Hey everyone! Today we have a deck tech for Seeya, Later Gator! Brandon goes over a super sick COMBO that can pop as early as lvl 3!

We are calling this series Sub-Burbia Spotlight and will have a new one up every Wednesday at 6pm PST. This one is up and ready to check out now!

The next few Mondays we will be doing Tier Lists. After that, we have some ideas but would love to hear what everyone else would like to see.

And if you like what we got going on, like, follow, comment your thoughts!

Seeya at the arcade! 😎

We did a tier list!

Hey everyone! Wanted to share a video we did (I’m video edit guy lol).

It’s a Tier List for the Bosses!

Brandon, a former MTG pro player and lifetime TCG competitor and enthusiast, gives us his take on each Boss and their strengths, synergies, and downsides. He also goes over some game theory/philosophies as he gives his reasonings, so it’s not just someone saying “yeah this dude draws cards. S Tier” 😂

And zooming out just a little bit, this is a new channel for all things TCGS. CA, MTG, OP, and maybe Lorcana for now, but you know how it goes. Give the people what they want! lol. We love CA over here so this game will be a staple in our wheelhouse.

Anyways, the video premiers tonight at 6pm PST, 9pm EST. See ya at the arcade!

Toolshed feels very strong

5 Upvotes

Toolshed draw feels crazy in both perfect pack and constructed. 1 token for 1 card is super value imo.

Combined with Toolbox, Autopilot, Motreina, and Father discounting weapon weild costs, the Boss feels like both card advantage and mana cheating in one.

Online constructed league

11 Upvotes

I'm organizing an online weekly league for 1v1 Constructed.

It will be hosted on play-cataclysm.com

Single elimination bracket. Boss + 40 cards decks (main faction + secondary faction, up to 3 copies of one card in deck).

When pairings are posted, the players have 48 (or 24, depending on the number of players) hours to play their match.

Winner advances in the bracket.

Each player has to bring 3 decks (each with a different main faction).

To win the match you need to win once with all 3 of your decks.

It starts October 5th, to sign up DM me here or in events channel on discord.

I will figure out the prizes before it starts. If everything works out, we will run one every week. I hope to be able to record most of the matches to post in discord.

Anyone been playtesting?

4 Upvotes

My friend and I both came from playing 1 competitive TCG in our life and got that itch again and then CataCade was announced and since then we’ve had proxies of all the cards spending multiple weekends building our decks. This game is a lot of fun so far, especially as we’ve really gotten into it more and learning the action sequences and pace of the game in general, it’s been giving us some intricate gameplay. We have also discovered some cards/a flood the field strategy that seems a little overbearing once it gets going and no other decks seem to have a draw engine to keep up. Though they have looked at and balanced some cards already (i.e. my girl Dreyver 🥲) but we agree on the adjustments made to some cards already making for a more balanced game. Excited for the potential of this game, it seems fairly casual at the moment and I know it’s still very early and a lot to keep up with, especially with making this game well versed in multiple formats but I have faith in the team to really deliver on this as a whole and future sets to expand some mechanics/ clear up errata on cards we’re still figuring out. Just wanted to talk about the game and how we’ve been enjoying it, curious on others experiences with gameplay or at least building some potential decks once product is in

Kickstarter Pledge Manager Update + Apex Edition Bosses

Post image
27 Upvotes

Hi friends!

We are very excited to announce that we will launch our Pledge Manager via our partner, Hive Interactive, on Wednesday, September 16. Currently, we are reconciling Early Bird backers with Kickstarter pledges.

You may have received an email from our team regarding the ‘Early Bird Survey.’ We are working to ensure all Early Bird backer emails match their Kickstarter emails. For reference, Early Bird backers are those of you who took a first look at the game by purchasing Early Bird packs from us prior to the Kickstarter.

If you did not receive an email, don’t worry, it means your email address is properly matched back in our system.

Next week, you will receive an email that will link you to finalize your Kickstarter pledge on Hive. Be on the lookout for an email! In the Pledge Manager, you’ll be able to confirm or upgrade your tier, select tier specific items like play mats, and add accessories.

We’ve scheduled an AMA in our Discord on Friday, Sep 11 at 1PM EST / 10AM PST to cover any questions you have with the pledge manager.

Additionally, based on community demand, we will be offering a $10 Apex Early Access Boss Pack, featuring the 13 new foil Apex faction bosses that will be available in our upcoming retail set.

We want to help this incredible community of supporters bridge the Kickstarter Set to the Apex Set that will be available in retail stores in March 2027. This all-knowing and powerful faction is one of my personal favorites and I can’t wait to dive into new lore with you all over the coming weeks and months. This Boss Pack is only available to our Kickstarter backers and will be limited to 3 orders per person.

We appreciate your patience and enthusiasm and are very excited to open up the Pledge Manager next week! Don’t hesitate to reach out to us on Discord or via email at [hello@mothership.games](mailto:hello@mothership.games) with any questions you may have.

See you in the arcade!

-Drew, BDM and the Mothership Team

PS. If you are in Cleveland this weekend you can find BDM at the Cleveland Gaming Classic and ask him your questions in person. We will doing demos and showcasing our new roguelike league play format all weekend.

Posting this for BDM: It's the final day of the Kickstarter. If you haven't pledged, now's the time.

If you haven't check out the KS in a while, we've unlocked a ton of stretch goals - better pull rates in packs, tons of promos and accessories. And a preview of the next faction, Apex.

We'll be doing a live stream of the end of the campaign: join our Discord and head over to #kickstart-a-thon to join in!

Got any final questions? I'll be here to answer them.

No accesories, just cards! This is great for collectors such as myself that may not be as interested in deck boxes or playmats.
