4/6 are Fortnite nonsense. Thanks again to the WOTC lack of quality control for curing my cardboard addiction.

[–] harsh3466@lemmy.ml 17 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Totally. I haven't bought cards in a couple years now because of the pace of release combined with this nonsense.

[–] Breath_Of_The_Snake@hexbear.net 17 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Don’t forget the powercreep. The game is a shambling zombie at this point.

Not sure how the Magic stack works, does that ability go into effect before damage is dealt?

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

Yeah, the reason for that effect beside being able to fit the number is so that you can safely attack it, making it somewhat less broken than it appears.

[–] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

Yes. Combat is broken down into sub-stages:

  1. start combat
  2. declare attackers
  3. declare blockers
  4. damage

The ability triggers during the declare attackers step and must resolve before blockers are declared.

It really is. The power creep is crazy. There's no balance anymore.

[–] Breath_Of_The_Snake@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

corpo voice but it is balanced, if you buy the newest set in sufficient quantity you get the win cards everyone can do so equally.

For a small time I considered just buying the high quality fakes in order to keep playing, but eventually it became obvious just how bad the pace of new releases was gonna get. The funniest shit was people wringing their hands about using fake cards in competition.

Seems like it's suffered the same fate YGO did.

Hello fellow kids, I stopped at The Dark what did I miss? 😂

I recently got into the Gundam Card Game. Don't know how long I'll keep with it, but I'm enjoying it so far.
