new blue eyes support lets you make it way easier, but still costs 650 bucks 💀💀💀

Instead of releasing QCR exclusives that inevitably lead to unaffordable cards, they should have all players spin a wheel and open 15 packs of a secret pack in the hopes of pulling one.

You know what'd be nice? All cards coming in all rarities so those who can't afford it can still have a really solid chance of pulling good cards and collectors can get their foils.

I feel like every other day I hear about Konami making YGO unplayable because either because they print all the playable cards in too high of a rarity or they refuse to ban problematic cards in topping decks. It's wild how people still play this game sometimes.

TCG Konami is the definition of corporate America, especially when compared to its OCG counterpart.

This company literally never learns anything. This is the same conversation we were all having 6 months ago

It bugged the crap out of me 10+years ago that Solemn Warning went from a common to an Ultra rare when coming to the tcg, along with Pot of Duality going from Super to Secret rare, Rescue Rabbit going from Rare/Super rare to Secret rare, etc, simply because it made relatively easy cards to obtain into ones that would costs hundreds to obtain. Even though I don't play much anymore it saddens me to see that there's a similar trend going on to this day.

The short answer: Komoney

The most frustrating part of all of this is that it tells us Konami TCG is not listening to our pleas to stop rarity gouging and print rarities like the OCG.

The best part is this card was already leaked (with an animation) on MD and is going to be releasing this month at some point. August at the latest.

Now with the new blue eyes support... We kinda need it. WELL PLAYED KOMONEY (man they only piss me off these days)

It's actually a lot easier to summon with the new blue-eyes support from the upcoming structure deck. Check out the lithium video to see some gameplay.

TCG is insane man Sometimes i feel bit lucky living on OCG format

Well, if you think that in the Anime there are only 3 blue eyes in the whole world, it's clear that they have it much rougher than us.

Konami tried to do the "lord of the ring -the one ring" gimmick where there is only one version but instead they twisted our arms and said...one "rarites" with no lesser rarity for other printings...

I am happy to see your channel share some criticism to konami TCG. I feel like it's important for influencers like you to voice how to the community feels about certain aspects of the game.

i think its cool they print exclusive cards like this, HOWEVER they shouldnt do it to something thats even slightly playable. (10K dragon is a good example, no one will ever use that card realistically). Blue eyes is getting a lot of strong support in a structure deck soon, but most people wont be able to play one of their strongest monsters now

I think alt art versions are enough for these qcr cards. No need to lock people out of playing the card.

I wish this kind of clear evil would be regulated, it's so frustrating. They should never short print important competitive cards, the RARITY of said cards being short printed itself is fine.

I love how he posted this after the reveal of the new blue-eyes cards, automatically dating this video.

Shit, had to come back to show support. Love your stuff, man! 🔥

Deja vu

This should only ever be linked exclusively to unplayable/bad cards and not something that helps playable decks. Like if it was a BAD blue-eyes card you didn't want to play, no one would care.

watch this go card go higher when Blue eyes structure deck comes out and there's no reprint for this card

haha imagine if new cards that make summoning this much easier in a dedicated archetypal deck were to be revealed as this video was being made haha

I'm properly disappointed that it's QCR cause it's freaking too expensive. I genuinely wanted to play it because it's such a cool monster.

$500 vs $5000? That’s honestly such a steal.

Now IMAGINE they reprint it in the upcoming structure deck…not gonna happen but would be hilarious loll

It's very funny that we got the structure deck announced today and you can probably make a meta strategy with 2-3 copies and some staples and MAYBE Twin Head, but the "best" version of that deck won't be meta because of *this* Edit: imagine if we got the Branded Structure announced and then we learned about the Byatials 2 weeks later and Sanctifice Dragon was unconditionally good and $500

I had a Ten Thousand Dragon… and then someone stole it. Pulled it out of just one box too..

Meanwhile, OCG players can pick up a copy of this card for as little as $2. Konami of TCG with their scummy rarity gouging practices once again.

Whole answer in the thumbnail. No need to get at h further

If you ask me, I think this is a good thing for the game. Making the good cards hard to obtain in the real world and in master duel should be the norm, no matter the rarity. This will be a great way to eventually get rid of meta builds and not discourage new, returning, and current players to have an individual and uniqueness to their decks. Also I could be biased because I always wish it was like the anime where only a small number of people had the good cards making the experience when one upping someone when you bought a pack with a decent card or two more surreal. This whole robotic hivemind mentally where everyone has the same deck is soul sucking.

6:23 So basically Seto Kaiba

During my stay in Japan, I went to some card shops in Akihabara on a manhunt for this card because apparently it was sold out in most stores over there too. I ended up finding a copy for like 10,800 yen which is roughly close to 70 bucks and.... I'M GOING TO SUMMON THIS THING IN JAPANESE IDC how anyone feels about it. Is it an authentic card? Yes. it been legally released? Yes. so I don't care if it doesn't speak English, I'm not paying rent money for it to do so lmao. Y'all going to see this OCG card on my end board and like it lol.

For $600 I can almost get the display for the Kaiba collection. I'm sorry as a Blue-Eyes fan, and player, who owns a playset of the Secret rares from the briefcase and opened them to play with them I find itg a bad investment to go for this card that doesn't have the same collectable value as the briefcase.

The artwork is sick

I bought the Japanese version for 50 cents. No one has a problem with you playing the foreign cards. I'll buy a reprint in a few years. I was so excited for that card too because everyone was always saying blue eyes sucks and you cant play them so I thought we he a nice cheap card coming

I hope this rarity ends and doesnt get replaced with another one, cards were decent enough to pull as secret rares

Still pissed that Japanese Ultimate Fusion wording prevents summoning magia with 3 Blue-eyes and a chaos ritual.

Omg ten thousand dragon was my first royal UR in master duel. I took a break for 15 years and had no clue 😅

Ocg: have fun playing the game ( except maxx c) Tcg: MONEY NOW

OCG they make profit and player's happy, TCG, WE WILL MAKE PROFIT dont give dame about you THINK of US

I feel like this card really embodies the essence of Seto Kaiba.

As a blue-eyes player myself, I’m both insulted and disappointed by this offensive prices…

Ughhhh... I had no idea Magia was limited to THAT rarity! I just assumed it would be a ultra rare, and already had gotten some packs hoping to get it, which I didn't obviously. Now I find out it will be basically impossible! Thanks for nothing TCG Konami scum.

Super funny if they continued the theme to be something like a release in master duel as a royal only and you need 300 UR dust to craft it as the only way to get it 🤣

I’m just going to print mine out at home, tape it over some random card, and sleeve it. If anyone’s got a problem with it, I’ll give them a copy.

These are the type of cards that I won't knock on for having negates and protect effect. The only thing I don't like about it is that it can float in to other powerful boss monsters cards which also have more protection and negation effects.

@dzeeff thank you for adding the combo break down. i only play the video game sometimes. so im not super up to date on the cards. but i would love to try this card in a video game

knowing red eyes dragoon exsist and blue eyes gets this makes me super sad, this card could have made blue eyes playable again almost if it had better protection and easier summoning conditions

This is the one time that I wouldn’t complain about a card being short printed as long as it was still possible for pulling it in one case not 9

This is how HERO player feel about Air Neos 😅😂

My least favorite part of Yu-Gi-Oh! is the greedy fucks that own it.

what obfuscates the rarity further is finding trustworthy sellers who arent weighing card packs pulling them for resale, and then giving you only duds.

Ahh, gotta love Konami. I dont know why people don't expect this sort of behavior from them and expect it to change. This was the company that got into pachinko in 2015, a year AFTER Japan started heavily regulating the game which was when a lot of companies like SNK started pulling out and back into games. Not Konami though, they did that instead of making new games in beloved franchises, and made money milkers like Duel Links, then investing tons of money into a failed project like Cross Duel. It's readily apparent that Konami is extremely anti-consumer, especially in the west, and decisions like this will continue to be made until players have been burned too many times and we hit a point of no return.

Fusion armament to bring out ultimate dragon, and fusion with a ritual in your hand Or fusion substitute the blue eyes ultimate dragon, and fusion with ritual in hand

Why are we still getting shit printings? This aint the year 2000, they could 100% match the ocg printing for the tcg

It should matter if the card is "viable" or not. Casual players should have access to the cards they need for their decks too.

Everyone: I can't play this card! Me(Nexus dueler) : what's wrong?

konami: "u want new support for your deck, no we give u what u want and we dient give u what u want"

I can already seeing it in the next couple of sets they will release a less rare version once they get the sales from this set.

I have loved playing blue eyes for over 15 years and im going to get the new support in the structure deck, but i am so pissed off that i cannot justify spending so much money on a single card even if it is the best boss printed for the archetype.

i mean it was a massive mistake to print it as only this rarity, i could see an argument being made in official tournaments that if they arent going to offer a reward thatd pay back the deck, then they should allow proxies.

After Seeing The Title Every Blue Eyes White Dragon Duelist Just Said Challenge Accepted You Know How I Know One Of My Best Friends Is A Blue Eyes Duelist And They Way He Plays Blue Eyes Is Like If You Could Summon Seto Kaiba To Do A Zexal Link On Anime Power Steroids

"Why is this for profit business making it so you have to spend piles of money to get a card?!" Hmmm... what a difficult question to answer...

Well then I was extremely lucky because I pulled two quarter century rares out of a total of 10 packs individuals that I bought from stores equaling $300 of profit that I immediately sold

Just wait about 10 years, when Konami releases a structure deck that includes a common version of this card.

watch Magia be QCR only in this year's tin for no reason what so ever

i think some cards should be more rare or limited than some others. And this is just right now at the top of the list.

I bought 3 packs at a candy store and pulled Magia LOL I was hoping to get Kurikara but I got a jumpscare

Chef kiss to that title

0:00 WAIT... DON'T TELL ME! LET ME GUESS! Despite no longer needing a 3-material fusion monster, and an un-playable Ritual monster anymore, it's material needs are STILL to costly for players to want to invest in. On top of this, Despite it's effect being WAY more buffed compared to it's predecessor, Dragon Master Knight, it's effect is STILL not meta viable! You know, just like EVERY OTHER Why Nobody Plays video. Am I right? Did I predict it correctly?

As long they not make it as immposoble to earn, when it drop at MD tho 👀👀

They could just released an unlimited version later and make it not QCR exclusive.

This is why sets in Yugioh need varying rarities in the same set. At least give the chase cards varying rarities.

What is there even to think about this? There's nothing positive or constructive to take out, it entirely blows and shows once again that Konami of America is a PoS that mistreats the players while ocg respects their customers.

im so happy im slowly transitioning to mtg commander now. this could be cool with the new blue eyes stuff coming out but they gave the fans a giant middle finger(again).

dragon of pride and soul. seems to be qcr for the ocg... i wonder what product we will be getting in 4 months that's all qcr cards.. and will be obviously short printed to oblivion.

This changes everything

Theyve printed a set every month sometimes 2 per month ever since 25th anniversiary was announced. Theyre doing this to make some money back

I don’t know people are mad about this when you know Konami will reprint it a million times afterwards.

Cards that have no common rarity available should be exempt from the proxy rules. I know proxy is not allowed in official tournaments because obviously Konami wants to make sales, but when a card is not equally available to every player it does not only affect profits but also badly leads to a pay to win scheme in official games.

ETSY HAS IT AND IM USING IT AT MY LOCALS AND MY JUDGES SAID THEY CANT TELL THE DIFFERENCE. I ALSO PULLED THE OG AND HAD TWO JUDGES THAT WERE AT THE 2023 NATIONALS AND THEIR WORDS WERE," THERE'S NO VISIBLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS CARD AND THE ORIGINAL EVEN WHEN YOU HOLD THE CARD YOU CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE. IT WOULD ABSOLUTELY PASS FOR AN ORIGINAL. WHOMEVER YOU GOT THIS FROM I WOULD SAY 1 DONT BUY MORE CARDS FROM THEM. AND 2 KUDDOS TO YOU CAUSE THIS WOULD FOOL THE BEST JUDGES IN THE GAME. I HAVE 3 COPIES I PLAY IN MY ED BECAUSE I HAVE FOUND A COMBO WHERE I CAN MAKE 2 GOING FIRST AND END ON THOSE PLUS CRIMSON DRAGON TO CALAMITY LOCK YOU SO REGARDLESS WHAT YOU DO YOU CANT PLAY YU-GI-OH. GG NO RE. HAVE FUN.

Shoot, you wanna play with Kaiba’s cards, you need to flex Kaiba’s bank card 😂

I just ordered the Japanese secret rare :)

It’s so frustrating because the set already has 2 very acceptable QCR only printings in the two alt arts, the community would have been fine if those were the only chase cards because they have regular printings, but are still crazy to pull out of this set for any collector or sky striker fan. Making a useable cover boss monster for the two fan favourite casual archetypes QCR only is functionally evil in its intent. There’s no other way to say it.

I main blue-eyes and Konami really pissed me off with this stunt magia should have atleast had one other rarity making it easier to obtain. Hopefully they fix this with the new structure deck coming out for blue-eyes

I'm pretty annoyed about it, Blue-Eyes is my favorite archetype

Good video, but you could have stood to explain how many packs are in a box that's in a case because the actual numbers on how much product this involves getting as well is hard to grasp

Think there's a chance of it being reprinted in Structure Deck: Advent of the Eyes of Blue (probably this December)?

It's in master duel now, but the other blue eyes support isn't yet, sad

The answer is much simpler than that. Scalpers. They know everyone was in high anticipation of this card so they buy them all to make hundreds per copy. If the demand is high enough, scalpers will be there.

I thought I didn't care about it, but then I came to the conclusion that it's yet another opportunity to spit on Konami's bad business practices with the TCG. Screw those guys.

This has absolutely gotten out of hand

This is one reason I quit competitive yugioh and play pokemon instead. Pokemon tcg takes the high road, and secret rares nowadays are almost always just cooler art versions of less rare cards. No card ever climbs to over $50 anymore, nevermind $500 - geez.

INB4 the next tournament pack has QCR rarity cards which have this same bullshit, but now even harder to get ahold of since tournament packs

Just when I was getting excited to maybe come back to modern they gotta do something like this.

I have a question? Can I special summon Dragon Master Magia with 3 Blue Eyes monsters and the Blue Eyes Chaos-Max Dragon? Because in MD, it doesn't worked.

Can't wait for it to reach MD lol.
