MTG vs Yu-Gi-Oh

>>52980117
When a monster attacks a face-down monster, the difference between attack and defense is inflicted as lifepoint damage. Also, certain monsters have a trample effect where they can inflict lifepoint damage when they attack a defense-position monster.

When I played that only happened with a small number of cards. Effect monsters whose gimmick was they did that.

Are you saying they changed it to just a normal rule of the game now?

>>52980154
That's just shit he be spewing lad. It's not real.

And it'd actually be pretty bad because it'd take away one of the few of protecting your lifepoints if you're on the receiving end of a shit stomp.

Anyway if we're going to have a MTG vs Yugioh thread why not actually try to figure out a way to have a the two games actually play against each other?

Actually he's not. If you have a 2000 DEF creature and they attack you with a 1000 ATK creature they will take 1000 Damage.

But some creatures have "Piercing" which allows them do deal life point damage even through defense. So if you have a 2000 DeEF creature and I have a 2500 ATK creature with "Piercing" you take 500 damage.

Ah. First time i read it made it sound like everything had trample when against a face down monster, but some creatures could trample through a monster even when in face-up defense position.
My apologies for the misread.

No big deal, his wording was poor, even I had to read it over twice to get what he meant, and what he said wasn't 100% accurate.

I just wanted to make sure the right info was out there.

>>52980432
Why did you cover that guy's retarded ass? That's obviously not what he meant, he was just trying to shitpost.

>>52980117
Don't make a thread for this shit, just google the game rules. If you can't do that you have bigger problems.

No, but they made cards without defence?

>modern YGO
>caring about defense

the DEF stat means nothing now considering people don't even play monsters face-down anymore and any monsters that get put in face-up Defense are xyz summons that are only used for effect farming
>inb4 some shit tier ghostrick build tells me I'm wrong

Problem is that it NEVER meant anything. It's one of a monster's core characteristics and it's less important than the art.

Defense mode is actually worse for defense than attack mode because the attack stat is almost always higher and you are going to lose more lifepoints from losing the board than you are from being chipped.

It's important to note that yugioh was never designed to be a card game, it was designed for a single volume of a board game manga. There is no design purpose at all to the game's mechanics and they are only present because of how the game started out.

If only there were anime styled card games that have never banned cards, stay on the same power level for years at a time, and have over twenty continuously supported archetypes. Unfortunately, no such games exist.

Do I even want to know?
