Shadowverse 10th Anniversary Roundtable Gathers Four Community Figures

Denfaminicogamer published a roundtable interview with Kazuki Tomoda, Myako, Surre, and Apollo, four people who have been with Shadowverse since its 2016 launch. They discussed early meta memories, the Wonderland Dreams era, the rise of competitive play, and personal stories like the 4 million yen prize that parents thought was a scam. The interview was held at Cygames' office.

Denfaminicogamer hosted a 10th anniversary roundtable for Shadowverse at Cygames' office, bringing together four figures with different ties to the game: caster Kazuki Tomoda, cosplayer Myako, former pro Surre, and YouTuber Apollo. They recalled the early days after the 2016 launch, when players rerolled for Merlin or Skullfane and veterans from other card games jumped in with the goal of making a name for themselves. The Wonderland Dreams meta, once a vivid memory, is now laughed off as possibly beginner-friendly. Surre described winning RAGE as reaching one goal in the card game he staked his life on. Myako remembered firing Heroic Entry without knowing the effect, hearing the commentator scream it could not be played, and winning anyway. Apollo's King of the Skulls card was initially mocked as a 1000 ether exchange ticket but later became so strong its ability was adjusted. All four said the game changed their lives.
