Problem with that is, since you have to announce which deck your drawing from, if you’re paying attention and are good at ‘find the lady’ you could already follow which cards in your opponents hand are which. It’s kinda like on magic arena once a card in hand has been revealed it stays that way in the UI whereas in paper magic players take notes of what was in their opponents hand.

@@Nerdbait39 Counterpoint, just shuffle your hand constantly. That's what we do in Yu-Gi-Oh. Sure you can be "good at 'find the lady'", but if both players are constantly shuffling their hands and trying to play the game at the same time keeping track of which cards are where in your opponents hand become more of a detriment than benefit when you could be spending that mental energy on paying attention to the actual game. There is no benefit to making it easier for your opponents to track the cards your hand just because they *might* be psychotically good at doing it without you making them obviously different to each other.

@@TekoMythmaster the problem is that you don't have to track where the cards are in your opponents hand, just how many cards they drew from their decks. That's an easy task for anyone who's played these kinds of games enough. Keeping them in separate sleeves would help make clean up smoother and possibly prevent cheaters from deliberately putting cards in the wrong pile because what cards are what is marked with their sleeve.

@@deathseraph3 Knowing how many of each kind of card are in your opponents hand doesn't really matter for a random discard effect, it only tells you the odds of the random card being discarded being one of those two types. Technically useful I guess, but it doesn't actually let either player bias those odds. If each type of card is clearly marked as being that type of card regardless of which side of the card you can see, then you can never be certain that the randomly chosen card was actually randomly chosen. If, for example, you or your opponent specifically want the Spirit card you just drew to be discarded, and it's the only spirit card in your hand, all either player has to do is look at the sleeve and just pick that one. Having each deck in separate sleeves makes any blind randomness involving the cards in your hand literally impossible to execute fairly. It's just asking to start fights. You could technically use dice to determine the random outcome, but that method starts to fall apart quickly if the number of cards in the hand isn't exactly 6. Yes, as Kohdok mentions in the video, separate sleeves would make post-game cleanup faster and easier, but it also straight up bans the games developers from ever adding any kind of random selection of cards in the hand to a card effect in the game, cutting off a huge number of potential mechanics and deck gimmicks entirely. Also I'm not really sure how intentionally mixing cards from one deck into the other would actually help if you tried cheating that way. In a constructed card game the goal when building a deck is to minimize randomness as much as possible, why would you want to make it harder to draw a specific card by mixing it in with the other type when the game literally lets you pick which card type you're drawing each turn? It's all limit one anyways, putting your one copy of a card in the wrong deck just makes it harder to draw, and if you're putting enough cards in the wrong deck to make the odds of drawing the one card you want from the correct deck significantly better it's going to be super obvious when the deck limit is 10-20 cards.

@@TekoMythmaster I won't lie, I didn't read the part in OPs message about random discards so that one is on me. However random discard is still doable with distinct sleeves for each deck, it just needs a d6 and establishing a few details before rolling. It falls apart to me when the number is 7 or higher as there's a number of simple ways to do 6 and lower. Personally though, I don't know why anyone would want random discards. It just doesn't sound like any fun to me. Also, the limit is 1 for your spirits, but not for the signs. As Kohdok showed there was even a limit 4 card there. Now I don't have any of these cards or know the rules indepth, but I can imagine there are still ways of messing with the composition of each deck before playing. Either way I'd need to play the game myself or read up on the rules to give a more informed opinion. Edit: after having checked the rules, yeah no it's a non-issue if people try putting cards in the wrong deck. Sorry about that.

on the other hand, every copy after the first is useless, so getting unusable extra copies, particularly of the more common cards, seems likely.

@@dragohammer6937 I presume its to encourage trading, or at least that will be the excuse given. Hopefully they have good variety & properly randomize their booster packs (unlike Beast Clans). Personally I like it when commons can have multiple copies in a deck, but rares can only have one.

From what I recall, the basics were that it was like War in the sense that each player played a monster face down and then flipped them up at the same time with the higher stats winning. Though in that game it was attack going after defense. You gained points equal to the level of the destroyed opposing monster so naturally better monsters had higher levels. You also had spells that acted like trap cards that you could flip up after the monsters were flipped (or keep down for future battles) to alter shenanigans. Interestingly, there were character cards in that they could be used instead of monsters but lacked stats. Instead they won battles via alternative means but still had a level so if they failed to win, the opponent would get those points. Like, Kaiba auto won against any monster (but lost to any character), Serenity auto won against any high level monster (while being a much lower level than Kaiba), Joey auto won against a character, and Tristan always lost but didn’t have a level so it was a good way to just waste opponent’s cards in a game. Only one copy of each character was allowed though. The game was over when any player didn’t have any cards left in deck so the player with the most points in the end won. Types mattered as Dragon Capture Jar was a really weak monster but auto won against any dragon so it could even beat the mythical Blue Eyes. Also Yami Yugi was the most broken card. While it had an absurdly high level, it auto won literally any battle. There was no point in not using it as your opponent didn’t gain points when you won a battle so the high level didn’t matter. Tea was also amazing as she swapped with any monster in the grave after flip. The game failed because Bandai just wanted a fad game and well, it was only just a fad. They didn’t care so eventually the fans didn’t either. The rules were an unclear mess (did Joey or Yami win in a battle?) and soon enough Konami announced they were making their own game based on the franchise so people just dropped this one. While Konami thought their game was gonna be a fad too the main difference was that they wanted it to last as long as possible and well, here we are today over 20 years later.

We had a zoom chat, and that came up. They promised me NO NFTs.

@@Kohdok Seeing as 95% of NFTs are worth less than the dirt beneath your feet, any cardgame that has them might as well have speedran the 2 year curse

It's two decks. The "Spirit" Deck, and the "Signals and Signs" deck. I can see how that might be a bit confusing.

Oh, I see. Two decks is a nice number .

Go on Instagram there are plenty of people shilling these sorts of things

@@ozmond Ahh, lacking an Instagram account. I assume there's accounts that advertise new Kickstarters as they go live etc?

Pretty sure Kickstarter lets you opt into a newsletter for specific categories so they can tell you about projects of interest in those categories. At the very least, I know that whenever I get an update on a project I'm already backing, there's info on like... a dozen other projects directly beneath it that are in the same category.

@@NerdySatyr yeah just tons of wanna be “influencers” hoping to get in early on the next big game or trend. They get sent sample cards and things and post all about them. Since MetaZoo there have been so many garbage TCG start ups it’s insane. You’ve got d spirits, Akora, cannibeasts, nostalgix, dreambook, and many more.

Spirits are 1-ofs, Signs list their limits on the card.

@@Kohdok oh, like that other game that cannot be named. Since now I am thinking of this, will you ever make an errata text about how deck size and playset limit influence the design and ease of collecting cards for a game? That may be too narrow of a concept for your channel though, I really enjoy seeing you take math into consideration in your videos but I'm also a physicist, so...

The original Kuriboh suffices here (though discards from hand and not banish itself) as it makes the damage you take become zero.

I have railed against the gentrification of card games plenty of times already.

along with sensible PSCT

My contact info is on Twitter.

@@Kohdok Great! Can’t wait to get you ready to play 🎉 For who plays becomes the game 🎴🎴🎴

​@@Kohdok We got a notification that something for you has arrived at the PO BOX🎉 YAY!

The game rn can be reduced to "did you open the out? if not you lose". If you open called by or crossout you simply win most of the time.

I think Kohdok means that in Yugioh, if your oponent has full combo and you dont have the handtraps to do someting... well your oponent go full board and then even if you "drew the out" kinda can't do anything

@@nicolasvillalobos4028 and hand traps have outs too. I could even drop an appalousa before nibiru could come down in a couple of decks. And splights will make it worse lol It's almost two games of solitaire. Edison format is much more fun and interactive

No way it's taking off. The art style is just Chinese bootleg Pokémon, and its name is taken straight from Digimon.

Trust me, the subject came up during our Zoom chat, and they said NO NFTS.

I sincerely hope not. Between NFT's crashing and this game (seemingly) designed for kids, implementing NFT's would be disastrous.

@@evilsheepmaster1744 Now you have me wondering if the Chaotic revival got stalled by trying to figure out how to work NFTs into the mix... The game's central conceit was basically tailor made for that crap.

i dont think this was made in japan

That’s why I included web comic

@@trickyplays240 i guess they could get some manga artist to do it. i dont see this really doing much tho

Did you ever play the game?

@@BlueBeetle1939 of course not lol
