I actually collect video games now that are trading card based since I will never be able to have time to play local any more, you'd be surprised how many console/handheld games that are out there.
Heh, I used to play Tooth and Nail in Extended. Not a very interactive deck, but a fun one nonetheless!

I've actually been looking out for Trading Card-based video games, since it does often happen that I have no one to play with. If you have any to recommend, I'd love to hear em!

I use TCGPlayer. They're like the Amazon of Magic Cards and have a nice mass entry and cart optimizer to get the lowest overall price.

I take it to the extreme to consider some of these, but here's what I have so far some of these aren't traditional trading card games, but may incorporate some deck building, extensive card libraries and varied battle components.

PS3:
Eye of Judgment, Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5

PS2:
Duel Masters, Yu-Gi-Oh The Beginning of Destiny, Culdcept.

PS1:
FF8 & FF9 (Triad), Monster Rancher Battle Card, Battle Hunter, Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories, MTG Battlemage, Digimon Digital Card Battle.

Vita:
Uncharted (TCG, PSN)

PSP:
Marvel TCG, Metal Gear Acid 1 & 2, Neverland Card Battle, Warhammer Battle of Atluma, Yggdra Union.

Gamecube:
PSO: Episode III Card Rev, Lost Kingdoms 1 & 2, Baten Kaitos 1 & 2,Yu-Gi-Oh Falsebound Kingdom.

Xbox 360:
Bakugan, Culdcept Saga, Chaotic Shadow Warriors, Panzer General (xbla)
MTG 2012, 2013 (I wish these would basically be like real MTG, sorta defeats the purpose by how basic they are).

Xbox:
MTG battlegrounds, Yu-Gi-oh Dawn of Destiny.

GBC:
Pokémon TCG

PC:
MTG , MTG Duel of the Plains Walker, MTG Spell of Ancients.

If you can see the future while remembering the past, you may just have control of the present.

FF7 did NOT have the Triad card game in it - only 8 and 9 did, and the game is a horrible mockery in FF9 compared to FF8.

Thanks I'll correct that, Triad not being in FF7 is probably why I got to finish it and in FF8 I got no where as soon as I started playing Triad. Make sense lol.

I have a few decks, also have the online 2012 and 2013 editions. I don't play much, and when I do.. my friends and I never follow the rules. Great game though.

Anyone here into Warhammer 40k? It's not for the faint of heart as far as playing with a budget goes, but I love the modelling and painting aspect of it, as well as the game having probably the best backstory/history to it in the history of science fiction.

Don't play the figurine game, but I do have Dawn of War II which I find fun to play. :mrgreen:
