@victory_taste I think the conversation is pushing towards a big 4 than dethroning magic. There's more to a TCG than just tournament attendance, and MTG sells insane volume. While I think OPTCG is pushing at that door, I'd give it another couple years. Resilience over multiple years matters

@EmirichuYT It sucks, because you get emotionally detached to those characters because you know something is going to happen. Friend did it to me with one piece and bummed me out, since the arc was 10/10, but I couldn't throw my whole heart into it 😭

While I can appreciate the sentiment, most TCGs would go under if they printed the way Pokemon does that facilitates min rarity costing nothing. I think leaning on rare alt arts definitely helps, but again only financially viable if people care about the alts in the first place

A top-cutting deck in the Pokémon Trading Card Game (2500+ players) costs just over $30 US. There's no reason a TCG deck should cost hundreds. For ANY game 🫡

@Cross_Aii We need to push for more viable setups. You're already NOT paying for travel, stay, food etc with online events where you would be fronting all that for IRL events. The LEAST you could do is invest in a not garbo setup for your cam.

@MBTYuGiOh @FarfaYGO @RarranHS I think the biggest "difficulty" with learning ygo is how far away the modern core gameloop is to the base game. Learning the base game gives 0 context into how the game ACTUALLY plays. Whereas with say, mtg, while at ahigh level it's more nuanced. It's still: land cast go

@MTG_Arena We need more details on codes/special XP events. From what we have now, I will not reach level 100 by end of season, AND I miss a level for every day I don't play up to 3 wins + quest, which asking for ~72 consecutive days of hour+ long play is nuts for a non mobile game

@SaffronOlive There's cost to hosting an event at a venue, and coordinating people into pods, having prizing etc. When all systems in place, this is not true for Brawlidays, and is a cash grab on what is free for every other format that has a consistent queue in the game atm

Looks like NONE of the Card Fest/Games are going to be livestreamed this year. This is an INCREDIBLE loss for all of the Bandai Card Games Communities. I understand limitations/constraints BUT, as someone who has done a LOT of in-person coverage personally, it's boggling.
