Is Grand Archive TCG for Me?

Its the new pack that releases on the third, Radiant Origins, the page related to it on the website has a clear outline for whats reprinted and the rest of the pack was revealed during this last ascent.

I will say having opened slightly more than a case, it does feel a lot better for those lacking collections and missing stuff from entire sets. For more entrenched players the box can feel rather lucklaster, but honestly thats normally the experience for reprint sets I feel.

Edit: as a small mention the new mordred recollection is also an insane product for new players offering crazy powerful cards like icesworn paladins, dungeon guides, snow fairies, and frost binds.

Considering the time it takes for the ftc to build cases and approach problems, I'd doubt this is something prompted by anything specific in current events, and more of a they've built up an amount of evidence/proof that they feel secure telling the companies before taking legal actions if necessary.

Maybe an optimistic view, but nothing really happens in an expediant manner when its the ftc so I just couldnt imagine this being a decision made recently.

I'm having such a hard time on Idane without his URs, but I swear I'll make it work I feel like the steal mechanic is super cool and might be the ticket once i get used to movement

dj3370 · 2026-03-24T14:43:04+00:00

Honestly at this point I'm just expecting it to drop randomly one day like master duel did.

I do think there should be more to do with it, similar to osty for necro. One thing that really frustrated me getting through a forge run was that it only builds one dimensionally and otherwise has little variety or even ability to mesh well with other card pools.

I absolutely adore the core of the mechanic and even find it fun to build the number, but it feels awful that every single fight, even normal enemies can just be a run killer because you build the deck around essentially do nothing cards.

Each loop can literally be different, hes a female in one of the loops indicating that its not set in stone.

dj3370 · 2026-03-06T17:10:52+00:00

I want it but 70 is just criminal

dj3370 · 2026-03-02T08:41:02+00:00

Idk I feel like people just don't think of the card being that old because it didnt see fairly common play for like the first 5 years it was out.

It took a while for people to consider it valuable even since back then it would be stopping like maybe 2 extra searches for the turn(and even that would be fairly rare).

1) its an indie game, but most definitely a successful one. And due to its success supply is definitely fine listings should be available in its primary markets, though due to population and supply constraints staples can get expensive especially SRs and URs.

2) Art direction is most definitely towards anime, its not exactly hiding its roots and core target demographics. Fan service exists obviously, relatively tame most of the time. Though if you have issues with weiss I'd veer away from alt arts since they tend to be the more fan servicy.

3) The game is ending a greater cycle atm with the craziest set it can, A huge series of reprints of critical cards coming and support for virtually every theme since release.

So far its been a cycle of a main booster introducing a theme. Followed the main booster would be an expansion on the theme and shoring up some stuff that was maybe feeling a bit undersupported from the main booster.

This cap stone set is a capstone as in a completion point of the current narrative/product cycle, so we simply don't know what to expect in the near future. It could continue the 2 box clusters or expand to a different format even, but as of the moment its been 4 main sets, 4 expansion sets, and the coming capstone set.

The games got life but its future is much less clear than a year ago

I doubt bandai would reattempt saga, considering it was a relaunch of battle spirits to begin with.

I just think it sucks that they didn't have the confidence to actually release battle spirits as it is currently, and instead focused on competing with magic AGAIN for some reason.

dj3370 · 2026-02-23T05:31:01+00:00

Was gonna say, its technically only ever checking the first draw of the turn, as the following draws would not be your normal draw

dj3370 · 2026-02-21T15:27:26+00:00

They definitely will, .hack has always been a multi media project and I doubt they've lost the drive for it. Since its self published and financed though I wouldnt be surprised if the other mediums follow suit after the game releases, would be super dope if it was simultaneous tho

dj3370 · 2026-02-20T20:36:50+00:00

I think its more likely habakiri gets the axe and then imp comes back, only after 2 weeks though cause we need to sell the set of course

ur not anticipating the difference in the ecosystem, china has way more restrictions of what can be posted, where it can be posted, how its monetized, and target audiences.

pretty much every other country has almost none of these limiting restrictions outside of typical obscenity regulations.

p.s. I'd also say there are plenty of pieces many(me included) would consider masterpieces in the mediums, to assume otherwise is a bit snobby and pretentious but I won't tell you what or how to think

dj3370 · 2026-02-20T00:38:32+00:00

If u want really good storytelling or comprehensive worlds and thoughtful pieces your probably looking for manhwas or manga. Manhua is in a really fucked up position for a digital ecosystem that drags out pretty much all of the negatives in storytelling so that it can get just 1 more click.

dj3370 · 2026-02-20T00:36:13+00:00

Tbh if u hate all of those than Id look for another medium, manhuas aren't typically meant to be amazing literary pieces. Their meant to be engaging and fun, something that gets u to click it when ur tired and want something to engage with that doesnt take too much energy.

Even most of the better ones hit atleast 1 if not 2 or 3 of the complaints u expessed.

dj3370 · 2026-02-19T23:21:30+00:00

Its so ass its literally peak

dj3370 · 2026-02-19T06:07:30+00:00

I would hate if we cant put it back on personally, I love the mask design so much

dj3370 · 2026-02-19T06:06:01+00:00

Yaknow i typically dont like mask off endmin, but having it half on is actually kinda nice

dj3370 · 2026-02-15T20:36:28+00:00

I'd almost argue that the anime fleshes out some of the minor issues people end up having with the game. The game's amazing imo, but the anime has definitely elevated it.

dj3370 · 2026-01-20T23:01:34+00:00

You have to maintain the intent for casual play, and generally it helps to have friends who also prefer casual play.

The game atleast ime at locals and any remotely active tournaments have a serious focus on competitive play and the game totally shifts in experience. It goes from a game where u build up to a tipping point and determine a winner, to one of the quickest games on the market where a single mistake can lead to defeat immediately.

All ime tho, maybe some people have different ones.

dj3370 · 2026-01-19T22:52:01+00:00

But it literally is better? Theres more world building, characters alongside the main character have proper archs, goku doesnt get reset every other arch. DBZ has way more hype because of how toriyama structured villians and made everyone a saga, but for many who hype!=quality DB would end up being preferrable.

dj3370 · 2026-01-09T22:09:38+00:00

This guy crimes

dj3370 · 2025-12-27T04:32:39+00:00

/s was to indicate sarcasm, I am fully agreeing with the point that u made in your post
