Gods Unchained Introduces Sealed Mode

The crypto game Gods Unchained has released a new format called “Sealed Mode” which rewards highly skilled players, even if they don’t have a large card collection. The announcement was made via a blog post on Sept. 13.

The “Sealed Deck” tournament format is common in paper trading card games such as Magic: The Gathering, but is relatively rare in digital trading card games. To participate in Sealed Mode, players need to pay an entry fee of 15 Gods Unchained ($GODS) tokens, which is worth approximately $2.65 at the time of writing.

Players receive three gods to build a deck around, as well as 60 cards drawn from multiple Gods Unchained card sets, including Etherbots, Mortal Judgement, Winter Wanderlands, and others. The cards are semi-randomly chosen but contain a minimum number of cards of specific types to ensure that a viable deck can be built with it. For instance, each pool has at least 12 cards that cost 3 crypto down or less.

Gods Unchained Sealed Tournaments

In Gods Unchained, each card is represented by a nonfungible token stored on the Immutable X network, a layer-2 of Ethereum. This crypto network enables the game’s “sealed mode” tournaments, which are similar to “sealed deck” or “draft” tournaments for face-to-face card games like Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokemon and Magic: The Gathering. Players of these games often use sealed formats to collect cards.

To participate in a sealed tournament, players must build a minimum 30-card deck out of the 60 cards provided. Players must build their decks entirely out of the cards provided and cannot use cards from their own personal collection. After building a deck, players compete until they either lose three matches or win seven. The players with better records at the end of the tournament receive more rewards than the players who have worse records. Some cosmetic rewards are only available in sealed mode and can only be obtained by players who win four matches or more.

Gods Unchained was one of the first Web3 video games released by Immutable. In May, Immutable stated it was developing a wallet application called “Passport” that would allow gamers to log in without needing to copy down seed words. On Aug. 15, Immutable released its zkEVM testnet, which it claimed will help scale Ethereum for video game players.
