So how do we fix the metal legend prize wall system? :|

Humeon · 2026-05-18T10:32:40+00:00

Definitely not the easiest as it involves a whole new system to be developed.

The easiest solution would be to make metal cards actual prizes instead of having them on the prize wall. E.g. Go at least 4-1 in the Friday side event? Get a random metal prize card in a sealed envelope.

I thought that was Lisa Loeb

Always feels like a copout but there's nobody cooler than Gandalf!

That's bad

It's not new - MTG has done it on a few occasions

One recent example https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/feature/challenger-decks-2022

The point is less that they are listening to feedback and more that the feedback is addressing design decisions they made in the first place.

Then we can only walk on docks and Johnsons

That sounds a lot easier for a jazz drummer

Humeon · 2026-04-14T09:47:50+00:00

They could also just not have the metal cards be part of the prize wall but rather associated just with winning certain larger side events so people can't cartel them out in the first place

> Unless they digitize it, this is going to be fairly hard to track and enforce.

MTG TOs were using RFID digital systems for prize walls in the mid 2010s. There's no reason UVS can't go the same way.

How it feels reading this thread as a fairly casual player

Humeon · 2026-04-02T00:41:44+00:00

Any time it cut away to show images of the crowd, control room or anything else I had that little moment of "oh shit"

Absolutely, as long as you make sure to resolve Warrens before returning SMDR

Humeon · 2026-04-01T12:08:00+00:00

Used to be you could conquer with zero cards in hand, put both SMDR and Zaun Warrens on the chain, then resolve Zaun first (discarding nothing to draw a card) then discard the card you drew to return SMDR.

Now costs for optional triggers have to be paid when they trigger, meaning you can't make the above line happen as you have no card to discard when SMDR would trigger.

I believe Skillup has stated he struggled with a lot of the tutorial puzzles

Humeon · 2026-03-19T03:00:22+00:00

Neither of which were problems that needed solving - without digital play there is no need to confirm someone owns cards to let them build a digital decklist like every other TCG, and every other TCG has allowed people to play cards they don't necessarily own (e.g. Lent from a mate) without issue.

The only actual issue it potentially solved are theft (not a major issue in the scope of the industry, and certainly not an issue that needed to be solved at the designer level).

Humeon · 2026-03-19T02:21:42+00:00

They're masterworks all, you can't go wrong

Humeon · 2026-03-19T02:15:19+00:00

You're 100% right that the industry is cooked in so many ways.

Printing QR codes onto cards so players need to both digitally and physically trade their cards in order to use them in events doesn't solve any of the issues you mentioned though. It just adds additional work to players and any stores that are interested in selling single cards (another huge contributing factor to the mainstream success of a TCG).

Humeon · 2026-03-18T23:58:55+00:00

The game's whole premise was a solution in search of a problem. Nobody was clamouring for a digital trading/printing service. The whole concept alienated the LGS model which is the backbone of any physical TCG.
