One thing about original Yugioh card art is how Unique and interesting it is. But I feel like it always lacked in sci-fi. Maybe if they had like a space monkey from the moon on one of the og sets. One with like a Tesla gun that could protect your field with a barrier or sth

As an EXVS player I have asked the question “does Bandai even care about the western playerbase?” many times over the years and I’m gonna hold your hand when I say this
I am extremely disappointed with Bandai and we as a community should not be happy with this announcement.
Yes it's brilliant that NA are getting top cut but B03 sideboard as a top cut only format does absolutely nothing to improve the gameplay experience for the majority of players in the room. The game is not made better by this half-measure. I could have accepted this for regionals while the format was trialed but this now marks the second year in the row where the Japanese players are treated with a level of respect not afforded to us Western players. Not only will the Japanese players have a finals entirely in the B03 sideboard format, but they will also have it in the format much closer to the one that worlds will be played in.
That's not even discussing the prizing structure which is just an absolute joke. I was ready to fly out to the US to try and participate in their finals, I'm not very unsure about whether that's worth my time. Do Bandai actually care about the western playerbase? It doesn't feel like it. I'm genuinely questioning whether I will continue to play gundam into 2027.

We managed to piece together a collab livestream (22h GMT+2), in 2 hours to talk about the competitive scene in Gundam TCG and the changes made recently. Feat. @Allonsyyy_ @vortex_tcg @Russ_TCG
We welcome all players to join the chat in our stream to talk about @GUNDAM_GCG_ENG
I almost want to say this sounds wrong, but then again they are providing 1st anniversary packs as compensation for tops which feels like a slap in the face to both WCQ Regional applicants and the players who may have missed opportunities to play in the 1st anniversary events.
Because I haven't tweeted enough about the Gundam finals situation today, good news everyone I have figured out why Amuros aren't participation in the west!
It's very simple, Bandai just fucked up production 💀
The number of amuros being given out this year is 64 + 16 = 80. 80x4 = 320.
Last year there were about 90 at NA, 90 at EU, and then 64 at each of OCE and LATAM which gives us around 320.
Clearly someone at bandai just ordered the exact same amount to be printed without calculating how many people would qualify. This also explains why there are fuck all season 2 store champs.
Never assume malice when incompetence is an adequate explanation...

This is the equivalent of putting a tourniquet on someone with a cut on their arm, after being was stabbed in the abdomen a full year prior.
Competitive #GCG requires BO3 due to the way the #gundamcardgame was designed from the ground up, and this is immediately concerning. 1/2
