"It doesn't have to be mammals!" CYOTC helpfully interjects.
"This is fair. I should not have been so specific."
”I didn’t know you knew a queen, what’s she like?”

Day 1 - CYOGTCG Math
Eventually, the bell rings to signal it is time for your next period, and a man who can only be described as the culmination of math teacher stereotypes comes to bring you to your first class of the new school year. Specifically, the Class of CYOGTCG Math. He begins his lecture, far drier than a school that's literally teaching you how to play the most beloved game on the planet logically should be.

"Now, while it is generally assumed that many of you have gathered the very basics of CYOGTCG through cultural osmosis at the very least, I would be a poor teacher if I risked leaving any..." The camera cuts over to Wichtel, who has very clearly only avoided falling over because her awkward sitting position leaves her leaning against the wall "... exceptions behind."

As stated, you learn the most basic of basics. When one Unit card(the term for a card that naturally has a number higher than 0 in either stat) attacks another, both have the opposing card's "Attack" stat subtracted from their "Hearts" stat. When the Hearts stat is 0 and no effects apply that would change what happens to it, the card is sent to your Discard Pile, informally referred to as the "Graveyard".

Most importantly however, you learn how to choose whether the cards Attack or Hearts stat will be higher, and are given the opportunity to make a card. Strangely, it is strictly optional to actually use the thing you just learned when making this card. Weird.

(Also Elven Engineer is one of the stronger cards, because it’s a 0-cost stat-scaler, a very highly desired effect, if done correctly with our early decks it can just snowball out of proportions. Actually because it can target itself, if you had the first turn and played it, you would be basically able to checkmate your opponent if they didn’t have removal or a strong 1-star card to play. A simple change I think is if it gave +2 Attack instead so at least so it can still uptick a card’s offensive power while not making a card be able to grow its health and be able to make better trades.)

Glenn Jerkson prepares a card. She also comments. "I am under the impression that if a card which does not naturally have an attack or heart stat of more than zero somehow gains hearts, it would still follow the same combat rules as a card that is designated as a 'unit'. Could you confirm if this is indeed the case?"

websim.ai is coming dangerously close to being able to run Gridhood. Maybe I'll live to see the day if I exercise, eat right, and somehow convince the world's governments not to nuke everyone.

"Yes Miss Jerkson, you are indeed correct. Very astute of you." The teacher responds.


(Also, while yes the Elven Engineer can get strong fast, I will note that the Core Set already contains two different cards that can counter it even if the elf is played the turn before. That being said, if I was to remove the HP buff option, it would be to make the Unit stronger, rather than the Attack buff it provides.)

Dagon can't so much as drum up an iota focus, both for the dull first class, mirroring all of Galileo's lectures, or for the creation of his next wholly personal card. Something he should very well be excited for. His eyes are drawn across the classroom toward the rest of the students, many of which are already hard at work. "Magic. . . Magic. . . Magic. . ." He mumbles idly, until at last his gaze sets on the teacher, reading dry words off a textbook page. Their balding head reflects the fluorescent light ever so slightly, sending a little bit of inspiration Dagon's way.

It's interesting to see legends of others. Was it really a fox that stole fire? Unlikely, but interesting. And what if it did do all that? In this world of CYOGTCG anything is possible. Even that G fellow actually winning a match against my sister.

((Okay, as much as I want to support a game in which any theme can be used, Bacteria somehow manages to fall into that space that is somehow both super specific and incredibly vague such that I, having a pretty average level of biology knowledge, can't make cards for it I'd be happy with.

I'd like to please ask that you expand the theme to something broader(Microbes or Diseases, for example) such that more specific or descriptive examples can be used in the future, rather than me simply having to look up scientific terms and hope I can find something that I think can be used.

I'm sorry about having to do this, and wish I had realized the problem earlier so I could have said something sooner.))

Cards that do battle with this card take 1 heart of damage at the end of their owner's turn. This does not stack. 0 Attack, 3 Hearts.

(Simply from a wikipedia looksie. Might suggest upgrading to cells, though that has a similar issue..)
