Hearthstone’s recent drama with Shudderwock got me thinking: What Happens When You Break A Card Game?

As several Hearthstone players have correctly pointed out, I didn't quite explain some of Shudderwock's properties correctly/fully. While an "infinite loop" didn't occur precisely as I described, it was still possible with the combination of Grumble, Worldshaker, Saronite Chain Gang, and Murmuring Elemental. If you'd like to learn precisely how all of it worked, there are plenty of in-depth articles that can explain it (and the rest of the card game) in great detail. Feel free to Google something like "How The Shudderwock Combo Works". Don't listen to some filthy casual like me.
In Magic, you could simply get all Battlecries, separate then, randomly shuffle then and "draw" the order. Way more viable than numbering the cards and rolling dices.
i know this video is old but you didnt even touch on any other games besides these two. pokemon had sabledonk, which caused an emergency rotation in 2011
Today's Yu-Gi-Oh is just lasted for 2-3 turns and one turn can summon as many monster and card as possible with combo. That's why I stop playing it. It's no longer fun
11:35 Well the player spent all that money on a card would certainly be banned in a few days in any other card game, high risk not always is high reward

And that’s why my friends we have a rotating forbidden list in Yu-Gi-Oh! and in other card games to balance this crap out.

YuGiOh has been grounded into dust as a game. Just Thanos snap everything from GX onwards and start again.
What do I think? I’m glad I stopped playing Hearthstone, years ago, as soon as I realised it was pay to win.
Why is there 41k dislikes
Yugioh players to this day try to make sure that the game doesn’t go past turn 4 trust me not much has changed there
Delete this garbage
imagine getting pissed because someone didn't explain your little shitty card game 100% correctly
I don't get all the dislikes, did this guy say something wrong?
Neo-Genesis Slobro?
The Hearthstone one on the cover is literally just the Jabberwocky.
kinda sad that he didnt mention the 1 turn combo in magic
"it ruins the game"
me: Shudderwock go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Does anyone remember the Pokémon tcg combo with reset stamp and Island challenge amulet? It also broke the game

Honestly thought you’d atleast talk a bit more in detail about the banned cards in mtg like black lotus etc.
96K likes but 41K dislikes? Why 41K dislikes???
