Thank you for watching. Sorry this video took so long to get out; I had to rerecord twice, rewrite the script three times, and spend a lot of extra time editing. The HoyoLab Post for the video will come out tomorrow. And again, this video is mostly about looking at why certain mechanics are broken, not necessarily the deck itself. The introduction of these mechanics has been the classic "boiling frog" scenario, so a lot of people haven't necessarily noticed the issue, but this update really helps reveal the issue. There are a lot of questionable things MHY seems to be doing with the TCG for the sake of pushing more "exciting" to watch aggro decks. I do hope this update is the exception and not the norm.

[@be_zero5528]

I think you guys are all missing the point. Wanderer is completely broken not due to his swirls or whatever, but because his burst, unlike any other character, allows you to directly and explicitly flame your opponent through his voicelines. This is unprecedented in any online-based TCG, and there's a reason for why other TCGs don't allow you to do it /s

[@moonlight8451]

unpopular opinion: i think people blame wanderer just cause hes the one that does dmg when in reality i think Shenhe is at fault. Her mechanic to give free extra dmg is essentially just better than what most other characters can do simply because no other element has such a threshold breaking mechanic. Shenhe is just a really polarizing card - even if they nerf wanderer now, every time they release a ''would be balanced'' cryo or anemo unit they might become broken just because of her existence. Imagine if guoba gave +1 pyro dmg on everything...

[@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG]

This is partly to blame, sure, but Shenhe-Swirl decks have been around for ages without actually being "meta." The only meta Shenhe deck is a Superconduct deck that revolves around Raiden getting Chongyun and Shenhe's bursts out quickly. Currently, the most likely meta Hat Guy Deck doesn't even run Shenhe, it runs Eula and opts to constantly freeze opponents due to how Hat Guy can trigger reactions so easily. Shenhe certainly is a concerning character since her kit does involve some nigh IPE abilities, though.

[@moonlight8451]

@@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG I get what you mean. I have played a lot of cardgames and i can say that for genshin TCG it takes very little for a card to be broken - id even argue that Raiden is still nuts and can be put in almost any deck because of her ult. But i do agree with the fact that metas should evolve gradually and not forcefully... Also can HOYO give Venti a break??? First he gets powercrept , then in TCG they remake his card but better in every cenario? ;-; it feels sad

[@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG]

@@moonlight8451 Raiden is alright. I still say that she can't be forced everywhere, but she has made her place in certain decks. Also, Venti is too drunk to do anything useful, sorry, haha.

[@s2wuolf508]

@@SausageGenshinTeapotTCGits more on Shenhe’s skill affecting swirl, and that Wanderer could do 3 dmg with a na using only 1 anemo die, if anything nerfing his na to require 2 anemo die and 1 random die could alleviate the amount of value he gets from having anemo na

[@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG]

@@s2wuolf508 The issue isn't even the swirl. Take Shenhe out of the equation for a moment. After using his Skill, Hat Guy can do 3 DMG to a standby character with his NA. Factor in any kind of NA boost, most easily Heavy Strike, and suddenly that's 5 DMG on a Standby Character. One of the points of putting characters on standby is to protect them. Doing this much for so little investment is concerning. It isn't the biggest issue, no, but it is a concern.

[@YourLocalWifiStealer]

Dang... when I was speculating what Wanderer burst would be like in TCG...I was so conflicted, much like Mihoyo on how it would be It can’t be a summon, because it’s too fast and it it’s multiple rounds. It can’t be “prepare” damage, because his burst is ALSO multiple rounds. I knew his burst would be hard to replicate, so I understand why they just plastered big damage and called it a day.

[@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG]

@@YourLocalWifiStealer That's fine so long as he doesn't also dominate other categories of damage. Unfortunately, he is easily able to.

[@Ouroboros619]

For PvP, I can see the problem. But as someone who plays PvE and just wants to blitz through the NPCs to get those coins...

[@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG]

Considering that there is a PvP element to this, its balancing should revolve around the PvP over the PvE. For PvE, go crazy; no one is harmed.

[@EmergencyCringe]

I only started watching but already feel bad for the opponents who had to face this deck

[@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG]

I felt bad playing it. Despite probably sounding pretty bored due to pretty much knowing how it was all going to end, I felt like I just needed to take a shower after each recording due to how sweaty and cheesy this deck is, haha.

[@MetteMeers]

Being unable to dodge reactions is just stupid on top of wanderer's high damage burst. I don't know which one is worse, itto attacking 10 times a round or... this.

[@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG]

Itto attacking at least takes a hot minute, but like with Itto, if you can disrupt Hat Guy, you can break the combo and set the deck back. Doesn't make it any less unbalanced, though.

[@Bullminator]

With right setup you can also Noelle sweep. Its all in increased damage and reduced cost to attack.

[@caliburnleaf9323]

Haven't played this game since Klee and Beidou released, but looking at this, Wanderer isn't even the most broken part of the deck. Fresh Wind of Freedom is by far the most broken card here, and I seriously question what Hoyo was thinking when they printed the card. A 0 mana "skip your opponent's turn" that always shows up in your opening hand, in a game littered with OTKs, is *not* okay. I actually looked up what other Arcane Legends exist, and none of them come anywhere close to the absurdity of this card.

[@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG]

You are not wrong. That card is stupidly broken.

[@Goujiki]

@@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG no, its not just stupidly broken, it is single handedly the strongest card in the game by 1 million light years. I play Magic: The Gathering, and there's no such card in that entire game (and that game has 50,000+ cards) that costs no resource and skips your opponents turn, and MTG has insanely broken cards, but 0 resource to skip opponents turn??? That is the real problem and without that being changed then you will only see new characters released that will either have to be severely nerfed and the entire game will warp around that single card. Fresh Winds of Freedom is the #1 problem.

[@Ayzev]

​​@@GoujikiDo remember that a turn in TCG isn't the same as in other games. It is a broken card, but to make the effect comparable to the same in other games it would have to be a round skip instead of turn skip

[@Goujiki]

@Ayzev I understand what you mean, but its the equivalent of having another attack step for free. And players can't interact in genshin TCG during another players attack step, so it might as well be an entire turn almost, depending on if you have dice to make another move. It's still way too powerful of a card and will still warp all formats and future characters around itself, which is never a good thing, especially in a TCG that has no interaction or interruption effects during each players attack step

[@gloriousbastard3319]

It's so much worse than the MTG "Black Lotus". Black Lotus is permanently banned in the MTG community btw.

[@joshuafenty5621]

I think the main problem here is Fresh Wind of Freedom. Without that, Wanderer doesn’t blitz the entire board without his opponent having the opportunity to respond. They should nerf it by making it so that it has the same condition as Wind and Freedom (you have to be using two characters from Mondstadt to even include it in the deck). There isn’t a real reason for the other Arcane Legend cards to not have that region-specific stipulation.

[@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG]

It is the most broken Action Card in awhile.

[@irl_len]

Ohhh this deck… I played it sometimes against friends just because it was funny seeing their reactions to nahida being there. I remember it used to be a nahida-shenhe-sucrose troll deck Binzu had made, it always manages to catch people off guard.

I liked tcg but only in the beginning😭

[@agony_bun]

When I'm playing against wanderer, I feel like I can't dodge any of his attack. Even when I'm changing characters or use food while keeping how his skill works in mind, he still manage to do surprise burst or another skill. Whatever I do I feel like I can't escape his damage or reactions triggered by him. If he wants to damage a certain character in my deck he will eventually. This makes any match against him so frustrating. I'm scrolling through a lot of scenarios in my head but wanderer still catches me of guard. Not any other character could do this so easily before. I really think hoyo should nerf him. This card makes this game less of a strategic game and more of a randomised mess. (sorry if my english is not that great)

[@thomasluffman8605]

Just swap left lmao

[@agony_bun]

@@thomasluffman8605 he can skill again or do a surprise burst like he did in this video for example. It's still too unpredictable.

[@thomasluffman8605]

@user-om1yd6jy1v skilling again requires a lot of anemo dice your opponent rarely has naturally, which means using a lot of fuses. If you know calx is a factor (usually because you saw Liu su), you can lotus crisp or play around it by swap right and anchor on that unit if you're not prepared to sac the unit to the left. This list especially has issues if your opponent just outramps you and manages to deny the first wanderer push.

[@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG]

Disruption is probably your best friend, and quick-swap. Freeze works well enough against him since it shuts him down for an entire Round, at the very least. This also makes Mona quite effective against him (very fitting considering 1.1's Event). Some decks are going to struggle against him, but there are counters; doesn't make him any less unbalanced, though.

[@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG]

This works for the round he initially Skills on, but isn't always effective on subsequent rounds, especially if the initial skill was done at the end of a round, like the end of Round 2. Next roll phase could just produce another 3 Anemo Dice.

I have no idea why, but people kept telling me in the comments under the videos, that there is a plenty of room to actually counter Wanderer. But... I just cannot see it. Yes you can grab a crisp or butter crab, but it just feels like shifting the inevitable :(. I honestly cannot see how can you counter him without disruption or without having same deck. Thank you for saying this in your video, it just feels sad that when you want to play ballanced game with deck you enjoy, you will get whacked by something like this. Sure a lot of people were overusing BIN on tournaments (letting Noelle go to bench first like in 99 % of cases, curse you :D But I know it is what she is there for really to get Itto prepped :D ), but people in casual matching play did not have BIN so often. But with Wanderer up? Oh boy, I, once motivated to write short stories based on my TCG play and do videos about them, am completely completely disgusted and my mood and bravery for playing online got lost into oblivion. Because I am almost sure that next time I match play, I will encounter this broken bulldozer.

[@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG]

There are certainly counters to Hat Guy, but that fact doesn't negate the additional fact that he is an unbalanced character. Don't give up though. The more you run into him, the more you'll come up with counters to him. At least you don't have to try making consistent videos with decks that have to get around him, haha.

[@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG]

For Cryo Swirl decks like this, Shenhe is needed. That extra damage makes a pretty big difference for setting up OTK sweeps on the opponent. How new to TCGs are you exactly? This deck isn't really "hard" to use outside of knowing when to finally swap to Hat Guy, but, especially if you don't have or want to use Shenhe, there may be decks that fit better with your preferences than this one.

Because no one is running them. I did a ton of matches, rerecorded a few times, and not a single previous meta deck was being played. Might just be bad luck or that people just wanted to enjoy the new cards, but that's just what it is. I assure you, I did not want to include some of those random decks, like the weird Zhongli one, but it was just a match that was NOT Hat Guy and felt "different" enough to include, haha.

Control/Disrupt works well against most Shenhe/Hat Guy decks. Doesn't exactly invalidate the broken elements mentioned here, but it is worth investing time into making such a deck if you run into these ones frequently.

[@ratitimothy2845]

I know that maybe I lost to wanderer might be my skill issue, but by god why would they design him to do high damage to aoe AND single target. I can't not avoid swirl from him using Sumeru Arcane Art is useless, Swap Character is useless. I having fun play against other meta card even if I lose it's still a good game but for wanderer card the fun is just gone and I don't know why maybe because I don't stand a chance? but it's sure fun use against NPC lol

[@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG]

And everything you're saying is the issue. Can you theoretically "dodge" the swirls? Sure, for a time, but it's too easy to get them out, and it's not likely that a player can dodge reactions for an entire match. The card is just unbalanced.

[@TheFelixNyan]

Replaced Nahida with Kazuha, so I could use anemo resonance. It provides more survivability since cards are moving more frequent. It also allows me to replace food cards with more usefull ones. But I don't really like Shenhe, honestly. Any good alternatives?

[@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG]

Replacing Nahida removes the extra damage that allowed the deck to be as fast as it was. Without Nahida, Shenhe needs her burst to dish out equal damage. Of course, this is somewhat of a moot point after Shenhe's nerf since now her burst is more valuable than her Skill. And no, for this particular archetype, Shenhe is pretty much required due to her damage buffing. The other alternative is playing something like electro charge or superconduct with Hat Guy, though you could experiment with various element combinations.

[@Aryhada]

This deck feels alright,I've tried it a lot with my friends and randoms but it has a huge weakness as well that is reaction itself if the guy switches at right time the reaction will never happen to begin with and wanderer normal attack doesn't do much on its own , heavily reaction based

[@MrJavilink]

I've tried this deck, but my dice don't let me play. Scara does too much dmg, but what I really hate now is the arcane card. It's so free and annoying, I've lost so many times to tartaglia qiqi freeze because of it, i just don't get it, and tenacity is just the icing on the cake, it feels like I do 0 dmg every round 😮‍💨 Great video, btw

[@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG]

Starting hands are important. Getting Bestest or Toss Up early helps a lot. Also knowing when and what to Tune really helps, too. This deck isn't too terrible on the bad dice rolls, but they can hit pretty much any deck.

[@oblyq28]

This comment gives the slightest hint of how to beat this deck: Freeze, and or Fatui. That is truly the most broken decks in tcg. the fatui. Sadly, people spam the meta so hard, they neglect to see the true meta character: Childe, Scaramouche, Qiqi, Barbera, and Mirror Maiden. Along with the 2 monster cards pyro herald, and electro cube

[@MrJavilink]

Yeah, I was complaining about tartaglia qiqi cincin mage. Freeze and fatui resonance

[@cadoiz]

I love wanderor's aoe mechanic, but he's way to strong. I hope they nerf his single target dmg (maybe burst to 2 energy 4 dmg) instead of his aoe mechanic. Also we're probably waiting for more cards 1) We need more cards (besides the arcane) that can clense elements off of characters. 2) We need cards that provide resistance (it could be a support card or a resonance card which says -1 [cryo/hydro/pyro...] dmg this round). 3) We need an arcane card that blocks opponents arcane. "Deplete your opponent's arcane token for this match."

[@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG]

There are artifacts in the main game that offer elemental resistance, so that is an option. Cleansing could be worked into other cards, but consider card economy. Would a deck necessarily have the room for it? Guess it would depend on how easy it is to use. I don't know about point 3. If that were the case, whoever goes first could just pop that card out and instantly leave you with a dead card in hand. I do think we need more interaction, though. What about a card that just says that the targeted character's next attack/skill costs an additional die of the corresponding element? It could certainly curtail more aggressive decks and help counter stuff like this a bit.

[@cadoiz]

@@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG Yeah, you're right I think that would be better

Tfw theee of my faves on one team, i’ll have to try this! Nahida being there though?? What a funky weird deck

[@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG]

It's weird, but it works!

[@moonlightnightisalright2088]

I don't think it's just a problem of some characters having overpowered skills and such, but I also think there is a problem of severely underpowered and "cluncky" characters eg: diona. TBH I don't even really care that there are power differences at all between characters eg barbara vs kokomi, I understand that as a TCG a part of the balancing process is to incentivise people to get more cards. Going back to barbara and kokomi, kokemi is genereally considered a better choice than barbara due to her cleaner hydro apllication, but barbaras healing can make her a better choice for geo and healing teams... The point is that there is a valid gameplay incentives to use both characters wich leads to more arectypical teams, more variety and more fun overall. Contrast ko-bra to diona vs deya, doina's lack of elemental application and good scaling with any variety of cards as a support character who is unlikely to get the energy necessary to burst results in her being almost completely by seasoned players, contrast to deya who has interesting mechanics while being a good support has led to popularity in various defensive teams despite not having the most damage or sheilding compared to someone like itto. Deya works because she can be used in a wide variety of situations to varing effects, whereas diona poor numbers in healing, damage, sheilding(1pt btw) and application result in her feeling horrible to play and basically importing one non-unit to the game. I want to also write a bit about the implementation of piercing damage/cross party damadge, generally when built to a characters skill it is overpowered. An easy example would be ganyu, with the character being able to deal a max of 4 to each character in a single 5 dice shot provided everything goes right. But raw damage isn't the only problem, inconsistencies across characters like fishle and keqiung in terms comparing dice cost (3/4 respectively) to sheer output (basically the same) leads to the mechaninic feeling off, however this is personal preferance. A good way to nueter teams that rely on peicing anemo damage would be to make it a flat rate of damage on the person attacked removing peircing damage but keeping application, however this will not decrease to the core problem of scara's overwhelming strength and would severely fuck up the current and moslty okay meta swirl has going with characters like surcose, kazuha, and menkeki. In any case in most situations pericing damage can, and does quickly become unbalanced in a bad way, but characters like enjo and mostly nahida(though she's scating on thin 'king ice) adds variety and makes the game more fun overally in my opinion. Finally I just want to talk about numbers, primaraly our scara, itto, ganyu numbers that we have been seeing for a while. to put simply in most situations these numbers are too big for most randomly selected teams to stand a chance against. Im not gonna talk about it much since sausage has done such a good job explaining it, but simply put, how is diona gonna survive 6 normal atk damage from itto 5th round, expecailly when he has like 10 sheild points. TLDR: I think the best choice for the tcg right now is to spend a patch rebalancing both numbers and gimmicks of its pre-existing characters so that variety is encouraged and so we arn't all just playing the latest version of ama-miya

[@20DX00]

Diona freeze (Death Penalty as coined by the wider tcg community) has a genuinely decent matchup vs most meta decks, some say she has a better matchup vs BIN/DIN (imo it's equal), there's even multiple diona lists that topped the past two 4.1 weekly tournaments But that's coming from the competitive side of the community, some of which are fully dedicated to diona and DP isnt an easy deck to pilot. Dehya and Diona serve completely different roles as opposed to the barbara kokomi comparison.

[@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG]

My biggest gripe with Diona was her Skill Card costing 4, but that's been fixed. I've never thought that Diona was all too underpowered. Kokomi vs Barbara depends on the deck. BIN was meta for awhile with Barbara over Kokomi because a skilled Barbara player can negate reactions. In fact, in the video here, if the Dehya/Barbara player played around their Barbara more, they would have negated a lot more of that incoming damage. But they didn't, so they took an instant double-piercing damage by letting Cryo-Swirl and Freeze happen all at once. I've also never had much of an issue with Ganyu post-nerf. Ganyu's overall damage is expensive to get out, often resulting in only one action per round. This usually causes her to get out-damaged by simple lack of dice and flexibility. Itto's big thing is that he was only Single-Target. Could he do lots of damage? Sure, but so could Noelle. At least it's single-target and requires investment to achieve. I do agree that some significant rebalancing of mechanics is necessary, though.

[@nonamepasserbya6658]

TBH I want Amamiya back, she is a victim of the barkomi vs diona debate and no one seems to want to help her get anything but freeze (and even then her competitor does better at freeze than her). Itto is perfectly fine and you are underselling Diona. Genshin stall already break aggro beat stall rule so she needs to have someone like Itto to keep her in check. If anything, barring these special exceptions like Shenhe SC where the problem lies in the carry's teammate and Itto, character MEANT for aggro as a whole is painfully weak in GITCG. Characters like DIluc has a hard time going against stall without them out life AND out dmg him (Watatsumi Crown, Dehya talent, Quicken Hyperstall (soon)). Ramp isn't always the answer. They need a different answer than ramp and they tried with newer aggro like Hutao, Electro cube and Itto. Swirl is like that BECAUSE Maguu used to be broken. Buffing back Maguu will render the swirl problem nonexistent (on that note what were they smoking with Kazuha...why would you want to swap to your DPS to make them take dmg unless it's a stall comp)

[@Streamstresss]

i doubt there is anything broken or anything, but i wonder if there's any decks good for Albedo? i've kinda been throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks. best i've found so far is paired with Raiden and Bennett, but it's a really slow and difficult to maintain deck for one funny number if i'm lucky. idk of there's any other decks out there that would allow him to shine in tcg, or if they screwed his playstyle in it over like they did in the main game

[@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG]

This would really depend on what kind of role you want Albedo to play. His burst can certainly do damage, so that is always an option. His summon can grant Crystalize consistently enough if paired with another summon. I could see him working with Dehya well in a defensive capacity.

[@danielhasyimi1910]

Would Katherine be a better support card for quick-swaps in this deck?

[@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG]

That depends entirely on whether or not you actually WANT to constantly quick-swap. At the end of the Dehya match, quick-swapping would have forced an unnecessary usage of dice, so you wouldn't want Katheryn there. Also, Katheryn costs a die to play. In longer, reverse-sweep matches, Katheryn possibly could be better, but Leave It to Me usually gets the job done for cheaper without getting in the way.

[@nonamepasserbya6658]

The only time i feel like Kath is useful is when you use Dunya early on to make her cost 0 dice then forcefully eject her by making the support side filled up

Shenhe/Hat Guy Swirl certainly exists without Nahida, but that puts more pressure onto Shenhe to get her Burst out. In theory, because this deck uses Nahida, Shenhe's burst isn't necessary and the deck can be a turn faster than other versions.

I don't even play much anymore but just by watching the biggest issue is how much damage his burst does. The AoE damage is one thing, while strong, is counterable. Standby character damage is also strong but honestly not unmanageable. 7-8 damage on burst including swirls potentially is just wtf? Shenhe buffs all those swirls and Nahida procs on ANY reaction. Nerfs I would do personally Scara burst does not need to do 7-8 damage it should do way less. He should be good at AoE or Single Target not both and I'll stick to AoE. Nahida doesn't need to proc on all reactions it should be dendro reactions only. Shenhe is probably fine at most make icy quills 2 turns instead of 3 but honestly probably is fine the way she is. And just completely rework that Arcane card cause that's actually just stupid idk why they allowed that.

[@SausageGenshinTeapotTCG]

His burst is certainly absurd, all things considering. Again, doing as much damage as he does to Standby Characters, even without Shenhe being present, all that is needed is Heavy Strike, defeats half of the purpose of putting characters on standby. The burst is just the kicker on top to set off Fresh Winds combos.
