Hello everybody! Just trying to catch up a bit here. Hopefully I'll only be a day or two behind after this, if at all. So really, not much has happened since yesterdery... but there I'll some things I forgot to mention. Yesterday I traded quite a bit of my actual cards for money and other cards I thought would be nice. I got a "Fusion Devourer" and a "Sage of Silence." The cards themselves are pretty much useless and worthless, but I really like the art on them.I traded some cards I didn't really use or care about so it was about worth it. I also got 20$ for selling my "Diagusto Emeral," a card that is realllllllly pretty and somewhat useful, but my friend just kept begging me to sell it to him, and I kind of felt bad for saying no for so long, so I sold him it^_^.
I'm still on the fence of what second deck I want to make, it could be either Battlin' Boxers, Heiratics, or Bujins. All 3 decks are good in their in retrospect, the best one probably being Bujins (but also the most expensive). Battlin' Boxers would probably be the cheapest and easiest deck to play/build, but likely also the weakest and relies too heavily on protecting one monster. Heiratics would be somewhere in between these two, but it's much more inconsistent than the other two decks put together. You essentially have one play, and if you exhaust all your resources making that play, you're almost guaranteed to lose. If I had to chose, I would play none of these decks. If Ghostricks were good, I'd definitely be playing those, or if I had the money to afford one of my good decks on DN, I would build one of those instead. But remember, one always has to weary of the ban list, and all the major changes it might bring to the Meta. Oh, and I don't know if I've mentioned this, but I collect banned cards. No real reason, except its' just cool, and some cards rocket up in price when they get unbanned, or even when they are rumored to be going to be unbanned... Lol.
Still a crap load of bad players playing Dragon Rulers on DN, but I've gotten used to it. Noble Knight cards in Shadow Specters is a crap ton of money, as expected. And all the decks that actually need support, like Toons, Ojamas, and Spirits, have no new support, as usual. If you play Yu-Gi-Oh, you learn to expect a lot of things from Konami, primarily to never expect much of them. They don't go by what people ask for, only what will line their pockets with the prettiest wall paper. I really hate it when they reprint cards that did NOT need a reprint, like "Gagaga Cowboy", and BLS. There were tons of other cards that were more in demand, and harder to get, with too many of them to name. If they really want to make money, and keep their consumers happy, they should listen with what we have to say, or at least what I say:
1. Better ban lists, by unbanning more cards that will do nothing if they come back, and by banning more cards that NEED to be banned IMMEDIATELY.
2. Give archetypes that actually NEED support... support! Like Toons, Spirits, Ojamas, and Bujins! Don't just give them random shitty cards either. They've done that before, and only angered everyone.
3. FIX first turn advantage. It really sucks that going first almost guarantees you a win. It would STRONGLY help if they made 1st turn player skip their Draw Phase and Battle Phase turn 1, or prevent them from activating any card effects or Special Summoning any monsters that turn. This is my #1 pet peeve about Yu-Gi-Oh!
4. When there is STRONG demand for it, reprint a card that people are actually asking for. Don't just reprint random shitty cards or cards that have been expensive forever and are un-usable this format. That just hurts long-time players, and gives them second thoughts about purchasing card packs.
5. As much as I like exclusive cards for the TCG, I still think OCG gets far better treatment from Konami, and it should be nearly equal. It's not fair that almost every card there is low-rarity, and all the good cards are bumped up in rarity here in the TCG. Everything gets released WAY earlier in the OCG as well. And they get AMAZING bundles over there that never, ever make it overseas. Even their ban list is better than ours, and they've literally been the same until September 1st arrived. . . And that's your Konami lesson for today.
