Description provided by Watch It Played on YouTube:

In this video, we're going to learn how to play Argent The Consortium! If you have any comments or questions, please do not hesitate to post them in the YouTube comments below. NOTE: 13:08: Collecting the Archmage is an immediate effect, not one that resolves during resolution. ARGENT FOR TWO: Play with 9 Rooms in a 3x3 square. Do not use the Great Hall A or Dormitory, but always use Infirmary Side B. When drafting Mages, collect 7 (not 5).
