Ten years ago, your Going Analog hosts Christina and Shoe were obsessed with the digital collectible card game SolForge. Sadly, the daily (and nightly) sessions of lane-based combat mixed with a revolutionary upgradable-card system went away when the game eventually sunsetted (solsetted?). But, Richard Garfield (Magic: The Gathering, Android Netrunner) and Justin Gary (Ascension, Shards of Infinity) knew their co-design still had some...ahem, magic to it, so they revived it via Kickstarter as a tabletop experience, SolForge Fusion. Now SolForge is full-circling its career by returning to its original format. This time, however, the new digital game will work with its physical counterpart on a truly ambitious new platform. We chat with Richard and Justin about SolForge and SolForge Fusion's interesting journey, with its ups and downs and ups again -- and what fans can expect from the franchise moving forward.  Timeline: 3:32 - Going Analog's game pick: Critter Kitchen. 6:36 - Richard & Justin's pick: Dominion. 13:01 - Richard & Justin & Going Analog's combo topic: SolForge's journey from digital to physical and back to digital.

Something Jurch could never pull off in his years in church basketball: a crossover! We were invited onto the Shufflebus live YouTube show with ShufflebusJesse and ShufflebusNeil to talk about the meta, play some games and just enjoy each others' content.The Shuffle Bus: https://youtube.com/@TheShuffleBusOur email: thechargeplatedpodcast@gmail.comOur Patreon: patreon.com/thechargeplatedpodcastOrigins Game Fair Sealed Championship: https://events.solforgefusion.com/event/BUA04FMAK7League of Champions: https://events.solforgefusion.com/event/NHUGL8Y93RHashtag Gaming Arena Store Championship: https://events.solforgefusion.com/event/VNBU4Q8DC0Hammerhead Games Store Championship: https://events.solforgefusion.com/event/6YT2FXYJWGMooreThanMoost Ironbeard Event: https://events.solforgefusion.com/event/4MDJ6UAU3L Nathas decks: https://solforgefusion.com/decks/aefbj9fjzh9ahjihy8ivmlh5mo3omr https://solforgefusion.com/decks/aefb2lcqbdwqhgsinrm41rf0rhnsyt https://solforgefusion.com/decks/aefb15cqbf62g9rgblh10h9ahgsivm

On this episode of the Charge Plated Podcast, Jurch and Fizzlesticks catch everyone up on the rich and impactful lore of SolForge Fusion and how current conventions (like UK Games Expo, Origins and GenCon) shape not only future prize support but the entire direction of the game! Jurch also gets called out for calling a card "slow" which leads to really good discussion!SHOW NOTES UNDER CONSTRUCTION!Our email: thechargeplatedpodcast@gmail.comOur Patreon: patreon.com/thechargeplatedpodcastOrigins Game Fair Sealed Championship: https://events.solforgefusion.com/event/BUA04FMAK7League of Champions: https://events.solforgefusion.com/event/NHUGL8Y93RHashtag Gaming Arena Store Championship: https://events.solforgefusion.com/event/VNBU4Q8DC0

Unlike one particular faction, the Charge Plated Podcast actually WAS in Denver for TCG Con where one of us played in the Ultimate Championship and the other ran it! We dive into how Fizzlesticks did the only way I know how (with food analogies and silly games) and we preview a bunch of upcoming events.Also, we are nearing the end of the first season of the Charge Plated Podcast (after 50 episodes) and will take a two week hiatus to spend time with family and try to come back a little less mediocre. We have guests lined up, technology to spoil and a collaboration with the Shufflebus team on the docket before the finale.Our email: thechargeplatedpodcast@gmail.comOur Patreon: patreon.com/thechargeplatedpodcastUK Games Expo: https://events.solforgefusion.com/event/L6PQK7URXNOrigins Game Fair Storyline Event: https://events.solforgefusion.com/event/T80LCGU59TOrigins Game Fair Sealed Ultimate Championship: https://events.solforgefusion.com/event/BUA04FMAK7DragonriderTCCG Channel: UCpl6-_9sRg13is3CmVo3sTwDreamers Vault Champlin Store Championship: https://events.solforgefusion.com/event/D8K0MMATBEDreamers Vault Minneapolis Sunday event: https://events.solforgefusion.com/event/8U7KJBWTY6Hashtag Gaming Arena Store Championship: https://events.solforgefusion.com/event/VNBU4Q8DC0

Surprise! We're dropping this episode early to give weary travelers something to nourish them on their way to Colorado for TCG Con Denver.

Content warning for anybody listening with children or the faint of heart: this episode contains Jurch's dirty words in the gaming world. No, not those words! Terms such as "meta," "op," and "broken," which are commonly misused in games--including SolForge Fusion--so we look to clear up the improper uses and discover if they actually do exist in the world of Solis.Our email: thechargeplatedpodcast@gmail.comOur Patreon: patreon.com/thechargeplatedpodcastThe Bracket and where to vote: https://forms.gle/Dbh4pBfqgM1HyQNA9JusticeBlinded TCG Con Indy Meta Analysis Episode: Meta Analysis - TCG-Con Indianapolis - April 1, 2023TCG Con Denver: https://events.solforgefusion.com/event/2L2FEYTXPN

For the first time EVER on the Charge Plated Podcast, we revisit a topic because we got wiser on it: the secondary market for SolForge Fusion decks. I'm talking eBay, flash sales and finding sweet spots in negotiations. We try to play some Heads Down, Thumbs Up and Always-Sometimes-Never before running too long.

Whenever there's a rules question in the world of Solis, all eyes turn to Nicklypuff (aka Nick Fletcher) for guidance. We sit down with Nick to discuss batching, formatting and the recent MadLab errata to get the story straight.

It took Jurch two extra days to double- and triple-check his math on this one, but we are throwing a math-centric episode at you all focusing on combination and permutation calculations of one and two-card combos in SolForge Fusion. How likely is it to power level an Arboris for three straight deck cycles? Or what are the chances you can get Thundersaur and Chant of Umbruk out to maximize the impact? We talk numbers and let you decide if it's a risk you're willing to take.Also, Jurch sings a little bit.

https://werenotwizards.blogspot.com/2023/01/solforge-fusion-review-stone-blade.html This review is based on the retail version of the game provided to us by the designer and publisher. We were not paid for this review. We give a general overview of the gameplay and so not all of the mechanical aspects of the game may be mentioned.   The majority of the games that we are play are going to take a reasonable number of sessions and playthroughs to fully understand every possibility that they offer. We hope this write up gives you an idea of whether or not this game is something that you will consider playing or even add to your collection. Our Six Degrees of Expectation have been written to make it easier for you to find out what is important to you as a player. Even if we don't like something, hopefully it helps you to decide if it is something that you should find out more about. We always suggest you check out a gameplay video to give you a better understanding of the game as it is played.   If you would like to support more written pieces on the blog then please consider backing us on Patreon. www.patreon.com/werenotwizards   OUR LINKS OF NOTES (https://linktr.ee/werenotwizards) Apple Podcasts   |  Our Blog, Reviews, Previews and Thoughts | Our YouTube Channel Our BGG Guild | Board Game Geek Page | Website  | Facebook |Twitter | Instagram Buy Some Merch
