@MaindeckGames It seems you’re taking a singles comment and interpreting it as the official stance and direction of the entire game tho. And misinterpreting it at that. Read anything that JCM or Steamboy or anyone actually working on the team has to say about it before making conclusions

@DCP_Chase I feel like you miss the point of the post, though. The end goal involves those two "blending into one".

Alright so every post about Azuki TCG is the same thing. - NFT PFP - Cryptobro "Keep pushing" affirmations - Hyperbolic projections about game's future - Red Gate emoji in post and display name, indicating commitment to the game's cult of followers Then I see this pictured interaction and it all makes sense. I got to try Azuki at GAMA, but I just chose to pull it from tomorrow's video (and reshoot the whole thing). Gameplay wise, it was fine - Tim, who showed it to me, was a very nice guy and I have no ill will towards him. The game played nearly identically to Bandai games - which I told him, and which puts it neatly in middle of the road for me for enjoyment. Not amazing, not bad. And that's what I said about it in my first version of the video. But I can't post that now that I see the goals laid bare. The end result of a TCG should be a fun game played between humans at a table - a social interaction, a strategic contest, and a fist bump at the end. The publisher works to make the game conducive to this on a reasonable scale, we pay them for access to more exciting components to enrich our hobby, and the game continues. Instead, I'm seeing that beautiful social experience being used to smuggle in an IP whose purpose is selling tokens on a blockchain. You can certainly enjoy all of the same elements listed above with Azuki, but in doing so and supporting the game, you're supporting a goal of getting their Web3 side exposure and widespread support. A pawn in a larger scheme. That beautiful experience can be had with any other game on the market that ISN'T trying to eventually normalize selling you a listing on a ledger that indicates you are the one true owner of a jpg. And now that I know better, I would recommend you seek ANY of those alternatives.

At 13 years old, I won multiple major tournaments. I would beat top players from around the world that were twice my age. It was called a zombie rush deck and was unbeatable. Yu-Gi-Oh in its prime was like no other. Pure strategy and skill.

@KodyKennedyKK Hey buddy heres your 7s and 8s, but also dont forget your service upcharge please! 😂 Professional Scam Authority

@grok_king @g3nkitcg Community Pioneer 🫡 Definition of Digging the Well

This wouldn’t be possible without @g3nkitcg - man is all heart and soul. Azuki and TCG Legend.

@ricmasterflash going into new block rotation, do you think the 3c Nami from ST21 that gives 2 Don to Leader is a good replacement for the 1c Nami that gave 1 Don?

This weekend I got Top 8 at worlds with RG Luffy 🌶️ (Swiss) ✅ mihawk ✅ Sabo ❌ Ace ✅ Imu ✅ Imu Top cut ❌ UP Luffy Worlds was an amazing experience and filled with so many amazing players!! I’ll strive to do better next time! Nami is still the goat!!🐐

whats going up tomorrow? not just the raffle drawing but also... THE PRESALE AT tcg.azuki.com/presale

@sormiltcg And that is a perfectly acceptable sample size for this format as well. Thank you for your community service 🫡

I played 2 games of OP15. This is the meta.

@zeroguap Ohhh 👀

Man if I ever seen a bigger red flag than azuki lol

@JohnErickson107 If the person didnt want a trade and wanted cash, would 80% still be too low for you?

@DCP_Chase I have but have you thought that sports card vendors don’t offer 80% on trade?

Pokemon vendors doing the 80% trade value shit is still crazy af to me. So just cause you buy a table at a show, you get this premium of a perk? I don’t get it but the market and the community are okay with is cause I see it at shows and in the YouTube videos. On Sunday, I went to a show here in SoCal. Biggest Charizard I saw was a Gold Star PSA 6 (pic for reference) and dealer stickered it at 5k. I told him I’d make my rounds and I’d come back. Came back towards the end of the show and it was still there. He said he only did Pokemon so of course I show my Zards. He was mostly interested in the Shadow 7 and base 8 and 9. He gave me 80% on my cards and then I’d pay the rest in cash. I said I’ll just offer. I put on my calculator a number I’d do as my starting offer - I put 4000. He told me his number was 4800. I showed him my calculator and I said I’d offer 4400 best and he declined. I can’t make a full switch to Pokemon/TCG cause getting 80% from people who try to trade seems… scummy/scammy albeit everyone accepts it. And I love sports cards too. Still gonna be buying up Charizards though…

@knoyhead I think one of TAGs biggest allures is the clear slab, the semitransparent screams low end to me tbh (just like how a PSA slab looks low end)

I probably spent way too long on this, but since so many people are in agreement that TAG Pristine 10 slabs need something to make them stand out (and have any kind of shot at being on par with BGS Black Labels) I came up with some more mockups in Photoshop. This one's my favorite I think. The pearlescent slab (which would still be semitransparent) and gold lettering combo just screams high end imo. Thoughts? PS feel free to hire me @TAGgrading. I have lots of idea 😎

@sormiltcg Lotta people too young to remember this but its still valid

Also if you sell ur cards based off a single tweet and don’t search for sources, that’s on you. You are an idiot.

People are way too comfortable being mean online. Shitposting and making harmless jokes online doesn’t affect you one bit. If it really offends you, block and move on. Reflect on your behavior if you think threatening people over jokes is okay.

@kewlpeeps7 @BUYSELLTRADETCG 💯

@DCP_Chase @BUYSELLTRADETCG Imma stick a fiver underneath

Friends… PSA OR BGS??? I’ve gemmed two other copies, so curious on this one. Do y’all think there’s a chance for a black label?? @BUYSELLTRADETCG

@camolNFT This thing is so mid

Price on sealed Pokédex’s has stabilized around $5,000. Been posting about these since $200 and genuinely think they’re the most undervalued collectible right now. Every 90s kid had one. You CAN put a price on nostalgia. It’s $75,000.

@BatVibes We got another Logan Paul copy pasting ChatGPT over here

005: Did you know Ash's Charmeleon turning into a jerk wasn't just teenage angst — it was the anime perfectly adapting a brutal game mechanic? When Charmander evolved, it instantly stopped listening to Ash. But the reason why ties directly to how experience points work. • The "Traded" Status: Ash didn't originally catch Charmander; he took it in after he was abandoned. Under game logic, that makes it an "outsider" Pokémon, meaning it gains boosted EXP. • The Massive EXP Dump: In the episode it evolves, Charmander single-handedly roasts an entire stampede of Exeggutor. Combined with the outsider boost, it absorbed a massive amount of EXP all at once. • The Level Cap: In the video games, traded Pokémon level up so fast they easily outpace your Gym Badges. If their level gets too high, they completely stop obeying you. • The Defiance: The moment it evolved into Charmeleon, its level spiked past Ash's current badge limit. It didn't randomly decide to hate Ash — he literally didn't have the badges to control it anymore. Game Freak turned the game's most frustrating badge-limit penalty into one of the greatest story arcs in anime history. But then again, maybe it's just a bunch of random coincidences... Or is it? 🤔
