Oh there's absolutely no dignity to the practice. There's no two ways about that.

Never heard of it but through the ancient and powerful magic of Google Search it seems like it is an good game, not the best but still ok.
Talking about the Battle Network, there seem to be others, and for some reason, some places seem to believe that the UFS Mega Man cards are it's own Mega Man card game despite it just being an expansion to the card game UFS.
To summarize, pick it if you really like Mega Man, but do not expect to find many players as the game seems dead and not very popular, one would be better off picking Magic, or Hex since it seems to be mostly an clone.
Or Duelyst with it's art style and animations, or Hearthstone with the huge playerbase, or SolForge with the whole level thing(basically every time you use a card, a better higher level version of that card appears, leading to three or four different level versions of one card with each level being stronger and the art on the card also becomes increasingly more badass), or Faeria that for now allows you to buy every card for 50 dollars or SpellWeaver with simple but strategic gameplay...at least that is what i hear, SpellWeaver is becoming popular among CCG fans and even newbies seem to really like it.

Really if I bought any anime or video game related cards it would be to collect. Yu-Gi-Oh is the only one that I play and that's only until my cousin leaves and thus I lose the only thing keeping me motivated. I tried playing on DevPro like I mentioned, but DevPro taught me quickly that this isn't a game you play for funzies anymore, you have to basically win in 5 turns or you might as well surrender.
It's just that when I was at a store last I noticed starter packs for a new Mega Man CCG (original Megaman, not Battle Network) and almost bought them for the novelty.

Oh there's absolutely no dignity to the practice. There's no two ways about that. Jason this is why you were my first favorite around here buddy. But yeah longevity is the biggest thing against CCGs. That all said, I really should recommend Hearthstone. It's a weaker Magic. It lacks the instant speed of that game, and yet so much remains similar. It's our shop's second game. As in every one of us plays it on occasion. And it's a really fun game. First game to convince me digital card games were possible. And my only two problems were, like I mentioned it lacks the ability to act on your opponent's turn, which is odd for a game that feels a lot like MtG. And the other one is that you can't buy individual cards, or trade. At least not since I've played. Which is infuriating. Because I know that packs are kind of a rip off if you want to build a competitive deck.

It has the problem that the game stacks the odds against you by giving you poor decks. Which in Magic is less the strength of the cards and how their mana curves are completely fucked. But every card game video game has this issue. Well the tweaking varies, but the MTG ones are the worst about it. Sometimes giving you multicolored decks with zero though on how easily you can play them. It's painful. Absolutely fucking painful.

The newer versions at least give you the option to build your deck completely from the ground up, albeit with a rather limited card pool (especially the 2015 edition). I'm currently playing the newest version on Steam and as someone who stopped playing the actual CCG years ago I've found them a good way to maintain a casual interest in the game.

If it is just for collection i say go for it. Many CCG games have great artwork in their cards making them great to look at, and for fans it should be nice to watch characters you like in the cards. Though for me, looking at lists of card games, if i were to ever collect card games i do not intend to play i would get Rangers Strike for the Tokusatsu theme, the original World Of Warcraft Tcg because it looks like a better version of Hearthstone before being replaced by said game(at least i like the general art style of this game more than the Hearthstone one) and Weib Schwarz, though that one only for the Madoka Magica, Nanoha, Attack On Titan, Fate/Zero and Stay Night, Disgaea, Crayon Shin-Chan, Kill La Kill, Persona 3 and 4, Sengoku Basara, Evangelion, KOF, Canaan and the upcoming Puyo Puyo cards...Weib Schwarz is an CCG based on anime and some video games, but those are the only series i could care about, also, looking at list made me sad that not all cards are in english or that no official digital version seems to be going to exist in the future, shame because i would main Puyo Puyo and Shin-Chan decks no matter how awful those cards would turn out to be. Also, this is the best card of any CCG ever. ...That is an actual card.

If someone really wanted to get into a competitive card game I would suggest one of the Fantasy Flight LCGs. With fixed card packs instead of random boosters it is much easier to get a complete play set. You just have to buy all the available product. Which can be expensive for some of the games that have been around awhile. To me Android: Netrunner, Game of Thrones, and even the Star Wars LCGs have more interesting and varied mechanics than the typical resource curves of Magic and Hearthstone. Netrunner especially is one of the most rewarding and unique card games I've played.
I don't really make the time to play in local tourneys anymore though. Mostly get my deck building fix through the co-op Lord of the Rings card game.
Can't stand the recent Magic video games. Like Klaid was mentioning they give you such terrible decks and so few options to manipulate them it ends up frustrating me more than anything. Plus the AI in some of them was rigged to respond with certain cards that they would magically have in hand. Every time. I had more fun playing the Pokemon card game online.

I had a hilarious incident in one of the Yu-Gi-Oh games for GBA, which I've already told the story of but I will repeat here.
I was playing Seto Kaiba. Fans of the anime will recognize him as the main antagonist/rival of the show.
I go first, and the only card I have in my hand worth playing is Blast Sphere. Its effect is that if its attacked while face-down it attaches to the monster that attacked, explodiates said monster at it's owners next standby phase, and the owner of the attacking monster takes damage equal to that monster's attack points.
You have to understand both players start with 8000 life points.
Kaiba immediately plays Cyber-Stein, whose affect allows him to summon any fusion monster by paying 5000 life points. He summons Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (4500 attack) and attacks my Blast Sphere.
I skip my next turn and win.
That this was Eternal Duelist's Soul, where opponents have post-match speeches, makes it even richer.

Yeah the AI in those games are dumb as balls. And really exploitable. Although my favorite actually during one of those is the move my brother made. He was about to win by deck out. When he attacked straight into a Mirror Force which is fantastic because he waited around for a dozen turns, and was going to win the next turn. But he attacked and lost and it was the dumbest thing.

Deck Builder games are ones like Star Realms and Cthulhu Realms correct?
