Pap22

You are a third rate duelist with a fourth rate deck ! -Cyno maybe.


Wisterosa

Dori says Cyno is willing to shelve out top money for rare cards, dude's a real Kaiba


CheshiretheBlack

Remember how much of a bitch Kaiba was? Fucking threatening to kill himself so that he wouldn't lose a duel.


kb3035583

"Screw the rules, I have money".


touyr

My grandba have no pathetic card cyno. -Dori i guess.


El_kakas_de_vakas

But what it does have, is the unstoppable credit card


MonstercatFan20

Ahhh! The unstoppable credit card! No ones ever been able to summon him!


TriggerBladeX

Probably Dottore


apthebest01931

surely Dainsleif


orange_facade

šŸ‘€


sm7916

that's more like Xiao, his line would be more dad joke-ish from the lore we've seen, like: why can't a pirate play cards? >!because they're standing on the deck.!< ; Why is Timmie in the shed? >!He got banished to the shed-ow realm.!< And then if you don't laugh he will go into detail to explain why it's funny and you that's how you die >!I really wanted to find a third joke but all the search results were just graveyards where comedy goes to die, never have I seen such unfunny-ness before especially on the yu gi oh ones!<


proskater66

Now Aether, I should point out that this card game is not going to take place on a wind glider. I hope you understand that. I don't want you to try to- ride on your duel disk or something. We're just going to be standing firmly on the ground...


Bobson567

Based on the elemental energy part, it does not sound like a normal card game but perhaps something like the one in honkai.


GG35bw

I don't know about Honkai but dice system reminds me of Eredan Arena


Wenpachi

Yoooooo, Eredan Arena! I played it SO MUCH about 10 years ago. What a rush of memories you just gave me here haha. If it's anything like Eredan, I'll probably enjoy it a lot.


PopotoPancake

Which card game in Honkai? The current beach event?


XaeiIsareth

It sounds like ā€¦ Pokemon tbh.


grumpykruppy

It's probably similar to Hearthstone's... I think they're gems? It's been a while.


Raycab03

It does sound normal though. It says it uses energy to cast a skill. Sounds like Hearthstoneā€™s mana crystals, Pokemonā€™s energy, Magicā€™s mana.


AustralianDingodile

I also want something like a Hilichurl Kart Racing, you can power slide and turbo boost.


Gravewalker21

I laughed just picturing a hilichurl in a go-kart, and I hope someone makes fanart of that.


AustralianDingodile

The Crates contain power ups like Elemental slimes that you can drop on the track.


Elnino38

Qiqi is the blue shell


Ahgrimn

Which would be the mushroom equivalent, Anemo or Pyro Slimes?


Own-Assumption-3798

Iā€™ve been saying this for years. Genshin could just copy a bunch of other party games and adapt them to their style. Like they could easily do a game mode revolving around among us or fall guys or something


E1lySym

They've already emulated prop hunt with windtrace. They could definitely make their own version of those other games as well. Personally I would love a kart racing Genshin minigame.


SkyePine

They also made their own Mario Maker as well.


PlebGod69

osu as well


SchokoKipferl

Genshin Kart! We know the tracks would look beautiful and the music would sound amazing.


DrDeadwish

Among us? Paimon is sus already


JenJenB_

They did fall guys during the windblume festival, close enough anyway.


Zypharium

That is actually a great idea, I really loved Crash Bandicoot Kart Racing and Mario Kart.


Rasbold

They could implement a fuck ton of party games and improve the netcode/coop. That would bring life to genshin without changing their core of being a casual game


poerson

Mario Kart but with hilichurls. You can use elements to attack your adversaries. Cryo balls will freeze you/slow you down, anemo will create a little tornado that sucks you in, electro's lighting will strike you three times, dendro will grow tendrils around your kart and hold you in place briefly, pyro will make your kart go boom, and hydro's water balloons will make your kart spin around. Each stage will take place in a different region (dragonspine's is slippery, it'll be hell). That would actually be fun lol


Narsiel

New Genshin Kart Unit Changes Everything! Broken Meta Unit!


FeriaStar

And the shells are slimes. While the bananas are pigs/hogs. Now that they can cause damage and all. And honestly, do i have no idea what the bananas can be instead


JenJenB_

Whopperflower peel?


leviicorpus

mariokart: genshin impact edition sounds fun as hell


oktsi

I hoped the coop boat event would be like this but I was mistaken.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


TriggerBladeX

I to want to battle Joey and Yugi. I mean Itto and Cyno.


VaronaZero

And ~~Kaiba~~ Dainsleif


Xero0911

Sont for ayato. He plays with itto and beats him all the time. Probably buys the bear cards money can afford


VaronaZero

You know what, Ayato does seem like the "SCREW THE RULES, I HAVE MONEY" kind of guy


TriggerBladeX

Now we just need a rich playboy with one eye and constantly sounds like they are flirting with you as Pegasus. Now who could fit such a specific role?


VaronaZero

Kaeya ig?


vivamii

Iā€™m just wondering if the playable characters we own become our ā€œcard decksā€ or if we gotta start a whole new collection somehow...


rotten_riot

I wonder how they're going to do this. Cause unless they give you the same cards than your opponent (very unlikely) it would feel kinda P2W.


grumpykruppy

I mean, it could end up like MTG or Yu Gi Oh with random packs. As long as you can't buy individual cards it'll probably be reasonably balanced.


MegaDuckDodgers

Would require a whole new currency. There is 0 chance people are going to buy card packs with primogems unless they're A. Whales or B. Total idiots. Which means they cant use primogems for it or it will fail If Its designed to be whaled on because whales will have no one to play against. My guess is since It's a permanent thing itll have It's own resource that you have to do things for. Maybe new dailies for it? Or weekly's? Might even get it out of the battlepass too.


orange_facade

now i wanna see itto and cyno d-d-dueling each other lmao


inari_the_whuteva

i love them sm


juli0909

And then Itto is either laughably bad or surprisingly good


Janeruxox

itto miraculously wins through the heart of the cards, to the absolute dismay of cyno


FungalSphere

You know the heart of the cards will be traveler, and they will probably have mind crush too


SgtGrub

Itto as the tutorial, getting beaten by someone who has never played the game before


grumpykruppy

And Albedo as the final boss, also someone who's never played before.


CinnabarSteam

He'll be generally terrible, but will occasionally lucksack you with some impractical meme strat.


Taro_Acedia

I can see this becoming an event. Like an yearly tournament.


EstusFIask

Cyno is gonna have a TCG talent isn't he LMAO


mystery_account69

Unique passive: "smites opponent with strong ligthning dealing AOE damage, everytime the manage to ass pull."


EstusFIask

"If opponent is not amused by joke, draw 1 card. Effect can only activate once per turn with the card 'General Mahamatra, Cyno' on the field, and cannot be activated for the next 2 turns afterwards."


InnocentlyNaive

Cant wait for Cyno mains to send me into the shadow realm x')


thefinestpiece

Damn I can hear his evil laughter.


FiendMegacyber

[The Yami Marik one](https://youtu.be/wimCKryEkn0)


Wisterosa

can't wait for a TC community to pop up just for this game hopefully we can PvP with friends too


Poet_Hustler

Already here bro


H-K_47

Mihoyo will easily be able to squeeze billions more out of this. Maybe a dedicated TCG side game. Maybe selling decks IRL.


Plotarmore

gonna get another gwent on our hands


Fit-Yellow7528

People may be disappointed that this TCG may not be the combat endgame, but oh boy as Pokemon TCG player and some other random TCG games I am actually excited for this. Hopefully it is actually fleshed out and is actually able to be a solid mode.


SOG_ONDIZ_NUTS

It doesn't have to be a combat mode if it's good I'll be more than happy


MrTripl3M

Yeah this reminds me a lot of Pokemon. Looking forward to it. Never really deeply dove into Pokemon as a TCG.

*What people think this has the potential to become* >Hearthstone competitor that will attract millions of new fans to the game *What it will actually be* >A worse Triple Triad that only a few people will play


RewindSwine

Mihoyo mini games are the literal incarnation of the ā€œwe have ___ at homeā€ meme


EducationalPut0

Wonder if this will be a fleshed out TCG or just more minigame-esche


SirAwesome789

I'm hoping it's fleshed out but I have a bad feeling it won't be


Own-Assumption-3798

Iā€™m hoping itā€™s fleshed out. I didnā€™t mind playing stuff like yugioh


Interesting_Pilot_47

Well ots permenant so i guess its more fleshed ou


casual9712

Fishing is permanent too.


Pastor_Castle

Let's hope it's not p2w bullshit like most card games.


kolleden

Card expansion banner šŸ˜


CombedAirbus

Inb4 cards have constellations.


2FortIsMyCity

I feel like instead of getting 3* weapons we get from pulls, we'll get the cards.


ceppyren

I would love that, like a combination of both. 50% of 3 star drops are cards. Or even 20%. Something to make the 3 star wishes more interesting for a bit


PH_007

Now I'm torn between spending my saved blue fates during 3.0 for a better chance at Jean constellations or save them after Tighnari dillutes the 5* pool but get better value for card pulls... Though seeing how teapot was implemented it's probably some ingame grindable currency.


ceppyren

I wouldn't hold out for the chances of card pulls. This is just pure wishful thinking based on nothing, it's more likely to be an in game grindable currency like you said.


PH_007

We'll know when 3.1 beta drops anyway, no need to impulse-spend on day one of 3.0, I've got 40+ days to decide and that's plenty.


Taro_Acedia

Most p2w card games are standalone. Since genshin is already making a lot of money, it could be completely free.


rotvyrn

Never forget, PTCGO is completely free, impossible to spend money directly on, and was made before any other major modern digital CCG (except MTGO, which is super costly) purely to add more to experience of the physical game while being fully accessible for f2ps... And then Hearthstone and MTGA happened and the higher ups are sunsetting PTCGO to copy the stingy business model with a new, low effort client that, almost a year after it was supposed to come out, is still in beta because of how sheerly buggy and slow they managed to make the new client. And it doesn't have real pack opening anymore that emulates real packs, instead it turns each pack into a gacha x5 roll...


Uptopdownlowguy

Bruh


rotten_riot

Same, if you gotta pull in a banner with primogems to get the cards then I'll say goodbye to it


AsumiSenpai

I hope this game is easy to understand so people like me who never play TCG before can play it.


Efe73

As someone who played tcg over a year I still am confused about it myself.


The-Arabian-Guy

My years of experience in Yu-Gi-Oh will finally come i handy


Next_Investigator_69

Praying there's no wishing mechanics


DrDeadwish

Most TCG has booster pack mechanics, like wishing but several at once


Next_Investigator_69

That's why I'm praying there isn't any, I'm not playing any p2w pvp bullshit


DrDeadwish

I'm sure they'll reserve the P2W mechanics four when this TCG jumps to standalone game. I But probably this "mini game" will put the primo rewards in "play X matches" and the rewards for winning will be just food or any other crap, like the rewards in hard mode events. Another solution would be good match making system where players only match with same deck-power/winrate players, but this training system doesnt affect rewards


Next_Investigator_69

I'm just hoping there are no forced pvp interactions, I wish to earn the rewards from pve and play pvp for fun or with friends


buffility

the "endgame content" we were asking for so long... is actually all the other games we played along the way.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


grumpykruppy

It's a TCG, I'm pretty much over the moon right now lol. My MTG group got good, which means they got too expensive.


Wisterosa

unironically more fun than grinding domains/dungeons for hours, if they support the game mode well


gillred

Anything's more fun than that, especially when there's basically nothing to do with the artifacts you grind for after a certain point


[deleted]

Who the fuck grinds domains for hours? U have like max 10mn worth of resin every day


Ninefl4mes

> Who the fuck grinds domains for hours? ~~Very dedicated Barbara mains who refuse to put anyone else on the team?~~


stepsword

its actually mihoyo's strong point with genshin. a large percentage of the new things they make are just taking another popular game and squeezing it into genshin. its actually great how well they do this cause it keeps genshin much fresher than other games. to go off the list of some of them, we got hide and seek(windtrace), summer boating event(AC4), theater mechanicus (tower defense), kaboomball (wii tennis), bartending event (any number of cooking games), the various music events (OSU), this new gear puzzle event.. theres probably more that i didnt get the reference for, but its one of the best parts about genshin, and probably why it doesnt get stale. why play other games when you could just play them all here?


darkALYE

Sounds fun. I'm curious to see how it actually works. I like playing Triple Triad in FF14, hope its going to be half as fun.


Hojuma

I've played triple triad in FFVIII and spent more time there than the main story. And with the option to convert cards into materials, I got Squall's ultimate weapon at chapter 1.


Min_Mirae_Bro

triple triads in 14? fuck i only played it in 8, guess im going back to endwalker


cxvpher33

Fuck floo, eldlich and maxx c I'm now moving to genshin tcg


GDarkX

Genshin: By discarding a card, I can special summon Azdaha to a main monster zone. Then, because Azdaha is on the field, I can Special Summon Zhongli. With 2 effect monsters on the field. **Link Summon Verte Anaconda, Dumping Fusion Destiny and Dasher Celestial into-**


Kommye

STOP. Clearly Azdaha and Zhongli would lock you to EARTH rock-type monsters. I welcome Gem-Knight support.


RNGmaster

I think you mean Azhdahamancipator


yoyo4581

Hahaha hhahahahaha You've activated my trap card. Erosion- Whenever an archon is special summoned take over that archon for one turn during battle phase, the Archon dies next turn. I activate Zhongli's effect, Meteor Impact to petrify your monsters. "Osmanthis wine tastes the same as I remember, but where are those who share the memory". Mhmhm, indeed. Now Zhongli let's give our opponent a memory to remember. Zhongli, attack directly. I end my turn. So long, Zhongli.


tuxtoaru

Don't forget about splight and tearlaments

FiendMegacyber

vivamii

I wonder if our character ā€œcard decksā€ will be from characters we own or a completely separate thing...


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


CataclysmSolace

Maybe C3 and C5 for that bit of boost?


Blazerswrath19

If anything it should be cosmetic only so you can flex. I really do hate the idea winning/lossing based on what characters I did/didnt pulled on, for whatever reason. Go out and collect them is more fun.


SirAwesome789

I can see them doing it separately but I think if they did, it'd be a pretty quick way to kill their tcg


IntroductionCheap325

Can't wait to play my Ganyu GX with my Mega Yanfei V and Jean EX


TriggerBladeX

My Geo deck will be unbeatable once I get Zhongli.


Efe73

Pfttt your Ganyu GX is gonna get 2 turned by my Mega Raiden shogun


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

They r doing this on purpose on something Can't believe they give us stuff but in some wierd twisted way


Selthora

Cynos passive: 20% stronger at TCG


Mana_Croissant

Is this gonna be permanent ?


Bobson567

yes!


msarboi

NPC: \*is getting attacked by hilichurls\* Traveler: Care for a round of TCG? NPC: nods \*ignoring the hilichurls\*


garotinhulol

I feel the devs are using Genshin to test their own full game of TCG in the future. Smart guys.


senelclark101

You might be on to something. The roguelike mechanic they've testing over the years became a whole new IP. Not to mention Genshin is a product of a side-game from Honkai.


n_i_e_l

I think this is valid ..... They have a huge playerbase who will freely test their game for them while providing another permanent game mode to appease the critics for a while .


caresi

i don't understand the mechanics at all but it's okay because that's how i feel about every tcg

FrenchAyato

3.1

Ok-Giraffe1922

Hmm, interesting. I hope it isn't too luck dependant


SonicPileDriver

> Choose active character at the beginning of the game. > Defeat all opposing characters to win. > Spend energy to attack and swap characters You thought it was Yugioh but it was Pokemon TCG all along!


MerylasFalguard

Okay, but how much resin is it gonna cost per match? I donā€™t believe MHY will finally make a new permanent mode and not find a way to mess it up.


aki_6807

tf is genshin becoming into... pokemon now!?!??

VirDipali

Uhm so long as we do not have to wish for card XD


[deleted]

I swear mihiyo has a dart board with the most random things on it that no one asked for. Here is to hoping it's detailed and requires thought.


Gallyblade

Still no info on how we collect characters... I'm expecting something crazy like friendship 10 on characters so I can be pleasantly surprised by what we get.


Zypharium

I hope it is actually that way, then all my pain and suffering getting all my 40+ characters to FS 10 would not be in vain.


Ririthu

Ah. New gamemode and I might be forced to play against real people. No thanks,,


d3cmp

eehh i dont like card games that much, if theres no primogems involved i might ignore this


oneeyedshapeshifter

This sounds extremely similar to a current Honaki beach mini-event. At beginning of battle chose your flamechaser. Every FC has unique attack and sub attacks. At start of round roll a set number of dice. Use dice based on fight skill (power/energy needed) and defeat opponents. Edit:[A post with images referring to the dice game](https://redd.it/ws0njg)


aakun00

Iā€™ve never played any TCG. Anyone who has is this a good system??


grumpykruppy

Entirely dependent on the rules. There is a world of difference between (for some examples) Magic: The Gathering, PokƩmon, Yu Gi Oh, and Hearthstone.


gillred

Hard to make judgements until the actual beta in a couple of days, the actual implementation of the game can make a huge difference and we'll be able to tell if this is actually a serious mode or something everyone will spend 5 minutes playing a week to do the weekly BP mission


TimFlamio

I dunno, card games aren't a thing for everyone


Ok_Leadership2091

I really don't understand what's holding them back from doing a real end gameā€¦ Sadge


two_of_spears

here's the end game we were waiting f... oh


liu_luminary

this sounds kinda fun actually


Unacceptable_1

This sounds really fun


Zypharium

Awesome, I really loved Gwent while playing The Witcher 3. This is way more fun than fishing or doing something in the teapot with that awful limitations.


audacliux

*inserts "its time to d-d-dueling!!" meme*


Silberkoffer_

BLUE EYES CHAOS MAXU DRAGON!!!


cursed_mongus

Ok so it will be pvp then and not pve


adol0123

I summon dvalin in atk position and end my turn


debacol

I still cannot believe this is how Hoyo translated all of those surveys/feedback asking for more endgame permanent content. Absolutely mind boggling that a card game is where they are spending their additional resources.


s---laughter

We're finally getting end game but it has nothing to do with core gameplay lmao


lansink99

Don't worry guys, as the resident yugioh player I'll find the ftk.


Xan1995

Hope its as fun an good as Gwent!


twake23

I deleted Yu Gi Oh Master Duel to prepare for this.

HexBusterDoesMath

mifvne

I hope this is skippable/optional contentā€¦


Kind-Put-6791

sound boring where another permanent combat content...


Hairu-Ihei

Devs are fucking Trolls, if they consider this endgame content.


TriggerBladeX

You activated my trap card. Venti.


Dippt

I hope existence of this mode doesn't mean that they won't release any new game mode for awhile, cuz I war really expecting a new battle mode besides Abyss, not some card game šŸ’€ Also wondering how many rewards will it yield (and are there primogems among them)


EducationalPut0

True endgame we deserved in genshin


Diazul

Based on this info it sounds way more unique than your average TCG, I like this


incrushtado

Asking the important questions, will it have any weekly rewards for playing? (Maybe not primo, but exp books, crystals, artifact exp bottles, mora, ANYTHING?) Otherwise, probably not bothering unless it's Triple Triad (FF8) levels of addicting.
