It's gambling. Mtg had it with ante, and it's illegal in the US, so they had to universally ban every card that referenced ante and remove the mechanic from the game.

Okay, right, but what if instead of taking opponent's cards you can swap them for your own? Like taking a good one for one of your shitty ones. Legally speaking, would that be a workaround?

Are you making Triple Triad, anon?

I don't really see the appeal in paying lots of money for the material required for my hobby and then losing it as part of the hobby.

>>44607350
But you would be equally likely to win cards you didn't pay for

>>44606216
Further, most people will just ignore that rule entirely.

I think when card games rules are deviated from you have created a new card game

>>44606588
No, that'd still technically be gambling.

Listen man, a lot of fucking lawyers who know a hell of a lot more about this stuff than you do have gone over this shit backwards and forwards a million times. You're fighting a losing battle here. Just don't do it.

>>44606588
Anon, that's even worse. "Here, let me give you a shitty reminder that you lost."

>>44606588
Nope, still gambling.

Yes. Also it would drive away the player base since there'd be decks designed around stealing as many cards as possible.

If every deck wasn't designed around stealing as many cards as possible you've missed they've missed the point of the game.

You've missed**
Whoops

Well I wouldn't play that game. I'd play MTG.

Is "marbles" illegal?

Better question:

Would anons join an event where each player starts with a deck that they then use to challenge other people with the winner getting the right to exchange one card with the opponent. The aim would be to beat someone from the event team with a pre-constructed deck.

Also, you're probably in a maze or something, like a tournament from the Yugioh anime or some shit.
