Wait, the 1st set already released? Haven't heard a single thing about it.

Cards that can interrupt your opponent during their turn, for or against?

>>97914689
for. interaction is good.

>>97914739
Interaction can be achieved without slowing down tempo

>>97914745
but slowing down tempo is fun too unless you just want unga bunga me big combo

>>97914689
Against. One of my major pet peeves about Magic. My turn is my turn, and if you were playing, it would be your turn. We ARE interacting, we each have turns. I'd like to be able to carefully plan my turn during your turn, and not have to change my plans every time you decide to yell STOP. Fuck that. You play on YOUR turn, and if I 'Unga bunga me big combo', that's YOUR problem.

>>97914689
Against, kind of for the reasons >>97914808 brings up. Free interaction creates mini turns where you wait to the last moment to make your plays at all times, and that's boring riskless design. I'm not against interrupting your opponent's turn, but it has to be controlled. Dedicated reversal cards with conditional activations are better than free-playable instants. Telegraphing, commitments, and bluffing are better than the flexibility of just having it in hand.
Hard as hell to do in a TCG setting and not have people bitch about it. People sit on the two extremes and either want to combo off free or have cards active with little to no tell. Anyone else just plays Netrunner.

>>97914689
Card games are combat sims, a guy will shoot you in the gut as soon as he sees an opportunity so card games should reflect that

>>97914689
Maybe it's because I was introduced to the hobby through magic back in 2001 when I was 7 but I think games without instant speed type play are kind of boring.

>>97914689
For because otherwise it's either aggro world if it can't get interacted with or it's ramp. I like being able to slow down gameplans. Yes I'll also get interrupted but it makes for good length back and forth games.

>>97915393
I was introduced to tcgs through Magic, too, but I ended up the opposite way. I remember the last game of Mtg I played was a 6 player commander game, but because we were all interrupting the shit out of each other, we kept losing track of whose actual turn it was. Now I play Lorcana, and I'm soooo much happier.

>commander

Blurple Barbie is a deck for niggers. Game would be more enjoyable if they just limit Barbatos, Barbatos Adapt, and Amuro.

>>97912941
The 2 starters makes sense so you can have full copies, boxes however it's more surprising that you are able to get all of those really
>>97915734
Considering they revealed last shooting b4 the list we knew amuro wasn't getting touched
With the CCA confirmation it really doesn't help
Sure they'll likely make up a new era right one for the Nu but just like with quattro/char, the og will still count. It would require specific stipulations to not & I can't imagine that kind of effort being put in. Even if an attempt is made to do different colors, that too can be countered in a similar fashion since Char is also getting a starter that is opposite to his current green/white.

>>97914689
I like the way Duel Masters does it. There are plenty of effects that allow you to use cards on your opponent's turn (shield triggers being the most well known), but the timing is always during windows after your opponent has finished doing something and normally requires your confirmation to continue (eg. after your shields are broken, after your opponent attacks but before you declare blockers, at the end of your opponent's turn, when you would lose the game, etc.).
So you still get that mid-turn interaction but there's no risk of you missing your timing because your opponent was playing too fast.

>>97914689
Depends, I think some amount can be fine but most combat tricks and counter "no u" spells are just faux interaction for brainlets that don't actually want to play around things

I'd only play games with it. I prefer being able to outwit or surprise my opponent.
All these other games are just about setting up a board state

But design philosophy always goes back to wanting tcgs to be played quickly and easily

>>97914689
Depends on so many other variables as to only be a pointless argument starter, etc

There's no skill in being lucky enough to draw your out. You are not outwitting anybody. It's not a surprise when you play your out. Even a Yugioh player would laugh in your face.

>>97920891
>>97919018
good-feeling reacts is all about having to project what the opponent is doing ahead of time and commit something to setting up the interrupt. you get that "lucky to draw your out" feel when the player interrupting didn't have to consciously choose to set the trap. having to commit is also what makes it possible to bluff the trap. if there's no mindgames it's not fun.

They like shiny cards, so they keep making elemental shit because the art for that is shinier than the art for non-elemental stuff. They are simple people.

>>97922531
>alpha clash PVE
that's the most unique thing it has going. post-duelma magic clones are dime a dozen. just being a good version of mtg is not enough to make a game worth looking at in the 2020s. but the field for games with both pvp and pve is small so there's less competition.

>Ashes. Another one that Team C sucks off
they could afford to suck it off more. strong contender for best game in their lineup. old now though, so it doesnt get hyped.

>>97929475
There's a new one now? I remember picking up a few packs when the first one came out. Seemed like it had potential, but I didn't have any brony friends at the time. I'd be interested to see how it plays.

Looks like the next EBG project isn't another card game but is instead a board game. Reading between the lines makes me think they will focus down on Aidalon and Rangers as their two card games while they explore some other genres. They're building the business laterally rather than focusing only on one thing. I wish them all the best in their future endeavors.

every single new tcg with an ip attached to it or some clout ends up selling like hotcakes for the first set/kickstarter promos. doesn't mean anything...

>>97932360
Yugioh has the best sims for some reason. Master Duel is offical, Edopro can run on toasters, Omega has ranked ladder and you can join tournaments within the app itself, MDPro is a Ygopro fork based on Master Duel, DuelingBook is manual.

>>97932360
there's this weird valley with digital clients. the big ones turn it into a whole separate business (ygo, mtga). the small indy games are are community driven. it's the games in the middle that often don't because they shut down community made stuff but also fail to replace it with anything good of their own.

I think about 80% of the games in the OP have a decent client last time we surveyed.

>>97932360
Most games with a competetive scene worth half a shit have at least a fan-made simulator. Literally just pick a game and keep searching. The OP pastebins have, among a million other things, links for that too.
If you're into coomer games, you'll probably have less luck though.

What's your collection even look like? If it's all old era stuff no one really cares about that anymore. Heroes retire and invalidate entire sets of cards, typically. The money for flash and full art shit is probably peak value.

To me the hassle is in finding buyers. You chop that shit up piecemeal and it takes for fucking ever and you need to baby sit the business, plus guard against fraud. I just want to find someone who will take my 2020 collection up through 2025, but the only one stupid enough for that is super hard to find.
