The MBoard

... You clicked that...?

Megaman the Trading card game, You may have seen it at the book store, or at your local hobby shop while looking for DnD figs. You stand there for a second... And you wonder... "should I get it?"

Your first inclination should be "hell no, It's based off of battle network"

Some of us, and Rez will back me up on this one, Are incapible of that level of thought, and so we buy it.

I was freash off of the BN3 high, playing it though and unlocking everything, I baught the NT warrior DVD (1), Due to my intoxication, I thought this was an alright show... wighing in both it's good and bad points, it had more good than bad.

It had an add for the card-game in the special features...

Yes... SPECAIL FEATURE =/= Ad.

Sent me to the official website. Download 15 cards per deck (2 decks) to print out and play with your freinds.

Downloaded, printed, played with my brothers.
... Insufficient testing... had to get the decks.

twenty bucks later, I read the FULL rules.

I can't go into discribing the pain it is to play...

Check the official upperdeck site if you really are interested...

but the thing is... Don't get it.

Trading gard came?

*facepalm

I missed that...

It's a megaman TCG based off of battlenetwork.

Yeah I saw these myself, they still sell them somewhere I know. And my friend has a stack of them, the only reason he bought it was to get Bass, 'cause he's a mad Bass fan.

Just change the topic title.

I saw these years ago. I thought about collecting/playing the game, but it never caught on. Plus, I saw the cards. They're based on the TV show and not the game (AKA, the "FireMan.EXE" card is "TorchMan.EXE". Lame.)

And my friend has a stack of them, the only reason he bought it was to get Bass, 'cause he's a mad Bass fan.

Who is this mysterious friend?!  ???

He was doing you a favor by protecting your identity!

Yeah way to go, now everyone knows how much of a Bass fanboy you are.


Still want that Bass doll?

I would like a bass doll.  :)

The rules...

This is as simplified as I can make it.

Rule 1: Hp is equil to the cards in your deck (both players must have the same amount

Draw 1 card, add it to your hand.
place a card from the deck for power. (this is like Magics mana... in a since)
place 1 navi card, But only one equil to the power level you have.
Place as many other cards as you want, Equil power to the power you have.
you may *burn a power* for more help.
You may burn a power to attack with your buster.

Each navi has a defence and an attack, you may play one chip per turn to alter the number of those in your favor.

if damage is done, remove the number of points lost from the deck into the graveyard.

game is done when a players card is depelted.

Also... Japaneese computer is japanees.

ちのしはれちとしのりはまちれま (bleh)

The only good TCG I've ever come across is Yu-Gi-Oh. All the other ones just seem to disgrace the anime/video game it originated from. Take this Megaman TCG for example. And I thought Capcom couldn't get worse than Star Force.

Well, there's was PokeMon, and Magic is still kickin'.

... and I heard Duel Masters was supposed to be fun, but that's only from word of one person really.

I've seen others play DBZ, DBGT, and InuYasha before; plus some rare sights of Wrestling, Full Metal Alchemist, and World of Warcraft being played.

What about Digimon? I remember collecting the cards, but thats it..

Digimon had the spotlight for a few minutes but then a cane appeared offstage and yanked the ##### out of it.

Well, there's was PokeMon, and Magic is still kickin'.

Magic is cool because it stands on its own, and doesn't have a tv show to base itself off of.
Duel Masters, never played, DBZ just annoyed the hell out of me, Inuyasha I never heard of.

And the only reason PokeMon was good was because they actually encouraged you to play the game, unlike Yu-Gi-Oh where buying the cards was all that mattered. The commercials for Pokemon actually inspired you to play, while Yu-Gi-Oh was just "NEW POWERFUL DECK" but no one knows how to use it.

That doesn't make Magic cool. Duel Masters started out as a parody of those shows and then changed into one when it caught on. DBZ was an OK show, but far inferior to the original Dragonball. Inuyasha is not good.

It was popular around my school, but hey, there were even random people playing "Full Metal Alchemist" anyway.

The InuYasha TCG looked pretty fun, but the gameplay was all too familiar, as in it didn't look new at all. Someone near me started collecting Chibi cards... which were apparently really rare and really good. I don't see the point if it's not popular.

I played Magic for a few days. In grade FIVE.

Everyone played magic. When they got sick of Pokemon. And what did they do when they got sick of magic? Started talking to girls.

Magic was out years before Pokemon was even a Gameboy game.

A lot of players in PokeMon and Yu-Gi-Oh! usually converted to playing Magic when they got tired of it. People advertised Magic and other card games in PokeMon leagues while participating (I got random "MagiNation" cards everytime I played some guy). Most Magic players that originally played Yu-Gi-Oh! did so around the time Upperdeck implemented a forbidden list in addition to a limited one.

Others just stopped playing entirely, usually saying something like "I can't use this anymore? ##### that."

I've never learned to play Magic. I had a few cards, but I found no use for keeping them around, so I just donated 'em to Goodwill. The same went for all my Digimon, Duel Masters, Pokemon, DBZ, Inuyasha, and Marvel cards. They were just taking up space.

I still keep a Magic and a Yugioh deck, but the latter does not observe the forbidden list - all cards on it, I treat as limited instead.  The former is also not tournament-legal, though it is a few cards short of it.  I just keep them around for... some unknown type of sentimental value.

"Tournament-legal"

::snickers::

*blink*  Am I missing something?  (Sorry, not thinking about it hard enough, I'm sure... but fill me in all the same.)

No no you're missing nothing. I'm just snickering at how official it all sounds for what it is. It's not so lame with Magic, but if I attach it to Yu-Gi-Oh it's rather humorous.

That show is just so piss poor and corny that whenever I see people taking the cards seriously it brings me right back to 3rd grade.

Eh.  First couple of story arcs were alright.  Arcs beyond that and GX are utter crap, though.

I blame 4Kids.

I like the japanese episodes the most, because they do implement violence here and there.

GX has nothing.

... except maybe boobs.

I've watched the first couple arcs, and it was crap wall to wall.

I played Yu-gi-oh! A good long time back... I disliked how when I made a good deck to play with, come April, I would have to get rid of my whole strategy because I was using an "illegal" card at that point. They make cards where you'll win in a few turns, but you have to spend you ass off just to get it, then the next year They say "woops, can't have it in your deck if you wanna play 'professionally'~!"

That's because players find ways to "break" the cards. There was a thing going around last year called a "Demise One-Turn-Kill" deck using "Demise - King of Armageddon". The combo went like this:

[spoiler]
Advanced Ritual Art = Send two Insect Knights or Neo Bugs to the grave.
Demise = Pay 2000. Clear the field.
Metamorphosis = Offer Demise. Summon Cyber Twin Dragon.
Remove both insects in grave to summon Doom Dozer.
Attack with both for 8400 damage.[/spoiler]

Now, Demise is limited and Metamorphosis is banned.

EDIT: My bad. Advanced Ritual Art is limited, not Demise.
