I recently bought a whole bunch of Keyforge decks off a random internet stranger, but it seems a small amount of them (only 2 so far) are missing the archon card which has the checklist on it.

Does anyone know if this card is replaceable, before I contact Keyforge directly and ask?

Title. Yeah the games really never grabbed me. I did beat red/blue as a kid but pokemania didn't win me over. Probably because at the time I was playing much more in-depth JRPGs like Final Fantasy. While on the other hand, as a kid I was interested in the tcg but had no one to play nor the disposable income to collect. Fast forward to today and now I can play solo games against myself and test out decks and cards thanks to the internet.

This website https://ptcgsim.online/ is pretty robust and features a very large cardpool. Today I was messing around with haymaker decks against myself. Over 3 games, best of 3, I tied with myself, so wow cool.

Anyway it's neat and it's also got a multiplayer option where you can host a room, so if anyone ever wants to play a casual game? lmk

Outside of games my other love growing up was collecting trading cards. I didn't have much nor did I ever really get to play people at games stores, but I enjoyed it. Got back into it last year with trying to relive my childhood with ygo cards.

My little binder is filling up. I got a deck of ygo goat cards, (most expensive pictured here worth a whopping $20). Some childhood sports cards, Scottie Pippen. Some mtg cards which came today in the mail, $2 off amazon lol, and these rare mgs collectable cards I got years ago at a Electronics Boutique, remember them?

I started mucking around with magic again, specifically old school (1997) playing Shandalar. I'm a total newbie so I always stick to green decks with ramp, and the Lainowar Elves is such a staple.

It's pretty sweet, it's totally manual meaning there's no automation to play and it's card pool is everything I think up to 2024 or something. Anywho I've been playing against myself with old theme decks to test the water, as I'm more familiar with old ygo than pokemon.

Pretty cool. I'm learning to play the game against myself with decks I've tested out. It seems to work with all sets too, I think? So far I've just tested it with some base decks.

Just wondering.

Little bug people are cool

I got some boosters from spell ruler to check out the old formats and have something for in the future I could potentially play some progression games against. I even got a binder for them too.

I also found the other day my metal gear solid trading cards and threw them in there too since it's another konami product. CCGs are cool but I can see how easily they can become a money pit lol.

I've been playing old formats against the ai and it's super beginner friendly (just started playing and collecting the game 2 weeks ago). Edopro let's you enforce custom rules so you can play any era of yugi from 2002 all the way up to today if you want. It's been fun learning the ropes of the game and playing decks from 2002, when the tcg first came to the west.

If anyone wants to play me and my janky 2002 tribal deck, lmk and we can set something up!

I've been messing around with edopro and importing decks off ygoprodeck. I'm trying to get used to playing older simpler formats like critter and goat to learn the flow of the game. It's fun! So much easier to play than mtg, imo, as it's mostly a game about attacking with monsters and trying to do as much damage as possible in a turn.

So if you got some tips and tricks for me or other formats I should check out please let me know.

We will meet tonight on xMage. Discord for those that haven't joined yet: https://discord.gg/RVUKxUrPPU . Pauper format this week and the next. Be sure to download your cards ahead of time, because it takes awhile. We will be using Room-names with Hexbear in the title, so feel free to jump in whatever room is empty when the time comes.

Results are in, and it looks like we will be doing a weekly MTG night starting next Monday. I'm thinking 7:00 PM CST, but we can adjust exact times if needed. Commander got a little bit of pushback in the original thread, so I'm thinking we might start with Pauper then switch to draft in a couple weeks (Commander can come a bit later). Organization will be primarily done through Discord, but I'll still post updates here as needed. We will be using xMage which you can find here. 1v1s for now, but we can always do a 3-way if we get an odd number of people.

I'm going to run a tokens deck, and I look forward to seeing what y'all bring!

In case you have not seen tabletop card game simulator Millennium Blades has another printing up on kickstarter. I have played this game and let me tell you. If you are into card games and want to play something that is off the wall fun with your friends check this out. You basically play 3 tournaments with market and deck building phases before each of them. The only issue is your first learning session is gonna be like 4-5 hours.

Like if I wanted to search a deck containing green cards from Ice Age for example, any site that lets me do that?

^^ the deck I've been using. It seems like white puts down really strong creatures fast and you can put +'s on them.

^^ the two decks I used, I played green and the ai was red. Still getting the hang of this game but with over like 50k cards in the library and endless combos it's so deep. The AI is quite smart on Forge too. I've never played MTG in my life so this is all new to me.

Only 4p, sadly, because one guy dropped out to go on a date (valid, but incorrect). Rather short game, ending on turn 5, after ~6 hours (with meal break). Disregard the flipped over objective cards, we just wanted to see what they were post-game.

HS1 is Sol, HS2 is Xxcha, HS3 is Hacan, HS4 is Ghosts of Creuss:

Winner was the Federation of Sol, played by yours truly, because the others more or less forced me onto Mecatol Rex and once in position my ability to drop in infantry squads made me impossible to shift. Also got very lucky with my secret objectives lining up with the publics (2 unit upgrades + 2 faction upgrades, which are the same for Sol, and own 4 planets of any color + own 4 Blue). They let me score Imperial twice which is way too many. Nobody made an attempt to dislodge me until Turn 5, too worried they'd be backstabbed, which, in fairness, was probably accurate for every player but the Xxcha. EDIT: Sol has a rep as being overpowered, so we nerfed it by reducing its starting fleet by 1 carrier. This did not seem to be enough, and it is now on the ban list, along with Jol-Nar.

Ghosts in second with 7 points because both other players gave him Support points in exchange for him suiciding into my invincible army on Mec Rex (not knowing that the game was already over unless they took my home system). This player is generally the weakest in the group, and failed to secure their slice until way too late, leaving them with little to do.

Hacan and Xxcha in third with 4 apiece. Hacan didn't really do much interesting, just spent infinite money to build up a giant fleet but that was no help with invasions, and was too late anyway. Xxcha built a fucking wall of PDS (6 total in a ring around Mec Rex, plus the flagship for 8), which prevented me from reinforcing with ships, but I think made taking it too dangerous for anyone else to consider. He also really fucked over Hacan early, blocking his movement with a cruiser move T1 onto tile 27.
