FYI this is actually a physical card game that came out 2 years ago. It's actually very fun but this video game version of it seems a bit unintuitive and clunky.
I hate the drag your card up and it snaps back. But then does the animation to hit the other side again. They should replace that with arrows and the card getting into a different visual position when attacking.
I think you'd like Keyforge (another game Richard Garfield made that is still being supported semi regularly) if you like the lack of meta. In the game you buy a deck like youd buy a pack, and once you have it thats simply it, no edits, no building from scratch
I've played a little playtest tournament of this game irl earlier this year. I won a promo card and a playmat by being second. :D It's kinda cool but seemed to be solved relatively quickly. After playing like 5 best-of-3 with the same deck you really knew the outliers and powerhouses and basically won if you got more than your opponent. But it was an early set and I don't know how other sets perform.
What should a solved meta even look like in a game like this? You try to build imbalances in your favour regarding your hand. Getting a feeling when to mind bug and when not to mind bug in the early game is the main skill difference
Hey can I just say it's great to see you play other games besides Hearthstone. Honestly seeing you react to learning new games is one of my favourite things on this channel. And yeah this game is pretty cool. I played the demo a few months back and had a good time. Also you should give Artefact foundry a try. It's the semi sequel/reboot to artefact.
Can there exist even one game in any genre that pushes the complexity forward? It is currently a one-way race to the bottom with existing games making every attempt to simplify themselves and every new game that comes out is simpler than the one that came before it. This really reminds me of Fantasy Strike in a weird way. I just want to play a new online card game with lots of instant speed interaction and a multitude of deckbuilding considerations.
many players of Magic the gathering don't know about the gratest truths of TCGs. For example : the perfect TCG format is Marvel DC VS System 2004 . there were in th team ex-MTG employees that created the best system : any card can be in the ressource (lands), any card. AND you draw 2 cards per turn. PERIOD. Draw 1 card per turn is the cancer of ALL TCGs who follow this HORRIBLE BAD IDEA mtg had. 2 cards drawn per turn SOLVES EVERYTHING !!!!
aha losing to the sneaky in the first game, we all wen thru that :P Glad you tried this awesome game. Turns out its even perfect to play with non tcg playing friends with the physical release :)
I liked the first 2 minutes without tutorial I just want a game now that has a tutorial that teaches you the bare minimum and then throws you into a simple game to figure it out lol Maybe add a thing that explains more if it takes a while for the player to make a move
This game is weirdly addicting. There's so many different strategies depending on what you draw, despite the small card pool. I keep playing over and over again. It's like the early days of Marvel Snap all kver again
Marvel what???? MARVEL VS SYSTEM and DC VS SYSTEM, that beats anything else with the Marvel name in it or any TCG the perfect TCG format is Marvel DC VS System 2004 . there were in th team ex-MTG employees that created the best system : any card can be in the ressource (lands), any card. AND you draw 2 cards per turn. PERIOD. Draw 1 card per turn is the cancer of ALL TCGs who follow this HORRIBLE BAD IDEA mtg had. 2 cards drawn per turn SOLVES EVERYTHING !!!!
0:01 if i had a dollar for everytime i ve heard the creator of magic making a new card game i ll have enough money to buy whatever new mtg products is coming out.
Richard Garfield keeps getting involved in failure games lol. He was also involved in Storybook Brawl, which was a HS Battlegrounds clone with similarly bad art, and was bankrolled by FTX so it got closed down after the Sam Bankman Fried debacle.
I dont think this is a "failure game" at all. It was a physical game that had an expansion just last year, got tons of prizes for its design and now has a free to play app. It has a decent success and more than 3 years of support, it doesnt have to be a smash hit to not be a failure.
I played the physical game a couple of times and while i still dont like the art and theming, the mindgames are very interesting. It really fits more an app to play occasionally than a dedicated boardgame(that is fairly expensive where i live)
To my knowledge Artefact was his 3rd most recent card game he released. He also released keyforged in 2018 same year but after artefact a phenomenal card game crap product and poor longevity. And mind bug in 2021 so it’s not new. The digital platform is but it’s been a card game for a while
Rarran skips the tutorial then blames the creator. LOL It's the same ADHD energy as every game when Arin from Game Grumps skips the tutorial then gets mad he doesn't know what's happening. 😂

Ironically it makes jt more tactical as it means you can always react to the opponent. I don’t miss combo decks that play the waiting to draw the right cards.
You don't deckbuild, so if you only care about deck building and not about in game decisions, its not your game. The decision space is pretty big, most likely larger than most big ccg games you play online
I've seen this game before, but I must say the aesthetic and theme completely put me off of it. I knew it was by the mtg creator but idk it might just not be for me
i see why the game is fun, but i can also see that after a couple days of playing its all the same all the time and it feels stale very quickly, even if decks were to rotate ever 2-3 days.
Rarran, from someone who saw you multiple times thanking people for watching your variety content, here's a feedback from someone that watches them all: stop being so dismissive on the start of your videos for new games, you are not that smart to be cussing on richard garfield, lol. If you start your gameplay implying it will be bad, people will instantly foster negativity towards it; people who like the game will be negative towards you, and people who don't know the game will expect nothing from it besides pointing its flaws. It is a lose/lose situation, unless your intention is cultivating a rage bait community, you should change how you make these videos.
Speaking as a long time mtg player, Richard Garfield is incredibly hit or miss. Early magic that Garfield was involved in was a hot mess and horrifically imbalanced. The same goes for most of the games he's built. The man is a Legacy, and he has great talent and passion for his craft, but he is not, nor ever was perfect.
"Looks like AI" is rapidly becoming the shallowest, most useless type of criticism. Stop overusing it for "I don't like this". All you're doing is making it harder to call out actual AI slop farms.
Ill be up front... This does not look great and seems pretty unintuitive. Unless you like the art, its nothing i would play over Arena, Hearthstone or The Bazaar
In what universe is it unintuitive? Attack or play a card. You can yoink 2 cards per game. That's it. There's no mana, power or toughness distinction, and specific card types. I wouldn't play this because I prefer having interaction during other people's turns, but it's objectively simpler/more intuitive than MTG or hearthstone.
Marvels Rivals, POE 2, the other 1000 card games or this.... tbh i'd download artifact before this. Looks like a uni game dev project and probably had a similar budget.
@@CassianoAlanCanossa Time exists, It's a difficult concept to be sure. If people are doing something they are not doing something else. Unless you are one of the sad people that are entirely one dimensional and put their identity into card games. :P Tbh this competes with literally nothing and will be dead in a week.
@@ryvan3870 Its fine to not understand how the market works, you should stop being so opinionated about things you clearly lack knowledge. You could simply check that the game has launched mid November, so it didn't exactly compete with PoE and Marvel either, but that is TOO HARD for someone who values time as yourself, right? The one week dead is from right now or in the past, after november 14th? It has 3 tourneys organized just for December(one even is not online), maybe you should tell them that the game will be dead and its useless! The uni dimensional as an offense was hilarious, btw.
@@CassianoAlanCanossa My guy what market are you referring to... the game has 180 player peak and 27 playing right now. If it has a tournament hopefully all 50 players can show up that day. The game is already dead by any metric. To put into perspective Artifact has 1500 players online... I think you might be the one lacking knowledge because I fully predicted the games success within 5 min. Are you a dev on this game? You sound invested lol better luck next time.
@@ryvan3870 Thats the part you do not understand... the game does not need thousands of concurrent players. It is a party game. I like how you moved your justifications -> "it competes with poe and marvel" -> "it will be dead in a week" -> "it is already dead and you are coping because you are a dev!". Amusing, really. It must be hard to be born with your brain. At least you can agree that you were completely wrong on the PoE and Marvel thing, right? Then i can explain to you why the game "failed", because you clearly can't understand it by yourself, if you are interested.
>be the tutorial character.
>explain how the first player is decided.
>“that’s all you need to know.”
>refuses to elaborate further.

Actually the best tutorial of all time.
😅
In all honesty, that IS all you need to know.
If players won't listen to the tutorial, the tutorial won't listen to players!
Rarran is literally that guy in the mobile game ads who spills the lava on the hero
Finally, a game where I can make a Mind Goblin deck.
What's a mind goblin?
@@stalwartstrategist9630 oh...you poor fool...
@stalwartstrategist9630 Just a goblin with a big brain. :)
@@smokelingers that was disappointing, i feel like i got edged, even if they knew what was going to happen
@da_chimnken I promise to do better when they release a game where I can make a Dickson Cider deck.
Even when a creatures name is a portmanteau of two existing words, Rarran still butchers the pronunciation
he established that in the Bazaar when he kept saying Clamera wrong
ClaMEra
An EL-e-phant Y plus OC-to-pus? Let's call it...EL-e-phan-TO-PUS!
Played the paper version of this game a ton with my friends, didn't even know online version existed
Oooh, thought it felt like a physical game!
FYI this is actually a physical card game that came out 2 years ago. It's actually very fun but this video game version of it seems a bit unintuitive and clunky.

The thumbnail made me hope CGB made this game, my disappointment is immesurable
And my day is ruined
Lol
Keyforge enters chat and is quite angry
Yep. The actual best card game
I think you'd like Keyforge (another game Richard Garfield made that is still being supported semi regularly) if you like the lack of meta. In the game you buy a deck like youd buy a pack, and once you have it thats simply it, no edits, no building from scratch
Only people selling 500 dollar decks on ebay
is it good only in developed countrys where 10 buks is not much....but for the rest of the world...its not good at all (regarding, distribution)
Really cool, hope to see you play more of this
I've played a little playtest tournament of this game irl earlier this year. I won a promo card and a playmat by being second. :D It's kinda cool but seemed to be solved relatively quickly. After playing like 5 best-of-3 with the same deck you really knew the outliers and powerhouses and basically won if you got more than your opponent. But it was an early set and I don't know how other sets perform.
I think the idea here is that you have a solve meta. But they keep changing it every weeks so people don't get bored.
The game itself doesn’t have a personal deck, so in this app I don’t think you can have a solved meta
What should a solved meta even look like in a game like this? You try to build imbalances in your favour regarding your hand. Getting a feeling when to mind bug and when not to mind bug in the early game is the main skill difference
I love that the thumbnail implies that CGB made this game, and by extension, magic the gathering
Rarran continues his unbroken streak of not knowing what the phrase "as far as I am concerned" means.
They better have Mind Goblin in their lineup

"brand new" as in "exists as a physical cardgame since October 2021"
many players of Magic the gathering don't know about the gratest truths of TCGs. For example :

I didn't know Jace Beleren makes games, that's cool.
It's kinda like Gwint in Witcher 3 where you played that game of hand attrition.
aha losing to the sneaky in the first game, we all wen thru that :P Glad you tried this awesome game. Turns out its even perfect to play with non tcg playing friends with the physical release :)
Surprisingly a great game, I wish the animations were faster but that's about it
He also made a card battler, something about storybooks but the name escapes me now.
"Oh my god that's free" he says, completing the first tutorial.
More mindbug content please! Amazing game, been playing in paper for like 2 years
It's had a physical copy for two years? 💀💀
actually looks like an interesting game, and the art is sublime
Richard Garfield, a guy making new games for last 30 years: exists
People who only played Mtg, thinking he only made that: also exist
this game is INSANE. Got everything on papeer, it's so good
I liked the first 2 minutes without tutorial
I just want a game now that has a tutorial that teaches you the bare minimum and then throws you into a simple game to figure it out lol
Maybe add a thing that explains more if it takes a while for the player to make a move
This game is weirdly addicting. There's so many different strategies depending on what you draw, despite the small card pool. I keep playing over and over again. It's like the early days of Marvel Snap all kver again

Oh, THATS where STorybook brawl went?!
Storybook brawl had some redeeming qualities though, tbf.
Artifact
Edit: ok, it was the first thing mentioned in the video
He also developed KeyForge which is still ongoing.

Looked fun! Curious to see if you ever come back to this game or if Bazaar keeps your heart
For April Fools, you should ask Cimo and CGB about these cards!
I played the physical game a couple of times and while i still dont like the art and theming, the mindgames are very interesting. It really fits more an app to play occasionally than a dedicated boardgame(that is fairly expensive where i live)
Dang, this looks really cool. I need to buy the physical set to play with the wife.
Eating glass sounds more fun than playing this game
Incorrect: richard garfield has made many a board game since Artifact
you mean ANOTHER card game. He's made 11 paper tcgs including keyforge
Any sealed expansion vids coming soon?
To my knowledge Artefact was his 3rd most recent card game he released. He also released keyforged in 2018 same year but after artefact a phenomenal card game crap product and poor longevity. And mind bug in 2021 so it’s not new. The digital platform is but it’s been a card game for a while
This one's a simple paper card game. It won't have that much replay value, pretty limited content. But good fun!
Rarran skips the tutorial then blames the creator. LOL It's the same ADHD energy as every game when Arin from Game Grumps skips the tutorial then gets mad he doesn't know what's happening. 😂
artifact 2.0 : mirror match simulator!
19:00
Probably didn't Mindbug you because the goblin didn't have its +6 nor did the Yeti have its +5 rendering the Brain Fly useless.
Actually fun; but with play to compete hard to justify continuing.
This guy has made so many card games at this point and they're all good (even if MTG has gone downhill). I still play spectromancer sometimes.

This game is just soooo genius
The play one card, attack once makes it seem like the design ceiling is incredibly low. I don't see this catching on.
It seems like it's meant to be played more like a party board game than a CCG, something to pull out at parties rather than play at tournaments.
Ironically it makes jt more tactical as it means you can always react to the opponent. I don’t miss combo decks that play the waiting to draw the right cards.

Númber 3 bby
This game looks very rough.
Oh darn I downloaded it and accidentally it left the tutorial and I can't try it again lol
This game is the best game period.
Awesome
yeah... but its not the bazaar tho
Game it free to try on Mobile and steam for anyone who wants to
is the game good?
I dont like it, its too random
What do you mean it's random? There is no random effect whatsoever. And players play with the same creatures as everyone@@MrTomahawker
@@alastaras8931 in paper version both players draw 10 cards each. You dont know your deck and no clue about your opponents deck
I love that all card games just try to be even simpler than the one before them, have to make sure literal babies can buy our products
you have CGBs actual real life face in the thumbnail but he's not in the video!? i call the clickbait-BS police
I've seen this game before, but I must say the aesthetic and theme completely put me off of it. I knew it was by the mtg creator but idk it might just not be for me
Wait, it actually looks fun though 😮 I'm divided
This is an old physical card game
in what way is this game not.. how to say.. "nested" , "comprised" within mtg mechanics...?
i see why the game is fun, but i can also see that after a couple days of playing its all the same all the time and it feels stale very quickly, even if decks were to rotate ever 2-3 days.
He made a game a couple of years ago called solforge fusion. It was ass
what, another one?
Is that a va-

too simple?

Would have been interested if it wasn't so goofy looking
meh
Maybe I'm hating too much off one 30 min video but this game looks like it has no sauce
This game has such limited design space. It doesn't look interesting at all.
It actually has almost no limits because of the mindbug mechanic lol, maybe you should try it before being so judgmental
this games sucks tbh its completely unbalanced
This game kinda looks like shit tbh
misleading thumbnail is a dislike tbh
What was misleading about it?
First
This game seems insanely slow and the art looks like it was made by AI.
It is based on the board game version, so I doubt it is AI
"Looks like AI" is rapidly becoming the shallowest, most useless type of criticism. Stop overusing it for "I don't like this". All you're doing is making it harder to call out actual AI slop farms.
Seems alright, but horrifically imbalanced and the animations are slooooooooooooooooow.
