While that might be the prevailing image, there are plenty of games you can play if you're short on company. But I agree, for casual 'out of the box' gameplay, this should be the easiest choice.Most people likely think of card games as a social activity to be done with friends. Thus, only the Standard format is supported for competitive play. The thing that annoyed me the most about Pokémon is that the newer cards not only power creep the older ones by ridiculous amounts, but that the not that irregular changes in rules and design philosophy are partially incompatible with older cards, making it hard to make a decent deck with a random collection of cards from different eras of the game. Old school Yu-Gi-Oh! is stupidly easy, it's just the newer cards that have been overloaded with a dozen effects, displayed in a text box the size of a stamp. It's a time investment to even learn the 'more important' stuff about the game. Beyond that, the rules go very deep (timestamps, layers, etc.), cards having unexplained keywords, a bunch of formats, some of them with different rules. Sure, the basics are not that hard to learn, but still more complex than those of the other two. r/magicTCG is not produced, endorsed, supported by, or affiliated with Wizards of the Coast.Īmong the 'big 3' (MtG, Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!), I'm convinced Magic is the most complex one.
