What Is Sealed Mode?

Gods Unchained has rolled out a fresh format known as Sealed Mode, hitting the gaming world like a surprise party at a tax audit. This innovative setup allows players to dive into tournaments with a semi-random collection of cards, leveling the playing field for everyone, regardless of whether their card collection looks more like a rookie’s locker or an art museum’s archive. The announcement went live on September 13, and, boy, does it shake things up!

How Does It Work?

To plunge into this new mode, players need to shell out an entry fee of 15 GODS tokens, translating to about $2.65. It’s like buying a lottery ticket, but instead of a car, you get the chance to flaunt your skills! Once you’re in, players get a random selection of three gods and a pool of 60 random cards from various sets like Etherbots and Mortal Judgement. And here’s the kicker – while it’s random, it’s not chaos. Each pool ensures a minimum number of playable cards to help you craft a formidable deck, because who doesn’t want to avoid the dreaded zero-win score?

Deck-Building Dynamics

After receiving their card bounty, players must build a minimum 30-card deck. The catch? You can only use the cards in your given pool, kind of like a buffet with no takeout allowed. This forces players to think strategically and improvise, much like a cook faced with mystery ingredients on a cooking show. You can bet there’ll be some mad geniuses finding ways to whip up winning combos!

Tournament Mechanics

Now that you’ve decked out your ensemble of cards, it’s go-time! Players compete until either defeat knocks them out three times or victory crowns them after seven wins. The players with sharper records will snag better rewards, with some exclusive cosmetics twinkling as the ultimate prize for those who can snag four wins or more.

Why Now? Why Sealed Mode?

In the world of digital trading card games, sealed formats are often overlooked, much like that sock you lost in the dryer. But Gods Unchained aims to change that narrative by ensuring every player can compete on more equal footing, akin to traditional card games like Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh! where sealed or draft tournaments are the norm. Plus, with their cards stored as NFTs on the Immutable X network, it’s a win-win for owning your collection!

Looking Ahead

Gods Unchained has always been a pioneer in the Web3 gaming space, and with new developments like a user-friendly wallet application called “Passport” and the zkEVM testnet, they’re on a roll. These advancements promise to streamline the gaming experience, making it more accessible and enjoyable for everyone!
