Rendog VS iJevin - Hermitcraft TCG Battles 01

[@lordadamasthemoderator5707]

Vintage beef single-handedly revolutionized Minecraft with TCG lol

[@DarkAngel-ki3co]

I'd love to see Beef make this into a resource pack and carry it over to each new season, adding an expansion. And like MTG, expansions aren't typically as big as the core set, so maybe like 20-30 cards. Each season of Hermitcraft, all the hermits have to start over, so they could leave their decks in the downloadable world. It'd be up to Beef if he wanted to add them as their own set or sprinkle them into the core set once he was done with making the cards. It would be a nice way to keep the game going, but also so Beef doesn't spend 90% of a season doing just cards. He's already done that.

[@jarmyd]

He will go down in history for this. 10 months for a lifetime of success.

[@bcsnowballgaming8190]

I think this is brilliant! The TCG is so amazing... Beef did a great job and I'm glad to see everyone getting into it!

[@stephensparrow8115]

I think in game #1, because the Time Skip attack was successfully used, based on the wording he shouldn't have been able to use it again in the following round even for damage. The effect definitely shouldn't be allowed (ie opponent potentially missing consecutive turns is too OP), but I think he should also be forced to use his alternate attack "Grow Hills" instead. Not sure the 40 damage would have made much of a difference in that game, but something to keep in mind.

[@bunbunn404]

The way its worded, that's correct. But drawing at the end of your turn means that Ren would have lost either way.

[@alisongaffney374]

I loved when Mumbo came by wondering what was going on and he found out you and Jevin were playing TCG, card game.

[@shivambhatt1906]

Ren, a missed play on your part. When you attacked joe for 80+20 of poison to bring him to 70, you could have used tnt to make damage 160. It will mean joe is at 10 hp, and x at 100. So it doesn't matter if time skips does not let you attack because poison damage gets joe

[@kawiianimekitty7472]

I don't fully understand how any of this works but it seems like a ton of fun

[@kezi7728]

Honestly if you watch a few videos of hermits playing for the first time you really pick it up quick. There’s also a wiki page that gives a rundown on how it works. Basics though are that there are different types of hermit cards (builder, redstone, terraform, etc). Then there are common hermits and rare hermits (there might be ultra rare but I haven’t seen any). The goal is to take out three of the opposing players hermits to win (but you can also win if the opposing player doesn’t have anymore hermit cards after the defending player takes out 1 or 2). You have to unlock a hermits ability by playing cards that relate to there type (tango has a farm type so he needs 3 farm cards to unlock his strongest ability). There are effect cards that you can play for extra damage (like a lava bucket that will hit for and extra 20 damage). There are a lot more little things in the game that the wiki can explain, that’s just the basics so that you can understand a bit more when watching

[@kawiianimekitty7472]

@@kezi7728 thanks for the explanation. I kinda gathered some of that from watching him play. It isn't as complicated as I initially thought it was gonna ve

[@piorfino]

it feels so nostalgic to hear them talk in MTG terms and compare these cards to Magic cards.

[@Williambarela]

on your second game with jevin did you forget to skip your first attack?

[@VelvetWench]

So I loved that you said "Impulse logs onto the server" when you put him on the board. It would be so much work but I wonder if there is a way to introduce the player's sound clip on their attack. Like if you use Joe's Time Skip ability it would be so funny to insert him actually saying one of his "tiiiiimmmmmeeee skip" Or maybe thats too cheesy along with too much work.

[@Xalies]

Lead would be good on a hermit with a powerful 3 slot move that use the same type in order to block them. Extra Flee, the ability to force an opponents active to AFK seems like a good move to get rid of someone like Joe also gives you a chance to pick a hermit that has strengths since the opponent chooses first.

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

Soooo... 1) Is there a petition to get Beefs Hermitcraft TCG made into a data pack where the wandering trader sells an assortment of card packs but always 1 of the starter decks... 2) Is there a petition to make S9 another year or 2 longer then planned? I ask because there are going to be some seriously addicted hermits due to this TCG, I have fears that Tango will get hooked and put off Decked Out 2 for quite a while and the Hermits won't have much time to play.

[@chewehong8318]

what a great game from both of the player , love the content (sorry for my bad English PS , actualy Ren can win the 3rd game at 1:05:45 if he haven't pass the turn after placing redstone on Doc, since the active hermit is 70hp away from knock out. - If Ren plays the TNT card that is in his hand (inside shulker box ) that round after placing item on Doc at 1:05:51 ( -60 hp ) - And will get 20 damage from X's poison (Cup of tea) at the next round ( -20 hp ) - 70hp - 60 (TNT play at that turn ) - 20 ( Poison damage that come after the next time Ren make a move ) So what that means is even if Jev will heal or swap to ANY of the AFK player , Ren will guaranteed to get a point without doin anything Since Jev said he dont have any bucket of milk or water in his deck (he could be Bluffing thou...Well by the way its a good game , and I REALLY love it !!!

[@sirjmo]

Joe Hills (Rare) suggested change: successful timeskip can't use timeskip on the turn after. effect: reduce the damage from 90x2 to 90+50 bringing it more in line with other high damage moves that require a coinflip. bonus for beef: doesn't require re-prints or re-calls, just clarification on rules.

[@weissxritter]

I'm sure someone else has mentioned this, but your first match was ended incorrectly at the use of the Crossbow. The Crossbow does 40 damage to the active hermit and 10 damage to an AFK hermit. The JoeHills card could not use its Time Skip attack that turn (since it cannot be used consecutively if it succeeds on the coin toss), meaning that it could only use its Grow Hills attack for 50 damage. That means the attack combo would only have done 90 damage out of the 130 HP remaining on your Impulse card, leaving you with 40 HP and one more turn to potentially play another hermit card.

[@mudkipzryan]

Ren I love watching the full tcg battles but I do believe there was a mistake in round 2, I don’t think you’re allowed to attack on your first turn if you start, which means Joe would have lived on 50 health still. 10:43 I can easily understand because I’m sure it’s just so exciting to play that it’s easy to forget a bunch of the smaller rules and details since you’re so laser focused on doing damage and everything. I hope this helps, I know it’s so exciting but it’s also ok to take your time and think through your next moves😅that might help stop you from skipping over smaller details and also might help you plan out your item/energy lol. Keep up the great work Ren I can’t wait to watch your deck grow!

[@Lightning_Lance]

In game 3, Ren should have just equipped a second farm item to Iskall. Or is he under the impression that the order of the items matters, so that the redstone was blocking him from using Iskall's Bird Poop attack? I assume that's not the case though. Edit: nvm, I guess he did know about it. But still, he could have taken Tango out a turn earlier if he attached that item 3-4 turns before he did.

[@coolervik1994]

This is pretty fun! But Jevin has been using Joe hills incorrectly to his advantage lol! He can't attack with timeskip consequently (even the 90 attack with no effect isn't allowed) I guess Beef will have to clarify this at some point

Coulda TNT'ed the Joe at 1:05:50 so that even if he afk'ed him, he would die on the next turn.

[@nifegun]

Jevin is playing Joe hills wrong! This is driving me nuts! "After a successful time skip you cannot use time skip the following turn" this means you also cannot deal time Skip's damage, because you're not using time skip, you're forced to use his primary attack, which only does 50. That first game impulse should still be alive on 50 HP. Jevin keeps dealing 90 damage after a successful time skip. But he can't, that damage comes from time skip, which cannot be played that turn. I feel like a jerk typing this, but it's true and most of jevin's won games have been won this way.

[@DSTARC__]

Beef mentioned that time skip damage (80) can be played consecutively but the time skip effect doesn't get applied twice in a row.

[@nifegun]

@@DSTARC__ then beef has broken his own game LMFAO, cause that's insane. It's also not how moves in the pokemon TCG work, which is weird cause he based this on the pokemon TCG. But ok, if beef rly said that's the rule, that's the rule. Guess you just need to have a lot of damage effect cards when going up against Jevin lol.

[@Draug0]

In the second game, you started off with an attack, which the first player is supposed to forfeit. Also iJevin took his hermit out of AFK on his first turn and played another hermit, so as to be playing two hermits his first turn. I think iJevin bringing out his hermit in AFK before the first turn might've confused you both. Something to be aware of I think.

[@Draug0]

Maybe the second player playing an AFK hermit before the first turn isn't a good idea. The amount of times I see that information being at all useful to the starting hand is pretty negligible. I think I better compromise would be to allow the first player to have an attack phase, but just effect cards. Or maybe the summoning sickness rule from Magic could be a be a good fit instead. You could call it the login phase or something.

[@Draug0]

Oh I guess you can play as many hermits as you want, according to iJevin and docm77.

[@coreycompton3548]

As someone who organized tournaments in MTG, Force of Will, YuGiOh!, and Pokémon TCG; I'd say the game mechanics are closest to standard Pokémon TCG play. Only difference I see is only being able to play 1 effect card per turn. Also poison and burn effects only happen once an orbit in HTCG instead of each passing of turns. May help to watch some Pokémon TCG tournament play for some good strategies to incorporate into HTCG. I wish I could play myself on Hermitcraft, but im cheering you all on in this journey! :😀

[@Mepholar]

Extra flee: Attack for 100 then trigger effect. Would flee and avoid enemy attacking tango back on their turn Combo with rare xisuma’s poison and can deal damage to enemy hermits (now on bench) when poison tick procs. 1-time effect card combos: anything to deal damage to afk hermits or shuffle active/ logged in hermit faster handy, i.e.: Crossbow: deal 10 dmg to afk hermit Poison: damages afk per tic? (Double check other poison cards) Chorus Fruit: move tango back to active without losing attack phase; rinse and repeat combo

[@Questerer]

Hey Ren I love the TCG episode. For next games try calculations without the 0s. If that makes sense. So that 210 minus 70, becomes 21-7. Maybe this will be easier on your brain.

[@tyler1988]

Around the 15:30 mark(Game 2) Joe died, but Jev forgot to take an additional 10 damage to his afk Impulse card from the crossbow one time use card. Also, at 45:00 Jevin took the 50 attack from Iskall and the 20 fire damage to afk Tango, but forgot the fire damage to active Tango(putting him at 60 instead of 80). Both of these proved inconsequential since those hermits died basically the same round, but just an observation.

[@grondhero]

In Game 2 when Rendog used the Crossbow on Joe, iJevin didn't remove 10 hp from Impulse since he was the AFK target. :/ Luckily it didn't change the outcome __ *this time.*

[@juraj5927]

haha, played magic for quite a few years, but stopped mainly because of the cost, it just didn't feel like I want to spend that much money on things that didn't hold value very well (speaking of standard, since that was the most played format). For context, I started playing when I was like 13-14, so that explains why I had no money. I know you can play cube and whatever funny games, but I mainly liked playing competitive tournaments, and that sadly requires the money.

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

Ren! I partially agree with your community members statement. If you are NOT playing for keeps then YES it is a good strategy to simply sac your first hermit to milk as much dmg out of them as you can and keep full hp when swapping an afk to active. Here is where I disagree... If you ARE playing for keeps then I would personally try to avoid losing all hermits and most likely would be swapping them out at 50% hp rather then 5% or allowing a sac. It all depends on too many variables to say one way is superior. Variables like opponents hermits hp, you hermits hp, benched hermits, win count, etc etc.

[@natanislikens]

10:49 ack! You can’t attack as player one. 15:53 10 damage should have been applied to iJevin’s Impulse. 24:12 😂 a land… MtG reference for those unaware, Mana cards are called land cards. 27:23 😵 no comment about math. I miss calculated something earlier in the video 🫤. 33:05 ack! Hopefully they catch the mistake here in a few seconds. Impulse cannot use iAttack. He needs one farm card and one other item card. Ren put two redstone item cards on him. Yus! They caught it.

[@Juggernath]

Single-use is part of the attack phase. They go off during the attack phase. When switching players, can only use non-damaging single-use cards, can't use lava buck and other damage.

[@andrewmirror4611]

I like the strategic aspect of the game, but I can't but despise its TCG aspect. Like okay you can build your own deck and optimize it for a strategy with the random drops, it's just the "monetization" and how trading goes into play, but when you have "rare" variants that are just marginally better than common is where I draw the line. Wolf is just a better card than Thorns, so what's the point of Thorns, you would always take Wolf over it no matter the build. I would be okay if Wolf was somehow more expensive to use than Thorns, but like that it's just a gate. And I would be okay for rare cards to just be variants not built to be particularly stronger than the base card, nothing marginal. And how it works now is a huge TCG turn off for me

[@Edan_TheTraveler]

I was hoping you’d save that lava bucket for the fresh tango. When Iskall logged on, I would’ve left it at that. Then when Jevin has his turn and attacks Iskall, use the splash potion to heal. Save the lava for the fresh Tango since he’s so tanky. I think that would’ve been more optimal Edit: it worked out anyway

these episodes are so chill and relaxing, and with your mtg background and references/comparisons it makes it even more enjoyable

Great games, however it's very frustrating how you use the item cards. For example in Game 3, you didn't give a Redstone item to AFK Xisuma, then on the next turn you did gave him the Redstone, but you should have used a Farm item on your active Iskall instead.

41:00 if you are switching the hermits ... Single use card affecting the opponents board you can not use that. Like in ur case lava bucket or bow, cross bow etc. (As per my knowledge)

Thank you for letting us be a part of your deck building process. It's been years since I've played a TCG and this has ignited all my nerdiness something fierce. Can't wait until there's a server wide tournament, hopefully we get to see all your progress preparing for it. :)

1:06:50 couldn't Ren play the TNT here to win instantly? Or does Time Skip also stop single use effect cards from being used?

Beefs done an incredible job not just building this but coming up with a solid card game mechanic!!! This should get a paper version!!! I'd be all over that like sauce on hot chips!!

16:23 here your Iskall card should've taken 150 damage, you forgot to add the TNT damage to him. In this case I don't think it would have made a difference though.

Why does Ren have his Iskall attacker 70? Doesn't his card say 80 for bird poop?

I’m a magic player myself, but I have to disagree about the “legend rule” in hermit tcg. The Pokémon rule where you lose if your only active hermit dies is why duplicates are and should be allowed
