#fill one binder with a complete set and then perhaps recycle the spares

[poundfooolish]

I've fallen down the stupidest fucking rabbit hole involving Metazoo and I've been possessed by the world's stupidest demon to accumulate a complete set of these useless valueless frankly shitty unplayable cards and just. Preserve them. For posterity.

Like I'd stopped picking them up because the Native set made me. Really uncomfortable and I was only buying them as a consolation prize when Target was out of Pokemon and Digimon and YuGiOh cards but now that the entire corporation is dead I just want to dissect this corpse and absolute stupid cash grab sham of a company

Like I'm convinced this game is the way it is and the cards are what they are because all these cryptids and folklore creatures and various references to 'spooky' things you'd find on any 3spoopy5me wikipedia crawl are the way they are because they already exist in the cultural miasma despite not being copyright in any way. You can cut a lot of red tape and save a lot of money when you don't have to come up with a design wholecloth yourself you can just go 'this is mothman it looks like mothman', and the cancelled SCP cardset only FURTHER CONVINCES me of this. Like. The creators were obviously panning around for open source easy ideas they didn't have to actually think about or pay for and printing money off of gullible card investors. For two and a half years!!!

And a fun thing about me is I cannot resist a scam. I cannot resist a rabbit hole. This guy rugpulled a whole community and now you have a bunch of bagholders awkwardly standing around like 'yeah I really believed in the card, I just liked the card you know, the game was fun.'

Meanwhile the optimal way to play the hello kitty crossover set (which. How did you swing THAT???) involves wearing a giraffe onesie, a crown, a red bow, moth antennae, feathers, a mask, a bunny hood, a birds nest directly on your head, dragon wings, a bell, a kuromi headpiece AND a propeller hat all at once, ideally with a volcano in plain sight. You also have to say aloud with your human mouth "It's okay I forgive you" in order to summon kuromi to the field.

bonkers fucking game I wish it got popular competitively I want to see what depths TCG players would stoop to in order to gain an edge.
