card games lol

Card games card games card games... That's all I hear about now a days, but only because my brother loves yugioh and plays it with other people at school on a daily basis. I used to have a deck, but it's idea was to make my opponent lose his cards (like a whole deck of cards in about 4 to 5 turns and basically lose by running out of cards.)

Heh heh, but even then, I don't think card games are that popular anymore. Deck destruction decks are interesting. But to do that in 4 to 5 turns, that must be one fierce combo.

My decks are usually beatdown decks. But I can only end my opponent in 5 turns if I am really lucky.

Hey guys, anyone else play Yugioh using Yugioh Virtual Desktop? We could play sometimes!

I've never heard of that, what is it?

It is a program that let you play Yugioh!

Here is the link! You only need to download YVD 9.1 to play, just remember to update the set first. A user manual is included, it is in its folder after you installed it!

I plan to make a thread for this someday, and maybe hold a local tournament or something.

Gah, everyone here plays Yu-Gi-Oh!. *grumbles*

Sorry, Sleet! Magic happened to be a card game I don't play! I can play Pokemon cards though, even though I am probably incredibly rusty by now. And I also play poker, Texas Hold'Em to be exact.

[Sleet]

Oh! That reminds me, I can post my Pokémon decks. None of us remember the rules on "___'s [Pokémon]" evolving, so things might be wrong with that respect.

...Wow, looking through these decks, I've got bling.

Energy:
30x Fire Energy

Fire Pokémon:
1x Vulpix (Mysterious Treasures; holographic)
2x Blaine's Vulpix (Gym Challenge, one is first edition)
1x Ninetales (Base Set; holographic)
3x Growlithe (Base Set)
1x Arcanine (Base Set)
1x Arcanine (Promo #6)
3x Blaine's Magmar (Gym Heroes)
1x Magmortar (Mysterious Treasures; holographic)
2x Rocket's Moltres (Gym Heroes; both holographic, one first edition)
1x Blaine's Moltres (Gym Heroes; holographic)

Colorless Pokémon:
2x Clefairy (Base Set, both holographic)
1x Clefable (Jungle)
2x Doduo (Base Set)
1x Dodrio (Mysterious Treasures)

Trainers:
2x Potion (Base Set)
2x Energy Search (Fossil)
1x Super Energy Retrieval (Neo Genesis; first edition)
1x Blaine (Gym Challenge)
1x Ferver (Gym Challenge; first edition)

It's mostly based around burning the cuss out of everything, particularly with Blaine's Magmar, who can do a ton of damage considering how this deck uses so much fire energy relative to most decks.

Other deck:

17x Electric Energy
8x Grass Energy
4x Water Energy
1x Rainbow Energy (holographic)

Electric Pokémon:
3x Pikachu (Jungle)

Trainers:

1x Energy Retrieval (Base Set)
3x Energy Search (Fossil)

Stadiums:
1x Lake Boundary (Mysterious Treasures)

This one is about hitting benched Pokémon and trying to take down the whole team more or less at once. Apparently I kind of went overboard with the energy here too.

I loved playing Pokémon back when I was little, but nowadays it is so much less elegant than Magic is. I don't think I'd ever be able to play it seriously again, except for novelty purposes.

[Vespier Leo]

Sorry to break the chain here, But does anyone still play with regular cards? I am a master of many games with standard playing cards, including any kind of poker you could name.. I am at a loss, however, when it comes to any other kind of cards...

Let the ridicule begin....

[Sleet]

NO, REAL CARD GAMES HAVE PICTURES OF MAGICAL CREATURES ON THE CARDS.

I play poker and other assorted gambling card games casually with my friends sometimes, but none of us are particularly talented (though I have one friend who's getting there). Then sometimes we play mau, which is a ridiculous but awesome game.

[Vespier Leo]

I have honestly never heard of mau, Though if it involves Playing cards then I could learn it fast. Other cards.... not so much...

[Sleet]

It does. Usually 2-4 decks shuffled together. There are several ways to play mau. It's basically like Uno, only there is no talking allowed and the dealer has some rules which must be followed, or else you're given a card and told what you did or failed to do. The catch is the dealer does not tell anyone the rules, so they have to learn them. The other way involves the dealer switching every game, and each new dealer adds a new rule, so the game gets more and more complex. It's a lot of fun but it's not exactly an intense test of strategy.

That's it in a nutshell, anyway.

[Aquablast]

Like I said, I play poker too. Even though I mostly play Texas Hold'Em, I can still play other variations like Seven-card stud and Five-card draw. Other than that, I can also play Blackjack.

I can play well against inexperienced players who tend to rush or play aggressively, since I usually play it safe. But not so well against experienced players, since it is quite obvious that I play safe. /: I could change gears, but I never felt comfortable doing that.

I actually managed to wipe out a nine-men (including myself) table once. But that's because I got lucky, since both me and my last standing opponent lost our patient. >_> It was the 60th round or something...

I sometimes play UNO too, but only with my friends. Since they don't like poker and don't have any Pokemon cards or Yugioh cards.

And here is my real life Pokemon deck, with no real strategy at all!

Energy: (27)
25x Basic Electric Energy
2x Double Colorless Energy

Trainer: (14)
1x Professor Oak (Base)
2x Bill (Base)
3x Energy Removal (Base)
1x Super Energy Removal (Base)
1x Energy Retrieval (Base)
2x Heal Powder (Neo Destiny)
2x Old Rod (Neo Revelation)
2x Pokemon Breeder Fields (Neo Revelation)

Colorless Pokemon: (5)
1x Kangaskhan (Jungle; holographic)
3x Eevee (Jungle)
1x Snorlax (Base)

Electric Pokemon: (14)
1x Light Jolteon (Neo Destiny)
1x Zapdos (Base; holographic)
1x Pikachu (Base, 40HP Lv.12)

3x Magnemite (Base)
1x Magneton (Base; holographic)
3x Voltorb (Base)

I am not sure which series the medal logo represent, so I just assumed it is base too... >_>

[Sleet]

I just looked them up on Bulbapedia when I didn't know the expansion.

About card games I only play Poker and Conquian. Neither very good playing both.

[Enty]

Gah, everyone here plays Yu-Gi-Oh!. *grumbles*

Bet they don't play it on motorcycles.

[Sleet]

I hope not. Card games on motorcycles? That's just ridiculous.

[Penwrite]

I hope not. Card games on motorcycles? That's just ridiculous.

Indeed. Now excuse me while I go spike up my hair with 10 gallons of hair gel, grab my ancient Egyptian artifact that by all rights should be in a museum, and save the world with a children's card game.

[Sleet]

I just hope no one shoots you with an invisible gun.

[Enty]

Also, look out for Anime Ving Rhames. He's vicious.

[Penwrite]

Okay, I get the invisible guns thing, but Anime Ving Rhames?

[Enty]

From the second YGOTAS Movie.

[Dissension]

Back on topic.

[Penwrite]

I'd argue the point that talking about the anime of a card game is on topic, but I'd rather not.

For a while I played Magic: the Gathering and loved it. My favorite color was black, followed closely by red. Incidentally, my favorite tactic is milling the opponent. :3

Ooh! That gives me an idea for a Housepets! fanfic...

[Dissension]

1. There are anime threads for discussing anime series, this is a thread for card games. Shows are not games, despite that one show in particular focuses on a card game.

2. Arguing with mods is never a good idea, so congrats on not taking the stupid road.

[Vespier Leo]

The toughest card game you will ever play is solitare. There is no winning method, only luck...

[CaptainPea]

My friends always beat me when they play me in solitaire!

yes of course I'm kidding

Yay, I'm not stupid!

Anywho, you guys will not believe how many times I've started a game of Solitaire, and ended up not having any moves to pull! Grahh! Has that happened to anyone else, or am I just reeeaaally unlucky?

[CoffeeJunkie]

That's happened to me countless times

[Vespier Leo]

To me as well, though I usually play with real cards and not on the computer...

Aww, why don't you still play it?

I like white, followed by blue, so we're pretty much the opposite ends of the color pie. Milling is primarily blue, by the way.

[Vespier Leo]

You have covered both ends of the magic schools, In reference to the pracitce not the card game...

I still assurt my position that Solitare is the hardest standard card game....

[Sleet]

Well we're referring to the card game. There's actually five schools of magic, but our favorites are enemy-aligned, as are our second-favorites.

(The fifth is green if anyone' curious.)

Well, I still enjoy the game, but it's just so hard and expensive to keep up with the expansions, ya know? Oh and yeah, I know milling is primarily blue, that's my third-favorite color. But, hehe, black's real big on destroying the hand! I just love it! =D

[Sleet]

If you're willing to play over PMs, I'll gladly challenge you. :3

I actually have a blue/black deck focused on drawing and making opponents discard. Attack 'em from both sides, I say! If you like black and milling, you'd probably be happy to see this card from the newest set.

My colors go white > blue > red > green > black. Gameplay-wise, anyway. Philosophically it'd be more white > blue > green > red > black.

Right, I have three things to say. One, that card you linked me was awesome. Two, I'd gladly play you, but it might take a bit for me to scrounge my old deck up. X3 And three, you are awesome for having a Rocky gravatar. =D

[Sleet]

Alright, just PM me if you'd like to play.

And thanks. Two of my avatars are actually named Rocky. But I'm sure you're talking about the one from the better webcomic.

[Penwrite]

And now I'm looking at a cute, blue fox thing!
I'd meant the Lackadaisy one earlier, hehe. Anyways, sure, I'll send ya a PM when I'm ready.

[Alex M.]

Theres purple in Magic?

[Sleet]

Nope, just those five. There actually almost was a purple a few years ago, but the design team decided it was a bad idea.

And now I'm looking at a cute, blue fox thing!

(She's a bat.)

[Alex M.]

Then Magic is not for me

[Sleet]

You can always just play with red and blue. They're really fun together.

[Vespier Leo]

Accually there are seven colors of magic. They are white, blue, green, yellow, red, black, and gray....

I know next to nothing about the card game magic.....

[Sleet]

Well at least you know there are only five colors of magic! Those seven minus yellow and gray.

[Vespier Leo]

Well that is a start I suppose, but do the colors mean the same thing in the game as they do in the practice?

[Sleet]

Probably not, especially since I don't even know which "the practice" you mean, but they definitely mean something in the game.
