Also another point about the OCG hits is that they slowly signal to players what further hits to expect.
In the TCG they usually just randomly out of the blue absolutely obliterate something.
You can kinda "feel it in the air" and see people starting to sell off cards in advance, but it's still a hot potato gamble with 100€ cards by the dozens.
I'm not someone who considers cards an investment, but let's be reasonable, most people cycle through cards buy/sell.
This forces TCG players to play vendor on the side or just accept every € spent is lost for good. Fair enough.
At least if we had the OCG approach and they semi limit something, you can make a decision to cut your losses then and there and recoup some costs if you already played the deck enough.
The guy who buys it also isn't fucked because he knows he'll get another month or two of decent power level out of it.
I hate how the TCG is being handled so much it's fucking unreal...
Wish I didn't get hooked on that faithful Saturday morning in 2002~2003.
