[@BANDAICARDGAMES]

Glad you're enjoying the world of Battle Spirits Saga!

[@KappaRMaki]

wow! even official bandai approves!!!😂

[@guaritalksaboutcards]

ban netherworld depths

[@EspiraTCG]

The constant access to your cores as they stay on your spirits was the biggest drawing point for me, and lends itself to tons of interaction and ways to mindgame your opponent. Super dope video 🙏🏼 Glad to have you on board

[@thebreed254]

you never technically have 0 core, by using the core from yours spirits and other cards on the field you only weaken your defence to get stronger

[@bp3484]

Came from ygo to bss and have 0 regrets. I love bss and really hope to see it flourish, it’s awesome that you came and shared your experience

[@Hazalm_Kg]

Yugioh and Vanguard player here....recently gave everything up for BSS This tcg is balanced and sooo much skill based. Has 15 years of history in japan as well so i believe they know to keep the power creep in check for the game to have the brightest of future

[@PercyTCG]

Always good to see more Battle Spirits Saga content and more people trying the game out. It’s definitely a unique game that’s very skill expressive. Glad you’re enjoying it my man!

[@thegiven360]

On my mama if we get kamen rider cards i will drop yu-gi-oh on the spot

[@logicaloverdrive8197]

Me if that happens: Yu-gi-oh who? Pokemon who? Magic who?

[@brandonlavender7268]

Hell yeah. I want a Kamen rider ryuki deck.

[@ChadKakashi]

Only if it doesn’t have a mana system.

[@KGKSkull]

Why not go further. Tokusatsu themed game. I wanna see a game where ichigo, gamera, and gokai silver are just decimating kuuga, shinken brown, and ultraman blu

[@bryanmerel]

Please no. Maybe just personal taste, but i hate cross overs on my TCGs. It make me feel like the aesthetics get ruined and the lore be a joke with those. 😭

[@TheoJay615]

Ive been playing the Digimon TCG. I respect BSS tho and I hope it succeeds.

[@KozmicPlays]

Set 2 at the end of the month on top of featuring Gundam alt art cards is a great time to jump in. Your point about price points should always stay low as Bandai’s main focus is accessibility compared to other card games in the market. Great video and hope to see more in the future! Edit - Since the discussion here is YGO I have to mention Jeff Jones is a huge fan of BSS as well! Hope to see you in PA!

[@lata1224]

The competitiveness of this game is beyond other tcgs I've played. I have very seldom ran into a match where me or my opponent were completely bodied. It's nearly always down to the wire. Love it!

[@TheDoomGrenade]

Ok you got me. Ordered a starter deck and core set to get started and learn the rules. Locals in germany are looking awfully thin, so ill see if there are even any players in a 60km radius to me. These kamen rider cards in the potential future are enough of a motivation to at least give it a decent chance.

[@Cvit]

The app is buggy as fuck but Bandai tcg+ app can be used to find stores in your area that host events

[@TheDoomGrenade]

@@Cvit the app says that there are 132 stores here that carry the product. None of them host events for battle spirits saga. Not a single one. So gotta find people some other way

[@Cvit]

@@TheDoomGrenadethere are 2 battle spirits discords that have a lot of people in them so your best bet is trying one of them

[@Kmeetza]

You get a thumbs up, not just for the excellent video, but also for the fact that you said you'd put a link in the description, an lo and behold, the link was actually there, unlike most youtubers.

[@Zaffr3]

You telling me I can roll up to locals with a gundam deck and possibly face off against a kamen rider deck while both of us spout quotes from our respective franchises. Hell fucking yea.

[@coolbrotherf127]

I'll be sure to check it out. I have no idea if I even have a locals to go to, but I think there's some discord servers where people play in tabletop simulator so I can give that a shot.

[@braverave7567]

I remember discovering the anime for this game on a bus ride to school over a decade ago and I'm now so happy it's made it's way to the states❤

[@Bean_TCG]

Set 2 is coming out at the end of the month, so it's a great time to get into the game!

[@frogzx]

Remember getting into Battle Spirits well over a decade ago and having a ton of fun. Sadly I don't have much in terms of local spots to play card games around here anymore and BS doesn't have any online clients to my knowledge.

[@KreuzDrache]

It's espically wierd, cause apparently there is a Switch game for Battle Spirits Saga. It is Japanese only though, and I imagine it has a far greater card pool than the current game in the West.

[@Cvit]

You can play the game on table top simulator but idk how active it is on there

[@bp3484]

There are online events almost every Sunday for big prizes, just no money. In person events offer cash up to $1 million for the year

[@KreuzDrache]

@@bp3484 Some people do not like webcam events. At that point an online simulator would just be better.

[@Dexef_]

@@KreuzDrache Battle Spirits and Battle Spirits Saga are different games, don't get confused, while they share the same base rules, the interactions, rulings and inner workings of the game are completely different

[@kood995]

FINALLY! Someone I know is talking about one of the best TCGs that no one ever talks about. Granted, that's mostly because it has been stuck in Japan for the last fourteen years (going on fifteen!), and had a lackluster release outside of Japan initially. I am so glad that BSS is resuscitating Battle Spirits' corpse overseas. This is a lovely game with very engaging mechanics.

[@thebreed254]

OMG, someone who feels the same way as me

[@NaybOrkana]

I got into Battle Spirits more than a decade ago, it also has the best 3D animations of any anime to be honest, and I've been waiting to be able to play physically for sooooo long and no one is playing it around me. Thank you for this.

[@thebreed254]

go rewatch it 1 Gekiha Dan 2 Brave 3 Heros 4 Sword Eyes 5 Burning Soul 6 Ultimate all on youtube, and still just as great

[@GenesicChibi]

battle spirits brave still my favorite card game anime

[@NaybOrkana]

@@thebreed254 I rewatch it a bit too often, and there's also Saga Brave and Garett's Revolution and Mirage

[@thebreed254]

@@NaybOrkana i know about those too but I've only been able to find them as a 4-7 episode series always ending on a cliff hanger Plus they all seem to be "staggered" in story so other than getting to know the characters it doesn't matter what what are you watching

[@AcroxShadow]

Digimon is also very good. Highly recommended it. Even as someone with almost zero knowledge of the franchise I quite like it.

[@chricramo9999]

Oooh cool!❤❤ You unlocked a memory of mine with this game! Although I never played it, I watched the anime as a kid back in the day! I knew nothing about it, but me and my brother liked it so much!

[@TMN248]

Now that all the colors are available and the Set 3 is out will you do a follow up video of Battle Spirits Saga?

[@jldcollector]

As someone that has been enjoying the digimon TCG for the last year or so, I am looking forward to trying this game.

[@donovanpettice3933]

im really happy that the most expensive card is 15 dollars, it's really refreshing to hear especially with how expensive decks in yugioh have gotten especially with the stuff they pulled with vanquish soul

[@avarice25]

Vanquish Soul is a very mid deck. You can play Floo and Marincess for less than $75 each. Kash hasnt been expensive since Week 2 of the set being legal.

[@Deadlatinotaku]

Hopefully it has better footing to stay when compared to it's first attempt outside of JP. Hopefully it stays here longer than 3 years (permanently becomes a TCG to play in the west).

[@thebreed254]

well since we're alot more open to otherb cardgames now, it shouldnt be as hard for it to survive this time around

[@UnoDosTres-qn4lm]

The biggest thing about the first round was the translation and the advertisement which was kinda fixed hopefully things get better for the game as things go on this round tho!

[@xKarbx9999]

The best way for it to stick around is for people to.....yknow, try it, instead of waiting to see how long it sticks around before trying it. Becomes a self-fulfilling death spiral if no one is willing to take a chance.

[@thebreed254]

@@xKarbx9999 well like I said people are getting more open to playing new releases (digimon and vanguard for example) So it shouldn't be too hard to see a good amount getting into it at start But to really get people involved you need a tournament to get the word out and have a "need" for players If there's enough for a tourney then there's enough to show off Enough to show off means enough to create interest Enough interest means more players It's a sort of cycle but patients is the key The tournament is all you need

[@anya_screen]

YuGiOh has been *painful* lately, which is a shame because I still prefer its aesthetics to every other card game. Still, I enjoyed seeing some variety from this game, like that cute little penguin.

[@metal_cactus]

it looks really cool. I'd love to try, and play it especially because of the gundam cards but as I've only played yugioh and the final fantasy tcg, I think I'll have some problems with playing it but I'm fine with that.

[@Juanjo.vanegas21]

This is awesome, also explaining the rules too!?! Thank you!😊

[@em_liano]

Thanks for making this video! Hopefully more people get to try and enjoy this amazing game

[@enfuegobeat7953]

I'm really happy Battle Spirits has gotten out of Japan. been a fan of it since I was in middle school but could never play it since I found out about it after its short English run back in 2009 and could only really keep up with it using the anime and Wiki.

[@blacklistcards]

Great video, love this game compared to what else is out there. Im very keen to see how the meta changes in 2 weeks but welcome! Hopefully it continues to grow and become a game for years to come

[@InvisibleBeggar]

Rush duels is how i get my yugioh fix since it feels balanced yet still fast paced

[@slashinggible2171]

I really liked the look of this game, I was looking to get into it as I'm pretty bored with yugioh, however none of my friends ever heard of it.

[@gracep2910]

thanks for this insightful video! i wish there was some kind of digital version.

[@YozoraRose]

With your worries about Green, they have great effects but most of their cards have high summon/cast cost! I feel like its def a decent balance. On top of that their swift keyword has to use cores from their reserve to summon and cant be taken from creatures on the board already like if you were to summon on your main phase

[@thebreed254]

well they play on the Core Boost mechanic, where your constantly gaining core with each action, so the high cost balances out the swift however can be dangerous because of this, as you pick up enough core you can swarm the field, and with them having burst monsters and braves too, you find the right dude and you can summon a brave spirit in one move

[@LosDog]

Damn I miss Duel Masters

[@joshuapena95]

What's drool Masters, strange name for a bubble gum card

[@NativeNovaToad]

Welcome to the community

[@TheSushiandme]

I want the Kamen Rider BSS. 😢

[@Reikosamaa]

may be a bit late... after more then a year, but i'll recommend Wixoss, it may not have the biggest community, but from my experience there's nothing extremely overpowered there. and that's with 13+ sets in, compared to other games there were already f***ed by then. Sadly there's no online game for it unless you find a community and play with webcam. For something else if you wanna play against a cpu i can half way recommend Vanguard, buuut well ... pretty sure it's also broken when you play against other people that are tryhards xD still playing CF Vanguard Dear Days on steam against ai or friends is still nice for me :3

[@Dexef_]

Hey, great video! Just one small correction about mulligan, you first draw 4, then roll dice and decide who is player 1 or player 2 and after that you decide to mulligan. Personally, not the biggest fan of this from a game feel perspective.

[@Gabriel_Angelus]

I got into this game coming from MTG since I was quite sick of wizards and what I have found is the best designed game so far. Few comments: With just one set, the metagame has a huge diversity of different decks. Mana/energy/resources system is excellent, unlike MTG it avoids randomization without taking cards from your hand as DBS does. Flash phase and windows are perfectly defined and easy to use thanks the lack of "pile" conception. Thought the game somehow reminds to MTG, you need a completely different mind set both to play and deck building. That comment about MTG and women had to be a troll looking for attention. Don´t feed the troll. The side deck comment seems for me a minor issue. Perheaps a 12 cards would allow you to have playsets, but even MTG has an odd number as 15. Bandai games are ussually cheaper than competitors. Lets hope reprints help this game to continue like this in the future. Right now the prices are very sensible to changes in the demand since the offer is still low. I just hope the game gets more visibility from bigger TCG channels and become more and more popular.

[@Eien.]

I loved Battle Spirits back when it first tried coming out years ago. Hope they make their own version of Arena/Master Duel. If they do I will be on it day 1.

[@Awildtomappeared]

If no one has said it yet, your understanding of why Pentan does not reduce a burst is correct 👍👍 love the vid by the way. It’s great seeing this game get some much deserved love.

[@PyroK]

Love BSS so far, glad to see it getting some traction.

[@zaktilton1680]

I prefer the cores a lot. Figuring out mana and summoning monsters in magic is hard for me. But the physical cores definitely help make things easier

[@tragicthegarnering3619]

Have you tried any of the Bushiroad games? They have pretty good balance and in the case of Weiss you could bring a trial deck and still have a chance against a top tier deck. They usually are pretty affordable as most of the value is in the fancy versions of cards, plus you can tell the rarity of the cards by how they are foiled.

[@abdielcruz4791]

Digimon card game is really fun and balanced too. Thats a another card game that everyone should try.

[@thebreed254]

well this has an anime that everyone should watch check it all out on youtube Gekiha Dan Brave Heroes Sword Eyes Burning Soul Ultimate thats the series in order, from the begining its like yugioh where they add a new card type every season but better as they never forget the card types like only using this type now, not only that but they do legacy matches too, with someone using a past main character deck and strategy against the new one check it out, need more viewers

[@trickyplays240]

Just got into it very fun and going to a tournament tomorrow, Hope it sticks around

[@reikolupus136]

Here we only have a single place making tournaments and only assist about 4-8 people. I hope it grows, because I really love BattleSpirits. I'm spending more than half a minimum monthly salary on it every month! ...Which isn't much, since salries here are terrible, but the point still stands! XD

[@maartenboy37]

I used to play the Final Fantasy TCG and it was glorious! Unfortunately it is no longer supported in the EU. It was kinda left to die. Japan got a set every 3 months and we got 4 sets at the same time once a year!

[@LowTier4Life]

BSS is pretty much dead in my area unfortunately. I couple stores carry it and it looks neat but theres been very little interest. The art looks cool though and I didnt know much of anything about it until this video. You've gotten my interest piqued. Yugioh has been my main card game for years and while I dont see that changing anytime soon I have been branching out to other card games, primarily Digimon and Grand Archive. Digimon is freaking amazing imo and I love it to death. Grand Archive has only just come out recently but its been going pretty strong and its second set comes out next month. I've also given Pokemon a try but mostly just collect the cards and play online, which reminds me that Shadowverse is coming out with a physical version of the card game which looks interesting. Honestly though I think I just keep bouncing around hoping for something to fill the hole left in my heart after Chaotic died.

[@Bibi_effin_Blocksberg]

Digimon feels super chill to play - and rounds feel super fluid. Buuut I feel like the game is a little held back by how fragmented yet specific the effects are. The game is a bit hellbent on cards that only make sense in very specific decks or combinations. Makes Deckbuilding feel a bit like you get pushed down certain directions that don't allow too much creativity. Which on the other hand might help balance the game. Oh well.

[@leakyboat224]

I wasn't expecting you to cover BSS. I thought the game looked cool and bought the starter decks to see how I'd like it. So far I do, but I have a few questions. First is, what brand of card sleeves works best for these cards? I've tried looking around, and Ultimate Guard Katana sleeves have been the best I've been able to find. Secondly, I have never been to a card tournament in my life, and I've only ever been to a single card shop twice before. Is there a good way to figure out what shops support Battle Spirits? I looked before, and found some of the bigger tournaments that are in (I think) Pennsylvania and Oklahoma both of which are over 8 hours away by car. I'm still a beginner so I'd like to find a place that's a bit closer to home to practice. I'm hoping that this games becomes more common because the closest store running events that I could find is 2 and a half hours away.

[@Cvit]

Personally I use dragon shield standards for sleeves. Download the Bandai tcg+ app and it can find you stores that host events in your area

[@leakyboat224]

@@Cvit Thanks. I'll check both of those out.

[@EmaraldSamurai]

BSS has been very fun, if rider release i all in rider deck but they could just be alt arts for cards which could feel little let down

[@economicnerd]

Id love to play this, hope it gets a online simulator, given the closest locals is 2 hours away and thats somewhat limiting

[@adonchristlael6301]

I don't know if this is a thing in Saga, but in the JP BS Burst effect is treated as "activated" while the Magic effect is treated as "used", they have different wordings and different interactions

[@guardian3636]

So about that part of the video you said about getting cheaper versions of cards in bss but not in yugioh, that is a issue only in tcg side of yugioh because in the ocg you can both low and high rarity versions of the same cards i'm also certain the don't do short prints too.

[@dragonlofdeath]

He mentioned that already in the video.

[@d.g.f.7056]

As someone who sells catds on tcg player, I don't look at sets or games that have high value cards at all. I look at stuff that sells consistently and people actually play the game. You don't want to look at one time big purchases you wanna find something that people will consistently want and give them it for a fair price. That's why I hope this games works out and is at least as successful as digimon, if it gets even that much of an audience or player base it would be great. I'm also gonna be picking up a box soon of the most recent set to play around with and see how the game plays, cause I think thegame looks really fun and i mean, I play and sell digimon, so maybe this one will go into my regular games to play...i hope so at least...it has a lot of promise

[@asadler43]

As someone who watch every single series of the battle spirits anime.I'm shocked that it's coming oversea i can actually make a bashin dan deck . Highly recommend the anime as it has characters for all colors and each series do a different topic. Like heroes focus around the burst system and the second season of brave talking about the brave system

[@XmortoxX1990]

I was very interested to play Digimon, but I am also looking forward tontry this card game as well... If I find a LHS where I live that sell either product. So fsr is all Pokemon and Magic

[@ShiningCrimzon]

Really like this game but I wish there was a local scene in my country

[@calciumgoodness4073]

Finding that you used to play yugioh and then my ears pricking when you mention your patron hardleg was wild

[@colonelsanders4937]

Congrats on your wins at your local store championships!

[@IronAceZero]

Great video, I like Yugioh but it does have so many glaring problems that seems Konami will never address. For Master Duel I hate how it's behind the Tcg card pool by a couple months and how the banlist especially the last few feel like Konami avoiding problematic cards just to sell more packs (Like Tearlaments). Board states where you can't do anything without having the out won't change although I wish they maybe ban every flood gate under the sun that would be nice. I don't have a locals I can go to near by to play with people physically but I wouldn't want to drop a few hundreds of dollars on a competitive deck that may or may not get power creeped by the next meta deck coming out in a few months. Battle Spirits I love the game as a guy who saw the anime on KZbin years ago but was sad it wouldn't get an English release until somewhat recently. I don't have anybody to play and with no official way to play online I printed a couple proxy decks and play against myself which might seem sad to others but I really love card games. I love Kamen Rider and would love to see it come to Battle Spirits saga despite the franchise not really having a big presence in the West. I too hope the game doesn't power creep too hard or cards/decks become ridiculous expensive like other games.

[@thebreed254]

so this is actually the 2nd time its tryed to enter the states, it flopped at first but with everyone being open to new games now it might suceced this time it also has an anime, similar to how yugioh does it, and introduces every new cardtype and playstyle each season it does it way better too, with it havin a simple set up each season One main character per color, One Playstyle/Deck per main, one Key card, and set of support for new skill per each main, new support playstyyles and keys for each new character as for spells, they differ from time to time, old ones becomes staples and staying throughout the series, Ice Wall for instance was a card played for 3/4 seasons before Burst Wall was invented, and since Burst Wall was supposed to be a upgraded version of it, it took its places when used i love it though cuz they never leave a old cardtype behind, once it becomes part of the game its there forever they even do legacy battles from time to time and show off how they stack up to the new now, though since they want them to lose, they never play it the same way as the old series so its not 100% accurate the anime is awesome and does does a good way of telling us how to do things, even though they only use 4-5 cards as monsters for each person, it never gets repeppitve as the summon order is always different making for different actions and plays each match if your gonna watch(which i hope you do) i suggest this order, as its the proper order for the show Gekiha Dan Brave Heroes Sword Eyes Burning Soul Ultimate Double Drive now all of them are in full on youtube thier not hard to find everyone but Double Drive has been put up here, and you actually have to hunt for to watch but anyway, This game will succeced either way so get ready for the world of Battle Spirits is on its way

[@Trigger99X]

I’ve recently flee in love with flesh and blood honestly

[@DuelistKoi93]

Looks interesting, but i was just taking a break from yugioh for the Digimon TCG

[@Cvit]

I’ve been wanting to try Digimon tcg as well it looks cool

[@DuelistKoi93]

@Cvit it really is. It has a bit of a powercreep problem, but it is closer to what you describe for BSS than yugioh. It's also pretty cheap and newcomer friendly and has a huge variety of decks. It has sime problems with attribute mixability and the way some matchups are lopsided, but it's overall great fun. Hope you can get into it as well.

[@thisrandomdude_]

Just a thought: imo you should probably rename the video from and add the word "Why" to the beginning of the title. Small difference, but it really works.

[@emanononame421]

In Digimon tcg common and uncommon cards look the same, rares has a metallic border, súper rares are foil and secret rares are foil and have textures. You should look at the Game too.

[@bryanmerel]

I would really loved to play this game, too bad i live in SEA, and hence the cards ain't available. 😭

[@ifranco0202]

0:05 louder for the people in the back! because thats the same reason for me!

[@IPLayedVR42Long]

Man... Yugioh and other TCG's really need a Mulligan system in place. There's so many brick hand situations that just solidify your loss.

[@IPLayedVR42Long]

On that topic, if you haven't check it out yet the Final Fantasy TCG was a whole lot of fun. Very speedy since the player can just discard for mana. Flows well.

[@ShurMaster]

Someone sounds like they have a bone to pick with the Forbidden Y-Word. I do agree it was stupid for them to hit Purrely and SHS so soon after their new support came out while leaving Kashtira basically with a small wound in comparison.

[@russelshacklefort5023]

Love the Bandai CCG content Sadly i don't think your concerns about regional promos being expensive will ever be sated. If something is generic or meta it WILL have demand. Simple as. That said people that play One Piece or Digimon dont care about locals promos because they are just worthless alt art reprints. At least in Battle Spirits and Dragon Ball the cards get people to come to events. But i don't think in DBS they've been THAT expensive since a SS3 Gogeta card was in the triple digits during lockdown. Nowadays the most a promo will run for is like 20-30 bucks for non Winner variants and that's only when it just comes out. After a while value dies down when they are more readily distributed. That said the DBS game is in a very good state competitively and I would gladly encourage people yo pick it up especially with the online client. That all said I can easily see Bandai dropping the ball on BSS so don't hold your breath. It already feels like they are spreading themselves too thin. That said it all rides on the Dragon Ball online client later this year taking off if Bandai has faith to apply it to their other games.

[@KreuzDrache]

Yeah spreading themselves too thin is my fear too.

[@MDNPLAYERS]

Rygar: The Legendary Adventure is the PS2 game for you. You should check out. Player=Doctor

[@caswellweird]

Idk how big of a digimon fan you are, but the digimon card game is insanely fun if you have yugioh burn out. - same anime aesthetic that blends playstyle and personality with each decks theme - low entry wall price wise - less match turn off and constant disruption - a really unique mana system that doesnt require to run land/energy cards and instead rewards forward thinking Theres a tutorial app to play for free that simulates the gameplay, tho it uses set 1 so mechanic wise it’s outdated.

[@Cvit]

Been wanting to get into the game when I saw that beelzemon was good. Got hit before I could get the deck. Want to try shinegreymon from BT13 but it looks a bit pricey

[@caswellweird]

​@@Cvityeah i was devastated when i saw a playset of shinegreymon cost me as much as building my sakuyamon deck and they are equivalent in quality. Weird pricing gouging from bandai for some reason. You’ll probably see the price drop after a few sets. I would say try looking into Red Hybrid Green Alliance or even Xros Heart as decks to play in the meantime? They are much cheaper and while they don’t let you make your Tamer into a 12K beater, they have very Anime decks.

[@dave7886]

All I know is that I saw an Exia and became very confused. I'll watch this later though as I'm at work and don't have earbuds with me.

ive never really been into card games but this looks like a cool game to jump on earlyish with and try to get into, but im not really an "in person" kinda person, is there an online version like yu-gi-oh master duel or anything like that?

[@TheKaijudist]

No, but you can play it on TTS

[@slayer0304]

maybe you should try Digimon TCG, the system is very different and fun

[@ThemTwoGamerGuys]

I pulled a saga rare from one of my 3 packs in the promo box

[@metal_cactus]

Let's goo another cvit banger

[@TheKnightOfBuquicious]

ok well the first part about the one card costing a ton doesn't apply to master duel so that's fine, I would maybe play battle spirits saga if it had a video game version too since physical always has to be bought and also can't play it without other people around that also play it without resorting to webcam stuff

[@Cvit]

Have you tried making branded on master duel that deck is all URs? The hell you talking about decks not costing a lot. You either hit a brick wall with crafting dust and need to grind for gems or spend money

[@TheKnightOfBuquicious]

@@Cvit No, first of all branded is one of the few more "expensive" decks that are the exception to most of them but even with "all" being URs you can still absolutely make it as f2p if you focus on it and didn't do stupid stuff with your gems and there is no real grind since it's 3 daily missions which you can complete pretty quickly for the most part, in like a few duels. Events give a decent amount of gems and it takes a week of dailies to get a tenfold, so as an f2p you get over 8k gems in a month normally. It's only a problem if you're impatient and want them all immediately, in which case yeah, pay like you do in physical. But with physical you *have* to pay either for packs or singles, the difference here is that you don't have to pay if you're patient and properly manage your gems and crafting points. Another point is if you decide to make it when you first start, you get like over 20k gems from all the first time missions and solo stuff so it's unlikely you can't make at least the core. Same for like Heroes which are another unusually expensive decks, tho ig it's to bait all the hero fanboys

[@thebreed254]

i understand the battle spirit let down of a game to play, i was hoping this was what it was to start with since ad wasnt 100% clear on that still if you want to get into it, go on youtube and look up the anime, as they do like yugioh and introduce you card by card, leagacy battles, and having past cards and card types still be a vital part of play strategy her it is if your gonna watch Gekiha Dan Brave Heroes Sword Eyes Burning Soul Ultimate

[@Gh0st-kg5hq]

Bro please try the Way of the samurai series It's started in the ps2 with the first 2 games but the last 2 games are released on ps3, ps4 and steam I genuinely believe way of the samurai is the best samurai game series (that isnt basically a movie like ghost of tsushima)

I would look at digimon for perspective on what bandai can do wrong, like stapple secret rares and promos. Reprints but as tournament participation alt arts which are more expensive etc

[@Argomundo]

DId you ever try Legends of Ruenterra?

[@FrizzlenillCAN]

For those who've played this game, do limited formats (draft, cube, sealed) exist and how good are they?

[@wicrosoft8091]

I haven't played but the official website has rules for draft and sealed (which look just like you'd expect). Never heard of cube though and this game doesn't seem to have rules for it.

[@Caji2001]

Hopefully we get a game of it like master duel

[@trickyplays240]

Duel master

[@superilikeeggsyo]

Asking Bandai to not fuck up a card game is asking a lot lol. The level to which they powercreep their games makes Konami and Bushiroad blush.

[@KreuzDrache]

This is my biggest worry, especially consider this is not the first time batte spirits was release in America but also the fact they're juggling all these other card games too like One Piece, Digimon, Union Arena. I do wish them to succeed(Especially since Digimon is my main card game.), but I do admittedy feel apprenhensive with Bandai's past.

[@superilikeeggsyo]

@@KreuzDrache I used to be a bushiroad stan and they always had the problem of oversaturating their niche market. Vanguard and Weiss were always okay (their own issues aside) but they made at least 3 other card games over the years that crashes and burned. Agree that digimon is pretty fun, although I miss the older, somewhat slower formats. That's probably just the yugi boomer in me talking though.

[@KreuzDrache]

@@superilikeeggsyo Yeah I missed out on the slower formats. Current game is kinda fun still, but would have love to play it when it was slower.

[@RarecuisineSaucegod-ig8bc]

Surprisingly, the set 2 for BSS has like 0 power creep. I was very surprised.

[@avarice25]

Literally this. Or Bandai will just drop it randomly. BSS will not survive 2 years if Bandai operates as Bandai usually does

[@turboyabo864]

it needs its anime dubbed

[@Stendh]

Am i crazy or did that game had an anime? Something that had to do with constellation cards like the protagonist having a saggitarius card or the rival with cancer and gemini...

[@azimsyedfirestorm]

Battle Spirits has been around for a long time So it should be good

[@phorchybug3286]

Battle Spirit looks nice but where can I get it?

[@Zarugoza5969]

Unfortunately, you're gonna have to search and wide because Bandai really screwed this game up in terms of marketing and willingness to expand this game's audience. As such, not many local game stores aren't very willing to pick up the game, and those that used to stock the game have largely stopped (my locals stopped supporting the game after set 4)

[@bryanmerel]

On a side note, it depresses me to no end that the American TCG side lf Yu-Gi-Oh was that way. You see, i play OCG, and I used to get confused about the TCG side's sentiments against the game. I didn't realize how Scummy Konami of America has been with the TCG. No wonder the TCG peops goes Bankrupt just ti build decent decks. Learning how Konami TCG RARITY BUMP, SHORT PRINTS, AND CUT CARDS FROM SETS AND STRUCTURE DECKS, Calling it *CRIMINAL* was an understatement. I really do hope the TCG side gets better soon with the announcement of the return of the Yu-Gi-Oh OCG Asian English Cards. Still, i will still say for the sake of the game on its entirety, the TCG side needs, and deserve better.

[@nicholasraad7502]

I've seen this game before but idk if I should get into ANOTHER tcg *Gundam cards* Ahhhh shit

[@thebreed254]

thats the whites, they play on the "defence is to win" strat, by having a bunch of skills and powerups when waiting you ware the opponet down by creating a Unbreakable wall or by stoppin your opponet from defending all together butbthen there are the the Blues wich are just as cool as they are all Golems, they play simply on(believe it or not) a mill strategy yes thats right, theres an ENTIRE COLOR based on MILL, i dnt know if they do anymore but they used to do "Assult"(with skill being of the same name) tactics and repeatedly attack over and over again.......but i guess sice they still milled for this ability they probably stopped this still quite the balanced color and never goes too hard on the mill......unless the big ones come out, milling DOUBLE DIGIT numbers

[@demondton96]

So, no digital version yet I take it?

[@ChadKakashi]

2:03 Well there's your problem mate. You went first with Fluffal.

[@jurtra9090]

Oh look, CVIT recommends a good card game.

[@LunarcomplexMain]

no idea what purrely is, but yeah, reminds me of people grabbing three tour guides for $150 each back in the day, like ffs nah, I'm out

[@Schleimie]

Can I play it on the PC in german language? 🙂

[@Max-wp8mx]

I still don't get some changes to cards/rules from the japanese version, i always thought the game was kinda balance. Why does Siegwurm-nova have awaken instead of confront? Also: greens mecanic is also call core boost, getting more cores from the Void. Blues mecanics are deck destruction, multi attacks, between others 12:00

[@bronorris1117]

do we know if this game is going to have set roation?

[@russelshacklefort5023]

Bandai CCGs dont have set rotation. They use Forbidden/Limited lists like yugioh. And unlike yugioh if there is a degenerate combo they wont hesitate for 6 months to stamp it out. Even if the card is from the latest set.

[@Tfbrave]

​@@russelshacklefort5023that and they do have a history of banning cards when future proofing for new mechanics Not to mention when a card gets banned in Battle Spirits- it stays banned, to the point where even if the card gets reprinted in a revival set (sets that reprint older cards with updated effects) the revival version is automatically put on the banlist as well

[@russelshacklefort5023]

@@Tfbrave yep. Dragon Ball Super just banned an old card because a whole color that suddenly became meta would be able to recycle cards only meant to be used several times a duel. They got pretty good R&D people over there.

[@Tfbrave]

@@russelshacklefort5023 I wasn't aware of that particular example, as Veteran JP Battle Spirits player I was referring to how when the game introduced the Soul Core (the game did not have that initially) they banned two cards that could move all cores from the trash onto 1 spirit

[@avarice25]

@@russelshacklefort5023 You're 100% not describing Yugioh TCG. Banned Scarecrow instantly the minute Superheavy became the best combo deck.
