[@DMArmada]

Which game do you think has the BEST chance of spiking the space in 2024?

[@travis_approved]

I’m genuinely not sure which will blast to the moon per se, but I am very curious to watch Altered TCG’s launch and see if the business model is successful. Could be a real shift in the space if it becomes big enough. I might give it a shot when it’s available to the public. I wonder what else will be in the app, tournament organizing and other features would be interesting to see! Cheers.

[@danielshalem1]

Altered 100%

[@misingnoappeared]

dont get how Altered needed to go to kickstarter but had the capital to invite and host a ton of youtubers to Paris to "hype" the game :/

[@Big_Dai]

Easy.. Rule number one of business: Never use your own money.

[@kiwitchi5053]

a vast majority of costs when it comes to making any product is marketing. they got the word out first, and gained the capital to actually make the thing afterwards. most likely had a majority of it funded from a private source tbh.

[@RensCollectibles]

Nostalgix has their third set up for preorders right now. That's a game definitely worth looking into. Also Mythik TCG announced a new set coming a little later this year too. Both are great games.

[@Categoryonegames]

Great video. Thanks for making this. I'll be curious to see if Lorcana can continue to grow or slowly lose interest. I'll also be interested in seeing if Star Wars Unlimited can make an impact or people have lost all hope with FF Games. Grand Archive looks cool. I've never seen the game before but it looks really cool.

[@fabiointini6468]

Grand Archive is doing really good. Arts and gameplay, as well as meta variety, have improved much.

[@vincentalpiepedrozo2337]

I'm having a lot of fun with Alpha Clash.

[@Malhaloc]

I really want to get into a card game again. The last one I seriously got into was Panini's DBZ game. It was the first card game I actually started collecting as well as playing. But it got dropped and I really don't want to invest hundreds if not thousands of dollars into a game just for it to get C&D'd like DBZ or just drowned out by the Big 3 (Magic, Pokemon, Yugioh). I want to get into a game, but I don't trust that any game other than the Big 3 will have any kind of lifespan to make it worth the investment.

[@WeednDBZ]

Same here with the DBZ TCG

[@billionairepotential2912]

check out Despaira, under the radar new game at the moment but it looks amazing, cool mechanics with cards moving on the battlefield in different terrain and the card designs and arts are great

[@Bronson-_-]

Great video, good list of pretty quality games along with good commentary of criticism.

[@DMArmada]

High praise from you sir, thank you!

[@bigbellyobie6204]

lorcana is my bet. the game is easy to learn and has tons of depth, competitive circuit is starting and the game just gets better.

[@alaalaourine9684]

Eh tbh the base design is quite limited. Its gonna be interesting to see how it keeps going. Interest at my locals has already died out

[@allthehobbiesbrady]

I would still keep an eye on Kryptik and Mythrel

[@ExodusCardGame]

Don't forget Upper Deck's reboot of the Neopets TCG coming out this year!

[@Galaft]

With the success of the kickstarter of Altered, we can say you were right to mention it ^^

[@gorganiangranola]

I am very curious what will be the remnants of the TCG boom 5-6 years from now.

[@DMArmada]

It'll be a fascinating case study. If previous history holds true, many of the TCGs in the space will cease to exist

[@HoldingPriorityMTG]

You should talk about TerraFyte. Its a spaceship game that uses pixel art, its enjoyable.

[@davidballest9658]

I like grand archive and gotten it since the start but javent had much time to play since locals are on a day i cant make it out.

[@angelaperez5248]

HELLO, good video! 😀🤘🏼

[@DMArmada]

Greetings!

[@Big_Dai]

Altered is too weird to stick, IMO. Do love the fact that at least someone is innovating, even if I think its doing it poorly. Will certainly be fun to keep an eye on! Personally, not playing anything. Got annoyed with Wizards of the Coast, and tired of Legends of Runeterra recently.

[@Jedi_flodux]

We need digital card games as well

[@Pokevesting]

Chronicles of Arcane TCG should’ve been on there

[@lilliefindout3032]

Hey, can you review a card game called eigendark it's a card game where you make the cards, I would greatly appreciate it if you could!

[@sinceroman5392]

Release date for disney lorcana?

[@IneptCardCollector]

Alpha Clash!

[@toyshogun]

Alpha Clash TCG is big in the Philippines with over a hundred players! ❤

[@DMArmada]

That's GREAT news!

[@masacuna]

I miss Dice Masters so much!!!!!

[@boskarvil1570]

Hope the best for Alpha Clash, it seems cool and its from the US.

[@Guyu]

Can you review TerraFyte?

[@silikdo6514]

Shadowverse has Bushiroad as publisher which was famous for Cardfight Vanguard or Buddy Cardfight. Totally lost it footing on the european and american tcg market and left with me a bad aftertaste to support Bushiroad any further

[@DMArmada]

Bushiroad is a make or break company for many due to that and other old games.

[@raulortega3104]

I am a YGO player mainly and also play FaB occasionally. I am also a big fan of the Shadowverse IP. I just wished there was an actual scene in my area. I've tried to teach the game to some of my friends to no avail. Hope the game keeps growing.

[@DMArmada]

If it does then I think it'll become a mainstay... Otherwise, it could be another Force of Will or Vanguard (popular in very small, specific regions).

[@jacobbiggs7956]

I'm very excited for Altered. Been following it for a little while.

[@DMArmada]

Kickstarter live tomorrow!

[@navius3812]

Really hyped for Altered here !!! Great video !

[@empoweredmgr]

More Lorcana!!

[@timothypaulus4234]

Elestrals although their kickstarter was the end of 2022 switched manufacturers post kickstarter eddition and is pumping out their first 3 expansion sets this year and a re print of its first set ! Im super hyped for it. Small company big dreams

[@thekeegster6278]

I'm a Digimon and Pokemon player, and I'm interested in seeing how Altered goes on. The sales pitch is really cool and the cards look great, but I'm always skeptical of how kickstarter games end up... I like the idea, but we'll see how it goes from here.

[@hamerhead141]

What about Sorcery?

[@Elite4GamingZ]

Not a tcg

[@hamerhead141]

I don't agree, it's a TCG with a board interaction !@@Elite4GamingZ

[@Elite4GamingZ]

@@hamerhead141 so not a tcg basically. Sounds like you are agreeing to me. 🤷

[@skurai]

This is top 5 not top 30

[@IneptCardCollector]

More of a board game with cards?

[@NJDeLong]

Would love to see more Shadowverse content

[@DMArmada]

I need to sit down and try it for myself!

[@lNLl]

Great review! 2024 would be... an expensive year for sure :)

[@WatchFlake]

Star Wars U will be awesome. I'm a little biased, but I'm well aware

[@DMArmada]

I'm ready to see it pop off!

[@menace4nrk]

​@@DMArmada I can't trust anything FFG. Destiny had a lot of promise but flopped hard. FFG makes games to keep licensing but hasn't proved it can supply anything long term.

[@jugglinjosh]

Alpha Clash!!!!

[@DMArmada]

Pretty good game, eh? 😉

[@wills242]

Battle Spirits Saga is life! It’s clear the creators have studied the history of games. It feels the freshest, newest and most dynamic.

[@philippinefanboy3561]

I'm a collector are any of these booster sets worth buying as a collectible

[@AUZZYNAPALM]

the standout you said that I have also noticed is the amount of people PLAYING Lorcana at stores locally, and the diverse player base it attracts due to the IP's it holds. I personally haven't played as there is no current draw for me (maybe when they start adding Simpsons and other Disney owned properties) but it's good to see a game actually being played.

[@skurai]

Grand Archive takes the cake

[@CodeBluMagik]

Really wish SW U licensed the art from the Decipher version. It was so flavorful. The frames and icons on these cards look lazy.

[@DMArmada]

I appreciate the stylized version of the art that we're getting, as it ages better and feels more cohesive to world compared to new and old still shots from the movies. It's definitely more of a personal preference thing!

[@jamesarmstrong7297]

Really enjoying Shadowverse, but it’s had a real hard time getting going in the U.K… Hoping for better things with the OP shakeup this year!

[@snackelwolf4462]

We LOVE Shadowverse Evolve, and we are very excited about SW Unlimited. So much good stuff. Excellent video, thanks for these reviews.

[@waiphyotun7633]

can anyone recommend real gem card game for adults like Duel of Champions?

[@ravdeepbagri1313]

Cookierun Braverse will be the top game of 2024

[@DMArmada]

I thought this was a joke at first. Then, I googled it. Now I'm not sure...

[@ravdeepbagri1313]

@@DMArmada It's supposed to come out in February, might just be something that sits on target shelves. I am both ironically and unironically excited for it.

[@QKlilx]

@@DMArmada I played a few games here in Korea. It's a shockingly decent game. It does a lot of things differently from other games and strongly encourages careful resource management and mathy plays. The one thing I'm worried about is I feel like they've explored most of the design space in set two. They seem to want to keep card effects pretty simple, so unless they crank up the complexity of cards or start feature creeping in set three I'm not sure what can come next. Regardless, I am a fan and I'll be keeping an eye on it even though I'm not actively playing.

[@Jan-me8hy]

I start with shadowverse .... Its so much fun

[@PiperRECs]

good timing with Meta zoo closing

[@DMArmada]

The space is exploding and sometimes imploding as well 😂

[@TBrygmann]

SWU is fantastic, and FFG seems super commited to its success...they have a fantastic OP plan already laid out

[@DMArmada]

I was impressed with their OP plan being so concrete before launch

[@CashySwanson]

I'm sorry, and I don't mean to be toxic, but Altered is a dumb idea. It's just Physical NFT's that all in all will have 0 proper and conceivable competitive scene, all while waltzing around with artificially bloated prices, as NFT's do. I will be surprised if it finds broad success, and I mean, it SOUNDS cool beyond my initial gripes and I wouldn't hate trying it, but man its just literally an attempt at physical NFT's

[@darkranex]

I've got Lorcana and Shadowverse cards sitting right in front of me. Looking forward to Star Wars and Altered. It's going to be an expensive year!

[@ghostknight1865]

Any chance for sci fi / cyberpunk / military TCGs? It seems all of these games are either fantasy or anime / fantasy. I wonder why that is.

[@johnilkka]

Star Wars unlimited!!

[@reginaldpatterson7621]

Primal and DBS fusion world!!

[@robb8689]

Elestrals?

[@Burdenofthewitness]

You mean…The game that is literally just Pokémon but worse in every way?

[@GoblinReserve]

Wish I had more disposable income. Really want to try Sorcery, GA, AC, SWU, and dabble back into Lorcana. Can barely keep up with FaB though😭

[@garettkiley]

Alpha Clash ❤

[@chronocoretcg]

You should come try Chrono Core! :D

[@angesart3158]

exploding? waiting for years here for a decent digital tcg

[@snerdbrgrSkips]

Grand Archive heck yeah!

[@gavkenny]

Altered is going to be huge!

[@AnimeHeroTCG]

7:50 Alpha Clash, LETS GO!! Love that this game was designed in the U.S instead of overseas.

[@MrWilksTeach]

I would love to see more content about SWU!

[@DMArmada]

That may be on the menu!

[@darklordkuro7953]

Lorcana is already in what i call the runner up tcg. Iupt there with one piece, digimon and dbs to name a few. If sustained properly by disney it could make it in the big league with magic, yugioh and pokemon, disney definitly as the money to do so.

[@shermhart7617]

DREAM Book where its at! New set about to drop and its looking amazing.

[@DMArmada]

I've never heard of it, what does it play like?

[@shermhart7617]

@@DMArmada tactical grind movement, like chess, elements of Yu-Gi-Oh.

[@travis_approved]

I feel like Star Wars is likely to get a MTG universes beyond set which will make the Star Wars TCG obsolete. That is just my opinion though. Marvel has Snap and Final Fantasy has its own TCG but Magic still is making sets from them. I could totally be wrong but I would be a little surprised lol!

[@DMArmada]

That would be a pretty big get for Hasbro, but idk if Disney would be as willing to put that collaboration together

[@benm6482]

Does anyone else think that Altered booster boxes are overpriced compared to other games booster boxes you could get?

[@Big_Dai]

Let's be honest.. it's all probably related to speculation.

[@HarvestLYlee]

You Missed "Legions Realms at War" Plays like a Refined, and evolved more fair Yugioh, Every card is semi full art, Winner of Gencon 2023 fellowship award, In Serveral Local games stores, and had a solid launch of its 3rd Box Set along with supporting sets. I have Shadowverse as my Anime tcg, FAB as my Western Combat game, Sorccery as my Grid card/board game, But only Legionss or LRAW really satisfies my cards and life points as resource no "Go Again actin points required" need thirst yugioh style that Legions does. and the collectabily of the rares and quality of the non- curling foils on Back core are just incredible.

[@DMArmada]

It's been around for several years now, meaning I didn't include it in a new games list

[@wanderingbard1]

Wierd no sorcery tcg on the list?

[@DMArmada]

I view it more as a board game, though it is a TCG in the strictest sense. One set a year means it's likely to have its core audience with stunted growth in the space. Honestly, I think that's the best thing for the game as well!

[@muCephei_]

Right now I'm interested in lorcana, but still looking at others. I want to choose a game that's fun and has deep strategy and mechanics.

[@Evereghalo]

Lorcana started in 2024...

[@DMArmada]

It released it's first set in 2023

[@solstra2]

I'm enjoying what i played of altered and lorcana. But I'm hoping that Grand Archive pulls it's weight this year.

[@dresdun]

how you gonna mention super but not fusion world xD

[@hazalm3354]

Everyone in my area who started Shadowverse,Lorcana and Grand Archive pretty much dropped it for vastly different reasons and problems with these games(or their companies) The only new game that is making a consistent local game scene is Battle Spirits Saga which has me hooked as well to be honest.I get to play 2-3 locals a week in different game stores. It's important for new games to be available and not have distribution errors and problems. Luckily Battle Spirits Saga has none of these problems and it is quite cheap to get into and with good money rewards on the competitive scene so I believe it deserves a mention in this list. Other than that I have not seen Star Wars or Alpha Class in any game store shelf.

[@delpeck2067]

Alpha Clash :)

[@youssefyassini8929]

Eredan itcg and duel of champions are my favorite trading card of all times

[@MJ-oi6ul]

Why support disney though?

[@juangalvan3860]

No one piece?

[@DMArmada]

It's several years old and already released set five so I'm not sure it qualifies as a new trading card game!

[@Heidru]

disney no thx

[@josewilly9054]

What about one piece card game?

[@DMArmada]

It's been around longer than a year and is pushing past set 5, so I didn't include it in a new games list

[@michaelperez6709]

Altered sounds whack!

[@user-ht1jg4qz3h]

the hell u forgot one piece??

[@DMArmada]

One Piece is over a year old. Therefore, it didn't make this list.

[@draketheduelist]

I'm hoping to see big things from Alpha Clash this year. Been studying the game extensively, topping local and online events alike, joined a podcast for the game (The Rogue Contenders, hosted by @ryotinccg) and I'll be bringing my best concoctions to Vegas this April.
