I feel like people have this mentality of “oh I’ve got to only play this game at a comp level”. I play Yugioh ALOT, and I mean that, yet I always take the time to try out other card games whether it be casually or competitively. If a game is starting to lose its whole feel to you, or the formats not the greatest, take a break and try smth else. There are a lot of really good card games out there
Magic Player here. (With YGO background.) I'm just going to pipe in and say that cost is way more format dependent than even you are suggesting. Those kinds of prices are only really present in highly competitive play. Unlike Yugioh, however, there is an enormous amount of infrastructure in Magic for playing against strangers in lower power levels. Draft is one *very* obvious example. But also, there are spaces to play Commander with just Precons. It's as though there were YGO locals were you could walk in and say, "Does anyone just want to play with structure decks, maybe with 2-3 cards swapped in?" And a few people will happily pull one out of their bag, and you can have some low-powered games without worrying about someone whipping out S:P Little Knight, Ty-Phon, Chaos Angel, etc. while you're stuck with the in Archetype cards that came with your deck. Overall, there is just a lot more baseline respect for there being multiple ways to enjoy the game. No one will bat an eye at you if you don't like Standard or Modern formats, but do like Pioneer or Pauper. Edit: Magic has 2 online simulators. The older is Magic Online. It's showing it's age aesthetically, but it has every card from the game, as well as a secondary market where you can sell all your digital cards if you decide to get out of the game, which does make it potentially lower investment. As for Arena, I would say the monetization model is worse than Master Duel and Hearthstone, but better than Duel Links. However, bear in mind that if you play draft formats a lot, you'll collect a lot of the cards you need for Standard, and unlike in Master Duel, you'll be paired against people of comparable power level when you are on that grind. It doesn't have every card though. Mainly it has the ones that have come out since the game released.
I'm just going to take a break until fuwalos gets reprinted but I'll be playing more retro formats and magic in the meantime those are my alternatives.
I never actually played Yu-Gi-Oh but it always struck me as a game made up by someone who's never played card games before. Then i found out it was first created as a sub plot in a manga LOL
As a magic player who participates in the Commander and Modern formats: $150 will get you into a tournament, but if you want to be placing anywhere in the top 20% of a larger tournament, you're going to be spending well over $500.
Skibidi dop dop yes yes!

phoenix is 300 if you play pioneer
@@performapalcowboy2556 bloody hell, I didn't know that.
the best alternative to yugioh is to simply pick up and anime fighting game with airdashing like guilty gear or a tag fighting game like mvc
Play One Piece, imo its one of the better designed Bandai TCGs, easy to learn but has a decent level of complexity at a high level
Try flesh and blood, it has that complexity and has a great back and forth
i prefer wixoss vanguard or shadowverse to yugioh
Fruit Monsters are a new TCG if you want to try.
Never heard of it, but sounds like a interesting name
@@tcgsam got some vids on my channel, simmilar to MTG
@@tcgsam The color types are based around the real world flavors of the fruits
I'll come back to paper tcg if fuwaloss gets banned
Do you recommend playing the Skibidi Toilet TCG?
check out the digimon card game
alternatives? sure....better? I don't think so
They are bruh
ew the elestrial cards look like a rip off of keyforge and that design looks like richard garfield had a stroke while drawing a childrens artbook.
Game is trash it's never going to get better play one piece fuck this trash lol
