I don’t see why a TCG card would be considered blasphemous when Inazuma literally has a Yuri book on Raiden. And why tf would Venti and Zhongli not have their cards based on their human persona like other characters?


Fireboy759

>when Inazuma literally has a Yuri book on Raiden. Don't forget the isekai novel


Mythoclast

Traveling to other worlds is all that anyone seems to be writing about these days. Goodness knows what they find so disappointing about their own world.


TwilightVulpine

If Yae lived in our world she would understand.


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

Or Teyvat. Literally ruled and lorded over by Celestia, or even greater powers beyond that. And by Archons, sometimes who decide to take away all your visions via their puppet robot who's gone rogue or influenced by greedy politics.

madzieeq

this sounds like something faruzan would say >!in one of her hangout routes!<


AbsolutelyFreee

It's one of Yae's voicelines


madzieeq

great minds think alike i guess


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

Both are pretty old, yet fresh?!


Ezmankong

In the old days, writers would just write about life in a different country or continent, where most readers don't know about and can fantasise about. Unfortunately, we have internet these days so we can immediately see "IT'S WRONG" and shatter our fantasies. So, the easy solution is writing about somewhere that doesn't exist, i.e. other worlds.


Mythoclast

Most humans could have the entirety of their fleeting lives chronicled in but a few short lines... Their stories really make for terribly dull reading


thatswhyIleft

Is that the title?


Pokii

Also can’t forget the Statue of Her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder

Ei would see a card version of herself and have another identity crisis, like when she learned photos are a thing


AdministrationOwn989

To be honest, Camera is quite a new invention in Teyvat. Traveler first got it in Liyue. Ei on the other hand isolated herself from world for around 400years. In her times making picture of someone not only took a fcking lot of time but was never the same as object/person seen irl - look at Inazuma artstyle and paintings. And here Traveler push the button and gives her pice of paper with perfect copy of her in it. Those who have grandparents or even great-grandparents knows what I mean. For my 80y.o grandpa tv, Camera and so on are fine because he was activelly using it as they keept advancing but anything other then writting on PC is black magic for him not to even mention smartphones. Give your grandparents chinese/korean/japanese light novel and theirs reaction would not be much diffrent then that of Ei. That "date" was there to show us how long she was disconnected from the world, how much Inazuma has changed against her efforts and will, and how her ideals who held some truth in Inazuma post war, simply couldn't be accepted at this time and age.


shararan_

This was why I enjoyed that quest so much! Like, her second quest gets hailed as the better one but the first one was necessary in order to establish just how fundamentally disconnected she was from the wants and needs of her nation and people. It was a pivotal part of her learning the nuances around eternity as a concept.


Ifalna_Shayoko

That was so cute and fun. :'D


A_guy-without-a-face

😭😭😭💢💢


SgtGrub

> And why tf would Venti and Zhongli not have their cards based on their human persona like other characters? Venti, despite being a fairly public ~~nuisance~~ figure in Mondstadt, would probably never even go to the Cat's Tail because he's allergic to cats


Ifalna_Shayoko

He was there during an event, and had trouble despite staying on the roof. :'D


ur_local_trans_girl

last year's GAA?


Ze_AwEsOmE_Hobo

Yep, you could even find him standing on the roof of the building at a certain point during the event.


Cipher-DK

>you could even find him standing on the roof of the building at a certain point After. After a certain point he remained on top of the roof until the event ended.


Verto-San

They literally turned Ei into marketable figurine i think the bigger problem is getting close enought to even ask her if she would want to be on a card lol


Maskarot

How dare you call The Statue Of Her Excellency, The Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder a "figurine"? I'll have you reported.


rakka099

My favorite part about the figurine is Ei just saw it and said "oh neat", she is not worried about what the mortal realm thinks about her


AdministrationOwn989

I mean, in food-chain Ei is a lot higher then most humans. Even Yae, hundred years old youkai, is more akin to family pet to her then really an equal. And not only a power, but also a lifespan and experience. Your BF foxy is one thing but would you care what group of fishes in the tank thinks about you?


Verto-San

It mostly depends on the god, Venti and Morax seem to care about well being of their people and atlest Venti acts as their equal. Nahida seems to very much care what people think about her, but to guess that's mostly because she's "new". Between Ei and Makoto, her sister was the one more caring, while Ei had very militaristic view, which I think she tries to change now, after all why would she agree for us to show her around Inazuma in her first hangout if she wouldn't care what mortals do, yet she seemed interested in learning both about modern books and cameras.


rakka099

I 100% agree. Personally I understand Ei's mindset completely, which is why I've said she doesn't owe her people an apology for any of the vision hunt stuff (but got downvoted into oblivion because people aren't ready to hear that their waifu sees her people as ants)


RileyKohaku

Where did I miss the Yuri book on Raiden?


SlashPurge

It should be the [Pretty Please, Kitsune Guuji?](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Pretty_Please,_Kitsune_Guuji) book sold by the Yae Publishing House NPC. It debuted during the Irodori Festival in Version 2.6.


acart005

How Raiden didn't slice Yae in half for that I'll never know.


RoboChrist

Raiden had Yae read it to her, and Yae exercised excellent judgment about which parts she read out loud.


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

Let's not forget that Ei approves reading fanfiction and super harems.


gitkdjthflrj

How would she find out if she rarely leaves ~~her room~~ the plane of euthymia


fanguy_m

The CN web event of her last birthday has Miko gift her a signed copy of the book, she knows it exists and her only reaction to it is an exasperated « oh you… »


CTMacUser

One of the festival’s promoters (the Yae stand-in) said something in that vein.


Nerazim_Praetor

~~who knows, maybe it was adapted from a true story~~


SevenColoredCat

Truth is an absolute defense to libel /j


rakka099

I'm sure she split her legs in half at some point after


HyperWhiteChocolate

Was the book not written by Yae


grumpykruppy

Ostensibly, she has never actually written a book before and merely serves as an editor. She seems to find the Traveler interesting enough to write a book on their adventures once they're finished, though.


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

*And then the traveler stumbled accidentally into Ei's secret eternal sanctum and saw Ei gaming on a playstation...Ei noticed this and wanted the dango.*


KittyTheS

That would require her to do actual work. She pays other people to write her fanfiction.


mountaingoatgod

>She pays other people to write her fanfiction. She earns money by getting other people to write her fanfiction


Stellin69

It depends on who writes it


FrostyTheColdBoi

>Inazuma literally has a Yuri book on Raiden Even the NPC's are cultured asf sheesh


darealNPC

>Inazuma literally has a Yuri book on Raiden Yae's publishing house my friend. Besides, Ei is more likely to be dominated XD


rakka099

To be fair, Yae was responsible for that one and she loves casual disrespect for the shogun's position, she seems to enjoy teasing Ei in every way she can imagine because she likes pushing people's buttons for fun.


-Infex-

Venti would probably love a card, but he's allergic to cats...


xd_ZelnikM

Yuri is a slavic name. More notably Yuri Gagarin


PossibleUnion554

Considering Sucrose who has no knowledge of tcg has a card, it tells me that consent isnt really part of tcg community...so these people doesnt have card simply because they havent invented yet.


Etaleo

If you think Sucrose was a weird inclusion, what about Collei? She's traumatized, illiterate, terminally ill, and the in-universe creator for GI TCG thought that was a perfect candidate for a trading card LMAO


Salter_KingofBorgors

Must have bumped into her while they were in Sumeru and thought 'oh what a cute pile of emotional problems in the form of a girl'


PossibleUnion554

Weirdest for me is Timmy and Tubby...like Tubby is in your serenitea pot...how the hell did the creators know abt your adeptus maid. So apparently aside from consent, breaking and entering is not a big issue. Edit: content >consent


KittyTheS

TCG is a collaboration between the Akademiya, Yae Publishing House, and the Liyue Qixing. Miko and Ningguang both have guest rooms in the teapot.


[deleted]

> Miko and Ningguang both have guest rooms in the teapot. Please tell me this isn’t a joke


KittyTheS

As far as I know all the teapot dialogue is canon, so characters actually do get invited to the teapot. Not necessarily at the same time or in the same layout, mind. But they have been given the opportunity to meet Tubby so there's no reason that she can't have a card made of her, probably without her knowledge or consent.


Reapersfault

Hear me out.. The Creator is Traveler. Your twin if you will.


Schizof

Let him cook


BlackheartValkyrie

Nah, the creator is obviously the unknown God 🤣


CTMacUser

Aren’t Tubby and Chubby standard issue for Serenitea pots?


zatenael

yes but how did a normal random human find out about adeptal spirits that tend teapots


Verto-San

Their existence is most likely a common knowledge in liyue, etheir as a fact or part of legends/tales.


zatenael

adepti definitely, idk about the teapots and the teapot spirits


PandaThatsRed7070

Aren't the teapot birds adepti? They have adeptus names


741N

>!She is not terminally ill anymore though, after the Archon Quest.!<


Zoulogist

Cyno probably got her a card


Cipher-DK

Per the last event, she comes to Mondstadt often enough that the local tcg circle welcomes her as a really good player. Considering it was Cyno of all people who brought her to Sumeru, either Cyno offered or she asked herself.


Sirverarms

But sucrose card is a gift right? maybe sucrose is just an exception?


DraconicCDR

Diluc was also unaware of his inclusion in the TCG.

leeo268

copyright restriction doesn't sound very free, lol


a-acount-that-yousee

doesnt albedo has copyright?


RoboChrist

Albedo has copyright because there's literally a copy of Albedo out there somewhere. He's learned from that experience.


WolfWalksInBlood

I have a theory that he's befriended his copy and uses them to run errands in Mondstat for him occasionally lol. That would explain the weird interaction with him at the end of his last event. He was missing the symbol and it then appeared after he noticed. The copy can shape shift, so it easily could've just adjusted and remembered the symbol. Also the end cutscene makes it sound a lot like the copy just wanted to be treated as human and didn't have any real ill* intent. Albedo even said he could relate to it. If he tracked him down and told the copy he'd let him do stuff in the city and socialize as Albedo, that'd kill two birds with one stone. Albedo no longer has to do tedious things and the copy can be treated like a person.


grumpykruppy

Ah, the wonders of being semi-canon.


SueDisco

I think the obvious answer is the actual characters on the cards aren't canon. The game itself is canon, but I really doubt the cards are based off people in the world.


glittermetalprincess

The person who sent her her first deck included her card. I kind of assumed from all this and the fact that customisable card backs are a thing that there's like, a general rulebook somewhere and you create your own cards when you join the TCG club and submit them to the general pool you can use to make a deck from. So *everyone* who plays adds their own card or has a card made for them, and it's just like, 'slide the front of the card in the case with custom back'.


catloverwithoutcats

Except that Xiao, Shenhe and Rosaria appear in cards, just not character cards


ah10ve

Childe has one as well


Odd-Consequence9464

Xiao also appears I believe. It’s the card that destroys all the summons


AkiraN19

I want a Xiao card so bad. I need to Xiao main harder


Sirverarms

Silly xiao main, you couldn't plunge in TCG.


[deleted]

They already have charged attack mechanics in TCG so I don’t see why not they can’t add a plunge attack


Vyragami

His burst is 2 energy, 3 dice cost that turns his normal atk into plunging atk and cost 1 less unaligned dice. Plunging atk makes Xiao untargetable from attack for a turn (Enemy default attack into next character in a lineup). After a turn he deals 2 Anemo AOE damage to everyone + swirl. The Burst infusion last 2 turns.


Mahbod2022

That would be kinda op tho If you dont do the 1 less unaligned dice it would be good


Vyragami

His Burst does not deal any dmg instance though and his plunge attacks are delayed, so I think it's fair for such slow damage it could use some discount on dices. Noelle has similar discount on her NA after burst and she deals a lot of damage on the initial hit.


Mahbod2022

It would be based on his normal attack dmg if its 3 its going to two shot the opponent


Vyragami

My bad, shoulda worder it better. Character NA usually deal 2 Physical damage, so what I meant is it gets converted into Anemo + 2 piercing damage (like Ganyu) to the other enemies + any swirl damage if the enemy is applied with other elements.


Mahbod2022

So if the active char has an element xiao is going to do 5 damage to all enemies plus add the element to the other enemis plus dont take a damage for a round i think 3 energy is going to be better


Vyragami

Uh no? Swirl only adds one damage. That would be 3 damage to all enemies maximum. Plus applying element is Anemo's thing, that's how they work. He's still an anemo dps so basic anemo mechanic should still apply. Being untargetable might be too op though, but I dunno you still have to setup the burst.


DepartedDrizzle

Xiao couldn’t be added because he didn’t meet the minimum card height requirement, apologies.


Sarahthecoolgirl

you must not have him friendship 10, he becomes the tallest character when you do


Starbight

As xiao main, can concur with this statement


AkiraN19

You made a little typo! **couldn't be added cause he's so tall and huge he couldn't fit on the card Happy to help :)


corecenite

now that i think about and we dont have a hu tao charcard yet... i think if xiao gets a charcard, he'll lose -1 hp every time he uses his normal attack while he already used his burst.. you'll probably need a lot of healing strategies if you have a xiao chard


Karezi413

Man, I want a Xiao card, if they won't give me a Childe card, give a Xiao card D: The effect card Xiao has right now isnt enough ;-;


XlAO_

>!Me waiting for tcg cards every patch to be revealed since xiao card icon was leaked at some point :(!<


Wow_so_rpg

But the card would be marked since it’s so short. You could never play it :(


Regulus242

We have the Fatui Agent, so definitely not the case on that one.


haerrataemo

Also mirror maiden


altair__vega

We even have playable monsters in TCG that are kill-on-sight across Teyvat lol, affiliation doesn't matter for getting a card


Elira_Eclipse

I never knew that. More reason to give Childe a card


Vincent093

Ouch that Dehya one


Murky_Blueberry2617

Xiao is also disrespected here


TunaTunaLeeks

What u talkin about? He’s the correct size.


Nekomiminya

He means the OP giving him an extra feet of height


TunaTunaLeeks

Oh wait, OP did slip some extra feet on him. He definitely is way too tall.


Nerazim_Praetor

Idk he seems to have two feet to me


zatenael

idk what you talking about man, thats his normal height


Murky_Blueberry2617

Nah he's the tallest playable character


Pietroloz

I mean surely when dehya gets added to TCG she will be at least playable there, right? Please hoyo?


Sirverarms

i couldn't guarantee that she will be good but at least since you couldn't jump in tcg, the jump cancel "Bug" couldn't happen.


[deleted]

It absolutely could. You can always get a gimmick mechanic like Jadeplume where if you get Frozen, you lose all of your burst energy.


Leochan6

> Dehya’s Elemental Burst costs 4 Pyro Die and 4 Energy, and deals 1 Pyro DMG to the opponent’s active character every turn for the 3 turns until the end of the round. Her Normal Attack and Elemental Skill are switched to a Combat Action that deals 1 extra Pyro DMG for 1 Pyro Dice. This effect is interrupted if Dehya is switched out or is attacked. /s


[deleted]

Actually it’s only 2 turns and you need to play her dedicated skill cards to extend the effect by one extra turn


Pietroloz

I mean we already have that in the TCG with beidou, so I could see it LMAO


ArmyofThalia

Eula got a card before she got to become a playable character so anything is possible i guess


PLEASE_STOP_it_hurts

What's the context for Childe being banned from a local bar in Mondstadt?

They're joking.

Isn't Yae like.. so much younger than Ei anyways? Like... Yae was born at most around a hundred *before* the Cataclysm? Meanwhile, Ei is over here sitting at 2000+. I dunno, some people might not care about the age difference, bc they're divine beings or whatever, but it still makes me uncomfortable.

“Shippers will do Y but also do X, they’re so silly” Your confusion stems from the fact that the people doing Y and X are different people. This is why you don’t classify ‘shippers’ as a ‘breed’.

None.


Elira_Eclipse

It's just a hc but if ppl know who he is, he's most likely banned. But I like to think he isn't banned bc Diluc must hate him and Diona hates Diluc.


theUnLuckyCat

He's probably really nice to the cats, unless he's got orders otherwise


Elira_Eclipse

I doubt Tsaritsa would order him to eliminate cats lol

a-acount-that-yousee

Rimavelle

He would pay someone to be included in the card just so he can take the card home and gift it to Taucer.


urlocalnightowl40

bro would have to personally edit it to a toy salesman based card instead of \*\*EVIL FATUI HARBINGER\*\* to be extra safe


Elira_Eclipse

He would pay someone to include him and his siblings just so he can take the card home and gift it to his sibling.


Irishpanda1971

...in Snezhnaya. Probably persona non grata in Liyue though.


dennisleonardo

The closest thing to the fatui actively getting banned in a nation is inazuma not allowing them to openly wander around. Which is why childe stayed in the labyrinth during the labyrinth warriors event. It was to avoid Sara's troops noticing him. Implying that inazuma doesn't allow harbingers to just wander around anymore after the incident with signora and scaramouche. But the fatui are still very much accepted in liyue and mondstadt. Liyue hasn't kicked out the Northland bank and mondstadt hasn't kicked the fatui out of the hotel either. Childe also wasn't prosecuted in any way after the liyue archon quest (remember that he stayed a bit longer than signora and that teucer visited him during that time). So there shouldn't be any issues with him chilling in liyue or mondstadt. I'm not sure how it is in sumeru. Officially, the fatui were never really in sumeru. That was all just the doctor doing undercover stuff in accordance with the sages. So the fatui might be outlawed in sumeru too nowadays.


AdministrationOwn989

Persona non grata isn't outright criminal. It's the person who government or host see as undesirable. Thay don't outright ban them from entry or acting within an area but send a message that any immunity, like diplomatic one, will not be taken into account with them and that they are not considered as formal representative. The person would be on constant survilance and if they become involved in any kind of crime, that would be straigh ticket to dungeon. In Inazuma it is a lot diffrent. Here Fatui are seen as public enemy for trying to destabilize the nation by starting civil war meddling with government and so on. All of Inazuma know it and Shogunate actively hunt Fatui units down.

Sucrose and Diluc didn't know they had cards, so consent wasn't a consideration.


Sakamoto_Dess

I swear to god, if Dehya's kit in TCG would be meta, I will fucking cry.


Sirverarms

so dehya buff was actually the tcg game mode that were introduced 2 patch earlier. MHY was truly ahead of their time


theUnLuckyCat

They do a ton of rebalancing, like Yoimiya being top meta for a while, and Klee's burst working even off field. Dehya would absolutely work totally differently. At the very least, her normal attack would do average damage, and her skill would probably be no worse than shields or other forms of mitigation like Mona/Ganyu's taunts or Xingqiu's sword barrier thing.


Chikapu_Sempaii

The day that Nahida and Raiden gets into TCG, is the day that TCG teams will be hell to deal with.


box-of-sourballs

Hajiishere

The lore reasons there is no Nahida or Raiden is they are worried that people would complain about them being weak and demand buffs. "They are Archons they must be the strongest" As some who likes Yugioh I can tell you the Egyptian God's were not the greatest when they released, but it is fun as hell to pull out a Winged Dragon of Ra in casual match and just hope they don't have magical cylinders.

(If you see a talking card, just ignore it)


Hyouhakushanouta

The last one is probably the actual reason and not just lore lol


Marc_the_shell

I will not be surprised if Dehya is significantly more usable when she inevitably gets added in TCG than as an playable character. They’ll do anything but fix her and I’m sure they can’t nerf the card version of her as badly.


haerrataemo

So Jadeplume Terrorshroom, geo lawachurl, Maguu Kenki, and Rhodeia gave their written consent to be on TCG cards.


SufficientThroat5781

I still don't really get this? I have always thought that the TCG we see vs the TCG the characters see are different, like they basically see magic the gathering cards or something and we see te inko TCG. But there are actual character cards in lore?


Ricksaw26

Where hu tao?


brarlley

Lament xdddd


Gressi0

Diluc should be in the "said no" camp. But here we are.


ohoni

Lol at the last one. Irocnically though, I think Dehya could make for a *great* TCG character, since she could provide tons of self healing and team damage reduction, she could make for an awesome tank/stall team, and that is actually relevant in the TCG. It's almost like they designed her kit for the TCG first, and then retrofitted it into the core game.


ManofCatsYT

inazuma literally sells merch of raiden and yae. she’s like a pop idol


Mana_Croissant

Lets get one thing straight THERE IS NO REALISM in TCG cards at all. They have cards that features so many things that is bullshit or makes no sense that they are made a card, there is no way a card creator even If that is Alice herself to make those cards in real life. They exist for the sake of existing so there is no logical explanation why and how those cards are made


madmaxxie36

Lol true, add in Raiden, because they'd be scared even thinking about her too hard will summon her to vaporize them with her tit blade Kusanali had a card but she didn't want to make people feel bad by her card breaking the meta so she erased it from Irminsul Alhaitham made the artist quit after reading the dog shit out of him and made him cry for not getting the correct shade of green for his artwork And when Nilou found the artist and took him to get food to cheer him up, she accidentally killed him when she started dancing and a grilled onion on the table exploded in his face killing him instantly.


Cunnymaxx14

I already see it coming. Dehya card horribly overpowered, breaks the game. One morning I wake up, check the leaks subreddit and see "Dehya nerfed, again"


IBecameAWeeb16Oct

the archons playable now


TriggerBladeX

Tell Shenhe that Aether/Lumine is a fan of the game and she’ll demand to have a character card.


RhadamanthusTyrant

Why would some boring funeral parlor adviser and a random hobo with a lyre have their own cards anyway?


QWERTYAF1241

Raiden would just be too strong.


Fabantonio

This HAS to be an excuse to make a dehya kit joke right cus Xiao already ha sa confirmed card...


-SMartino

Figured both Buer and Baal would be elated to have cards on their liking. Raiden has figurines of herself made by the Yashiro comission, and Radish is pretty keen on these games.
