The Charge Plated Podcast

Man, GenCon 2023 had so much action, news, spoilers and top-cut misses that we couldn't possibly release the episode on time. We recap Jurch's World Championship adventure, shout out all the spoilers coming your way and put a nice bow on the second GenCon for the Charge Plated Podcast! Our YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/@TheChargePlatedPodcast Our email: thechargeplatedpodcast@gmail.com Our...

GenCon 2023 was a whirlwind of SolForge Fusion highlights: spoilers, storylines, the digital client and so much more! We begin our month-long GenCon recap by interviewing the newly-crowned World Champion of SolForge Fusion: Sam Nathanson (aka Nathas)!

We're back! What did we miss? The Charge Plated Podcast returns for a second season with a few improvements (regretably, not to the talent though). We catch up with Jurch and FizzleSticks prior to GenCon with all the news, a few previews and a little something that's been Fizzlin for a long time. So glad to be back! Our email: thechargeplatedpodcast@gmail.com Our Patreon: patreon.com/thechargeplat...

We've finally reached the end of Season 1 of the Charge Plated Podcast. FizzleSticks and I go over the big SolForge Fusion events on the horizon, reminice about Season 1 and give a few previews about what could be in store for Season 2. We wrap up with an excellent discussion about a specific card where I am patently less-than-articulate and FizzleSticks grills me. See you all in a few weeks! Our...

Anothere week, another guest? I sit down with Anque--frequent contrirbuter to all SolForge Fusion content--to talk about the impending Kickstarter of the official Nexus tracker!

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.

Few things in the world of SolForge Fusion give me greater joy than spending time with Sceadeau D'Tela, whom we invited back onto our show to discuss where we're at with the digital client, potential changes to the renown system and even discussions on the meta. Definitely appointment podcasting! NOTE: Apologies for this episode coming out so late. If you listened to the original, there were major...

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 CONSTRUCTIO...

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 episode...

Surprise! We're dropping this episode early to give weary travelers something to nourish them on their way to Colorado for TCG Con Denver. We dive deep into how to stop the Rumblespark Energy/Embodiment from ruining your Colorado competitions and keep your SolForge Fusion experience a Denver delight. Also, we FINALLY class up our show after weeks of mediocrity. Our email: thechargeplatedpodcast@gm...

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: thechargeplatedpodcas...

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. Also, please vote in the Bracket Beatdown Forged Four! Our email: thechargeplatedpodca...

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. Also, there's been a major update to the Forge Guardian program and we have the deets!

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 impa...

On this episode of the Charge Plated Podcast, we wrap up our look into Set 2 Battle for Whitefang Pass by taking a closer look at all the Solbind pairs.

Not to mention an important update from TCG Con Indianapolis and some changes for TCG Con Denver! Our email: thechargeplatedpo...

We take a slight detour from our regularly-scheduled Battle for Whitefang Pass faction preview to cover everything TCG Con Indianapolis from last weekend.

SolForge Fusion is popping up at conventions left and right and we would like to give some tips and tricks for the different types of SolForge Fusion events one could attend or host. We get classy with a double corrupt deck and spoil a few Set 2 Battle for Whitefang Pass cards along the way.
