Yugioh Discussion Thread

[MC74]

Decided to make this one too in case anyone wants to discuss the game. Picked it back up recently after taking a little break due to being able to play Magic Arena again. I've been able to craft a new deck while I was at it. It's a Yubel build supplemented by the Fiendsmith engine, and the deck is ridiculous with the amount of disruptions it can set up, in addition to it being able to play through hand traps.

I'm still useless at new age Yu-Gi-Oh, I can't get into the combos and how to not use spells and traps and whatnot...it's all effects and so on. I miss the old Yu-Gi-Oh, lol. But I'm learning, and I have when we play

Grinded out enough gems for 10 packs. Only managed to pull 1 UR.

Sounds like real life pull rates to me!

I remember the days where boxes you purchased has guaranteed pull rates. Like at least one secret rare per box.

What they've done nowadays is criminally abhorrent. Asking people to drop hundreds on cardboard (or digital cardboard) but never have a guaranteed rare card is terrible. I've been heavy into Lorcana more than even MTG recently. I've spent a lot more than I'll admit on Lorcana... and I've pulled 1 enchanted card. Pull rates are abysmal.

MTG... Wizards is pushing me far away. I was SO looking forward to the Final Fantasy set. But they've inflated the prices so dramatically and I don't think I can justify spending that much on it... Every commander deck over $100... Collector booster boxes over $500! The problem are the whales that buy it. These inflated prices are awful.

At least with physical cards, they can't one day choose to take them away from me...

Much agreed, as long as there are people willingly dropping money on it and very little pushback against the insane prices, it'll only continue to get worse.

Specifically referencing Wizards here, because YGO, Lorcana and One Piece don't need to worry about this, but I understand you're trying to expand the game after almost 30 years by using Universes Beyond. Unlike most, I think they are cute additions to MTG. But not if you're going to raise prices through the roof to make up for the licensing fees. People can't afford this unbelievable number.

And with the tariffs now?! Ugh!

Been playing around with a Gimmick Puppet deck that can do a FTK on the very first turn. It's a lot of fun to play. Saved some replays on my Master Duel profile in case anyone wants to check them out. ^^
