For context we are doing this because otherwise we have to either cut Zommoth's card or have Snakemouth Den's whole Thing be known to at the very least a small selection of people beyond Team Snakemouth
Finally, we get the opportunity to put our Spy Cards worldbuilding in a work. Though there are many questions about such things as "regulation" "how these cards are printed" "who approves a single spy card", and so on, we are here to present a bold new take: this game is based like 60% on obscure roach memory-reading tech that got turned into a card game with absolutely No card-game-related intentions included in the original tech and most of the card vetting is just from the fact that there aren't too many card printers out there and most of them make cards that need to be translated from Roach.
Strictly speaking, as a card game, it is not a terribly good or well-balanced one. It's popular primarily because of a mix of the difficulty involved in getting the data for high-level cards, the fun of seeing the variety of monsters that can be brought to the table, and the incredible amounts of ham and drama that goes into specifically the professional scene.
#also this way we get to have the “secret technique that no one knows about” trope#we speak#bug fables#leifs request spoilers#leif is currently running a Roach Construct Deck plus zombiants as part of his current storyline#with a full on fungus deck in reserve taking MASSIVE advantage of zommoths empower#as part of applying Headcanon he actually did pay someone to fight him and then print his card from that#he got it minted in roach on purpose bc hes technically a native roach speaker but he has a bugnish printing on standby#specifically because most official tournaments require you have a copy of the card in a language that has more than a few hundred speakers#fact that he speaks it fluently is irrelevant bc the actual like. Referee Of The Tournament has to be able to read it#this is so people dont roll up with untranslated cards and just start making shit up#carmina specifically gets away with having her cards in wildlands pidgin because its part of her persona#bu-gi uses untranslated roach cards as part of a gimmick but the bugnish is also for his reference bc he doesnt speak roach#but as most of the audience Also doesnt speak roach he can get away with his absurdly specific dialect of a far grasslands tongue#unfortunately some of his gimmick has recently been threatened by leif rolling up like “yeah we're an ancient roach magitech wizard”#and then speaking actual roach (in his obscure ass cordyceps dialect) on stage. but thankfully their gimmicks align well enough to team up#leifs slowly becoming a yugioh villain. theyre having a great time with it but they are very much a heel right now#theyre spiking their mane up into icicles and everything. anime fur ass motherfucker#headcanons
