#TCGs

[prokopetz]

Did you see that Magic: the Gathering now has a game state in which you need to prove that there are an infinite number of twin primes to win? I can explain it more if you are interested.

(With reference to this post here.)

By all means, please tell us about the Magic: the Gathering combo which requires proving the twin prime conjecture in order to win.

They really made one of the most straightforward easy to play engaging tcgs with wild and amazing art and let it just die... twice... fuck wizards of the coast normal style but also fuck them extra style give me the duel masters license ill make it work you cowards

Just bought a £20 MtG card for my partner for Christmas purely because they love the art…that’s love 🥰

In breaking news, I shall continue to play into the Corporate Mouse's game by indulging in Disney's new Trading Card Game coming out later this year.

They're just so pretty.

I'm bringing Jank to Locals tonight. It deserves an appropriate deckbox, don't you think?

I've been thinking of making my own tcg, probably just a video game rouglike but I'd want it to be playable over the table too. If anyone has any designs from tcgs they like lmk, I want to learn much more than I currently know about tcgs before properly starting.

God it sucks living in the middle of nowhere. I tried to go play One Piece today and there wasn’t anyone there, and hasn’t been since that pre-release according to the guy behind the counter. I just wanna play cards. I don’t wanna drive 90 minutes to do so 😔

I love the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG because it sounds something that a person who doesn't know much about TCGs would make up in order to parody the medium. Like, what if there was a TCG that hated keywording and just stuck a full paragraph of rules on the card whenever a slightly complicated effect comes up, except it has no editorial consistency, so seemingly standardised effects may in fact have multiple variants with subtly different wording which causes each variant to resolve completely differently in specific edge cases? And also, judges' rulings at major tournaments are considered to be precedent-setting for future tournaments even if their conclusions are not subsequently incorporated into the rules, like some sort of TCG Supreme Court, but the lack of keywording and inconsistent phrasing mean that whether a given ruling on card A applies to card B is based on a subjective assessment of "substantial similarity" which is, itself, subject to precedent-setting rulings, such that knowing with certainty what a card actually does may require a complete knowledge of its history of use in tournament play? That'd be fucked up, right? Just kidding, it's not hypothetical at all – it's fucking Yu-Gi-Oh.

Hold up. Let her cook.

For one glorious night, The Chris Gethard Show was back on the air. We got old friends, old Keepers of the Battledome, new familial relations, a Beef off, and a chat room that felt like going home again.

Dunno if we'll ever see more, or if it's going on an infinite googy vacation, but I was so damn glad to have it back one more time.

To the TCGS crew, and to the Chat Ratz, Lose Well, and keing being the fuckin awesome people you are!

Totally not running my sleep schedule by staying up on this section longer than I need to instead of letting the void claim me BUT-

MTG fans, do they keywords make things more or less annoying to understand when you play?

(I have my own opinion, but I'm at a bit of a crossroads in design atm, so if anybody has some opinions to share I'd love to hear so I can decide what to do
