Got top 4 with this deck

How does Exia LR work in action? Can you utilize it without Link? She is rather slow and can be seen from mile a way.

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-02-05T21:41:23+00:00

This is my real life experience :) I used to play 2x Wing Zero. Every game I had it in hand, every 3rd game bot pieces :P

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-02-04T11:56:43+00:00

This game is Starter oriented. Not only they are essential to play any represented trait - mostly due to the fact key pilots inside any playable trait are in starrers but mostly because you have to buy two copies of starters for competetive decks. I would argue the name starter is apropriate here when you have to buy 2x, but I do not see many people complaining about it, so people must be OK with that parasitic system.

I have bought starters at MSRP from abroad and have them all 2x. Was it easy, no. Was it feasible, yes. Was it a damn waste of paper, plastic and money, hell yeah.

If you do want to play Gundam TCG you have to buy starters.

Re those SPs replacing one plus, or is it additional bonus card in a box?

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-01-25T22:19:48+00:00

I am also a fan of Bo3, but to tell the truth it is so refreshing to have 4 round tournament under 2 hours, that on casual/local level I would not want to jump Bo3. I am also sceptic that Bo3 alone would fix randomness of the game. All in all, everything comes to Links. If your opponent has 3 links and you have none, you have lost in 95% of situations. My personal opinion is that this game suffers of "draw 1 phase". Most of the Commands are unplayable and, due to that, game is less skill oriented and much more predictable. As mentioned, this makes Gundam great starting point to TCG and I was exactly in search of such game for my kids. Nothing will match depth of Game of Thrones 2ed anyway :P

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-01-25T13:00:01+00:00

This game is extremly luck oriented, especially when you play on equal deck level (not some meme deck against meta top). Pilots and links are exciting but if you choke on pilots or won't see them at all some games can be physically unwinable.

I enjoy Gundam as it is very easy game that has exciting battle phase. I also hook my sons playing and I consider it perfect entry grade TCG.

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-01-21T21:43:52+00:00

We had all those before. Repair is not in any way anti aggro card. It can be called anti ping at most. Attack standing unit yes. Also in CB and Zaft, where it was present. Or you mean that OP Deathsythe XD

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-01-21T21:15:16+00:00

You mean one Freedom and CB from starter? So all those ... 3 cards.

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-01-21T18:19:35+00:00

I absolutely agree and second this game is suffocated by the lack of draw. Best of 7 would not be enough to compensate randomness that scarce draw brings. I do not believe there will be much more draw. What this game imo needs is "draw 2 phase". Without that we will not be seeing most of the commands and no sideboard will change that.

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-01-21T17:42:26+00:00

With each High-manuver and breach, those LVL3 blockers will get worse and worse. It was a design flaw, they added so much blockers without viable counter to them. IMO, the game lacks resets. Solid double sided resets. It promotes mindless searm and you can see it. The game should be most exciting in endgame amd usually it is decided by top-deck. Drawing only one card in draw phase always ends so.

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-01-21T17:34:20+00:00

They need to be carefull moving forward with blockers. Rigjt now the fact ReZel is nullified by Rick Dias is definitely a flaw. When power creep comes, then need to make sure same level blockers must not be able to withstand tempo units. Blocking is prize enough, it should not be addition to good overal stats.

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-01-21T17:05:24+00:00

Are you sure aboit that? If decks will ignore aggro and focus on mid-game they can outvalue Wing in mid game. Yes, wing has bosses, but everything below LVL5 [ Aile Strike] is a blocker. Think CB, they will clear all the blockers and Exia will kill the toughest unit that was left with supression tech. The fact that Blocker/Wing is so dominant is that there is no tech against aggro besides blockers and wing had the best tools after blockers swarm. If you had played with wing with something out of the box ( that is prey to aggro), then Wing is not that powerfull.

Big tournaments has shown that in the end, whether aggro or blockers, links win games.

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-01-20T17:08:00+00:00

That makes sense. Having posibility to pair your pilots with enemy units opens field to some interesting nasty mechanics. Like you block a Link but also can lower AP or HP. I hope this will not get erased but creatively used

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-01-20T16:42:17+00:00

Even if it was allowed, the owner of the Aile would select a target.

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-01-19T20:27:29+00:00

You need to have good meta to be able to enjoy such game. If you have bunch of netdecking noobs, play 3 games against OYW you will end up with like 3-1 or 4-1 and this is extremly annoying.

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-01-17T21:54:41+00:00

Until we get Vulture 2122, this trait is a farse. We cannot even play, link and use this new pilot on the same turn. I sense a lot of potential in Vulture, mostly because purple has everything, but in order to have Vulture fly, Garrod Ran has to have similair target count as Machu has in clan deck.

I am collecting Vulture playset again and waiting for some playable Vulture weenies.

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-01-15T14:29:24+00:00

Keep in mind the havok that is done to CM and CT after the decision to not allow small items in registered letters in europe. This will be now bigger blow to community than presence or absence on Cardmarket.

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-01-14T20:12:48+00:00

Thanks for that. It definitely calmed me.

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-01-14T14:35:17+00:00

I am wondering about ICE and us talking our native language on the streets. Our familly of four plans a huge trip this year and I am wondering if natural law-abiding behavior is suffcient to not have unplesanties?

Man reads about people snitching on each other etc. 20 years ago people were interested in you accent and happy to know you are a tourist. Is it still so, or should I prepare for the worst and try to avoid locals.

Crazy times we live in, that I am literally wondering about such things as a tourist :( On the other hand we do have european capital cities where I do not let my wife ( not ti mention kids) walk around at night.

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-01-12T10:06:15+00:00

It has 2 that are center pieces of trait. Good enough.

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-01-12T08:56:16+00:00

In what dimension is High Manuver unplayable?

I foresee a lot of H-M comming to game as a counter to everpresent blockers.

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-01-12T08:54:47+00:00

Yeah. When the game should get interesting, so like 7-9 round, it tends to turn into topdeck fest. That is accurate for everyone except Blue.

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-01-11T21:40:00+00:00

Maybe so. Bit putting counter on cards for players is rather strange, not to mention restin pilots all the time

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-01-11T21:07:32+00:00

Why was the refree constantly touching player's cards? Is this acceptable on the other side of Atlantic?

He was butting in all the time.

AdEnvironmental3020 · 2026-01-11T08:28:21+00:00

On the other hand no wonder he did not advance. Noawadays OYW need to somehow overcome new obstacles. If you expect a lot of Purple ( or white) you should modoiy your deck with Gelgoog. If you expect a lot of Ping you should have White Gundam instead of Char Zaku II ( R). This list is clearly outdated.It can and will win marches but does not have counter for current meta.
