A Quick Review On Elestrals TCG 

I know nothing about the game, but I find your videos incredibly entertaining. Not sure if Elestrals is a game I'd love, though I did enjoy the original version of Yu-Gi-Oh some years ago.

Nice video overall. One thing to note is the cards have gotten alot of balance changes since prototype cards, and that the proto decks didn't have a ton of removal so they did tens to snowball. But it's less prevalent in constructed games Also I see you using my TTS mod 👀

I wish we would see more of their road map, I really don't wanna spend what they are asking on starters but if that'd the only product we get for like a year I may have to. The game is fine. But it really hyper focuses on some core issues of early GX yugioh without powerful removal. Will be interested in seeing set 2 if it ever exists

man i love that age of mythology ost...

Enjoyed your take on the game. Most people would just bash without having any idea how the game even works. Its very refreshing and entertaining! 👍

I havent backed a tcg kickstarter in years but i finally decided to. Alpha clash tcg is by far the most promising and fleshed out in my opinion. Wish it had a bigger following but it did get fully funded in 10 minutes so thats cool. I tried convincing myself to do sorcery, kryptik, GA and elestrals but just couldnt justify it. Market is so over saturated. At least elestrals plans for a digital release. Lot of potential there.

also see some design space on the spirit side for UW effects

great video: game seems like a bit of exodus, yugioh and pokemon.

Master Rule 5 looking nice!!

in that explanation, already sounds confusing, jeez lol -- "UNDERWORLD!!!!!!!!!"

THE UNDERWORLD!

This game feels like a middle ground between Yugioh!, Pokémon and Hearthstone. Suffice to say, I'm interested.

Video is very well done. This was very entertaining to watch.

With all these KS games that have released and that have failed, I think I am spent on backing random games. With all the mainstream games, there's not enough time to play all of them. Especially if you go to locals once a week and just playing 1 card game takes 4-5 hours to just find a winner lol

Life Decking with the Resource Deck is...something. It seems like it will either lead to snowballing situations or OTK decks. I feel like it would be better to let cards act like spirits if played rotated 180°, and that's how you ascended elestrals...(like how Duel Masters does resource)... Also I'm a little confused if they intend to have 5 or 8 distinct colors/elements. It seems the first set uses only 5 distinct elements(Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Thunder), but there's like 3 other ones(Ice?, Light?, & Dark?). Maybe it's a last minute change, but I think it's a good idea to reduce it down to 5(+ the neutral "Any" element cards).

Seems like a fairly interesting game, but I'm not really in a position to be able to play even popular TGCs in person, much less semi-obscure Kickstarter TCGs. So if there isn't a digital version of the game I'm probably never going to touch it. There is a digital app version on the stretch goals list up next, but we'll see how that goes. $25 USD + Shipping + Tax is an insane ask for the buy-in to a TCG btw, if they can't get those prices down fast post-campaign this whole thing may well be dead in the water, and they're implying that prices will be going UP afterwards so that's not a great sign. Also not sure how I feel about them cheekily setting their goal on KS to $1, meaning that backers have no idea what the project managers think they need to succeed, and that said managers will be getting all the money donated to the project regardless of how hard it fails. Seems kinda scummy and I'm not sure why KS even allows you to do that. Between that and all the stretch goals that basically boil down to "Now that you've spent enough money collectively we're allowing each of you to spend even MORE money on more new products!" or "hey you all get 1 whole ($0.10) extra card on your order!" makes the whole thing feel less like a project getting itself off the ground, and more like a youtuber merch store with really predatory marketing gimmicks.

That AoM music 😍😍 Elestrals is quite cool imo

I'm getting the cards. All 5 starter decks and a booster box as well as the founder's pack.

Cracked work as usual, cardboard cryptman

This was incredibly informative and entertaining. Can’t help but draw some similarities to another game that exists in the indie space 🫣

Great video as always. My biggest concern with the game is tying the life system to resources. It seems like if you're down big, it'd be hard to come back. Did that manifest at all?

Great job with the video! As someone who's making a TCG with Life as the main resource too, its interesting to see the similarities and differences. I like how they implemented the resources. Reminds me a bit of Exodus TCG. Overall, good breakdown of the game! Keep up the good work! And as always... aim high, and pierce the skyscape!

whit out ever seen this game i had a similar idea for a card game like this I was bulding on but I wasn't sure what to do with the "Life/Cost" I was trying to think of something like Duel Masters with 5 cards shiled, and I thogh of using flip coin rng but seen your video made me recalculate, meaby for another game mode. I am currently replaying Duel Monster on the ps2 and notice how slow the game is and am trying to figure out if I can use a similar meccanic and speed it up without going to complicated. I just want monster to trasmute into cost/and have a side "element base" i have an idea but also don't want to punish the losing player too much or stop the winning player

Did you forget to mention stellars? aDrive’s content upbringing revolved heavily around finding 1 in 4096 shiny Pokémon. He incorporated a similar element into his game called stellars where you can find an alternate designed version, where each stellar card is numbered 1-99. Only 99 of each type of stellar exist in the world

Nice

Best how to play iv seen 🙌🏼

👍🏼 subbed

Im sorry if you mentioned it in the video i watched it a day ago but youre the only person ive seen playing the game digitally, how are you playing it? And if its custom cards where did you get all the pictures to make the cards?

I’m so glad I found you from the 6.9 opening. Regardless of the video type they make me laugh.

oh i think i've heard this game is getting support for an ar version where the cards come to life too ???

You sound like one of the Burbank brothers

Great content my friend, you deserve the sub. Your take was great and very entertaining to watch.

wait, so when you do the spirit thing, is it random? or do you search your spirit deck for one you want?

Underworld!

nice vid, I'm glad I found your channel

do you think theres a mental block with new mechanic creation? every tcg now feels like a redo of something we have seen before

What is the Tabletop/Card Simulator that is used in this video?

Never wanted to touch Yugioh, a lot of the reasons fall on card frame/text size and the community around it, but I'm all on board for this. Appealing characters and cleaner frames, just looks better. Having a determined creator helps too.

Had no clue aDrive had a card game made. That's pretty cool. The game itself? Meh

Colesterol

Looks very complicated

To me, actual game mechanics are secondary to aesthetics. And I gotta say I will take Fakemon over yet another generic fantasy dungeons and dragons-esque setting with the same elves, wizards, and orcs we've seen ten thousand million billion times already. I hope Elestrals does well.

The game has its charming design and gameplay but its life decking is a huge turn down.

I think it will fail
