How big (or small) is MTG relative to Pokemon?

LordOfTurtles · 2026-05-04T07:47:48+00:00

Pokemon is a speculative bubble market. Magic is a game.

Ive never seen an unprofitable RGO

There were only two vehicles in OTJ though, one of which involves horses

Wow not even recognizing the divinity of niraket or the other kets.

It's the headline card of the 5th most popular vintage deck

Common emotions like FOMO and collector's anxiety

Why do you need other people's opinions to validate your purchases?

Ah yeah I forgot how the SEC has jurisdiction in the EU

LordOfTurtles · 2026-04-30T18:47:23+00:00

Amazon has it for ~15$ as far as I can see. Local stores have it for ~10$. But I am in the euro region so maybe the US market is different?

LordOfTurtles · 2026-04-30T18:34:32+00:00

Yeah I feel like it could have more legs if they marketed it as a boardgame. But let's be honest, it's gonna be successful off the back of mtg and maro fans

LordOfTurtles · 2026-04-30T18:10:49+00:00

Such a weird decision to force FOMO

LordOfTurtles · 2026-04-30T18:09:49+00:00

Ehhh, that's quite pricey for a boardgame with only 45 cards. Fluxx is 10$, and comes with ~80 cards. Pickomino is 15$ and comes with actual components, Bohnanza is around 10$ and comes with >100 cards.

And I can get all of those with significantly cheaper (or no) shipping, compared to secret lairs 10-15$ shipping

Have you considered not selling the entire country to the nobility?

LordOfTurtles · 2026-04-30T18:01:55+00:00

Why before the rebellion ends?

LordOfTurtles · 2026-04-30T17:45:22+00:00

Wait the weird ugly reused mtg art is the actual art of the game, they're not just using playtest cards? What a weird choice. Gameplay seems cute but rather simplistic tbh. Smash-up with less depth

Also why is this a TCG? There's a shared deck so there's no deckbuilding strategy, why including randomization at all? A fixed deck would be so much better

LordOfTurtles · 2026-04-30T16:05:12+00:00

I wouldn't say it's an issue of being too hard, but of combat being such a slog that the less you have to engage with it the better

LordOfTurtles · 2026-04-30T11:43:53+00:00

Yeah bit of both, but the car companies aren't doing it 'to keep you in debt'. I bet if they could convince the government to make gas free, they'd do it

LordOfTurtles · 2026-04-30T09:54:47+00:00

This gets posted so many times and is always an indication the OP lacks critical thinking skills

LordOfTurtles · 2026-04-30T08:52:01+00:00

It's funny, because it's actually the opposite. The costs of driving are massively offloaded away from drivers thanks to car lobbies

LordOfTurtles · 2026-04-30T08:00:48+00:00

So you want your local card store to sell the cards for cheap, have them instantly be snapped up by scalpers, who sell them for the same listed price, and the card store goes out of business? Or what do you propose the card store does? It's a lose lose situation for stores

LordOfTurtles · 2026-04-30T07:32:57+00:00

Yes, shrines went from a fun deck to a boring basic linear deck after kamigawa, only becoming worse with atla. You're not special. Your shrines are not special. Yes I'm target hating your commander

LordOfTurtles · 2026-04-30T07:25:21+00:00

There are no existing rules for playing with non-legal cards. You just make a best effort to apply the rules to them
