What do you mean by best?

For the actual gameplay, MTG has long been the top dog there. It literally was the first one and is what all tcgs owe their existence to. Pokemon is much simpler by design.

In terms of sales, ive got to give it to Pokemon easily.

I was about to ask the same question - how you define ‘best’ can definitely change the answer.

BUT, since we didn’t define it…Pokemon is best, because I said so.

Also, I actually really liked Yugioh growing up (particularly the anime). I did grab a few cards here and there that I liked, but I never found myself interested in Magic.

MTG is the best playable TCG. Pokemon is the best collectible TCG. Yu-Gi-Oh is somewhere in between.

I haven’t thought of that. I think in terms of collectibles. Pokémon will never be able to catch up to mtg in terms of playability.

This is probably the best description

I thought this was going to be more about like “What are the top 3 most iconic cards in the main TCGs?”

In terms of being a collectible card game, Pokemon overtook Magic a while ago imo
