>>97661652>TQHonestly, I didn't expect to enjoy the narrative in Lorcana as much as I do, but I find it to be pretty engaging.
>new fab set announced>suspected PVE element involved>isn't the new thread headline with bells and whistles going off to sound the alarm Wow, it really is dead. James fucked up, big time.
>>97661652Oh no, the orange junk rats are the ones who use a lot of sci fi creatures as obstacles? I am pretty sure I want to main at least three of the four colors now. >tfw you hate white frames but it still somehow works I wish they'd go back to black, honestly. For my eye strain's sake at least.
>>97661745>>that imageIt's the latest information from the dev update. What's wrong with it?>>97661853Originally I thought the purple faction used creatures since they fight dirty. I think Orange will be pretty strong, being evasive in a game like this is going to be valuable.
>>97661652Hub world is for queers and faggots.
>>97662437i am not a queer and not a faggot but i like Netrunner and i like Hubworld
>>97662391They said this game isnt collectible. are these arts included in the pledge set?
>>97662437if your game isn't for queers and faggots then it will fail. chuds don't buy commie shit like non-collectible games>bro what about the MARKET VALUE of this mythic?>yeah so buying this case of product for $1200 was a sound investment strategy
>>97661687lol, mousecuck
>>97662816Fuck off commie.
>>97662822>fuck off commie>prime COLLECTIVEyour kind isn't welcome in my queer game
Friendly reminder that Riftbound shits on FAB
>>97662900Then why does digimon have its own general? Interest just isnt there unc ong
>>97662945Nothing is really stopping other games from having their own general.
>>97662900>shits on fab>when it can't get past lorcanakek
Why are western games so shit at event promos?
>>97662945That just means the userbase that was already here is into that game. That can happen with much smaller games too, potentially.
>>97662820And yet, somehow, just as cool as every other nerd here. Imagine that.
>>97662900>fab behind unlimited lmfao shameful display, White
>>97662836It's a play on the sci fi phrase "prime directive," just so you know
stop complaining, at least it's the EBG game that actually is an /acg/ this time.
>>97661709people aren't going to get prematurely hyped about it because it's probably fake. James has been talking up how they're "working on PVE" since like 2020. In that time, other games have been launched, grown, added PVE of their own, and released multiple years of expansions for it. you can only cry wolf for so long before players start treating it as noise.
>>97663693This, to be honest. It's not even a bad game by any stretch of the imagination. Consider this, the demo was released when they weren't even 50% of the way through rules design, and it was solid enough for multiple playthroughs, with and without higher multi playing. I taught four of my friends to play it and sat out to help them with rules interaction questions. These guys play a lot of games and they all gave it a glowing review. We're looking forward to running a six man draft when it comes out.
>Grand Archive's EDHHow expensive do you think it will be?
>>97663281>Mistveil-busted ass setIt's all three lightning heroes, so yeah, it's exactly going to be that.
>>97663889Just like regular edh, it depends on what you want to do
>>97663337lol, mousecope
https://x.com/hololive_OCG_EN/status/2029512255415681393Either our yelling worked or Bushi/Cover was gonna do it anyways and only skipped over Chihaya and Niko because no one in the West would know a DEV_Is is.
Thinking of a combination of Union Aren, Duel Master and Shadowverse resource system plus dedicated resource cards. Any card as resouce, they generate amount of Resource at the start of your turn, you don't have to tap or anything. Dedicated resource cards would generate Resource and do other things. Units and Actions won't have any abilities while they're being used as a resource card. To play cards, you just need to be able to pay the cost and have at least 1 card that matches its colors as a resource excluding colorless cards and when playing non-dedicated resource cards as a resource. To play a 3 cost Red/Yellow card you would need to have at least 3 Resource to pay the cost and both a Red and Yellow resource card.
>>97662900What's the source on this? People in my area were talking up Hololive like it was gonna be a big deal so surprised to see it not even listed.
>>97664353Balancing would be based on stats, abilities and cost. Going to use MTG stats as an example. A 1/1 3 cost vanilla would generate 3 Resource, while a 3/3 unit with 5 cost and 1 ability would generate 1.Dedicated resource cards would be similar to Tamers from Digimon. They'd have a cost to play, but you don't to match their colors. They'd also do things when they're played or while on the field. Going to copy a Memory setter from Digimon as an example. At the start of your Turn, if your have 2 or less Resource, your Resource becomes 3. It would have a set amount of Resource it would make.It's not the most createive resource system and it's another game that wants you to ramp before being able to make big plays, but its simple enough to cards around.
>>97664353>they generate amount of Resource at the start of your turn, you don't have to tap or anythingWhat is the mechanical distinction here?
>>97664414The cards just give you the number of resource. You're not tapping them to do anything like if they were Lands or whatever. If you have 3 cards that give your 5 resource total, you just gain that at the start of your turn. Should have mentioned that any Resource that you keep any Resource you don't use. If you pass your turn with 1 and don't use it in your opponent's turn, you'd start with 1 and then gain whatever amount you have.
>>97664438>The cards just give you the number of resource. You're not tapping them to do anything like if they were Lands or whateverYeah, I got that despite your poor writing. I asked what difference it makes to tap them or not tap them. It seems like an entirely semantic difference.>Should have mentioned that any Resource that you keep any Resource you don't useThat on the other hand is going to have huge repercussions. I hope you've thought that through.
>>97664480>I asked what difference it makes to tap them or not tap them.It takes less time? There's no reason to tap them at all, except the dedicated resource cards that might have you tap them to use an ability.
>>97662900>not a single bushiroad gameLol
dont care, still gonna play the new illusionist
I like the card design for the Cyberpunk game. Shame that the rules kind of sound like ass.
>>97661652Roleplaying like it's Season 1 Yugioh is always fun. "Hah, you've fallen victim to my hidden special ability! Behold! I call upon the Moon Clan Werewolf! Now your card's outmatched! Go, Lunar Howling!"Sometimes you just wanna play 1 card a turn and develop the game naturally instead of vomiting your whole hand.
>>97662900>>97664380going for an appeal to popularity argument in /acg/ is wild.you didn't happen to notice the first three lines on your list there, anon
>>97664955it's alright. frames are kinda boardgamey/uninspired but they're fine. the deviantart cel cartoon style makes me wary. could be cool, but we just saw that type of art direction go pearshaped with SWU.>Shame that the rules kind of sound like asshave we seen them yet? early noise said it was going to be a creature battler (why) but that could have just been speculation/trashtalk
2026 Duel Masters is looking insane. They're really going all out for the 25th anniversary.25 decks, 2 RP sets, 3 EX sets from April to August.Past few years have been more like 5 decks, 2 RP sets, 1 EX set in that same time period.>April 4th - DM26SD125 different decks where you get a random one when you open a pack. They showed the contents of a few, and they look pretty good. The signature cards have got new borderless art that links together with the other decks (>pic related).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edWfVB7y3bU>April 11th - DM26RP1Shobu themed set as expected. Basic core set stuff but they're also adding Dragon Musume box toppers (with rare alternate art versions) and serialized versions of the dream rare (only 25 copies exist of an alternate print). That should keep the whales active.>May 16th - DM26EX1A set for more cards that support those decks released in April. Both new cards and reprints.>June 13th - DM26RP2Katta themed set. Same whale-bait as RP1.>July 18th - DM26EX2New "BEST" series set. Called Charisma BEST this time. These sets have been released yearly for the past few years and are themed around 5 specific creature races. Not much else known about this.>August 8th - DM26EX3100% Dragon Musume set. Every card is Dragon Musume. If you don't know what Dragon Musume is, it's a bunch of Duel Masters dragons reimagined as high school girls. Finally, Duema has a 100% waifu set.https://www.youtube.com/@dragonmusume_naritakunaiLive stream that announced all this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OH0FdA2GC0
>>97664955>the other cyberpunk gamenew set is also out for the cyberpunk game
>>97658125Shardbugs is pretty fun. My lgs carries it. It’s basically duel masters meets lorcana with a leader and color locking. You play units into your hive to tap as mana, but you can actually move units from in play to your hive or cast units from your hive. Units tap for “devotion” first to 20 wins, but you can swing at your opponent to drain their devotion. It think it’s a good game that is held back by its theming. After playing it, I love the fantasy bugs and the campy comic book nature of the game but at first glance I would dismiss it. I don’t think they are marketing it right.
>>97665425I do this, but only in my head
>>97665804It's a very narrow theme even if it's well executed.
>>97661709>>97661709FaB is near-dead regardless of PvE, as it should. Fuck this nickel-and-dime piece of shit game, fuck James, and fuck me for getting baited into impulse-spending about $500 on it without seriously trying it out.
>>97665993>spent 500$ without trying it outWhy are you guys so bad at managing your funds? The demo decks were free, talishar is free, the blitz decks were 12$, the sage decks are $20.>inb4 "I only play sisi the only REEL FOURMAT">armory deck faggo: $40
>>97665504>have we seen them yet?Yeah they have them up on their websitehttps://static1.squarespace.com/static/68921f7684e62119e59beed5/t/697a57166d5d0a1d790585e1/1769625366180/Cyberpunk+TCG+Alpha+Gameplay+Guide.pdf
I'm going to Japan soon. What cool and shiny cards should I look for if I just want to collect beautiful waifu cards?Pic related
>>97666458WixossZ/XI'm sure there's more too.
>>97664851>still gonna play the new illusionistYes, because if you don't, then they will walk all over you. You HAVE to play the new heroes or you lose.
>>97666458Krillin is so lucky...
>>97665530Prices? Preorders when?
You literally just cant get games for any tcg besides Commander
>>97666694No idea about preorders.Prices:>RP sets200 yen per pack. Unchanged from last year>DM26SD1 decks1100 yen. More expensive that the past couple years starter decks, but less expensive than the premium decks. Makes sense based on content, though they are randomized.>EX setsVaries a lot as usual. Also amount of cards and rares per pack can vary too, so it's hard to judge if these are good prices without any other information.>EX1 - 25 Reinforcements275 yen per pack. Low for an EX pack, but not unheard of. Since the decks are probably mainly intended for new players, and this set is to upgrade those decks, it makes sense that they'd want the cost lower for this set.>EX2 - Charisma BEST385 yen per pack. Same price as Pandora Wars, but more than previous years BEST series packs (330 yen usually). I wonder why. Maybe it will have double-sided cards like Pandora Wars?>EX3 - 100% Dragon Musume440 yen per pack. It's a waifu set so they can probably get away with making it pricier. It might also just have more cards per pack like the Nijisanji set from last year.
>>97666829I'm sorry to hear that. Luckily that's not true in my area.
>>97666266Not sure how I feel about paying 2 to flip one of your 3 leaders, not knowing which one you're flipping. Could be fun, could be annoying depending on the leaders I suppose.I do like the idea of the wincon being points that you can steal from your opponent. Could be a fun tug of war style game vs other games where the wincon is separate from player to player.
>>97666458In addition to what others said, there's Weiss if you don't mind screenshot slop.
>>97666829>besides Commanderif true then sepuku
>>97665425>Roleplaying like it's Season 1 Yugioh is always fun. >"Hah, you've fallen victim to my hidden special ability! Behold! I call upon the Moon Clan Werewolf! Now your card's outmatched! Go, Lunar Howling!"Based as fuck
>>97665530>100% Dragon Musume setIf WotC was smart, it would make some money in the West
>>97667593Aahhh!! Ning ning ning ning ning ning!
>>97667727kek
it's likei'm playing burn again
>LGS finally official for bandai; Participation + Winner for Gundam>my CB deck still brought me second placeSo close to first too, 1 hit away. Can't quit this deck yet if it keeps giving back to me.
https://wikigacha.com/
>>97617789Just got it. Again, fuck scalpers
>>97664955They went for the most generic gameplay that is already available in several card games. And the "gigs" gimmick doesn't even sound fun. Too bad to be honest. The Neuroscape tcg looks more cyberpunk that this one, but will be probably forgotten.There is a trend nowadays for extremelly quick matches in new card games. Since I appreciate it for some, I would also like to also have more complex or even narrative games.
>>97668190Played against a very similar deck the other day. Was able to rush it with a GW aggro Zeron + Graham Union Flag Custom high maneuver deck though.When I play the burn deck, I'm quite of a fan of the new Kshatriya, bit expensive for the stats, but the extra draw is unvaluable, you could even draw into a link.
>>97668784yeah, i'm worried that this deck doesn't do much in turns 1-3, so any fast list will just swarm me too quickly.
>>97661709idk why people are still holding on to pve, fab is not a game that is going to be conducive to pve at all
>>97668717Hell yeah ^_^
>>97666847>It's a waifu set so they can probably get away with making it pricierThe DoraMusu decks cost about twice as much as regular ones so probably.
>>97669458i dunno about that. would have said the same about ashes and keyforge and those are both pretty good.
2 - Great Yithian - 1E1DPermanently Reveal a creature in your hand.This card's name and text become that creature's.That creature's name and text become blank when it is played.2/1/0 (√3) 1/1/0Thinking I'll change it to attaching the Yithian to the creature to indicate the text being blank so it's easier to keep track of.
>>97669916Went and reworded it. It was one of the first designs so I'm not surprised it was clunky. Still not fully happy with it since this is a lot more text than most cards.Permanently Reveal a creature in your hand. This card's name and text become that creature's, and you cannot summon that creature while this is in play.When that creature is summoned, attach this card to it from your Past.The name and text of any creature this card was attached to by the above effect are considered blank.
I'll still never forgive Fab for making a character design that tickles my brain perfectly and relegating her exclusively to some unusable promo for cosplayers.
>>97667604I stand by my schizo post a month or so ago about how this year's block would be the perfect time to bring DM back in the west.They won't though lol
>>97666166i'm 6000 down the hole, i wanted the game to be good, at least i'll have my legendary cards to look at when i'm freezing in the streets
>>97663889I'm proxying at my locals man. I don't care enough about Pantheon to buy expensive cards for experimental decks. I'll be back to the playing the usual format after the release hype is over.
>>97670229"Character Name, sentence that isn't even a title" is the gayest and ugliest naming scheme in TCGs and I will die on this hill.
I built and ordered cards for an AEUG mediocre deck and nobody can stop me.
>>97669853the fun of flesh and blood is the give and take on attacking/blocking, and the meta game. in a pve context you just have 3-4 people playing solitaire with 0 interaction. there is a reason they've been talking about it for half a decade at this point with no actual glimpse of it in sight. the game just does not function without player interaction
>>97671100that's because there's no support cards implemented into the game, as there's zero need for them right now. They would print stuff like "block for your friend's next attack" or "up to three allies get +2 to their first attacks this round" and other helpful support abilities. If you don't think there's any interaction between players in PVE games and that it's 100% just solitaire then you need to get out more and play other games.
>>97671100again, you would have said the same about ashes and keyforge, and they both ended up being pleasant surprises. what's your point?
>>97666534Bro, is being years now, just let it go.Also you are wrong, right now is a bit of a free for all.
>>97670244I remember your post, but, like you, I doubt WotC will do anything
>>97670887How would you do it, then? It doesn't bother me in Lorcana, but in that, there's so many versions of characters that you really need something to help tell them apart. What would you do differently?
new cyberpunk tcghttps://youtu.be/SXwj6ABTX4M?is=mR6Dhcm8Z6NNRNWL
>>97672086oversaturated tcg market there's a tcg or lcg for literally everyone these days. dunno how they're gonna survive past launch year.
>>97672427dunno but I don't know if this cyberpunk tcg will survive (and cp2077tcg) against netrunner which is THE cyberpunk card game
>>97672440Netrunner is dead, and has been dead for years now, only a zombie form of its former self due to some fans doing necromancy
>>97669201Close combat and Improve technique should be your plays until turn 4 in most of the cases.
>>97672025Not reprint the same characters over and over. This is why modern Magic UB sets are dogshit too.
>>97673213Fair enough, though games like Lorcana build the reprints into the game design, like say there's 3 different Aladdins in a set, one will be a more powerful Aladdin that you can play for cheaper if you already have one of the weaker Aladdins in play, and choosing which of the weaker Aladdins to put into your deck to support the stronger one is all part of your deckbuilding strategy. So, they have a reason to do so that's built into how the game works. Seems sensible in the case of Lorcana, they can make 30 versions or Mickey or Stitch or Elsa, while less popular characters only get 1, but they're still adding a huge range of different characters with every set. Now, I don't know much about the game you posted, maybe it makes less sense in that case, but I assume it just works better for some games compared to others.
>>97668190I'd cut out like 2 bases. You actually don't want to burst into them, especially early. You want to burst into the burn. The enemy little 2/2 GM or Graze is going to burst into it and then take a couple turns to chunk through it and in the mean time they're deploying more units and you aren't playing the game yet so when you finally start, they're way ahead. You want to be playing those commands, but with your life. Turn 3 they can play up to 3 units, but you can only play one burn command ...Unless you play them off burst. In my version of decks like this, I actually don't run any units level 4 or lower, specifically to spite enemy Improved Technique. If you give them low level targets for it, they can eventually hit your big stuff. Keep level 5+ and let them swing into the minefield that is your life? That card is literally dead draws for them unless they can figure out how to discard 2 copies.
>>97668190that marida cruz version is damn expensive, how did you get it?

>>97674306You put greentext on quotes, not personal admissions, mousecuck. For example:>welmao
I'm liking what I'm seeing. Also looks like they're adding it to TCG Arena
>>97672025Star Trek card game had little lore paragraphs that would bold-text the character name, so it "counted" as the character it mentioned. sometimes it made the paragraphs awkward, but I did like it better than "Jean-Luc Picard: Dixon Hill" would have beenalso, I don't mind just going by expansion. just don't do the same character twice in any set. they could all be named "Donald Duck" (the little sub-sentence is just an attempt to give them a lore box without doing it.) modern movies are doing it, by year. it's just The Running Man (and you have to add (2025)) instead of The Running Man: dumb subtitle
I think it worked fine for ScoreZ/GT. It's all in how it's implemented.
>>97674479OK, fair, the Star Trek method is an interesting way to do it, though it does force a lot of flavor text real estate into each card, which could limit game designers from making more complicated cards that require a lot of text space (on the other hand, flavor text is always nice to have).>just don't do the same character twice in any setOof, well, once again in the case of Lorcana, they tend to feature a few properties in each set, for example the newest set features Lilo and Stitch the Animated Series, The Fox and The Hound, and Darkwing Duck, and usually those properties get a lot more attention than the others (Darkwing had at least 5 character cards in this set), and on top of that, any time there is a more powerful version of a character (floodborn), they always release at least one less powerful version (storyborn or dreamborn) to support it. So limiting it to one per set just doesn't make sense for Lorcana, especially due to set rotation.
>>97670887I respect your preference, but I can't agree with your position, mostly because it would be a pain to search for versions of the character that I want by any other method I can think of. Like, if you had to use set and card numbers to signify a card you wanted to buy, that would be an awful hassle, and even if you did that, you know players would just come up with nicknames instead, rendering your preference a moot point.
>>97674594They could just use "Character Name, an actual title that isn't some stupid sentence"
>>97674620I'm with you on that. Some sentences are fine in my book, like something simple as "Playing It Cool", or "Without a Paddle", but anything longer than 3 words, and it becomes too egregious for me. Like, pick a nickname, not an autobiography.
https://youtu.be/qD-rlwqupDo?t=18872Hololive Super Expo ended off on a Holoka segment that showed off that AR tech a bit more. Halfway through the match they take some time to talk about the upcoming Live Start decks that are underpowered and designed to be played against each other and tease set 8 a bit more. They did Ina a great service with this art.
>>97673805>that marida cruz version is damn expensive, how did you get it?luck.
>>97672025>>97673466If you're going to have to do it because you're making IPslop you could at the very least make them actual titles and not vague descriptions or action tags. "Aladdin, Loser Hobo" and "Aladdin, Prince of Thieves" are a dozen miles better in every way than shit like "Aladdin, owns a lamp" or "Aladdin, rimming Jasmine's asshole" which seems to be the standard TCGs have adopted instead for some reason.
>>97662900I wonder how much of this popularity for pokemon is just faggot scalpers who think they're going to make it big finding and selling super rare cards.
>New Netrunner set is actually fun>Hubworld is almost finished designWe're so fucking back.
>>97674745How many more ewhores need to graduate before they can make a throwback set of graduates and finally give us a Gura?
>>97675391>Gurareplavced by biboo and the twins.
>>97675508Shark cunny is eternal and so is my lust for it.
>>97662900Is Grand Archive just dead?Also, now that the dust has settled, how has riftbound been? Any word on when the worldwide release will be?Any chance it will be top 4-5 in the future?
>>97675527then fab to saba and stop crying.
>>97675533But I want official Holoka Gura cards.
I got two Gundam tcg starter decks, heroic beginnings and zeons rush. I bought them for the mini's and I was frankly very surprised to find them, anyhow, the tcg also looks fun and there is some sorta local stores doing organised play for it so maybe that is something to get into. The only thing I notice is that there are not a lot of singles for sale sp what is the best way to build a deck that is not to bad without buying All tje booster boxes in the hope I pull something?
>>97674745Too bad the hololive tcg is probably one of the worse and most boring tcg I have ever played.>>97675527Gura was and remains, as saba, as the most overrrated vtuber ever. Not entertaining, lazy af, never streams. Chumkeks are mindbroken.
>>97675354Oh, I don't know, I'd pay good money for the Aladdin- Rimming Jasmine's Asshole card.
>>97675553buyins 2 copies of each starter is good because then you get a full set, since the starter cards are ONLY in the starter decks.
>>97675568Imagine being this gay.
>>97675356not much. there's thousands of those, but they're outnumbered 10,000 to 1 by the third graders that make up the primary market.
>>97675553Are the decks + figure thingies still sold?
>>97670887It is ugly, but it's still way way better than the version where you have multiple mechanically different cards with the exact same name (FAB, game of thrones, Pokemon). because holy fuck does that get annoying down the road. "no, not the red uppercutface, the blue one", "oh that's the wrong Robert Baratheon, I meant the fat one", "I can play this squirtle from 25 rotations ago because the new one is an exact rules reprint, even though there's 40 other distinct squirtles printed since that are not legal".
>>97675754I thought you were fucking with me, but that's exactly how it is.So how do Pokefags actually differentiate the different versions in deck lists and stuff? Do they say the exact printing/set every time?
>>97675777No, not at all. the multiple cards / same name is surprisingly common even though it's so painfully, obviously stupid you'd wonder why any designer didn't reject it immediately.
>>97675777You just look at which ones are legal.
>>97675754Unironic mental skill issue on your part.
>>97675531>Is Grand Archive just dead?no but it did become just a SEA game. I mean it's still somewhat popular here but it's popping off way more in SEA because it's an original IP with anime art.
>>97675664That is what I got from reading up on things so maybe that is a start.>>97675731They are solved out/scalped everywere. I got them yesterday at a card store that used to have some Gunpla so I pop in there a few times a year. The explanation why they still had these 'ah yeah, we got those from a distributor but we are not going to carry Gundam tcg so we just never put them on our website and you are the first to ask about them' got them at MSRP. The mini's are cool but in 2026 plastic moulding terms nothing special.
>>97675961What are they called?
>>97675830making things confusing for no reason would be a sanity check, if anything. it's very frustrating in FABs case. that game is such an infuriating mix of great ideas poisoned by mind numbing stupidity. so much squandered potential.
What is your favorite tournament / event prize items?
>>97676049I love playmats I would play your game if I can get a playmat. When I worked at the lgs I got all kinds of goodies as run off from tcg events we didnts / couldn't run.
>>97676092That must have been nice getting the extras. I've worked at some miniatures companies and coins seem to be a popular one as wellDo you like your playmats to be full artwork or have designated zones for gameplay things (deck, discard, etc)
>>97676040PTCG really isn't confusing at all though because when people say a card you know which one they mean if you've been following the game for longer than a day. If I say Lucario right now I don't need to specify Regulation I Mega Lucario ex, because it's the only Lucario that matters at the moment.
>>97676092Shit I need to check if my LGSs need someone to work there.
>>97675998Gundam assemble set starter deck, there is 5 in total but they only had these two. I got a full art foil gouff from the zeon promo pack and it was Pringles af, I did not open the other promo pack yet. I like Zeon and another zeon rush deck without the mini's is not that expensive yet, it is not the strongest it seems but is a start. I did see on the site of one store that prerelease is 4 booster packs and a 30 card deck so prolly I am also overthinking it looking at meta netdecks already. Doubling up on at least one of the starters to get going and and doing a locals is the way I guess, maybe get a boosterbox just for the fun of opening packs.
>>97676100>Do you like your playmats to be full artwork or have designated zones for gameplay things (deck, discard, etc)Not him, but I hate that shit. Grids make those playmats annoying to play with other games. Sometimes I have custom counterfeits made of grid-only playmats, if tracking down the original artwork is possible to protest this.
>>97675777For pokemons, it's the same as any Bandai game: set+card number
>>97676100Full artwork can be a lot of fun but I do prefer at least one plain zoned one. I think if the art is too poppy the zones do a major disservice.>>97676111Depending on the size of the chain you can land a nice job
>>97675777OG squirtle art has so much chad energy
>>97670887Absolutely horrendous galaxy level awful take
>>97676588>>97676849Thank you very much. I've done playmats for some non /tg/ projects and they're pretty inexpensive
>>97676953You need to be an illiterate EFL retard to think some shit like "Kimito, Scrungling the badongling" is anything other than an insult to the English language and a cancer born from lack of creativity and sloppification. If you need 15 different cards to accurately communicate a character then if just means you're incapable of making a single card that actually accurately represents a character, and you destroy any supposed amount of being special that a named character should have. Your named unit is now fodder no different from any common monster.
>>97673213Fucking moronic take it's the DISNEY card game, people buy it because they like the characters, they want 1 character to have a bunch of cards the game would have like 5 sets before it runs out of characters that people care about if they all only ever got 1 card. Important characters SHOULD have a ton of cards because thats what people want. It's a good thing that there are 5 Donatellos because there are a million versions of the character and it helps to better represent different versions while giving more gameplay options. The turtles in 1 set having more cards than Urza in the entire history of mtg is a success in making TMNT and a show failure of mtg beforehand
>>97676998>slopyou have no value as a person and no opinion you give should be listened to.
>>97674819lucky you
>>97674253didnt know sorry>>97674244do you like it? good!
>>97677006>it's the DISNEY card gameDisney has a gazillion different characters or canonically alternative timeline versions of those characters, and each individual one would feel a lot more special if they all had to one card each. If you have five versions of the same character then not one of them actually feels special.
>>97677009You probably play One Piece which has the worst (lack of) art direction known to mortal man.
>>97677022Everyone who plays the game would disagree with you. This isnt a debate its you being wrong.>I like Stitch so I want to play Lorcana because it has Stitch>oh the 1 Stitch card ever made sucks dick? Guess I wont play>oh the 1 Stitch card ever made is combat focused when I like to combo? Guess I wont play>oh the 1 Stitch card ever made has ugly art? Guess I wont play.>oh the 1 Stitch card ever made depicts him from the start of the movie instead of after he becomes friends with Lilo? Guess I wont play.You can do this for every character in any Disney movie. You are wrong and it would be a complete design failure if the game was the way you want it to be because you're autistic about the English language despite the fact that the flexibility of the English language is what makes it the best language in the world.>>97677031No I dont because I dont fucking like One Piece
>>97677047>everyone who eats shit will disagree with you that shit tastes bad Yeah you retarded mongrel. If something only exists in one state of course the people into it like the state it exists in.
>>97677061>EVERYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH MY AUTISM IS A SHITEATING BOOTLICKER!!!>Here are several actual reasons why you are wrong>NOOOOOOOOO YOU HECKIN MONGROL!!!!Stay mad and cry cuck
>>97677079You're literally arguing the worst MtG set ever is good so please just die.
>Local Gundam Meta>Every Deck is Ping, Amuro, or Blockers>People are considered playing off meta when they just slap two different half of meta decks together.>only one other guy tries to play actual fun stuffI just want people to play fun decks.
how is FaB right now, is it still techbro tier to play it
>>97678455shit as always
>>97678463has the game gotten less "solved because of simple math of the card economy"
>>97678470no but heroes that put bodies fuck up the math on their favor
>>97678303Hell I just want to play the game without getting ass raped by a scalper
>>97675356pokemon is one of the biggest franchises on planet earth anon
>>97679228>one of the biggest franchisesNot one of. It's THE biggest.
>>97661652I wish there was a horror movie themed game
>>97679270There was a mtg set based on that.
>>97679353Pffft hahaha- oh wait, you were serious.
>>97678455Fab is embarrassingly bad for a game with 6 years under its belt. The devs only care about balancing the game for limited experience and worry about constructed dead last. This design philosophy has meant there's extreme highs and lows for limited but more frustratingly no end to the broken and boring meta, one that gets solved in no time at all every single release. Because they have left the bread and butter game mode virtually unchecked for this long it would take massive bannings and sunsetting of entire cardpools to right the ship on top of a unified balancing method for future releases. And, Brother? That shit ain't happening. They are in too deep and are in full denial mode over their lack of control over the game.
New cute Jenny just dropped.
>>97679228Shelf sweepers weren't a problem until whatshisface started prattling on about the cards being an investment and baiting in all the NFT-phenotype faggots.Almost certainly going to be a fresh wave of them too since that artist competition card got sold. It sure as hell isn't just all the little kids buying single boosters with their pocket money doing the numbers..
>>97678455If you are a competitive player and like to play with a bunch of decks you are in luck because a bunch of decks are viable now.However a new set will be release soon so maybe wait a bit.
>>97678455i think this next set could be fun, adds some boardstate to lightning heroes, BUT...IGBP (its gonna be parasitic) as always, fuckfab
>>97669201Your turn 1-3 is playing commands to kill their units
>>97679494whats the effect?
>>97679494>>97679821It's Mary Jenny, Dragon Queen Doll but with new art for the new set of decks.From the wiki it seems like she goes well with death puppets, if they leave you draw and your opponent discards. Beats me how strong she is, probably not very, but still a cute archetype.
>>97679494First thing I saw was her big fat cock, then I realised the artist carefully disguised it as her knee for plausible deniability.
>>97679916Can't unsee it.Thanks, I hate it.
>>97679821New art for old (2024) card.https://duelmasters.fandom.com/wiki/Mary_Jenny,_Dragon_Queen_Doll>>97679892She seems like a good card but death puppets generally aren't strong enough for her to be seen in pro games. Maybe one day though. Death puppets got stronger with Pandora Wars and there might be more support in DM26EX1 (the set with cards to support the decks they're releasing).
>>97678303Im trying to keep the dream of Zeon tribal alive at my locals.
>>97678303>3 different decks>NO YOU HAVE TO PLAY GARBAGE THATS WHAT FUN IS Take your meds, autist.
>>97680270In every card game you have retards who think their idea of fun is the only way anyone can possibly enjoy the game and everyone who plays something else must be a joyless subhuman sweat who only cares about winning. This is because they lack theory of mind.
>>97680270Typical /acg/ faggot happy to play against Draven all day at league weeklies kek
Aidalon fans, Ive backed this game as well in a hope it will be kind of Netrunner alike with bluffing and strategies but looking at the shifting back and forth I feel like cant really build strategy since your cards will shift around. Could someone prove me wrong?
>>97662900wondering why algomany is not gaining much popularity. Not expecting top 5, but at least some sign that the player base growing slowly.
>>97680919>wondering why algomany is not gaining much popularityAI art is a turnoff for people
>>97679789>adds some boardstateYou mean amping and turning everything into a wizard hybrid as a board state?
>>97678303Visit the other shops in your area. My area has 3 shops that run weeklies. Two are hard meta all the time forever, but 1 consistently runs pet decks based on their favorite anime so that's where I go even though it's a little farther. Even when the meta players come over for NTCs and release events to get more participation prizing they remark on how they don't even really know how to play because they're seeing cards they've never seen.
>>97680706card shifting is a feature, not a bug. build strategies around that.
>>97681338there's macro to manage now, people liked heavy hitters because of agility/might/vigor, people liked the hunted because of fealty, i can see how this could shape the meta in the future, too bad it's not happening
>>97680706yeah, that's not right. shifting is one of the game's core mechanics. it's as fundamental as installing and rezzing are to netrunner. building a strategy that doesn't account for it and make use of it is nonsensical.
Duel Masters has interesting creature types
>>97682746Such as?
>>97682113>i can see how this could shape the meta in the future, too bad it's not happeningYeah macros are sweet, for limited. Too bad they fucked up making landmarks fables and not actually dynamic like how macros are.
