Flesh n Blood?
One Piece?
Gundam?
Lorcana?
Wixoss?
Keyforge???
Star Wars??

I hate TCGs on principle, the distribution model is basically the grandfather of gacha games, especially if you want to remain competitive instead of staying confined to recess duels where neither player is has been opening packs.
LCGs at least respect you enough to sell you the entire game at once with no rarity systems.
Give me a netrunner digital adaptation, itd be wonderful.

Pokemon would be funny. I don't think I know a single person who ever played the real game.

None. Digital cards have no resale value. Accounts have no resale value when servers go offline

Weiss Schwarz even though I'm sure it would be a nightmare with all the licensing
I wouldn't mind trying any of the ones you listed though but I just want that one so I can play with my cousin again

Pokemon TCG Live already exists, unless you're trying to play a set prior to BW.

hololive

One Piece for sure. The current unofficial sim sucks ass and is also really in-your-face monetized. Makes me wonder why they haven't struck them down yet.
Look at this shit. There's an ad on the main page, and there are straight up AD POPUPS for some paid useless feature (mulligan trainer) whenever you get into a ranked game

[*slaps down Charizard, Dark Magician and Darth Vader*]

"King me!"

Duel Masters

None, card games should only be physical and played in person.

Digimon, which we are getting fucking finally

I stand by this on principle, but in reality i'd rather eat shit than have to sit in front of another tcg player

jinteki.net
yw, anon

Sounds like you're just in a bad game. I've been playing a lot of Lorcana and the community is refreshingly nice and relatively normal.

sorry your anime waifu coomer slop is infested with those guys. try playing a good game?

The fire emblem one. Can't remember what it's called.

Keyforge would be a smash hit if it would be maintained by a competent company at any point it is lifetime. thecrucible.online/ is nice but not really a replacement for a client with an official support

LCG are all slop.

Old Metazoo but it's firmly in never ever territory now that the reboot has been released

They stopped making cards for that one so it's not gonna happen officially

Guess I'm in 3 bad games, then. You're not the first to say that about Lorcana, couldn't tell you why its an outlier if even since I don't know the game very well

try playing a good game?

Try sucking my nuts? The majority of tcgs are norious for having dogshit playerbases you disingenuous retard

t. gambling addict

All good competitive games have a cost barrier to entry, Like golf. You don't have to buy boosters. You can buy the cards from other people.

I think the Disney theme attracting more normies is part of it for Lorcana, but there's also a conscious effort in the community to keep the game family friendly even when kids aren't around, so that helps maintain standards. There's also a lot of refugees from other games with shit communities who are using this as a chance to start over and make sure this one doesn't go to shit.

Lorcana

how active is your local scene?

Flesh and Blood and Altered.
I don't want other Bandai CGs getting sims because itd take away from Digimon Alysion. Hell they should've just folded Union Arena and Gundam into the Wan Piss game so that they wouldn't have so many games eating away at each other

Very active. Half a dozen stores all running weekly leagues, each getting a dozen to 20 people per week. Each does store championships and other tournaments, and we have a local Discord for the community to organize going to other big events.

Misclick, meant for

These. Duel Masters Play somehow dumb down the mana system further because they thought that cycling mana was too hard to do in a smartphone. Once you get one color, all of the mana in your mana pool gets that color in addition to the existing color.

Gay.
Less gay.

Lorcana is huge around here. Honestly made me a little disappointed on my local nerds who gobbled down disneyslop like it was high fructose corn syrup.

Disney aside it's actually a really solid game. No constant interrupts and instants, no one turn win hand trap bullshit, but still has enough depth to be competitive.

Duel Masters or Weiss Schwarz

Damn I don't remember making this post
I remember how many gambling addicts and scalpers were involved in my local scene and it makes me sick.

couldn't tell you why its an outlier if even since I don't know the game very well

Disney adults are cringe but they are significantly more well adjusted than most TCG players

They take loans to spend over 2k easily on the regular for trips to disneyland how is that well adjusted

the digimon one, which we're getting soon

No constant interrupts and instants

But that's bad. Why the fuck would I want to take turns playing solitaire.

which card game has the highest amount of interaction

You don't, you interact with your opponent's board on your turn.

Boring.

The only good thing about TCGs are the art. If there wasn't a game tied to these pretty pictures, I don't know if I would've cared. For Duel Links, I only made a Princess Plant deck because I like the art of the Plant Princesses themselves. Trying to grind for all of the cards to make it viable, however, was a nightmare.

Having to put the horrifying looking Lord Poison in the deck because of it's useful effect.

Having to grind out Yami Marik just to unlock Lord Poison.

Learning the beautiful looking Botanical Girl is not that great against the not so beautiful looking Violet Witch because VW can search for 1500 DEF vs BG's 1000, and BG has a "When" vs VW's "If" (i.e. BG can "miss the timing", *sigh).

Having to spend a FUCKTON of gems just to get two copies of Lonefire Blossom out of the godawful gatcha.

Not to mention getting the Plant Princesses themselves. The only reason I didn't pull my hair out trying to get them was because I already had some of them and I had enough BOX chips to get the others.


The worse part about it is that Plant Princess isn't even that great of a deck. It's absolutely not meta, I just wanted a deck consisting of pretty plant girls. Something I as myself would getting the real live version of these cards would have been easier, playing the TCG be damn.

LotR TCG was absolute peak

lotr04267.jpg - 357x497, 85.9K

Yeah I'd rather play something like YGO where we interrupt each other six times then one person concedes because they now can't pull of their turn 2 win.

Probably MTG.

Says art is the only good thing

posts absolute dog shit art

Duel Masters already has one, Asia only ofc since the game isn't officially supported outside of Asia.

Not in current standard at least. You lose turn 2 and there's pretty much nothing you can do about it. Yugioh at least lets you try to stop your opponent

The comparison here is to the average TCG player anon
And a trip to disneyworld is somehow a better use of money than spending hundreds of dollars on the latest cardboard releases

you dont have to gamble, you just have to deal with the cancerous secondhand market that's fueled by gambling

Eat shit and die.

I cast princess ariel to sing a melody to your Pirate Donald Duck and put 2 sparkle counters on your Aladin reducing your funkywunks points.

Yeah nah miss me with that shit.

wasn't MTG notorious for being a boring slop until turn 4+ when people instantly die?
it's just a slower YGO.

Why can't games have good interactions from turn 1

Digimon, but this time don't make it a shitty phone game.

Yugioh GOAT format

he won

1600.jpg - 749x1050, 235.81K

I cast big titty anime bitch who summons gay faggot dragon who has a bajillion power and is a half demon and also my dad

Yeah you can miss me with THAT shit. I also like how you don't even try to deny that YGO gameplay is shit.

MtG has interactions from turn 1 unless it's a control mirror or something. It also depends on the format.

This reminds me of the early 2000s where we had thousands of low effort card liscended card games for literally any remotely popular property. I lost all my beast quest cards and I still have WWE top trumps Crispinwah included.

Half the time when people talk about competitive Magic they don't even mean real competitive Magic, they're talking about Commander or some other make believe format they play in some dude's basement

do i get a story/scenario mode and PvE content, too? or is it just a PvP client? i'd love a Digimon game like that.

Commander is literally the only format now, at least if you ask WOTC.

Probably 2nd best art in the TCG
1st is the Kricketune in the park for me

Thing is, you had to come up with those names while I didn't lol
Tell me which one is cooler this or pic related.

file.png - 1200x1674, 2.71M

show me one client that isn't a shitty mobile port.
As long as it's on steam i'm good, they already have MD why would'nt they just do the same shit

best art

Those disfigured stickpeople

lmao

Power creep : the game

retard

There's multiple ways to play tripple triad online(legally), I'd rather they make one for the FF tcg itself

That Donald is cooler, no questions asked. YGO art is shit.

retard

You don't need any of those fuckyouexpensive cards to play the game, those are mostly collectorbait. The one thing to applaud about pokemon is that being competitive is fairly cheap.

and also my dad

The pokemon TCG isn't real, it's a glorified stock exchange and money laundering, no one actually plays it

Oh you are one of those disney adults. Carry on then.

Please for the love of god make a flesh and blood client. Nobody ever wants to play it with me.

I cast big titty anime bitch who summons gay faggot dragon who has a bajillion power and is a half demon and also my dad

trying to argue that this doesn't sound dope as hell

Gets proved wrong

Has no argument

The intelligence of the average YGO player.

That doesn't change the fact that the people that buy those cards play the game and are the same weirdos you can interact with that make the playerbase weird
Again we're talking about what makes the Lorcana playerbase more normal than other TCGs, the base game being cheap to play doesn't suddenly make the weirdo whales normal.

You proved MY point, thougheverbeit.

You know what? Fuck you cunt I'm so fucking mad right now I'll have sex with my big titty anime bitch so I won't be so mad.

That's just because disney is normalfagcore, no need of further explanation really.

thats card games in general

What would be a good IP to make into a TCG that doesn't already have one?

be popular ip and get decnt art

Smash

I'm more curious about specific IPs though. Off the top of my head the only ones that come to mind would be Gacha IPs since they have tons of characters.

So basically a TCG for Nintendo characters in general? I could see that working.

SMT/Persona.

it's especially bad with pokemon. I work retail, occasionally you'll get some guy that thinks they're clever for going for YGO instead but every day there's a dozen 20 year olds that think they're gonna become the next logan paul or some shit, trying to shill their fucking youtube channel to me while i'm barely holding in my disgust. the only thing that brings me solace is knowing that, with how volatile tcg's really are and with how they're buying buying individual packs from a dozen different stores rather than getting cases, they're gonna be lucky to break even.

I was thinking of Smash specifically

Character cards

Stage cards

Stage hazard cards

Item cards

Technique cards

etc

Needs to be evergreen to properly work as a tcg or else you'll have to introduce set rotation to in order to keep printing cards

So how expensive is the most expensive card in your favorite card game?

card type bloat

unironic cancer, keep the amount of card types to a low number ideally 3.

Man, pokemon art sucks ass in comparison to digimon tcg

Character cards wouldn't go into the deck but would decide your "color" like in one piece

If someone found a way to actually integrate mechanics well, some people would go ballistic for sports cards that actually let you play fantasy sports like how blood bowl works.
Licensing would be a bitch though, but the big leagues aren't going anywhere and athletes are constantly being added or traded so there would be no shortage of subjects

That much is a given, especially considering how Movie based TCGs always fail.
Something like the LotR was a cool idea for a TCG, but was always going to fail due to a limited number of characters.

just play eternal card game

campaign

PvE gauntlet mode

multiplayer casual or ranked

draft against AI or other players

monthly draft tournament

incredibly generous f2p model

pinnacle of for-digital CCGs

The website for the game says it's only on phone.

It's honestly baffling that Sports cards didn't always have a TCG built into them, and even more absurd that they didn't immediately make them a TCG immediately after Magic became popular.

I regret dropping Pokémon for MtG so fucking much.

I want an offline MTG client with optional online with a grand over-elaborate story, a tournament mode for all formats, customization for opponent ai and the ability to replace card art with my own. Forge is the closest I'm ever getting to that, but I'll take it.

The only thing I truly like about YGO is Exodia. The concept of assembling all 5 pieces of a forbidden puzzle to unleash obliterating power upon your enemy will always be the hypest shit. Pokemon, MTG, nor Duel Masters has and mostly like never will have such a thing in their game.

th-694278698.jpg - 474x478, 62.46K

The upcoming gundam one.
Cardifght Vanguard. I've been following that game since more or less the start and have only actually played it maybe 3 times because there isn't any kind of local scene for it where I am, that shit hasn't grown in 12 years but is somehow still alive. The only way I've been able to play other than the very rare occasion of being at the right place at the right time is through the now 10 years old 3DS games, and the newer single player games.

They already do this in Europe, the company Panini makes a TCG for the premier league but the gameplay is incredbly simplistic so nobody actually plays the intended game.

Damn brother that game is expensive as fuck

Yeah I pirated that shit. The predecessor never went on sale beyond 10% for years too, and it has double the price in new set DLC. Fuck that.

Duel Masters literally has a mechanic where you can assemble a big ass monster card using 4 other monsters

iirc there's been a few based on football and I think basketball but they're pretty shit

TCGs have a rep of being "just games" and sports trading cards have always been seen as collectibles to protect. It doesn't mesh unless you sell them with protective sleeves which isn't financially a wise investment.
I might try to take a stab at it on my own time. Obviously not using real people but just a proof of concept. Would probably not involve shuffling the player deck though, and have some dice.
I might use the backyard sports characters as placeholders.

Pokemon has had that mechanic for ages, with both 2 and 4 cards. Yugioh rush duels lets you combine 3 monsters into one. But they're still not Exodia.

couldn't afford TCGs as a kid

played budget shit in teens and young adult

come back to it as a salaryman adult with money and can play almost any format in any game that isn't MTG's $5000 legacy decks

every game

every single game

is currently beyond ass in balancing

ones that allegedly aren't are anime games that don't have any locals near me like digimon

Aren't anime like digimon

why did he mean by this?

Average tcg player reading comprehension on full display.

they eventually ported it over to magic too but I don't think people are especially excited by meld cards
might want to work on your reading comprehension, anon

dont think its asia only but the client is in japanese only but there is a translation mod that translates the cards

didn't know they printed non black characters

I used to play Force of Will and loved it, but they never made an online client and I got too tired of putting up with the Chinese incels who made up 95% of the player base in my area. Apparently the game still exists almost a decade later so there's no excuse for it not to exist.

Sometimes you have to force the issue

Force of Will was a fun break from MTG for a few months but the devs had no idea how to balance it.

Before you guys castrate me, I'm just curious how the game plays is all
I actually heard some guys talking about it at a random LGS I was at one day and now I want to try it

god, I wish mtg's issues were as simple as the DEIslop you're whinging about. I can almost tolerate that in comparison to the fortnite-ification of the game, or how any non-licensed set is set on a theme park world, or the frankly absurd power creep in the last few years

3rd vtuber specific tcg releasing this year

Just stick to collabs with pre-existing games you niggers.

no, that's very far from what it is, there are solid interactions from the start

it's just a slower YGO

I don't think there is a single TCG out there faster than Yugioh

funny thing is this isn't even the first vtuber card game. I know literally nothing about it but I'd wager a bet it's just standard fare for japanese TCGs (aka a duel masters ripoff) which is leagues ahead of shit like v-card which was so bad they had to basically re-do the entire fucking thing once previews were sent out and everyone complained

gacha vtuber tranime pedo shit

You SHOULD castrate yourself.

wasn't cygame making another card game?
whatever happened with that?

Get a few friends together and play Millenium Blades, its an all-in-one box that is about playing a card game.
You can pretend to have the experience of playing a new TCG without having to actually play (or continuously pay for) one. Even down to the simulated experience of a pricegouging aftermarket, wild imbalance shifting metas and overpowered cards being broken on purpose. With most of the buying/trading phase being timed so you cannot possibly optimize the hell out of your deck, just wing it and have fun.
If youre down for some ameritrash its pretty entertaining. I have enough board games with lots of thinking so having something that plays fast and loose is endearing to have in my collection

that doesn't adapt well to a TCG

Wasnt it another shadowverse? I think it died after they couldnt balance the original and censored every card

Pokémon has had multiple official clients since 2009. All of which are always vastly superior to whatever other TCGs offer.

Ballancing usually means slowass games like that garbage format people play qith commons in MtG. That one actually got me to drop MtG for good.

This. But it would have to be a single purchase game with the option of earning new decks or purchasing random packs by power, since all decks are pre-built anyways.

I just only want Duel Masters first like 12 english sets. I want that and nothing else.
If we get translated DUEMA I guess that's fine too but the first 12 sets were kino.

June 17th this year last I heard.

Board game about playing a competitive TCG

No thanks, I'd rather kill myself than play an autobiography

I don't know if anyone ever sold a Medusan Lord.

shrugit.png - 234x231, 98.62K

All of which are always vastly superior to whatever other TCGs offer.

Nigga are you serious? The games visuals look like ass

anybody can let themselves get scammed by a grading company and list something for a retarded price on ebay, show me sold listings.

I didn't think One Piece would adapt well to TCG either but it did
Just need someone good to work on it

It doesn't matter. It has more features and is more accessible than whatever the competition has.

I hate digital card games. I hate video games that use a card mechanic. I don't even know why

I like the Final Fantasy TCG a lot and it doesn't make sense how it never got a digital client since Square could develop it pretty easily.

Wan Piss tcg is literally a copy paste of Digimon but with elements of vanguard to fit into the whole pirate crew concept.

I mog you.

file.png - 793x761, 643.38K

Same issue

Except I only like magic

It's all either woke hatslop or spongebob faggotry now

Truly a tragedy.

I will get into this when there is pekora tribal support.

I legit thought that this was for the V-Card TCG, which might well be the biggest TCG scam of the year

made by Gamersupps

VTuber goonerslop

sold out instantly to scalpers

minimum deck size of 50, no maximum

you win a game by winning 5 rounds of play

you put 3 of your cards into ante every round

losing once leads to your opponent claiming at least 15 of the cards from your deck

yes, it's their cards now, hope you didn't spend too much on your shiny cardboard

Were those cards center to your strategy? They're gone now

Oh also, if you don't have the right cards to make a play on turn 1 after a mulligan, you just lose the round

This means that if you don't draw the right cards due to losing key cards you can just chain into more losses

Did you make a 50 card deck for consistency because that was the lowest legal deck value?

Silly anon, a single loss of 15 cards will make your deck illegal to continue playing!

You better add in some more cards from your collection if you don't want to be disqualified!

The rules were so impressively bad that they might qualify for the next master rule, holy shit

a secondhand market its preferable to having to play against poorfags like you

iirc it was also just glorified war-style "high number wins" like it's still fucking 1996
I do wonder what made them think it was a good idea to make a game built around ante. I'm sure they just watched Battle City and thought "wowee that'd be really cool!" and didn't do an ounce of research to see that magic dropped their ante system really fucking hard, really fucking fast for legal reasons.

You cant hide your jew nose you filthy scalper.

TCGs are fucking disgusting, TCGfags are not different from nftfags, it's like nfts and gachas had a bastard baby and sold them to manchildren for a mediocre excuse of gameplay

Somewhere I still have my Age of Empires cards. God that was a terrible card game.

didn't know that thanks!

I wish LCGs where more popular on the table and the internet. The gameplay is somewhat comparable but it doesn't come with the inherent gambling scheme and jewery.
Stuff like summonerwars is actually really good but doesn't need constant investment or time investment like TCGs.

Though, in a market where Gachas are gaining more and more spotlight is assume this hope is absolutely foolish

schizo

subhuman

oh no, what a huge loss for the TCG community

nobody plays it because it's a shit game

It kinda hurts watching old MTG tournament coverage knowing how hard you missed the boat.

I'd rather just keep playing casually with the bros instead of playing against a bunch of joyless meta goblins running nothing but the same 3 metard decks on some shitty online client, cause that shit is repetitive and boring.

Flesh n Blood?

One Piece?

Gundam?

Lorcana?

Wixoss?

Keyforge???

Star Wars??

No digimon, why?

I don't remember battle city having 15+ card ante

ygo is the only good tcg, the art looks like an actual monster card game not the crap gay from other tcg today only sells because "muh beatiful art""

Lmao good one anon.

Digimon

Pokemon, since poketrannies can't find any of the cards IRL thanks to """investors""" lmao

People who buy those cards unironically do not play the game. There might be 2-3 max rarity fags in a 50 person community of players.

Tcg-one for the good stuff like base-fossil and ex era

Is YGO Early Days worth it if I’ve only (fondly) watched the first anime series and played Eternal Duelist Soul?
I have zero interest in modern YGO right now

Very real odds I'd play a gundam tcg online client if it wasn't total fucking ass, and honestly at least for a bit even if it was

they already got pocket

Pokemon singles are dirt cheap because anything other than fancy alt arts that go for 400 dollars is basically worthless.

isn't Yugioh the most mainstream waifu game? It's certainly not MtG or Pokemon

depends on what you want exactly, but Kingdom Duels is a thing if you don't care about physical cardboard

It's like 10 copies of the same game + Reshef/Sacred Cards/Capsule Monsters, so probably not regardless

not a Komiya appreciator

way to out yourself as a slopfag

I have an autistic tendency to play these collection titles to completion, even if they contain similar titles
For example I pretty much played the battle network collection volume 2 back to back, despite 4/5/6 having near identical versions with very slight differences
So the sameness of the games isn’t a huge deal to me if I can find a hook worth sinking into
Part of my interest in Early Days is the earlier titles using the manga/season 0 aesthetic and content

Maplestory TCG
Played it a lot, owned most cards, it's fun.

OIP (22).jpg - 474x632, 70.2K

I'd say it's debatable which between Pokemon or YGO is THE waifu game
but rest assured it's definitely one or the other

image (7).png - 1717x1000, 3.25M

None of the big 3 are really waifu games though. Yes they all have at least some pretty women, but none of them are a proper waifu game where most/all cards are anime girls.

Man Duelyst deserved better, MECHAZ0R was fun as fuck and I loved the obelysks

Sex With Purrely!!!
SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEX!!!
