explain in detail?

thats the joke :D

the games and cards are fuelled by nostalgia and gambling addictions.

there is no quality to their game play and pokemon go was a massive invasion of privacy through tracking data.

fuck pokemon.

MTG IS THE GOAT.

edit: the irony of my statement is not lost on me, thats why its a joke :D. but since yall former redditors like to argue so much.

MTG is a better TCG. theres no getting around quality of game play as well as gameplay support. ive never met a pokemon card enthusiast who actually plays the card game instead of just raw collecting, and ive met A LOT of them (i was one, as a younger man, and have spent decades at conventions and in TCG shops, events, etc) as opposed to MTG players where its 95% about deck building and play for them. collecting is a huge component of MTG, however a cards financial cost is secondary to most MTG players, as opposed to card GAMEPLAY value.

ive collected both, and played both since the 90’s.

pokemon relies on merchandizing, video games, and TV shows, whereas MTG is just 99% cards, newer card game simulators that most people dislike (go Xmage, though) and some loose lore.

theres just no contest when it comes to TCG gameplay. sorry, not sorry.
