I work at an LGS that will be a store for official events. I already have a case (4 boxes of 32 packs each iirc), each starter, and each playmat preordered. As soon as we get demo kits for the game we’re going to promote the shit out of it

I’d be interested in it, if I had a solid in person playgroup. Though that kind of goes for all card games. At least with Disney backing it, it might gain enough traction to make an impact into the causal crowd.

Even if it doesn’t do well in a competitive capacity it’s still going to print money simple due to it being a Disney related product.

I have to say that I am happy that they finally added the new support card to the Traptrix archetype on Master Duel.

They feel much better now, more combo potential and better answers, even if you go second.

Absolutely insane how much that card is worth. I’m glad it was just a random person who got it and not some huge store.

lots coming next year. I look forward to the cowboy set.

Wow, can't believe it's been 30 years. 30 years ago yesterday!!!

Yeah, it’s insane that MTG is still going strong after all these years.

My new deck on Yugi

 

 

This was the reaction to it on the discord XD

 

[Hecatom]

 It seems that my return to Yugi Oh! has been cut short by Konami adding the KAshtira archetype and the cancer they bring 🤣😂☹️💀

No idea, the only thing I know about it is that it had some controversy due the system being lifted from another project from other company, apparently, or something like that.

not sure as I can't get my hands on any of the cards

Will this be this generations' Magic The Gathering? The library is called the spellbook. It's called Sorcery: Contested Realm.

 

Quote

An "old school" fantasy card game for players with a rich imagination, tactical nerve and an appreciation for hand-painted art.

 

Ironic, huh? I mean wizards do magic and sorcerers do sorcery.

 

Came out almost exactly 30 years after Magic.

 

Some of the terms a synonyms of Magic. Like instead of a creature with flying it's with airborne.

Does anyone play the One Piece card game? It looks interesting, almost like minimalist Magic.

Hey so I've looked at vids of modern yugioh. And the game looks to have devolved into the most expensive game of solitaire. So I was thinking of a action mechanic to fix this.

 

Basically you'd have a number of action tokens. That are used when making moves during your turn and your opponents. Then it resets during your stand by phase. The more impactful an action is the more action tokens are utilized.

 

I.E a normal summon, declaring an attack, changing battle position is 1 action point. While a non extra deck special summon  is 3 and a extra deck special summon is 5.  Setting a card is 1. Activating and resolving an effect on your turn is 2. And activating and resolving an effect on your opponent's turn is 3.

 

This is just a rough draft. But the idea is to basically force some thought, strategy and interaction back into the game. As appose to "Herp I go first, either you've opened with hand traps. Or I flood the board with powerful effect negating boss monsters turn 1 and win Derp" Now you'd have to actually think and not over commit to your board. Less you blow your action points on summoning your boss monsters. But no action points left to use effects.
