So, as a small disclaimer, I have been out of the TCG scene for close to 8 years. Between my other hobbies and having to cut back somewhere, I never played with people often enough to find the hobby worth it for me to continue on.
I never lost my love of the TCG scene though, and recently I started creating a list of some of my favorite card artwork from various games that I played, and I thought it would be cool if other people would share some of their favorite cards from any TCG they may currently be playing, or have played and enjoyed in the past. Here are some of my favorite cards from what I have played or collected over the years:
1) Charizard
I know...it's cliche. Everyone wanted this card as a kid and I was one of the lucky ones to get it in one of my first packs as a child. I remember how I got it like it was yesterday. I was ten years old or so and I was on holiday break with my mother. When I was younger, she would always try to find things to do with me when we were on vacation, so one day in the middle of break she took me out to the mall and she bought me a few packs of the base set and then took me to Burger King (which has been LONG gone for about 15 years or so now.) I remember how I was eating my chicken tenders and I opened the first pack and out pops this fucker. I started freaking out and crying and my mom pretended to be happy for me. This is only the start of my Charizard story though.
A few weeks later, I had brought all of my Pokemon cards to my cousin's house who I looked up to as a kid (he's about 4 years older than I am), and I decided to show him my shiny new Charizard. Now that I look back on it, it was abundantly clear that he was envious of me owning one, and after I had left his house I noticed that Charizard was missing from my binder. I have NO IDEA HOW THIS HAPPENED. Even to this day, if I try to think about it I don't know how he got his hands on it. I kept that binder close to me at all times. I don't even remember setting it down. I remember crying my eyes out and then getting a call that they found my card, and it was "In a potted plant in the bushes." Fuck that, no it wasnt. He got his grubby hands on my Charizard. After that, I put my Charizard into one of those plastic card holders and he still sits there to this day. I'll never sell him, and he is still to this day one of my prized posessions.
2) Gemeni Elf
One of the first super OP Yugioh cards that I can remember. That 1900 ATK and searchablilty due to the low defense made this monster a tank in the Yugioh Scene for a long while. I was never particularly into the art of the card, but you were definitely hot shit if you had it in your deck.
3) Harpie Lady
The boobs blew my mind.
4) Dark Magican Girl
The boobs blew my mind again.
5) Chaos Emperor Dragon
This is one bad ass motherfucker right here. Dude was so clutch he was basically banned the instant he came out. Shout out to this guy as well:
I actually owned him and used him frequently. Another one of my proudest moments in Yugioh history.
I have quite a few more that I love, but I want to see cards both new and old that you may love or use regularly. Digital games (Harthstone, ect.) are cool as well!
