So many CCGs back then. Spellfire did predate Magic though. I tried so many of those games and almost all of them were so bad. Overpower, Middle Earth, Star Wars, Star Trek, Wyvern, Jyhad, etc.

and Lord of Bad Ideas for a CCG: Heresy: Kingdom Come (cards are ~30% longer than regular cards and had a SUPER BRITTLE finish on them. Couldn't find sleeves for shit, and they almost shattered just shuffling a couple of times)

Did you assemble enough booster pack pyramids to go first in Hyperborean Gates?

From the creators of Magic comes Hecatomb

Featuring pentagonal clear plastic cards you stacked on top of each other!

Sleeves to protect your investment or to designate who owns what in your communal stack of cards during a game?

Fuck no!

I remember when that game came out my friend actually woodworked a "deckbox" for it, since nothing extant would hold them without damaging them.

Friends and I enjoyed Battletech and Illuminati CCGs. Battletech was also created by Garfield, and had 6 expansions, so it had some legs. Not long ones, but /shrug

I agree, not having ridiculous expensive cards is good for the game.

There's always going to be best cards in sets. If there's sets where nothing is good enough even for Standard then that's just as bad as having over pushed nonsense.

I remembered when they did the Energy release, and it was so broken, that as soon as the next set came in they banned a lot of the energy cards. attune and rogue refiner

They banned Marvel pretty early, but they didn't ban that other shit until later. Was the January 2018 B&R update I think. Also energy is a dumb mechanic. Anytime you can get around normal mana costs it's dangerous. Almost all the major fuckups have been this sort of thing. Phyrexian mana, Energy, Delve, Affinity, etc.

Yes, they banned the main energy generators once the new set came out and it did nothing to the old Temur Energy deck.

Part of the Theors EV being shit is the collector boosters are well. They have 3 "showcase" or whatever you want to call it cards per pack, and only mythics exist with those special extended art or alternate frames, so every path is 3 mythics. The prices on stuff like alternate art gods or planeswalkers is in the absolute shitter because of that and you can buy special versions of them for the same or less as the normal prints.
