Dweller of Parables Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I thought you all covered this already.Old, but should be fun to discuss.As you may know by now, MTG is going to release a new sub in Zendikar.Trap...http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=177311 Traps, as we all know, are a mechanic in YuGiOh, where you lay them facedown in play and activate them when some conditional trigger allows. For a long time, Magic has had conditional triggers as well; we call them triggered abilities. Now, our triggered abilities have usually been on cards that are in play, and instants were the way to surprise your opponent. The new instant subtype, Trap, is just another in a long line of ways to cheat things into play for less mana than usual. Recently, we had the Hideaway lands to play things for one mana when a conditional trigger was met; we're simply getting a new block mechanic to do the same thing with less cards. Yes, we're now sharing terminology with YuGiOh, but Magic is not being diminished in the least by this addition. YGO players don't have lands, they don't have mana costs to pay, and they have a limit on the amount of things in play. We still have a unique and ever-changing game with timeless strategy and depth. Our Trap cards are just instants with secondary costs; and there is no reason to panic. Please, save the fear mongering about the 'death' of Magic for when they print a block without lands and force us to sacrifice out creatures for bigger ones.

Exiro Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 When YGO started, they stole the term 'Magic Cards' from MTG, being what we call Spell Cards. Now, years later, MTG takes it's revenge by using the term 'Trap Cards'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crow™ Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I don't think they should change the name Trap to something else...And Zendikar sounds bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweller of Parables Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Who cares? gtfoThe future.I don't think they should change the name Trap to something else...And Zendikar sounds bad. Zendikar is a name. xPJust like Alara, Ravinca, etc. I can't complain, the tcg is good, f*** the names for all I care as long as they aren't as bad as Seto or Jar Jar Binks...,,.,.

OmegaWave Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Yugioh isn't gonna change. We changed Magic to Spell because Magic was there first. But Yugioh had Trap Cards first. So if anything, Magic will change their Traps. Although, I wouldn't mind our cards being called Reverse Cards like they are in the Jap Anime.

Mothers and other religious groups decided Magic was a bad term, not Yugioh. So instead, YGO now uses Spells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Lightray Daedalus- Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I checked up what the MTG Trap cards were, it is just a new word (Subtype) for cards that can be played by an alternate cost while some condition happens... so It doesn't have much to do with YuGiOh! cards...
