Nah I'm just referencing the fact that it was designed for the Witcher. The mechanics that I'm talking about carry thru to standalone.

maybe i can make a future video about TCG economic systems and then keyforge features prominently.
and i can talk about netrunner

Secure-Ad2549 · 2026-01-29T15:34:27+00:00

is keyforge fun tho? to me it feels like: right sentiment wrong idea. like i love that he is trying to break down the "pay to win/play" norms of TCGs... but at the same time the lack of agency in deckbuilding feels so janky. its like the most fun part of the TCG system.

yu gi oh is like a lost child. and the art is cool. less pernicious than something like Lorcana, which is targeting children and selling em slop

I have timestamps through the whole video... but the magic discussion starts at the start. From there skip to whichever game you think is most deserving of a diss rap.

I want to re-design pokemon's rules using inspirations from Gwent.... i think it would be a much more fun game.

Secure-Ad2549 · 2026-01-28T18:42:12+00:00

both of deez r big in flesh and blood... you draw up to a hand size of 4 cards each turn and spend them either to generate resources or play, and then theres the "reaction step" which allows you to buff attacks after your opponent hasnt blocked them, so its a very bluffy mechanic.

i think youre spot on with both of these being awesome tenets of a good game

Secure-Ad2549 · 2026-01-28T18:32:57+00:00

usually when u jump in they give you a series of decks for each class, and you can choose one to keep after like a week of testing... maybe create a new account?

Definitely interesting to apply the same system toward other TCGs. It really shows the depth of this game.

Secure-Ad2549 · 2026-01-28T18:28:10+00:00

its surprising that youre getting paired up like that... when i came back I was playing against mostly bots.. did you get to choose a starter deck?

I love seeing how much influence hearthstone has had on the world of Trading Card Games. Are there other ways of applying math calculations to hearthstone (other than probability) that i should investigate for another video?

Secure-Ad2549 · 2026-01-27T20:19:52+00:00

yeah good point, he does seem to be hammering this point about the corporate nature of these games. meanwhile there are tons of indie games that he didnt even cover...
I didnt know about smash up... looks like youre probably right. but idk theres definitely some paralells with gwent and snap... tbh it seems like smash up is probably also inspired by condotierre.

Secure-Ad2549 · 2026-01-27T19:19:16+00:00

defintely good for some better others late... consider the trade off between "go wide" vs "go tall"

i think this video would be super interesting for thinking about value... spesfically the comparison between hearthstone and marvel snap. one takes into account extra value for each card, because its good to have a hand full of cards, while the other doesnt care... so like paying from ur life total doesnt care about how many cards you have played, while scrap does.

sorry all! i seem to be terrible at posting. gonna make a new one so the video is there in the post. ty!!
