Cryptozoic and KONAMI team up for WoW TCG launch in Japan

Trading Card Game in Japan. After kicking off in the United States and Europe, the game has now spread to 54 countries worldwide, including China and Korea. By tapping into a rich abundance of knowledge amassed over a decade of developing card games, KONAMI will not only sell the cards but also host a variety of activities that are indispensable in the promotion of card games, such as ranked matches, national tournaments, and the qualification of a player to represent Japan in the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game is set in a fantasy world filled with elves, humans, monsters, and various other races of all shapes and sizes. The game is highly acclaimed for its meticulously detailed world and beautiful, delicately drawn illustrations. Straightforward and easy to understand, the game also features deep strategic elements involving various equipment cards and other allies and abilities-a factor that contributes to its worldwide popularity.

It's no secret the card game market here is massive (and I mean MASSIVE- I live relatively in the boonies and pretty much every card game imaginable is played on the 2nd floor tabletop area roped off in each gaming store). It makes sense they'd push the card game here, and there were even rumblings of some WoW/SC2 localizations getting pushed here soon as MMO-Champion's leaked chart showed last month.

The odd thing is the timing. Most card games here are not standalone games. They're tied to a TV show, video game, or some kind of external media that lets players get engrossed in the IP outside of playing with their friends. If Blizzard just releases the card game, it's going to lack the "engrossment" factor all other successful card games here have.

If Blizzard plans on releasing WoW here soon, then great. This will help cement the IP for players that do PC/Mac gaming on the side. If they don't, they should really pursue a card game arcade unit model or something that's inherently more popular in this country. But a card game by itself will flop.

Yu-Gi-Oh Online Ban List Summer 2011 -

: This Banlist follow Some of OCG Banlist but Konami banned and Restricted More Cards base on Yu-Gi-Oh Online Metagame.

Dark Gaia was Banned because It’s the most popular OTK in Yu-Gi-Oh Online, Swap Frog was banned because Frog Emperor (Monarch) is Very Popular, Advanced Ritual Art was Banned because Perfect Declarer (Herald of Perfection) Deck and Now that Konami Semi-Limited Demise they decided to Banned it.

Cold Wave, Heavy Storm, Dark Hole, Monster Reborn, Blackwing – Kalut the Moon Shadow, Blackwing – Vayu, Honest, Black Rose Dragon, Dark Armed Dragon, Dandylion, Mystical Space Typhoon, Goblin Zombie, Snipe Hunter, Judgment Dragon, Solar Recharge and more are Follow OCG Banlist.

As For E-Hero Absolute Zero it’s very Popular in Diva Zero and Light Dual Deck but I think Konami should limited Dual Spark instead because Light Dual is Very Popular Rightnow with E-Hero The Shining.

The Future Meta in my opinion are Light Dual, Graveyard Black Feather, Gladial Beast, Lightlord, Machiner Gadget.

Less Popular would be Diva Zero, Emperor (Monarch), Debris Dandy/Quickdraw Dandy, Perfect Declarer and Dark Gaia will be dead.

As For Future OTK (People can’t stop using it because It’s fast) I think Royal Magical Library Related Deck will be popular (Library Exodia, Library Life Equalizer, Tempest Magician OTK).

 

Sorry aber das ist mit abstand schlechsteste Bannlist aller zeiten da es nur daum geht eine karte namens Straße zum sternenlicht zu Pushen welche dann in der nächsten Sesion eh auf 1-2 limitiert wird.
