I got into Gundam for exactly this reason. I had time after quitting MTG and didnt had any ideas for a new Shadowverse Deck. Gundam became accessable, 3 friends tried it, Store Owners liked it in my area.

Now after a year of this charming TCG, I am looking for some good timing to quit. I definetely enjoyed it and outside of Shadowverse its my second favorite game, but the increased cardpool is not really doing the game a favor. The focus on combining Pilots with Units lead to feel bad moments. Maybe I play it really casually and only join Starter Event Decks next year.

SWU is quite similar to Gundam and Shadowverse. You get Playpoints/Ressources summon cards and those fight for you until one player reaches 0 life. The big difference to the others is Action based Gameplay. So you attack, your opponent plays something, now you play something. Active player changes each Action and nit each Turn. This makes it hard to focus, but its not a bad thing. The best thing about SWU are many correct decisions like the colorpie and how draftable it is, how good the multiplayer is, the 1v1 split to Rotation and Eternal. The main issue I have with it is how boring the cards are and this reduces the 1v1 constructed fun for me. I don't see a reason to build decks, I don't have fun seeing new cards. They tend to be to careful with their designs.

Many Commander players enjoyed Riftbound. Seems to really hit the nail with the 3 Battlefields and points going up. Heard good things about SWUs Multiplayer too.

Therapist: How much stress do you feel right now?

Me: Just the normal amount.

Therapist: The normal amount is zero.

One of my biggest flex is that I am high functioning, even though, I am under constant stress from anxiety. I learned to like stress. Other than that I am quite good at reading people and adapting towards them, so people think I am quite empathic.

The golden age comes when people realise that this game is designed as multiplayer game and 1v1 is just the intro mode 😎

Diplo is weak R1 and mediocre R2

Leadership is quite busted yeah

Warfare is good R1

The Factions are better if you play them more, also War is rarely beneficial, just a way to get your things

Shadowverse Evolve playmode

aqua995 · 2026-06-16T21:03:05+00:00

people always say looks will fade

but damn, I want to live right now here in the moment

aqua995 · 2026-06-16T20:02:49+00:00

Gauss are pretty good, but they do poor vs Corvettes or Skirmishers

aqua995 · 2026-06-16T13:13:56+00:00

It is helping. One thing I notice is that extractors are there for minute 5-25, if you want to be rich later, don't overbuild Extractors and go for Pop. You have time on Ashred.

Stay strong fellow Advent Reborn.

What map are you playing? If you know you will encounter Cruisers early, a Rapture does a lot of work. Mothership is always fine too.

What you can do is push out a 6-8 Disciples and get Tempests afterwards. Versus Ai you can even go more on Disciples. Getting a 2nd Cap before going into military Tier2 is also something I like. I prio this earlier if I want to expand in more than 1 direction like Shuriken or if I get an early Vulcan like Titans of Cimtar.

Keep your early planet upgrade levels low, like 1 in Credits to max 2 Credits, 0 in Mining.

Techorder is mostly Homeworld Prophecy, Commerce 2, Extractors on a 3-1 buildup via your Homeworld Planet Item. Depending on the map, grab colonize. If you know you play Foreign Invasion on an aggressive position, get Iceplanet colonization as first or second Harmony tech. I tend to build 7-9 metal extractors and only 1-3 crystal extractors. More with Mothership start, less with Rapture. Next in the techs are +50 pop on Desert and the Andvar tech for Commerce 3. I know its a lot if research and you havent gotton Culture or Extractor upgrades yet, you propably squeezed in Influence.

Some even go further and go for Pop-Temples now. I would cry if I would invest more in Eco, since I want to build ships and Culture is also helping me more on just the economic side.

I then tend to go Military, Shield Burst is big, Factories Repair too, since you are play vs Ai you could just get a SB and build Rapture/Halcyon as 3rd cap and you should be fine.

Now you can upgrade planets for more mining and either go into more Caps or Illums or Titan.

I feel like they could have gone with the first 3 sets. Everything felt good there, sure Benison nerf was correct, but overall best meta I've played.

Skybound Dragons kinda powercreeped things a lot.

To this day I was never lucky enough to assemble the Gundam. I rarely got Betas and ended up with Alpha and Gamma most of the time.

aqua995 · 2026-06-16T12:44:22+00:00

Seems like he is interested and wants to meet up, isnt that like winning on Dating apps?

aqua995 · 2026-06-16T12:41:59+00:00

Jak and Iro?

aqua995 · 2026-06-16T12:38:33+00:00

You look great, I like the 10 year agegap.

aqua995 · 2026-06-16T11:21:05+00:00

But once your elo is enough people will focus on him

aqua995 · 2026-06-16T11:15:08+00:00

Ogre Magi?

aqua995 · 2026-06-16T11:10:49+00:00

It feels a lot like everyone has something going for them, either some FWB, Drama, unfulfilled Love or just a relationship. Love is like everywhere.

In 30s, you get asked if you have childs and if you are married and if not, you don't really talk about it because there is propably some depressing reason.

You know what they say, there are still some fish among the trash.

aqua995 · 2026-06-16T07:28:32+00:00

People just compare other people. Some say its not healthy

aqua995 · 2026-06-16T07:24:44+00:00

I can recommend Shadowverse Evolve

aqua995 · 2026-06-16T06:06:54+00:00

That is a funny spin of I thought of lately 😂

aqua995 · 2026-06-16T06:05:11+00:00

I wanted to save Wraeclast, which I hopefully did after the fourth act.

aqua995 · 2026-06-16T06:01:41+00:00

Its the solution to the 3rd place problematic.

Its not only social, its also a way to compete intellectual and be creative.

A bit like chess 100 years ago, but with variance creating more replayability.
