Rarity collection 2 , Dragon Master Magia, the infamous "ask your friend," incident, and now a new overpriced must play engine for the fifth time over $300 really shows how much Konami hates us. Especially us old players who use the game as an escape to better times, now a lot of us have bills to pay, mouths to feed, not to mention a game that doesn't even provide proper prizing( doesn't have to be money,but quality prize support you see in Locorna is a prime example.)Either they need to get in touch with their player base or find new management that cares about the player base, rather than scalping us for our nostalgia
Word to the wise, you miss getting around with the homies and playing cards on the table. There are better games for that. Swap over, even try a good board game like Dominion, youll have a great time.
All the executives from japan have to come to the states and let go of half the tcg team
@@HotRed00 hate to say it, but they look at the tcg for what it provides them. They see the money it brings in. Until that money goes down, nothing will change. We've complained so much these past sets, and they still released important cards as secret rares. I wouldn't doubt if they looked at the sales of the set Tempai came in and deduced that releasing meta cards at super rare wasnt worth doing. They're in it to make money. We as players need to either stop buying cases after cases, or start being proxy friendly.
@@lit_wickThe playerbase also needs to grow a spine regarding the market’s pricing of cards. Tenpai and Bustial super rares breached $25 a pop and there were no shortages of people willing to pay.
The game is its cheapest it’s ever been lmao
Yugioh will die with age, there’s basically 0 new players under 18 currently entering the space. I haven’t seen a child come into my locals in at least 5 years.
Eh they're playing master duel
Because the price of a deck is insane. What kid would want a 1000 dollar deck that Noone cares about when they could have a 60 dollar pokemon deck that could win worlds
that's a load of shit there are still many kids playing, though most were introduced to it through duel links/master duel instead of the anime. are all of these people gonna start playing the tcg, i don't know probably not but this is the main reason i think md is the future of the game.
Julius schwarzkopf is under 18
Less than 10% of players are under 18, virtually 0% are under 13. This is not speculation.
I don’t know if it’s “dying” but it’s definitely on oxygen in the TCG.
TCG refused to give us the tactical try decks even when they know that game is in a rough spot and instead we get the worst products in the history of the game like the 2 player set
Not dead but its 100% the playerbase and the yugitubers keeping this game alive. Konami isnt trying AT ALL. Between the awful packs stores are foced to buy stock of no one wants, the banlist ether not doing enough or giving of touch outdated hits, and of couse the worst prize support of any game ive ever seen. Bruh come on the side events have better prizes theres no incentive to play in real events 😭. Also the power creep since pote has been so huge.
Totally agree. I've actually been looking to get back into the game for like 2 years and what made me keep up more with the game again are MBT, Joshua Schmidt as well as Cimo's and TheLawYGO's History series. But what the game offered just wasn't attractive enough to be bothered, so I turned to older formats. Sadly I'm a pretty all or nothing kinda guy when it comes to card games so I would want to actually play one of if not the best deck. But why would I spend out so much money for Tear let alone SnakeEye, which is not only way more expensive but also way less fun and intricate, if I don't even know how long my commitment would last? Also Master Duel, which I had high hopes for, is just ruined for me by Maxx C and only Bo1.
Honestly, if I look at how poorly designed SnakeEye and now Fiendsmith are, I don't think the newer formats will be worth it for me any time soon. I might have pretty high standards for the quality of TCG formats at this point, but if the current TCG is a hard sell for people who actually want to play and already jumped most of the hurdle of just learning the rules of such a complex game, I can't image many new players to get into it.
Yugioh is a game where you just have to have the mindset of it is what it is. That's not a good thing, but im willing to put up with it to play the game i love.
Yea that's the issue
The people who are playing are the hyper online crowd who would be fine with anything komani does
Average dudes just dont have a place
Per video reminder that if your card game isn't attracting children, then it's dying. Yugioh is presently crapping itself in the old folks home.
Having 17 to 18 year olds with actual money to buy rather then beg your parents is the old person home what are you 5
It's not fun for a average joe
Mostly fun for just ycs/meta players, That's it
The 20 summons or more in a turn thing aint attractive to a new player.
3:46 Funny story because in 2018 Yugioh event attendance was breaking records across the board despite all the FTKs floating around. Might have to do with the only expensive deck during that year was sky striker and anything you decided to rarity bump.
Life support. Not dead
For me Yu-Gi-Oh "died" 3 times, first was when links were released, that made most of my close friends stop playing and made it hard to enjoy it in a social way. Second, was when covid happened, there were no more locals, regionals etc, so it made it hard to play competitive ( I did not wish to play remote duels) and lastly, tearlaments format killed it for me, I did not want to be part of Yu-Gi-Oh if It meant dealing with all that nonsense. I have tried out master duel( although dealing with Maxx c has made it tough to enjoy as well) and I do continue to watch yugitubers a lot . Maybe I'll return one day soon.
They need to add alternate formats or alternate banlists because good lord.
there's no way pepe was expensive, i played it and i was in school and worked part time at a frozen yogurt shop
Pepe was cheap people are delusional
no game balance only new cards always meta
Funny, looking back on it now, early links were like the game was trying to follow suit with the manna play style that Pokémon and Magic had. I guess they didn’t like it too much, and/or the player base didn’t either
I feel like the tweet about MD is massively underplaying the issues master duel has/had and I don't think any of them have been meaningfully addresses. We had people like Ludwig streaming the game on release and still failed to convert almost anyone to paper play.
Didn't Ludwig lose his mind over a monster being activated in hand? Dont think thats particularly an MD issue tbh.
@@sammydray5919 What I'm saying is that a huge streamer like him showing off the game should translate at least somewhat to event numbers/, but it didn't. Almost no one who starts playing MD goes into paper play.
There is a huge player conversion issue and that IS (at least partially) a Master Duel issue.
@@DamnZodiak Again not really. There are certain advantages to MD that don't translate to paper game. The biggest thing is accessibility. You can play MD whenever you want and however you want be it on PC or mobile and you can play whatever you want. Paper play doesn't offer that kind of flexibility since it requires not only owning the actual cards but to also physically going to the store/event to play. Travel time and costs on top of the real prices and availability of the cards and other accessories you might need.
And thats assuming there is a locals scene near where you live. If not then good luck trying to play the paper game lol. Remote duel? Yeah no. If someone is gonna play online anyway they might as well play MD from home without having to shell out money for real cards unless you just like collecting them in that case do whatever you want king.
Also as much as I like this game, Yugioh has reached a level where its very hard for new players to get into the game period. As popular MD was on release, the massive drop off and failure to convert is mostly a flaw with the game itself than specifically MD's fault. Granted MD's poor tutorial didn't help but that doesn't change the fact that actual Yugioh itself isn't very welcoming to new players or even returning players.
Most of it all Yugioh issue and not just MD issue.
@@DamnZodiak A bigger issue than player conversion is that MD failed to retain a lot of returning players in general. Ranked was the only game mode(practically still is), and you had players in rookie getting stomped by sweaty meta decks. Konami's vision for MD was an "official simulator", but since it isn't up-to-date anyway, they should have started it with an older card pool, the same way Duel Links did, and they probably would have kept a lot of the casuals looking to get back into the game, while getting millions of them up-to-speed with modern mechanics.
Also konami getting rid of tickets for nats and ycs will kill the more casual players that go to make money. Konami big L
Yes it's jover time to pack it up boys.
Meanwhile Topolgic Gumblar Dragon aint ever coming off of the banlist or getting errata'd
Bruh what if we add a turn counter to the game? Turn 1 u can only activate/set 1 spell trap, activate/summon 1 monster, attack/deal damage 1 time
Watching cimo history of the ocg idk how yugioh even got to the west let alone survived the early ocg years is beyond awful
I feel like yugioh only survived Goat and GX due to the anime. The first enjoyable deck was Gladiator beast. Anything before then is worse magic the gathering.
There are people still obsessed with the OG anime. It must have kept people afloat long enough for the game to become playable.
I miss hat format
2018 is the Gasleak year of Yugioh
And when we finally get cheap reprints ( rarity collection 1) baroone and savage get banned, the player base celebrates it, further discouraging newer people who patiently waited for reprints
I been playing for 20+ and I'm getting sick of ygo.
It's so toxic and many other reasons. 😂
Sure Inzektor and Wind-Up were new but you coould have prevented a lot of pain if you banned Hunter and Limited Dragonfly (only a rare so Konami aint missing out too hard) going into this format
The current tcg format is definitely going to die soon if a good banlist doesn't happen
Modern YGO will never be the same.
Edison is peak yugioh tcg format is cooked
I think hat can be too and the period just before duea as there's alot of silly stuff you can make work
@@GG_NowaJust gentleman out Vanity’s and you right
It certainly feels dead in my area; the only store locally that sells it has not become an OTS despite trying for years, has had no announcements for their Yugioh free play dates or tournaments in months, hasn't had anyone come in to play for weeks (one time we went in to do so, we were told they were closing the store early because of lack of customers and players coming in), and the last set - Terminal Revenge - they didn't even have in stock after it was released, when we went there, with no real indication that they actually got any in. Even Walmart doesn't have that set in stock, at all, and their Yugioh section is so pitiful, having taken over by Lorcana. Really makes me consider just packing up and selling my decks and cards, and calling it done and dusted.
After all that and you still trying to play are you waiting on your wives boyfriend to give you permission too?
@@masterflamewing234 One, that's kinda rude to say. Two, no, I'm single, and so is my roommate. Three, even then, would it even matter if there's no way to get a local game going in my area? Might as well just quit the game entirely, at this point.
@@masterflamewing234 go get a life and do what hes doing : following what he enjoys doing
Well, this pretty much is the death knell for Yugioh, in my area (an email from my locals about the state of the game, for them):
I don't think its a stretch to say that Yugioh is dying everywhere including in Warsaw. And it is true that we don't have any of the latest set available. From a store standpoint the Yugioh market is terrible. For what they charge US for the boxes we don't make any money selling the boxes/packs since the market price for the boxes ALWAYS drops below MSRP. If we have a set like Rarity Collection 2 that has a higher cost/price attached the customers complain about the price and won't buy any even though we are only trying to sell them at MSRP.
With this last set we only ordered 3 boxes because one customer wanted them. All of the other sets we've ordered we would order a case, MAYBE go through 2-3 boxes worth of packs for customers and the rests sits and collects dust. Because of the lack of buying on our customers end we have heavily changed our Yugioh buying habits to buy much less of what we were buying before.
The Sunday crowd of players is dwindling, and Zach has mentioned stopping Yugioh and just doing Magic on Sunday since they can't seem to find enough players to really fill a Sunday. We tried to offer a booster box as a prize for the last tournament we ran, but the customers complained about the set we were offering so we stopped that as well. Zach runs the tournaments and he was pissed when people complained about the prizes so he hasn't ran any since.
Honestly Yugioh as a whole is looking grim. If it werent for the few customers we have that actually buy stuff we wouldn't carry it at all.
Nevers.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Bandai/Namco took over the game (wishful thinking I know) if Konami just went out of business /defunct or if the TCG died and the OCG just kept going.
For as lifeless as a game Pokémon TCG is, Nintendo of America and Japan puts hella effort into their events and more
Lmao duelyst had exactly this happen and died in a span of months, bandai/namco murdered them we dont actually want this
Bandai had yugioh they fucked it up and Konami saved it
It’s tcg that about to be dead not ocg or Md.
MD will follow.
It's economy is getting worse for the casual player with time needed to get resources to make new decks.
Banlists refuse to actually go for the throat on anything to try clean up shop and is basically just replicating old formats from both ocg and tcg
@@GG_Nowahow? You dont need to spent money to get decks in MD
The reason superheavy wasn’t okay while snake eyes is, is because it was cheap.
Bonfire was a crime against humanity man.
Classism at its finest. It's only ok if it costs a million dollars?
Same with Naturia and Unchained. How dare these common cards be playable.
@@Ragnarok540 good news they’re not.
And its okay because its from the anime unlike snake eyes.
People claiming the game was dying during Windup/Dino/Zektor/ChaosDragon is revisionist history. The game was doing just fine and people were no where NEAR as upset with the format as people try to claim now-a-days.
Only cash prizes can save Yu-Gi-Oh now (sarcasm)
@@Billy-ot8mk no it wouldn’t , ocg and Md on the other hand is doing pretty good. Tcg has the worst format out of the 3 , their banlists sucks , the format is full of snake eye decks and the game doesn’t care , the prices are insane to the point that every deck is 1k$ + now , lots of cheating and dumb rulings where judges do nothing about it.
@@Od9189 It was sarcasm.
Doesn't have to be cash prizes but real prizes would be nice. Side events have better prizing than actual ycs's. I gotta drop a band to win a $40 mat or a match winner card that cant be used in a duel? aintnoway 💀
At this point, its time for people to make the switch to another game. Might I suggest Elestrals?
You're better off moving to Pokémon.
It's shown it's strong. Cheap and readily playable atleast local level and isn't subject to the possibility it's dropped
@@GG_Nowa I actually do invest into the game of pokemon but more so because I just enjoy collecting the cards. The game is plenty simple so I agree with you though.
Answer no a lesser card game hold no interest
@@logandelaharpe6362 That's harsh.
I LOVED Superheavy Sam. When they hit it. I quit
Paper yugioh is dying, and the TCG community are not making things any better. Duel Links is fine and on the rise and MD is fine and also on the rise. There's a trend of playing digital yugioh now because no one wants to buy the cards, and card shops are not selling yugioh because konami wants to do their nonsense, so no one is happy. Its not the current decks that is killing Yugioh but you have to admit the average player and people outside the community did NOT like Tear or Kash, those decks were the most unyugioh deck from an outsider perspective and even game development perspective. The players and those who pilot the deck saw nothing wrong with what they were doing, but it's because they're already in the scene.
There are people that are coming in to play yugioh and that anime announcement did help out, multi media is the way to go like it was before. Make new animes, new games, new manga, they could have an entire yugioh division to make yugioh themed stuff far greater than ever before with 25 years of material from the manga and even the archtypes themselves! That's what people want with yugioh, and that's why its dying because there isn't enough yugioh to enjoy! Yes theres the card game and the games and what not, but is there a Six Samurai video game? A Evil Twin visual novel? A Dark Magician RPG? No, that's what people want. Dawg a Diabellestar game in the same vein as bayonetta would go so hard. People are gonna miss Yugi and they do, but they miss seeing their favorite monsters more. Hell, an anime with the Elemental Heroes set like Justice League Unlimited? That's the key for Yugioh's growth and why people love Yugioh so fondly over other card games.
Game is dying. Sell your cards and play a better ran card game, or quit tcg's altogether and pick up a different hobby. Konami is in full on power creep the game to death mode. Seen it happen too many times in card games. I feel like theyre killing the physical game to focus on master duel.
Don't tell me what to do
You do you chief.
I'm gonna just look at my cool decks I enjoy even if the game dies because most cards aren't worth selling
Games not dying people are being drama queens like usual
It's dead in my area and the only people who play it refuse to play it for anything other then money.
Casual yugioh is completely dead
If yugioh were dead, top meta cards would be dirt cheap.
All the top meta cards are slowly going down in price though. Wanted was a $100 secret rare now is $25
Uh oh he’s right
Maybe banlist fears and reprint coming in the tins
@HotRed00 prolly cause snake eyes is near the end of its life cycle as a tier 1 deck. We've already seen masterduel and the ocg crack down on snake eye. Better decks are coming soon and snake eyes won't stay tier 1 for long. Hell snake eyes was tier 0 for a bit. Prolly why wanted and bonfire were ridiculously priced.
Noone is opening the product which directly causes the top cards to be expensive.
That's another factor
Yes. Its dead. Yugioh is walking corpse. Please move on to other children's card games. Thanks! --Konami, Maybe (2024) #notreallybutamilying?
Dead with record breaking numbers at tournaments uh huh
………..
@@logandelaharpe6362 hey look at this guy. He Thinks tournament entries ACTUALLY matter.
Yu-Gi-Oh is actually popping right now are you kidding me lol
