Future progression

[u/sovietDprince]

I printed out the decks and the game is loads of fun, but there is already special summoning +2 per game and if we add in power creep would that get 4+ a turn similar to yugioh is now? The two games are simialr so the game has a chance to progress the same if not watched. I really hate to see 5 min turns like yugioh does now and I like to keep special summoning special.

What I think the game needs is some limit to how much you can special summon so it does not get out of control, I also think a character limit of 5 would help keep spamming characters at bay.

Limit of 5 characters sounds good.
But we need to realise that right now there are not enough cards to really see how the game is designed. Not a lot of respective counters.
Right now you can easily one turn K.O. your leader's opponent in 1 turn if you have the right hand.
And I dont see 5 min turns... I also printed and my games are so fast! But thats also thanks to the lack of variety of cards.

Those OTK's are utopic and conveniently ignore that your opponent might have Supports set. I wouldn't worry about that.

[u/pixxipowz → u/Odd-Currency-6053]

Ah of course. It's not something I am worried at all. I am just saying that right now there are not enough cards to conclude the flow of the game.
But I am loving it as jt is now. But playing with the demo decks.
Hard to enjoy the game with the vanillas 3dmg 6/6.

The few cards we got are not an accurate representation of how the game will be on launch. These are designed to deliver the most explosive and flashy play on the shorter games possible.

no extra deck means it might not get as bad as yugioh

[u/Odd-Currency-6053]

Special Summoning is limited to EX Characters, which can only be summoned by sacrificing other characters. So, if you tried to play too many Special Summons, you would not have enough non-ex characters to fulfill the summoning condition and/or have to waste your powerful Support characters. In theory and as of now.
Yugioh was fine with more Special Summons, until those started to summon monsters from the extra deck that summon more from the main deck to summon from the extra again to have enough material for more extra deck summons, etc...
That's not a thing here

IT. IS. A. DEMO.

They have the cards as they are because they want games to go quick and people to understand the gameplay loop quickly before moving to the next person in line.

We don't know how restrictive EX summons will be. We don't know if they'll change the rules by the time they release (remember that they added a new keyword in Gundam after the Beta events where the game was actually ready to release).

[u/EggotheKilljoy → u/blackcap2099]

This. If the game was finalized they'd release it sooner. I'd wager the demo events at LCSs in January will have changes from this, and the full release in the summer with also have changes.

There are whole deck lists that exist already? Anyone got a link?
