I know AE is playing catchup but were they really playing with a 3 Shifter format until now?
They are missing like 8000 cards.
We were playing in a 3 shifter format until 3 months ago.
I still see no importance for AE so far, they have neither the OCG rules, names nor artwork, even the very useful description format of the OCG is missing, this is basically reprinting tcg’s cringe all over again, oh well
It’s for all the non-Japanese regions. They obviously don’t fall under jurisdiction of KoA or KoE, and not only don’t speak Japanese, but also speak pretty diverse languages, so releasing cards in Indian, Chinese (both versions), Indonesian and bunch of other languages was just not possible.
Obviously to Konami its a new territories for generated more money.
“It’s not for me which means it’s bad and cringe”
Damn you got any other hot takes from your fifth grade classroom?
@V basically all TCG players mindset
I always laugh at Limited being moved to Forbidden. Its like, “Ya just couldnt be cool at 1. Ya just had to F it all up”. Also, OCG-Eng having Fiendsmith. Good for them. Not for the Fiendsmith part but for already being basically caught up.
Can we get asian english Rush cards pretty please 😭
