[@zoeyvfx2381]

I honestly can't believe Katheryn didn't make the list at all. Swapping as a fast action is huge. That card has let me combo almost every match I've done

[@PeachtreeCorners]

I used to play her, but 2 dice to be able to do that once a turn isn't necessary. Against fast-tuned decks you probably get 1 legitimite use, and there is the 0-cost card that lets you do that switch. And even that is circumstantial.

[@ZeroDennis]

@@PeachtreeCorners I think it highly depends on the party you're running with. Chars like Ayaka and Kaeya are INSANE with Katheryne. Especially since Ayaka with her talent equipped reduces the Dices you need to swap her in by 1 making it a free fast action, with a buff giving you cryo infusion with +1 cryo dmg

[@kurizu007]

@@PeachtreeCorners i used in aggravate/spread combo and using katheryne let me set in very easy for dmg

[@JeSt4m]

​@@ZeroDennis Using Shenhe+Noelle in a deck is better for swap focused deck. Shenhe cards is so underrated when it literally let you pay your chara switch forward using leftover dice from last round on top of basically super fast mid action switch (The change happens after you attack which can protect your main DPS). One of my deck is a very rapid superconduct switch with Keqing+Kaeya+Fischl and this deck can easily dish 10+ damage in first 2 turns like a joke.

[@Gennosuke1983]

I don't like some of the cards this guy is mentioning to be honest. Why would you use that card that lets you swap for free ONCE, when you can use the support card that lets you swap forever for free. Same goes for Katheryn like you mentioned, it's way superior to the Noelle card that let's you swap fast once. Furthermore, destroying summons is great, but there are decks that don't have summons or don't play them, or you don't get the card when they play them, so that card is dead a lot of times. Same can be said about the Itto card, you need to cast it THE TURN your character dies. If you don't have it then, it's a dead card. And why I agree that card drawing in nice in most games, it's not the case in Genius Invokation. I'm always sitting with cards in hand because I don't have dice to use them. I'm using 2 Strategize myself, but that's more than enough. Sometimes I have 7-8 cards and no dice to use them. And sacrificing them for the needed element is useful, but you still have the issue of limited dice. And finally, I'm surprised he didn't mention equipment cards like weapons or artifacts. Some of them are really broken like Aquila Favonia healing you 2 times or the Adventure artifact that heals you 2 when you do a skill. And these work really well with the Blacksmith and the Alchemist cards that let you equip cards for free by just sitting there

[@xHounth]

There's this one Noelle card that costs 0 dies and allows for a fast switch. Absolutely broken lol

[@tomatozombie135]

esp if you pair it with the rosaria card, you basically switch for no cost AT ALL

[@instnxct]

REAL. pairing it with rosaria 0 switch cost is deadly. i usually use it to apply cryo/hydro, and then switch to a pyro for melt/vape reactions

[@Devilfish6666]

@dulina sandaru2 I was also shocked about send-off. It was literally the first card I put out of my deck because yes against NPC where you can look at their team before it works ofc but against real players you dont know if they even have a single summon or not...why would you deck such a conditional, possibly dead tech card? Jade Chamber is imo the best location card, better than Liyue Harbor Wharf or Favonius Library (although these are nice too). The best travel companion however I feel like is sometimes not needed because of Elemental tuning. If you have a good balance of card draw and dice manipulation alongside with direct combat effect cards, I often found myself not needing to just manipulate 2 dices, rather I'd need to create more (which is Paimons other card that he listed).

[@mystey1]

I'm surprised that this card along with Jade chamber and "Ningguang reroll" cards aren't even mentioned in the 'Top 10 cards' list.

[@Chad-bc9vi]

What about the Noelle card? Not only that it's free it also allow you to switch character as a fast action move rather than combat action, making it a really powerful action card to proc reactions

[@bruh-zn8ju]

fr, also the katherine passive (may cost 2 random rolls but it lasts till the end)

The utility of having both Dawn Winery and Kathereyne, both of which are permanent, and there being no cards that can get rid of them is a sight to behold. You basically get to swap a character for no consequence once a turn without using up any cards or dice. It's more worth it than the 1-shots, even if the 1-shots are cantrips.

The card that lets you switch after attacking is pretty good in a pinch too; let’s you get a swing in with a low health character and then put them back into cover.

Yeah, there's a deck template floating around now and it contains most of the cards that the video describes. Liben is definitely busted and Strategize is as useful as it is in other card games (funny how MTG had a version that draws 3 and was banned, then there was a version that draws 2 that, if I recall correctly, was restricted. Hand building is too powerful.)

[@randomperson8375]

I may not use Keqing much anymore in the main game, but I'm glad I can use her in Genius Invokation TCG now! Fischl/Keqing/Collei is such a great character card set, at least to start with. I've only just beaten Mondstadt's challengers though, so I can't say much on its effectiveness past that point or against other players, but it's still pretty fun!

How tf is Noelle Shenhe and Katheryne not here ? So far in my genshin TCG experience tempo is king, being able to swap in and do stuff without passing the turn to your opponent is absolutely crucial. Those cards I mentioned allow you to do just that.

Agree, Katheryne is busted. Especially if your doing elemental reaction such as freeze. Effectively making the other side lose a turn

[@kentamidorin]

It's such a fun game mode. Been running Spread Keqing too and it's quite potent.

[@bluefox21186]

It's very interesting how some cards don't say anything at first glance but you then you can find some use. There's this card that switches character after you attack, which can be very clutch when you risk to be killed and you have invocations, but one more attack can kill the opponent. Kill, automatically switch, end round, you damage and apply an element and your new character can start the next round with a reaction.

[@Phenriel31]

Hope this game mode becomes big enough to be its own game.

[@v.o5189]

Noelle + Ninguang are a really good pair, you can start with ninguang to set her wall and then switch to noelle, this allow you to easily build Noelle burst because it is really cheap (only 2 energy) allowing you to greatly increase you damage dealt an reducing the amount of dice needed to attack, put them with Rodheia and Lotus Flower Crisp and that deck will tank ANYTHING even a Bennet + Diluc deck

[@Meese12]

Who would've guessed Ayaka Freeze is ALSO busted in the TCG. I run a fast-switching near unkillable comp of Ayaka, Xingqiu, and Mona. Mona is just a good applicator all around, Xinqiu has a low-cost burst, and Ayaka procs his burst with her cryo normal. Forces opponents to do nothing but switch and they aren't able to play unless they brought a comp that either forces me to swap or has fast swapping for themselves.

[@helixwletcher4703]

I am so used to having team comp guides for genshin that now when I don't have guides for TCG, I just feel lost lmao.

[@jcdrumma1]

Honestly, my fav card is Favonios Library. A free instant re-roll on dice and a second re-roll each turn has helped me get exactly what I needed so many times.

[@addenanda]

wow, I cant believe Katherine/leave it to me not even in the list. the ability to nulify turn switch is absolutely strong. especially when you are setting up your elemental reaction.

[@amateurishanimation]

For reaction decks, Leave it to me! can be really powerful when combined with changing shifts. You can switch cards, then immediately attack.

[@seeventeen5785]

Nolle and shene card also need to get honorable mention at least, I think

[@arahaitham123]

2:34 Itto support card "I haven't lost" has weakness though. While it seems great, especially in pvp, if your character died at the end of turn/round (because summon usually), you can't active that card. Great in general, but maybe you want to avoid to use it against opponent with summon oriented.

[@nothmm8582]

Paimon and Ellin are probably the most cost effective cards.Paimon gives your 6 Omni dice in exchange for 3 and Ellin reduces the cost of skill by 1 dice which is really good for early game when you are trying to setup the cards while trying to get some element reaction set pieces

[@infine-8222]

Eeeh. Ellin reduces skill cost on subsequent use. For Ellin to be useful you need to be in a situation where you have resources to use 2 skills in a row. Since skills typically cost 3 dice at baseline, it's 5 for 2 with Ellin, and having 5 dies of a same element (and of the element you actually want to use) early on without cards that affect your dice income is very unlikely. Alternatively you have normal attacks, but those aren't action efficient at baseline unless you equipment/Noelle burst. So in the end Ellin is actually hard to use early on. She's good when you have already set up some skill spam by forcing dice RNG with Jade Chamber or something, or increasing dice income via Liben/Paimon/Reso/Whatever.

Pot of greed,brings back the memories of that one meme with the black dude

[@nikkehtine]

You should have also mentioned "Leave it to me!". I like it much better than "Changing Shifts" because you can use it at the start of a round to cast a skill and then follow it up with another skill for a reaction - increased damage. Pair it up with "Changing Shifts" and you can switch the active character instantly at no cost

[@GreatChicken2]

I prefer the 2-cost Paimon over the 3-cost one, even if you do get more Dice out of the 3-cost one. The 2-cost is basically a cantrip converter, and works instantly, where you have to wait for the 3-cost ones. If you're running the likes of the Parametric Transformer and Liben already, you probably don't need that much dice generation, you just need conversion.

[@lunabutterfly4081]

As a TCG Yu Gi Oh player I saw the Kokomi pot of greed card and immediately knew this thing is either going to get banned or be a staple. So yeah, bought it immediately from the cat.

[@Forakus]

It's fine but it realy can't be compared

[@crossy6398]

Honestly surprised Jade Chamber isn't even an honorable mention here. I don't know if this is different in other card games, but in Yu-Gi-Oh!, resource management is key. The ability to reduce the random factor is what sets the "broken meta" decks apart from the rogue or casual decks in that game. For that same reason, I would also keep an eye on the NRE card as this game (hopefully) develops over time. Even as it is, I think it has a lot of potential (haven't been able to test it, because I don't have it). It draws a food card as soon as you play it, as well as when you play a food card once per round, and thinning the deck makes you more likely to get the cards you want when you draw. As it is, it allows you to have easier access to healing options and food buffs like Lotus Flower Crisp, Jueyun Guoba, and Nothern Smoked Chicken, and thins your deck out. That's already a lot of potential value out of just one card that cost only 2 black dice to activate, but the moment better food cards are released, this has the potential to be broken.

[@MegarionZ]

There's a card with Xiao on the it's face that cost 4 dice and destroys every summon, including ours. It's great against the Oceanid, but I haven't seen much use for it outside of that. There's also the Chef Mao card, that after playing any Food event card it Creates 1 random Elemental Die. Could make for interesting plays using food cards

It's mostly accurate but, I was seriously waiting for Katheryne to be 1° or 2° at least, she's so broken. She's my best card so far I think

[@John_II]

Thank you for this list. Like many card games, the idea is to maximize the amount of things/actions you can do in any given turn. If you're doing more things than your opponent, generally you're winning, unless what you're doing is ineffective.

[@b.n9076]

I haven’t lost yet, is really bad if you already ended your turn or most of the time that will happen because of summons attacking and you ended your turn, it’s really no use if the opponent is a summon based deck.

[@voshadxgathic]

The Best Travel Companion also deserves a mention in my opinion. Dice fixing can be huge in keys spots and turning junk dice into Omni allows for the most flexibility. It costs you a card, but having the option to use a skill or burst rather than a normal attack is a huge boon.

[@ronnieketchum1241]

Katherine bro KATHERINE. SHE JUST ALLOWS SET UPS SOOO EASY

[@annapatterson2437]

I'm coming back to share 3 other food cards that can be helpful. The 1st is good if you're not running 2 characters of the same type: it costs nothing and reduces a character's next normal attack by one unaligned dice-or you can use it for tunning. Another is the pizza: heals 1 on use and at the end of the next 2 rounds. The last is Adeptis (spel?) Temptation. Yes, it costs 2 black die, but increases burst damg. by 2.

Brax I can't believe you were hesitant to make this video! Some of us, myself included, knew nothing about TCG. And I was a big fan and player of Yu Gi Oh.

[@SlippinSeel]

ngl i think kathryne is busted allows you to switch characters without using a turn

[@ocw5178]

This new mini game is awesome! As a Magic the Gathering player, I've been having a ton of fun with this so far.

[@deSolAxe]

I love changing shifts + leave it to me combo... also when the crane returned is fun for quick reactions. In general I like cards that produce dice and cards that have 0 cost. Hope that they'll keep adding cards every other patch. oh, and - I don't know whether I just didn't pay attention, or whether Timmie was forgotten again...

[@RandomPerson-sh9tu]

So, I'm still a beginner, but as a beginner I have some other card suggestions for newer players since some of the cards in the list are a bit more complex to use than others imo, and, although the cards in the vid are probs better than the ones I'll suggest when used properly, you'll usually get more use out of others overall as a beginner. Once you've played enough you can probably make your own strategies that may use the cards in the vid more, also I think some of the things mentioned in the video were said to be mainly for going against other players, but I'm gonna be focusing solely on NPC battles since they should probably be you're priority if you're also new to TCG. Instead of Changing shifts (reduces cost of switching by 1) I'd suggest Leave It to Me (lets you switch without immediately ending your turn), although overall switching isn't great unless you know what you're doing, being able to switch and still attack afterwards is much more useful then reducing the cost. This may not be true with more experienced gameplay or against other players, but it certainly is for new players where you quite often have spare energy, meaning Changing shifts isn't as good, but may have a burst available on another character that can kill the active enemy. Resonance only works if you have 2 or more of the same type of character in your deck, and since you can only have 3 characters I'd suggest not bothering with resonance and have 3 different elements, this is because when you're new you have so many NPC's to duel and, although for the most part cards are very similar per region, having the diversity will make it less likely for you to go against someone you can't defeat just because of your characters, which would then mean you'd have to make a new deck with different characters specifically to counter that 1 enemy, which is a pain, and you'll have to do it multiple times. E.g abyss mage shields ONLY take damage when you cause a reaction with them, otherwise they're basically invincible. Also you will not actually be sacrificing any damage output by not using resonance because you can add other cards which are better suited to your build. Food can actually be incredibly useful when you don't have a full understanding of all the cards in the game, remember you can sometimes view what moves your opponent will play, which will show you the damage, food can help you survive a hit you wouldn't have before. Although in the short term helping one of your characters survive 1 more turn doesn't seem great, it can help you deal the damage you need to then destroy one of their cards, it also allows you to use your burst if you have it instead of dying because when you die all that energy disappears. Don't bother with the normal attack reduction food though, it's pointless, lotus flower crisp and the healing ones are more beneficial. Timmie is great, he costs nothing and in 3 turns you'll get a free omni dice. Although this isn't as good as some of them, being free and giving an omni dice is still pretty good. The Bestest Travel Companion is also really good, you can choose any 2 dice and make them omni, even though it says the cost is 2 of any, it immediately refunds them both as omni, so you basically get to switch 2 of your bad ones for omni for free. As I mentioned, swapping characters isn't usually the best idea unless you have some sort of plan, so I wouldn't suggest Liu Su (if you SWITCH to a character with NO energy, they gain 1 energy, lasts 2 turns), instead I'd suggest Iron Tongue Tian (A character who does not have MAX energy gains 1 energy, Active character is prioritised), the reason I think he's better overall is because one of your characters will always gain energy from it, and it prioritises active which is also really good, whereas Liu Su works far less often, again, with an experienced player they are both probably as good as each other, but Iron Tongue Tian can work for more of your basic strategies, unlike Liu Su who will only help if you have a plan on everyone's energy and you plan to switch with someone who doesn't have energy, and, again, switching is usually not the best unless you have a plan. Wagner isn't a must, but I would suggest him, along with a few weapons for your characters, weapons can actually do quite a lot, and with wagner you can equip a weapon for free, even one with a cost of 3, by the start of your next turn, also if you have more than 1 of the same weapon type then you have more options. Favonius Cathedral heals your active character for 2 hp for the cost of 2 dice of the same element, lasts for 2 turns. This almost always comes in handy unless you are going to die before the end of the phase, but even then if they do die then if the character you are forced to switch to has taken damage they also get a heal, also doesn't help if the enemy has either boosted burst damage, or multiple characters with bursts available. Jade Chamber is nice, at the start of the round, when you roll, at least 2 of your dice will be of the element of your active character. Sure, you can sacrifice some of your cards to change the element anyway, but you should really have a deck with only cards that can be useful in relatively common scenarios, so Jade Chamber allows you to save some important cards for later, also it's a location so it has infinite duration. This one's probably self-explanatory, but character-specific cards (the ones that, when that character is active, uses your skill or burst + gives a small bonus effect) can sometimes be really good to have on you. Some of them cost more than a burst but give a small buff of some sort, but they won't always be helpful so it really depends on what characters you are using. To summarise, all the previous suggestions I gave are only from a beginner's POV, I am not saying these cards are the best in the game, or that I think I know more, but when you're new strategy can be pretty hard, I've certainly found that, and these cards are ones that have helped me in far more situations overall against NPC's.

For the players that do play any TCG here are some tips and jargon. 1. Card advantage: Having more cards than your opponent ia generally a good thing. 2. Cost and effect: Look at the ratio between the cost to effect. If your cards have low costs and in relation good effects, thats a good thing. High cost for low power effects ia generally bad. Having the tempo, or gaining tempo: You having the tempo is huge in any card game. You want to set the pace of the game, and have the answers to what your opponent plays. Generally it means you are in control of the game and are playing proactively instead of playing reactively. Try to look for synergy between cards and look if it can further your gameplan and try you to win the game. Trading cards: This means you use 1 card to get rid of 1 card on your opponents side, could be more. These are generally good but have the problem of not giving you tempo. Blowouts: Cards that singlehandidly win you a game on the spot. These are worth it if the cost is not too high.

Can't wait for Ei getting invitation to TCG instead of staying alone in her realm.

[@lexam8320]

Yoimiya is OP. You have endless normals. Crimson, Skyward and Food buff and it's literally 7 dmg normals

[@Agilku117]

I have no idea how to strategize in this TCG so I just throw cards until I win, lol. Still, it's fun to play.

[@justme7410]

Kokomi/Liyue Harbor Wharf, Noelle/Katherine, the Jade Chamber one, and the Tea Master dude where you practically guarantee an elemental dice of your active character will never leave my deck.

[@davidshadow1019]

At first, I wasn't enjoying the card "send off" at all, but after seeing this explanation it made a lot more sense, so thanks for the video!!

[@Kuddochan]

Surprised you didn't mention Jade Chamber, that card is basically rigging the dice rolls in your favour

[@kek-wing]

Crisp, clear and concise! Great guide and your voice sounds excellent ✨

[@lucendus_the_descendus3463]

Changing shifts with Leave it to me is my favorite card combos cuz it basically gives me a free character switch while that same switch is considered as a fast action. Best part is, they're both free.

[@adminjamie]

Damm I thought Genshin game dev creating a latest game under Genshin series it's about card game like hearthstone

[@tryx-i1426]

A card that I don't see mentioned that I think is pretty good, is Shenhe's Card, it allows you to set up reactions or force the opponent to switch, and with Keqing specifically you can use Keqing's card to use her as the active character again. Also, it allows you to safely attack with a low hp unit.

[@nevanV12]

As a tcg/ccg veteran, upon Playtesting the game and a quick look of the cards. I agree with this list.

[@the_hunter_dooly]

Really surprise no mention of jade chamber is so nice to keep that damage rolling and cards flowing

[@eden5560]

Im shocked Brax didn’t talk about the Shenhe and Noelle cards-

[@dradhypexd1930]

I think katherine is good as hell as well as noelle as they can help you switch as a quick switch and you can do elemental reaction without worrying the enemy changing their active or killing your character

[@Oscar-uy5cq]

I use kaeya's burst along with the winery and Katherine card, it basically allows you to spam swap damage for free, I also pair it with other cards to build up energy quickly so you can practically spam it once per round

[@SilverHunterN]

I am happy Hoyoverse put the card game as a permanently side quest in the game. At first I was like "Oh no, I'm not up for more timed events!" Good job, because I barely played Genshin back in November to December. The card game reminds me of Final Fantasy 8, but with voice acting and actual cutscenes in Genshin!

[@adobongcereal7506]

"Leave it to me" Card should be on the list. You can get 1 turn advantage by switching as long as the other character has enough dice. It's 0 cost + 1 turn advantage is a big thing

[@asgaminglab7528]

Favonius Library is one of my faves. If you're semi lucky you can maximize your dice economy.

[@nobodyuwu3970]

No mention of the Favonius Library 1 cost reroll + better rolls in the future tutns id crazy strong

[@nostamors4705]

I'm gonna main Liben to pay my respect and blessings for the Primo Archon.
