Say whatever you want, but try to talk about stuff rather than just being a complete and utter goof. Keep in mind that while this thread has no official topic and there is no character minimum here

What about creativity? I don't wanna just take the entire structure of MtG and repaint it.

You'd be re-doing a lot of cards, I'm sure somewhere down the line you'd find a way to do it if there is a way.

Any TCG needs about 300-400 cards to work in the first place on top of the core system so that it has enough complexity to be fun.

 

Creativity is fine and all but sometimes you just need to have something that works.

Making card game rules out of thin air is hard work and shitton of playtesting.

 

 

Block? 

Block is what MtG calls it's expansions. Because they sold them Expansions in "Blocks" long time ago. Name stuck, blocks did not.

Block?

It's almost the fancy terms for the setting of the MtG card. Innistrad block means the card is on the Innistrad realm and so on :o

GCT block does have this nice ring to it

Rather doubt we need that many cards 3lnNF.png

 

100 or so should be enough

That makes a lot of sense. I'll have my team begin production sometime this week. We might actually have a lot to work with.

Was it because of the packaging?

There is a reason all Starting sets for every TCG is 300 or so. :P

Just as Planned.

Yep. They still sell them in blocks after a fashion but they are not proper "Blocks" of the ye olden times.

You forgot to put into account that we are hardly the most productive bunch n3WKz.png

I'm sure we would need at least eight months if we have to make the 300 cards to be actually balanced.

I think you could do some retard variation of MtG with few adjustments.
MtG is confrontational and ponies should be not if you go with the feel of it.
Cut the defense and re-gear it towards co-operation.


Or make it play against a third party Antagonist deck that works by rules.

Then you could maybe do with 80 or so and you could actually consider making it individual cards.
Also revamp the mana system since it's powerplay focused.

Oh that is so wrong.

Hm... No talking about warning points. This point is kinda vague :c

 

At least they got the banner faq up in there

Like the old system Banding then? :o

There is this new ability that works like pairing, I guess that should works

Ah

 

I thought you were talking about the Past Sins one :blush:

 

No, I mean remove the whole "play against another player" thing.

What n3WKz.png

 

Hm, so there should be a pre-set enemies for the players to fight against with, and there is a co-op available then? Sounds like a good idea...

 

But how the living blaze should you automate the enemy in TCG? 3lnNF.png

 

Oh, hey Star! What's up? Just curious, but have you checked the latest posts in the mystery RP? After Berry's post came mine, Key's, and Magicon's, in that order :P Curious on your thoughts on the posts

Uh... I'm still trying to figure out what to post in my RP. Sorry AhGSr.png

I'll get to the trixie train a bit later.

Make it an Creature only deck that always get's one mana per turn.

Enemy powerplays, you need to rely on your partner for Co-Operation bonuses to stay in game and eventually win.

Automating pre-sets is easy.

 

Thing is to make it interesting.

...That's actually a creepy way to play something. With the cards being randomized like that, I'm afraid all it takes is bad opening hand and you're doomed.

 

Soooo, does that mean that should I ever get another excessive vulgarity warning I can't yell about it in a very vulgar and swear filled way in here even though I'm not actually mad at all?

No idea \(°□°)/

 

I will try to clear things up in the thread. Hopefully they can give a clear answer.

A trading card game? I'm in, but let's make the entire forum a card game, and have expansion packs for each area of the place.
Each expansion pack gets 6 characters (Might bump up to 8), 2 special cards for each character, and 3 group specific action cards.

Expansion packs for the MLP Forums Trading Card Game

 

Staff Pack
Characters: Feld0, Scootacool, Zoop, Chaotic Discord, NewCalamity and Aureity
Group actions: Lock, Ban and I can't think of what else to add here

GCT Pack
Need help making this bit. :3
 

Each member should have a special ability. Like Jay can bend reality or something like that.

 

Jay would be a hard one to do. He's full of random physic changes and objects.


My two special cards:

Gravity well
Creates a throwable ball of pure gravity that prevents a targeted enemy from attacking for two turns.
Attracts enemy projectiles for two turns.

Twist
Turns the entire battlefield upside down.
Disables any plantable specials.
Any character that isn't airborne at the time recieves 10 damage points from falling to the ceiling.

That solves it faster.

Righty, I'm gonna head off to bed.

Hopefully, tomorrow will be some kind of awesome.

Night, and sleep tight! :P
