Ruined FOREVER (Darth Wiki)/Tabletop Games/Card Games


 * Very, very bad in Magic: The Gathering. It's gotten to the point where "Magic is dead!" has essentially become Memetic Mutation.
 * This is the reaction of many fans to every release of a new Magic: The Gathering set. Even a single card, to many, can spell the doom of the game - witness the reactions to Tarmogoyf, Remand, and Umezawa's Jitte, to name a few prominent examples. Keep in mind that a new set is released every three months; that each year brings a new block (meaning cards from the previous block are no longer relevant in block-format tournaments or drafting); and that Wizards of the Coast has made a Banned/Restricted list for cards that break the game too hard. Even when Wizards brings back old cards, fans will decry some choices as being The End of MtG - even though they didn't break the game the first time around.
 * In 2009, Wizards of the Coast have updated the official rules to make the game more accessible to more casual players. You know what that means...
 * Magic always has been, and always will be ruined forever. That's part of what makes it such a great game.
 * The joke/truism passed around MtG circles is that Wizards could include 100-dollar bills in every pack and people would complain they were folded wrong.
 * Yu-Gi-Oh!, ho-boy:
 * Chaos and Heroes ruined the game forever!!!!
 * No, the Pyramid of Light ruined the game forever!!!!
 * The kid's toy duel disc system ruined the game forever!!!
 * Synchro-monsters ruined the game FOREVER!!!
 * The newest ban list ruined the game FOREVER!!! (This happens every time a ban list comes out, by the way.)
 * Wanna know why the above is mentioned? LIGHTLORDS RUINED THE GAME FOREVER!!!
 * UPPER DECK RUINED YU-GI-OH FOREVER!!!
 * Exceed Monsters will ruin the game forever!!!
 * Pendulum Summons?! And rule changes? Two Field Spells at the same time?! Player who goes first can't draw?! WHAT MADNESS IS THIS? YU-GI-OH IS DEAD!! DEAD, I TELL YOU!!!
 * Nekroz, Qliphort, and Shaddoll will ruin the game forever!!!!
 * Zoodiac will ruin the game forever!!!
 * Link Monsters?? Only one Extra Monster zone per player? Requires additional Link Monsters to expand zones for Extra Deck monsters?! Pendulum Zones now incorporated into backrow?  And tons of rule changes? This game is history!
 * You can bet players will claim that the next meta decks to hit the game will leave it ruined forever too.
 * The same can be said for the next change in Yu-Gi-Oh. It's always the same when a new deck, set, archetype, or mechanic hits the shelves. Despite this, the game has sold well since 1999 and is unlikely to stop anytime soon.
 * All the donks have ruined Poker FOREVER!!!!
 * ESPN has ruined poker FOREVER!!!!
 * Texas Hold'em has ruined poker forever.
 * Champions of the Galaxy is a very small press game with a very...dedicated and invested...fanbase, many of whom have been playing for twenty years. A recent move from B&W cards to full colour has ruined it forever.
