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.
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.
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?...
When I was a kid, it was extremely common advice to not buy single packs (except from reputable sources) because some people would remove all of the packs with foils in them first, then sell the remainder....
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).
Is anyone else just not vibing with the flavor of the upcoming Centurion archetype? The mechanical stuff it does is really cool - I love that we’re getting another deck that does stuff by treating monsters as continuous spell/traps. But every time I look at the card art my eyes just kind of glaze over. It’s like someone put...

A Blackwing deck missed the top cut at YCS Vancouver by just two points!
I think they’ve done a pretty good job supporting old archetypes (lemmy.world)

What’s the prizing like at your locals?
I wish locals would advert their prizing, so I thought I’d make a thread about it. What’s good and bad prizing at your local shops?...
Ban list predictions?
Anyone got any predictions ahead of the ban list? I think it will be out in around two weeks, yeah?...
Should King Calamity be banned? (www.db.yugioh-card.com)
I personally think so. We have too many tools to synch on an opponent’s turn now, and Calamity’s effect is just too oppressive.

I’m thinking I’ll build frogs/sharks/aquas or something.

Are people still weighing packs?
