Digimon isn’t always cheap though. There’s definitely been meta cards that were 50ish a piece.

My Pokemon playing ass is laughing seeing the cost of Yugioh staples while I look at my mostly finished Gardevoir ex deck that ran me less than 50 USD.

@@SDREHXCstill way cheaper than most cars gsmes

And now you have Hunters which can easily be built for like $50

​@@TheForeverRangerLaugh in 50$ Tapu Lele GX back in the day

Fundies are nutso

Understandable reaction to toon cards tbh

Should've told him they were made by Japan and send him an invoice for the cards he trashed. Those were assets at the end of the day due to the "T" in TCG.

Depends on your definition of 'devil'

some people are just so irrational that it is shocking

Ha, gayyyyyyyyyyyy

@@caiovieira2168 yeah.

SAMEEEEE! I love mannadium so much it’s such a fun deck and I am in love with visas hair. It looks so pretty

"Pot of Greed is good" Adrian Gecko

I pulled a playset of the secret alubers when they came out, kept them when they were 90 euro a piece, because i loved the deck and i didnt want to part with them, even though i knew they would fall in price. Still have them.

I personally don't, but that's cool that you do

Why

Air what

​@@spicymemes7458hasn't been reprinted in close to 20 years. Why not?

Air Neos? Is that a new card that has definitely never been printed before?.

The forbidden card! HE’S TOO POWERFUL!

Thrust was up in the air on whether it was mandatory or not, its still kinda in that spot tbh. Where as SP is immediately every where.

I don't think it's so much about the fact that Thrust was expensive, or Lubellion. Heck, Regulus was $90 for like ever too. It's the fact that S:p little knight adds $100 to an already ridiculously priced list. When the top deck is a grand, that's when people start to focus on that stuff. Happened when BASED pile did the same thing a couple years ago

Despite TT being an incredibly stupid card, I feel like it didn't get as overhyped as SP got, so thst might be why

​@@shawnjavery Thrust a month ago(Septemeber 25) was sitting around the 65 dollar mark. I think going forward it's going to be format dependent more than anything. In formats where we have to answer a morbillion different decks it will be heavily used, but in formats with a more obvs bdifs it will fall in price.

Crush card virus ar $400 each after reprint.....🤣 And DAD almost $300 a pop. Back the only rich ppl can play YGO meta. Note thats like over 13 years ago where $300 had way more value than $300 now coz infaltion and such. Imagine if converted to modern pricing lol.

For how shitty it looks it should be free.

I would have pulled up to locals with a built Zeus and said it was my 15th extra deck card.

Congratulations you discovered scamming

@@spicymemes7458 in his defense, it was technically the most powerful card he had seen up to that point plus he had like 9 switches in his bag…I don’t think it counts much as a scam when they are clearly filthy rich

Please tell my it was at least shiny cardboard~

@@gamerwolffang2722 :) no

i mean, the prompt does say "single YGO card"

KZfaq with less reading comprehension than twitter this time.

It says single card. As in 1 card. Dpe and adventure where 5-6 cards needed and only 2 of them where super expensive

White Aura Whale absolutely slaps. I'd have paid 50 for one, Ghoti is fun as fuck.

@@THEGRUMPTRUCK I am really looking forward to the new support.

Ironic to say this during the WHALE THREAD.

raw unbridled autism same unfortunately

Same. Ngl, it's hard to take these seriously after playing modern and commander. Between fetches, mana rocks, planeswalkers, forces, evokmentals, and staples for various colour decks, mtg has cost me more than my entire time playing yugioh. At least YGO will reprint their best cards and not sell it to in 250 dollar lotto tickets. I haven't bought sealed product since that and the pinkerton fiasco(unless I'm immediately going to make a profit off it).

Well yea obviously alternate formats of MTG are more xpnsive, especially legacy with dual land cost $400 each or something

@@invertbrid Well, that is true, but that's legacy. People however, play commander and pioneer for their price flexibility however that's only casual play. The thing ygo players always miss when comparing the games price point is that competitive play always costs money and most locals don't bother playing standard. Ygo players always talking about being gatekept by decks that cost 500 dollars ignore that the most played competitive formats in magic cost 2-6 times that at minimum. People who make the comparison between these 2 franchises are usually never actually aware of the playerbase in these formats or arguing in good faith because they're just trying to say "grr, why good cards cost money?"

I mean your problem there is trying to play competitive commander. Find a group to play casual decks with and you won't need to break the bank

@@TheJamieellis The literal same thing could be said of yugioh, yet everytime that point is brought up, the response usually is: "It doesn't mean it should be expensive to compete." Even though that's kinda how anything competitive works, the issue this video is addressing is when the cards aren't seeing/will not see enough competitive representation to justify the price tag. S:p out of a series of 10 matches(as a very small sample size) will be less relevant than a card like Thrust, Fenrir, Accesscode, Baronne, and Prosperity yet it commands a price tag above the rest of them upon release date? The math just isn't mathing.

Man...Seeker of Sinful Spoils being rare...

@@thotslayer9914 How is Konami going to make boatloads of cash if they make every card easily accessible?

​@@sluggernottidk ask pokemon 😂

@@TainyaGaming It's not an equal comp, though. Pokemon is still marketable to new audiences and had unarguably way more popular and a more far-reaching impact than yugioh. Let's not kid ourselves, either. Pokemon cards are still insanely expensive on the secondary market and are also a higher MSRP per pack and product.

@@sluggernott It's usually only the "bling" rarities that go for stupid amounts in Pokemon. The only two times I can remember a card going to insane prices for meta reasons were both complete flukes. In one case, the souvenir card given out at the Pokemon finals in Hawaii (which normally have intentionally awful effects) accidentally had a HUGE meta-defining effect and turned into a Cyber-Stein situation. The other was when a Japanese set had a "ghost rare"-style reprint of a certain Rayquaza card from a past sub-set, but the English game didn't get the subset until AFTER the extremely rare reprint so it was the only version of that card to exist. And it happened to be an extremely good card in one of the big meta decks of the time, so it shot up to a couple hundred dollars. (then we got the subset a few months later and it dropped to like two bucks) Even the extreme tier zero meta cards usually don't break 50 in the lowest rarity, and those don't happen often.

@@sluggernott imagine how marketable yugioh would be to new players if it had the same barrier to entry cost as pokemon, sure pokemon has a whole line of video games to lean on, but konami has literal slot machines to lean on, they can ease up on the childrens card game a few notches in the TCG.

Generaider itself doesn't sap up too much time normally. What deck were you facing?

@@DG_Raizen rescue ace, I hand looped him for 3 through ash and impulse and I just needed to get to end phase but he wouldn't let me.

@@N3XTREVOLUTION Sounds like intentional stalling.

yeah it's like The boss monsters The combo enablers The staples Like what's left? How long will it be until we have whole decks over $100 per card?

Getting? You saw that $500 Crush Card Virus and $300 DAD right?

It's basically priced me out of physical entirely. Like, I know budget-friendly decks/options exist, but I'm so tired of having to settle for cards that are often _significantly_ worse; I'm already handicapped IRL-I don't wanna be handicapped in the game too. Thank fucking god that online sims are free; I'd literally have to stop playing entirely if they weren't.

@@jamesruth100 remember having to play evilswarm exciton knight over Zeus because Zeus was still way too expensive

pokemon does this sort of thing as well and it's really nice. i dont play pokemon anymore as yugioh has become my full focus card game but it was nice building a decent deck for 90 bucks

Unfortunately, shops don't like that. People have to buy more product if they NEED something that they're only gonna get one of, maybe not even one, if they buy the whole damn box. This cash cow is too big to pass up

Yea but let's be real it's the only thing with value from phhy now. Konami are gonna milk it hard

Yeah same, ish. I broke my rule for accesscode cus I just couldn't play mathmech without it. Paid £27 which was pretty good but nothing else over £17 for me (Zeus)

@@ziggylcd12 ACT is probbably gonna be the exception for me as well should I choose to commit. Until then I'm coping on rasterliger lol

I'm gonna guess Red whitebeard

@@starbound100 Yep, worth every shekel. Such a fun deck, gonna bring it to Pasadena and lose every game 😎😎😎

Konami wouldn't give a shit. They didn't care when people complained before they certainly won't care now if it means less gambling

Oh cool sounds like a net+ for me!
