smh

[pearl fern]

rewriting? wym it was always that

@cursive viper knows, it has always stood for that

it's ok. Now you'll enver make that mistake again

[tropic slate]

pressure's on, gotta make t16 again next season

[pearl fern]

Hehe

[slow mason]

There's a CAT clan?

[safe plaza]

[safe plaza]

binzu will not side with you on this one

he's my lethal company coworker

[gleaming parcel]

Hey, is there someone who would be willing to play me a few matches in tcg for practice / feedback? There is a new deck I’ve been trying out but I wanna play against real people

[night token]

[safe plaza]

...

[safe plaza]

[safe plaza]

just add the CAT tag

ez

[pearl fern]

Why would you want to be a truck

[cursive viper]

LIA > CAT

[pearl fern]

Wait

Do i agree or disagree with that

Fk

I think i just played myself

[cursive viper]

Also Blep agrees im a student of the invokation akademy

Yayy

[supple marsh]

wait a second I thought Invokation Akademy is just an open courseware MOOC

we have actual students now?

[crystal tapir]

afaik invokation academy is just bleps channel that focuses on teaching the fundamentals of tcg as well as covering updates on the game
however if he wants to create a discord server to take in students and help them grow as a player that would be very fun

[summer berry]

Take in students:
Take in goons:

[frigid sundial]

[cursive viper]

where kevins goons server?

[safe plaza]

the honored one is too highly esteemed for a discord server

[sick blaze]

[twilit steppe]

I wish my dices look like this every time

[pliant otter]

When does season two information go up?

[polar barn]

when it does

[tropic slate]

inb4 this happens when your hand size is at maximum and you end up overdrawing because you can't tune any of them

[unkempt mountain]

I think it can be around February 12-14 if nothing changes (around 2 weeks after patch is out)

[gaunt moth]

The impossible has become possible

[crystal tapir]

wtf 8 omni
did you get 4 fav library for this lmao

[crystal tapir]

usually if there is a tcg for the patch (not always but probably will be one this patch as S2 is announced)
beginning of week 3: registration starts
registration ends: prelim starts and lasts for a week
1 week: break for calculations
1 week: knockout matches

[gaunt moth]

Even so it doesn't always give you Omni Dice what is this crazy luck

[sick blaze]

You roll as usual, use inazuma resonance and then use toss-up to go back to rolling screen (but not reroll anything), surely it must have been this

[polar barn]

[pearl glade]

No library no reroll

Just incredibly lucky

[smoky solar]

I’m pretty sure it doesn’t say "entering action phase" if you use toss up. But I might be wrong

[gaunt moth]

No you can only use Toss Up during the round itself

[sick blaze]

True, it's different display text-

Haven't thought about that

[sullen walrus]

Don't mind me, I am just here to post this

[thick charm]

they still haven't fixed it

it's been like that for months already

[pearl glade]

Dicord

[lucid sable]

Not me knowing I had a recommendation

but forgetting what it was now that the form is back

[prime trail]

crap i didn't know that the tournament happened :( signed up on registration day but was that also the prelim day?

[pearl glade]

there's always next time!

[prime trail]

yeah, hope the same card back returns next time

[slow heart]

Trust I play 35 games of dp in ctg just for fun

[sick blaze]

If you really like playing dp (like you) then it's probably fun

[white cipher]

good luck everyone

[low basalt]

Wait, does the deck card cover only need 3 wins or am I misunderstanding smth

And S1 is preliminaries or is that wrong?

[supple marsh]

if you got at least 3 wins on S1 you're eligible for the card back, it's just that the card backs are going to be sent out later

now in S2 the process repeats with a new card back reward: 3 wins in S2 preliminaries grant you the next one

[thick charm]

woo

[low basalt]

Oh, thank god i thought i did smth wrong
Thanks 🙏

[crystal tapir]

man the tournament is in 1.5 weeks and i still have no idea what im doing

[tropic slate]

😮 knockout format is being changed

thank goodness

[eternal musk]

oh, conquest

pog

[desert grove]

Interesting that they lowered the maximum number of participants to 6000 from 10000.

[supple marsh]

did we get to the 6000 mark last event?

[safe plaza]

Conquest pog

CTG getting on the same page as CN side

Also appreciate the updated rules

Super important for maintaining competitive integrity

[crystal tapir]

huh?

[supple marsh]

so the error was on the post template and not a one-time thing

[tropic slate]

I think they changed the first place score from 35 to 130 at some point

[crystal tapir]

Honestly 130,35 or 16 is effectively the same anyways

[desert grove]

According to Fulano, there were ~1513 participants during S1, plus probably a few hundred players who registered and didn't play or who only lost matches

[cursive gazelle]

i didnt even know there was a max ._.

[desert grove]

In my first tournament, I was oblivious to the number of people participating and assumed that given the number of people who play this game, the tournament must be exceedingly popular and would fill up quickly.

[raven fiber]

I'm Invading NA using LS #goodluck everyone!

[willow lion]

when is the s1 card back getting distributed

[night token]

in 1-3 business months

[crystal tapir]

Nah man youre gonna get burnt out by game 10

Stop the cap

xD

[polar barn]

soon 👍

[pearl glade]

In due course, at the appropriate juncture, in the fullness of time, when the moment is ripe, when the necessary procedures have been completed, nothing precipitate, of course.

[supple marsh]

man you don't have to be that deep

[stark holly]

Hi guys, I have a question

They gave me like 300primos for the previous tcg game

But now any cardback
Why

[slow mason]

card backs take a while

[gaunt moth]

The card back needs a few more months

[stark holly]

Oh

Thanks

[crystal tapir]

they still need to uhhh draw it surely

[safe plaza]

There is no max registration

[crystal tapir]

max registration is 6000

[desert grove]

Past 3 Cat's Tail Gatherings had an explicit max registration of 10000, this upcoming one is 6000.

[safe plaza]

huh - i've been heavily involved with the scene from the very start and i never knew this

[polar barn]

this is news to me

as well

[crystal tapir]

lia :worrypat

[desert grove]

That actually makes total sense; they didn't start specifying the participant limit until 2023 S4, when they started giving out Primogems. If you'd been playing since the start, it's natural to assume that the rules that you started with, e.g. no participant limit, carry forward, and end up missing small changes.

I started playing in 2023 S5, so it stood out to me more.

[wet bluff]

[rich wasp]

need 20 points to guarantee SS qualification in america/eu, and 11 to guarantee qualification in asia

in the non-worst-case-scenario, 16 and 10 points should also be enough to qualify most of the time for america/eu and asia respectively

[crystal tapir]

asia easy region

time to migrate

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/805662532354048060/1192856149297471488/1096961646053826700.gif

[tropic slate]

oh? are there more definite requirements I haven't been told of yet, or is this a guess?

or, well, did they say how many people are getting SS qualification?

[rich wasp]

yeah

24 from NA/EU

and 48 in AS

[tropic slate]

hm. source?

[rich wasp]

https://act.hoyoverse.com/ys/event/astracarnival/#/newsDetail/122299

guess i still have to top 32

11 points being the cutoff for the people who didnt participate in s1 in asia is kind of cruel though

have to top 8 to guarantee qualification

[tropic slate]

oh, straight to, huh

[rich wasp]

10 points will probably be enough i guess

[tropic slate]

oh I bet this will be like the first prince cup

[rich wasp]

serious showdown is like the group stages is my guess

[tropic slate]

top 24 are guaranteed and the rest is a group stages, yeah

well, let's hope

[sacred marten]

TOP48 in ASIA?

maybe 64players in showdown rather than 32 in EU/NA

hmmmm

[rich wasp]

yeah

probably

[crystal tapir]

if its actually just group stage

then its gonna be a huge dissapointment to a lot of players

and they will go back to triple region

so surely the prizes are worth more that triple region ctg

:copium

[sacred marten]

But there was 3 prince cup in ASIA last year

JP KR SEA+TW/HK

We're getting all together this tear

[slow mason]

can I get a mexico option

[supple marsh]

straight to Hotline you go I guess

and do it quickly btw, the processing time for these inquiries could be slow

[slow mason]

I doubt they'd actually care enough to change this last minute

[nocturne kestrel]

Mexico is a part of Latin America, from my geography knowledge

Actually, Putting North America and Latin America in parallel is not a good way to classify, bc North America and Latin America overlap in Mexico.

The good way to classify could be North America + South America, or Canada&US + Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC)

@frozen pike

[polar barn]

where is india

[gleaming parcel]

In Asia?

[polar barn]

which region specifically

[gleaming parcel]

India is a country in Asia

[polar barn]

other asian countries

[gleaming parcel]

Like southern, central, it’s pointy, right in the middle

[polar barn]

ik where it is it's my home

i meant where as in

in prince cup regions

[gleaming parcel]

What server do you play in

Also I don’t fully understand what the prince cup is

[polar barn]

asia

prince cup is offline on stage tournament
just like the recent asia invitational

with good prize pool

[gleaming parcel]

Yeah I don’t understand that either

[polar barn]

top 16 players of one region compete for the crown

[gleaming parcel]

That’s just normal knockout round

[polar barn]

like jp/kr/sea/NA/LA/EU

[polar barn]

no

[gleaming parcel]

How is that different than normal tournaments

[polar barn]

it's different from ctg

u qualify for prince from ctg

[gleaming parcel]

With the top 16 from each region having extra matches

[polar barn]

prince cup is different tournament entirely

[gleaming parcel]

doesn’t that just mean it’s the top 16 from one tournament playing in another tournament for more money

like same exact people

[polar barn]

not same

[gleaming parcel]

Just take them from one tournament, copy and paste, okay play again

[polar barn]

players are diff

[gleaming parcel]

that’s what it sounds like it is

but you said it’s the top 16

From the normal tcg

[polar barn]

i don't get what u don't understand

if it's same people it's bcz they are consistently good

[gleaming parcel]

Top 16 from each region

The tcg tournament here is divided into regions

You need to be good here to qualify for there

It just sounds like if you make top 16 here, regardless of server, then you’re automatically in the prince cup too

[polar barn]

yes

but regions here are diff than prince

in prince u have more regions

than ctg

[gleaming parcel]

How would they determine your region if it’s different than your tcg region

[polar barn]

id proof

u go through verification process

[gleaming parcel]

Okay

[polar barn]

for prince cup

[gleaming parcel]

lol i probably won’t qualify for top 16 or prince anyways so it doesn’t matter lol

[polar barn]

u don't need to be top 16

[gleaming parcel]

Im saying I won’t make either

[polar barn]

u need to be top 24 or 48 smith before

idk exactly

now it's changed

[gleaming parcel]

I won’t be too 16 here and I won’t rank that high to be in the prince cup

So it doesn’t matter

[polar barn]

it dosent matter for me either even if do well

[supple marsh]

if they are going to tear apart regions into sub-regions for Prince Cup again (kinda 50/50 on this one), they would probably care

just get that to the Hotline I guess

though I personally wish they don't split the regions again because that would just be weird to do after Showdown

[eternal musk]

you are correct, but you would be surprised at the lack of geography knowledge of people from a certain country in the north

[pseudo marten]

do we know if solid iron is ever coming back or did they really make it a singular chance unlike dragonspine which had multiple chances

[slow mason]

This is my problem

[tropic slate]

we have not been told whether it will come back. Probably not, since they haven't announced anything for either of the dragonspine cardbacks either beyond when they were originally available, but maybe you'll get another chance in another cat's tail later this year

[drowsy wharf]

sadge i missed that by a day 😦

[night token]

I like geography

[twilit lodge]

oh yea? name all the countries

with all their capitals

[ancient spindle]

Earth

[night token]

Mondstadt, Mondstadt

Liyue Harbor, Liyue

Inazuma City, Inazuma

Sumeru City, Sumeru

Court of Fontaine, Fontaine

@twilit lodge

[safe plaza]

it would matter if you did qualify

they will ID check you

most likely at serious showdown stage

and they're becoming more strict with these rules because of past history with ppl playing multiple regions

[crystal tapir]

Afaik playing multiple regions is still allowed in ctg just not ss

And when i asked for clarification they didnt give a very clear answer

If you play multiple ctg isnt that participating in multiple ss point system?

So therefore getting dqed in ss

Or is it just after the point system you can only choose to participate in 1 ss region

[rich wasp]

you probably get dqed if you qualify for multiple serious showdowns but outside of that, if ur actually secretive about it probably hard to get caught alting

[arctic valve]

but if they realize later, he can be fined

[crystal tapir]

yall making stuff up just wait for another month and the rules will be clearly defined surely

[arctic valve]

surely...

[safe plaza]

it's technically allowed, but not encouraged

[tropic slate]

explicitly discouraged, in fact
#tournament-updates message

[safe plaza]

Yep, the first bullet point there

It's important not to play with fire if you don't want to get burnt

[pearl fern]

time to shelve all my pyro decks then

[safe plaza]

No more fire station

[pearl fern]

but then who will put out the fires

[cursive viper]

i will bring enough water to put out all the fires

[slow heart]

time to play triple hydro

[pearl fern]

pyro decks when they face barbara XQ kokomi and all the cleanses

[slow heart]

u will never get a single reaction against them

[pearl glade]

bennet shoudl beat thsi ezpz

[crystal tapir]

Everything will be cleansed but 1 reaction will win you the game

Either that or you just equip sword and hit for 6 regardless of aura or not

[crystal tapir]

Thoughts on making ctg ko bo5 instead?

[pearl glade]

im for it

actually no

since only 1 character allowed

[crystal tapir]

wdym only 1 char allowed

[pearl glade]

i believe you are only allowed to use 1 character only once; aka no repeat characters in your list of knockout decks

[crystal tapir]

Well they changed it to you can use a char until you win with it

Also tourneys like asia inv has bo5 as well

Bo3 feels so rng esp with blind lists

1 bad matchup or surprise card and youre down half the set

[pearl glade]

ooo i did not know this

[pearl glade]

it's closed list?

sadge

i thought knockouts would at least be open

[crystal tapir]

like closed list + such a short set feels like just a coinflip

now im not that good at the game

but someone thats actually good and loses to some bs would definitly feel very bad

[pearl glade]

I agree

I think decklist should def be open

If open bo3 sounds fair

If not bo5 sounds better way of finding who us better at the game

[crystal tapir]

closed decklist is fine if they like this element of surprise but bo3 is just way to short on top of the closed list

[pearl glade]

i think bo5 is too long

especially considering people play stall

and those take like an hour per match

[crystal tapir]

it doesnt take an hour per match unless you giga rope

also its not going to be 5 stall matches

and you have a whole day for 5 matches max

[pearl glade]

But this is just for one opponent

Devoting three free day for ctg knockouts seem too excessive imo

I feel like most people wouldn’t be able to accommodate it

Cus of work/school ect

[crystal tapir]

remember that people are devoting each day to 5 matches in prelim just to make ko in the first place

[pearl glade]

Yeah so this would be on top of that pre lim commitment too

Bit too excessive

Maybe there will be sunk cost psychology at play but too much time devotion requirement i fear will drive away good players

[crystal tapir]

well i disagree because in asia invitationals a bo5 on average took less than an hour 30

and if you are able to spend an hour a day in prelim you can do so in ko

outliers do exist but you cant really plan around the longest possible time for a set

[pearl glade]

In ko do you and your opponents schedule a time together or is the match schedule is set by the organisers?

[crystal tapir]

with opponent

[pearl glade]

Icic

[supple marsh]

I think both sides schedule a time together and for 3rd place and final matches the organizers are involved to record the matches

[crystal tapir]

i think there are reasons for bo3 but time constraints isnt a very strong one

[pearl glade]

What are other reasons? I thought time constraint was the reason its not bo5.

Ideally i think it should be bo5 as well.

Other reasons i can think of is creating and training on five good deck is difficult.

[tropic slate]

honestly, what time constraint?

bo5 is at most 5 matches and that's what they're expecting you to do during the week prior anyway

with bo5 conquest, you don't need mastery of 5 decks, only of 3, which is honestly reasonable to expect of anyone who's competing to be a top player

[crystal tapir]

^^

last thing you want is someone practicing very hard to make ko just to lose to rng elements such as matchups or dice

[slow heart]

Play deck that don’t lose to rng :clueless

Everyone too drunk on magic stuff

[polar barn]

me have been saying this since like forever

[crystal tapir]

i dont hate closed list but at least make it bo5

honestly open list should be bo5 too

with this current highroll meta especially

[sick blaze]

3 stall games

[thick charm]

Mamere is compelling me to kill

people wanting to run from rng and here i am playing slug painter

[teal crag]

hello i new

how can i confirm that im registered for the tournament

[pine heron]

#🎫register message

Just do this 100X

[supple marsh]

that's going to be overkill

[twilit steppe]

... 🤥

[ancient spindle]

Hello, im new to this game. Can ya guys tell me how to win all 35 games

[earnest heron]

What day does tournament start I just registered

[ancient spindle]

the date is here #🎫register message

oops wrong link, fixed it

[hallow lance]

by beating the opponent 35 times

😎

[supple marsh]

so many smurfs here smh my head

[tropic slate]

just git gud lmao

[stiff crypt]

I also want to know
I keep losing

[pearl glade]

Hewwo i am tcg babby

Googoogaga

Teach me how to play tyty

[slow heart]

[tropic slate]

hello i am not tcg baby

i am tcg veteran

i will win

[signal spear]

@safe plaza how do I tell for sure if I registered correctly because I don't want to double register.

@teal crag did you ever get an answer?

[safe plaza]

nothing wrong with double registering

you can always send in a modmail and ask!

[signal spear]

@safe plaza How do you do that I'm tech savvy just not discord savvy

[safe plaza]

send a DM to @abstract briar and follow instructions~

[signal spear]

@safe plaza thanks

[safe plaza]

no problem! and good luck in the tourney!

[signal spear]

@safe plaza thanks you too

[safe plaza]

i'll be casting the finals

[frozen pike]

what do y'all think of getting pinged when the prelim starts quite a few peeps missed out cuz they didn't remember when prelim starts and came here when things already ended

[safe plaza]

good idea

also pings when registration opens

maybe a general role for tournament peeps

not just one by season

[frozen pike]

did you mute the server, sussy pinged everyone

[safe plaza]

nope

do you ping everyone every time?

[frozen pike]

it's Sussy, totally not me

[safe plaza]

i probably received the ping but didn't pay any mind to it because i was already planning on registering lol

[safe plaza]

sussy pon

[frozen pike]

and yeah, when reg opens, the @Event Ping is made

and when there's 24 hours until reg closes, @everyone is pinged

and i still see complains about missing the regs

[safe plaza]

people might have @ everyone suppressed

[frozen pike]

or just mute the entire survar

[frozen pike]

let's do it for this season and see if participation rate goes up!

which would then lower queue time

[safe plaza]

[teal crag]

i already know the answer i was just trolling

[signal spear]

Well anyone that is wondering if you can check if you registered correctly. Click the register button and if your information is already populated in the boxes that pop up you are registered already.

[supple marsh]

I think we should, and probably allow people to opt into getting pinged for every queue start

actually I'll try to get my feedback form submitted in a moment as well as there are a few more points I want to make

[barren anchor]

in addition to that, maybe there should be a new ping role that you'd choose to get to get pinged every time a queue starts

[night token]

I literally forgot that I can't start until tomorrow

[safe plaza]

good luck have fun!

[safe plaza]

My pet peeve is looking at the leaderboard and seeing IDs

Skull emoji

[subtle ibex]

still massive discord issue

[safe plaza]

There's gotta be a way to reformat it

Wehhh

[subtle ibex]

maybee maybe i think you made a suggestion in the past if its possible to add their UID names right next to (or maybe instead of) the actual tag itself; is prob smth to talk w pons about after he's done w his current slate of things

[safe plaza]

yes! whenever there's time!

[crystal tapir]

Just make lb display name instead of tag

[crystal tapir]

Or add name along with the tag

Displaying uid just makes us have to look the uid up which is the same as looking discord id up

[rose depot]

is the searcher broken again

oh nvm, just took 5 min to find a game

[willow lion]

getting trolled its been like 3 minutes

[gleaming parcel]

Why the hell is there a card that prevents the other player from using any Card

No food, no talents, no epic, literally, you can’t use any card, what the actual hell

[tropic slate]

there isn't, you're misreading it

Court of Justice only prevents event cards

equipment and support cards are fair game

most talents are equipment, the only one that isn't at the moment is Azhdaha's, I think

[safe plaza]

bot probably overloaded

[gleaming parcel]

Still.
Depending on your opponent, you can’t do anything. You immobilize them.
If they rely on food or their epic card to win, they’re screwed

[tropic slate]

that is the point of the card, yeah

it's really powerful but is balanced by being extremely hard to time correctly

i've tried it myself, I'm awful at using it

[gleaming parcel]

Okay, all you can do is give your character a weapon, great
It’s stupidly overpowered

[willow lion]

it works when it works

[gleaming parcel]

I didn’t even know that card existed and now I’m pissed

[willow lion]

it doesnt half the time

[gleaming parcel]

I sincerely doubt that

[willow lion]

its very rare for it to be game changing

[gleaming parcel]

yeah well I lost because of that card and I’m pissed about it

[trail leaf]

it only actuvates thrice

[willow lion]

even if opponent plays that card u can brute force thru it with 3 low cost card

[trail leaf]

if you. heh. if you play your cards right (lol) then it's fine to get past

[gleaming parcel]

Yeah, I’ve never even seen that card until today.
I literally couldn’t do anything With what my hand was and what I needed to do.

Guess I still suck then

I’m pissed and I have every right to be

[trail leaf]

hey pissed i'm dad ?

[gleaming parcel]

Yeah I haven’t won a single game today with a deck I did great with last time… I’m just upset

ugh, sorry

[crystal tapir]

Reading cards is a skill moment

😔

[gleaming parcel]

Yeah well that’s kinda hard to do on console, you should try it sometime , I don’t need to be harassed by you

[slow heart]

Have u try to read the cards in the deck builder?

A lot easier to read the cards that way

[gleaming parcel]

Wdym deck builder

[trail leaf]

i think the one you access from the inventory?

[slow heart]

this

[gleaming parcel]

That’s assuming I have the card

[slow heart]

U can set it to include card u don't own

[gleaming parcel]

How???

[slow heart]

bottom left filter

[gleaming parcel]

Yeah I don’t even know how to access that

I don’t always know about every single new card that comes out

[slow heart]

Always a good idea to look through this or the card shop to see what new cards is out so you don't get caught by surprise in a game

[gleaming parcel]

Yeah thanks

I don’t worship this game the way others here do though

I just play to try to get primos

[misty harness]

queue is kinda dead tonight

[willow lion]

wow i actually did good today

wilding

[pearl glade]

Nyaa~

[gleaming parcel]

I just did surprisingly well last tournament after working really hard to improve, and I’m just upset I didn’t win a single game today

[crystal tapir]

Nyaa~

[willow lion]

did they change so that 17-32 get 5 points for the overall leaderboard too now?

i thought it used to be only for top 16

[crystal tapir]

No, was always 5pt

[willow lion]

oh

maybe im tripping

[rose depot]

i'm washed, losing every game

[willow lion]

wait

how can i check my last seasons rank

[crystal tapir]

Issok im at 0 wins as well

Worrypat

[tropic slate]

left on the d-pad

[willow lion]

or how can i check my serious showdown point

[tropic slate]

also, the settings button lets you check a history of cards played and you can L3 on them to see their effects

[crystal tapir]

https://discord.com/channels/865768900662788107/1202999659384143972

[willow lion]

it only shows certain amount of ppl

i THINK i got top 32 but im not 100% sure

[crystal tapir]

Oh uhhhh maybe theres no way

[willow lion]

😔

[crystal tapir]

Contact qixing maybe the only way

Surely they have access to backend data copeium

[willow lion]

if u dont play for a day your match quota doesnt go away right

it just piles on

[crystal tapir]

It adds by 5 each day and stacks

[willow lion]

i see

[crystal tapir]

Kinda like my homework

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/805662532354048060/1192856149297471488/1096961646053826700.gif

[willow lion]

kinda like my homework too

i have 3 assignments due this week

and im over here playing some anime card

[gleaming parcel]

I don’t think I’m gonna get the card back this tournament

[willow lion]

its only 3 wins no?

you have 35 games

[wet bluff]

do not despairge on day 1! I BELIEVE IN YOU unless you fight me please lose please lose please lo-

[gleaming parcel]

I mean my very first tournament I only won 1/20 games
I also have work some nights where I close, so I miss the queue time.
My first tournament I lost 12 game in a row on a single day
So it’s entirely possible

[wet bluff]

play meta

[willow lion]

sounds like u just need to study the game more

and play meta

[gleaming parcel]

Screw meta

[wet bluff]

disregard your principles and play meta

[gleaming parcel]

no

[wet bluff]

i mean play meta until 3 wins lmao

[willow lion]

make your principles align with meta

gg

[lucid sable]

2 matches done

[willow lion]

win win fr

[lucid sable]

2 stalls faced

[gleaming parcel]

No

[willow lion]

i faced a zhongli thoma dehya stall today too

[wet bluff]

i stopped worrying about playing my homebrewed decks and playing meta for a little during these things

THE GAME IS A LOT MORE FUN WHEN YOU STOP WORRYING ABOUT THE CARDBACK

[gleaming parcel]

I despise meta,
I’m not putting raiden or Fischl or zhongli anywhere near my decks

[lucid sable]

I can't even pilot meta correctly

its my cope or fail even worse playing meta

I'm saying from experience

[willow lion]

whats wrong with playing meta

[wet bluff]

hear me out

[willow lion]

unless youre playing the game just to loose

[wet bluff]

playing meta lets you see how to cope harder

[gleaming parcel]

I don’t even know what that means

[crystal tapir]

ehh meta is fake anyways outside top level play

everything else can be made up for by skill

just play whatever is fun

[wet bluff]

i mean true

[willow lion]

i mean yes but what if u play a 'fun' reaction comp into double hydro ning

[wet bluff]

i play yelan double cube and i pop off

[gleaming parcel]

I’ve had success playing ”nonmeta” decks in the past and I’ve been fine… last tournament I even managed to win 200 primos…

I usually prefer playing the cards I like, the characters I like… but that only works so well when you have stupid cards like dvalin that can attack anyone or cards that prevent you from any card you have

what’s the point of a card game that has rules and easy things to follow when you have cards that just disregard all the rules

[willow lion]

what

[crystal tapir]

[willow lion]

how is anything disregarding any rule

*enemy attacks your next character because the kit clearly says it would do so
HEY THATS CHEATING

[gleaming parcel]

it was more fun when the game was predictable, and you could plan ahead and strategize
Sometimes I’d put forth a character because I knew it was going to die and I wanted to sacrifice it
But now I can’t even do that
I don’t know how to predict what’s going to happen next any more or what to do next when I can’t do anything with my cards when someone plays a card that blocks everything I can or need to do

[willow lion]

the game is predictable

you just need to learn more

[gleaming parcel]

Not any more

[willow lion]

and consider every possibility

yes it is

[gleaming parcel]

not with cards that just attack whoever they want, and cards that bar you from all the cards in your hand

[willow lion]

if you cant roughly what the enemy can do, thats simply because you dont play the game enough

[crystal tapir]

care to give an example?

[gleaming parcel]

like at that point, what’s the point of playing, if someone had those cards, game over, no chance of winning

[crystal tapir]

i dont remember any cards than can attack whoever

[willow lion]

1. you can read the attack pattern
2. that arcane card is a heavy gamble card because half the time itll just have 0 effect and makes u -1 dice

[slow heart]

wanderer attack the char to the right and dvalin 5 cost go active right than left

[willow lion]

^

and its all stated in their kit

[gleaming parcel]

English please

[slow heart]

dvalin 5 cost hit your active char

the next hit will be the one to the right of your active char

the third hit will be the one to the left of your active char

[willow lion]

hint: next character means to the right

previous character means to the left

[gleaming parcel]

So dvalin basically can kill your entire team in a single action

[crystal tapir]

alternatively it hits 0 swirls and does nothing

[jaunty wagon]

Hii, where can I see the rooms in which I've been matched?

[crystal tapir]

so whats your point

[gleaming parcel]

What attack pattern

[willow lion]

it pings u

should be a thread under the prelm queue channel

[gleaming parcel]

lol not really, not on mobile

[willow lion]

whoever u claim that can "attack anyone"

[willow lion]

??

[jaunty wagon]

Someone is not confirming their result and I lost the rooms

[crystal tapir]

this icon in https://discord.com/channels/865768900662788107/1071009460966936596

[willow lion]

if its more than a few min just re-match

it prob bugged out or they didnt acept

[gleaming parcel]

I never get pinged, I have to watch discord religiously and frequently monitor the channel to make sure I don’t miss my match

[willow lion]

what

turn on your notifications

[jaunty wagon]

Yeah, but they we're a bit salty so i'm concerned 😒

[gleaming parcel]

The server is too big to get notifications

[willow lion]

u should contact staff

[willow lion]

that makes no sense

youre the one that turned it off for your self

[jaunty wagon]

Ok, ty

[willow lion]

it pings u when u get a match, and when the room is created

[wet bluff]

i feel bad lmfao

[willow lion]

i dont have a active match, so i cant really show u that it pings u in the room, but the bot literally says "check your ping there"

[gleaming parcel]

Yeah but unless im in the server, I don’t get a ping

[wet bluff]

i accidentally lyresonged the wrong thing and that literally cost me the game i was playing

[willow lion]

for non-mention, the bot mentions u

[gleaming parcel]

I have to be in the channel, staring at the channel

[willow lion]

no you do not

[gleaming parcel]

If I’m in another channel I don’t get a ping

[willow lion]

💀

[gleaming parcel]

I know how my discord works lol.

If my discord is closed I don’t get a notice either

I’ve talked about this before lol

[willow lion]

😭

[gleaming parcel]

Maybe it’s different for pc, but on mobile it doesn’t ping you, no notif,

[wet bluff]

i equipped nahida with dendro artifact
was gonna tune
LYRESONG PLAYED

[willow lion]

?

[wet bluff]

my face:

[willow lion]

you have this on?

[wet bluff]

[gleaming parcel]

It mentions me, sure, but I can’t do anything ?

[gleaming parcel]

I almost never use discord on my computer

[gleaming parcel]

Where even is that setting

[willow lion]

but you have discord logged on your pc?

[willow lion]

in notification

[gleaming parcel]

???

[willow lion]

you have to turn it off on your pc

[gleaming parcel]

And notifs are on in my phone settings too

[gleaming parcel]

But my Pc isn’t even on

I haven’t been on discord on my pc in weeks

and when I’m on it, I’m on browser

[willow lion]

idk what to tell u, getting pinged is what normally happens

[gleaming parcel]

lol and I’ve just explained that doesn’t happen for me

[willow lion]

then you're the outlier

[gleaming parcel]

You’re not the first person to try to help me fix it
I can’t do anything

[gleaming parcel]

That we know of

but anyways

Idk what to do with my deck any more since I suck and don’t think I’ll win any matches this tournament

“Play meta” doesn’t help, I don’t know what to do with my deck at all

[willow lion]

you don't have to play meta

but u have to study them to win games

[safe plaza]

3-2

[gleaming parcel]

You guys literally were just saying I should

[tropic slate]

both losses were against me though, and since i'm clearly the best player in NA, it doesn't count

[willow lion]

how do u expect to win when u don't even know what opponents is going to or might do

[tropic slate]

there is no proof you're not second best NA Lia

[gleaming parcel]

But there isn’t an easy way for me to share my deck and ask people to make changes or give me a deck to play
Because handing someone a premade deck doesn’t gurantee they win

[tropic slate]

you can share the deckcode and ask for advice in the gitcg server, there's a channel for that

[willow lion]

u have to study the decks the play styles to know how to play and deal with them

[tropic slate]

but honestly the biggest thing is just practice

[willow lion]

and play more

[tropic slate]

practice a lot, practice every archetype

even the ones you don't like

[willow lion]

so you get fucked over by random things so u know next time

[tropic slate]

because knowing how to play them also lets you know how they play against you

and what their pain points are

[willow lion]

double lyre ptsd

[tropic slate]

after every win, ask "what could I have done differently (or how could I have constructed my deck differently to make that less close"

and after every loss, the same, "what would I have done differently in order to win, assuming the opponent did the same thing?"

[safe plaza]

actually true

[tropic slate]

continue to iterate, adding or removing cards in deck as needed

and taking notes on playstyle, never make the same mistake twice

and that's the path to getting better

takes a lot of practice, but eventually

[safe plaza]

what could i have done differently? not play so fast on a stall deck

fml

[tropic slate]

as for whether you want to sink in that much time, that's a different issue

[gleaming parcel]

So I have to play every card, every possible deck combination in order to have any chance??

[tropic slate]

pretty much

that's a bit of an exaggeration, but honestly yes

I've spent the past two weeks doing that

[gleaming parcel]

Who the heck has that kind of time though

We have jobs and lives, I can’t just spend 12 hours a day for 2 weeks only playing tcg

[crystal tapir]

if youre trying to learn take the advice
if you arent then stop asking for it

[willow lion]

who would've thought u need to play the game to get better at the game

[trail leaf]

i have 3 jobs and am a fulltime college student and i have time... not trying to be mean but what is your point???

[willow lion]

[gleaming parcel]

I’m familiar with most cards, but every now and then they give us new cards that I’m unfamiliar with
That happens, sure
But I’m just saying I don’t know what to do my more with the decks I have
Because the decks that used to be good clearly aren’t any more, even with changes that I’ve made to them to try to keep them up to date, but I don’t know what I can do differently any more or how to change or make a new deck to give my self some kind of chance

All anyone’s advice has been is just “play more and read.”
okay, great, but that doesn’t always help. Someone could read every single card and have every single one memorized but that doesn’t mean they’ll win

[willow lion]

they'll have a better chance at winning than those who didn't

no way

[safe plaza]

i think it's like any hobby

you have to put aside time to invest yourself into it

if you don't think it's fun or you don't have the time, a hobby that is competitive in nature might not work well for you

[wet bluff]

if you don't get how a certain card works, test it out, ask for advice, if you have a deck you've built, share the deck with others if you can. people will give advice

[willow lion]

yes should play league instead

[safe plaza]

i just hit emerald in league

[willow lion]

very family friendly and not time consuming

[safe plaza]

pogchamp

[willow lion]

gg

[safe plaza]

but competitive games are all about learning and perfecting your craft, which takes time

[wet bluff]

the first decks i build were bad but i got better and you just need to invest the time

[gleaming parcel]

I’m not trying to win 1st or be the next world champion or whatever though, I just want to win the card back and some primos for the game

[wet bluff]

and if not, look up youtube videos on meta decks. even if you don't wanna play meta, knowing their gameplan and how the cards sync helps a ton

[safe plaza]

a lot of players are here trying to be the best tho, so you might match into them

[willow lion]

the first ever deck i built was ayamiya with xingqiu

[safe plaza]

it's worth studying a little bit to do better

if your goals are small, study enough to meet your goals

[wet bluff]

mine was kenki freeze lmao

[safe plaza]

mine was mona jean kaeya

i was cooking

[wet bluff]

real

i played kenki before liiking up meta cuz "HOLY SHIT HE LOOKS SO FUCKING COOL"

Kenki made me fall in love with the monster cards

[willow lion]

and then he got fucked over the following patch

[wet bluff]

real

[willow lion]

[gleaming parcel]

I already took a lot of time to practice and get better, I changed my decks so much and did so much work, and it helped for last season but now it’s not enough any more and idk what to do

[safe plaza]

what deck are you playing? if you're willing to share?

[wet bluff]

again maybe ask for advice instead of complaining

saying you're doing bad over and over doesn't help

ask actual questions and you will get better answers

[gleaming parcel]

I don’t even know what kind of questions to ask though

I want help but I don’t know what kind of help I need

[wet bluff]

well for starters, what are you trying to achieve with your deck?

is it combo? stall?

[gleaming parcel]

I don’t feel comfortable sharing that information in this chat, maybe privately

[wet bluff]

what characters are you using? what is the deck itself?

[safe plaza]

this is a good place to start then

are you familiar with any beginner-level GITCG resources?

[wet bluff]

i reccomend looking up BLEP CAT TCG

[safe plaza]

or have you watched any of the big tournaments to see what has been played historically?

[wet bluff]

^

even skipping through tourney streams to when they show the decklists helps

[gleaming parcel]

I’m trying to achieve a win ?
Probably more combo

[wet bluff]

specifically for the most recent tournaments

[safe plaza]

i don't think it's great to jump into a competitive game without having a basic idea of what you will do

[wet bluff]

also why did i have a feeling u wre gonna say "to win" LMAO

[gleaming parcel]

this is my 3rd season playing
So I’m not clueless

[gleaming parcel]

But I don’t know what else to say

[wet bluff]

i guess a better question is gameplan

[safe plaza]

but when you say you're not sure what to ask or where to start, that gives the impression that you aren't sure about certain things

[wet bluff]

for my cube deck, my gameplan is to burst with yelan and then NA the opponent to death with either cube depending on the situation

[gleaming parcel]

do to damage and defeat my opponents before they can defeat mine ?

[willow lion]

skully

[safe plaza]

do you know about the archetype triangle?

stall, vs. combo, vs. aggro

[slow heart]

mid-range

[gleaming parcel]

I have an order I play my deck in if that’s what you mean

[safe plaza]

mid range falls somewhere between those points

[willow lion]

unga bunga

[safe plaza]

that's fire station

💯

[gleaming parcel]

I’ve spent the time building my decks, figuring out their order, what I need to do, what cards I should have and play

But at a certain point that isn’t enough and more and idk what to do any more to win.

That’s what I’m stuck with. I feel like I’ve done all I can and I don’t know what else I can do

[willow lion]

study meta and look at what cards are good to carry with what kind of decks

[gleaming parcel]

No, this is the first I’ve heard about it

[safe plaza]

This would be a good place to start

[willow lion]

and integrate it with your own deck

[gleaming parcel]

So you’re saying I have to play meta

[safe plaza]

It sounds like you have a lot of information specific to the decks you've chosen to play, but not broad information about the game itself

[willow lion]

u don't have to play meta

u have to study them

[rich wasp]

pick a branch of the triangle to target

[gleaming parcel]

my deck isn’t bad but it’s not the same deck that half the community uses right now

[willow lion]

no one is forcing u to play top decks

u keep on saying it's not bad but u won't share so we can't even give suggestions

and judging from the fact that u lost every game, it probably could use some improvement

[slow heart]

if you compare a lot of meta together you will see that their 30 action cards are really similar, and if they are used in many meta deck you can consider adding them to your own deck

[gleaming parcel]

I have information about the decks I’ve faced and the decks I use and the characters I’m familiar with, but I’m not a tcg master who knows every detail about the game, no

[gleaming parcel]

But I didn’t lose every game last season, and it’s the same deck

[slow heart]

People get better and better and some people switch to more meta deck this season

[willow lion]

here we go in the loop again

[safe plaza]

Last season was a different patch, the meta shifts as new cards are added and some are adjusted

Also, the player pool is more and more competitive as each season goes on

[willow lion]

[gleaming parcel]

I’m anxious about sharing my deck here because I don’t want it to be used against me, or to be made fun of

[safe plaza]

So games can be pretty tough if you approach at a casual level

[safe plaza]

I definitely understand that concern

[gleaming parcel]

i know, I’ve heard that before

[safe plaza]

I think even if people have a harsh tone sometimes, their intentions are to help though

[gleaming parcel]

And I want to be helped despite what others here may think, but I’ve had a heachache for the last hour and my emotions are high because I’ve lost and I’m discouraged

I can’t even bring myself to play the regular game right now

[safe plaza]

To me, the fact you are here for multiple seasons and bothering to try and win for the cardback is evidence enough that you enjoy the game. Maybe some resources can help you get to the next level

[gleaming parcel]

but what even is the next level?
I just feels like I’ve gone backwards this season

[willow lion]

now you know how they feel

check mate

[safe plaza]

My co-caster Blep has a YouTube channel where he breaks down concepts like the triangle meta and they're pretty well made if you'd be willing to get into them as a starting point

[slow heart]

Coryn are you still playing something like this? #1072075083025223770 message

or is it more refine with new cards

I remeber helping you with deck building a long time ago

[gleaming parcel]

No, I haven’t played that deck in months

I don’t have kokomi in any decks

[crystal tapir]

can vouch, blep makes content very beginner friendly

[safe plaza]

Also I think this is a sign to take a break and relax

You should always play competitive games like this when you are in your top mental/emotional state

[wet bluff]

I GOT MY THIRD WIN......

now i shall play cube cope

wait question

[gleaming parcel]

I guess, I’ve always been someone who has been taught to push through even when you suck thiugh. It’s why my 3-4-5th games where blurs to me, cause I was really upset about my second game

[wet bluff]

if i get a top spot here do i get a chance for the gold cardback

[safe plaza]

You can still push through without pushing too hard

It's important to work smarter and not harder

[wet bluff]

or is that in the invitational

[slow heart]

prince cup me think

[wet bluff]

i have 1 loss 3 wins for today thus far

[slow heart]

or is it top 16 hmm

[wet bluff]

i believe in myself

[safe plaza]

Pushing through could mean taking a step back, reassessing your decks, studying a bit more, and coming back tomorrow or the next day

[gleaming parcel]

Yeahhh to me that just means I don’t try to play 15 games in a single day cause if I lose every single game I want to die

[slow heart]

better than my 3-2

[wet bluff]

imma do my last game

i've been playing FiNaly though

[gleaming parcel]

you guys are still playing???

[crystal tapir]

top spot here for direct invite to Serious Showdown
winning Serious Showdown gives you invite to Prince Cup

[wet bluff]

i promised myself i'd push through with meta until it was impossible for me to get a top spot

[safe plaza]

Prince Cup participants get golden cardback yeah

[crystal tapir]

Prince Cup is the one giving gold cardback

[wet bluff]

i believe in myself

[safe plaza]

2 tiers of tournaments you have to advance through

everyone else is competing for the cash
I'm a fucking dork
i'm competing for the cool skin

this is my motivation

[safe plaza]

@gleaming parcel try watching this, it's a bit old but the general information should still hold up

[slow heart]

what version is this why do i see ayamiya and monklee

[safe plaza]

And then think about what you play and what you play against, and how you would sort them into archetypes

I think that's a good first step

[safe plaza]

6 months ago Lieil

[slow heart]

ayamiya was 6 months ago?

I thought tcg has been out for longer than that

[safe plaza]

It's just an example of a combo deck

[crystal tapir]

unironically ayamiya and monaklee is not bad rn

[safe plaza]

Idr when it was but ayamiya made a short term comeback

[trail leaf]

i have a question regarding users who create an account in a different region, is that allowed?

[safe plaza]

Allowed but strongly discouraged.

[trail leaf]

i remember some discussion about it recently but didn't stick around for the conclusion

ahhh

my opponent

[gleaming parcel]

I’m open to playing a new deck, and having help with another deck being built, but I don’t like being forced to play an exact deck, if that makes sense
I don’t like being given a deck and being told “you have to play this deck.” If that makes sense… idk.

I don’t like being forced to do things… and I’m really not a fan of meta… I have more fun playing the characters I like than characters I hate even if the characters I hate make it more likely I’ll win
Idk. I’m a mess

[safe plaza]

If they qualify for Serious Showdown in multiple regions, they'll be in trouble

[trail leaf]

i see i see

well i guess losing to an extreme highroll might be lucky for me if they actually get to serious showdown and have to deal with that

[safe plaza]

I know how you feel because I'm the same way. It's why I prefer casting over playing - meta is boring to me

But in a tournament like this, if your goal is to win, you should play what wins, and know why it will win

Historically I've always played cope, but I'm sticking to meta only this time lol

[crystal tapir]

btw can you qualify for SS in a region you dont physically live in

[gleaming parcel]

I’ve always had unconventional teams and builds in every game I play… and it usually works fine. I did well last tournament with it… idk

I don’t like being told I have to play a very specific deck to win. Especially if it’s one of thosebest decks” that everyone recommends. Because then if everyone plays the same 3 decks, it takes out so much fun

[safe plaza]

No. You'll get ID checked and if you aren't from that region, you can't play

Iirc

[crystal tapir]

so basically half the people on lb is not eligible xD

:kleekicant

[trail leaf]

dang haha

[safe plaza]

I think there's more than 3 good decks. Each archetype has a few decks that are good

A lot of people are playing FiNaLy (Fischl Nahida Lyney) because of its performance at Asia Invitational

[pearl fern]

earning your LIA tag I see

[trail leaf]

and you can also steal some ideas from popular decks and make your own from them (if you understand what actually makes the deck good, lol)

[safe plaza]

The decks that proved themselves on stage will always be regarded highly

[gleaming parcel]

Yeah but you get my point… every season there are a couple of new decks that show up and then suddenly everyone plays them

[safe plaza]

I charge a commission fee for using my name

[gleaming parcel]

And that’s all anyone plays

[trail leaf]

i've cooked a lot of my own meta-adjacent decks that have different character cards or deck setups, and it's chill

[pearl fern]

perfect

[gleaming parcel]

@safe plaza are you still doing matching right now??
Im open to trying to play a few games for your advice
It’ll help you get a sense of my deck too

[safe plaza]

It's a combination of, the math works out for those decks to succeed the most, and also like... how community sentiment works I guess

[pearl glade]

how to join the CAT clan ??

[pearl fern]

this is how competitive tournaments tend to work. At any one time you have like 60% of the participants on a single deck

[crystal tapir]

if everyone plays one deck then you just build a counter to profit 🤔

[pearl glade]

mepw

[pearl fern]

at least now days

[safe plaza]

I'm not atm! I got off to make dinner, I can come back and play a couple later if you'd like though

[crystal tapir]

nah 60% is way too high blep

[safe plaza]

Simply put the tag CAT in your name

[pearl fern]

60% is prob too high for gitcg yeah

[safe plaza]

I did it to troll Blep

[pearl glade]

nyaruhodo

[pearl fern]

though part of that is the format of needing to bring 3 decks to most matches

[safe plaza]

Where's your LIA tag

[trail leaf]

a lot of old meta decks are still good, too, i've been playing nothing but rxn this ctg and it's been good, 50/50

[safe plaza]

Smh

[gleaming parcel]

High yes thank you for that. Im aware.
I don’t want to be one of those 60% of people playing the same deck.

[pearl glade]

test

meow~

[pearl fern]

I disgraced myself too much, I don't deserve it anymore

[pearl glade]

join the CAT clan

[safe plaza]

Omg you had a bad day you'll be fine tomorrow

[pearl glade]

you belong blap

[gleaming parcel]

I’d really like that please

[trail leaf]

converted to the furry side

[pearl glade]

nyaa~

[safe plaza]

[willow lion]

is SS a once in a year type thing?

[slow heart]

Diona main welcome you with open arms nya

[pearl fern]

This is fine - the main issue though is if you indeed don't have time to practice the game to get good at an off-meta deck enough to win, then realistically your only option if you just want to get to 3 is to play a solid deck with a set gameplay, execute, and get the wins and get out in least amount of time

[safe plaza]

Nope

[crystal tapir]

idk they arent releasing much info on it

[willow lion]

idek the format

[gleaming parcel]

Im also open to playing matches with other people too though, just let me know when you’re ready to play

[willow lion]

the news page just says "yeah this is a thing but thats about it"

BIRDY TOOK MY 5-0

[willow lion]

according to hoyo its what theyll use to invite for prince cup but no info on how many are invited

[gleaming parcel]

That’s what I have, I wouldn’t say my deck is bad and I have a game plan when I play it, I just idk.
I lost every game today and it’s hard not to be discouraged that while I did well last season, this won’t be like my first season again where I lost every single match
I just want primos and the card back

[wet bluff]

[wet bluff]

[wet bluff]

[gleaming parcel]

[wet bluff]

i didn't get to play all my matches but i think i had 18 or something at the end of it

[trail leaf]

i feel like i pull really consistent 3-2s 😭 just barely above average i guess

[willow lion]

u can count with that too

[wet bluff]

i got 320

[gleaming parcel]

I forget how many primos you get per win

[willow lion]

17 wins apparently

[wet bluff]

i feel i could have done more BUUUUT i had a lot of work at the time and wasn't playing every day

[willow lion]

i went into golden dragonspine like 6 times last season

💀

[wet bluff]

so i had too big of a backlog to finish

[gleaming parcel]

Is there a way to check last season wins??

[wet bluff]

same i beat shann twice in a row and i will never not be a smug little shit about that

[willow lion]

u just look at how many u won and how many u played

[gleaming parcel]

I don’t remember how many I won off the top of my head

[pearl glade]

bitpie

you pro

[willow lion]

look at how many primo u got

[wet bluff]

the gold cardback was intimidating lmao

that's the true purpose of it

[gleaming parcel]

Okay and compare it to what

[wet bluff]

intimidate ur opponent

[willow lion]

the chart that they give

[pearl glade]

how come i never match you ayaway

[gleaming parcel]

where

[wet bluff]

the game can sense our friendly vibes ;)

[gleaming parcel]

is that for last season?

[wet bluff]

ye

[willow lion]

its the same for every

pretty sure

at least this and last season is the same

[wet bluff]

double ye

[gleaming parcel]

Then I only had 10 wins last season

[willow lion]

then that'd be it

[gleaming parcel]

28.5% win rate

[wet bluff]

guys what would you do if i got to prince cup and my intro was me simply holding up the picture i drew of diona neco arc

[gleaming parcel]

Which is stupidly low… idk how to make that higher without playing meta decks

[willow lion]

why is my motherboards rgb broken

[wet bluff]

i get that you don't wanna play meta and all but at least practice with it
seriously, your gamesense will grow a lot better

i'm not saying to stick with it

just give it a shot and then take that knowledge with you when building your personal decks

[gleaming parcel]

I’m already aware of the decks, I don’t want to play them and I don’t even have the cards or coins to get the cards for them anyways

[wet bluff]

ahh

[gleaming parcel]

What

[wet bluff]

that is a "ahh, i understand oki"

[tropic slate]

my birthday is 3 months from now lol

[safe plaza]

happy 50th birthday birdy

[wet bluff]

i been playing so long i forgot you need to actually work toward the cards lmfao
