Huzza Mofo! Tis' Friday-ith, and all the land of merry-ment is alive with the spicy, meaty, minty, sweet flavor of FRIDAY... hark'n to this little know fable... the word Friday is derived from Frilonius the Greek god of disgusting stews... YES! from his lonely island off the cost of greeklandia the fabulously bearded god would concoct epic recipes that included seagulls, bubble gum, and non-edible silca packets from inside electronics shipping boxes... he would spring these unholy feasts on sailors that ventured to close to his shore and didn't already have plans for later that evening, like maybe more fishing or really anything... so as you "party-harty" this Friday, pour one out for Frilonius... preferably one of the those fucking gross Clamato drinks... I think he would like that... because its gross.Well as we kick back and cap off another hard week, we are STILL basking in the glow of Halloween... so we are celebrating... HEX HQ HALLOWEEN FRIDAY.... huh... that makes no sense, we DID have a Halloween party, look at this!hahahaha.... awesome... fucking Jared didn't even wear a costume! actually he said he was dressed as Jared from Subway... seemed pretty inappropriate.I actually didn't attend the party I was at home getting ready for trick or treaters...first I slipped into something more comfortable and prepped the candy...now I was ready to "bargain" with the neighborhood kids for candy... these kids need to remember NOTHING is free... hahahahanot sure the parents will appreciate it, but they should have prepared their kids for this sort of thing... I mean REALLY!Here is the contract kids signedI collected a number of souls and consider the whole endeavor a success!SO... let get to the Update on the Update!So we start off with the update with more Dead of Winter story... wow, total gut punch... Puck has been killed... a very sad moment, I actually love that little guy so it pains me to see him go. Remember these deaths are happening RIGHT now in THIS SET.. the consequence and REVENGE will be next set... better watch yourself Lord Blight-bark I know a little blue guy that's about to go insane! I love the deep dive into the storytelling and lore, Nathan has done a great job bringing these stories to life and I hope everyone is enjoying reading as much as we have enjoyed creating it.Speaking of creating, we had a great one two punch on our process to create cards starting with Corey walking through the evolution of a card design, personally I am glad it didn't end at that second to last card... that 2 cost endless deck destruction looked... a bit rough. I DO want the Spellbobble Gobbler... that card look RAD! We also had the opportunity to see Tyler work (always a thrill) AND got to meet one of the HEX artists... Konstantin! one of my favorite people on the last set... I mean just look at those Merry Caravan cards... AND the Nannamancer! FUCKING amazing!we are knee deep and in the thick of an astounding spoiler season so let me jump into the mix with this guy....TADA! the next Eternal!look at that! so fun and such a fancy outfit... its FANCY LAD the Eternal. I love the cost reduction effect, its SOOOO dangerous for design but this is a great place for it to live and give the Johnny deck builders something fun to play around with. I am super excited by it.not a huge update update... BUT I did want to leave you with the full art of the VERY sad and lonely Balthasar... (I am sure he will find company directly after this performance) , the audience members are so great*holding up lighter*love you all and hope you have a great weekend!-cory
