Any yugioh fans here?

azure eyes only has 2500 atk, but flavor says 3000

Never played with Dragons i always used Spellcaster decks in Yu Gi Oh.
It is a nice reference regardless.

you ever use duelingbook?

The card it’s a clear reference, i never played yugi, only had unofficial pirate cards/decks at the time, but I became a big anime fan.
because the quality of the drawings was something you weren’t used to…

One of my fav card games.

People that complain Hearthstone has a real power creep problem never played YGO.

No , i did play the TCG and later the online games like Duel Links and Master Duel.

Nah, people that complain hearthstone has real power creep problem is because they played yugioh and know how it hurts the game and player experience

Power creep is unavoidable. MTG staved it off for so long because the game had more systems to play with and more design space to explore, which they did explore.

YGO and Hearthstone have accelerated their power creep because they’ve left a ton of design space unexplored and, at least in Hearthstone’s case, there aren’t nearly as many systems as in either MTG or YGO to balance it via card design.

Lol if anything, HS is de-creeping.

I’m still playing a 5-month old deck (maybe more, not sure) without a single card from the last two expansions, and having 54% winrate with it xD

Look at old cards still being used, those that are changed, are they buffed or nerfed?

That’s right, nerfed.

  • MC tech, now costs 5 mana instead of 4
  • Molten Giant, now costs 22 mana
  • Wild Growth was too strong, so they removed it and made it available for 3 mana only
  • Holy Nova was too strong, so they removed the dmg from face it did

etc, etc*

Older cards and expansions were, apparently, too broken to be allowed today.

You sound like followers of some doomsday cult, completely separated from reality

*Admittedly, the nerfs happened because the new cards made old cards much more powerful, which meant powercrept, but with the nerfs that was avoided, and the previous statement about old decks being more powerful than new ones still stands.

I used to play it but it was a long time ago. :smiley: But it still rings a bell. :stuck_out_tongue:

Nah, the only reason to accelerate power creep is to try and siphon more money from players. Well there is another reason, that is creative bankruptcy, or an inability to create and balance the game. In this way power creep is mostly just “the easy way out”.
