How To Play The My Hero Academia & UniVersus Card Game! MHA TCG/CCG

[@vectovai]

So many tcgs i wish had video games. UniVersus is definitely one of em

[@1nePercentJuice]

Completely unrelated but I really like the way you deliver verbally. Unique but engaging

[@Mirioman]

Firstly this is one of the best guides for playing the game I've seen in the 10 or so years I've been playing just a few notes though. First it's 1 enhance per source per enhance phase. Eg if you play an enhance on a foundation in 1 attack if you can fulfil the requirements in your next attacks enhance phase you can do it again. Or if you have 2 of the same foundation you could play both of them in the same enhance phase. 2 you can't attack turn 1 so you could throw away a bakugo attack turn 1

[@EspiraTCG]

Yeahhh I blanked on if I could attack T1 which is why I didn't even attempt it just to be sure. Super good notes!

[@RainmakerrNA]

I really appreciate how thorough you are with explaining the flow of the game. Thank you and wonderful video!

[@HeroModeBURST]

Thanks for this video man! It’s a stepping stone for me trying to get into it! I came from Dragonball super card game but this helped me understand a ton!!

[@46Arkie]

Thank you so much for that! Really liked how you broke down each step with a little graphic! keep it up

[@MrWattsty]

So excited for MHA! 🏃I am building up my Ida deck right now

[@jdarrowz1161]

Best video i've seen on explaining how to play. Any questions i had i could eventually figure out too. Thank you!

[@brodiewan]

Shared your video in the official MHA CCG discord.

[@BsRascaL]

link to discord?

[@NezukoTanjiroDS]

Tysm this video was extremely helpful.

[@camdakill6007]

This helped a lot thank you, thank you for the gameplay demo, it helped me better understand than other videos, I just started getting into it two days ago and been trying to figure out how to play for those days lol so thank you so much, I do got a question though, so after you put one of the attack cards from the momentum back on the card pool you don’t have to pay? And if I don’t have to let’s say I need to check a foundation and I put it beside the attack card, since it was free so I do it with +0 or +1 still? Sorry for all that lol but also keep up the great content, I’m going to subscribe, keep it up!🔥❤️

[@reeeee69558]

i have no idea how to play this game and ive watched this video 4 times

[@timothyn4699]

21:42 i believe there's an error on that first block, with Bonds of Friendship (to reduce a Fury attack's damage by -3) it says to Flip. So using that ability should require that Foundation card to become flipped

[@piggylumps3823]

And I believe once a card becomes flipped it is treated as a blank text foundation that you can still commit

[@actionpacked247]

So basically UFS. Got it! I'm down to play!

[@ankokuroth15]

This was so helpful! Thx so much!

[@j453]

Thank you for sharing this. 👍

[@JustInBasil]

So, just to make sure I'm understanding this correctly: when blocking, you'd ideally use a card with as low of a block modifier as possible so that the block will have an easier time succeeding?

[@EspiraTCG]

Correct

[@TheHunterzofOz]

Thanks heaps mate appreciate that video. Would you prefer this or One Piece TCG?

[@Jameyy_Jamm]

Omg, did UFS have a resurgence or something? I know this game has been out for years, but I just saw the Deku/Bakugo decks at my local game shop earlier today. I LOVE fighting card games like this one. Not gonna lie, the fact you can have an All Might deck is seriously tempting me to play this now…

[@-Teague-]

@mattcirc this game has existed for a while just the MHA expansion is new

[@MicahSun]

this really helped thank you

[@tikimikruler6603]

I have a question regading the damage and blocking; when is an attacking card considert dealt damage this turn- which is importent for moving the attacking card into momentum zone. Is a blocked Attaking card still dealing damge after the block so does it move to the momentum zone?

[@EspiraTCG]

An attack has dealt damage after blocks happen. If it's fully blocked it has not dealt damage and will not go to momentum (which happens at the end of the turn)

[@DuskMeta]

Ok, my question would be how many cards is 30% or 70%

[@Postit_all]

Great vidéo , we are trying to create à French community of players. Does the mat at 8.35 is physical or did you create it virtually? I lire playmats lire this one when i start à New game

[@EspiraTCG]

It's a paper playmat that comes w/ the Rival Decks

[@Postit_all]

@@EspiraTCG oh cool! Will be helpfull for the first games

[@rolandtakacs88]

Does the minus 3 damage from the enhance go after halving from block? If not the attack doesn't do 0 damage.

[@thedevilhimself8952]

New to the game. But I don't believe you can attack if you start the game being first player.

[@-Teague-]

thanks, a lil confusing but this was super helpful!

[@bvangfilm]

2 questions: for blocking - is it only cards in your hands? Or the stage cards are okay too? Blocking difficulty: it says speed+block number+progressive difficulty, so what if the attacking player played some foundation first and attacked on progression difficulty 2. Obviously the first block will be with progressive difficulty on 0. But what if they attack on 3, and we’re blocking on 1? Would that be 4? The highest/lowest progressive difficulty? Thanks :)

[@EspiraTCG]

Can only block with cards from your hand. Progressive difficulty is only for the player playing the card. So for blocking, it's speed of attack + block modifier of block card + your own progressive difficulty.

[@bvangfilm]

@@EspiraTCG Thank you so much!! :)

[@ericv5435]

So this isn't a specific my hero card game, it's just a certain series/set of the universus card game?

[@EspiraTCG]

While it plays on the uvs system, it is its own game and own format.

[@finleyquayle9786]

I got the game yesterday and I'm from other card games so I already have maybe some more complex questions. Can u commit cards got checks if u played them that turn. In the zones. What's the point with flipping? So that it's a hard once per turn instead of per combat?

[@caitlinewing6906]

I’m terribly sorry to ask. I’m super new to fighting card games but I got the rival deck starter box to play with a friend. Neither of us know how to play this game at all so we’re learning completely from scratch. I’ve got two questions! If an attack is blocked, does the player who attacked go into the end phase because it failed or do they continue attacking? And If a player successfully blocks an attacking players attack, does the card that blocked go into the discard pile when it becomes the defending player’s turn to attack? Does the entire cardpool clear for both players when it switches who is attacking?

[@EspiraTCG]

They continue their turn since they didn't fail the check of the attack. The attack didn't fail, it was simply blocked. Successful blocks stay in the card pool, failed blocks go to discard. When turn passes, you clear both players card pools

[@caitlinewing6906]

@@EspiraTCG Thank you so much! I’m super new to this and im trying to learn it so I can teach others around me how to play. This video was really helpful as a stepping stone into the genre :)

[@greedygremlin7471]

When you have committed a foundation to make a check what happens to it? Does it stay committed or does it go back to ready once used? Or do you discard it?

[@EspiraTCG]

Stays committed until the start of your next turn

[@teafordaniel809]

Quick question: If you do a successful block with a foundation card, where does the foundation go at end step? Does it go into discard or the stage?

[@EspiraTCG]

Discard

[@Justagamerhere1]

So to clarify, you CAN commit foundations/character to check an attack, and you do NOT need to do a difficulty check to see if you can put a block in your card pool? (or is it simplified to literally anything put in your card pool should be checked?)

[@EspiraTCG]

Aside from card effects that put cards in the card pool, if you're attempting to play a card in that zone it generally needs to be difficulty checked

[@FavsFTW121]

how does enhancing with the cards in your staging area work? does it commit the card after enhance?

[@EspiraTCG]

Only if the card says to commit it

[@Joe_Olivo]

Do you have to pass checks when doing enhancements? And can you play enhancements only from the stage or from your hand? Or both?

[@EspiraTCG]

Enhancements can only be done during combat, so yes you need to pass the check before moving to enhancements. In general, enhancements can only happen from the stage unless written otherwise explicitly on the card.

[@Joe_Olivo]

@@EspiraTCG thank you! And an enhance can only be used once a turn right? Even if it's a character card - and same goes for responses? Like if a card has an response and an enhance can I use both each turn or only one?

[@EspiraTCG]

@@Joe_Olivo An enhance can be used once per attack, unless stated otherwise (and as long as the card isn't committed). Responses can be used once per time their condition is met (and as long as the card isn't committed), so again multiple times a turn unless stated otherwise. So Jiro's responses can proc every attack she plays.

[@Joe_Olivo]

@@EspiraTCG you rock man, really appreciate all the help. Just picked up this pack and trying to understand it 👍🏼 looks like you are the KZbin authority in the game so thank you!

[@brandonellison5713]

Can a cards enhance ability be used once it becomes momentum

[@xratedsuperstar1987]

Question on deck building? So say if I wanted to build Tokuyami all of the cards need to have at least 1 of the 3 symbols on his character card? Like he has chaos, evil, and fire can the deck not be 20 evil, 20 chaos, and 10 fire as long as the 3 symbols are being used to build the deck? Can the deck not contain a combination of the 3?

[@EspiraTCG]

In regular UFS format yes. In MHA only format they all have to share the same symbol

[@1234zorg]

2 questions: 1st, can face down foundations still be used to commit? 2nd, during the enhance step, do i use all of my available enhances then pass to my opponent, or do i use one enhance, then my opponent uses one enhance, and we go back and forth that way?

[@EspiraTCG]

1. Yes 2. Back and forth

[@1234zorg]

@@EspiraTCG cool, thanks for clearing that up.

[@timothyn4699]

face down foundations can still be used to commit, but bc they are face down, the previous text/abilities it had are basically gone. So it's now just basically a blank card that can help you clear checks

[@qwertyman459]

so can i play any cards with the skull then finish the deck off with the volcano. my hero has a skull volcano and evil pictures.

[@EspiraTCG]

every card in your deck must use one of the three specific symbols

[@brandonhicks2522]

I have no idea what you just said

[@EspiraTCG]

sometimes words. sometimes mumbles

[@craigcollier3325]

For enhances you say "once per turn" "once per combat" the rune book says "once per attack". I understand if the enhance say to commit the card if the card has committed I cannot use the ability again. But what about enhance effects that can be used while committed?

[@EspiraTCG]

Yeah so I jumble my words a bit. As Long as you meet the condition, you can use an enhance once per attack. So you can use an enhance for two separate attacks if they don't commit for example

[@etyba6867]

does a foundation only grive a +1 to passing a check, or its check valve?

[@etyba6867]

all examples I've seen or had explaining didnt clear it up.

[@EspiraTCG]

All foundations (and your character) commit for 1

[@abair1981]

Can each player attack on their first turn?

[@EspiraTCG]

They can not

[@LowkeyBrick]

Could your hero block if it isn't tapped?

[@EspiraTCG]

Staged cards cannot block, so no. But if you had character cards in your deck and had them in your hand when it's time to block, sure

[@MrJ4k3R]

Why do character cards have difficulty and check values?

[@EspiraTCG]

You can play them as cards in your deck as well as the one that starts in play

[@beastmodecardplayer5343]

How easy is it for kids to pick up me and my son play vanguard he's 8 and he's able to pick that game up

[@EspiraTCG]

It has a little bit more going on than vanguard, but if you play a couple games the mechanics become second nature pretty quickly

[@douglasfoley2060]

You didn’t mention what’s the deck size limits

[@EspiraTCG]

Minimum 50

Anyone able to tell me if you can ue your hero to "commit" unsure why it has a check number

[@EspiraTCG]

You can use your hero to commit. The reason it has a check number is because you can include copies of your hero in your deck.

[@ericv5435]

This seems interesting but it's still the most confusing card game I've ever seen.

[@Lvestfold4143]

You’re cute. Do you make Digimon TCG videos?

[@linkthe420eth]

What is flipping a foundation

[@EspiraTCG]

Flipping the card to it's backside up

[@linkthe420eth]

@@EspiraTCG does it flip back at the start of the next turn or is it just sac fodder for some of the enhance effects that sac foundations

Having tried it I did not find it complicated at all, in fact one of the simpler ccgs.
