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
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.
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?
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.
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!
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 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 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'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 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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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 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 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?
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.
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
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.
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'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.
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
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
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 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.
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.
Yo ADrive I think this is cool but I also feel like these packs should have been tourney promos/event promos instead of a subscription service. The arts and holos are bangers though. Just how I feel though like how pokemon has league packs or yugioh has ots.
@Elestrals glad to hear that. I know running the tourney scene is a whole different beast of its own, just thought I'd add my feedback. Can't wait for my cases 🥰
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
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!
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?
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 👏
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
The stained glass arts look amazing, love them!
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 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
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!
I am absolutely stoked for this idea! I would easily do the$45 dollar tier to try and collect everything!
Awesome survey done! My only thought is 5 cards cards seems a little light
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'm with this idea I'll be real with u its something to look forward too every month at a decent price
This reminds me of the theme boosters Magic does but with a collector's pack spin to it. I like it.
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 love the cost scaling, feels much nicer than some other tcgs per pack
Great idea definitely want to sign up for the 3 tier
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.
Survey done! I think this is a really unique idea!
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!
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'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.
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.
Awesome looks , great ideas 🤯
I would go for teir 2 or a 3 pack option maybe if available. 😎👍
Budget is always the barrier.
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!
The stained glass art is amazing!!
Shattered Stars is HUGE!!! I am in love with 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!
Adrive: it’s coming soon
Me: checks email, discord, TH-cam constantly to make sure I don’t miss it
I think that’s such a cool idea! Would be hyped for this
I think this is a great idea, cant wait for my cards to arrive and get playing with the community ❤
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!
Probably do the 2 pack deal. Make it easy to change how many packs you want each month. It’s a perfect idea
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
It’s coming soon!
I swear it's like you want me to spend money on good art 🎨 👌🏼
Agreed 100%
SAME!
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?
God man your rolling out the best ideas that my ears are loving i cant wait for this man
Looking forward to this
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).

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)
10 a month to my Australian door would be amazing. Just need to see prices.
compared to other subscription based stuff like this, its super affordable and great on people with a low budget!
You could also put exclusive plushies with it
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 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
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 such a cool idea. Big fan!
Where do ypu sign up?
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!
What if you could get leftover kickstarter products offered as tier subscriptions?
There won’t be enough
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.
A box tier level would be cool
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
I love this so much!!!
Yooooo I need those stained glass cards! Also, gimme that toxion!
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?

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 thought shattered stars was going to be a set like pokemon because of the design of it. it looks really nice.
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 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?
Let's go! ❤
4000-6500 packs should be printed if more needed ajust
I might have missed it in the video but when is this starting?
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.
This is an amazing idea
I'm so PUMPED for this! ❤
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
I am all for this (Insert " Don't shut up and take my money" meme here)
For all that 10 is crazy good WHERES THE CREDIT CARD SLOT
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 $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.

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
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!
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
is Elestrals going to be more than a card game?
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.
Yes. I need this
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.
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
$10 for 1 pack a month?
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
Lycavolt my love!
This looks sick
Ready for the $45 sub !!
Super appreciate your excitement Carlos!
My wife asks what’s that… children and I answer WE NEED IT!!!!
Take my money!
Hype!
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.

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.
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
WOOOOO
Ur gonna break my wallet!!! Tier 3 coming up
God bless you dan.. i had to get a 2nd job because of you…😭😭😭😭😂😂
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.
Yo ADrive I think this is cool but I also feel like these packs should have been tourney promos/event promos instead of a subscription service. The arts and holos are bangers though. Just how I feel though like how pokemon has league packs or yugioh has ots.
We are still a ways away from widespread irl tournaments and we can look at other cool ideas for that!
@Elestrals glad to hear that. I know running the tourney scene is a whole different beast of its own, just thought I'd add my feedback. Can't wait for my cases 🥰
I'm in at $45 tier
