Wow, that prizing seems INCREDIBLE! What’s the entry fee in this scenario?
A Blackwing deck missed the top cut at YCS Vancouver by just two points!
I feel like errata for cards, especially new or popular ones, make the game more complex, which is a proliferating problem in my opinion. The game is already very hard to teach.
Yeah, I agree — searches itself, AND it’s easy to summon.
I think so, yes. For as long as it exists, people will try to find ways to bring it out.
I’m thinking I’ll build frogs/sharks/aquas or something.
Someone creased one of my cards last night, just kinda “pinched” it off the top of the deck while trying shuffle my deck like playing cards. Thankfully it was only a ~7 dollar card, but it was still frustrating.
Konami’s app, Neuron, works pretty well for mobile, and the card data is all downloaded, I just tested it. It works without internet.
Given how bad some of the newer rarities look to me, I’m curious: what’s everyone’s favorite rarity? Which rarities do you think are too loud or cluttered or whatever?
I thought Ghost Rare was amazing when it came out, but a Collector’s Rare (esp. when in a sleeve) just doesn’t look that good to me. It kinda looks “dirty.”
I think the image runs together a bit — I’d like it if there were harder outlines, or a broader variety of colors used.
There’s this consequence of manufacturing where when they put, like, 4 ultras and 2 secrets in a box, if the 12 packs on the right (assuming a 24 pack box) have a secret rare in spot 1, and an ultra rare in spots 4 and 9, then the left side will also have a secret rare in spot 1, an ultra rare in spot 4, and an ultra rare in spot 9. Apparently this is not true for all manufacturers, and it’s more prevalent in some regions than others.
But basically, if you buy one pack at a time, you could be buying from the “other half” of a box where someone took all the packs from the left side, then the most valuable packs from the right side, selling you something unlikely to hold a high rarity card (though I think you could still get a starlight or QC rare since they do not try to get them in a certain proportion per box).
Aaaand a friend just explained “box mapping” to me :’(
That’s fair, yeah.
Thank you!
Yeah, it’s very possible they’ve studied the situation and have insight we don’t.
Still, as a returning player, I find the game fiendishly complex, and I’m worried about getting new players to love the game and to want to keep playing (as was a recent Konami shareholder, who raised these concerns at a meeting earlier this year).

It was! As a competitive player, I really love the intricacies of the mirror!
