Great video! Quick note on Clash damage vs Non-Clash Damage (NCD): -NCD sticking around for a turn is an old rule; this was changed at the launch of Set 3 -Now NCD sticks for the duration of a phase, but ceases to exist past that phase (combat or primary phase)
Thank you for the clarification, Ridge! Hopefully people don't take my review video as comprehensive rules and will find that small but meaningful change! 😅
As someone who has played a lot of Alpha Clash this year, I really enjoy it. I really enjoy the art style and the community. There is a lot of great online play and player bases continue to pop up around the world. I definitely think anyone who thinks the game looks interesting should check it out.
This was a very thoughtful and comprehensive review. Nice combination of history, description of major mechanics, and opinions about the game. Keep up the great work!
This is my new main game. Agree about the player base it needs to grow for a variety of reasons. The discord is very active and a lot of people play it on TTS. Cards are awesome and the lore is great. Ridge, the creator, is super cool. The game feels like it's almost grass roots, like I'm playing games against play testers which is sick and will make me a better gamer over all.
The game is fairly easy to pick up, even for people who never played TCGs before. And the way the ip is being developed, really makes me think that there will be a way for everyone to enjoy it. Even non gamers .
I play and buy into every major game release. Out of all of them Alpha Clash TCG is one of my favorite games on the market currently. Flesh and Blood is the only game I put definitely ahead of it, and GA is the other game I'd consider in a similar tier of game design. It just needs an expanded playerbase. It's unfortunate we don't have a following in my area, and weren't able to get a following going with our local lgs. Having played a fair bit of Alpha Clash, and earned invites for their tiered events, I'd actually describe it as more a fusion of a western card game, like mtg, and DBS. The life mechanics and some.of the timings and interactions are definitely more western tcg-like whereas there two tiered hero system and some of the combat mechanics are definitely taken from dbs.
I REALLY don’t like the speckled foil. I know for a fact. It’s the or one of the cheapest foil patterns. I love Alpha. Clash. The only problem is that I already play UVS and SWU. And these games are getting expensive. Although I might stop playing SWU. And play AC. Since you know. SWU It’s always out of stock and no one can get it. 😂

Just more and more really cool looking TCGs coming out.

There are 66 listings for $90 boxes on TCGPlayer for the 2nd set of SWU. Seems like there is plenty of stock of that set.
New foiling for Set 4 that I think you’ll enjoy! 🤝
Its like magic and dragonball
