$HOW GOOD is each DIVINE RELIC...in Pantheon!? [Grand Archive TCG] It took a bit to get prepared, but the ranking is still valid! Back at the Creators Summit, before the launch of Radiant Origins, I got to sit down with my friends Caban and Isaac of @truechampiongaming - two of the most competitive players Grand Archive has seen - to JOIN THEM in their tradition of rating the Divine Relics! This time, however - we are rating for Pantheon, and let me tell you - I was NOT PREPARED for the truth that would be unleashed during this conversation! Remember - play Pantheon YOUR WAY - Ratings dont matter! But lets have some fun and do it ANYWAY! 0:00 Intro 8:36 Grand Crusaders Ring 14:00 Quicksilver Grail 18:24 Temporal Spectrometer 24:30 Mercurial Heart 26:13 Imperial Seal 29:20 Art of War 32:30 The Looking Glass 37:42 Lost Providence 42:50 Final Ratings & Outro SUPPORT MAINDECK by shopping on TCGPlayer with our affiliate link: https://tcgplayer.pxf.io/maindeck The ULTIMATE How to Play Grand Archive video: https://youtu.be/I_MjH_qyVcI For more Grand Archive info and resources, check out all the links below: 🎴 ** THE OFFICIAL GATCG WEBSITE! ** 🎴 https://www.gatcg.com 📕 ** GATCG RULES ONLINE ** 📕 👇 Official Getting Started: https://www.gatcg.com/article/getting-started 👇 Official Comprehensive Rules: https://rules.gatcg.com/ 👥 **GATCG COMMUNITY** 👥 👇 Join the Discords below: MAINDECK DISCORD: https://discord.maindeck.games GRAND ARCHIVE DISCORD: https://discord.com/invite/grandarchivetcg 👇 GATCG Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/grandarchivetcg/ 💻 ** Deck Builders! ** 💻 https://www.tcgarchitect.com https://silvie.org/ https://shoutatyourdecks.com/ 👇 Grand Archive TCG Analysis and Other Tools! https://silvie.gg/ 👇 GATCG Tournament Results: https://fractalofin.site/ #GrandArchive #TCG #GATCG #tradingcardgame ► We are supported by our generous patrons on Patreon - check out the link here and consider supporting us for bonus perks and behind the scenes content: https://www.patreon.com/maindeckgames ► Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MaindeckGames/ ► Written content, resources and more at: http://www.maindeck.games 🎵 Music from Epidemic Sound!! 🎵 Get access to a huge music library for a small monthly fee.
