| Whispers from the Maze Setlist Review - Yzmir | 09 Aug 2025 | 01:24:54 | |
This is something new that we have been wanting to do (Chile mostly), and so we are excited to announce that we uploaded our first videos to YouTube, which will also be available on Spotify! We are very excited and a little apprehensive about this, but please be sure to leave feedback either in the comments or on Discord! These videos will be release for each of the six factions after the release of each set, along with our thoughts on what cards we think may see competitive play, and what cards might be left behind. We honestly had a blast recording these, and we sincerely hope that you enjoy whatever the heck we’re are going to be calling this in the future!

Welcome back to Adventurer Spotlight, where we sit down and showcase amazing members of the Altered Community! This week, we have the opportunity to sit down and talk to the winner of the Gamers Guild Arizona Tournament: Trickster! Chile and Trickster had a great time talking about a lot of the value that can come from this game, and about how to potentially keep both collectors AND players happy. Funnily enough, we talked about what Equinox could do to help incentivize players to keep buying boxes, and they did that! We also talk about the early meta and how changes to cards definitely affect competitive innovation! We hope you're ready and excited for this new episode from a Hero's Guide to Asgartha!

Hear about his inspirations and where it all started! We hope you're ready and excited for this new episode from a Hero's Guide to Asgartha!

| Adventurer Spotlight - BlueOakTV | 24 Jul 2025 | 01:13:26 | |
Welcome back to Adventurer Spotlight, where we sit down and showcase amazing members of the Altered Community! This week, we sit down with the rival to the OG Cohlrabi, the infamous (and extremely handsome) BlueOakTV! Thankfully, we were able to record inside the facility where Blue was being held, so we were able to get the inside scoop on his story as an Altered content creator, caster, and overall ne'er-do-well that he is! Not only were we able to get his side of the story, but we were able to coax out his favorite hero (who is a certain purple-hatted Exalt that will remain unnamed for safety purposes). Listen to the greatest insults AND the most shocking insults this side of Asgartha! We hope you're ready and excited for this new episode from a Hero's Guide to Asgartha!

| Adventurer Spotlight: Gnomeschool | 16 Jul 2025 | 01:03:19 | |
Welcome back to Adventurer Spotlight, where we sit down and showcase amazing members of the Altered Community! This week, we sit down with one of the phenomenal artists who has been making amazing alternate art tokens, Gnomeschool! And to be fair, the Grems were so jealous that they messed with the audio AND delay for this episode. We tried our best to fix what we could, but the Grems are sneaky and good at their chaotic shenanigans. Gnomeschool is an extremely talented artist who works on some of the most detailed tokens for Altered TCG. We talked about his creative processes behind the artwork that he uses for his tokens, and the inspirations that he uses for certain artistic flair pieces that he puts into his tokens, like Ratatoskr! Not only do we talk about his art, but also some passion for the lore that he has and the future that the game has ahead of it! Check out his links to his Carrd and his Esty shop to look at his amazing pieces! We hope you're ready and excited for this new episode from a Hero's Guide to Asgartha!

| The Tumult Times: Learn to Play Altered Adventure #1 | 14 Jul 2025 | 00:51:02 | |
Welcome back to The Tumult Times, the most adventurous way to find out about the latest Altered news! In this episode, we'd like to welcome our return guest, Niveus! Niveus, who is the owner and organizer of the Utah/Idaho regional Discord server, helped us with a Learn to Play event at The Dragon's Keep in Orem, Utah! This was a very fun event that we were able to help with, and we actually had a fairly decent turnout! However, this was also a great opportunity to learn about running Learn to Play events, and what we can do to help those events be more successful. We were able to look back and reflect on the event as a whole and we make some insights on what helps make these events become regular events. If you're interested in running Learn to Play events and how to turn those into regular Organized Play events, this "primer" might be for you!

| Adventurer Spotlight: LOKINOX | 09 Jul 2025 | 01:39:56 | |
Welcome back to Adventurer Spotlight, where we sit down and showcase amazing members of the Altered Community! This week, our episode is being held hostage by the face of Altered itself, Senior Community Builder Lokinox. We would request a negotiator. Not only is Lokinox the face of the community and is an integral part of making the community a better, more inclusive space, he is also in a lot of marketing for Altered, and even has his own Boss card! From playmats to tokens, it's very hard to not see his face everywhere. But more than that, we were able to talk about the real passion that he has for the game, for the Team at Equinox, and for trying to make this as successful as possible. It was very heartwarming to hear the King of Chaos himself get philosophical with Altered and how much he believes in Altered and in the vision that Altered has for the future.

Welcome back to The Tumult Times, your kindest and smoothest way to find out about the latest Altered news! In this episode, we'd like to welcome our return guest, KelonGuy! KelonGuy was able to watch and help be a part of the streams for the World Championship Qualifiers, so he is here to offer some insights and report on the Lille tournament! Not only are we talking about Lille, but we also are talking about the new set and hero that were released, as well as our theories of what is going to happen to the Expeditionary Corps moving forward! One note that we would also like to make about the last segment is that we do not currently have all of the information on what happened at Lille during the quarter-finals and the semi-finals. But we hope that with talking about it, we can move forward in a way that is fair and that helps make this subject a lot clearer. we only hope to bring as much objective information as possible and what we think are possible outcomes, and maybe put a little of our own opinions on at the end. However, please remember to be kind to one another and always try to be understanding in difficult situations. We hope you're ready and excited for this new episode from a Hero's Guide to Asgartha!

Welcome back to Adventurer Spotlight, where we sit down and showcase amazing members of the Altered Community! This week, we were extremely lucky to talk to Runefolk, create and mastermind behind the "hostage" deck! Not only that, but Runefolk and Nick are also the ones who are deck tinkerers, where they look at a mechanic in Altered and say, "I want to try that thing".

Welcome to the next chapter of The Appendix, where we cover gameplay aspects and mechanics found in Altered! In this episode, we go over the very rare and very elusive status of Eternal! We had a great time talking about this mechanic and how it could be viable in standard play, which factions do it best, and what we could see for other factions and cards in upcoming sets! This particular status is a difficult one to implement, but there are definitely other factions that do it better than others! We hope you enjoy this episode of the Appendix and have a fun time trying to implement Eternal into your own decks! A Hero's Guide to Asgartha is unofficial content created by fans of Altered.

For those of you who don't know (like Nick) what 39cards is, it is a website that aggregates a lot of the data from Boardgame Arena to show what the current meta state looks like for the online tournament space! And that takes a lot of dedication and passion, especially since Taum does all of this for free! Not only that, he is the developer of a new website that takes scanned uniques from the Altered.gg website, and lets you search those uniques! Taum is a fantastic developer, and has so much passion for this game, and is such an invaluable part of the Altered community! All that and so much more in this episode of Adventurer Spotlight!
