Power Creep in Weiss Schwarz - Brainstormers [Weiss Schwarz]

The king speaks

Now I don't play weiss, but I'd imagine power creep in weiss especially stinks because some franchises never get another set, and in a game whose main selling point is battling using your favorite franchises, you can imagine how that would be a problem.

I totally agree, my fairy tail deck is eating dusk 🥲

In SAO Alicizaton 2, there was finally an Avatar/Net tap self brainstormer. No other relevant effect, and it's worse than On Stage or Amagi Leafa, but it finally exists.

Your cat is so cute that much more interesting than content itself. Brainstorm salvage climax is first appear on SE/S04-059 Loyal dog Flaklin in shining force exa set that release last month of ws set on first year. It is when climax effect are not that strong where lv1 need to pay 1-2 stock to salvage on cx combo make most people run 8 gate and character that have ability to discard climax to draw card instead of brainstorm. It so bad that bushiroad see making card like SY/W08-E097 Release of Information Binding counter that move opponent climax to waiting room is fine until they push priority to all lv3 must be RR rarity with good cx combo then ban this card outright until this day. Quite surprise that en version allow it to run but consider playing haruhi right now is already uphill battle it is right. There have some power creep card that so good they never print them again like ZM/W03-053 louise and ZM/W03-083 Siesta that mill 2 and draw/salvage 2 card per climax instead. While ratio is the same if they could confirm top deck they could get double amount of card. In first year people did not care much about playing against standard deck and ban list isn,t even a thing so they comfirm top deck by using DC/W01-E18 let play on river draw 2 card put 2 climax on top deck brainstorm that 2 climax enjoy your 4 card you got. Only one way to stop this is to use LB/W02-072 stanby beta ver. to rush out LB/W02-E11 brainstorm hater Kanata to pay 1 stock to prevent opponent to use any activate ability of their character on battlefield until end of opponent turn. These card are staple on all standard deck so banlist were born. In today situation that far easier to check top deck and many case got blocked by climax on top that need to get rid of it unlikely we would see brainstorm 2 card anytime soon. Also because everything use less stock now deck is much thinner when refresh when we think get 30 card back to deck is great back then it is 20 or less now. So when it seem balance that we got 50 percent chance so it same as pay 2 stock to get them it turn to be pay 1 to get at least 1 card right now. I highly recommend to check card list of Zero no Tsukaima series this is brainstorm master class series where this mechanic is born and whole deck are revolve around this concept have the most brainstorm type ever exist in this game and see how all stuff change form begin to today state.

And mostly used card nowaday for me is Klb/W102-041 white out Kudryavka tap 2 1 stock look up to 4 card choose up to 1 level 1 and above card show to opponent and add to hand. That almost guarantee you will get thing that useful to use unless face with stack of climax. cx combo that show 2 card of deck choose 1 character of each color with gold bar is also very nice.

It sucks that Nisekoi can't compete with modern decks. I absolutely love nisekoi and just went to my first tournament last week, and my nisekoi deck couldn't compete. It has brainstorm, but the cost is higher than new decks and the effect is weaker. Pay 1, Rest 2, flip the top 4 cards and search for each climax. I like hololive though, so im going to build the Callie/Gura deck. Guras Climax Combo is insane.

[@rivuns6482]

So me and a friend are thinking about getting into WS just kinda casually, but this video has me concerned. If the newer decks and cards are this much better than they were, is it worth getting into, like Coolio Ash said, if the idea is to pit my favorite franchise vs my friends favorite franchise, what happens when one of us wants to play something old, like fate/stay or the one she's most interested in is the Cardcaptor Sakura set, and I am excited for the upcoming Avatar set. I'm concerned the power creep will make this dynamic somewhat unfun?

[@KeeluahWS]

Tap 2 brainstorm will make a return when OVL 2 comes out. Too bad you aren’t talking about the Japanese format that are printing extremely powerful brainstorms that aren’t Climax Combos, giving repeatable free stock and other free utilities.

[@ryuuseiirockman872]

Surprised unicorn wasn’t in here

[@homicidalartist5]

This is pretty much an EN only Weiss Channel. Since Azur Lane isnt out in English yet it wouldnt make the cut for this video.

[@donavandavis7710]

Why you gotta call out goblin slayer like that?? My boys been shot!!

[@jdRamza]

It's too bad most old sets just don't stand a chance

[@Eiji475]

New Alice pah-chin is ban worthy

[@homicidalartist5]

Hard Agree!

[@camf1991]

1:53 I dont actually know who you're talking about there

[@varharan]

Vanguard infamously rebooted twice and restarted the entire game and giving the bare minimum support to legacy formats.

[@J3Puffin]

Ooh

[@EddricVanguard]

1:50 get wixoss and cardfight vanguard

[@Oulu2854]

I am actually early

[@JoshuaPAMployee]

No power creep will ever be as bad as POKEMON or YGO! POKEMON is the worst where any deck I have now that's 4+ years old just cannot compete! YGO you can just ban Link and Pendulum from casual and have a good old anime fight.
