White Blue Control isn't exactly the strongest deck in the meta right now and since it's Magic even the best deck doesn't have a 100% win rate because of stuff like sideboards and bad draws.

This said, Jesus Christ… what infuriating deck to play against.

I'm sure there were worse decks to play against but this is the one I know and thus the one I hate.

Teferi can go back to his time bubble and never go back for all I care.

Not all games lore is handled equally. I feel when the game is based on a written IP the lore usually end up more solid. The games also usually play safe by adding (and killing) disposable characters with no real ties to big names like Vader or Gandalf.

However, when the IP is purely game-centric and just grew too big over the year with multiple writers funny thing happens. The best example which comes to my mind is Blizzard IPs which seen to have lots or «lorelols» and there is this feeling of the history being written (or rewritten) as it goes.

I can't fault someone writing a «wrong» quest line with contradictory lore when the relevant information is spread among 10+ years of games, books, and comics. That's why I take most video game lore with grains of salt no matter how official it saves a few exceptions.

…and then Kirby ate her and stole her powers.

Later he was seen repeating the phrase «Hi, my name is Daisy».

This comic may either be a nice idea or a very stupid one.

Either way, Gwent is fucked.

I'm already thinking how Angie will punish Alison for this move but until then enjoy your new host.

And for those confused, the silver-haired girl is from this game.

I'll not hide it, I think Yu-Gi-Oh is a terrible card game which I believe would have no relevance if wasn't because of the anime.

I enjoyed the anime thou, or at least admired how they tried to make it more or less faithful to the card game.

Plus it gave us THE HEART OF THE CARDS.

For those who don't get the whale thing, «whales» are what are called players who spend big money on a game. Those kind of players are the main source of income in some of those games and it's said some companies even make games specifically targetting that kind of players.

Some whales are just rich people with extra disposable income, but many times are people with little self-control who goes on debt because they wanted an extra resource to finish some building on a shitty mobile game.

I won't sleep easily at night if I worked on that kind of stuff.

Artifact is out… kinda. It's on open beta but for all purposes, the game is released. You can start giving Gaben money now if so you wish and most of the features are live.

The reception has been what I expected. Lots of people bickering about the cost of entry and with some complains about the game complexity.

If you are a rich genius I guess this is the game for you and this is cool, rich geniuses need games too.

I think I have 2 more strips about the card game shenanigans than we are back to our regular schedule.

Been looking for a mech / tank building game like TerraCorp or Besiege so if you know of any, give me a tip.

Also, photonotes are broken right now, hopefully we'll get them back working in the future so you guys can «mine» again.

At some point, Gwent devs decided to scrap the game and remake it.

Honestly, I respect the decision because while I really enjoyed some of the early versions, having 6 lanes total made the game very cramped. It was simply not a nice game to watch, especially after you have seen what Artifact and Magic Arena been doing.

CD Projekt decided to «go big or go home» but sadly seen they went home. The new game with just 4 lanes and some new mechanics didn't prove popular enough and lots of goodwill was lost. Coupled with Magic Arena and Artifact hitting the market they never recovered.

Not saying it's a bad game at all, but they share the room with several others card games now and simply didn't made enough splash to take a big share of the market.
