/arcade/ - vidya gaems and other gaems too

I play and collect Magic cards. I used to play a lot more than I do now (modern, legacy, drafting) but I haven't gotten back to going to LGSs since COVID, even though I'm pretty sure most places are back to doing events now.

I'm currently enjoying just collecting old/cool cards when I can, and playing EDH with friends. I've been playing a lot through Tabletop Sim, it works surprisingly well and it's really fun. If there are enough willing people I was thinking it might be fun to play with MTG-Sushis.

Used to play Magic but nobody around me plays anymore and the new sets don't entice me, played Krosmaga too, such a shame they didn't give the game more love. Now i play Legends of Runeterra almost daily.

It used to be a huge part of my life, but now my old friends are all gone and the LGS only really plays Commander. Ive been thinking about making a cube and filling it with cards Im nostalgic for.

I tried to get into Yu-Gi-Oh when Master Duel came out, but my locals closed soon after I got interested into the paper game
Now I just play online

Android: Netrunner is hands down the best trading card game I've ever played. The asymmetry really enhances the runner vs corp theme. It's not actually a trading card game because it just released full sets with everything. And now that WotC has dropped it and a community effort has picked it up to make new cards, there's an even smaller profit incentive to ruin it.

I got into Yugioh right when it came out. Noticed them next to the Pokemon cards and bought some plus I recognized the Konami logo from games that I loved. Fell in love with this franchise and played competitively all the way until 2018. I still have a bit of my collection but I have had to sell out of it over the years since.

Happy to see another Netrunner player here, I love that game! It's not just the best card game, I think it's one of the best board games I've ever played too. I even got into the tournament scene despite never being interested in that for other games and I made some great memories doing it, my local community is fantastic. My interest has waned a little thanks to the years of online play but now that meatspace events are starting to ramp up I'm hoping to get back into it.
I love how tightly the theme is woven into the gameplay, with even little details like the hand/deck/bin having specific names depending on which side you're playing. Feels great to play too with all the mind games, economy management and risk calculations you need to do to try and win. I used to be an avid MtG player but I can never see myself returning to it. Especially after what WotC did, they're never getting another penny from me.

These new team-up cards are a pretty cute idea, I like them a lot

Story of my life sushi roll ;-; My one friend I used to play with and I drifted apart and I would go to matches at local cards shops but EVERYONE only plays Commander. As in, people seem weirded out if you casually play standard.

As a red MtG player, direct damage is always appreciated….

The BLOOMBURROW set is fun…

Theme 7

Foundations looks like a great set in a lot of ways but the fact that UB crossover stuff will be fully 50% of product going forwards and legal in all formats really killed my love for the game at the moment. I don't think I'll sell my cards or anything but it's really depressing watching Magic turn itself into genuinely soulless fortnite-style crossover slop. I get that there are fans of these things and I'm not against the idea of Magic as a rules framework for generic TCG gameplay, it's just sad to see the game I made so many friends through and loved change so much.
