If you’re looking for unfiltered passion, creative deck-building, and a healthy dose of humor, look no further than Shaun - better known as 

community. A self-proclaimed “all-around nerd,” Shaun brings a mix of gameplay, comedy, and hands-on projects to his YouTube channel, 

, piloting his favorite decks, or cracking jokes with viewers, Shaun’s energy is infectious.

We caught up with Shaun to talk about his journey with 

, his favorite Geomancer deck, and the strategies that will make you a rock star! Here’s what he had to say:

Shaun: What’s up, nerds! It’s your boy Shaun; aka Neatherlingz. I’m an all-around fellow nerd - big into games, D&D watching, statue collecting, and anime enjoying (adjusts glasses I don’t have). Cards have been part of my life since I was a wee lad, and I’ve been playing Sorcery since it hit Tabletop Simulator - crazy to think it’s been two years already!

I love teaching new players and throwing hands in the Contested Realm, so if you’re ever looking for a match, hit me up on Discord. Let’s play!

Tell us about your favorite deck - what’s it all about?

 (because, you know, Geomancer). The deck is all about burrow and void walk, with the goal of completely outmaneuvering your opponent. I want them to never feel comfortable leaving their side of the map.

The deck revolves around summoning in the void and crawling your way underground. It’s built to overwhelm opponents with a swarm of creatures—34 minions in total! Most of them avoid damage while burrowed, and others are tanky enough to withstand spells. Even if your board gets wiped, this deck has the draw power and staying power to keep the pressure on.

What are some of the key cards in the deck?

This spell is a cornerstone for positioning. Paired with burrowed creatures, it lets you ambush from beneath your opponent’s feet or you can scout their hand with 

 and spread out or borrow to avoid things like 

. If nothing else, you can always just bash face with it—barbaric but effective!

These are absolute powerhouses. Combined with the deck’s movement spells, they slowly drain your opponent’s mana while shifting the battle in your favor.

 give you ways to regain control when you’re falling behind. Whether it’s burying your opponent’s board, stripping their card advantage, or gaining the

This deck utilizes moment spells to allow your end-of-turn minions to be more effective. Use 

into position or create a surprise splash attack using Infernal Legion. 

—it’s an MVP for maneuvering burrowed creatures across the map. It’s like running a Seal Team 6 operation underground, and your opponent will never know what hit them! Again it can't be said enough, thanks to 

allows you to move to the sites bordering your opponents, unburrow, and then you can attack! Your opponent can never be comfortable unless they want to feel the might of your superior movement.

What are the deck’s strengths and weaknesses?

Shaun: The deck excels in positioning - it’s all about outsmarting your opponent and keeping them guessing. The overwhelming numbers and quick movement create constant pressure.

The biggest weakness? Water and flying units. You’ll need to carefully position your sites to mitigate their advantage, and cards like 

 become essential for dealing with flyers.

What inspired this deck, and why do you love playing it?

Shaun: If you couldn’t tell from my username, I’m a massive Starcraft fan - my name is a mix of “Shaun” and “Zerglings.” This deck embodies the Zerg playstyle: quick movement, overwhelming numbers, and hitting your opponent in unexpected ways.

It’s also super satisfying against certain strategies like 

 Druid decks. Plus, there’s nothing more thrilling than using movement spells to land a surprise attack or secure the final blow with your Avatar!

Shaun: I’m looking forward to just playing Sorcery! Each Avatar brings a unique set of tools and with more and more cards being added the combinations are already insane. We are only going to get more to play with in the years to come and I’m here for it.

 content creator on YouTube, joins us today to share his insights into a dynamic Flamecaller deck he’s calling 

Tailored for aggressive plays and explosive turns, this deck is perfect for those who want to experience those unmistakable moments that make Sorcery a standout in the TCG world. 

So, get get ready to blast your enemies with a giant fireball and scorch a path across the realm!

 I began my Sorcery journey before the Beta release, learning from Zalem and Haine. I lost more games than I can count, but each loss taught me something I didn’t know before. Starting my YouTube channel, 

, was a way to share what I’ve learned. I want to play against the best players, and the best way to do that is to help people be their best! 

Bruce: I really enjoy playing aggressive lists and making my opponent respond to my actions. With my old decks (like Avatar of Earth) the goal was always, “How can I punch more often and harder?” With the release of 

, I realized there were so many Avatars from Beta I hadn’t fully explored.

 is based on a deck from a local player at my LGS, Rob, centered around the Flamecaller and playing a lot of charge minions and air for movement. It’s right up my alley to be aggressive and then have a big fireball finisher

Bruce: There are a few cards that are key components of this deck.

Blink, Flanking Maneuver, and Grapple Shot are cards that let you outplay your opponent. I like to think of these as the ‘instants’ for 

 They are hard for your opponents to play around and affect the board on the turn you play them. This is very important in the deck, not only to move your minions but also to line up the Death’s Door blow. These ‘kill spells’ are valuable - don’t use them too quickly!

Infernal Legion has an immediate effect with the end-of-turn trigger, and it is a big minion that will finish the game. I also like Sir Pellinore, but the double air threshold can be awkward at times.

Finally, charge minions are the core of the deck as they can immediately impact the board by trading into enemy minions or just dealing damage.

Bruce: The most interesting tactic here is Rifty Valley in the sites. Sites in Sorcery are some of the strongest effects in the game and being able to pull apart your opponent’s defenses to create a hole to attack is huge for this deck. This was a great idea from Roaring Turkey, who previously played Summoning Sphere, but we found that to be a “dead” card late in the game.

Some interesting cards that can be used in this deck are Doomsday Prophet, Warp Spasm, Bane Widow, or Immolation. Doomsday Prophet and Warp Spasm both set up for a huge alpha strike turn, while Bane Widow helps you burn through your deck and put minions in the cemetery. Immolation is an especially cool removal spell that works well with the movement capabilities of air.

I also really enjoy one of the Mix Ignis, as using it to be able to play a Legion on turn 3 is really fun; it will usually kill an opponent’s minon that turn and if they can’t get rid of it, it will take over the game.

War Horse is one of my favorite minions, the 2 mana cost for a 2-power minion with haste with no downside is really strong, and the more you learn the better movement gets.

Morgana le Fey helps the Flamecaller continue to play minions and helps with card advantage. If she gets removed, her hand just goes to the cemetery for the Flamecaller to use later.

: Counter their cemetery synergy with sites like Funeral Pyre and set up big turns using your own cemetery.

 lists, outpace with consistent minion pressure.

: A challenging matchup; counter flyers with deserts and cards like Vile Imp or Quarrelsome Kobalds.

Bruce: This deck embodies big, exciting turns. 

 has so much depth in deck-building, and I look forward to new strategies emerging. For the future, I’m trying to develop more of a control style of play/strategy. It goes against my base idea of just punching my opponent with minions… so it’s taking some getting used to. I think I can get there though, there are a lot of skilled players I can learn from within the
