MTG has the worst resource system of all major TCGs.

While it's my favourite game of all time, their are inherent flaws with land cards.

Many of those flaws have been addressed by some of the new kids on the block.

In our latest video, we rank every TCG resource system.

Which TCG do you think has the best/worst resource system?

IMPORTANT UPDATE!!

We have had numerous reports over the last week of a FAKE VERSION of Gathering Games that uses a DIFFERENT web address (https://gatheringgamestcg.myshopify.com). This website has NO AFFLITIATION TO GATHERING GAMES.

It seems the individual(s) doing this are NOT fulfilling orders after taking payment.

The only web address that Gathering Games uses is gatheringgames.co.uk, which can be seen by searching us from any decent search engine and it is the link used on all of our social media.

We are currently taking legal action against the individual(s) behind this fake GG website. Please share this for awareness as I do not wish anyone else to be scammed by them.

This is the one. This is the set to begin 2025 in the Pokémon TCG hobby. This is the set taking the community by storm.

Fans are getting excited, and rightly so. Prismatic Evolutions is giving us an eeveelutions-focused set, combining competitive viability with artworks that have fans clamouring over these stellar Tera variants.

However, if you peer beyond the fanfare and look critically, you’ll find cards that are ready to leave their mark on the meta, spawning new archetypes or slotting neatly into existing builds.

Let's cover the 10 most important cards that you need to know about coming out in Prismatic Evolutions...

I'm just gonna say it. I HATE Monopoly.

I don't get why it's so popular.

There are COUNTLESS great games that work BETTER as gateway board games.

We made a list of games so you NEVER have to play Monopoly ever again.

Hello class. Today's lesson will be on the Azalea Armoury Deck. Let's get into it!

Growing up in the Pits isn’t easy. The harsh and turbulent environment hardened Azalea, leaving her cynical and callous. Having to fight just to survive, Azalea taught herself to fight, hunt and kill. The skills she learnt in the shadowed alleyways are honed to a razor's edge.

From Blackjack’s Tavern, Azalea has carved out her reputation as one of the best mercenaries in the area. Despite the chaos and disorder surrounding her, Azalea carefully chooses contracts, going to great lengths to ensure a perfect ex*****on.

So grab your quivers and nock an arrow as we dive head first into the Azalea, Ace in the Hole Armory deck.

Brotherly rivalry amplifies the MTG experience.

Many years ago, I started playing MTG with my brother Sahd. Our favourite format was always sealed. It was such a fun way to explore all of the old sets we missed out on.

The best bit of it all was the banter we had. Finally, we've managed to capture some of that magic on camera in our first Let's Play video of Duskmourn Sealed over at our YouTube channel. Enjoy!
