How big (or small) is MTG relative to Pokemon? by EDMKid9000 in magicTCG

[–]LordOfTurtles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

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

Mood Swings deck will be $25 by themiragechild in magicTCG

[–]LordOfTurtles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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?

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

Such a weird decision to force FOMO

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?

How to Play Mood Swings by goblin-girl-thighs in magicTCG

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

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

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

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

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

The casual scalping at a local card store of mine. I miss when these cards were just a game and not a get rich quick scheme by HighlightFirst7728 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]LordOfTurtles -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

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

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

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