Unless you think GtG is incompetent or blatantly lying you don't really have anything to worry about. They've been saying the box will hold everything since the very beginning and those are the only two reasons it wouldn't (if built to their specifications).

Rationally, I don't think either of those things. Irrationally? My brain is screaming at me that it's a wasted purchase, etc. But thanks for saying that, it helps.

Brain chemistry sucks.

A fact I've considered. It would be extremely irritating, but I'm aware it's stupid to feel like that.Hats off for the sleeves joke though.

My expectation is that my fully sleeved cards will likely require some placing of decks in non-standard drawers.

It would be easy enough for them to test their prototype, although they may be testing with thinner sleeves.  Hopefully they can reassure us that they've done this.

I'm already wondering if it's worth buying a few deck boxes just for character cards (heroes and villains) and variants, just so I can get as many cards in the right place as possible.

I prefer things to be in their proper place.

Guise would like me to tell you he doesn't like to wear sleeves because, and I quote: "Are you serious? -flexes- Do you see these babies? Why would I hide these under some fabric? Now Legacy, eh... Don't get me wrong, Legacy's great, but I mean, come on now. -flexes again- Can he match these?"

Per this update it should be fine and I've put the one line in bold

Quote:

And here we have every single card in SotM in four trays! This even includes mock-ups of all the decks releasing with OblivAeon. There is plenty of extra room for sleeves if you want to go that route, and if not, the foam blocks will keep your cards snug and secure! Also, the punchboard divider cards are awesome and way more durable than cardstock dividers.

To me, at least at the minute, there is a difference between the bolded sentence and there being a clear statement that there is enough room. It's the difference between 'should' and 'will'.

I'm not saying GtG should buy sleeves and sleeve every card (because that is extremely expensive and time consuming), it's the ambiguity of everything I remember reading is just getting to me. I know this is in all likelihood a mountain/molehill situation and I apolgise for dragging everyone through it with me.

Man...every time I see a preview, I start getting hyped again...

I'm looking forward to seeing the full thing in action!

EDIT: I have been sufficiently reprogrammed by local Moderator X4P8DM0, username arenson9, and now feel inextinguishable desire for the Oblivaeon event, and while I enjoy the prospect of new heroes and new environments to play with, they do not overshadow the final fight against the destroyer of the Multiverse.

Note: Occasionally, I am overwhelmed with sudden urges to eat BBQ Twist Fritos while reading Rook City Renegades books 27-43, during an audiobook listening of Plato's The Republic. I am currently going to see John about running through and looking for bugs in my Unity. May have some possible correlation with the fact that while arenson9 was getting a drink during my reprogramming, I noticed a lone purple and yellow figure talking about pouches in the distance.

Yes. Please report for reprogramming immediately.

From the Chokepoint episode of the Letters Page podcast, it sounds like Chokepoint is stuck in the ruins of the Celestial Tribunal floating in space somewhere, so Sanction is most likely just what used to be the Adjudicator and not the whole Tribunal.

Makes me curious how the Adjudicator got separated from the Tribunal.

I infer that was a result of the Chokepoint battle.  We know she "won" and basically shut down the station's AI.  One way that could be accomplished would be by lobotomizing it of the core AI, the Adjudicator.  One could even interpret that as a function of Chokepoint's basic ability, separating metal objects into their core components, in this case separating the AI from the station itself.

I admit, I'm curious as well, particularly with the information we have about how the whole Tribunal event was resolved. I wonder if Sanction is a rogue which resulted from that event or something even older, maybe a fragment of the AI? Though I do kinda wonder if Chokepoint isn't responsible as well...
