I agree, Chess has its own unique scene and I imagine it can be killer as well, but the problem with the Card Game Scene (I was a part of as a kid) is mainly that it costs $$ to buy and play with cards. So its a hobby that costs a lot of money to begin with.

As a Chess player, all you basically need to pay for his…

Burnout is burnout I think.

Like for me personally the Trading Card Gaming Scene is pretty much the same no matter where you go. Sure there might be different people, but the grind of these tournaments takes a toll in the long term.

Like in my case a typical MTG or Yugioh tournament makes you travel to a place and…

Well, reaction time technically is a skill for some of these games, experience and knowledge can kick in but, look at let’s say Overwatch, how fast you respond to a situation unfolding in front of you is a thin line of life and death especially during team fights.

Actually a Senior of mine from College has a family who really got into MTG.
The Father liked playing it and as a result both his kids got into playing it.
His sons like 25 right now and constantly travels around for Pro Tours.

But yeah the Dad and his daughter (my ex-senior) play Magic Casually here and there. Like I…

I agree but the incentives to being a real athlete in a popular sport far outweigh the benefits of most careers. Plus as an athlete you’re trained to be in tip top shape so it’s good for your body and your mind.

There’s a limit to these careers in competitive gaming to be honest.
I’ve personally been a pro MTG / Yu-Gi-Oh player for years doing well in tournaments, but...eventually you just outgrow it.

What I mean is a large portion of what keeps a kid playing these games are the people surrounding them and at some point the…

Well I think its hinted at several times in the series (the origins of the TItans), but these human-like figures are basically akin to mindless Giants with an appetite.

How else do you think these Titans are going to look, they barely have sentience unlike animals who can show anger, fear, and an other range of…

What, Attack on Titan is a Meme Goldmine? That’s totally not intentional...not intentional whatsoever.

Depends on how you go about these things.
Clash tournaments aren’t the format everyone plays, just like HS tournaments aren’t the format people play.

People mostly play the game on their spare time in their home.
Going past 4000 rating takes forever without paying money because trying to get level 13+ cards takes forever…

Umm...any quest with a reward that strong that can be finished to that degree with that speed consistently is unbalanced and as a result broken as all its other counterparts for each class take longer to finish their own respective quests...

Let me Know if you can consistently turn 5 Mage, Warrior, Priest Quest out…

It’s possible but not practical to train Perfect-IV Pokemon the night before an event. They all have a wide network of multiple pokemon with a variety of IV / EV builds in their boxes.

They simply just trade around with each other if they need a specific Pokemon that they don’t have.

But to be honest...most players will…

Sigh, I never said Quest rogue was a dominant deck.
I keep on saying you either out-tempo the deck or run a deck that has specific ways of removing the board(s) that Quest Rogue can generate.

It isn’t an impossible deck to beat and there are some very strong decks in the format that can deal with it, limit it, and put…

I think the moral ambiguities that you’re stating for the Protagonist are somewhat moot within the context of the game.

If a kid is mentally mature enough to fight & risk his life for a cause...then he certainly is old enough to smoke, drink alcohol or have sex despite laws.

It might be frowned upon by society...but…

Yeah...I loved the old school one, but the CG of Berserk combined with the fact that Casca...turned White? Kinda turned me off from the Berserk animation.

CG really destroys the original artist’s art style 9 times out of ten.

It has a 50% winrate? Against decks that can deal with it maybe.

Anything slower and more passive that can’t pressure it essentially raises that chance of winning by a bit.

That’s what the limiting feature of this deck is. You literally need to run a deck that can pressure this Rogue Deck in the early game of turns 1-4…

Ughh, reminds me of how CG has really destroyed some truly good manga adapatations.

Namely Kingdom & Aku No Hana...

I already made the point in my post. This is a fast Combo deck & as a result its unfair. It’s still a combo deck it’s not a different type of combo deck.

Combo deck is just a classification of deck (in TCG / CCGs) that focuses on surviving and seeks to focus solely on one gameplan. Combo decks are pretty much like…

This is what you call a combo deck. We just got too used to very slow combo decks centered around Emperor Thaurissan and cards like Malygos, but this is an extremely fast combo deck...and it’s goal is pretty much to play solitaire with itself, surviving just to combo off, then when comboing off, doing something…

This deck isn’t aggro, just consider it a “Combo Deck” It goes off and wins the game in most cases. It doesn’t really play the game, it seeks to survive and then proceed to do something extremely unfair to win the game in one fell swoop.

In HS we got too used to expensive combo decks using Thaurissan and cards like…

Your logic here is poor. When there’s a quest in which you can finish in half the time of other quests, and proceed to fill the board with 5/5's before other decks have a chance, yes it shows Crystal Core is broken.

It limits what decks can be played in the format by a significant amount. The same way Pirates did last…
