What the C3 TCG Quiz Covers
The quiz is structured across eight games with questions at multiple difficulty levels. Whether you've been playing for a week or a decade, the quiz scales to find the gaps in your knowledge.
Magic: The Gathering Quiz
The MTG quiz covers the broadest range of topics because MTG has the deepest history of any TCG. Question categories:
Rules and mechanics: Layers, priority, the stack, triggered vs activated vs static abilities, how replacement effects interact. These are the questions that trip up casual players who have been playing for years but never read the complete rules.
Format knowledge: What is legal in Standard vs Pioneer vs Modern vs Legacy? Which cards are on the Commander ban list? What is the difference between Commander and cEDH?
Set history: Which set introduced the planeswalker card type? Which sets are on the Reserved List? What is a Timeshifted card?
Card identification: Name the card from the artwork or effect description. Recognise alternate art treatments and older card frames.
Pokemon TCG Quiz
The Pokemon quiz focuses on three areas that separate casual collectors from competitive players:
Rules and gameplay: How does the Prize card system work? What is the difference between a Supporter and an Item? When can you evolve a Pokemon you just played? What does the ACE SPEC mechanic do?
Set and era knowledge: Which set introduced Pokemon V? What is the difference between Scarlet and Violet era cards and Sword and Shield era cards? Which sets are Standard-legal right now?
Card values: What makes a Special Illustration Rare different from a regular Illustration Rare? Which sets are considered the highest-value pulls in the current format?
Disney Lorcana Quiz
Lorcana's quiz is particularly useful for players who joined recently and want to test whether their understanding of the rules is correct. Common misconceptions in Lorcana tend to involve:
Ink and Inkwell rules: What can go in the Inkwell? When can you add to your Inkwell? What happens if you have no Inkable cards in hand?
Challenge and Quest rules: Can a character Challenge on the turn it is played? Can a character Quest and then Challenge? What does Reckless mean for questing?
Set knowledge: Which Lorcana sets introduced which mechanics? What is an Epic rarity card and how does it differ from a Legendary?
One Piece TCG Quiz
The One Piece quiz tests both game mechanics and IP knowledge. One Piece TCG has some of the most unique mechanics of any major TCG:
Don!! and resource rules: How does the Don!! system work? What is the difference between attaching Don!! to a card versus using it as Energy? What happens to Don!! at the end of your turn?
Counter mechanics: When can you play a Counter card? Which cards can and cannot be used as Counters? What is the Counter value?
Characters and arcs: Which One Piece arc does each major Leader card come from? Which cards are Manga Rares and why are they valuable?
Yu-Gi-Oh Quiz
Yu-Gi-Oh's quiz is the most demanding in terms of rules complexity. The game has decades of errata, updated rulings, and mechanics built on top of mechanics:
Summoning rules: What is the difference between Normal, Special, and Tribute Summoning? How does Link Summoning work? What are Xyz materials and what happens to them?
The Extra Deck: What types of monsters go in the Extra Deck? What are Link Zones and which zones can Extra Deck monsters be summoned to?
Timing and the chain: What does SEGOC mean? How does damage step work? Which effects can be activated in the damage step?
Banlist knowledge: What does Forbidden mean versus Limited versus Semi-Limited? Which cards have been hit on recent banlists?
Riftbound Quiz
The Riftbound quiz tests knowledge of the newest major TCG on the site. Because Riftbound is young, the quiz focuses on mechanics and champion knowledge rather than long history:
Champion and XP rules: How does XP accumulation work? What is the difference between Rank 1, Rank 2, and Rank 3? Can Equipment be changed between games in a match?
Mechanics: What are the Unleashed mechanics (XP, Hunt, Ambush)? How does the Memory system work compared to Energy?
Champions and their play styles: What is LeBlanc's primary game plan? What makes Jinx different from Ahri as a Champion? Which Champions were introduced in Unleashed?
Dragon Ball Super Card Game Quiz
Leader card rules: How does a Leader Card Awaken? What is the difference between the starting side and the powered-up side? Can a Leader card be KO'd?
Energy and Combo rules: How does placing a card in the Energy Zone work? What is a Combo and when can you play one? What is a Counter card and how does it differ from a Combo card?
Extra Cards: How many Extra Cards can a deck include? When can Extra Cards be played?

Alternating activation: How does the turn structure work in Star Wars Unlimited? What is the Initiative token and why does it matter? When do resources exhaust and when do they ready?

How Scores Work
The quiz tracks your score across attempts within a session. Each question has a difficulty weighting: getting a rules-edge-case question right scores higher than a general knowledge question.
Your total score at the end of each quiz gives you a grade: Beginner, Developing, Proficient, or Expert. Most players who think they know their game well score Developing on the first attempt. The quiz is calibrated to find genuine gaps rather than confirm what you already know.
Why the Quiz Exists
The quiz was built because the gap between "I know how to play" and "I understand the rules correctly" is huge in every TCG. Players who have been playing casually for two years often carry rules misconceptions they've never had challenged. The quiz finds those gaps before an opponent or a judge does at a competitive event.
It also works as a study tool. If you are preparing for your first tournament, the quiz covers exactly the rules edge cases that come up most often in organised play.

The C3 Take
The decisions you make with your TCG collection matter more than most guides suggest. Whether you are buying, selling, or holding, the difference between a good outcome and a poor one almost always comes down to checking current AUD prices before you act. Use the live data at /cards/mtg to make price-informed decisions every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the C3 TCG Quiz free?
Yes. No account or login required. Go to /play and start.
How many questions are in the quiz?
Each game section has multiple questions covering rules, set history, format knowledge, and card identification. The total length varies by difficulty setting.
Can I retake the quiz?
Yes. Scores track within your session. Retaking after reviewing the rules you missed is how most players improve quickly.
Which TCG quiz is hardest?
Yu-Gi-Oh and MTG consistently produce the lowest first-attempt scores due to their rules complexity and long histories. Riftbound tends to produce the highest scores because the game is new and there is less accumulated edge-case knowledge required.
Does the quiz cover competitive meta?
Some questions reference current competitive context (which decks are strong, which cards are seeing play) but the focus is rules and game knowledge rather than metagame analysis.
