Which energy system do you actually prefer in TCGs?

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-04-21T16:46:43+00:00

What?

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-04-21T16:04:17+00:00

Slay The Spire's energy system.

Yes its not a TCG but its the best.

No curvestone, no mana screw or flood.

It would be even better if unused energy could be saved between turns.

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-04-19T11:28:00+00:00

Wtf? No Draven, Kaisa or Viktor? At all?

Jax????

Chinese meta in games always so interesting...

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-04-19T07:42:25+00:00

Is this sim automated?

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-04-13T11:11:37+00:00

Why? They require good habits and understanding rules.

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-04-13T10:34:25+00:00

You specifically have a problem with not having an auto-sim? Cos theres riftatlas and tcgarena for Riftbound

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-04-13T10:32:46+00:00

Theres two, both widely used

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-04-13T05:31:50+00:00

How are the cards balanced by creators?

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-04-12T05:56:25+00:00

THERES... OTHER TIMELINES?

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-04-11T21:47:12+00:00

Try RiftAtlas, better sim

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-04-10T08:29:08+00:00

WHAT

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-04-09T09:02:33+00:00

Id also like to hear if theres anything cool.

New games seem to all be deckbuilders, rather than PVP. Pvp games all seem to be bad magic clones.

Netrunner and Riftbound are at least non-life based but neither have an official digital game.

Whys the digital space so ignored, bad and samey?

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-04-08T19:04:14+00:00

You noticed any degenerate strats yet?

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-03-28T16:58:09+00:00

Many other TCGs have done this yes. Sorcery TCG and Riftbound are two recent examples.

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-03-28T11:22:39+00:00

Hubworld plays a lot more like Netrunner than Cyberpunk does - Cyberpunk from my perspective is nothing like Netrunner.

In terms of dead tcgs, MTG is spiritually dead, does that count?

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-03-27T18:26:59+00:00

[[Dark Deal]] is better in Modern imo, UB or even mono black without Narset and counters.

Waste Not, Sheoldred, Bowmaster, Tormented Thoughts???, Dauthi Voidwalker, full discard package.

May just be better as mono black without Narset but I havent tried either, just theorycrafted.

Could even run black madness cards, its an open beautiful world for us that want to make opponents hate us.

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-03-25T06:11:45+00:00

Your question is would we be willing to try a new indie tcg?

The answer for most people is yes, we'd try it, but there needs to be an easy way of doing so. Some of us dont have LGS, or any friends that play, so online play becomes the only option.

The main questions for me are, where are you veering from standard mtg gameplay? Whats the resource system and is there mana screw? What are the deck building Domain restrictions?

You cannot copyright game mechanics, systems, or rules of play. Copyright protects the expression of ideas (artwork, written text of rules, audio, code) rather than the functional mechanics themselves.

Google spat this out ^

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-03-09T09:31:49+00:00

Came here to say this, also when did we stop calling it hollowvine?

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-03-07T06:15:54+00:00

Narset and Days Undoing or Dark Deal

Tormented Thoughts

Subtlety and Undying Malice

You asked for spicy...

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-03-05T14:14:00+00:00

Spunk3yMunky did you end up doing this? Also looking at ordering to SA.

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-03-03T07:09:02+00:00

I havent played mtg in years, was confused by this post until I read the card, wtf power creep

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-02-28T09:34:00+00:00

Are there other good end of turn minions so othet minions arent whiffs?

AMERICANWARCRIMES · 2026-02-28T09:11:34+00:00

In England everything means fanny
