You know what I miss with Hearthstone cards compared to real, physical cards?

[Deleted]

There is something I miss with Hearthstone cards. Something very important!

I always loved to do this with reall, physical cards! Especially right after I pulled them from the foil after a purchase...

The smell man! I can't sniff my cards anymore...

[Darknessvamp]

... Are you serious? I thought you were going to say trading with other people or something but smelling cards? Didn't they just smell like plastic?

[majinbebi]

There's a bit of a smell when there's a holographic (I suppose the hearthstone equivalent is golden) card. I do agree. There is something satisfying with it.

I'm upset that I can't lick my cards so that nobody else wants to touch them

[IntellectuallyChallenged]

I would miss it if the whole grid went down or all the servers exploded with no way of retrieving the data. Everything would be gone forever. Then, in about 2.4 seconds, I would get over it because it's not an important life altering event.

Male your own trading card scent candle in a milk carton

that's kind of creepy. thanks for sharing.

I really want to post a picture of Mr. Krabbs with the whole "That smelly smell..."

But I agree 100%. Same with newer video games, you wanna know what I did the moment I bought Smash for the Wii U and opened it up to find that massive instruction booklet? I sniffed the hell out of it, like a dog would your butt.

I don't know why, but I like the smell of new electronics

Nothing is quite satisfying as removing the thin plastic from a new phone.

You know what I love about digital cards compared to real, physical cards?

- You can't lose them
- Much harder to have someone steal them
- Can't be damaged
- Can't be banned (at least Hearthstone cards)
- Can be changed-and-updated without having to buy/create a new card
=== You get FULL value for cards you have that get changed
- You can obtain cards at your convenience/much quicker than physical
- You can have tons of random effects since the game can run an RNG insanely faster than a human (good luck playing physical Hearthstone where you need multiple different RNGs ranging from 2 to EVERY MINION/SPELL IN THE ENTIRE GAME [whatever that number is])
- You can play at your convenience. With physical card games, you typically need 2+ players near you (you COULD play on Skype, but come on)

I mean, this list goes on and on. The only cool things about physical is that you can hold them and trade them.

And sniff 'em. Snnnnnnfffff... aaahhh yeah. Factory new.

I loved the feel of cards after opening them. So slippery against each other.

You definitely can. Lick your screen

Leeroy and Tinkmaster kind of got banned. They got nerfed so hard nobody plays them anymore except Face Hunter and Eboladin (Leeroy)

[Gourmandise]

Don't you think it would be cool if they had a physical hearthstone pack in the blizzcon goodie bad.

Now that you mention it, trading Hearthstone cards would be great. Why can't we do that again?

As weird as it sounds I understand that feeling and the more I play hearthstone the more tempting it is to start playing Yugioh in Real life again

I never really stopped playing Yu-Gi-Oh but I stopped having people to play with. At the college there are people who will play it and even found someone to teach me Magic: The Gathering with one of their spare decks. But since times are so volatile when you sign up for classes I never see them on a regular basis so I never made the money commitment to actually buy more cards (or start buying for MtG).

I haven't stopped playing Yugioh I just stopped in Real Life I still use Devpro and DuelingNetwork. Anyways on topic it seems that this seems to be kind of a common issue by looking at this thread

Cards can and have been banned in hearthstone tournaments before.

- You can have tons of random effects since the game can run an RNG insanely faster than a human (good luck playing physical Hearthstone where you need multiple different RNGs ranging from 2 to EVERY MINION/SPELL IN THE ENTIRE GAME [whatever that number is])

You could quite easily do that with a couple of dice and a table which lists all the cards. Yes, a computer will be able to do it faster, but on the other hand you don't have a 70 seconds turn timer in real life so it doesn't matter if it takes a couple of seconds longer.
