I play an upgraded version of Floowandereeze with Thrust and some major board breakers + 2x Extrav.; 3x Duality and 1x Prosp. It’s amazing. I run 1x Zeus, 1x Ty-Phon and some other extra deck staple monsters.
I used to want to qualify for worlds for the free flight to Japan until I did the math and it was cheaper for me to take a 3 week vacation in Japan than to keep up with competitive yugioh for 1 year. Ygo players have stockholms.
Yu-Gi-Oh has always been expensive. Back in the day a mech chaser was a couple hundred bucks just because its attack was 1850 however thats not an excuse for cards to remain expensive. Konami does reprint cards faster but those rarity bumps still hurt.
@@mitikozuki5295 oh I know but what I'm saying is that Yu-Gi-Oh in the TCG has always been expensive. Like I said mechanical chaser was around 200 bucks when it first came out due to its attack so just imagine spending 600 for a playset of vanilla beaters not to mention later formats like teledad were much more expensive. I wanna say the deck was around 2000 dollars due to crush card virus being a prize card and the reprint was extremely short printed.
@kevinlee5753 for real old formats were even more expensive if you think about it. 2k now is nothing. 2k in 2008/2009 was alot. And that's how much those dad return decks and teledad decks costed. Most people didn't have all 3 dad's or two once it was limited it costed so much. Same with virus. Now you can get the best deck for cheap if you don't want max rarity. I got my whole tearlament deck for 500$ with everything and after they banned it all I quit again lol. The problem now is they cycle to fast. Those dad's got there money's worth within the old banlists, and the mali's, ddraws, solemns and allures did as well. They didn't just make it worthless over one list like they do now. I play edison and love that I got my deck and I will never have to spend more on it unlike modern.
Prices are lowkey holding if not cheaper today, decks 10+ years ago cost the same as today. The issue is spending 1k on a deck only for it to survive like 2 ban lists then get neutered and devalued
While this is nothing new, the expense of living as increased and Yugioh's tendency to be ridiculously expensive has not changed. It's one of the reasons why I quit.
Yugioh always been expensive. in fact, back then it more expensive than today. staples use to cost 100-200. u need 3 copies, today archetypes exist to remove most of staple card.
Yu-Gi-Oh cards being expensive is nothing new, if the concern is a $1000 deck that's rogue with a full side deck, the actual competitive decks are definitely running higher than that again or the staples are running you at around the same price, the main purchases that would run money is the staples than something like the fiend smith core, as it is so good that it has an expiration date due to stuff like the ban list, but id probably say since MR4 released people have been saying its going in a too expensive direction but its always been like that, not going to mention full power chaos format in 2003/4 full power DAD which was ridiculous, Minerva lightsworn in 2016 with a reliance on a prize card running you 1000 dollars+ just to play the deck and more recently to full power snake eye and now to most decks running a fiendsmith engine, but the actual price of these decks run a lot lower if people already have the staples, for any new player wanting a fully competitive deck it is ridiculous how much u might have to spend just to try and play but if the price you need to pay is just 1 singular S:P or a full fiendsmith engine your looking at 300-400 dollars instead to upgrade your already existing deck, if you price up the lightsworn cards it comes to under 100 but as soon as u factor in staples add about 600 and the fiendsmith stuff on top is another 300, so the actual archetype you are playing is cheaper than the generic cards that pair with it, nothing has changed for this as well if its raigeki from LOB or now with SP, Thrust and Perullia, which isnt going to go down as fwaross is around the corner in ROTA, so expect the prices to not go down anyway! :)
I built a Lugia deck in pokemon for like 35 dollars? You cannot make a competitive yu gi oh deck without first spending about 350-500 dollars unless you make compromises. And its only going to get worse once the new Mulcharmmys come out. What Konami is doing to customers outside of Japan should be illegal. Goverments need to step in and stop them because they are not going to stop themselves. And yea like you said unless you are someone who has a family that can afford boat vacations to cancun and flights all over the world to play in YCS events yu gi oh is pretty much unaffordable.
@swank8508 pokemon gains value all my 100$ yugioh cards are under 10$ now so glad I sold it all off before that it's all artificial they're coping. I'm up like $11k on my pokemon and get to play

Play Floo brother. Cost me 60-100 bucks and I consistently make these $1000 deck players scoop and rage. It's very satisfying.

Lol I remember perfomapals being a $1200 dollar deck key pieces got banned and I quit

Not good enough. Check card prices in the ocg vs the tcg and it's an eye opener

It’s hilarious to see this as a long time mtg player

I’ve spent 300 dollars in the last few years and I woop you all the time

So basically it’s an investment you’d need to make over time. I am currently looking at buying a little knight.
bro you think this is nuts you should see the price of my cedh decks for mtg almost 5k for just one of my decks.

why you dont play comps bro just play with friends
People who say yugioh or any TCG card game is too expensive, simply work too much and don't make much money. It's all time value perspective
yugioh cards has no value XD they reprint too much
@@cfelton2nd nice grammar buddy. I agree that modern cards have no value. Can't say the same for vintage cards.
magic holds its value, in 2 years a yugioh deck will be nearly worthless
Unfortunately yeah @@swank8508
