I'd imagine expand the competitive scene, there's clearly a want for more competitive play so they added more nationals tournaments, made everything Bo3 and made getting promos have a more consistent system.

They're learning how to handle it better, and they even made an app to track tournaments easier.

Trying to go for the "competitive" crowd has not worked a single time for any single game, ever. Physical or videogame.
Here's the thing about "comp games"; people don't get into competitive games.
As an excellent example we have Smash, people did not get smelee to get into a competitive game, they got into it because they were kids playing an appealing, fun, casual as fuck nintendo game. The competitive scene followed, eventually, as those kids grew into obsessed adults only good at being smelly and still playing smash.
It's why aiming for the competitive market never works, you think you are aiming for the "competitive crowd" but no, what you were actually aiming for was some very specific game's very fixated playerbase all along. Smash, Street Fighter, League, Dota, CS, Magic. They don't want a competitive game, you will not win them over with a well designed game, they want the same broken game they already know and have been playing since they were kids. It was never about the competition, it's about not being able to let go. It's a dead end.
There's a reason all the truly established competetive games are the shittiest, most broken and old as fuck, like MTG.

Make a fresh new crowd with a fun casual game instead, if you hit it big they'll grow it into a competetive game eventually, as they grow into a new generation of obssessive adults whose lives peaked in their childhoods while playing a game.

Anonymous No.96036337 [Report]
Updating my previous deck with some set 8 cards. I call this one The Queen of Hurts.

The focus of this deck is to damage as many characters on the board as possible without killing them, and using that damage to fuel a huge amount of Lore gain. Dormouse, Alice, Teeth and Ambitions, On Your Feet Now, and Mosquito Bite help to spread out the damage, while QOH-Haughty Monarch, Pack Tactics, Robin Hood, Ralph, and Adorabeezle rake in Lore depending on if they're damaged or opponents characters are damaged. Vision Slab gains you lore, but also prevents opponents from removing damage, QOH-Unpredictable Bully ensures that all characters start play damaged, KoH prevents damaged characters from challenging you, QOH-Sensing Weakness and Mad Hatter help with card draw, and Morph can be used to shift one of your many floodborns, but is meant for Alice, who doesn't have any shift targets.

true, and wotc has been clear for years casuals make up bulk of sales from places like walmart etc. Why every set has a dragon. Most buyers of packs will never set foot in a LGS or go online to discuss, and if your game doesnt have a casual crowd it will die. Forming for competitive particularly early on in a game in a sure fire way to make sure it stays insular and doesnt get any reach. Anyone remember the Spoils?

I haven't kept an eye on recent prices so I'm making the risky assumption $75USD means a "collector" deck.

Yes. The answer is yes.
Hasbro produces special "collector edition" products that are full of flat(visually, physically they are pringles), dogshit foils and upcharges massively for them. Apparently consooomers fucking love this, so they keep doing it and making bank.
Of course, because the supply of foils is overinflated you get really weird shit where sometimes the non-fancy non-foil versions of cards are MORE expensive on the secondary market.
I am utterly mindbroken by how the collector booster/decks work in modern magic. These "people" will pay a premium price for an inferior product as long as it's named "Very Elite Special Boy Edition for Big Boys".

Watched a tutorial for this. This looks like an actual game. I thought you were talking about the other vtuber TCG, VCard, which seemed like an absolute mess of a game. I have no interest in vtubers, but my buddy does so maybe I'll see if he's interested. This does seem like something that could have been an LCG, but I get that they want the whales to chase after the shiny anime girl alt art cards.

FAB would have worked better as a LCG with pre-built decks. Might have even taken off, if it had OP with tokens and deck boxes and promo hero cards. You could even print new heroes for the existing decks, if you wanted to - offer them as play promos or sold in 3 or 5 packs for like $10.

But James is a fag.

this will never work for any successful game. it forces players to make win-or-lose decisions right from the start of their first game. that's going to guarantee you turn off 90% of potential players.
It's fine to have deep decisions to also attract the spikes, but the baseline gameplay needs to have a braindead autopilot path where two casuals can have a game, make zero decisions, and sometimes win. because that's most of your potential customers. if you ask your players to pick a starting hand, you're not giving them the opportunity to make a decision, you're *forcing* them to make one.

I disagree with your implied measure of success, but agree with the broader point.
Most hobby gamers don't want pure games of skill where the better player always wins. The (somewhat) plausible deniability provided by randomness is what keeps the weaker players around. The necessary dose of randomness, as you identified, is much higher than autistic enthusiasts often believe.

Yes I know FAB took off, I meant it still may have done well as an LCG, if run correctly. The problem with most LCGs from a player perspective is that they print desirable generic cards in every small expansion, which eventually builds up into insurmountable overhead for a new player to compete.

I wonder if you could add rotation to an LCG to manage that. I know that's how GW manages their sorta-LCG games (underworld, killteam) but it's difficult to assign their relative success to anything related to game management.

it's just numbers. low RNG games only appeal to spikes, most players are not spikes, so doing that guarantees a tiny playerbase.
where if you go high RNG, spikes can still find something to like but you don't drive away casuals.

It's a combination of math and the nature of allies.
Red cards generally hit harder. Look at the two different colors of Restless Bones for an example.
Also look carefully at your allies and you'll notice that they are not very efficient from a resource cost to attack power perspective. They need to make multiple attacks to get back on rate, but you can't defend attacks targeting your allies - so it's not always obvious they will be able to.

OK, so how about this. the problem with fixed starting hands or picking your start is you can't just fucking jump right in, you have to make hard decisions before the game starts, right? what if you tweaked that so it was dummy-friendly.
- all preconstructed decks and published decks have a default starting hand, so you can just use that if you don't want to try and some cute shit. OR
- you get to choose between something like Draw A Random 7 or Pick The 5 You Want. so you trade card advantage for determinism. then the newbies can just draw a random hand, while the pros probably use the Pick 5.

I've come to the conclusion that the best way to experience trading card games is to play their respective stand alone single player console/computer games to the end of the campaign and then never touch the physical games themselves.

The gameboy color pokemon TCG 2, for example, is the best way to experience that card game. The physical is inferior in everyway, it has no conclusion by design and the competition inevitably becomes one of wallets and highest budget instead of the game, skill and deck design. Who can throw their money down a hole the fastest.

The videogames are just about the merits of the game design, it's the full focus. You have a contained experience of all the good the game can offer without experiencing any of the bad meta stuff and then you are done, ready to move on and try another game.

eh, 'random or not' one might work. in a magic clone, a 2 card advantage in starting is enough that even the pros might choose the random hand sometimes. and for the casuals they'd just say fuck it and take the random hand every time.

>is fine as long as you are aware of that. We like Ashes here.
I agree it doesn't work for big 3 games and mainstream trash. if a TCG is going for lowest common denominator mouthbreathers, the game needs to be simple enough for that audience.

it does have high deck variety, but that's because it's a small game. same is true of many acgs. you think you have a meta with 30 or 40 competitive decks, but that's just because there's not enough players to pare it down to the best 2 or 3. you don't get enough reps.

I think it depends on deck size and how reliable you want decks to be. if your game's decks are small (like a 20 or 30), then keep it to 2 or 3 copies max. if your game has fuckhuge decks, you can allow a lot of copies. try not to use big 3 as an example of how to do it, because mtg and pokeman repeatedly tried using card count as a design crutch and then had it bite them in the ass.
the limit also doesn't need to be the same for all cards. you can have commons at 4, unc at 2, rares at 1 if you want. or have every card have a number on the frame that tells you how rare it is.

they're fine. it's important to remember that Highlander and EDH were invented to be a goofball fun format for a game where the tournament scene consistently got broken by decks being too consistent. 100 card Singleton guaranteed you'd never have the same game twice.
of course that was before WotC started printing to EDH specifically, and having 50 different named versions of the same card. I'm sure it's still fine if you stick to premodern.

Think about how many unique cards a player needs to have in order to make a deck. Also, stray away from letting the players have a clean playset of anything. The deck size should never be divisible by the copy of cards. There needs to be a sacrifice made when deck building.

Any reason? seems like you're making trouble for no gain. It's not like builders will actually make decks that are just 10x3 or 10x4 or whatever, because lots of good cards are things you don't want to draw in multiples.

Wait about a year after release to be sure nobody actually wants it. Then, when you know they're not going to reprint anything because the game is DOA, you make your move.
That's when you buy up all the remaining USA stock directly from your distributor buddies. You do have spare $500k available for hobby purchases, right?

Yugioh (the manga) was about various games, shadow games, and Duel Monsters was just one of the games in the setting, but it was popular enough to become the main thing after the first arc.
Anonymous No.96065848 [Report]

Because despite having vague weeb-fantasy cards, those cards were modeled off of Anime (brand) characters' decks. The larger IP came first for along time - that makes it brand.
Now that the anime has ended, Yugioh is starting to pivot towards being somewhere between brand and vague fantasy. Many more of the themes and cards are entirely game-original and have nothing to do with Duelists or Pharaohs, either implicitly or explicitly. In fact, the flow seems to be reversing with the release of "The Chronicles".

If more ramp happens, mono green could def be strong. Wing+Heero is scary as fuck because Breech 5 means he kills a full base when he blows up some mook

That's why I was thinking to mix it with my zeon stuff, Zaku 2's that can swing 3AP attacks aren't something to be scoffed at and makes the ramp up to wing easier.

There's definitely some play I feel. Wing Bird into Heero is a nasty level 3 play, which is a 5/5 Link. Combine that Char's high mobility and you have some serious threat

how long will the LR+ (or any of the "+") cards hold value? seems like way more god decks being opened then I thought would and no way the C+ maintain $10 since its 1/deck and the decks are $11-18 max. I thought shops would have less but plenty getting opened. People are asking $80-150 for the LR+ right now and that seems insane since we have zero clue how meta the cards will be and the starters are being opened en mass.

tcg shops fall into 4 categories
>comic/sportsball guy forced to change with the times who actively hates the people keeping his shop afloat
>scalper/tax evader who uses the shop to cook the books online easier and doesnt care if anyone buys in store and will inconsistently have events or close last minute due to hocking shit at events
>high on own supply guy whos happy he gets to run a shop and play card games
>the same guy as above but becomes one of the 1st two or broke and dead in a gutter after a few years

yeah, youre going to use more mini painting techniques than gunpla
>>96070722
$7 a model (if you can find it at msrp) and it comes with a starter deck, sucks that they arnt continuing the combo line for ST05. Tallgeese is about 6cm tall and leos are 5cm. Normal gunpla plastic, snapfit, very manageable nubs, and rebaseable so it can easly transfer over to the hex for real assemble. Seed pack has combination options already if you want to make skygrasper or combine it with the strike. Seed is shit tho

Its going to be a pain in the ass to get the assemble starter boxes, allocation was not kind to any LGS and its beginning to scalp like crazy
