These days? News flash, that’s how it always was.
And if I want a return on investment, I’m sure as hell not going to put money into a card game for that.
How many sets has it been since we got a Normal (Non-Pendulum) Monster as a Secret. If nothing else, your Instant Fusions are safe people.
Bullhorn (sorry, Broadbull) is Rare, you can tell by the lettering, compare it to the above monster.
i really do hope your right, bullhorn is the only xyz i will want a playset of. the others i only want 1 ofs. that would just leave figuring out how to get a playset of triangle lol.
magic is about the closest you can come on making back decent money on your investment. thanks to them supporting multiple formats, alot of cards remain relevant even after set rotation of standard format.
sorry had to double post, is that motherucker really a tuner?!?!?!? HOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT!!! they werent playing when they said the most broken card of the year was a vanilla monster.
I know I’m right. The only rarities you can’t tell apart are Common and Super for obvious reasons. But it’s pretty easy to tell Rare and Secret due to how they format the lettering online now.
As for MtG, even it has its issues. Unless a card has good value in said other formats it will drop, and usually that doesn’t happen outside of Commander. Not that it’s always the case (see Eldrazi Winter) but you only really keep investment if you invest in the higher end formats like Legacy, Vintage and Modern in the first place. Standard is really no different than any other TCG in that respect. Hell it’s gotten even more fluid due to WotC’s new aggressive ban campaign on Standard. 3 cards banned in Standard (which is a lot for them, and one didn’t even last an entire set) and I don’t think any of them are seeing any actual play in other formats, outside of Commander where basically anything can see play if you truly desire it to (or Frontier, which hasn’t caught on yet).
Card Games are not something you invest in if you actually want a good financial return. They just aren’t. You basically have to be extremely lucky, or as said otherwise, extremely good. It’s not worth considering, unless you’re running a Card Shop and in that case, godspeed.
Otherwise you treat Card Games like you would any other game. You put the money in based on how much enjoyment you feel said cards will give you and nothing more.
of course you wont get a good return on card games, i was just saying magic returns are better than yugioh. when i quit magic i made quite a bit of money, planeswalkers, elemental swords(like fire and ice etc) and titans somewhat hold their value, atleast back when i got out, dont know how well titans hold up today price wise.
MtG does return better than Yugioh, but then again, so does everything else.
I’m legit happy that Molmorat is common/super. I was fearing that it was gonna be the $60+ secret of the set. Apparently triangle is secret.
Oh and the rumored rule change is hilarious. 12,000 life points and player going first cant pendulum. And other stuff that is 99% fake.
Everything about it is fake until proven otherwise. Don’t be like the other idiots trying to buy out Ancient Leaf.
wtf…i was wanting to make this irl and not just play it on devpro…why konami? why we do this?

I think a LP increase would be a welcome change at this point. I don’t think it’ll happen but it would give more opportunity for back and forth play without some weird as shit actual rule change. Especially since Konami has just stop trying with balanced card design and is going full throttle with broken cards.
It really doesn’t. It doesn’t solve a single issue, other than accidently snapping Ancient Leaf.
Turn One stupid unbreakable boards will still be that. Having extra LP doesn’t solve that issue.
This rule assumes that OTKs rule the land and this would curb them. The Number 1 deck in the game in the OCG right now is Zoodiacs and they can’t OTK to save their lives. The LP increase doesn’t make them any less stupid, nor any of the other top decks.
You’d have to make this LP change AND immensely curb the power of a bunch of trap like effects. Alone the rule does nothing. If anything, it actually makes current decks even worse to deal with. You know why? Because now the Solemn Brigade becomes even MORE stupid. Cards like A Hero Lives become even dumber. LP getting increased wouldn’t slow down the game, it’d actually speed it up.
I found a 2 card otk with Zoodiacs… lol
Yeah I actually only saw the OTK after I posted my post. At the very least the main one used requires an unsearchable card in your opening hand.
Drancia (Drident) is Secret.
Rat may have avoided the Secret curse, but every other important card in the deck didn’t.
And Foolish Burial of Belongings is Secret…sigh…
EDIT:
welp, looks like you were wrong on broadbull, he is a secret.
i fucking hate konami man, why the fuck did they have to make the new foolish and the new virus secret rares, dammit man.
Yeah for whatever reason they didn’t use the Two Toned Color they had been using for Secrets on him for some reason.
Foolish burial of belongings is a game changer… That is why it is secret. that card is gonna be the new pot of desires… $60-80 per card
I really want whatever drugs you’re on.
Not only is it not a game changer except for a bare minimum of decks, it’s nowhere NEAR Pot of Desires and even joking about it is asinine.
The amount of spell/trap cards that have some kind of grave effect is ever growing.
Foolish Burial of Belongings is gonna open up a whole new type of counter play and shenanigans in yugioh I guarantee it.
Why do you think they made that new ghost ashe and beautiful spring card to help counter it later down the road…
