MetaZoo Hour Summary
Written by Jody Mitoma
Published Jan 3, 2022

On Friday, December 24, 2021 at 12:05pm EST, MetaZoo Games founder Michael Waddell started up another one of his highly anticipated MetaZoo Hours on the official MetaZoo Discord server.

There were a total of 100 MetaZoo related questions & 17 personal/unrelated questions that were asked by members of the MetaZoo Discord community, and the answers all came directly from Michael Waddell himself; unless otherwise stated.

NEW CHANGES – Starting with this MetaZoo Hour Summary, I’ve upgraded the way I’ll be presenting the questions and answers to make it a much better experience for you as a reader! You’ll see that it is much better organized, and now includes a seriously helpful search feature! Try searching for Wilderness or NFT or whatever you wish; it works dynamically, which is pretty nice.

Lastly, you’ll notice I decided to start posting all of the questions again (even those unrelated to MetaZoo), but decided to sort the “Personal Questions” in their own separate section which can be found below the “MetaZoo-Related Questions.” 🙂

Michael Waddell at 12:05pm Eastern Standard Time:

    Some things are exclusive and that’s okay

  • hashtagnotafurry — I am an officer in Orlando. I went to collectacon and I was wondering if metazoo or the convention center planned/hired security, as it was fairly bottom tier.

    That’s the plan, parity is a complex word though

  • ASE — Your team is past top grade! It’s amazing how passionate everyone is. Do you think you’ll ever step back a bit in the future (Metazoo hour , the Collect a cons ect) I still don’t believe that you don’t have one of each card lol

  • Any other last minute surprises for KS? Anything to be revealed after campaign ends?

    Every time we reveal something, seems like people get upset haha

  • @MetaZoo You've stated in the past that you don't want any meta defining cards to be locked behind a paywall. With that in mind and considering the current state of the meta, is it possible we could see cards moved off the reserved list like New Year New Beginnings, Loveland Mailman or First Anniversary Celebration? Or is it more likely to get cards like a "2nd anniversary celebration, Squonk Mailman, etc?"

    Every single card is behind a paywall, because no cards are free. The reserve list is intentional.

    Yes, working on this

  • Did you come up with mechanics of MetaZoo? If not who’s idea was the gameplay side?

    In the beginning there was just me, but now we have an awesome R&D team run by @Kevin C. and a bunch of awesome playtesters

  • @MetaZoo Do you think that the metazoo nfts are good for the game as a whole considering how they take up resources and time but only benefit a very small portion of the playerbase and unlike chase cards do not bring any incentive to the game or for people to crack packs

    Not everything has to be for everyone. MetaZoo is growing in complexity, as is its fanbase.

  • What was the decision to take sleeves out of the theme decks? I remember my kickstarter theme deck having them

  • One point of constructive criticism i would like to state is about the Walmart boxes. I think putting chase pulls in them could deter the original use of them (get it in more hands/new hands). Because of the box toppers in them, they are being more sought after by scalpers and flippers than new players. I think that could hurt its intentions. Just my two cents on them that i am seeing.

    Had no idea they were putting boxtoppers in them

    This week

  • Any plans for a creepypasta/internet specific cryptid set or block?

    yes

  • I'm actually really curious of your take on this second concept -- using a reserve list to shift the meta. My instinct is that putting top meta cards on the reserve list would be negative bc if everyone recognizes they are really good reserving them would be only making it harder for everyone to play but allowing a small percentage to play it which would probably be more frustrating to the majority of players vs banning it , I'm curious how your take on how reserving top meta cards would actually work out as I'm sure what I said is completely wrong?

    You have to think more critically about the dynamics between the reserve list and mechanically unique cards
