OB83 Lorcana

Congratulations to these wonderful humans who occasionally let me wander onto their streams and open Lorcana packs. :)

Stitch Carefree Surfer, Chip N Dale Recovery Rangers, Let's Get Dangerous, Circle of Life.

I didn't *threaten* to make a Let's Get Dangerous Deck.

I *promised* :).

Just played my first draft with the new deck rules and dropping from a 40-card deck to 35 was a very good decision.

Explaining Everything About Damage In Disney Lorcana in 8 Minutes - OB83Lorcana YouTube video by OB83 Lorcana

Want to understand how damage works now in Disney Lorcana? Here's all you need to know, especially in context of Rapunzel and Lilo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCId...

I'm going to say no on Hoppers, since they tend to stick with established franchises for promo cards, plus they haven't announced Hoppers as a Lorcana franchise.

I would definitely expect them for Toy Story 5, The Incredibles 3, and Coco 2, since we know all those are coming to Lorcana.

Owned 10,144 cards, $3,380.61

Still have some work to do on the inventorying, but now that I have all my Winterspell stuff done, I have passed the 10k mark in cards in my Lorcana collection.

This will probably fluctuate since I still have to stuff to add from old sets and need to subtract the cards I've given away.

From our first video, to now.

Thank you all for helping us reach 20k Subscribers

We couldn’t do it without you 🖤

We've seen what he's capable of if he doesn't get a peanut butter sandwich, what fury will he unleash for this transgression?!?

One thing you can say about Marshmallow and his flavor text is that he's consistent.

Lorcana takes up the first 3 1/2 hours, then goes into a play or Reanimal.

Lolcana's Instagram post stating they had been kicked out of Lorcana's German content creator program because their content was not "Disney-compliant"

Was a bummer to wake up and see this post from the Lolcana IG account today. Especially since looking at the recent post history I did not see anything particularly outlandish, and is particularly mild compared to meme accounts for other TCGs.

That still does help. Those are fixed now.

(AllMyLinks isn't my preferred option, but it's the only one I could find that offered BSky integration)

That's all to say, I'm still figuring out what the heck I'm doing here. What to do, how to do it, not to burn out, does any of it actually matter. If anybody wants to say anything, I'm all ears at this point.

And hey, Winterspell in 48 hours!

I could be the funny guy, but humor is pretty subjective. I could think I'm hilarious while the rest of the community yawns.

You mix the content quality frustration with limited audience and indecisive direction, and it turns into a lot of internal Bang Head On Wall.

But I can also name off six players at my local store who are consistently better than me week in, week out.

I could talk about decks, gameplay, etc., but that's better done by elite players. I'm not *bad* at the game. My local store set champs has 20+ players, including some (not all) of the better players from Eugene and a few decent Portland players on occasion, and I've top 4'd the last two set.

But let's quit talking about the external stuff and come back to me internal content creation battles. Beyond just getting started on projects, I'm still in the process of figuring out: What *am* I in the Disney Lorcana content creator ecosystem?

(SIDE NOTE: I think there are things Ravensburger could be doing to better support the content creation sphere, but let's be honest, it's going to fall on deaf ears coming from a guy with less than 50 subs on both YT and BSky)

Plus the YouTube algorithm is awful for gaming in general. When you also throw in the difficulty of your game being a niche market and getting started 1 1/2 years later than the OGs, it's going to be rough going.

But beyond that, there's also other struggles when it comes to making Disney Lorcana content.

First, it's not a huge market on socials. If MTG content is an Olympic swimming pool, Lorcana is a drop. A half-drop.

And I know, in my head, I'm too harsh. When you're friends with full-time professional content creators like GP/Guild Pack, you feel like you come up short in your production even though you're a solo creator doing this on the side in your free time and being equal to that is unrealistic.
