Is there any hope for the digital card game genre? I swear this shit is even more cursed than fighting games.

This shit is one of the reasons why I've moved onto actual TCG for the most part. Pokémon with a bit of MTG on the side for occasions.

Will try the Digimon equivalent of Master Duel/Arena once it actually releases later this year or so.

Master Duel is really good though. It makes the best of a bad situation, the cancerous new design of card archetypes.

oh yeah definitely making the best of the situation

My issue with card games is that people have access to all the cards and the internet spreads all the information.
You don't come up with your own strategies anymore and try to make what you have work. You just copy what you see online or lose after 2 turns each time.

>>717755991
I come up with some of my own strategies. I'm still fairly new to this though so I really on the internet for help.

>>717755991
This, the only value YuGiOh really has is to kids on the playground where you have to piece together the best strat you can from what cards your allowance and trading got you

The CHAD TENPAI way.

I don't get why some effects in Master Duel that [require your oppnent to blindly pick a random card for you out of 3 or whatever cards] make the opponent pick, while others just automatically give you a random one without the opponent's involvement.

It'd be better if all of these effects were automated like the latter case.

>>717761723
The ones that automatically pick probably say randomly on them while the other one just says they pick which one.

The just an image thing is only on the English cards. In the actual Japanese version of the anime, they have written text on them.

That said it seems like you aren't allowed to read the other guy's cards in duels.

>>717762672
That's only in the dub.

In the original, they have all their effects and stats written on them.
The dub removes them due to American laws basically forbidding putting real "toys" in childrens' shows or something like that.

>>717762489
Well, my feelings don't care about your facts, how about it?

>>717762672
I mean in the anime no one seems to know what any card outside their own deck does.

Maxx C is the major reason modern yugioh is so bullshit. Just like decks started having built in chain blocking and/or set from the deck to get around ash decks also now play better under the roach. They can setup decent boards that have several points of interaction with fewer summons, they have condensed engines so they can run handtraps that help deal with roach or slow down their opponent, or they can just outright pass and continue playing on your turn. This is unhealthy and these bandaid fix cards that make the game "fair" only make it so the next batch if cards are even better than their counters leading to even more egregious powercreep.

Have you tried not being shit at the game?

I started playing the Onmyoji card game after being fed up with pay2win slop like Marvel Snap and it's actually quite good. It uses the MtG color system but card pools are split into unique "characters" that you draft cards from. For instance, if you want to play Blue, you might have one character with a lot of draw spells, one character with counterspells, one who can mill the opponent's deck, etc and then you build a deck around 4 of these characters and pick and choose cards from each of them.
The balance is good and there's no powercreep, characters from launch sets are still viable. Very f2p friendly as well. It's a shame the game isn't more popular, it deserves to be.

Not sure how modern Hearthstone's gone, but it's pretty much inevitable that if you want to keep adding new things power creep will happen regardless as you run out of ideas of what useful things a card can do at the lowest power levels and have to start exploring more powerful cards and then even the basic already existing sorts of cards will need their stats or whatever bumped up to keep up.

>>717769636
Digimon isn't afraid of sexualizing their cards, unlike Pokeshit.

>>717769092
Keeping maxx c is the cry of retards being contrarian when their viewpoints have consistantly been proven wrong.

Maxx C only helps combo decks because everyone is forced to run a 8-9 card package solely to out max C, which is a quarter to a sixth of your deck that does jackshit to combo
The only decks that truly benefit off maxx cs existance that arnt combo, are stun, which is a deck nobody wants to exist because its just the quivalent to a sacky omninegatefest combo for brainlets.

nobody can come up with a proper argument on why pot of greed is banned yet this shit is legal and in every deck

>>717769636
Digimon has been pandering to the exact same audience for over 20 years. They know that their core audience is over 30.
It would seem they don't care about getting new, younger fans.
Dunno if based or retarded.

>>717770836
only 3 of those are played in every deck, and only because Maxx C is legal

>>717770836
The idea is that Pot is usable in everything and stacks on top of existing draw power. But I don't really get why we just can't do something like limiting draw power and concepts like that instead of limiting cards themselves.

>>717770836
We have, you are just stubborn and retarded.
Pot of greed is unconditional and has no restrictions

that is true. but unlike Pot of Greed, Ash is an interactive card that makes duels more interesting

>>717771461
Ash was really meta dependent, lot of decks either sided or ignored on some lists, as now is mandatory again because fuwa alongside usual anti roach techs.

Ash do jackshit against modern decks.

>>717760183
Yeah. I miss the good ol days when the game was simple and you actually had a legitimate reason to use certain characters.

>>717770836
Do you really need both of those mulcharmy at 3?

>every deck now spam their own archetype turn 0 shit

>>717762397
It genuinely doesn't matter if the going first player has Maxx C.

Definitely not, Fuwalos is the only one worth playing most of the time. The others are format dependent. And in general only decks that can play enough HTs to begin with.

>>717778219
Gotcha, thanks anon

>>717777173
You’re gay.

>>717778219
The Charmies being legal would be a lot easier to swallow if not for the fact that Maxx C was semi-limited. The Charmie cards are the most obvious "Fixed" version of Maxx C possible and yet they insist on keeping the original problem card legal so you can theoretically engineer a gamestate where a player is drawing 3 cards for each special summon in a game where drawing 2 cards is a bannably strong effect.

>>717778219
its still 5 of the same shitty cancer card
roach should be banned

>>717779284
Another example to bring the point home, K9 Vanquish Soul runs a lot amount of HTs so you just see Mulcharmy in the side deck while they main deck the most powerful/versatile HTs.

>>717780018
>>717780130
Agreed, Maxx-C banned with the Mulcharmies being in the game is fine though I think Fuwalos is still a little too strong.

>>717759306
what about maxx c strikes you as fair exactly
>inb4 it stops le combo decks that built huge fuck off negate boards
those decks can run it too, typically to greater effect than other decks
>it helps older less powerful decks keep up
most of the archetypes/strategies in yugioh lose instantly if maxx c goes off because getting their own board set up gives the opponent too many resources to use against them

>>717772724
>Roach isn't on TCG and exactly same decks top.
two things about this
1. the mulcharmies (not sure if that's how it's spelled) are maxx c analogues and thus are functionally the same, and more importantly
2. the fact that the decks that rule tcg are often just as good in md indicates that roach being legal doesn't do anything to slow them down despite the roach defenders who insist the opposite
the good decks don't need roach to win and the bad decks can't win because roach exists, so at the end of the day it doesn't help anyone

>>717780234
The only changes I'd make to the Charmies would be having each individual effect be HOPT so you could apply Purulia and Fuwalos but not 2x Fuwalos. MAYBE they should've made it so Fuwalos was only ED or the deck rather than both. Other than that I'd say they're mostly fair given how many decks can play around/under them. Centurion comes to mind but even otherwise balls to the wall combo decks like White Forest have lower impact boards they can fall back on that don't access the ED as much. I remember I got Charmie'd and so I normal summoned Silvy, searched Woes, then used Diabellstar to set Morrian. Two disruptions and some followup for no draws.

>>717780364
MD follow OCG, in fact MD have lot of cards unhit because their stupid ass instance in not hitting decks too hard.

Hence why shit like kitkat is available while terraforming is banned.

>>717781293
that's true, though i still figure the metagames of tcg and md are worth comparing since there's a ton of overlap between the two and therefore things like deckbuilding sensibilities are close to identical between the two formats
obviously md decks look different because it's bo1 but the thought processes of players between tcg and md are basically the same

Hurry up with digimon sim, i'm tired of MD.

>>717759306
They should just errata maxx c so that it has the "you control no cards" requirement like the multcharmies.
That would instantly improve the game a dozen times over.

FREE HER

>>717780364
Maxx C just adds more variability to games, it doesn't change the meta. Sometimes you just get bullshit non-games where someone resolves Maxx C and then their opponent auto-loses because their choice was between an un-interactable Vanity's Emptiness or giving their opponent 5x Pot of Greed.

The only exception is ironically when Maxx C boosts the power of balls-out combo decks by giving them an additional win condition. Like Tasuku FTKing with PUNK in the MD World Cup because he summoned a bunch of times, or Dark World/Six Sam looping infinite non-OPT special summons to just deck their opponents out. Even from personal experience I have won with Runick Fur Hire just because the combination of 20+ special summons and the Runick banishes let me access the mill win condition in what was actually a mid-tier combo deck compared to actual meta strategies at the time.

>>717781723
...

>decks are stronger now than ever before but it's HEALTHIER because endboards are weaker

What is with TCG retards? Isn't this much worse than negate slop boards of the past you could 1 shot with specific board breakers

>>717781459
half your matches are vs opponents vomiting out an unremovable murloc board and rolling their face on teh keyboard to win

>>717781781
Maxx doesn't change the meta because there are many main deck outs to it. Like the old argument of Heavy Storm discouraging set 5 or backrow spam decks.
Heavy never did that, it was occsionally punished by going against a non-backrow deck like Frognarchs, but for the most part players still set 5 and ran counters because it was protection against OTKs.
Sacking Heavy against a board with no answers and then OTK was much rarer than OTK on an empty field, or OTK with 1 set. 1 set might as well be an open field. And this was an era where backrow was the only viable non engine because HT weren't strong yet.
Maxx actually did its job during the Snake-Eyes Tenpai meta with x3 Maxx and x3 Fuwalos. Snake-Eyes couldn't combo turn 1 in that environment and ran floodgates as cope play. And Tenpai was actually better than Snake-Eyes because it could reliable resolve its combos.

>Isn't this much worse than negate slop boards of the past you could 1 shot with specific board breakers
no, "draw the out" is a worse playing experience. if your opponent is playing Maliss and you don't have the handtraps to stop them from going full combo, you can just scoop instantly instead of having to sit and watch them masturbate hoping you'll "draw the out". and depending on your hand, you can win going second with only engine cards as long as you can interrupt some of the opponent's combo with handtraps

>fuwalos is the only worth playing
Actually its looking like purulia might be the worst designed of the bunch, you discard it during your own turn to punish turn 0 interaction from shit like k9, bystial etc. you might as well because you can't use it once you set up.

>>717762397
>staring into a board you know you might be able to break but probably can't otk
The fact that you think you need to OTK to win is its own problem

>>717764125
>They can setup decent boards that have several points of interaction with fewer summons, they have condensed engines so they can run handtraps that help deal with roach or slow down their opponent, or they can just outright pass and continue playing on your turn.
Maxx has existed since 2011 and this design change only began in 2024+. The idea that you could set up a cope board more powerful than endboards of decks in 2020 is unthinkable.
The flip side of the more powerful decks is handtraps are weaker and board breakers completely irrelevant, while floodgate S/T more powerful than ever and floodgate monsters dogshit unless they are also an interruption.

The game design philosophy started to change by 2012/2013 actually. We went from combo decks like infernity, plant synchro, six sams, and chaos dragons dominating to dino rabbit, wind-ups, and inzektors all of which didn't need to summon more than a few times to set up a good board. Which caused maxx c to mainly just be a side deck card.

Of course over time longer combos started to take hold of the game again with them having ways to end on half decent boards in a few summon. Then we hit critcal mass with PoTE and we just been in combo hell since.

We need to go back to an edison-style format again, short combo decks that just went straight to the point were miles better than these modern decks that do a gorillion interactions just to end on the same generic endboard as all modern decks

Everything I know about digimon I learned from TTS and 2000s renamon flashes. Is this game for me?

>>717793845
they just need to make time travel formats a permanent thing in Master Duel
if they design it like Speed Duels where you can only play "2010 ranked" using cards from "2010 packs", but you can also use those cards in regular ranked, it would be a way to give players more ways to play the game while still being financially viable for Konami
imagine if they release unique alt-arts for Chaos Sorc, Dark Armed Dragon, Caius in those specific time-travel packs, don't you think whales would go crazy?

>>717787670
Capeslop therefore I don't care and won't play it.
My favorite Yugioh season was GX by the way.

I hate that Magic has become the Fortnite of TGCs
I hate that the next set that isn't Funkopop-tier slop is in fucking January so I'll have nothing to do until then
I hate that you can't go one second on any website related to it without being bombarded with more upcoming cards or special editions of cards or whatever
I hate that the underpaid skeleton crew of jeets that code this game don't have time to do anything other than add new cards and cosmetics so minor but annoying visual bugs take 3 years to get fixed

But above all else, I fucking love Magic. Most TCG players on /v/ have no fucking clue what they're missing when it comes to drafting. Drafting is love. Drafting is life.

I'm drafting right now, in fact.

Pick one Rust Harvester, pick two Sunstar Chaplain, pick four Oreplate Pangolin and the next two picks are two Starport Securities. This is what it's all about.

>>717797615
it's a shame 'cuz nouvellez are super fun and have a neat aesthetic, but, like, i wanna play fast food slop :(

Pick 8 Terrapact Intimidator. Seven players let this card go by and it landed on my lap. One of the best uncommons on the set and it fits perfectly on my deck. Do any of you have any idea how good this feels?

Got another Sunstar Chaplain, my deck is lacking in removal but aside from that it's so perfect I could cry.

This card isn't even that good but fuck it, just rare drafting to play with a new card I haven't tried yet. The rest of my deck can support it.

I had let this spell go for the sake of a more efficient removal spell but it wheels back to me. Is this even good on my deck? I can't not pick it. 5 mana wrath spell. Imagine the dopamine if someone shits out their board and you get them with this. MTG is the best game on the planet.

>>717748551 (OP)
No, because the finance bros turned the games into a collecting/stock market simulator. You know its bad when r*ddit has entire subreddits dedicated to buying/selling these cards for money, and dont even play the game.
And of course this then affected pricing models for the digital product... somehow.
Real card game chads play dominion, or mtg forge adventure mode. Everything else is jewish slop

I wish I could gift a lot of my wildcards to /v/ bros to try to get them to draft MTG Arena. I barely play constructed and what I do play doesn't require nearly this much shit. Brawl alone lets me play for tens of hours with 20 wildcards spent every 6 months at most.

But of course Wizards would never allow that.

>>717753926
Maxx C is based for scaring fags from spending 20 minutes comboing turn 1

i'm still new I only have like 100 hours but I have been playing only brawl with a marina vendrell 5 color and a black blue zombie deck standard is way too expensive

>>717805541

kek

>>717805553
Yeah, brawl is the most economic way to play MTG, while draft is the funnest and the one I spend all the gold and gems on. The wildcards just kind of slowly trickle out as a result of those other two. Then occasionally I craft an expensive standard deck and play for a bit, but the metas always get old fast.

Correct, but when the entire game is unbearable, you might as well have one that makes going second not a 70% loss since Konami refuses to fix anything.

>>717813612
Looks like a really promising first wave but I fear that the deck itself is pidgeonholed by locking into Tuners, whereas a lot of Synchro decks like being able to dip into a general toolbox, which naturally includes non-tuners. And while the cards themselves are strong with only 3 main deck monsters you'd definitely want another archetype or engine to support it. I do like that it's designed in a way to have extra effects playing into an established board, like Mix being able to get a pop with Playlist/Loudness War or if it's being used for a regular synchro summon.

But ultimately I have to compare it to existing synchro strategies like Centurion or White Forest. And cards like Loudness War that only gain any attack at all going against a Synchro strategy do not stack up nicely compared to Cosmic Blasar or Baronne.

>>717813612
> you can Synchro Summon 1 Tuner
??

>>717816798
All of their archetypal synchros share the gimmick of being Synchro Tuner monsters who's materials require at least two tuners and cannot be made with non-tuners. Every monster in this archetype is a Tuner, they have no non-tuners. Interestingly, though they have no hard Xenolock, the deck is functionally locked to it's archetype as there is only one other Tuner Synchro Monster that doesn't require a non-tuner; Visas Amritara. XX-Saber Gottems also doesn't require a non-tuner, but is not himself a tuner so cannot be summoned by most of the quick synchro effects.

>yugioh

>archetypes so dogshit they killed their story
What did they mean by this?

>>717817547
That their archetypes were so dogshit they killed the story. Do try to keep up

>>717817075
Interesting, it looks like Vision Resonator is very broken in this deck, almost like a double extender but the payoff is too poor

>>717817547
I think they sensed it had a weak reception so rather than stretch it out with another reincarnation cycle like the later cards implied with Visas Samsara, they just decided to let it fade off with the implication that Visas was trapped in a reincarnation cycle but would eventually break out because he was finally altering his strategy (Working with the -hearts rather than defeating them). No need to double down on something that doesn't work and considering the Snake-Eyes story was actually good I much prefer it to sticking to another year or two of "The man with no emotions attempts to synchro summon a personality".

And yeah it didn't help that every Visas archetype was a disaster of card design. Tears are still the most busted deck ever printed, Kashtira and Scareclaw were floodgate turbo, and Mannadium is everything that's wrong with modern Yugioh card design in a single archetype.

>>717817874

Negates are the worst design choice.

It's basically saying "no" and ending the "discussion", completely shutting down the opponent.
Other forms of disruption are fairer.
Ryzeal's destruction in response to an activation (just the destruction, not things that follow like Aggregator), as an example, is a healthier form of disruption.
My search goes through, but I lose a body. There are concessions being made on both sides.
Negations are just "you get nothing, I keep everything". It's even worse when it's a high chain of negates, because typically one side wins the entire chain, basically going +3 or higher, and the duel becomes even more one-sided.

That's about as soulless as you can get with Synchro and other engines can do that but better.

What exactly wouldn't be considered a flop in this situation? They're just youtube videos you can watch for free. Did they expect that to spike sales or some shit?

The nice thing about playing meta instead of rogue/petdeck is that there aren't retards breathing down your neck about how you """should""" play it, which is basically just telling you to remove the core and replace it with """better""" (meta) cards.

It's probably a budget thing. You look at the episodes and the actual animation is stiff or CGI. Most of the polish is in the key frames and the voice acting.
Konami made these episodes on a shoestring and is spending 0 effort marketing it, so the best way to get it out there is YouTube and hope viral marketing gets it exposure.

Konami really needs to take Maliss out behind the shed. I am so sick of needing to run Lancea so I don't autolose to it only to have it brick up my hand in every other matchup.

>>717831619
On the bright side, Maliss only gets weaker from here on. The @ignister stuff is a psyop, it makes the endboard bigger and more susceptible to something like super poly.
On the other hand it's hard to hit this deck without banning one of the ED monsters, or you have to limit every name, Allure, Gold Sarc and still they can play with Cynet Mining etc. After Apollousa ban I don't know how you hit this.
