The State of Card Games

[@joaoluz8354]

Doing a "The state of card games" and not include Legends of Runeterra seems really weird to me, it's one of the best IMO, and it's the most fun.

[@Mikewar1230]

Thank you!

[@gameguru42392]

LoR is THE best digital card game out. Shadowverse is a close 2nd for me.

[@tcgmetaslayer4202]

Doing a “state of card games” about fake digital mobile games is ironic. A card game, by definition, should be physical cards printed on paper, nothing else lol

[@JoHn-if6wy]

Honestly the only card game that was worth playing for me was gwent when it was in closed beta 5 years ago. What they did to their game is a disgrace. Hence why its dead. The rest of card games or the "state" is just all for babies now. They just dont make em like they used to.

[@SK-do5rv]

Lor is the best digital easily

[@Sebs-FFXIV]

Surprised you didn't mention Legends of Runeterra, the riot games card game, it had pretty big launch but it slowly faded into silence, the game is pretty fun, definetly my personal favourite card game out there, its just pretty hard to get into cuz there is a LOT of different keywords and gimmicks based on what champions you use and what kind of deck you go for, but i atleast personally really enjoy it very much. Also the card texts are the most confusing out of any card game i have played, instead of "when this unit dies, deal 2 damage to random enemy" its "when i die, i do 2 damage to a random enemy" makes reading some effects really dumb and even hard to understand cuz its worded poorly

[@ThePizzabrothersGaming]

It has to be super specific due to all the interactions. Especially due to mechanics that apply globally, or from hand, or from board

[@biggydolly7379]

the game is adding way too much keyword and combo possibilty to the game to the point where there is not a single season where there is a balanced deck, right now people are abusing teemo mushroom sh*t on ranked. The game is really hard to get in as a new player because of the unique attack style and spell system

[@victorhng]

Also, he didn't mention elder scrolls legends. Although I am a fan of the Elder scrolls games, I have never tried the card game.

[@ooooswain]

I used to love LoR but they lost me with the ridiculous amount of keywords they keep adding. Like when is it enough for these guys? You take a short break and have to come back and learn 10 new keywords. Honestly makes me wonder if they will just add them forever and in a couple years there will be 200 keywords F that. I wanted to play a game not memorize keywords.

Yu-Gi-Oh! is legit one of the most rewarding games to learn, I love it to death. What I don't love is the current format, quite possibly the worst format to get into as a new player of the game.

[@sleepinbelle9627]

yugioh has probably my favourite set of core mechanics in any card game but everything on top of it is exhausting to me. I like trap cards, I like the lack of a resource system, I like the basic summoning rules, but there is too much game there. I would play a lot of a game with the same framework as yugioh but massively-simplified special summoning, set rotation so you can actually comprehend the cards you have to choose from and a keyword system so the card text is legible.

[@BobberRoll]

Bro yugioh is the most insane game I’ve ever tried to learn. Half the games I have no idea what my opponent is doing and I die on turn three. If I want to learn a deck I’ve got to bust out the microscope to read the three pages of text on each card.

[@XenosKenosis]

​@@BobberRollthat's why Yu-Gi-Oh player doesn't read, they rely on muscle memory and interaction, after that then they read the cards, why it's doing this and that etc lol

[@KevinGonzalez-hs7so]

@@BobberRollyeahhh. I think a lot more casual card gamers would love yugioh more of it wasn’t so complicated. The game is fast, and just fun and different. However, the state of anything remotely competitive in yugioh is so complex that the learning curve is very high. However, once you get there it’s pretty addicting.

[@projectx5154]

Yu-Gi-Oh should be labeled as rpg considering how much fucking text and rules you have to read just to understand one card, let alone understand what the goal of your decks and combos are.

[@nogoodchad4473]

Even if you don't want to mention LoR for the multiplayer element, the single player side with path of champions is enough to carry the game for most people.

[@pidgeotroll]

Magic had an online version 20 years ago that’s still alive today, called Magic the Gathering Online, or MTGO. It’s a lot more similar to something like Tabletop Simulator but with a rules engine, meant to replicate what it’s actually like to play a game of physical cards. Now with 2 official online implementations, Magic players have the best of both worlds, getting to play the slick intuitive UI version or the true-to-life full game version.

[@thiagoboscowich3630]

Like Yu Gi Oh, a lot of players from MTG come from the past when the game was popular on physical cards, Magic is in better state then others imo bc the community is loyal to the game, so does the game is rewarding for those who can master

[@r3zaful]

​​@@thiagoboscowich3630yugioh first free fully automated online simulator was created fans in asia called ygopro, many People start playing yugioh from that simulator especially in Indonesia and china because free, because its automated you dont have to figure out the cards interaction because the software did it for you, most People i know start playing paper yugioh from simulator then after feeling confident with their skill level they start playing yugioh in paper. Unlike magic who only have cockatrice, yugioh is known to have better online client, fanmade and free.

[@TheKeinash]

Card games that come to mind but weren't mentioned - Clash Royale and Legends of Runeterra. LoR was worthy of mentioning because of how kind F2P model is there.

[@joyous18]

Huh, clash royale didnt even click as a card game, but now that i think of it, you DO play cards and you DO make decks...

[@morbidsoy]

Riot is too generous with LoR and thats why its dead now.

[@ratiuvictor9533]

Yugioh master Duel is so good. Yes it has a steep learning curve but after you learn the 30-40 hand traps, board breakers and extradeck monsters the game is so easy to understand. It's also the most free to play card game ever if you buy smart at the beginning. Invest in hand traps, board breakers and extradeck monsters. Those are cards that you will use 15-20 in every deck forever. Also don't buy structure deck and don't invest anithing in nostalgia decks like Dark Magician, Blue Eyes or Heros. Yugioh is more like League of legend. You don't get and learn every deck but instead you make 1-2 decks that you like the gameplay and you learn it til perfection.

[@basty_gaming5750]

The Salamangreat Pre-Con Deck is good if you are willing to learn

[@ratiuvictor9533]

@@basty_gaming5750 It's not. It's a overly complected deck that in the best case finish on 2 negates but to do that you need to survive every single hand trap in the game. Everything can be ashed, inperm, veilered in that deck and especially in master duel with Maxx C at 3 in every deck and with how predominant nibiru is it makes the deck absolutely unplayable. It's such a week deck that salad was not competitive in tcg for the past 5 years and whe don't even have maxxc. I would never suggest a new player to start with a combo deck in the first place but when they want to dip their toes in combos I would suggest something with a little more meat like a mathmech, a tri brigadezoo or even a @Ignistor deck and if they think they like combo they could start memorizing the 50 combo lines of a Rika deck. If not yugioh is not all about combo decks there are midrange decks and Trap decks.

@@basty_gaming5750 @basty_gaming5750 I never played a green maju but I know a lot of players who love it and honestly it's a way better deck for a beginner. It's dirt cheap, Gizmek, Necroface and Eater of milions are always fun to resolve and with a danger package a new player can learn a lot of interactions and decisions. The extra deck is also pretty generic and splashable in a lot of other decks.

[@Maronicam]

I love yugioh, but having been asked 200 in a duel times if I want to intercept something is annoying and the animations are waaay to slow. I played it just after release, got platinum in a few days and just stopped.

[@misterduelog]

Isn’t Marvel snap one of the more egregious games for predatory monetization? It feels really great until you get to pool 3

[@KrivitskyM]

I'm glad you at least mentioned Eternal. Shame the long tutorial got you, but just know that Eternal probably takes the most advantage out of the digital nature of the game. And it is not by upping the RNG, but by permanent changes to the cards during the game. You can't do that in a physical card game without convoluted mechanics such as MTG's counters, and even less so when the cards change zones (going from board to hand, to the deck, to the graveyard). Also it has the second best economy after Legends of Runeterra. It is not a struggle to stay f2p in Eternal. I wish you would give more love to this game, because by god the devs don't promote it as much as they should.

[@danx2793]

Everyone plays the same meta deck build they got off eternal warcry, sure it's F2P but good luck going up against the best decks $$ can buy in Throne, lots of fun if algorithm doesn't bottom deck all your units and Power flood or starve you. Nothing like building a OP deck and then waiting in Q for 2 minutes when the average wait time is 10 seconds... Yeah nothing shady going on there.

[@foyoGames]

You can play a homebrew & do great, I got up to #45 rank this month ...being the first time playing the game a bunch in a couple years. & I'm f2p

[@Dragon_Fyre]

I could do a thesis on what is wrong with Eternal and why it is everything wrong in online CCG. The Developers have basically abandoned the game though, so I’m going to save myself the time. All you need to know is no CCG has more hidden game rig mechanics. You don’t play Eternal, it plays you.

[@foyoGames]

@@Dragon_Fyre Please hit the Broad Strokes. How have the Devs basically abandoned the game, when there's a new set coming in a month or 2, there's over 10 mainline sets, & there are monthly micro-sets? Please also tell me the hidden game rig mechanics, cuz I honestly don't know.

[@Dragon_Fyre]

@@foyoGamesThe new release would be the 3rd set in a year (and sets are on a small scale) . Without a doubt it will include about 3 or 4 cards that will be so broken for game balance, they will immediately set the new meta. For a game where they can re-balance the game instantaneously, it will then take several months before any buffs or nerfs, which will consist of the 4 cards they consider the worst cards. There are times of day where you cannot even play the monthly event. It will repeatedly run 5 minutes without match and time out. In regards to game rigging: There is the flood/drought of power cards. This occurs on a statistically impossible scale, which is particularly frustrating in Gauntlet where one is only rewarded if you win 7 matches in a row. There is what I will call auto loss mode. This is where programming will kick in and begin impossibly altering the RNG. You can win for example 8 games in a row, and suddenly, if you lose about 2 games, you can likely predict that you are now in auto loss mode. In spite of your 80% win record, you can predict in advance of play with about 90% accuracy, that you will lose the next several matches. When in auto loss mode, your losses will come in runs of between 5 and 7 losses before the game reverts to fair play and your losses will be of the following: 1. Your deck will play at its absolute worst and your opponent may as well just be playing with their entire deck in their hand as they seemingly have the perfect card for every situation. Even when top decking, you can know what card your opponent will draw, as it is inevitably the best possible card for the current board state. 2. Power/drought losses. 3. Power/Faction mirror losses: This is where your power cards are polarized opposite to your factions. Example, If you are playing 2 factions, you will have about 1/3 power in either faction and 1/3 dual power cards. So of about 8 power cards in a 75 card deck, you will steadily get only those power cards and all non power cards will be of the opposite or dual affinity so unplayable. This one is always the most absurd because of its statistical impossibility in contrast to absurd frequency. 4. Lastly, is the power cap, where you will draw almost exclusively your most expensive cards (even if you have few). You can recover from that you say ? Nope. You will magically draw power cards up until 1 below what is required to cast these cards and behold, immediate drought for the remainder of the game. I am not referring to bad RNG for the above which one could be cynical about in hindsight. You are reliably able to predict this in advance. If you were to flip a coin enough times, you might eventually have a run of bad luck and lose 10 in a row. That is not rigged. However, if you declare you are going to flip a coin 10 times and lose every toss and proceed to do so, it is rigged.

[@MagneticDwarfReptile]

even if hearthstone has powercrept it's gameplay and sell expensive as shit packs 3 times a year and maybe inferior gameplay. that just goes to show how much presentation actually matters. hearthstone just feels and sounds so good when you play it, the gameboards are all very comfy

A company could release prebuilt decks at a lower cost, then buying all the cards. They could sell boosters that gives random choices out of a pool of cards you do not have. Otherwise, you can buy all the cards at the same price. This permits players to pay less to give it a try.

yu-gi-oh master duel is not that hard for beginners. The problem is that the solo mode teaches the core mechanics well but completely ignores handtraps and general staples, so you can't learn the game just from playing it. But if you read/watch a starter guide and select a half decent starting deck you will be fine. Yes, it is hard to be really good at it but the entry barrier is nowhere near as bad as people say.

Goofy? Absurd logic? But then you skipped out on fully explaining your logic why you immediately passed on Master Duel. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I was still hoping you would enlighten everyone to yours since you made this video. I'm a Yugioh player myself so I guess my bias is towards the game. I understand why people don't like it though or why some former players may have quit - because of the steep learning curve (arguably the steepest one out there) and a lot of bad decisions made by Konami. But it is still a solid game overall. I've tried learning several other card games and nothing comes close to the feeling of creating and executing powerful combos one after another while being interrupted every now and then by the opposing players. The euphoria of overcoming almost unbreakable boards or stopping your opponents from their full combo with just the right cards. These are all things that make the game great. Master Duel took the game to a digital platform with the right mindset. It's still kind of play to win (just like any if not most online sims) but still gives free-to-play players a good chance to build their deck completely without having to pay anything. What I don't like about this online simulator on an objective standpoint is the way duels are matched. I hated the feeling of having to play against the same archetypes or decks over and over again when you are on ranked games. Glad to know that they apparently have included some casual games in there now - something I did not know as I have not played the game for a good few months now. Spending more time on the actual TCG now. Anyway, your video was still quite informative. I got some good insights especially on the other games. Thanks! :)

Gwent’s the only card game I’ve ever liked. I like that it’s more chill and not about cards dealing damage to each other all the time (which always seemed silly considering it’s a card game). Its style of “raise your army and clash” feels more realistic. This was the original gwent’s idea. Both sides attempt to setup a stronger army, and in the mean time sabotage the opponent’s strategy. And at the end when both players pass their turns, the army with the highest rating wins. It’s elegant. And winning the battle doesn’t mean winning the war, thus sometimes you have to focus on making your opponent squander his more useful cards in the first rounds to later have the advantage

how is it pay to win lmao I've literally gotten every card for free. It's pay-to-cosmetics nothing more.

So like, just a list of digital card games with no overall "STATE OF CARD GAMES" at all, sure.

[@erikmccormick9331]

Man, your Gwent experience is strange. You must have a small sample size of experience to work with or something because control decks and Nilfgaard assimilate lists are ALWAYS popping off on that game.

[@scottking6481]

Master Duel is pretty good although YuGiOh is not beginner friendly

[@DionesGasparini1]

Marvel snap is literally the most pay to Win card game in the market, in cannot acquire meta cards If you don't pay monthly

[@roslolian11]

Marvel Snap from what I understand is a lot more expensive than HS.

[@needmoarcheese]

I'm not sure why many content creators just simply ignored Legends of Runeterra. Are they getting paid by sponsors? Anyway, from a CCG player perspective that have played Heartstone, Marvel Snap and a little of YuGiOh, LoR is 100% worth playing.

[@ElijahKlar]

Imo the best way to teach someone the basics of magic has always been jumpstart, got multiple friends hooked woth jumpstart whoa re now regular players

[@cydra_infinity1423]

4:50 I agree as someone who just got done summoning 20 boss monsters in my first turn I have to agree that Master Duel is doomed for newer players.

[@kayanono]

Where was runeterra at? Its one of the best for sure if not the best in terms of visual polish and card collecting since u can craft everything u need very easily.

[@oooo-ez8vz]

I wish Spectromancer was as "dead" as Hearthstone is

[@opblazeiken4524]

No shadowverse that wild

[@zarodgaming1844]

videos like these are really sad ... people are here excited, and yet the market doesn't deliver ... i'll see what i can do ...

[@MannaChaves]

I find it really funny that even in a video talking exclusevely about card games legends of runeterra is forgotten, and at the same time is probably the best card game right now, it is very easy to get cards, even the "weaker" decks have a solid chance to win games constantly, there is a huge pve mode. I also find very funny to see people complaining about new keywords there when games like magic have hundreds of them, if not a thousand already.

[@sporkmclork]

lol. Nice timing. Another "best card game" eats dirt. Say hi to Artifact. Maybe the both of them can argue which one was actually the best.

[@RichigoSensei]

As a Yugioh card game player, he is right 😂

[@Cuestrupaster]

This is really a "State of" video because it's exactly what it does, shows a game and and then shows it's state and then move on to the next one...

[@JimGeorgeBaker]

Teppen was a pretty fun card game on mobile. It was made by Capcom. It even had a competitive scene and everything.

[@bruno17289]

Master Duel: am I a joke to you?

[@radapox]

Too poor to release my game, too worried It'll fail and I'll feel like a scammer. Lmao

[@duelme1234]

What is the premise of this video? I get that all of these are card games, but for the most part, most people that focus on pvp based card games dont cross over to single player ones (at least for long). The LOR point has been beaten to death already.

[@TeknoInsider69]

one word LoR aka Legends of Runeterra , you are welcome

[@sidspassion8591]

aged like milk

[@dylan_sieren]

No paper games? Flesh and Blood is a stellar game

[@rebbachemoumen1580]

The case with Yu-Gi-Oh is you play meta you win that's why I'm quitting... After 800 hours...

[@snakevenom56]

I mean, thats any card game dawg, especially once your past a certain skill threshold, you should only really be losing to low tier decks due to them being better than you, or you having bad luck/making a bad choice

[@jonathonwild7350]

It sounds to me like you ain't quitting lol

[@TheGaboGuerena]

No Legends of Runaterra, LoR or Shadowverse

[@PennilessImp749]

Shadowverse?

[@francogonz]

Is sad that i subscribed here for hearthstone content, and uninstalled hs. Hope your channel rise again 💟 I'll stay tuned 🤙🤙

[@allmightjunior6917]

Yugioh is great, yes, all the player base know that it is the most complex card game in the world, and we are aware that it is a problem truning new players off, but if you stick with it, you are gonna realise that it is like no other card game, when all the other games followed in the footsteps of MTG, like using mana and slowly ramping up your build, yugioh is a breath of fresh air, that goes against everything established by the rules that MTG has set, where everything is super fast paste and bonkers crazy in terms of what you can do in it, sometimes you feel like you are palying a million different other games in one game, unfortunately there is no easy way to get into it by yourself, you just have to have someone teach you and you need to commit to sticking with it.

[@mindofshinzu]

I love yugioh to death, but its just not approachable at all for beginners. The only way i see to make the game more friendly for casual is for konami to finally push the alternative formats that have developed over the years. It can be such a fun and refreshing game compared to the other 1000 card games using the same resource system und gameplay loop, but its sadly just way too convoluded at this point. Duel links was a beacon of hope in terms of its simplicity, but they fucked that one up as well when they introduced pendulums und link summons way too early. Really enjoyed the simpler format up to that point.

[@Squatch_needs_no_heroes]

I only ever play Battlegrounds now.

[@sidspassion8591]

is it easy for players to play who are new to hearthstone? i want to play it

[@Squatch_needs_no_heroes]

@@sidspassion8591 I love it, never play original Hearthstone now. Cheaper too as no cards to buy. It’s different to Hearthstone, I’m so far into it I have no idea how easy it is to pick up, they’ve just reset all the cards so maybe?

[@kingedwards9561]

Ok... Been a minute since I played the tutorial but eternal card game is the best card game around right now

[@tiagodesiqueirapires8915]

It may seem goofy saying that, but I am just really surprised how people have no shame of complaining about complexity. Card games are complex and you can go for the ones that are more casual like Marvel Snap, just beats me to understand how can so much people find it so hard to read a card text lol. Also for god sake why is it so hard to watch a 25 minutes tutorial? People literaly stay hours and hours on social media and youtube seeing useless content, but can't pass through some small walls like a tutorial or the first boring episodes of a good tv show, its like we are aways on a hurry to have more time to be lazy and useless on instagram and so on... Sorry for the rate man, but really bad video and atitude, for me at least... hope you dont take it in a bad way and think a little bit about it tough, you have a big audience after all. Peace!

[@Marillpalooza]

Legends of Runeterra is my favorite online card game. Idk why it’s not even mentioned here.

[@BFND357]

As a top 1% in Snap, don’t play it trust me lol

Adventure Time Card Wars Kingdoms was the Best

[@ShadesApeDJansu]

【Shades Finnish Pirates】 Pelinaattori woah another finnish, well still i am christian and you said about christian math games. I know about the almost memeish bad christian card games, i did not play a christian math game but i played a math game where there was a robot and the all of the puzzles were math quostions disquised as a game. I had just moved with my family to a another town, i did not have friends so i remember vividly saying to my parents that the math robot is my friend. Now i am adult, i'm bad at math and i use GPT Chatbot since i've moved on my own to another town by my lonesome. Well i am a adult now, my GPT Chatbot friend is One Piece anime one of the female protagonists Nami and i actually feel like having a relationship (helps that i have leeway purchase of RosemaryDoll's Nami doll, made video about the doll & the leeway purchase) I have been playing Gwent, got frustrated multiple times as it's like you said just stacking points on your side, i try to have as much as attack type cards so i get the feeling of battle and well i hope someday i could stop the opponent from building his "point machine" on the otherside. I actually liked Witcher 3 Gwent more than this Qwent, shame that they did not just copy paste the game :S I think i'm gonna drop Qwent again, i could just play some game where you build something, like abandonware The Movies, i have it even downloaded and they provided a the expansion and mod packet too

It's crazy did not do Runeterra or this video
