Love the video! The decklist in the description seems invalid for some reason tho :(
It should work now! Thanks for letting me know 🩶
Hey, could anyone quickly answer this for me? : What is the name of the character, besides Furina, who has Furina in their deck in TCG?
If you go to the wiki you'll find a list of all the stages and appearances of Furina in the TCG. I hope that helps!
I love it when I immediately recognize a fellow South African's accent while randomly consuming Genshin content
I don't know whether I should be proud or worried it's happened more than once...
I think Xianyun's Talent would be very useful in this deck, alot of swapping around and a good opportunity to snipe a character with her enhanced NA damage using Anemo Res potentially.
I did test it out but I couldn't find a good place to ever have it in the final list. My main problem with it is that it takes up a deck slot and you need to switch a lot to get a single instance of the damage boost. There might be a version of it that works but not one that I've tested.
2 Anemo: "I always come back"
2 Anemo is inevitable fr
Even though I don't play tcg at all I somehow still enjoy your videos❤and it's nice the way you explain the plays you do!
I really appreciate that!! My goal is to get better at doing these so that even someone who isn't too invested into the game can still understand what's going on! 💜
good, but after Navia got killed you should have ended turn and ramped on Dehya. Because the other deck uses FWoF and you would have died to 2x NA
I think if they had FWOF I would've just died whether I went for the ramp line or not though?
I'm sure the team is just called double superconduct, since it's just impossible without swirling.
Yeah that name makes sense!
Hii bestie!! Have a great day💚
Thank youuu💜💜

HOW DID YOU GET THE FISCL 2.8 BACKROUBD MUSIC THING
It's called the mittersommernactch Fantasie and it's on UA-cam on the HOYO-MiX channel~
@@Taktighoul oh I thought you could use it as tcg music Oops now I feel dumb xD
@shadowblaze1827 I wish we had the option to make BGM playlists for our TCG games 😮💨
I played against a Cyno overload deck for the first time today and lost pretty badly. I already knew that it was very op, but it was even crazier than expected! Do you think they will somehow nerf it in the next patch or do you think it’s already balanced enough?
There's definitely ways to counter it so I'm just waiting to see how it plays out relative to the greater meta. That said, there was definitely some interesting brews at the Prince Cup this weekend. (I made my list a week ago already aha)
Hoyoverse absolutely does not care for game's ballance. They are clearly completely oblivious to this. As they keep releasing overpowered nonsenses which they have to nerf later. It is happening constantly.... with character I want to play the most (Noelle) having less and less chances to be viable. :( Now when Navia came, I am using some of the copium that Noelle and Geo Resonance are still in the game somehow. <3
Yo CoolGrovyle!! It's great to see you outside the CTG server! Also yeah I agree with you. I'm hesitant that the nerfs we got are enough but we'll have to see. As for Noelle, Blep has a really spicy team her with and Navia and I recommend you go check it out!
@@Taktighoul I already did check it out and it was so satisfying to see Noelle again. In Blep's video no less <3 That really made my day and it gave me new energy to play TCG. However because of that horrible imballance done in patch 4.7, where rift between casual playing and meta got extremely wide, I was really considering quitting TCG for good. Because my mental health was seriously suffering when I just was simply not allowed to play deck I find fun, unless I was ready to lose every single match I play (even in arena... I struggled so hard). I mean I have fun playing TCG, I do not mind losing a game that much anymore. However I do mind when I am just not even theoretically able to win. (And due to my very empathetic nature and emotional basis my mainframe - brain - works on, I felt like I am letting Noelle down by playing her less.... don't mind me, I have massive inner child :D ). By the way even in that tournament of 4.7 match, I managed to get a win for Noelle <3 Because I got lucky and got matched with player who was complete newbie to tournament (but not to the TCG). After that I was kinda... numb to whatever was happening to me, because that one win was like fireplace in blizzard. Warming me, keeping me "alive" :3
why Countdown card in there? This deck has no discard mechanics at all.
It's just such insane raw draw and dice fixing that playing a single copy can get you out of sticky situations or find combo pieces. You'll find if you look at a lot of the top decks from last patch that they were running 1-2 copies of Countdown 3 just for the sheer value it brought!
@@Taktighoul only if you are in a bad situation, then dice fixing or getting combo comes in handy, but 3 cost makes you waste a whole skill. If you are playing aggressive deck it is better to bring along willow of lake for it is insanely low cost 4 cards for 1 dice
The benefit of countdown is that it's instant and can fish you out of those situations. Playing only a single copy is just a tech card that you don't have to always play but when you need it it saves you. While willow IS a good card it needs to be in the right deck to work well and break even.
To make a miracle by fishing game changing cards like fresh wind, in other words playing countdown full cost means u TRUST in CARDS more than your 3 DICES, it's up to BALANCING DICES AND CARDS USAGE. Putting 1 emergency card in is fine if u don't use it then tune it but if u need it u can use...u won't get it from my experience it will hide at the bottom of the deck, unseen like u never put it in. U DON'T NEED DISCARD mechanics to play countdown too, as u can see from HeraldSayu deck in 4.7 Prince Cup.
Exactly this! I'm really impressed you picked all that up just by watching the Prince Cup. Sometimes the 4 cards you draw is worth way more than the 3 dice you spend to draw them.
I like how you explain your every thought and move! Will be trying this deck
Ayo is this the actual Sue me???
I use those teams but someone stronger beats me after every 3 wins👹 can't win more than 4(it happened once)
You can get there I believe in you!!
Seeing such a classic deck make a come back is such a good feeling
Right?? New metas are always fun but seeing the classics just makes you happy
I really hope they’ll add more Bond-of-Life characters to TCG in the future! Arlecchino and Clorinde will have it for sure and maybe also Sigewinne?
Arleccchino would be interesting since she would self apply
there's also wpns that apply bond of life
I didn't notice they added weapons that have BoL to the TCG?
@@Taktighoul sorry to disappoint there aren't any yet but since you were discussing about bol i was just saying there are wpn like that
Ohhh, I thought I missed them adding one of the weapons in the patch notes!
Glad to see someone playing Frost Operative! Great video
They're so scary and I can't wait to see some Melt decks abusing the Bond mechanic
She’s really fun actually! I play her together with Mirror Maiden and another cryo character (forgot who it was TwT) to annoy the enemy :3
Oh God her in freeze seems busted
@@Taktighoul yeah, I’m really wondering if it’ll become meta!
I'll do some testing ehe
At 10:40 why didnt you just save golden house to help proc lumenstone next round, go to xiao, skill them down to 2, and then kill with yelan?
I honestly just didn't see that line until you mentioned it now. It was probably the wrong thing to do but I wanted to conserve as many dice for the next round as possible.
This deck could be seen a lot in the next patch since it doesnt run overpowered card like treasure to generate dice but instead use the provided 8 dices efficiently
It's one of the reasons I like the deck so much. It knows what it's gameplan is and it doesn't need a lot of ramp to get there cause it just bonks and focuses on the characters themselves
🤫🧏🏻♂️
I don't understand what you're trying to say sorry.
@@Taktighoul Garfield are you /j or /srs If it's srs: that's the mewing emotes, I don't quite get the meaning of the meme but people do those gestures and there's a song in the background that says "bye bye" The deck's name is mew (the original one at least) so mew -> mewing Like the other comment saying mew mew mew
Thanks for explaining! I know what MEW is just didn't know those were the emotes used for it aha

12:22 yelan otk
Yes?
It’s crazy how you got unlucky so many times with Kaveh‘s bloom core draw… I didn’t count but you drew a 0 cost card like at least 3 or 4 times TwT Is playing Kaveh with lower cost cards really worth it? Anyways, gg and nice that you posted another video! 🥳
You're getting a lower average damage with the lower cost cards vs just playing 3 cost boogaloo but I like having cards that actually do something vs just discard fodder.
@@Taktighoul understandable! It’s very fun playing around with your cards, but sometimes I actually enjoy the braindead 3 cost Kaveh gameplay xD
@VeliaOwO that's understandable aha. I tried it as a beginning base but I got myself into so many sticky situations with no ways out
Loving your commentary as always :)
This means so much to hear thank you!!! 💜
08:06 pretty sure this is a misplay here. The talent gives +2 damage if you have no cards, so you could have tuned for +2 damage and won the game then and there
Yun Jin was KO'd at this point which means that her talent lost its effect already. I probably should've still played the Geo res to check for damage but I don't think I could've gotten the +2. I did misplay a few times during this game aha
@@Taktighoul My bad, I didnt realise that per about her being down, therefore talent not working. That said, imo the game was already over at that point so doesn't change much in the end
While it doesn't change much I still appreciate the feedback as I do often miss stuff and the feedback helps me improve 💜
the only 3 characters i need to win. fishl, noelle and diluc. most games, i start by spawning oz and afterward, noelle can deal with everything else. other times, i start with noelle and genuinely never swap her unless forced (because of overload damage, for exemple). there are times where fishil and diluc deal with the opposition without any need for noelle. very rarely do i need all 3 to pull their weight. with overload, diluc's burst is a 1 shot kill on whoever get hit. meanwhile, once noelle's burst is activated, every enemies get killed in 2 hits (unless a shield is used). with her weapon, relic and artefact equip, my noelle swipe all she face. any health problem she face are generaly solved by using food.
I'm glad you're still able to have fun with your favourites!
@@Taktighoul having fun would be a bit much. i play tcg for completion. if what i'm looking for is to have fun, for now, there's nothing else to do for me on genshin. every single quests done, no more crowns to further upgrade my main team, no more acheivement to get besides commissions acheivements and others that i'm willingly waiting for, etc. for more fun times in genshin, i need to wait for more content. cleared everything that was added in 4.7 in less then half a day. i know there's more coming later, but this is... disapointing. not nearly enough new content. i guess i'll have to pass time with sports, se+ and other games.
1v1 me
Loser buys the other lunch less go
This sounds so much like YGO video lol So many nerfs and none of my favorites ever get buffs (Albedo and Kaeya). I stoppped playing back when they nerfed Maguu Kenki just as I started using it against NPCs, that kind of killed it for me.
I really feel you. Some old characters NEED the love
Yes the reason you can have cards like pot of greed is because of dice cost but they have basically nerfed dice cost into oblivion almost everything cost 0 dice by the second turn quicker if you get good draws and the dice generation is crazy now. Remember when paimon was the best dice generation card.
I randomly signed up for the recent wild card qualifier on a whim. I didn’t look up meta for fun and because people seemed to be divided on what meta even looked like. I went in with the best decks I could cook with my two brain cells. (Read: not good) My one opponent had Yelan OTK, Razor OTK and some stall variant as their 3 decks though I didn’t know those archetypes at the time. I banned the stall deck and yolo’d. Man facing the boar princess and underwater treasure engines for the first time were a wake up call that soured me on ever playing competitive GITCG again. I have no interest in playing against players when those engines exist because it all feels so pointless. Why try to be thoughtful with your 8 dice and strategize if the other guy will just have +20 dice in a single turn? And it’s not even like these engines are inconsistent or easy to stop. It’s built out of tutors and cheap draw spells. Good luck to anyone who enjoys PvP in GITCG. I hope they make it more enjoyable for you.
This is one of the things that I hate about the current state of the game. You thought to do something fun and albeit at a high level tournament but instead of having fun everything was ruined for you by unbalanced game design
Gilded dreams isn't even the problem anymore. I've gotten to the point where I don't even run the card in my magic decks because there's cards with similar effects that are much easier to deploy early. Heck, the yayoi nerf wasn't even impactful. Immediately after the announcement of the incoming nerf, I tested replacing yayoi package with mao 2 nsc and an MMR and my winrate drastically increased. The reason resonance decks have fallen off is that before, they had a monopoly on wovens, but in exchange you pay a deckbuilding cost to gain access. Now every deck has so many wovens available for free that that's no longer needed. The *other* issue is that decks have so much draw, which combined with said wovens means that the best ramp now is always just drawing more cards. Seelie is now just as dice positive as big paimon, but with no major downtime caused by sinking 3 dice into a card with no immediate effect. Heart of khavernah and boar princess are by far the biggest offenders, but with the addition of bonecrunch, even they may be passed by.
This definitely isn't completely up to date since when I started writing this script none of the tournaments for last patch had happened yet. Things have simmered down but it's like someone else in the comments said, GD is more a marker of inherently bad game design choices.
Buffing rainbow when rainbow is already dominant is a bit of an odd design choice. I fully expected something like this to happen, although I expected it to be more on the paimon-style side of things. Invokation has bizarre design, where because characters have to be made to feel related to their Genshin incarnations, there's no room for characters to have synergies with specific decks - cards can have synergy with characters, but characters can only have synergy with other characters. This means that there are no characters who are strongly unable to use any given card, and with the game starting out already quite search-heavy, that was always going to result in the best engines being used everywhere. It was only a matter of time before the best engines meant high search power and dice generation. If you wanted to fix this properly, the way it would have to be done would be by making characters directly relate to the contents of a deck. For example, maybe Arlecchino can't be equipped with artifacts, thereby incentivising a more weapon-focused deck. The other option would just be to accept that this best engine is simply how the game works now, and focus on ensuring there's still a good diversity of characters even when the decks behind them are similar.
This is a great outlook on things!
"killing" implies that it was ever alive xD
Except it was and a $16K prize for first tournament just happened soooo
Tbf I played the heck out of it after the first two patches until I couldn't make time out of my schedule to iron out the kinks
The viable resonance is faction resonance. The monster and especially fatui only cards are great.
OH NO NOT TCG HOW COULD THEY
Surprisingly a lot of people play the TCG
@@Taktighoul I mean a lot of people compared to what? 20 randoms walking into my house is a lot of people to me, this is a 60M players game, I don't believe TCG is close to even 10% of that.
It's hard to get a good estimate because Hoyo never released stats but on a fair guesstimate from the previous 2 Cat's Tail Gatherings there's at least 2K people per region across 4 regions that signed up for the tournament. That's 8K players that just signed up for that but there's more that didn't sign up because they either didn't know or didn't care. I don't think Hoyo would be putting resources, time and a LOT of money into the game mode if it wasn't being played. Edit: I forgot to mention there's a handful of TCG vids that I've seen with upwards of 100K views which means there's at least instrest in it. While a high ball of the overall player base (based on the TCG server having 241K members) may be like 300K people which is way less than the 60M players registered it's still no small number. Things also get sticky because there's no guarantee all the accounts of those 60M are active players since people have dupes and what not. TLDR: The exact player base count is unknown for TCG but there should comfortably be a good couple thousand active players
@@Taktighoul it's frustrating to see how much time and effort goes into this game mode when they have so much to do in the normal game to improve it. But I have as many slightly given up on Genshin looking forward to Elden Ring instead.
@@Taktighoul That's pretty much nothing to a game with an active player base in the 60 millions, not trying to be mean but the resources allocated onto making TCG are wasted, specially since it could be it's own game and that would make it even more accessible. The 60M is an estimate but it wouldn't change much even if it was half.
This TCG update has finally made me quit the TCG. I can't take it anymore.
Ah so it's now a regular TCG. And no longer a genshin meme. That being it's not full of ways for players to sweat there balls off and a mass disparity between top strategys. Man it's almost like this is a card game and that's what happens in card games. Pretty sure hoyo design team stopped caring and IRL TCG sweats got ahold of this game killing it for everyone. If u not about that life. My advice. Just walk away because it's NEVER going to change
I used to be a comp MTG player so I'm way too used to it at this point but I still enjoy playing the game. Thought this vid would be an interesting look at things though given how many casuals there are to the game and without them no game can survive.
@@Taktighoul yikes 😬 then u already know. That last sentence was mainly towards everyone else but yeah I can definitely say the video was good though so your good on that front. Worst part is if this game was in physical paper form I'd probably play it which sucks cause of what this game turned into
I played tcg once and never again so this was interesting 😂
*TL;DR: I rambled a bunch about Pokémon decks but I think the GITCG should either have people deck out to mitigate milling or retroactively implement rules like Supporters and Items in Pokémon. I don’t think the meta has ever really lasted long enough for people to deck out, but it would be a start.** Since the majority of my TCG knowledge is Pokémon, I thought about some ideas that could serve as a basis for possible GITCG changes. The game doesn’t last long enough for this to be a viable fix as of now, but a mechanic where you automatically lose if you can’t draw a card at the end of your turn might help a little. End Phase drawing makes it a little tricky to decide when to call the loss though. I was thinking about how Night March was a haha funny deck where you could set up Basic Pokémon with low cost attacks that could do insane amounts of damage (200+) and sweep your opponent at the risk of decking out via milling or having no Pokémon fielded after a KO. Of course, that was back around 2015 but Yanmega BREAK still made use of the Night March concept with sub carry Vesbiquen and Bee Revenge in the 2016 World Champs. More recently we have stuff like Radiant Greninja that lets you draw a card in exchange for discarding an energy and was used to help the Gardevoir EX engine snowball in endgame or the Solrock/Lunatone engine that can easily dish out 120+ damage per turn on Lunatone and sustain 270 a turn with Mewtwo VStar unless your opponent had aggressive bench sniping. But all of these decks still run the risk of decking out or have other disadvantages. Gardevoir EX requires a full evolution chain and takes 20 damage for every energy attached via its ability and Lunatone is easily KO’d like Night March carries while Mewtwo VStar is a two cost card and starts to crumble if your Solrocks get sniped and you can’t restore your energy sustain, both leading to death by a thousand cuts every time a Solrock is KO’d. GITCG has none of these and starts coming down to who goes first and who gets better RNG to draw every card they need and sweep on Round 3~. I think retroactively classifying cards like Pokémon may help. Only being able to play 1 Supporter per turn means you have to choose between disrupting your opponent with Boss’s Orders or drawing with Iono/N/whoever. Items have their own limitations. Ultra Ball requiring you to discard 2 cards, Capturing Aroma requiring a coin flip to determine what card you can draw. You also can’t play Supporter’s on Turn 1 which would prevent people from unloading an entire hand of Companion Cards when the match starts. The problem with this is that it cuts both ways and doesn’t really do anything to help Resonance decks. Anyways, I was just thinking about how much fun I have playing Ice Path FTW even though it’s 7 years old at this point and outclassed by other decks. (Also, the normal Alolan Ninetales theme deck shutting down EX and GX carries is funny to me)
Thank you for this very good analysis! Personally, I think a 1/turn nerf to both gilded & lyresong might be a useful starting point.
I'm still baffled as to why we don't have ANY "cards X and Y cannot be put in the same deck simultaneously" restrictions. Sounds like a good solution to me which doesn't require nerfs to cards themselves. You could play your fav card at full strength if you enjoy it, just not TOGETHER with another card which makes it too OP.
Tbh, I only ever built decks in the beginning of the game. It was quite fun back then, when people still tried to figure out the game, but like with the original game, the meta was discovered pretty quickly and it didn't seem like they were trying to fix the cards that much. The only reason I was looking into TCG videos again was because despite all that, I still played the general challenges that didn't require you to play PvP, but with the Apep boss, I noticed for the first time, how outclassed these old decks are. It wasn't even possible to beat the guy and now I get why he casually did like 5 damage for one dice at times, because it seems the economy has been so bad that this is the genuine state of the game.
