Inuyasha Fan Tips/Rants/Ideas Counter response by Matthew Low mlowdbz-pojo@yahoo.com - Pojo Writer, Scrye Freelance Writer, among other magazines - Inuyasha TCG Playtester, Score Entertainment May 26, 2006 Response to an article posted on May 4th by Chibi
What Are You
Doing?
Original Effect:
Play this card when
attacked. Stop the attack. The attacking character
readies. Limit 1 copy per deck.
New Effect:
Play this card when
attacked and only if your opponent controls more
shards than you. Stop the attack. The attacking
character readies. (*) Limit 1 copy per deck.
*Obviously, the part
in bold is where the effect is changed.* Now, how broken
was this card when it first came out with the original
effect? It wasn't too broken.
>> Alright Justin,
explain to me how this scenario ISN'T broken.
I'm playing Spawn,
you're playing something, doesn't matter too much.
Turn 1: I'm first. I
drop Naraku, Deceptive Demon and Kagura, Follower of
Naraku turn 1.
You drop two guys
turn one.
I attack with Naraku
then Kagura, putting me at a 7-3 lead going into turn 2.
Turn 2: You drop two
more guys. Let's give you the benefit of the doubt and
let you have all 4 characters on the field.
I drop Kanna, Soul
Stealer (double shards w/ Kagura) and... Muso, Heart of
Onigumo (matters not).
You attack with a
guy, I play What Are You Doing?. GG, I swing with Naraku
then Kagura and steal three shards due to Kanna, winning
just like that.
And that's only one
simple example of how WAYD was broken beyond belief.
Stupid turn 1/2 wins that don't deserve to happen just
because someone draws the brokes and hits their turn 1
combo. It's a lucksack draw card, pure and simple. It
turns the tide of the game around and completely
destroys the game, letting the luckier person win.
<<Personally, I liked
that better, and I think I speak this for everyone, but
HOW COULD THEY REDO THE EFFECT?!?
>>
You speak for everyone who doesn't play this game at a high level. Anyone who has played this game at a higher level knows how broken that card was, and when big money is on the line, no one likes losing to it. Especially not me. <<
It already had a back
effect, which is to re-ready the opponent's character.
Not only that, you could only have 1 in a deck. Why not
just add 3 instead?!? Why did they have to add the extra
effect?!? It's just plain retarded...don't you think?
That was just something pretty stupid...I see this game
turning into something like the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG. Pretty
disappointing...=\
>> Dude, we fixed the
card to where it's not stupid and now you're comparing
the game to Yu-Gi-Oh. That's the smartest thing I've
ever heard (sarcasm intended). Making the card limit 3
makes the game even more of a lucksack game, where
everyone has to WAYD turn 1/2 in order to win or even
stand a chance. Staples are bad for the game, and the
fact that this is no longer a staple helps it. Killing
staples makes the game LESS like Yu-Gi-Oh. The problem
with this staple is that it was broken beyond belief.
Making it so you have to use it while losing gives decks
like Mill something to work with, and letting the
character make it a little more fair. And no more of
lucksacking into this card and winning when you really
shouldn't have. <<
On the Move
Original Effect:
Play this card when
attacking or when attacked. Gain +5 to any color for
that attack. Limit 1 copy per deck.
New Effect:
Play this card
when attacking. Gain +5 to any color for this
attack. Limit 1 copy per deck.
Well, this sucks as
much as the last one. Okay, first of all, who told them
that they could ruin such a great ultra rare?
>>While this card
isn't as broken as WAYD (you can argue both ways), it's
still lucksacking stupid. <<
Now what defense
cards do we have left?!? It's too downgraded now! I
can't think of much defense cards for certain decks,
other than Three's Company and Spawn.
>>
... Sigh. Let's take this from the top:
- I play Three's
Company and we have no good defensive cards. If you're
talking about Play Time, that card should never fit in
any good Three's deck. It's utterly horrible.
- Spawn has what to
help it defensively?
- Defensive cards
should be left to the decks that are inherently
defensive. Hero Mains using Backlash Wave, My Hero, and
They're So Cute and Slideshow using the standard subset
cards are more than enough. And of course, you can run
In Command and I Didn't Say Get Naked! if you want
defense.
- Defensive cards
ruin the game if they're open to all decks and they're
overly powerful. IDSGN is ok because their's only one
and you can work around it (-2 isn't a big deal, +5 is).
Besides, you target the opposing character, which
doesn't work on some characters. In Command is annoying
but does waste a lot of deck/hand, so you have to decide
if the tie is worth the cost/deck space. That there is
more than enough defense. Any more universal defensive
cards ruin the game. <<
This is just...ew...well,
at least now I could use it for offense when I need it.
>> You have me to
thank for that. <<
I wouldn't have to
worry about using for defense as much anymore since we
can't use it in that way. =\ Oh well...I guess it's
going to be another Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG type of card
game...rules keep changing.
>> Rules keep
changing because they were broken to begin with. Rest
assured that the play testing team is working hard to
make the game as perfect as it can be, and problems
should shrink as time goes by.
I just ask that you
please do your research before you go off and bashing
about things that you apparently know nothing about.
Play people that play this game at a high level, and
you'll see that both WAYD and OTM are just crazy unfair
cards that make people win when they don't deserve it.
It screws initiative and you get a 2 shard differential,
enough to easily win. Bashing the game for making it
better is not a smart thing
I hope that you don't
take this in the wrong way. I welcome to see you at
AnimeExpo this year, and hope that you understand the
points to my arguments.
