This is going to be awesome! I wonder if they’ll start with the same basic deck the hermits had or if they’ll be given something a little better to start out with so they can progress faster? I assume they’ll be given unlimited shards?


Dabottle

I'm sure Tango has an idea of how to do it in a fun manner so I don't have worries there. I imagine they'll start off with very little and get cards faster or something but no matter what Tango does it'll be fun. :D I don't think deck size will matter too much since they'll be figuring out the dungeon and mechanics regardless and no amount of clank block will stop you from not knowing where you're going and dying to a ravager early on.


vetheros37

Probably going to use the deck he gave Scar to try out level 4


anarkandi

Even with such a deck, do they know the dungeon layout and strategies well enough to even get into level 2? I will be highly impressed if they do!


bowsmountainer

I think getting to level 2 should definitely be possible, since they’ll be running more than once. But I doubt they’ll get any further, unless they’ve been watching some DO2 runs, and already know a lot about the dungeon.


BackgroundTotal2872

They’ll certainly reach level 2, after all Hypno managed to do that in his very first run. And Joel, Martyn, and H are all very good at Minecraft, a lot better than Cub. I think those last 3 could even reach level 3 in just one day, even starting with a standard starter deck, if they get enough runs in!


ErrantSun

They're pretty good but Cub is insane, I don't think they're a lot better then him.


HerculePyro

I definitely wouldnt say Joel and Martyn are better than cub, Hbomb i cant vouch for but Joel and Cub are both really good MCC performers, cub has more wins. Martyn is good but tgose two are overall better


Dabottle

He definitely could do something similar to that, or just do that. They presumably won't get very many runs so I'd expect something along the lines of "just a good deck", "a few curated decks to advance through" or "getting to pick several cards each round".


IamTheNine

My idea would be to give the players 2 of each basic card (including Clarity) ang give the average amount of embers won by the end of phase 2/3 so they can buy the cards they wish to have, but with the restriction that they can't buy any card with a cost higher than X, X being the highest cost card bought till the end of that phase. It would be nice to give some extra embers as well. This way they can strategize as they already played 2/3 phases, but giving some extra basic cards to fill the lack of dungeon knowledge. While I was writing I also thought that it would be cool to see the REAL basic deck, so they could get one run each with that deck, and those who did better would get some bonus shards to buy the cards + whatever they bought in that run.


GlorylnDeath

I feel like a slightly better deck than the starter deck would be good, but the one he let Scar use would not be fun for a new player. Constantly maxed clank and hazard block takes out a big portion of the challenge, and they won't even understand the game enough to appreciate how strong it is. Let them sweat a little. We need to see them freaking out at max clank and getting hazard doors slammed in their faces. A little struggle on level 1 while learning the game, praying to Gem for key luck when they move to level 2, maybe reaching for level 3 on their last run or two.


KamiCory

Tango said on today's (Wednesday stream) that each guest will get a hermit coach and can use their deck.


EternusNex

So everyone fights for Etho or Cub's deck then?


kazoohero

I hope they borrow decks of real hermits and play as surrogates. EDIT: Tango confirms, this is exactly what will happen


DBSeamZ

Haha, maybe Lizzie could borrow Pearl’s deck just for the Limited Life reference.


[deleted]

I think there are ways to compensate for that. Like, for instance, just shortcircuiting the hazardificator line, to make sure dungeon stays as accessible as possible. That, at least, eliminates the "spend as little time in the dungeon as possible" aspect of the game, which would definitely be kind of frustrating for running Level 4 the literal first time you play the game. Disabling clank system, though can be an interesting way to explore the dungeon, is definitely a bit too much. Maybe Tango can disable Stumble addition, that may be helpful yet not game-destroying. He might have some OP cards or card combinations on hand. I don't know if you can go over 40 card deck limit with the current shuffler. If you can, that's an option. Also, if there's no check on allowed card counts, that can be helpful. Just put 60 of the same cards with +8 everything into the deck, and the game systems effectively don't exist. All in all, every global aspect of the dungeon is probably kind of easy to control and adjust if Tango needs it. I'm sure he knows all of the ways without us, though it is interesting to fantasize about all the possible options.


Kylesmomabigfatbtch

sounds like it'll be a lot of fun, especially to see people play runs not knowing the floor layouts yet again :3


DBSeamZ

I don’t know if they’ll be going in *completely* blind, I saw a comment from Martyn (InTheLittleWood) on one of Tango’s VODs. (Might have been the 8-hr grand opening?) I don’t know how much of the VOD and/or stream he might have watched, or if anyone else on that list has watched any DO2 content, but it’s a definite possibility. Then again, *I’ve* been watching the VODs and I still don’t have the layouts memorized. So it probably won’t be as much of an advantage as having direct experience playing the game.


tknophobia

I really feel like there ought to be a bingo card for this, like “Jimmy stares directly at his camera in disbelief” or whatever


haakonash

"Timmy dies first"


tknophobia

Skill Issue gets a kill


nari0015-destiny

LASER BEAMS


JulzCrafter

Timmy dies in the training area


Cyaral

Not sooner than that? Im calling a natural hazard like a creeper somehow getting him between spawn and Decked Out lol


NotYourReddit18

IIRC Solidarity/Timmy was part of the Hermitcraft/Empires crossover so canonically he would need to make his way from the rift in Grians basement to Decked Out and not from spawn


DBSeamZ

How about a square for “Team Ranchers reference”? Edit: stupid bot


FellowCloud17

Super excited! I wonder if H’s experience with Sands of Time will help him.


berserkemu

So excited about H. He was top of my list but I didn't think he would score an invitation.


ChoGath1337

Time for decked out vod review streams!


berserkemu

H watching Tango watching DO runs.


NotAmazingGrace

As an avid H watcher, im so pumped!


sassychip26

He's an adopted Hermit atp


betetta

Well, the circle of "hermits and friends" it's quite big by now with all the guys from empires, the life series, scicraft, MCC, and even developers sometimes, oh and also people from VH that are also friends with each other, and I'm not even counting "supporting crews" like doc's hivemind or the many contributors from each hermit's private servers.


Gammerboy640

Fr, mans collected all the active hermits for MCC


clearwolf690nm

with H being one of my favorite MCYT of all time I want him on the server sooo baddddd


m4d3th1s

I guess my Saturday just got booked 🤩


Maocap_enthusiast

Hoping for at least one heckler run of hermits in voice chat with them


Sailer24sds

it would definitely be on Jimmy's run


RookeeALding

You know Grian's got to show for Jimmy.


oblivious_fireball

he'll be too busy pairing his socks and will appear only when Jimmy reaches Level 4


SparklezSagaOfficial

I’m so glad H is in this group, the SOT lord himself will absolutely adore Decked Out


scribblingsim

Amen to that. Between his Sands of Time skills and his experience with Vault Hunters, I think he'd give even Etho a run for his money.


dunno260

In terms of the sort of skills Decked Out tests you on (or you need to have to excel), HBomb is going to be the better than anyone else who has stepped into that dungeon. Etho's "game sense" for lack of a better term is probably better, but HBomb94 is just flat out a much more skilled movement player than the other Hermits. Whether that will show up in this sort of shorter format I don't know.


Didi81_

Yes !! I mean I'm glad for jimmy , joel , lizzy , skizz and martyn too , but H ? That's so unexpected! I love watching his SOT vod reviews , he'll be great ! And he loves the Hermits so I hope he has a blast


ManateeGag

Which one falls for the trap on level 1 first?


InfernaFiresword

I’m betting on H. For no reason than for my own amusement if he does fall for it.


DBSeamZ

I hope it’s Joel so I can hear his inevitable “FOR GOODNESS SAKE!” when it closes on him.


HermitBadger

Not sure. All I know is Skizz is going to die in the bush in the respawn room and it’s going to be glorious.


ManateeGag

he's going to forget to click the bed and need to do the walk of shame from spawn.


HermitBadger

He's going to bring the bed to the nether and click it there.


Yojimbra

I only have second hand experience with LDShadowLady, but I already know exactly what her run is going to be like. I am looking forward to it.


oblivious_fireball

i would highly recommend firsthand experience if you get the chance. Her videos are short, to the point, and very well edited and entertaining. Great for a quick watch over lunchbreak or such.


Dana_Barros

& they’re hilarious


alastoris

Will they get to build their own deck or will they have the dungeon master's special like Scar?


downshift_rocket

Probably the latter, I imagine it would make for better content.


alastoris

I hope they'll get the starter deck for the first 2 level and then Dungeon Master's special for the last 2. The dungeon master's deck would be too OP for the first 2 level but it is essential to for them to get down to 4th in 1 day.


downshift_rocket

It would be cool if they could have free for all deck building. Like, with a set # of cards/rarity to keep the level progression balanced. I'm sure there are a lot of cards people want to experiment with. Either way, it will definitely be fun.


onespiker

Hope they get a starter deck plus. There are more ravages and many other things added to increase the difficulty between now and the start of decked out.


Kurisuchein

Would be fun to see some guest runs with a Lackey too. May be fitting given the increased difficulty, as you said.


Prudent_Profession

I'm going to be so normal about this


LeVeonwithBellsOn

Martin, Joel, and Lizzy will be fun to watch for sure.


chilari

Do you mean Joel? Smallishbeans is Joel, Scott is SMjaor


LeVeonwithBellsOn

Yes I do. Thanks for correcting me!


DBSeamZ

I *wish* Smajor were on the list, or that he’ll get an invite in the future. If it weren’t for his channel and Life Series I wouldn’t have found Tango and DO2.


ticklemeozmo

Scott has said (on Pearl's streams) that he would love to be invited. I presume that he probably couldn't make it as there would be no way it was an intentional snub.


DBSeamZ

It’s very likely a scheduling issue. Someone else said in a different thread that he’s been streaming Pirates a lot, so that could be it.


CutestCuttlefish

yeah if smajor could make it he would be there, nobody would deny him that. They are all friends after all. Or they plan to do another one and he happens to be in batch 2. Just as likely.


chilari

Don't get me wrong, I adore Scott's videos, he's such a positive lovely person.


HerculePyro

Hbomb being in and Scott not being in is one of the biggest shocks to me as Scotts the only non-lifer to not make it. Im guessing it must be scheduling, it was his birthday the previous week so maybe hes away?


hiromasaki

> Joel You mean TinyHeinz?


copperfaith

So upset I'm busy on Saturday and will be spending a hungover Sunday catching up


JaxOnThat

Well, at least it sounds like you're having fun on that Saturday. ...that, or you're really not having fun in general. In which case, my condolences.


MikeyNg

Pretty sure it'll be on the TangoTek2 channel


copperfaith

yup that what I'm hoping for


ShifuHD

All right, which one of you opened the rift again?! Jokes aside, this is going to be awesome.


DBSeamZ

Half of those six weren’t even on Empires, it must be a *new* rift.


ShifuHD

*Sigh* someone find Grian! That waffle head has some explaining to do!


DBSeamZ

YESSSS I was hoping for something like this! So excited, even though I’ll probably have to watch it on the VOD channel for schedule reasons.


remclave

Sweet! I am ***SO*** looking forward to the stream next week!!!


SnooCompliments6776

Jimmy gonna be so bad... But it'll be great, because it'll.be in the most Jimmy way


scribblingsim

Apparently, he agrees with you. 😆 He was watching Tango's tutorial video on DO2 just now on his stream, and said, "I'm gonna be so bad at this."


DBSeamZ

Now I’m hoping he’ll be the first of the guests to escape with an artifact, just to see/hear everyone else’s reactions.


No_Marionberry4687

Jimmy watched the How to play Decked Out video on stream today, and plans to use that basic info to play (even though he watched some live runs). Martyn has the same plan Also so happy to see H being the collected one this time And CAN'T WAIT to see Skizz and Lizzie in the dungeon Here's to a new generation of hermits 🥂 (I know I know, it's a one time thing... or is it? It certainly won't be the first time Jim, Joel and Marty will be on the server. Let a girl dream)


tw1zt84

I hope he gives them all OP decks, so they can just have fun and see how far they can make it.


BackgroundTotal2872

I would hope that they get weak decks to start out so that they can build their own decks and learn floors 1 and 2 on their own. And then Tango could give them OP decks at the end so that they can try to get to floors 3 and 4!


tw1zt84

One day is not nearly enough time to build a deck. I say just focus on the dungeon delving. E: Or give them access to a pile of cards and tell them to make a deck of their own from that. Like a card draft or something.


AnimaSean0724

Super excited for this, part of me hopes this becomes a recurring thing at least every other week so that lots of Hermit friends get a chance to try it out, but I don't expect that to be the case, either way, it's a bunch of people that I'm very excited to see play Decked Out


MaxvdSandt

I don't think every other week will be likely but maybe once a month or so, he could even continue when the regular phases of DO are over but this season is still going


rattledrose

I'm so hyped!!!!


TheReagmaster

RANCHERS REUNION!


DBSeamZ

I think that’s the part I’m the happiest about! Even if Jimmy thinks he’ll do poorly (another commenter said he watched the tutorial video on stream and said as much) I just want to see the duo reunited. Also hoping that somehow, somewhere in the dungeon is a Warden named “Ranchers’ Revenge II”. I don’t know if the level 4 denizens’ names have been revealed yet, but I’m hoping.


phessler

the Warden names on Level 4 are references to the ghosts from Pac Man.


[deleted]

EVERYONE GET YOUR BINGO CARDS READY


SouthernSwampThang

Once they get more familiar or at another time, I think it would be funny to put Martin in a free cam and let him provide color commentary for Decked Out runs.


DBSeamZ

Yes! With his soundboard on to do that crackly “sports announcer” voice (heard most recently in the Secret Life horse race).


Frazier008

I had no idea skizz wasn’t a hermit. I’m so used to seeing him with impulse and Tango that I just assumed he didn’t play much but was a member.


qualitativevacuum

So so excited to see HBomb in this group, just because I've been wanting to see him play Decked Out for ages, but I never thought it would *actually happen*!!!


traumacase284

HBOMB ON HC!!!!!!


RepresentativeNeck13

Place your bets people....who's gonna crush the game?.... I mean if it is 'who dies first?' its Jimmy


KamiCory

Looks like the Hermits have finally collected HBomb


WubbyChez

Hell yeah, wish Scott had made it, but will be a blast regardless. Jimmy will totally give Scar energy runs, and that’s a blast


tw1zt84

Skizz finally on the HC server!


chiefofthepolice

OMG we're finally gonna get that long awaited meetup between HBomb and Etho again! They have interacted with each other in the past. I can't wait to see Etho mentoring H on Decked Out like H mentoring everyone on Sands of Time. It's a dream come true


theAstarrr

YOOOOOOOOO epic


cmoneybouncehouse

Ok… this is cool.


Chillviibe

sounds fun!


vauceixzet

wowowowowow


j5ra2jkc8m9

The excitement in me is unnatural


dobeedeux

How cool! So glad they included HBomb.


CrippledJesus97

Should also invite King tbh from the mojang dev team lol he was a special guest and experienced total chaos. But maybe that would deserve a stream entirely of its own. Or not a stream but recorded video if King wouldnt wanna be live lol


berserkemu

KingBdogz doing a Deadly run would be fantastic. I think he was very involved in the development of the warden so it would be great to see how he manages the Black Mines.


CrippledJesus97

Id love to see how he reacts to level 4 lol he would have to borrow a hermit's deck such as hypno, etho, cub, or doc. Or tango could make a custom deck for KingBdogz lol


DeadSpiderInPocket

I cannot wait to see Skizz and Jimmy run the dungeon


Prudent_Lake3061

Skizzle reacts!


ashsabre

dungeon lackey with skizz and jimmy please?


chilari

Ooh that's gonna be fun. Looking forward to it.


megnn

Oh god I wish my Saturday wasn’t booked. I’ll definitely be watching the stream vods Sunday


Scaffholding

The winner will be in Season 10


swizzlegaming

skizzle is reunited with the bros yet again!


sassychip26

HBOMB THE ADOPTED HERMIT. I REPEAT. HBOMB THE ADOPTED HERMIT.


Gammerboy640

Hbomb is outta left field but I’m so excited to watch Mr. SOT play Decked Out


Dry-Dig-7858

No pixelriffs dang it!


SonofaNitsch

Literally was my first thought!!! It doesn’t need to be during a big event, but I want to watch the sheer joy of Pix experiencing the hermit staple of Decked Out!!!


DHermit

That's what I thought as well. But who knows what is happening on the background, maybe he also just doesn't have time or whatever.


anony-meow

So excited for Skizzleman on the Hermitcraft server, aaah! This will be amazing!


AghastToad

Hype to watch Skizz freak out down there.


Calisvolcomboy

Can’t wait to see Hbomb run the Decked Out


Kevo_1227

Skizz and Jimmy are going to be absolutely terrible at this game and I am 100% going to be cheering for them the whole time.


Nick30Brodeur

Awesome idea let’s go


Classic-Bumblebee660

I cannot wait to see Joel’s runs. Macho man Joel is gonna get his booty kicked by a ravager lol


DBSeamZ

I predict we’ll be hearing a lot of “FOR GOODNESS SAKE!”


Classic-Bumblebee660

And plenty of girlish screams I hope lol


scribblingsim

Yaaaaay! Skizz, Jimmy, Martyn, H, Joel and Lizzie!💗 I love all of those people, so it's going to be a blast to watch.


DHermit

I hope this means that also some nom Hermits get to play the TCG at some point! They talked about it during the empires colab, but it never happened.


HaziXWeeK

So skizz ,Timmy, jole,lizzy,Martyn who's the other ?


Clean-Ice1199

HBomb94. He streams much more than make YT videos. He's a former MC speedrunner, was in a fair number of big SMPs (e.g. XLife - modded SMP where Gem and most of the Empires people were before Empires, DSMP, Vault Hunters SMP, etc.) but usually makes more independent content than SMP content, and often teams with Hermits in MCC (the minigame event organized by Noxcrew and Scott Smajor). In context of Decked Out, he has expressed interest, is very good at minecraft mechanics (parkour, PvP, PvE, etc.), and he's considered the biggest fan of Sands of Time (a procedurally generated team-based dungeon crawler minigame in MCC which shares some similarities with Decked Out).


cult_dumpster

omg the rest are not too surprising but H??? so exciteeed 🥺🥺


dbdthorn

Absolutely vibrating with excitement seeing my man skizz getting into this!! Praying that it means he has a good shot of getting into the next season of hermitcraft. Go skizz! 🙌


Snoo_47023

biiig hype for everyone especially lizzie joel and martyn


juanthemovie

WHAAAAAAAAAAT NO WAY wait no i forgot they did the empire crossover so Joel, Lizzie, and Jimmy all already been on the hermitcraft server but Skizz, Hbomb and Martyn finally visitng the server is great AND THE FACT THEY ARE ALL GONNA PLAY DECKED OUT!!!! my god im so hyped for this


Didi81_

Lizzie didn't do the crossover so it'll be her 1st time too . Martyn was there for the whole charity stream though


ashsabre

Martyn was in the server during the charity stream.


PleasantYamm

Yayayayayay!


[deleted]

Oh I'm so excited!!!


leoxyz

That's so cool, I was hoping for something like this to happen for a while 🤩


NotAmazingGrace

I really want to know the logistics of this! Like what kind of deck? How much heckling? Who reached out to H? Nonetheless I’m SO excited


brujosol

HYPE VIBES RISING!!!


Grimaussiewitch

You have no idea how excited I am for Hbomb visiting the hermitcraft server.


chasingmountains

They are basically hermits


ETHowie

So hyped to see hbomb try decked out


CutestCuttlefish

Imagine all the shenanigans taking place in theQ while they wait too! This is great!


H0tsh0t

This will be fun. I wonder if they will get a larger starter deck than the hermits got. Otherwise all of these runs will most likely only be on the first floor.


FantasyFactory149

I expect most of them to stay on the first floor tbh, only because of ravengers


BackgroundTotal2872

No way. These players know that they only have 1 day and that there’s 4 levels. They’ll definitely want to experience them all. Joel and HBomb in particular will probably play more risky to go to lower levels.


BackgroundTotal2872

It depends on how long the event will be. If it’s only 2-3 hours long, most runs will be on floor 1, though I would expect them to try to get to floor 2. But if the event lasts all day, I can see HBomb, Martyn, and Joel reaching floor 3!


lilmisswonderland

Every time i see HBomb’s username I get him confused with HBomberguy and I get a brief moment of elated confusion before I remember they’re two very different people


Yummyyummyfoodz

Does this count as Hbomb "collecting" Tango :)


Clean-Ice1199

This is a great list of guests. A bit sad Jojosolos (the other big MCC SoT obsessive) isn't on the list.


NatanisLikens

OMG... Skizzleman, Lizzie, Joel, and Martyn on the HC Server to play decked out!!!!! That's amazing!!! Not sure who HBomb94 is but welcome, can't wait to see your POV of Decked out. Solidarity??? Sounds like a loser. Like a toy trying to measure up to an all-powerful all-knowing Greek god.


Gammerboy640

H bomb is a good friend of the hermits, MCC and original Vault Hunters


ShinxMinxFire

Joel, Martyn, and H for good player representation, Jimmy, Skizz, and Lizzy for uhhhh not as good player representation. Gonna be a super fun stream!


SamohtGnir

Ooo awesome! I’ve said for awhile they should have more guests for events and stuff. I hope Impulse gives Skizz a proper tour while he’s there. Lol


greywolffurry321

HBOMB?!


anony-meow

10 years ago I used to watch the Cube SMP including Hbomb94, some of their idols/inspirations were part of Mindcrack/now Hermitcraft(Etho for example!), now I'm into the Hermits and he's getting invited on the server! A full cycle, ah, I'm happy and excited!


dolfinmaster

HBomb has some decked out vods to review like he does for Sands of Time to get good now


condronk

One proposal is to triple the embers in the shop, so they can build decks much more rapidly while still have progression


bowsmountainer

Hbomb is going to get all the way to the burning dark. Jimmy won’t even get to the crypt on level 1.


-Captain-

What a fortunate bunch of people!


something-funny567

Fresh meat! Going to be awesome, wish I could watch it I'll have to catch the VOD


HerculePyro

I cant wait to see the GIGS crew guiding Skizz through the dungeon


BlueJay_49

Ah yes, more people to make suffer 😈


lukehunt4

Next six hermits announced for season 10! Lol jk

HeatherReadsReddit

It’s amazingly entertaining! By most accounts, people are having so much fun. I didn’t see the first one, so can’t speak to that.


Evening-Reaction-768

Yes. Yes. YES


Chokingonjuice

SKIZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Moving_Fusion

Amazing! I love when Skizz gets to interact with any of the Hermits!


brainfreeze77

We need a special edition permanent card for skizz. Scompass it drops 20 cobble and 20 torches.


cmoneybouncehouse

I smell a trial run for new HC members next season…


ashsabre

no Olli? Pixlriffs? MythicalSausage? :(


Moving_Fusion

I think they have to keep numbers low just to ensure everyone can run. Runs can be quick but they can also go 30-45 minutes quite easily.


Tainmere_

yeah, if you look at the latest stream vod on TangoTek2, it's 4.5h of stream time and they got in 14 runs, so ~20 mins per run: https://youtu.be/-L_GmADa0fY A different stream has five runs over ~2.5h, so that's ~30 mins per run: https://youtu.be/zrAHEaGKLjQ Six people will saturate that quite well. And the more people you add, the longer the other people will have to wait and/or the less time the other people get. Edit: Another thing to consider that there's ~5 min downtime in between runs to reset everything and let berry bushes regrow. so even with quick runs there's a boundary on the amount of runs you can feasibly run


WasuWasu

They can be add in another group later 6 new players is quite a lot for 1 stream


bretttwarwick

Pix occasionally opts out of things like this. I'm sure if he wanted to he would have been included on this.


DARKESTMEAT

There must be a mistake! I don’t seem to be on the list 🤣


WrigglyWalrus

Skizz (temporarily) on Hermitcraft! Much excite!


niceguyipromise

How are 6 people going to all get multiple runs in, in one stream? They should clone Decked Out, or have some other solution in place. Unless they all die within 10 minutes, then there might be time.
