  • +1 box of New Capenna
• Murders at Karlov Manor spoilers start tomorrow (prerelease is on uncharity so we will have to do a release)

SNOM

• It's coming

Ravnica Remastered Draft

• EOI didn't show enough interest for us to really have it be worth it

Club decks: Gibbis Document

• They are real
• Jackie wants Gibbi to worry about uncharity more than the club decks
• Gibbi:
  • Gibbi will finish building/playtesting the club decks
  • Gibbi doesn't think the decks are balanced against each other
  • Hoard mana base is slow
  • The club decks should all teach things
  • Darksteel Forge -> Nev's Disk is "fucked"
    • Agreed
• Chris:
  • Decks have good variety, may not match up to the rest of the pod
  • Goals are simple but aren't implied by the commander, which can make it a little bit more confusing
• Alistair:
  • Current decks are "intro friendly"
  • Beginner player w/ good deck won't necessarily beat a seasoned vet with worse decks
  • He hates tutors
  • Be careful
  • Are always going to be weaker than the average members deck
  • There are paragraph descriptions of the full deck list and strategy that exist on the club Archidekt page
    • May need to advertise this link before
  • Hoard mana base is slow (duh its 5 colour)
  • Repeating mistakes is bad, as such I impart my wisdom unto Gibbi, the new keeper of the decks
• Oscar:
  • Strategy guide with deck in deck box would be pog
• Gibbi's Plan:
  • Happy to make 3 new club decks
    • With a budget for cards, sleeves, boxes
    • Gibbi is thinking of a per deck price of about $150 + tokens, $20 for sleeves, $15 for deck box
      • As an estimate, one deck in particular is way under this budget
    • Happy to go 50/50
    • Sounds like a good plan
      • Quite cheap
    • No budget approval yet, get a sleeves and deck box budgeted as well as actual deck lists
    • Update us along the way
    • $640 MAXIMUM PRICE MAX
      • Almost definitely lower
    • No new assets until tenancy applications come back
      • Which will be soon right hahahah!
• Club decks being owned by the club is good so that as members come and go we don't have to keep contact with them, can edit them without permission of people who have moved on from Unigames

James' Donations: Poker Set

• Normal playing deck is not sufficient
  • Having the chips is "kinda necessary"
  • tracking with chips is a lotttttt easier than using dice
    • bit of a nightmare
  • Chris: If we are getting a poker set and we aren't gambling then the chips lose their meaning and the game is played differently
    • Hannah: Perfectly fine to play it as a non-gambling game
  • Emerald:
    • 1. If we support traditional games then we should definitely have a poker set
    • 1. You can't bet money on any of our games this isn't specific to this (despite the context)
    • 1. Fake money in the club is good to have around for all sorts of uses, events, games etc
    • 1. Not really any good reason not to accept this
  • Chris: Has jumped the fence
  • Gen: Chips good
  • We can put a note inside saying not to gamble on UWA property
  • Motion to accept the poker set as a donation vote:
    • Accepted unanimously
