TCGs

[Zane]

I only think it's fair to warn anyone and everyone against Odyssey by Vance Moore http://www.amazon.com/Odyssey-Cycle-Book-I/dp/0786919000. This was a horrible' date=' horrible book and it makes me want to cry every time I think of it. It's battle after endless battle and it takes these wonderful characters and ruins them. If you ever want to lose the will to live and die horribly then go ahead and pick it up. However, the other ones look awesome! I haven't read Wrath and Storm yet but it looks so good![/quote']

 

You've only read up to chapter 8, and you haven't even read it. I had to read it to you as a bed time story, and you pretended I didn't exist, or cursed at me the entire time.

 

EDIT: AND THEN YOU HID MY BOOK IN ONE OF THE BOXES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CLOSET AND I CAN'T READ IT TO YOU ANY MORE!

I used to be serious business into Pokemon cards. At one point, was probably one of the best players in the game.

 

I'm begging and scraping for a FF TCG in FFXIV. At one point several years ago I was actually developing a FF TCG just for fun, but if one came out I would definitely get into it. I love the depth of TCGs, but brought into an online format, they would rule, mainly because they have three distinct advantages over print TCGs:

 

1) Easy to update, and therefor to balance. Don't have to ban certain cards, make cards obsolete with expansions, etc. If you release a broken card in print, trying to balance for it can break the game even further. You can also design new archtypes more easily. All because games are easy to patch.

 

2) Cost. Print cards are pretty expensive as far as cardboard goes, and as any hardcore TCG player knows, highly desired cards can be expensive to obtain purely as a matter of the business model. The financial barrier for entry is not only an inconvenience to the player, but also reduces the access that potential opponents have to the game.

 

3) Player access. With a print game, you can only easily play against local opponents and have to arrange meetings-- you can't easily play when you want to. With the online format, you can play against players from all over the world, and much more easily find someone to play with.

 

So I not only think that an in-game TCG would be incredibly fun, I think online TCGs are the future of the genre.

Not sure balance means much in MTG these days... check out the recent Eldrazi cards lol

 

 

Annihilator 6 means when this creature attacks, defending player sacrifices 6 permanents

 

I own that card Me and about 4 friends play magic the gathering, and we go to play every weekend. I have several decks as ive been playing since the days of Portal, but the more recent decks i own (Worldwake, Rise of eldrazi etc..) are a

 

Mono White, Pure Soldier Deck

 

Mono White, Healing Deck

 

Green and Red Eldrazi deck, Mainly focused on getting big guys like this http://magiccards.info/scans/en/roe/12.jpg and this http://pzportal.net/main/wp-content/upl ... s-Torn.jpg . ITs a great deck if you get them out.

 

The Pure sliver all foil deck, all colors.

 

Archenemy Assemble the doomsday machine deck

 

So yeah i have a bunch of them. One of my friends has a Mono Black Vampire deck(before you ask no nothing like twilight) and another has a mono blue decking out deck, he just bought 4 of these combined with these.

Wow holy crap

I'm going to go ahead and post my three magic decks:

 

Blue/White Flyers: Crystal

 

Green/Red Flashback: Orin

 

Red/Black Pressure Cooker: Shaelvorax

 

Nothing flashy in any of those decks. Note that I don't buy singles online, so I build decks purely out of what I get in boosters which is why a lot of my decks are singleton-esque unless it contains Odyssey or Tempest cards, which I have a lot of. All of the decks are named after characters in my FD&D mythos, and are themed (loosely) on their personalities.
