Force of Will vs. Magicthe Gathering

FoW is for dorks

MtG is for dweebs

inb4 "muh netrunner"

>>44662200
ive never actually looked into netrunner, and for the longest time thought it was an online only game. how is it compared to the competition?

>>44662269
It's a good game but I think it doesn't really have the same support

>>44661331
MTG is more or less the more popular, slightly more managed TCG version of WoW. Its not going to go anywhere. If anything, less new players means less normies shitting it up. The last few sets have been utter shit since it got a large boost of popularity.

>>44662269
It's not really competing with MtG as it is a LCG rather than a CCG. Though, it's fun, but much like MtG the barrier of entry is now rather high as the game has been going on for quite some time and if you want a complete collection there are an absurd amount of datapacks and expansions you need to buy. You also have to buy three Core Sets if you want a full set of every card in it.

>>44661331
Force of Will looks pretty horrible. Don't know how you'd ever touch those cards.

You also forgot about Limited in Magic which is OK and the main reason because I'm (still) interested in that game. If competitive constructed isn't your thing anymore turn to other formats like EDH or 2HG.

Why not both?

Can FoW be playsd with more than two players?

Also, it seems just as stupidly expensive as Magic.

>>44661331
>FoW is getting popular
>The number of players is increasing so there will be more places to play tourneys.
lol

>>44664898
>I haven t looked up how many force of will tournaments are actually happen
>I haven't read that they give you tons of free shit just for going
>:^)

>>44664595
Yes it can, but some card rules become a little weird if you try it. You can also play a game with 4 people as two teams of two. Each teach shares a life pool, but not fields.

Also in my experience force of will is tons cheaper. The most expensive card you will see floating around right now would be one of the Uber rulers, and they are only selling for $150. Compared to magic that's a dream.

>>44663963
>>44664534
MtG is more expensive from what I've heard of FoW. Especially for high-level play.

>>44661331
I think the issues of mana flood and screw would be reduced in this game, but not sure.
Obviously, MtG has managed to work around their mana system, but IMHO, they haven't really resolved it completely.
That's just my opinion.

>>44665087
So it's just as retarded with the prices.

>>44662200
Did you seriously just use the word normies non-sarcastically?
Come on now.


I'd agree that MtG trying to get more sales by making the planeswalkers into identifiable characters and not mystical super-intenties was a mistake, however.
It explained the whole game, and I thought the imagery of actually creating land on the spot and whatnot was far, far more interesting for me as a player.

>>44665140
The $150 is a one-of, though. It's your General/Commander, essentially.

What.

>>44665087
Whoa wait what the fuck. Isn't a box like 40 bucks? What fucking card triples the value of the box?

Also what's the average amount of money to usually build a deck?

>>44665405
>>44665465
Who the fuck is playing Vintage?
Compare it to Legacy, Modern or Standard.
It'll probably be cheaper to get a deck for FoW than for the first two, but thanks to shit balance, formats and powercreep, Japanese CCGs combine the turnover of Standard with the singular price development of Legacy.
So unless we are talking Pokemon levels of reprints here, it'll get more expensive than Magic quickly.

Wouldn't a lot of these price issues depend heavily on how you play the game and get into each new set?

>>44665591
Depends.
The current overpowered Ruler (read: commander) is >>44665087
You don't have to buy it, and you can just do casual stuff until a set strikes your interest.

Personally, I started with the Knights Engage box, which was $40, comes with some good material, and a half set of dual lands.

>>44665591
Sure. You could also play pauper MtG.
You can try and play any CCG on the cheap. But in reality, with most groups the power starts to spiral up quickly once the arms race has begun, and then you either start spending or get left in the dust.

>>44661331
CCGs suck in general. The game literally boils down to "he who spends the most money on cards will win 95% of the time." It's a really toxic business model.

Living Card Games FTW. Everyone has the same set and starts from an even starting point. This removes a lot of the "collecting" elements that really favor obnoxious autists and puts the emphasis back on skill and luck.

>>44665647
Not if you play them right.

You can always lend a deck to someone if its such a problem. CCG players are pretty flexible in my experience.

>>44665140

Only the general as i know, but there are cheap generals that are one of in each deck and see competitive play.

Its like a tarmogoyf, but you dont need it to play the game since there are more types of deck that can beat easily the one that use it.

>>44665647
Collecting can be fun if the art is good.
Also, if you're good at it and/or lucky, it has the potential to bring a profit to you, so I don't see what's so wrong.

How cheap are they?
How much cost each booster box?
How is the distribution of common, uncommons and rares in each pack?

Most of the art repels me from the game. Why should I play it?

Why the hell are you all so bad at explaining this.

The $150+ cards are all uber rares. Which are all monochromes of existing cards. In other words you don't actually need them. The most expensive card in the game at base value only runs $30+ and its getting cycled out of competitive within the end of the year. The current FOTM Ruler only runs about $20.

>>44665753
>see competitive play
A lot of cheap rogue decks sees play in mtg tournaments too. But if you are talking about competitive, it is Tier 1 or bust.

>>44665826
But how much costs to buy a good deck and most importantly, is it possible to draft, or other sorts of limited events?

>>44665816
>Everything about the game except how it plays as a game

If its a fun game, get the game.

Arts not that bad any way if any tolerance at all for weeb, really.

>>44665826
As to why it should be played, each starter deck comes largely with playsets of each card, so none of the shitty 1 of each rare theme decks you get with most tcgs.

After just messing around with the Arla/White deck in particular I can see that it is built with the intention of easily building up to a turn 4-7 win. What other pre-constructed starter in other games will actually teach you how to win their game?

>>44665826
The dragon art looks pretty cool imo.

The expensive caards are like the planeswalker cards you get from buying the stupid nerf garruk axe.

Most commons and uncommons are cheap as fuck.

Not baiting, but FoW would be apretty good game is the fucking art wasnt so weeb. I could care less about the life points in 3 digits, but fuck, the weeb art is a bullet in the foot for me.

>>44665826
Fucking thank you. So it's similar to Yugioh's ghost rare thing I assume? Just a fancy rarity for a card found at other rarities.

>>44665886
Cool. How easy would it be to upgrade a starter deck into something a bit more serious?

Also is there a visual database to look at cards and figure out what is gonna stay and cycle out yet? What's the current meta like too?

You know, about this artwork. Everyone keeps saying its web, but the real issue I have with it is like 90% of them are waifu bait females.
I still am thinking that maybe a lot of this could be due to the shock of seeing weeb art on CCG when you're used to MtG style.
But really, they don't even try with some of these.

Yeah I'm still pathetic enough to purchase these waifu softcore cards.

Competitive decks run about $150 and most of that cost is largely consolidated to 6-10 cards in the deck so a competitive and casual deck rent necessarily that different. I have no idea about draft

>>44665906
>FoW would be apretty good game is the fucking art wasnt so weeb. I could care less about the life points in 3 digits, but fuck, the weeb art is a bullet in the foot for me.

Unfortuantely that part of this doesn't seem to be going away which is great for people who can take it but not so for other people. there isn't much that can be done about that so its understandable.

>>44665886
The starter deck also consist of mostly female angels and fairies. the only identifiable males in it are the Wingmen. only two cards in the deck don't have flying so except for the option of using a specific combo within the deck for turning enemies into flying and destroying them.

So the wingmen seem to have been included for the sheer sake of making a the joke of "Arla and his Wingmen"

>>44665886
I haven't bought a starter deck in ages, but a lot of mtg decks comes with tips in how to play the deck, sometimes they even come with booster recommendations.

>>44666113

They still come with a tip on how to play the deck, but they dont recommend on what to get anymore. Maybe because it comes with 2 boosters in it.

>>44665886
>What other pre-constructed starter in other games will actually teach you how to win their game?
Errr... I'm not against you here but..

All of the MtG ones (at least lately)?

>>44666165

I'm talking bout the mtg starters btw.

>>44661331
FoW cards themselves are lower quality and the need for Rulers rubs me the wrong way.

I think in the end, we can't know which one we like unless we play both games.
There's so much you don't realize until you're actually sitting at a table playing these games.

I really wish the cards had the names of illustrators like MTG cards.

>>44665886
This art is good, and I would play something like this.

>>44666094
>>44666106
But a half-naked girl and a fuccboi? There is no way I can play with or against with cards like these in public. Why do all manga-oriented card games print lewds? Ygo, vanguard, w/s, well, I guess only pokemon is safe from the curse.

75% of the card I saw in this game have or waifu material or lewd art. There are pretty good art but it is only a selected few.

>>44666189
Dunno, I had some cards on my hand and the quality is not that bad. Inferior to MtG of course, but over the top better than YuGiOh.

>>44666221
Dude, back in 1994 and in the first years of Magic, they had no official rules of the fucking game, there were many problem in the first years of Magic that they had to implement official rules to their fucking game, and that didnt solve it at all.

>>44661331
>and Magic is getting less new players
Says who? Events have been hitting record highs, and at least through Khans (not sure about BFZ), every first set of a block has broken the existing record for most packs sold.

Magic is GROWING, not shrinking.

Yeah they come at essentially expedition land rarity of 1 in every 7 boxes out of 12 or some shit I'm quoting the figure

>Cool. How easy would it be to upgrade a starter deck into something a bit more serious?

pretty easily however some of the decks power is specifically limited by their ruler. the black Deck or Rezzard specifically comes with potentially powerful effects that only apply if he is the decks ruler like Persephone. It allows the deck to stand its ground with built decks to a certain level but if you wanted to use a different ruler their signature cards don't carry the same weight.

This could just be a problem with Rezzard. I've only seen his and Arlas

as for visual Databases I know there's apps and sites for it already. the current "standard" type includes the Grimm and Alice Clusters or sets, With the grimm cycling out by the end of the year. as for the meta I'm not too familiar but it seems everyone is using the FOTM ruler Reflect // Refrain due to its versatility and compatibility with many types of decks

>>44666446
>>44666455

The Dante speciically came from a special release box, "Vingolf : Engage Knights" which was nothing but waifu cards. I couldn't tell you why they all suck artwise either

>>44666504
Eh.
Well, I guess you just have to protect them better and be sure to purchase sleeves.

>>44666541
Yeah but that doesn't change the fact the production value isn't the same. I still play plenty of magic decks unsleeved, when the card game assumesy o u need sleeves to keep their shit together, it ain't a good sign.

As for the lewd thing...

This is currently the most expensive base card in the game with copies going at $30+. Uncensored(I assume) misprints without Stockings go for $99. it really is unavoidable if you can't stand that kind of thing. Though I feel like the recent set has been at least tasteful about it

>>44666582
I guess.
At least increases the value of cards if you take care of them maybe, but yeah.. You'd need stronger sleeves to make up for it even.
I just cheap simple sleeves for MtG. They don't really increase the durability that much.
If these bend and smash too easily, that means I'll have to make up for more.

I don't like that either.

>>44666643
Also why am I missing entire words in my sentences?
Jesus christ I need better sleep.

>>44666588
Saw some of those on ebay.
I don't think they're uncensored, given its relatively limited demographic any way and what we've already seen of this CCG.
Since they clearly make waifu cards it would be a fairly obvious move for them to make a stockings version, and a no stockings version purely as a special version of the same card.

Magic constructed formats are absolute garbage. I only play EDH.

Luckily, this means I transitioned fairly well to Force of Will, especially since the power level is so high.

The game feels a bit too "fast" for me right now, considering Reflect/Refrain and shit like red rush being so prominent, but the game is so cheap to acquire playsets for that I really don't mind.

If you're autistic about muh art direction, you're fucked. But if you actually play games because of their rulesets, Force is great.

Not OP, but here in Cleveland, we used to have 40+ players at our FNMs befor BfZ. Now we are sharing the store on fridays with FoW players because we can barely get to 8-10 ppk in standard. None of my friends is excited about Oath to the point that they dont care anymore and my LGS dont know if they should be running single prerelease.

>>44668669

There are no new players since BfZ happened and those new players just stopped playing at certain point because a fucking deck cost like 500-600$ in Standard. Other players just moved on or started playing YGO and FoW.

>>44668770
This thread again?

You guys sound like sissy girls complaining about the price.

New players? We dont fucking need those plebs. If they cant pay for their hobby that means they are poor as fuck and shouldnt have played mtg in the first place and shouldbeworking harder oor get a better job. Im not even shitposting.

>>44668852
>New players? We dont fucking need those plebs. If they cant pay for their hobby that means they are poor as fuck and shouldnt have played
You need new players when old players see bfz as a bullshit sham and stop playing standard though. It's not just a money thing. The set sucked and riding off old fetch lands is a stupid marketing and set design move.

>>44665647
So I looked this up. Is the only difference between a LCG and a CCG is that the LCG has absolutely no random cards in a pack?

>>44668545
At least they have good art of LEVEL TEN TRAINS.

>>44669104
If they cant pay for a hobby they can go play something else. We dont need someone who cant pay for a deck. 500$ is expensive? Work and earn money for a couple of months and then buy your cards. Still dont have the money? Too bad, the game is not for you and you should not have any hobby in general till you stop being a poorfag.

>>44669179
Netrunner at least has draft packs. But yeah. When you buy an expansion or booster for a LCG you know exactly which cards you're gonna get and that will generally include an entire playset of all the cards. For some reason Fantasy Flight decided that Netrunner would be better if the core set didn't include entire playsets of every card however, and I'm not sure if any other LCGs does it the same way.

Casual Draft covers that my friend. There will be new players in the game. It doesnt matter if they leave at some point. Once they bought boosters from their lgs, the job is done and noone will give a fuck about it.

>>44669280
All LCGs do it the same way. FFG's reasoning is that this way they can put more different cards in a core box, which shows off more of the game and makes it more likely that more people will enjoy it, while still keeping the price of the box reasonable. After all, not everyone plays competitively, and for casual play one core is enough for most of their games.

For the LCGs I've played, here's how I view their necessity of multiple cores:
1) Star Wars - two cores absolutely required, but never three (since two gives full playsets of everything - Star Wars only allows two copies of a card in a deck)
2) Netrunner - one copy is fine for casual play and low-level competitive play; get two if you're very competitive. This will give you full playsets of everything except about 10 cards, and you can just buy a third copy of those on ebay or something
3) Lord of the Rings (a different beast than the others, by virtue of being coop and thus not having a competitive scene) - one core is fine unless you're super hardcore. There are a lot of 1x cards in the core, but expansions replace most of those with better alternatives
4) Game of Thrones 2nd edition - two cores recommended for casual play; three for competitive (lots of 1x cards in the box, including most headliner characters)

>>44669851

Would you enlighten me how can draft covers the income of new players who want to play the game?

You are just shitposting m8. Go back to your shithole and shut the fuck up.

I don't see it being that different than MTG's full-edge mode they've been pulling lately with the art and flavor text: it's just a different flavor of cringe. I stomached one, I can do another. As long as the game is fun, I don't really care.

>>44668852
>New players? We dont fucking need those plebs.
>Im not even shitposting
You are shitposting.

mana screw is the worst feeling in a CCG. and it sucks when it happens in limited where there's arguably very little you can do to mitigate the bad luck. It also sucks that the best cards to mitigate mana screw are almost guaranteed to be the most expensive.

I hate this fucking archaic piece of shit game. Seriously, fuck MTG.

But I still wouldn't be caught dead playing anime pedo bait; the waifuing.

Game with both excellent mechanics and not shit art fucking when?

No, WIXOSS is a standalone card game that released at the same time as its anime, which was the opposite of a card commercial because it never focused on the card game.

The gameplay is really fun. It also has an online place to play. http://www.webxoss.com/

Nothing wrong with re-using an idea if they try to add something to it.
People are too hyper-focused on originality. It doesn't work that way.

Most everything is heavily based off of something, and if you look deep enough into it fucking everything is an obvious rip-off of something.

>>44678757

Not OP, but hte game is getting popular in many game stores. Is this the result of shitty block Battle for Zendkiar and the increased price for newbies?

>>44669269
>>44669851

You guys are part of the problem that is killing the game and you can go fuck yourselves.

I've seen the art of FoW and some of them are weeb pandering, but it also have cool art. I might try to get into the game since our LGS started to run a tourney the same day as FNM.

>>44668669

They guy is probably right. FNMs had a lot of players before new zendikar arrived. Now they dont have as many players (running 8-10 ppl tourney yesterday when it reached 30+ ppl when Theros-Khans were legal). Probably people are just buying singles/booster boxes of Oath and waiting for fetchs to rotate with new Innistrad.

>>44678825
Jesus christ you must be trolling

>>44679016
Good.
Magic deserves to die after what they did to the planeswalker lore.

The originally planeswalkers pretty much explained everything that went on in batle as just something these wizards could do/see/whatever (e.g. create/summon giant swathes of land).
This too me seems far more interesting and engaging within the context of MtG than just oh Chandra can shoot fire.
Not to mentioning the overall sense of pandering it gave to the series.

>>44661331
>Mentioning cons of FoW
>Not mentioning Reflect/Refrain

Nice job.

>>44679748

Dont makeme remember Chandra fucking killed Ulamog and Kozilek by burning them to death. BURNING TWO ELDRAZI TITANS THAT OLD WALKERS HAD TON OF PROBLEM DEALING WITH.

>>44679748
I'm not into Japansee CCGs, but its kinda funny people are hating on these weeb TCGs for being weeb waifu shit when MtG already made the biggest pandering mistake out of all the CCGs.

They turned chandra into a waifu and turned planeswalkers overall into generic mascots.

>>44680149
To be clear, I'm not into MtG either, partly for these same reasons and these reasons pretty much summarize how I feel about MtG as a whole.

>>44680021
Wow really?
Fucking new planeswalkers are worse than I thought.

>>44665087
YO, can't just say that. The Uber rulers are premium-beyond-premium, they are also available in regular foil and in non-foil. R&R, the OP ruler, is only $30 usually.

>>44679802
R/R is the coolest part of FoW. Only reason I'm considering buying into it.
I'd build a draw-go style control. I hear that's a shitty brew since he's actually an aggro ruler?

>>44680417

Ya, anon revealed some scans from the artbook some days ago, where it says how the eldrazi fall. Jace and Nissa made the Eldrazi mortal by bringing Ula and Kozi's entire manifestation to Zendikar. Gideon kept the spawns at bay and chandra just roasted them to death.

>>44661331

>>44679748

That is not what your lands represent.

>>44679748
I still love magic, but I do think that the story has gotten worse since we went from planeswalkers being a big deal, and having them be few and far between, to them being fairly run of the mill. They could just call them wizards or mages at this point, because they appear to just be people with magical powers.

Just waiting for the FFG LCG L5R

>>44680021
The reason the old gnag didn't kill the Titans was because Ugin was convinced that they served some sort of higher purpose in the multiverse and that by killing them they would unleash yet another apocalyptic event that threatened the existence of everything.

So, obviously, that's what's gonna happen now. The future of the multiverse will be threatened because of the rash actions by Jace, and Ugin, Sorin and Nahiri will have to become the new Galact... eh, Eldrazi Titans.

So I want to play FoW as a Magic player and I don't know how to get into it. I've heard the starter decks are actually kinda ok and you can upgrade them pretty easily? I like esper durdle strategies going long and having interaction and inevitability, is there a starter deck for that kind of stuff?

Did you know, if you aren't a total unlikable faggot then no one will care. Though if the art is really that big of a deal for you, you are probably a total unlikable faggot.

>>44680865
There are some decks floating around that are kinda ridiculous because you can drop big dudes really early, R/R can be built literally how ever you want to build it. Want dudes? Build dudes. Want control? Build control. Want burn? Build burn. Despite restricting rulers by being stupidly good, they massively increase potentially playable decks by almost completely removing bad draws. The best MTG analogue is that R/R is JtMS that you get on turn 0 for free and don't have to spend any mana to get and lets you see 3 cards off the top of your deck before your second turn even starts and is almost impossible to kill.

R/R just enables magical christmasland to happen with an increased frequency. That is the best way to define it.

I still think Valentina 2.0 is the second best ruler after R/R for the current standard rulers.

Question, is there any rules like Colour Identity from EDH for deck building? I looked at some of the 'Ruler' cards and they state that they are a certain attribute (colour). Can I only use other cards of that colour or is it just for other interactions I haven't seen yet?
Like if I were to use this ruler, can I only play blue?

Nope. You could play mono-red with her, if you really wanted.

>>44688005

You mean playing both tcg? Well depends on how much money you have for both hobbies and preferences (magic have expensive formats know as vintage, legacy and now modern). Also some people dontlike weeb art. If you have thee money and like weeb art, then you can play both games.

I'd love that FoW have mied art (western style and eastern style) and creat something like Marvel vs Capcom. Something like your west general ala Captain America bolstering your soldiers vs your typical weeb fairy wizard.

I haven't gotten to play FoW in some time now.

How easy will it be to upgrade my old Scheherazade deck? Would that even be playable?

I just want cute generals and control decks, really. Why I got into the game in the first place.

>>44691243
The J side of Reflect is a little girl, and the card is about as controlling as it's actually possible for a ruler to get. Like holy shit the card should not have been printed.

It's hard to convince myself to get into a new card game after Vanguard tanked, but I will definitely see how much it costs to netlist this game, and show up at weekly tournaments. I feel like the art and flavor text is kind of stupid, but it looks like it is free from most of MTG's bullshit.

>>44697001
That's from a promo set.

> selling your modern pool
> Caring about standard

Why the fuck you care about standard if your pool is just modern? That doesnt makes sense.

As some anon posted, there will be always new players. People come and people go. BfZ is aa bad block? Probably yes, but the low asistance is because the decks are degenerate right now. Once fetch rotates and the access to all mana colours is no longer available, new players will come back to play again.

>>44697460

> listening the opinion of a nobody

Seriously, the double rotation wont do a dammn thing to the game.

>>44697540

I care because I used to play standard too, and when I came back to the game in innistrad, the decks were not that expensive as it is now.

> listening the opinion of a nobody

That guy that you call "nobody", gave me excellent analysis of many of MtG products. Thanks to his videos, I bought 4 boxes of the modern event deck, and now with the Inquisition of Kozilek spike, I will get my money back and get extra cash from it.

There's actually a reason most japanese games tack a pair of extra zeros on to everything. They don't use a dollar/cents system on their currency, everything is just yen, and 100 yen is roughly equivalent to a dollar, so their universal everyday number crunch is conducted in multiples of 100.

But yeah, they should take the time to simplify everything down to single digits to satisfy your autism, that's a good use of time and money.

The game got accepted by weebs wwho would sell their soul for their waifu and new mtg rednecks who couldnt afford standard anymore. I dont believe the creators had in mind to target those players in the west. It was pure luck westaboos and rednecks liked it.

>>44700577
FoW is popular here because of everyone who likes Magic. Or rather, everyone who liked Magic but hates what it has turned into.

I haven't tried the game myself, but I am fed up with MTG. It's not the same game I used to enjoy.

Much like how Wizards put their players faces on some cards (Snapcaster, etc) this is an actual player's likeness. It's a promo card for getting top 64. Lancelot has two other art versions, the male (from a duel deck) and the female (from regular boosters).

One of the guys in my playgroup was telling me that FoW mechanics/gameplay are designed by an American company but then all the art/etc is done by a JP company. He was joking around that we export it to Japan and re-import it. Does anyone know if he's talking out of his ass? I can't find any info about who designs the game.

So is arguing about the existence of 00s on a card on an anonymous imageboard. You're really really butthurt about this. That being said, "japs add 00 to everything because the yen" sounds like a load of bullshit.

tl;dr you're both tremendous faggots but you even more so.

We had a perfectly decent system in MtG at the time of the Vanguard release.

The grumbling of MtG players has finally resulted in people jumping ship at my store.

I see it with limited success. Currently the other anime card game Weiss Schwarz has 5 times the amount of people playing for it. Which boggles my mind because that's the game with RNG damage output.

>>44703435
Yeah the SR has the stockings removed.

Usually the SR adds some more embellishment to the card. In this case is removes it.

>>44703183
I thought it was because Wizards holds copyrights to having single digit numbers on cards from the 90's when they tried to copyright literally everything about MTG to prevent competition.

But there is a chilean TCG called Myths and Legends that uses single digit number for power and thoughness. not that this game is relevant for Wizards anyways

>>44661331

Even without how much FoW rips off magic, the art alone will prevent me from ever even considering playing it.

This game seems cool, how do I get into it? I've never seen it at my local card shop but then again I might just not have looked very hard

Are the rules simple enough that once I learn myself I could explain to someone else?

Also how competitive are beatdown decks? I was never good at playing a control style so in order to be any good at this do I have to force myself to adopt that style of play?

Also how easy is it to make your own deck build that strays away from the metagame? That I always found was the most fun part of casual tcgs was making shit that no one else had ever seen before cuz no one took it seriously and always wanted to throw away money on cards

English release never, but Wixoss is probably the best tcg I've ever played, in terms of rules and gameplay.

>>44671762
Gameplay is really its main selling point (and waifus), and it's actually very good. Some faggots (>>44678825) might look at the 5 colours thing, but even its execution of colour identities is pretty unique. SIGNI, the creatures of the game, don't have costs and decks can run as many off colour signi as they want, however, cards that die are sent to your ener (mana) zone, and you use them to pay costs for leveling up and spells, so too many off colour signi and it becomes difficult to get the right colours to reliably level up). Also, the game uses a two deck system incredibly well, the second deck contains your player avatar and its level ups, and a small selection of spells you always have access to.

Probably the biggest plus for me, though, is the priority system. Mtg, Yugioh, FoW, etc all have this clunky 'respond anytime' thing, which means you have to pause awkwardly after doing literally every game action. Cast a spell... resolves. Move to combat... these attack. Block with these... move to damage. Wixoss has 2 points you can play cards on your opponent's turn: in response to a spell (and most decks tend to have maybe 4 spells total), and at the start of combat. You still get a lot of interaction, but it vastly reduces the number of times you need to look up at your opponent and make sure they're not going to sneak in a spell in between what you're doing.

>>44678757
Don't get me started on how bad WS is. Especially the art, as a to of the time it's just taken from preexisting posters for the anime, or are just outright screenshots. And the gameplay is atrocious.

>>44708576

The game sounds interesting. Do you believe it could get more popular than force of will if it comes to lgs shelves?

Unfortunately, I doubt it. The art is 100% anime girls, and given the strong reactions here to FoWs art, which is very light on the weeb scale, that would keep a sizable chunk of people away. Also, it feels like one of the main draws to FoW is that it plays similarly to mtg, just with tweaks to a few of the less popular rules (lands especially). Wixoss is less easy to move into from another tcg, and the art would likely keep a large number of people from even trying.

It seems to be doing alright in japan, though, and as long as webxoss sticks around, I can at least play it there in a language I understand.

It makes me sad that every time I hop on Webxoss, no-one else is ever on.

Also, Piruluk is best LRIG. I will fight you on this.

After reading some post from here and considering personal experiences, the conclusion is:

> The barrier to play competitive standard is pretty huge right now. The newbies/play4fun rednecks just got into FoW because of the similar mechanics and because they couldnt afford T2 standard anymore plus they dont give a shit anymore or they are waiting till the new block shadows over Innistrad kick in, starting the first rotation in the year for magic (the second rotation is in october. (Yes anons, standard rotates twice a year now)

> The weeb pandering and the mtg players made the game popular in many places as I watched how my LGS is starting FoW tourneys on mondays and fridays (this annoys me a lil because the LGS never ran toruneys of different games in the same day, but when the clerk had to play the goddamn tourney in the last weeks to complete the FNM 8 players tourney, you know something is happening to MtG).

> The waifu material made weeabos play FoW. I guess i dont need to enter into details in this part.

>>44701207

Dunno if the creators had in mind to target that audience. Guess it just was luck and the incompetence of Wizards of the Coast that made the game popular.

Japanese card games always get the craziest foilings.

>tfw want to try playing Wixoss because it's literally cute original character waifus: the card game, but can't because my time is tied up playing MTG and Vanguard (and some WS on the side if I'm able to) already

I know there's a local shop nearby that has a handful of Wixoss players. I should try to join and learn the game one day.

The fact that it's only in Japanese isn't helping either. I can read it just fine, but it takes a slightly longer time to process everything.

No way man. A lot of decks are viable now. Have you been playing recently?

Also a bunch of old decks are now bonkers after 2015 Winter FC release last week. Genesis witch can now swing at first stride with +5k power to everyone, new Shaladin witch stride will make you eat damage like no tomorrow if you kept spending your counter blasts

>>44709528
Honestly, that's one of the things I think is was a mess-up. The numbers people can hit are way too big now. I don't like the whole "Hahahaha, I have a HUEG DAGRON with 50k POWAH" type game it's become. That may drag in all the little kiddies who want to be le epic and cool and blow stuff up with "awesome powerful" monsters, but since playing Wixoss, I'm never looking back. Wixoss is, hands down, THE best-designed card game I've played and I have played a lot.

Wixoss is a Japanese card game. I'm sure it's ladden with power creep as well. That's how you sell packs for card games with no rotating formats.

Doesn't Wixross have like, 11 booster sets now?

Also I think VG is fine as it is right now. I've been playing this shit since the very beginning, and it was a chore back then, when everything was almost vanilla and you barely get to do anything in many turns, other than just swinging at dudes. There are so many abilities these days, it's fun to use them in almost every turn.

>>44709735
It's more resilient to powercreep than most games, actually. While the tournament meta may be mostly the same 3 or 4 LRIGS, that's not because they're just better but because they're either the protagonist of the anime or the most moe, since that's what the Japanese eat up but in terms of viability, it's more akin to early English Vanguard in that pretty much any deck can beat any other deck, provided the decks aren't shit. Vanguard, however, got hit by powercreep like a fucking freight train as early as BT05.

Yeah? Early Vanguard was boring as fuck. Surely you remember how dull everything was during Limit Break era?

>>44709847
I remember how toxic DOTE was to the game. Wixoss is a vastly better balanced and frankly more fun game than Vanguard ever was for me. If you want to stick to Vanguard with rabid loyalty, that's your prerogative, dude. Learning Wixoss isn't hard or expensive, though, since Webxoss exists, so I'd recommend you give it a go. If you still want to stick with other card games after that, cool. I mean, sunk cost and all that, right?

I don't mind learning a new game. Especially when there are active players near me. In fact, I should try it out.

What's the most meta deck the game has to offer? How much does said deck cost?

>>44709982
Calling a meta deck is hard, because even single LRIGs have a variety of builds to them and they all play differently. Gun to my head, though, I'd probably say Tama is the most meta LRIG. Not sure which Tama build, though. Just do a bit of research and see what you like the look of.

As for prices for physical cards, can't help you there, buddy. I only play card games online these days because fuck paying for 7 different games on the go.

I would say you can assemble a tournament viable deck for under $50. Sashe was the most recent big tournament winner, and a lot of her best cards come in her starter deck. Interestingly, the most expensive cards tend to be level 0 LRIGs, the only card you are officially allowed to proxy for tournaments.

IIRC TamaMayu is the most meta right now
The meta is usually Tama followed by something else.
I think Midoriko is the next one to get strong

The only expensive cards are meta promotional cards because they are hard to get.

>>44712075

>>44712075
If Midoriko decks are your thing, why post up a Level 4 LRIG? 3-stop decks are generally much stronger.

>>44712522
I never played Midoriko but I think the new Level 4 is strong
>[Action] Exceed 2: Until end of turn, all of your SIGNI get <Lancer>.

>>44712611
Yeah, I think that too, but in my opinion it's atill more suited to being used in 3-stop decks when you want to go for the kill in the final turn. I could be wrong, however, as I haven't really played much Mido outside of 3-stop, just like Yuzuki

>>44661331
I got some FoW product shipped to me today. First thing I noticed is that they really need to work on their packaging, and I don't just mean that the box art looks like an eroge.

For the record, I got 2 Vingolf sets. In both sets, cards broke free of the flimsy plastic strip holding them in place. None seemed to be damaged, but they were all over the box. Secondly, the cardboard support at the bottom of the box is really poor. It might be more expensive, but I've seen Magic and YGO use plastic and it looks less shoddy; it was already starting to bend and warp before I even took the cards out. Going back to the art, I don't mind the weeb art on the cards at all. I do mind it on the box. I'll probably just get a separate longbox for them, as I used to do for MTG.

The card backings are 10/10 design, though.

>>44680621
I said the most expensive cards were those prices, which they are. I'm saying that's really cheap when compared to a lot of magic cards.

Weiß Schwartz is cancer in card game form. I could maybe potentially forgive it if it didn't play like an autistic trainwreck.

>>44717957

Because it isn't made by Bushiroad?

>>44719363

>>44708828

Yugioh is the best selling card game for years and it's 100% weeb in art.

I'm sure Wixoss would get players in the west. The thing is people who made it probably don't care.

>>44719490
The people who made it are Takara Tomy. They wouldn't localise for the West even if people literally threw millions of bucks at them but then that's what Webxoss is for.
