At the rate it's going, it's going to massively upset those who distribute and sell pearls.

I think the worst part of MTG 30 is that if they made it a normal booster box, kept the cards as proxy and drop the price down to 500 it would actually sell

@@graztriton8431 no. the fact they made proxies of cards they promised to never sell again was bad enough. then they had the audacity to charge more than what a regular pack, or even what a collector pack costs. for this garbage. it's be like if LoB cards were never allowed to be printed after MRD came out, then konami decided to reprint LoB as a set but randomise the packs and charge 1k per. that's what happened. nobody would buy LoB proxy packs for 500. they wouldn't do it in mtg either

@@jakebennett9130 maybe 8 dollars per pack. But i just think nobody really care even then.

@@UMAtronic I’d honestly say $4-5 would work. For a pack of non-tournament legal cards, or a booster box for draft, I’d want it to just be normal draft box pricing, maybe even cheaper

Idk, around the Abyss Rising era Gungnir was briefly a chase card and I remember successfully opening and flipping a dozen or so advent calendars that year.

Eh, those weren't for the cards themselves, but the novelty. I can give it a pass.

I mean advent calendar usually has like 24 slots so if like all of them are filled 1 dollar worth of packs each you'll get 24 dollar worth of packs for 20 dollar.

@@yuuya3639 bruh they didnt have 24 packs, they had 24 cards lmao

Ahahaha Santa Claws is $12 now ahahaha the future rules

Fun thing is you had to pay to also play the A I.

to be fair, by 2007, they changed it so you didn't pay per duel, Also it was like 2005 and Komoney was trying to figure out how to monetize a simulator.

And it was fun. It used the real life card packs. You got cards from winning, and money. You could trade too. You know, all the basics of a tcg. Paying per duel when you get a prize at the end (lose or win) isn't that weird.. unless you've never set foot at a local. The only thing missing was a casual duel that didnt cost nothing but won you nothing, yes. Also they indeed did change it with 5D. And guess what? That made the game 10 time worse and more P2W than ever before.

The old days of the internet my dude and yeah, the way that game worked was atrocious. One of the reasons I never got to play it back in the day because you had to pay to duel and since I was a teenager, it was impossible for me.

The funniest thing is how true that last part is. There are proxy MTG card websites that sell INCREDIBLY convincing proxies (like as in I literally held one of my proxies up to the real deal and COULD NOT FIND ONE SINGULAR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM) for the LOW LOW. Like getting 60 dollar cards for 50 cents to a dollar plus shipping.

Honestly the video games were the best way to play yugioh for a bit. You didn't have to ask your parents for 50 bucks for a piece of cardboard to help build a deck, you had a time capsule of what the game was at this point of time, later you could play against other players deck online. Really the cardboard was the bonus.

At least some of the games are actually pretty fun. The Tag Force games are enjoyable as ways to play against A.I. back when the game DIDN'T feel like solitaire where you can't do anything after because the opponent has an utterly unbreakable board with all of their counters

Poor kid :( That was just a bad decision on Konami’s part. The point of packs is to get people to buy a bunch of them in the hopes that they get rare powerful cards, it was a stupid business decision for them to have the same cards in each.

@@knockout8157 - 100% agreed. It was so misleading to customers who weren't actively buying products. While I get the "idea" for recruiting newer fans - every pack has ALL the rare cards, so no need to hunt - it doesn't give the actual idea of what YuGiOh is like.

the local card shop should have really informed her of that.

@@polocatfan - Absolutely, and several of the regular players felt that way. I think I'm gonna bring this up to him this week and see what he remembers. 😄

Konami sucks

Was it the zexal 3rd game?

YGO Players to Wizards: Please, PLEASE stop giving Konami ideas!

It was suspended because of the users using it as a fraud, not because it was a fraud.

Multiple Yugioh games are banned in Belgium, so it's super funny whenever Konami gets a Belgian guy to promote them.

No way the average YGO player even knows what deodorant is, based on how my last YCS event smelled. And no, Axe body spray is not a substitute for bathing.

they should just bring back the Dirt Dueler kit and give them away to everyone who shows up

I always wear deodorant and shower everyday, and I am the dumbass who plays Bystial/Branded Dragonmaids

I work construction so having a shower every day is my normal

I'm pretty sure I saw a Yu-Gi-Oh Millenium Puzzle bath salt released by Konami in 2020, so there's that.

Me as a kid: "This toy sucks. I don't want it." Me as an adult: "This toy sucks. I want it so bad." As they say, with age comes wisdom.

Yeah, the way Magic did their 30th packs would be if like Konami had done that Platinum Blue-Eyes and charged like $100,000 for a chance to get it or one of the other main character/antagonist cards. $1,000 for the one card is still kinda ridiculous but at least there was a reason for it to be so expensive, wasn't treated as the player facing anniversary celebration, and wasn't random. If Wizards had just made these boxes either $100 or guaranteed you the entire set for $250 in a DUDE-like manner I would bet they would have never seen these complaints. It's still frankly ridiculous for fake cards with nothing special about them like being made of an expensive metal but that would be far more within most people's price range for what it is. Of course the right thing to do really would have been to just reprint those cards normally and stop pandering to the scalper market which people who just want to play the game don't care about, but we're talking about a company who thought that was a good idea to ever do to begin with. Common sense has clearly not ever been a thing they have or desired to have (if they did it certainly wouldn't have taken 30 years to obtain it).

Yeah I don’t get it it’s not supposed to be a constantly updated simulator. It’s supposed to cover every single anime duel. What more does a person want from a game where the entirety of the single player content is anime duels with anime decks (though you can use your own deck if you want)?

The baffling thing for me was despite the big single player pulling cards for a deck could be a NIGHTMARE. i remember grinding points for so long just for a chance to maybe pull a set of like 3 cards of a pack to complete a deck

He didn't spend millions, he spent tens of billions of dollars.

With the way Elon seems to destroy almost everything he touches, I'm afraid that him trying to make such a duel disk would instead be a thinly-veiled attempt to kill ygo as he makes his own tcg where internet notoriety is the resource and one deck gains such by requiring the player to call their opponent a slur

lol Musk's new staff moves to finally ban child p--n from Twitter and of course ygo players are shitting themselves

killing? lmao, sure

Where's our cardgames on motorcycles, Elon?!

Funnily enough, Fiend Kraken is still not in the TCG, but it's retrain is.

At least we still got Killer Needle. How else do I out Statue of Stormwinds with my Beetrooper deck?

@@colossaldonut5190 somehow it's usable now in beetrooper

I remember when the Wii game Duel Transer was advertised with a cool adaptor that lets you scan your own cards into the game to unlock them. When that got canceled, Duel Transer became boring.

They tried

most of the people just told him "hey dude. this is actually a scam" ofc there were haters and drama chasers. but it was nice a lot of people actually helped ruxin

@@jakebennett9130 that's good. it's just such a classic ruxin move i love it

It's mekknight invoked halq pile and it's a beautiful mess that works cause it's weird banlist. Same with infinitracks can make a board of savage, arc light and dawn dragster. Cyber dragons where also a deck to beat because it's so easy to build and only required like 1 pack 10/10 best format

At least Master Duel doesn't do something like Alchemy and includes as many cards as possible.

@@kennydarmawan13 You mean the 'formats' yes plural, that exist solely to, a, prevent people from suing over product they paid for being deleted after x number of years, and b, sell overpriced as hell digital cards that warp the entire said formats around them that didn't even exist in the formats they were attempting to keep alive?

@@fanusobscurus4309 you roasted WotC there. I mean, Yu-Gi-Oh!'s cards aren't designed around being functional on its own as much as Magic: the Gathering, so making formats for that needs more practice and idea, and even that's uncertain.

'yugioh cards depicting real kidnapped children' sounds like the start of a godawful creepypasta

.....i know someone who collects those.

...What???

Are you making this up? This can't be real

What . . . Wha . . . WHAT THE FUCK!?

Mentioned in a previous Twitter Thread video incidentally.

And also no online battle mode. What the hell?

And in that game in the west they somehow gave you all the cards in that game from the start. No need to unlock anything.

@@BananenBread Yes, the banlist can be turned off and one of the opponents plays full powered dragon rulers. There is no pot of greed though

@@BananenBread Read previous comment

The hell you mean the Japanese release was a 2/10? It has like 40 playable story modes. That alone bumps the rating up a huge amount. The English release got 12 story modes, and they “compensated” us by adding art sleeves and game mats, as if that makes it okay. Game is awesome btw. I still play it because I can make a full alien deck on it without having to unlock any cards. It’s rad. And you know you can edit the anime story decks, right? Each character has a trunk of cards each with their own unique card pool. Did you just not bother making the decks better?

Same deal with gftp2 and the updated Agents structure, which had Nibiru in it...

I guess it's bad in a sense that packs and boxes are a waste of money to buy, but yes, making a bunch of archetype cores basically free is awesome.

Literally the best ursarctic does is summon shenshen on the opponent's turn and even that requires a specific hand.

Imo konami probably tried to half-assedly downplay the game's complexity with that set and war rock and those didn't work, so we get the tier 0 atm. Either that or there was a period after mr4 revision when konami pandered to casual players for some reason

I wish Ursarctic had any gameplan at all against monsters *with a level* lmao. Like, Serpentrion is a decent boss monster, but it just does literally nothing to any monster that isn't an xyz or a link...

​@@skeletonwar4445 Well now they do - the deck is Skill Drain Turbo now

Seeing your avatar activated a part of my brain that has been starved and I just want to say I appreciate that spore dinosaur

Plat. BEWD is clearly labeled "These cards are not for everyone", is obviously a collector item, limited to one person per product, and they have intrinsic value. Plat. BEWD sold out in the matter of hours while Magic 30th being mocked by everyone.

Because that was a banger product??? Noble Knights may be utter dogshit, but Platinum Rarity is the best looking rarity in the entire game to this day. (The supporting packs that you got 3 of in the box also included actually good cards, like a Platinum Rare Veiler/Torrential/Solemn)

RIGHT !? My gf got me one for 2 years running and I loved them. They were fun and I still consider them to be max rarity for a lot of the cards contained.

absolutely same. was devastated we didnt get them in 2019
