I tried to play it with some friends, but nobody really got into it.

Does WoTC blame the shitty anime for it not selling?

They never said why they cut it, they just sort of winded down production.

I was having fun playing this game with my brother, didn't even have a problem with not having a lot of people to play with since each of us had a couple decks and we'd randomly swap and stuff.

It was just babby's first magic the gathering. Like they intentionally have very similar mechanics.

>>24871208
>It was just babby's first magic the gathering.
You say it like its a bad thing. it eliminated one of the most irritating parts of magic (for me, at least) wasting half your deck space on mana cards.

Those cards look pretty sweet.

Too bad I'm much too invested in Magic to even think about picking up another card game.

>>24871253
>Those cards look pretty sweet.
They do, Duel Masters had plenty of great cards.
>Too bad I'm much too invested in Magic to even think about picking up another card game.
Even if you weren't, Duel Masters is dead, Kaijudo might be new Duel Masters but it killed everything that was good about the game.

>>24871247

That, plus limiting the number of available blockers, really speeds up the game for me. I honestly enjoy it more than Magic.

>>24871247
>>24871278
The game was made so children could enjoy something similar to magic, so when they got older (high school age) they could move on to the more strategically complex game while having an intuitive grasp of the basic mechanics. It is not a strategically deep game, but it can be fun to play for an hour or so before it gets boring, I remember some of the card were super broken though.

>>24871278
>I honestly enjoy it more than Magic.
So did a lot of people.

A part of reason why the game didn't take off is because 4kids parodied the anime series into some kind of inside joke and a lot of kids got turned off to the show, never getting to see how fun the card game is, the final nail in the coffin is letting the community decide the expansion names instead of just direct translating the original names.

I shouldn't complain, I got to name the second expansion set, but hindsight is always 20-20.

>>24871273
What did it change? I played Duel Masters, but not the new game.

>>24871408
WOTC is doing to the lore what 4KIDS did to the cartoon.

>>24871356
>>24871502

4Kids didn't dub the anime.

I feel the same way, OP. It's unfortunate, but what're ya gonna do?

>>24871529
Irrelevant, cartoon was raped and left by the wayside, who has done it is not important at this point, regardless of your desire to display your knowledge of useless trivia.

I tried to get into this when I was younger, but didn't for some reason. Probably because the kid explaining it to me did a shit job. Plus, the anime sucked compared to Yu-Gi-Oh, which was my go to card game at the time.

>>24871643
>>24871656
So it is western made? How did it got an anime?

>>24871622
Someone made a MtG anime. Then they changed it to Duelmasters and tried to sell the game that way.

>>24871739
It was a co-op betweren wizzard and a japanese company as basically a means to introduce card games to young audiences, since japanese use anime as a primary source of introduction to any game, it quickly got an anime, the anime was fairly adult for its audience, dealing with war and a world at crisis, when the cartoon came to the west it go voiced over into a series of marvel jokes and breaking the fourth wall, losing interest rapidly, as the cartoon never took off, the sales of the card game dropped, its still going on in japan, i think its like on its 25th expansion set, but american version died, some years later WOTC got together with koreans and re-did the series, the new series and the card game are barely a year old now but i wouldn't be surprised if it went the way of the first series since cartoon is incredibly.... americanime.

>>24871796
>Someone made a MtG anime. Then they changed it to Duelmasters and tried to sell the game that way.
stop being an asswipe when people are having a civilized conversation.

>>24871739
WOTC just had the rights to produce the English versions of the cards with a view to distributing them in the west.
Duel masters is actually a Japanese media franchise.

Though with respect to your question; Asian animation companies are relatively inexpensive to hire compared to western ones.

>So it is western made? How did it got an anime?
>>24871656
>The yugimans was popular and WotC wanted their jew gold

>The card game first originated in Japan and was marketed by Takara Tomy. It was produced in English by Wizards of the Coast, who purchased the rights to the name Duel Masters from Reality Simulations, Inc., which ran a play-by-mail gladiator game called Duelmasters, now known as Duel2. The English-language printing of the TCG ran from DM-01 Base Set (May 5, 2004) until DM-12 Thrash of the Hybrid Megacreatures (November, 2006). It was the twelfth and final expansion released by Wizards of the Coast for the English-language game; the Japanese game is still being produced.

>>24871840
>And how is the subbed anime?
Not bad, same as Medabots, and I mean Japanese Medabots, because it suffered from the same shit, it was originally a fairly mature series touching up on death and individuality, but got voiced over into more breaking the fourth wall and marvel references.

>>24871799

From the few episodes I've seen it isn't as bad as things used to be as far as destroying the plot, I can't say for sure but it definitely seems like they kept at least a bit of the darker stuff considering the fact that the big goal of the antagonists is making the monsters slaves or something.

>>24872120
You should not worry about originality.

>>24872279
>You should not worry about originality.
Nobody wants to buy a game they can already play with a different name, plus I'm pretty sure all those tcg out there have the implementation of their mechanics copy written to the letter.

>>24872563
What I ment is more complex: All creative works are made of pieces of other work plus some real life experiences or points of view.
Think about what you like or what will you want to see in a tcg and roll with that.

Nothing is purely original.

>>24872759
Well I got mechanics about 75% done, and just enough cards to play with those mechanics, but I wouldn't know what to do with it even if I finished it.

OP Kaijudo is actually pretty damn fun.

All of the regionals are getting dominated by LWD and 5-color dragon based decks because Wizards went full retard with cards like Andromeda of the Citadel.

I'm just shitty because they spoiled a 2 cost fire/nature dual civ stomper/beastkin which is the last fucking thing I need to see when playing lwd against saberbolt decks at regionals.

You can still buy boosters and booster boxes on Amazon for the basic price if you want the real thing, you can go to the main site (Just google duel masters) they have a database of all the sets with images of the cards if you wanna print them out, and there is this semi-famous program online (don't know name because I don't play card games online) that's used to play magic and yugioh and pokemon card games it also supports duel masters and I think there is some guy that made a small java based duel masters multiplayer game and the last time I checked he was updating with translations of japanese cards so you could uplay up to the latest expansions, including mechanics that never showed up in NA.

especially with all the new cards these days

>hey all of my blockers? yea they can attack now

Light were the coolest fuckers. This isn't even up for debate.

Seriously, robot space angel battleships.

Water was pretty badass too.
Fucking fish hard water reality hackers.

Like who fucking thinks of this shit.

I can't even tell what civilization half of those cards are supposed to be. Did they added multicolors or some shit?
How in the hell does that work in terms of the whole war thing?

Look at the mana numbers. Those are distinctive even when the rest of the card is a clusterfuck.

How does the mechanic of "MtG without lands" work?

>>24892842
the upside-down number on each card represents its mana value if you put it in the mana zone

>Light were the coolest fuckers

Badasses living beneaeth those fancy light civ shields beg to differ. Gravity gorillion times stronger, giant fucking bugs, giantER bugs, GIANTS, all that crazy magic shit, every plant and its mother trying to eat you...

Nature is best civ. Though I admit water had some slight appeal.

So you have to choose beatween taping you card for mana and taping them for their due effect?
Awesome!

>>24893300
no if you put your card in the mana zone in can only be used for mana

>>24893300
Well, the way it works is that you put one down a turn as your land. They were then a land permanently, unless something returns it to your hand.
Some nature and darkness civ cards did that.

MY BROTHAH!

They're back in the studio right now, maybe Herman Li happens to peruse /tg/ and he'll make a reference with the names. I mean shit, their last album had a song called "Wings of Liberty," if that isn't a blatant Starcraft 2 reference, I don't know what is.

>Dragonforce makes an entire album of nothing but DM references.

>>24892842
Come on now, I thought this was simple Magic?

>>24871192
Fuck year, guardians. Ladia Bale was the shit.

>>24892842
All cards are lands. You can either put them in play as their effects, or put them in your mana zone for mana. It's actually fairly strategical, because if you get a heavy hitter early, you might be tempted to dump it as mana to get monsters out quicker.

MAH MAN

Used to run mono-darkness and mono-light decks that were inverted copies of one another often.

(In case you didnt know there was an equivalent darkness card to every light)

Seems likely.
