[QUOTE="ProfessorCirno, post: 5282076, member: 65637"] TO step in: The reason CCGs and Gamma World are not relatable is because most if not all CCGs - including the quoted Magic the Gathering - are [I]competitive[/I] games. There is no DM, it's two (or more) players fighting each other. In those cases, having more cards to choose from will give you a more powerful deck, which indeed is what you want. But in this case, that's not entirely true. For starters, there is the assumption you're making that newer cards will be more "powerful" then older ones, which we don't for certain know. Secondly, the very idea of making a "stronger" deck won't be a part of the game; there is no strategy involved in Gamma World decks, you just draw a card and [I]welp, that's what you have[/I]. Thirdly, as has been mentioned, we don't even know if players will have their own decks in the first place. It may be that players just bring their favorite cards with them, they all get mingled into one big mutations deck, and everyone draws from that. Fourthly, [I]even if all of those were true[/I], it doesn't change the fact that Gamma World isn't competitive. You aren't fighting the other players. What player 1 has in his deck in no way effects your game. So no, this isn't comparable to MtG. Or Yugioh. Or 7th Sea, or L5R, or etc, etc, etc. [/QUOTE]
