get alt-art cards. I think this creates some FOMO as well. You see a cool card and it becomes a subscription paywall to get a chance at getting the card, or the inflated online price for buying the single because of the naturally limited quanities. I would buy a month here or there if it wasn't $10+ if I knew what was coming before and I knew I wasnted a card that was 100% coming. The most negative thing about this is the early access to sets. It says new products so I assume you can buy the new sets from the elestrals shop. This is pretty frustrating becuase I love getting together on launch day and doing pre-release with people. That could totally happen online too with Elestrals but now it's a split community of whether you got the cards last week or this week. Also from a competitive perspective, I would hope any tournaments around the sets with the launch being staggered like this would give the players who don't pay 10+ a month a chance to learn the set. Just some thoughts. I don't think this is a terrible idea but I personally don't like it.
only 1 holo is the main weakness for me as a collector i dont think thats enough and as a player since your only getting 1 type themed every month its not that beneficial
I’m going to buy 1 pack a month. But I think it’s a bit unfair that people can get like 10 packs a month. I’m a teenager with no job, so I can’t afford that much packs. So it would be a lot more fair to the people that can’t afford a lot of packs if the limit was 3 packs per month. Than we have a chance to pull the stellars too.
I think $10 plus shipping is a little steep. I feel like at $10 for a single pack with 5 cards in it the inherit value being claimed on each card is $2. I feel like as a base tier $5 plus shipping or $10 including shipping is more like what I would like to pay or maybe include the common full art spirit in the pack a guarantee. I get that we are also getting discounts but is it like site wide or do we have to hit a certain dollar amount before the discount is applied. I do plan on at least getting the 2 pack but its more a feeling of fear of missing out rather than seeing this as a deal.
Totally see where you’re coming from but at $5 plus shipping as a base tier the program isn’t sustainable at our scale and size. I do plan to make the discounts worthwhile! Stay tuned for updates!
Agreed. I'm in Canada so that is almost $14 for 5 cards. If shipping was included it would be a little more reasonable. Love that the full art spirit is guaranteed, but I wish the stained glass cards were too! Definitely going to have to pick up the first 6 for those full art spirits.
Super stoked to announce Shattered Stars! An awesome idea to get you the coolest cards on the planet!
After you watch the video take a look at our survey to give your feedback: elestrals.typeform.com/shattered-stars?typeform-source=www.youtube.com
you have outdone yourselves with the stained glass cards. they look absolutely stunning
😍🥹✨🤩⭐️💫
I think this is a great idea. The price is great and it's very unique. Love the idea
I think $10 a month is great! Would love to maybe see something a little extra included besides a card pack. Maybe a special monthly sleeve to sleeve up the holo it comes with or maybe a pin featuring the spirit of the month?
This honestly I would LOVE to see!! Exclusive pins! Sign me up lol
I was just thinking this and saw your comment this dude gets it 👏
10 a month is so good. I was expecting way more. Definitely interested in these.
I was expecting $20
Maybe I'm missing something but $10 for 5 cards sounds a bit steep?
There should be a hard cap on the packs (maybe 11 for 45) so the value isn't deluded by online shops buying a ton
Elestrals is truly changing the game. Thanks for being so transparent with your plans, Dan. I just took the survey. Incredibly happy you’re taking our feedback into account.
Thanks for your feedback!
The stained glass arts look amazing, love them!
The amount of care you have shown through all the process is so awesome to see. The love you are displaying for your product has made a passion for collecting to come back to me and something i look forward to sharing with my daughter! Thank you Dan!
Definitely something to look forward to every month! I'd also like to see something like a community/discord fan-art contest and have a winner from those chosen once in a while too, would be really cool to see.
I am absolutely stoked for this idea! I would easily do the$45 dollar tier to try and collect everything!
I think if there is going to be tiers you need to have an option for 3 and 6. 2 and 5 just means I can't have full playsets of the commons.
Didn't even think of this. Good point man
I swear it's like you want me to spend money on good art 🎨 👌🏼
Agreed 100%
SAME!
Awesome survey done! My only thought is 5 cards cards seems a little light
That spicy new card drop as part of it too and in Alt art as well. Damn. Well done and I'm pretty excited for this. Waffling between 1 or 2 packs based on what i can afford
I'm with this idea I'll be real with u its something to look forward too every month at a decent price
Survey done! I think this is a really unique idea!
This idea is fire! I think a mystery subscription package every so often would be sick. Like a set price for a random plushy or pin set. Just something to change it up.
I love the cost scaling, feels much nicer than some other tcgs per pack
This reminds me of the theme boosters Magic does but with a collector's pack spin to it. I like it.
Oh this idea is amazing and I will 100% be involved. Took the survey and added my 2 cents. Can’t wait for my founders cards to come in!
I think this is a great idea, cant wait for my cards to arrive and get playing with the community ❤
I'm Definitely supporting this hands down. I would do 4 packs for my first purchase. And I Definitely would add a shirt after 5 to six months of being subscribed.
I think that’s such a cool idea! Would be hyped for this
Love the idea, especially the stained glass cards. I think this would be even more tempting if there was an additional small physical benefit. Maybe a handful of special edition card sleeves (Maybe 5 for the whole pack or even only one for the holo pull) or a promo card similar to the founders edition blisters?

Many people will feel like they're paying 10 bucks + shipping for a single 5-card pack, despite being a special pack and the extra benefits. I'll definitely be a subscriber, and looking forward to getting my founders edition booster box!
Shattered Stars is HUGE!!! I am in love with this
Me and my best friend. Absolutely love this idea. We want to sign up right now with the way it’s designed at tear 2. Can’t wait for it to be set up.
Great idea definitely want to sign up for the 3 tier
This is an awesome idea!! I will probably try to pick up 6 packs because those stained glass cards are too beautiful to pass up!
Awesome looks , great ideas 🤯
I would go for teir 2 or a 3 pack option maybe if available. 😎👍
Budget is always the barrier.
God man your rolling out the best ideas that my ears are loving i cant wait for this man
Looking forward to this
I genuinely like this idea, I am on board and will be subbing for sure. Considering the exclusivity of some of the product here its a no brainer for me :D
Let's go! ❤
I wish it was a bit cheaper but around ten packs for like 30 dollars would be what I would like if we use booster boxes each pack is 2.75 so around 30 to 35 dollars
All of them. I want all the shattered stars packs! I want that stained glass penterror!
compared to other subscription based stuff like this, its super affordable and great on people with a low budget!
Probably do the 2 pack deal. Make it easy to change how many packs you want each month. It’s a perfect idea
This is such a cool idea. Big fan!
The stained glass art is amazing!!
I love this idea! I would definitely get multiple packs to try my luck at those unique rares. Since these are all limited, I’d like to see you number them all (x/1000 for example for other holos)
Adrive: it’s coming soon
Me: checks email, discord, TH-cam constantly to make sure I don’t miss it
I love this so much!!!
I'm so PUMPED for this! ❤
Love this!! I’ll be subscribing for sure!! I have an 11 year old and a 6 year old that’ll be playing with me!! Keep it coming!!
Love to hear it!
This is an amazing idea
I thought shattered stars was going to be a set like pokemon because of the design of it. it looks really nice.
Maybe a loyalty program where once you’ve been subscribed for 12 months you get an extra bonus item or a discount code to use? Would incentivize loyalty to keeping an active subscription going every month if there was something extra to look forward to after a certain amount of time.
I hope I didn't miss my chance to sign up for Shattered Stars. I'm very excited to play a Thunder deck and a chance at a Full Art Stellar Sonicore sounds so awesome

Yes. I need this
I am all for this (Insert " Don't shut up and take my money" meme here)
I feel like there should be a three pack tier. Playset amount so people can use the same arts and not be missmatching if they didn't want to
Noted for sure, we will work with this
10 a month to my Australian door would be amazing. Just need to see prices.
Where do ypu sign up?
This looks sick
This is a good idea and very similar to Nostalgix with their Secret Shards. The differences come in price and that fact you can get multiple packs. Also the packs have less cards but with the option to get more, that makes it more likable. This definitely has me intrigued to possibly do the tier 2-4 options. As long as the tier option can be adjusted if say you want to move up or move down, it would probably be something I would do.
Yea we’d allow it to be adjustable! You’d lock in on a month and we’d just stay at that tier unless you changed it.
A box tier level would be cool
You could also put exclusive plushies with it
I’m personally drawn to the $30 tier since the previous 2 tiers feel like too little packs. I think it just boils down to the excitement of actually getting to opening the packs though, so for me 6 packs is pretty good considering the type of cards offered and the price point of the service.

4000-6500 packs should be printed if more needed ajust
Great stuff! One idea is to print to order so they don’t get FOMO purchased and scalped. Also, what if all of the subscriptions get purchased right away? Will there not be any more available for months and months?
Yooooo I need those stained glass cards! Also, gimme that toxion!
Monrhly idea is great. It would be an instant yes if it wasn't a random pull. These super rare cards in the sets make sense, but this feels off including them in a monthly subscription. If it was something like Secret Lairs from MTG, instant yes
I like the idea and $10 seems fair. I’d be down.
Hype!
Am I too late to mention that I'd love this feature? I don't wanna miss the first pack but if I do at least I can get the second one!
Will this be available for international customers? I'm from Mexico, and I'd be interested but it might be to complicated or expensive for people outside the us
I am interested. I LOVE deals and once you have more information, would LOVE to know how much it would be for a yearly subscription.
Ready for the $45 sub !!
Super appreciate your excitement Carlos!
As someone who wanted to throw money at the Kickstarter but Christmas time always been a time of empty pockets, is there going to be a product run for those still wanting to jump in outside of the new announcement? (I like the announcement but I think you need to consider doing more then just the same 4 commons maybe put in a rotation of 3/4 different sets so people can enjoy more collecting)
I would love to get a higher tier of more packs per month because I would really like to up my chances of getting the rarest cards.
I think it would be cool to give us a code in the packs that let us open the pack in the game as well as in real life idk what the logistics of having the exact same pack show up in game would be but that would be a really cool addition to the pack
WOOOOO
Pretty sure I lowballed my survey entries compared to other people. XD
I was under the impression this was just a Pack a month thing, but considering theres more than that, I want to retract my answers now. LOL, Kinda interested to see where it goes
Lycavolt my love!
My wife asks what’s that… children and I answer WE NEED IT!!!!
Prob gonna pick up the $45 it sounds awesome! Those stained glass cards I must have! I dare say they are more impressive than stellars 😳🙃 I really really hope there is a Trifernal stained glass card!
nice idea but got very expensive to buy 1 pack and ship it to europe with tax it would cost €15 / €20 a pack a month.
I think this is really Awesome and I do want to participate if I can and if I'm able to I'll probably only do the standard version. Also I know this isn't relevant to the video but when will the sales for the starter decks be up?
For all that 10 is crazy good WHERES THE CREDIT CARD SLOT
Take my money!
I'm super excited to get my cards and I'd absolutely go in for the 6 packs a month. Been keeping an eye on this tcg since the Kickstarter and have always given honest feedback. That being said, I love this idea but dislike the limited quantity. If it's not available to everyone these cards are going to be stupid expensive in the aftermarket. Think ultimate rares from ots packs in Yu-Gi-Oh but multiply that times a thousand. If only a set number of packs are going to be made then there needs to be an order window that every customer has access to.
dope, im excited.
is Elestrals going to be more than a card game?
🎉
Ur gonna break my wallet!!! Tier 3 coming up
I might have missed it in the video but when is this starting?
What if you could get leftover kickstarter products offered as tier subscriptions?
There won’t be enough
God bless you dan.. i had to get a 2nd job because of you…😭😭😭😭😂😂
if i subscribed then im not guaranteed to get it due to supply quantity? or is the supply limitation for packs bought independently?
If you subscribe and we don’t have the pack to send you you’d get refunded. We will have a backend system to avoid that scenario
If it's 45 for 11 packs I'm good with that
I WANT IT. Did the survive
My man, you just got my Twitch Turbo money for this. After Twitch jacked up that price, I pulled that payment and there was a hole in my budget for this. You will probably get it with this program
I could see how people could get excited for this, but this is a hard pass for me. If I was a collector I would be even more upset I would have to spend 10+ a month to get alt-art cards.

Just some thoughts. I don't think this is a terrible idea but I personally don't like it.
this is just secret lairs but as a battle pass.
@@BlindOracle00 it’s awfully aggressive too. No reprints, limited quantities. I think a secret lairs model would honestly work better imo
only 1 holo is the main weakness for me as a collector i dont think thats enough and as a player since your only getting 1 type themed every month its not that beneficial
$10 for 1 pack a month?
I’m going to buy 1 pack a month. But I think it’s a bit unfair that people can get like 10 packs a month. I’m a teenager with no job, so I can’t afford that much packs. So it would be a lot more fair to the people that can’t afford a lot of packs if the limit was 3 packs per month. Than we have a chance to pull the stellars too.
And it’s also a but t mid that you can get normal holo’s in the holo spot. I can get the zaptor, but thunderstorm and shield is not that great to get.
I think $10 plus shipping is a little steep. I feel like at $10 for a single pack with 5 cards in it the inherit value being claimed on each card is $2. I feel like as a base tier $5 plus shipping or $10 including shipping is more like what I would like to pay or maybe include the common full art spirit in the pack a guarantee.

I do plan to make the discounts worthwhile! Stay tuned for updates!
Agreed. I'm in Canada so that is almost $14 for 5 cards. If shipping was included it would be a little more reasonable. Love that the full art spirit is guaranteed, but I wish the stained glass cards were too! Definitely going to have to pick up the first 6 for those full art spirits.
The common full art spirit is guaranteed in each pack
