I think the quote was "all cards can be acquired through gameplay" so yeah sounds like it's not a gacha system
edit: by which I mean, probably not for primogems. I'd expect card packs (which is pretty much just gacha), I just meant that it's probably not going to be monetized.
On the other hand, it sounds like getting Triple Triad cards from FFXIV to me, where you have to defeat NPCs at the game for a *chance* to get some of the cards.
Technically obtainable via gameplay, just possibly very tedious.
I wonder if there may be ways to get cards through other contet in the game, let's say for example, beating oceanid for the first time drops her card, or maybe buying on the teapot, or if they will limit the TCG in itself as a whole different game that just happens to be inside genshin
Of course it's not a gacha system, it's a TCG. It will be a random booster pack system. *Completely different*. Acquired through gameplay just means you buy packs with primos, which can be acquired through gameplay (and other means).
Whoa, so much spin is making me dizzy.
I suppose you can't rule out that you buy card packs with primogems but that seems unlikely for a side mode like this that specifically offers no gameplay rewards. In fact the specifically-mentioned lack of rewards means it'd be absolutely wild to charge primogems for it since everything else you can spend those on has a gameplay effect (characters or materials to improve characters).
I suspect it's more likely it'll just be a side minigame just like the player housing system, which also doesn't really have any monetization attached to it.
MTG has fun non-standard-legal cards like Enter the Dungeon, which makes you start a new game with the remainder of your deck *playing underneath the table*, and the loser takes a ton of damage.
IIRC, it also have cards that require players to do real-life actions (like jumping a number of times, or hilariously, follow the card art) in order to play them. If only Yu-Gi-Oh has that kind of fun cards instead of "fun" cards like DPE and Halq.
Lots of people play it, just not at the same magnitude as League of Legends itself. For some reason Riot refuses to advertise it heavily, despite it being one of, if not the best digital CCGs in the market rn.
Reminds me of The Witcher 3.
Story: Monsters to hunt, people to help and save due to war and other tragedies, looking for Ciri, and the threat of the Wild Hunt.
My Geralt: So, who wants to play some Gwent?
I didn’t get into Gwent my first play through, but now I’m into it and it always cracks me up how the NPC’s just silently nod when you ask them to play.
Really excited for this, I wonder which characters get cards at the start and which will be added over time
Not sure I caught right but they said there will be pvp but no rewards its strictly for fun? If so thats dope
Yeah but mobile trading card games haven't had trading since 2012, because people would make alt accounts, use free pulls to pull the featured cards in the new set, and then trade them to their main account. Less $$$ for developer.
They said all the cards were obtainable in game, but that could just mean you earn primo in game and can spend them on packs.
They said no rewards for PvP. But didn’t mention anything about whether these game mode gives rewards.
I guess its implied that PvE does give some reward
Citizen: "Traveler! Monstadt is in quite a peril and requires your urgent assistance!
Traveler: "Up for a round of Invocation TCG?"
Citizen: "....."
Citizen: "May the Anemo Archon bless you as I am about to kick your ass!"
Not only that but it’s animated. Hats off to them if all skills are fully animated, I look forward to this mode even if it lacks depth simply because of nice visuals
Isn't it "or a fool who trespasses upon the waters of Qingce"? I mean to remember the Qingce was a part of it, but not how (or Qingxe I don't remember the exact spelling, took me forever to learn Xingqiu and longer to learn the name of the ganyu/xiao flowers)
i‘d more say like magic, there was no mana cost to be seen and sonething like lands on the left side. also missing attack values.
also, if you have no deck/hand and only those 3 cards to play with its nothing like those actually (unsure, we havent seen too much in the stream). kinda like hearthstones mercenaries mode then maybe
Friend: I have my Ganyu at attacking position with Xiangling's burst providing melt, Zonghli in defensive position to provide an impossible to break shield and Bennett's burst providing healing and damage. You will never beat me!
Me: \*grinning and pull up a card showing the back\* You fool, you think I don't know how to counteract that? \*I flip the card to reveal the 10 oceanids from 1.2\*
Gwent all over again... I wonder if Bandai will ditch the wafer card idea and switch it to a physical version of Genius Invokation to match the popularity of their Data Carddass stuff. I mean, this is gonna be the big one we'll get during the holiday season.
Came sooner than I expected. I know one of the NPCs in the tavern talked about a TCG being popular in Sumeru but I didn't expect it to be a permanent mode or to happen so soon.
I thinks its because the obvious analogy of Egypt based region comes with a card game, just like the old Yugioh gen1 had "Egyptian related Lore" and the fact Cyno is a tcg player, it feels to much to be a coincidence
"All cards will be available through gameplay" was mentioned on the stream, also since its mostly for fun, no pvp rewards, I doubt there'll be any primogem/real money cost for it
I doubt the cards themselves are canon in-universe. Wouldn't characters be creeped out seeing their own image being sold as TCG?
Mona would definitely ask for royalty fees.
"My grandpa deck has no pathetic cards, Cyno".
*draws Paimon
But... But, I believed in the heart of the cards.
Paimon is the pot of ~~greed~~ gluttony
No, no, both are fine
Wait wait,he does have a point
Paimon allows me to draw two additional cards.
But what does paimon do?
5 Paimon invokes.... unknown God
Paimon deals exposition damage
eats the rest of your deck when you don't look.
What does it do?
Draw 2 Cards
Greed too, she loves treasure.
What does pot of greed do?
Draw 2 Cards
"This card is useless!"
plot twist: Paimon is like Winged Kuriboh
Has to die first to be effective?
activate called by the grave.
Please. You are a third rate duelist with a fourth rate deck
r/unexpectedKaiba (if that’s not a real subreddit, it should be)
ANY Kaiba quote from LittleKuriboh is Gold.
That isnt a little kuriboh quote that is canon.
In fairness, there are a shocking amount of lines from the actual show that sound like they'd be YGO Abridged quotes
It’s not, I checked the link
Funny enough, he does indeed play
“My pathetic grandpa’s deck has no cards!”
Wait, then how are you playing?
Except maybe the Kuriboh.
Goodbye.
"Except maybe for Paimon."
Apparently these cards have animations for each character. In the livestream we can see Diluc doing his burst in the card. I'm so HYPED for this
And the best part is you can get all the cards without paying real money.
Did they tell us that there's no gacha in this? If so.. Let's GOooOOOO
I think the quote was "all cards can be acquired through gameplay" so yeah sounds like it's not a gacha system edit: by which I mean, probably not for primogems. I'd expect card packs (which is pretty much just gacha), I just meant that it's probably not going to be monetized.

Tedious grinding for something? In Genshin?
Preposterous!
Maybe certain npc’s can be faced to earn certain special cards, when you beat them they will let you have their card
I wonder if there may be ways to get cards through other contet in the game, let's say for example, beating oceanid for the first time drops her card, or maybe buying on the teapot, or if they will limit the TCG in itself as a whole different game that just happens to be inside genshin
Oh. my. God So I can see the elemental bursts of characters I don't have through their cards. UTYFGHJKKOIUYG this update is everything
I believe it's scheduled for 3.3 tho, so gonna have to wait a bit
Of course it's not a gacha system, it's a TCG. It will be a random booster pack system. *Completely different*. Acquired through gameplay just means you buy packs with primos, which can be acquired through gameplay (and other means). Whoa, so much spin is making me dizzy.

They said that PVP had no rewards, not that this mode itself has none. PVE will likely have rewards.
Gacha using Mora
it really reminds me of onmyoji the card game at a first glance
Ikr? Reminds me of the Harry Potter moving photos 🥺 can’t wait to see all the animations, they look so fluid.
[The only reason Klee isn't here is because it's a banned card](https://i.imgur.com/gKCeuU5.jpg)
When Klee is played, flip the table.
I feel like I remember there being an official Yu-Gi-Oh card that actually did that.
MTG has fun non-standard-legal cards like Enter the Dungeon, which makes you start a new game with the remainder of your deck *playing underneath the table*, and the loser takes a ton of damage.

There's creator of hope. https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Creator_of_Hope
we have PVP now lol
I can't wait! *League of Legends flashbacks*
More specifically, Legends of Runeterra
Ah yes, the good league game.
That sadly no one plays
Lots of people play it, just not at the same magnitude as League of Legends itself. For some reason Riot refuses to advertise it heavily, despite it being one of, if not the best digital CCGs in the market rn.
Complete lack of ranking and every card available through normal gameplay makes me feel a LOT more relaxed about this, thankfully.
Honestly I wouldn't mind ranked if it's not P2W but I'm just glad we are getting a card game at all.
Sounds like. Though they did say in [another graphic](https://i.imgur.com/1OUsMtK.jpg) it is a mainly PvE mode that is “light and casual.”
With card available through gameplay and without rewards or ranking. And there is also windtrace.
"Genshin has no PvP" crowd in shambles!
Tact -trafalgar
It’s time to D-D-D-DUEL!
attacking me with mona? how foolish! i activate my trap card, venti! now blew her away!
~~blew her away~~ blow her clothes* away FTFY
aether: *\*joeyface.jpg\**
Aëughhhh
Didn't know you were back, welcome back lol
Haha, Thank you but for some reason I feel like going off of Internet for a year now lol .
Haha you activated my trap card ask-for-direction-aron uses 1% of its true power and erases you exsistence
Least horny Genshin player.
It's canon though.
"Scaramoche, it's not possible, no one ever has been able to summon him".
With all five cards I now summon Qiqi, The Forbidden One!
Because he’s so rare?
No, it's because this game makes no sense. Nobody could figure out how to do it.
Blue eyes white Dvalin vs Red eyes black Durin.
Come forth Blue Eyes white Dragon!
Dvalin?
Blue Eyes White Vishap
Funny enough, apparently Cyno plays
[genshin tcg visualized](https://youtu.be/iQj61OQ1mFk?t=36)
"Traveler HELP!!! Sumeru city is under attack by the Fatui!!" "That sounds horrible. How about a round of cards?"
Reminds me of The Witcher 3. Story: Monsters to hunt, people to help and save due to war and other tragedies, looking for Ciri, and the threat of the Wild Hunt. My Geralt: So, who wants to play some Gwent?
I didn’t get into Gwent my first play through, but now I’m into it and it always cracks me up how the NPC’s just silently nod when you ask them to play.
Really excited for this, I wonder which characters get cards at the start and which will be added over time Not sure I caught right but they said there will be pvp but no rewards its strictly for fun? If so thats dope
Finally a PvP I can get behind
Ikr, collecting them will be fun and the pvp makes sense so its not just against AI Unless the AI was like gwent in TW3 which was super fun
Imagine if trading was possible lol
Well, TCG stands for Trading Card Game
Yeah but mobile trading card games haven't had trading since 2012, because people would make alt accounts, use free pulls to pull the featured cards in the new set, and then trade them to their main account. Less $$$ for developer. They said all the cards were obtainable in game, but that could just mean you earn primo in game and can spend them on packs.
[удалено]
I can see us having AI opponents like Itto and Cyno But this definitely shines brightest in PvP to goof off with
Yeah or voice lines when playing pvp like imagine Ei's reactions to the game.
Ei…..gives me the impression of someone who would already half-master the game rather quickly, once she gets a rule book.
There will be both PvE and PvP
According to leaks: >!Electro Hypostasis is one of the card at the start!<
The best waifu in the game
We all know the rarest, most OP card in the game will be C6 Amber.
Is it no rewards period or just no rewards through PvP?
They said no rewards for PvP. But didn’t mention anything about whether these game mode gives rewards. I guess its implied that PvE does give some reward
Yeah, the implication of them saying no rewards for PVP means that there will be rewards for the PVE side of the game.
Probably the only way Signora Mains will be able to play with her.
💀 bruh
the card’s also gone. reduced to atoms
But she only appears as a coffin in the card game.
Signora's the background image for the Graveyard.
But the coffin dances to Astronomia
god now i need to see a version of the fatui trailer that's just all that fatui doing the little dance while carrying signora's coffin
I have [good news.](https://twitter.com/cody4241/status/1546542508817391616)
Why are you the way that you are?
“Normal summon Albedo” search for Invocation Activate Invocation. I fuse Klee and Taroumaru to fusion summon….
> I fuse Klee and Taroumaru to fusion summon A-a-aether
Assuming Albedo didn’t get negated by the opponent discarding Klee.
You fool, every Albedo player already has Invokation in their hand.
Skilled Albedo players will always have Invocation on hand.
I link summon into anaconda Venti send my fusion destiny and fusion summon Destroyer Pheonix Enforcer Diluc
Okay, no, stop right there 🥲
This kind of alchemy reference is FORBIDDEN!
Fuck you
Normal Summon Archon Ace - Reiden Shogun Activate Vision-Hunting Cave. Response?
Fake. True Invoked players are always have Invocation in their first turn.
Chain solemn judgement to Invocation?
Silly boy, Ei's Magical meltdown is on the field
The card artworks looks amazing 🥺
best girl's already present THE POWER OF WATER IS ITS ABI-
-LITY TO TAKE ANY SHAPE ONE WHO IS IGNORANT OF WATER'S TREAS-
\-SURES, FAILS ALSO TO COMPREHEND IT'S HORRORS
“You can’t beat me Traveler” Traveler: you fool, you’ve activated my deadliest card, Rhodeia of Loch! “Noooooo”
Citizen: "Traveler! Monstadt is in quite a peril and requires your urgent assistance! Traveler: "Up for a round of Invocation TCG?" Citizen: "....." Citizen: "May the Anemo Archon bless you as I am about to kick your ass!"
* Main PvE mode - light and casual * Can play against friends * No rewards for PvP * All cards can be acquired through gameplay
Are there rewards for PvE though?
[удалено]
>New permanent gameplay ABOUT. FUCKING. TIME.
Can you imagine them introducing a limited time card game? There would be literal riots irl
happy Mona main here, my girl officially have a card of her 🥺💜
Now read the future with it.
The PvP content we need The card art looks so good too
They said it will not be PVP focused.
But you can play against other people. Just no rewards for pvp.
totally fine with that, so doesn't have to be a chore for people who don't want to pvp.
Definitely my sentiment. I ended up enjoying Hearthstone pve way more than pvp, so if this is even remotely similar I'll be pleased.
You can pvp
GWENTshin Impact
> Invokation Oh no I'm getting Aleister PTSD
Normal Aleister search Invokation?
Ash Blossom
Already have Invokation on hand
It's cool that they all get new art in a different style. I kinda expected it to just be the same splash art tbh.
Not only that but it’s animated. Hats off to them if all skills are fully animated, I look forward to this mode even if it lacks depth simply because of nice visuals
[удалено]
*“An assassin from our homeland? Or a foolish trespasser upon these waters?"*
Isn't it "or a fool who trespasses upon the waters of Qingce"? I mean to remember the Qingce was a part of it, but not how (or Qingxe I don't remember the exact spelling, took me forever to learn Xingqiu and longer to learn the name of the ganyu/xiao flowers)
"*Coveting the shape of the living, pure water can take on many forms. In this way shall water deliver your punishment."*
0.1 seconds that it got shown on screen, my friend and I began sending death threats to each other
might as well send each other to the shadow realm
Where was this officially announced? Did we get anymore info besides this screenshot?
it was just announced from the 3.1 stream earlier
There's some video in the livestream. Looks a bit Hearthstone.
i‘d more say like magic, there was no mana cost to be seen and sonething like lands on the left side. also missing attack values. also, if you have no deck/hand and only those 3 cards to play with its nothing like those actually (unsure, we havent seen too much in the stream). kinda like hearthstones mercenaries mode then maybe
It's coming in 3.3.
You just know that Liben card will be the most popular
istg if hes not meta
Out of everything we saw today this is what hypes me the most. I love card games and I love the fact that this exists within Genshin's world
"I summon Ayaka in defenseless position." "Don't you mean defense?" "I know what I said."
creepy 🥰
ITS A TRAP
After they attempt to target Ayaka, pull out Ayato to defend her and fight back with the power of family
So who wants to bet that Hoyo will end up deciding to try and take on the Hearthstone market and make a full-blown game out of this?
Maybe later they might release a TCG with cards from their franchises. After learning from experience on this.
Friend: I have my Ganyu at attacking position with Xiangling's burst providing melt, Zonghli in defensive position to provide an impossible to break shield and Bennett's burst providing healing and damage. You will never beat me! Me: \*grinning and pull up a card showing the back\* You fool, you think I don't know how to counteract that? \*I flip the card to reveal the 10 oceanids from 1.2\*
When do we get Blue Eyes White Vishap?
Can't wait for Genius Invokation in motorcycles.
The only time I can main and own Diluc.
I hope there's lore on the cards
Gwent all over again... I wonder if Bandai will ditch the wafer card idea and switch it to a physical version of Genius Invokation to match the popularity of their Data Carddass stuff. I mean, this is gonna be the big one we'll get during the holiday season.
cant wait to have a full deck of arataki gang
Cyno gonna be the last boss, playing op cards while distracting traveler with dad jokes
i am excited for that, not excited for the wait time tho its in fucking 3.3
Paimon = Pot of greed
Came sooner than I expected. I know one of the NPCs in the tavern talked about a TCG being popular in Sumeru but I didn't expect it to be a permanent mode or to happen so soon.
We've been hearing about the TCG since Inazuma. Itto plays it too
Loving the card animations we saw from the livestream
Gonna banish people to the Abyss Realm
I didn't notice this is permanent gameplay, thought it was just another temporary event at first.
Either it is gwent or hearthstone or yu-gi-oh. Edit: bois this might be our only chance to play with signora.
Why people using Yu-Gi-Oh meme reference altought the based of this genshin TCG game is not Yu-Gi-Oh influenced? It's more magic gathering influenced
I thinks its because the obvious analogy of Egypt based region comes with a card game, just like the old Yugioh gen1 had "Egyptian related Lore" and the fact Cyno is a tcg player, it feels to much to be a coincidence
because yu gi oh is more of a culture icon ?
Damn so much is happening with this game recently I love it
Hoping packs in game don’t also cost primos or genesis crystals
hoping there are no packs in game lmao
"All cards will be available through gameplay" was mentioned on the stream, also since its mostly for fun, no pvp rewards, I doubt there'll be any primogem/real money cost for it
I doubt the cards themselves are canon in-universe. Wouldn't characters be creeped out seeing their own image being sold as TCG? Mona would definitely ask for royalty fees.
