    I've been playing Blue eyes white dragon for 22 years and invasion of chaos came out and the deck top in Japan the cards became expensive in card shops and since then I need to be careful and pay attention to the ocg, I got my lordy loads at $10 a pop and got my dominus Purge at $28 by looking at ocg topping events and I kept seeing blue eyes so yeah , dude did tell us to stay ahead of the curve unfortunately some of you didn't listen 🤷

      TCG players not paying attention to what happens in the OCG warning signs and getting shocked after the smae happen in the TCG is the equivalent of a person not paying attention to traffic lights crossing the road and getting shocked when they got hit by a car. At those points, it's on you.

    This is getting ridiculous. Even if you spent all day and night observing the market and ocg trends and picked up the Primite stuff for cheap you would still be breaking the bank for the SUDA secret rare. Konami needs to come up with a better system to distribute cards as they come out instead of reprinting them months later and you have to spend a ton of money upfront just to play the card. People are getting priced out of the game. I strongly think they should go back to doing unlimited printings of core sets again and do a rarity system similar to Rarity Collection. That way instead of using rare cards to sell a reprint later down the line they can immediately cash in as the set comes out. This current system isn’t working

      If breaking the back is $50 for you,,, then you need to reevaluate your income and life. If you got them early, when everyone was chasing the Charmy, then you won. Not our fault you decided to sit on your butt and not get the cards cheap. If Konami did do OCG printing methods, the cards would SPIKE even harder, when the set is out of circulation.

      I mean yes to a certain extent because it’s making sales at this price and it’s not going anywhere. I do think that people also should’ve been paying more attention to cards or else they would miss the boat. Sure nobody can keep up with or know every card but if you were playing BEWD then you should’ve at least had it on your radar.
      I personally grabbed them at $3 each and I’m very happy about it but I do understand the frustration of them being bonkers expensive.

    • @MadaraUchiha-wf4iv
      @MadaraUchiha-wf4iv 17 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      It's a bit of both, need to buy when low and you need to read cards and think what it can do, if something you want to play and buy when low. But you are correct it would help if they printed, in multiple rarities.

    thats why you buy secret rares from sets as long as they are cheap. If a new set comes out, i buy shitloads of the cheap secret rares. With Lordly Lode i cant stop laughing. Bought 12 as it was 4 bucks. And now?

Lol a loan is crazy Magia should have been printed in lower rarity, likely maze since Ra04 should sell well without it.

    The community is just tired of expensive ass decks and nobody can blame them but the community is why they are priced that way at the same time. Can’t blame Konami on what people decide their cards are worth after they are bought at retail price. If there wasn’t a resale market they would complain even more cause it’s more expensive to build your decks from packs. There really is no winning.

    How do you keep posting youtube videos consistently while not getting much views? What motivates you?

      he posts like 3-4 vids a day, even with the lower view count it probably adds up still at the end of the month. also could just be a passion for the game, he's been going for over a decade.

    White Forest package is MUCH better for Blue Eyes. Adds more consistency, resilience, recursion, and power.
