You are going to end up with a ton of cards you don't want to play with in EVERY Collectible Card Game! It's called chaff! Unless you buy a complete set or each single card, you will end up with garbage cards you don't need! You can't get around it! I'm glad you found a game you like, but if it's a CCG, or TCG, then random cards in a booster is random cards!

There are so many surprises in store for the pack ripping experience, too. It’s going to be very exciting!

Are you sponsored by wonders of the first yet?

Final Fantasy TCG solves every single problem of the modern TCG/CCG. Every card is usable in a booster. Every card since release (barring 8. Or so banned cards) are usable in any tournament any format including standard. No filler cards in boosters. Insanely high card quality. Well priced. Etc. etc. Take a look. I only started playing like 2 months ago… it’s the best TCG ever made in every way (including solving gameplay issues in other games) nobody knows exists.

I want a set of these too! Its going to be so much fun to trade and build this set.

It's the Lego Approach. I'm pretty excited about the Final Fantasy Expansion. I think what saddens me the most about the game is the fact that it's pretty hard to adjust schedules, interests, and a group of people who like to play the game. I'm not competitive, I just want a casual afternoon match. I'd love everything could retain its magic for everyone

It makes me so happy seeing you use the stones to mark what round it is and not starting with them all in play to start the game!

What game is this? I'm not sure I heard correctly.

Could you give a demonstration video like you both playing together with an umpire. I kinda frustrated to analyze the rules such as: who will play first, how they ended their turn, which card should be on the sage’s board, etc. with a live gameplay I think it’s gonna be easier to get that. Anyway thanks for the great works

My favorite competitive card game is Yugioh brcause you have access to almost every card in your deck. My favorite card game to play casually is Magic because it has the best flavor and supports multi-player. The point value system instead of bans is an interesting idea. Thanks for sharing

Luckily all my old cards still play the same! I started playing in 2007 and the significant powercreep from when I started came to my attention in 2016. Since then, I haven't purchased a card printed after 2016. I've been spending my money allocated for Magic on older cards to complete sets that were before I had started. I can have fun and vote with my wallet simultaneously

I think it's understood from a gameplay perspective that, if you're going to have a resource system like this, and if you're going to print that resource system onto cards that go into your deck, that you're introducing a lot of bricks that need to be managed either with escape clauses or high card velocity. I suspect for anyone other than new players, this will quickly feel like a neccesary piece of resource management and not a cool opportunity for expression. But that's not what this video is about, it's about pack opening. I come from yugioh, so maybe there's a cultural difference, but I'm not buying packs just because you put cool cards in there. That's something you do when you're young and stupid and don't know about the singles market. We have very little filler in our packs and it still doesn't change a thing, I don't want to buy loot boxes and I don't recommend it to anyone. MTG sells packs by offering draft and limited formats; Pokémon sells packs by offering online packs - real, substantial secondary games you get to play for paying the sealed product premium.

You know what these cards need to set itself apart from magic, busty women card art boom! That’s a million dollar idea I’ve just given you

To me those lands sounds exactly like non basic lands from mtg. They can have varying level of rarity and desirability but some of them are some of the most sought after cards (fetchlands for example). Comparing them to the basic land that is guaranteed to be present in every booster doesn't really make sense. You make it sound like they invented the concept of rarity.

One of my favorite card names in the set 😅

Okay... but at least two of those lands also exist pretty wholly preserved in mtg. Like this looks like a cool game, but gotta be honest, those 1st and 3rd just look like Homeward path and Bucolic Ranch/Scrying Sheets/The Biblioplex. Again, seems cool, but I feel like this feature can't put it ahead of other games when some other games already have them.

looks like AI why would anyone want to collect that?

So they're utility lands, with more convoluted theming and worse art?

This game is going to be the most impressive card game to date. I love how it basically takes everything we have come to know over the years in CCG's and made ways to improve on them.

Absolutely

I really enjoyed your tutorial & play through. It helped a lot for me. Thanks 🙋‍♂️

Another great video sir! I absolutely can't wait to get my proofs in hand!

I’m adding, “play a game of Wonders with Be A Hero” to my bucket list

all this for an ad for another game just skip 😅 unless ur looking for a new game then ur golden ❤

it's fromage, not formage, dude, please

Wait… this spurious, circular argument isn’t even seriously about Magic? This is just your Shark Tank spiel for some ostensible card game that’s not even in production yet? That weighted allowance system of yours isn’t even as daring and innovative as you seem to imagine. Android: Netrunner had their “NAPD Most Wanted List”, for one. Guess what happened? Wizards could still introduce a restriction system just like this tomorrow, if they were stupid enough to try. It’s a logistical quagmire, with too many granular, entangled decisions to continually fiddle with. This is a perfect Dunning-Kruger solution. The only feature that’s going to guarantee your promise to never ban cards is insufficient interest. Way to make a first impression. If this were your elevator pitch, I would throw you down the empty shaft for being so disingenuous. Never try to bury your agenda like this again.

The same reason there are so many desktop Linux distros, diet plans, or Protestant denominations: They all suck.

Here is a rule i want clarification it says in the 2.0 rulebook in page 7 of it in (IX) create your 25 card combat and diplomacy pool, take the 15 advanced combat and diplomacy cards but in the cards nowhere it clarifies which are the basic combat and who the advanced any clue how to distinct it?

There isn't. There's Commander and realistically that's it and that's how it's been for years at this point 🤷

After seeing Wonders of the first at kick I stated getting into magic too. Mostly because I found the story (except for one part) realty interesting mostly the phyrexians. Finding out they they basically took them out of the storyline really bummed me out. Got a Valhiem box to try and get I think Voriclex ended up finding him was super excited even at 29yo. Then the marval and spongbob set got announced and I was like wha what? WHY!

Dude. Lol. What the hell. I had to turn it off after 5 minutes.

Other than that hoard dragon card they all sound reasonable. Thanks for keeping up with this game.

I like warhammer too, but it doesn’t belong in magic. It’s hypocritical to be fine with universes beyond just because an IP you like is featured. If I wanted warhammer, I’d go paint miniatures, read books, play warhammer. I’m here to play magic and immerse myself in its fantasy worlds.

We have enough cards that say "Whenever". "Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell..." "Whenever a creature enters the battlefield..." "Whenever an untapped non-token artifact creature of power 2 or less that your opponent controls and entered the battlefield this turn.."

I'll block with my crabby patty.

Whole lot of tap symbols for Unlimited.

I miss the Mystique and overall flavor of older magic. Some where we went from our own fantasy world, to a free for all of what's popular ATM. ...when will they have a pornhub set? I'm ready for my Milf Tribal deck lol

Holy shit, this is the dumbest fucking video.

Dimensional piercer was close to getting a nerd after Kanevil ran wild with it

Flesh and Blood is the game for you!

no Instill energy in that green deck?

Lol is the game too hard fo you grandpa? Skibidix. Lol jk I'm the same age as you but you seem kinda hypocritical saying "I like warhammer and Lotr so its ok for it to be in Magic" and in the same sentence " I don't like Doctor Who and Fallout so this is the worst thing that ever happened to Magic ever."

You should try out Old-school 93/94 format if you haven't already. That format primarily plays magic the way it has since 93/94. Timmy the Sorcerer on TH-cam is a great source of knowledge if you are interested in seeing old school games played out. Many people that play old-school 93/94 play over long distances with camera set up since there really isn't that many players locally. There are also tournaments held in the Netherlands, Canada, Sweden, and Italy in pubs. It is a friendly casual format. There is also Premodern format that only uses cards from 4th edition to Scourge. The website is called premodernmagic, the community of old timers like us can still enjoy classic magic. I started playing magic during the Ice Age as a child. The cards look so cool. Hand painted works of art, not like the modern digital crap. Sooner or later WotC will forego human digital art in favor of the cheaper AI junk. I do miss the older blocks, where throughout a whole year, you got to be immersed into a plane of magic through story telling, and you got to be part of that plane and get a good feel of the cards for the year. It felt special, nowadays each set/expansion feels empty and devoid of all of that. Now they only travel to planes that will make them the most money, money drives WotC. Sure it did in the past but at least the people in charge actually cared and played alongside us players. Magic the Gathering that we both experienced is dead. I walk into a card shop and all I see is commander this and commander that, people in 4 player pods playing a game that isn't magic. Hell just last month I had to walk away from a table because they lack the fundamentals of the game, but they argue that its casual bruh and if you don't like go away. Yeah... house rules. I understand that in the past there were house rules in the past such as skip phases, or forget to untap, or playing a card before tapping any mana sources, but those were forgivable actions that later became part of the magic rules. Now we got younger generations making up there own way to play the game, and each and every table has there own politics and house rules. I hate it, and that's why I stick to playing with people that play the rules from the comprehensive rules. I apologize for this essay. Originally I only planned to write about Old-school 93/94 and Premodern, however I feel that my grief about the game I love has became a division, an isolation, but your video helped me because you also feel some of the grief I experience. Good for you on playing other games. I know if have stopped buying newer magic products 3 years ago, simply got tired of it all. Take care, and have a good time. Thank you for the video.

Dude I'm loving that old school mono green deck!. If you want to still play magic in its purest form you should check out the old school 93/94 format is amazing. I've been playing it for a few years now and I love it, especially for the nostalgia. Loved the video and I definitely agree with you.

life changes and you have to adapt the numbers show this is what the new players want and if the kids are happy then im ok with it.

Hopefully, it will be good enough to keep the game alive for another decade. Hasbro is a greedy machine, and they own your favorite game now. There's nothing to do about that, I'm afraid.

Magic the Gathering is now 50% Universes Beyond 50% Commander and 100% no longer Magic the Gathering.

Just curious, how does this video fall into your “be a hero” slogan or branding? Was it the little speech at the end about how games/people don’t define you?

The way Pokémon is keeping it self relevant is by 1) being a collectible first and card game second and 2) powercreep in a way Magic players luckily haven't experienced. Basically all "creatures" have their base power/toughness doubled (of not more) now compared to their "alpha" version. But I hear you, I also remember Magic being simpler back then when I got into the game. But I also think that was because I was more into those kind of cards. When I'm looking back now to the older sets (Antiquities, Fallen Empires and Ice Age for example) there's sooo much text -and often not very intuitive ones either. ;) That said, Universes Beyond is a mess for sure. :)

I miss old magic. It's just not the same, there isn't enough attention to the stories and the lore. The IP has become diluted, the cards just keep coming and there isn't consideration for peoples collection since a new horizons set comes out every 2 years that just completely invalidates decks. Not to mention the product fatigue and predatory pricing. I've been playing Flesh and Blood for the last year and it's been great. I've finally come to the point where I'm willing to sell most of my mtg collection Fab scratches that TCG itch, there is less variance in the games, there is enough time in between sets to let metas settle, and the creators give a damn about their playerbase.
