I find it pretty odd to compare Yu-Gi-Oh to hobbies like gold or F1, because those things are only costly due to literal physical costs, like making car parts or golf clubs have a material, crafting and maintenance costs, basically it costs that much because it has to, cardboard with a bit of foil does not have to cost high prices all it does is push people away from the hobby for no real upside even Konami seems to be learning this slowly with more pushes to get new players. Like yeah Competitive yu-gi-oh will be more expensive but no one is complaining about your travelling cost, accommodation or entry fees the stuff that has to cost as much as it does, but cardboard is cardboard, their is no reason to have some level of elitism or needlessly high barrier to entry for cardboard and Konami knows player adoption rates are abysmal and they know their events suck at attracting a younger demographic when events are just filled with adults with expendable income. Not that people of all ages shouldn't enjoy the hobby but it really doesn't help marketing if the barrier to entry for competitive is so costly, it makes children unable to play this children's card game at a competitive level regardless of how good they are, may as well say "are you good at this game? doesn't matter come back when your middle aged, and have some expendable money between your mortgage and anxiety medication".

EXACTLY. I buy a fight stick 4 years ago for $400 and its still in perfect condition today. $400 was a lot upfront but it will last me a decade at least. I remember spending $300 on a playset of Kozmo Dark Destroyer when it first came out because Kozmo was supposed to be the best deck. Performage Trick Clown releases a week later when nobody thought that card would release in the TCG and all of a sudden, my new $600 Kozmo engine I had just bought was half the price it was before that announcement. The difference between Other hobbies and card games is that just because a new fight stick comes out, doesnt mean my $400 fight stick is now half as good. My fight stick is still just as good as it was when i bought it. In yugioh, you buy cards and ban lists, new cards, reprints, as well as the meta, can all drive the value of your original purchase and it just feels bad.

When it boils down to it, the game didn't begin to TRULY get expensive until Konami held back the Light and Dark structure decks and decided to print their exclusive cards as secret rares in the west. From there, we began to get sets with multiple secret rares and it got insane when GLAS came along. It's all about the distribution in the west versus distribution in Japan. What was once an accessible promo card is now a hard-to-pull secret rare (Necroface) made harder by the pool of other secret rares. And that's just one example. I didn't truly open my eyes to this BS until I saw the sheer price of Mark Glass' DDT build which was an estimated 500 plus at the time and three hundred of that was three cards (a playset of Magical Stone Excavation, another formerly accessible card made into a hard to obtain card by making it an ultra rare OTS pack prize).

Personally one of the biggest “issues” I have with modern Yugioh is all the (essentially) unlimited summoning and ending turns with full boards from the very beginning. I would be much more interested in modern if there was like a 5-summon limit or something like that. Similarly, making different types of summons easier to achieve (eg contact fusion instead of requiring polymerzation in hand, tributing generic cards for link summoning instead of specific monsters) exacerbates the issue for me where its “mundanely simple” to summon larger monsters. Rush Duels having unlimited normal summons is essentially the same thing for me. If you have 5 monster cards in hand and can just summon them all as a matter of course…the main difference between that and modern for me is that in modern like 20 cards could’ve been play with like 10 monsters coming from hand, deck, GY, and extra deck. I played Rush Duels for a day or two to give it a chance and I got Luke up to like level 12, but I was pretty bored of the mindless monster spamming.

I really like the concept of increasing complexity as the duel goes on for the start decks, but the card choices were very poor. I share similar thoughts in that they could've stuck to a theme that becomes apparent over time. Konami could have put in a few cards pertaining to an archetype for each deck and have the players execute a simple combo. For example, with 5 total Exosister cards, you can give newcomers a little taste of what modern YGO is like. Special Martha, use her effect to special Elis from deck, overlay into Mikailis, detach 1 and get Pax. Next turn, Pax searches the only remaining target in the deck, say Stella, for example. They now summoned a big card and obtained a form of follow up for next turn, even if it is just a single Stella. It's not much different from what the product was already teaching with XYZ monsters and Eldlich's multiple effects in a single card. Long effects are not as daunting when there is a guide telling you what to do and what effects to pay attention to. The small package of 4-5 archetype cards also makes recommending next steps easier for existing players, rather than telling newcomers to throw away their 40 card decks and only keep Prime Heart and Zeus.

When it comes to the starter deck talk, I've held the opinion that the starter deck should be both good at introducing the game to a prospective new player but also provide them with a good base to build on with other product. Not a one and done thing or something you buy at the start of a new format to get the new card type. Ideally, the deck should have the following: *A few vanilla/non effect beat sticks to teach new players that normal monsters have no effects but are useful for stats/maybe name or type usage [alexandrite dragon + keeper of the shrine, cards of consonance + laval dragon lvl 1 tuner] *a variety of effect monsters with different effects that teach various mechanics like special summoning, spot removal, piercing, flip, etc. [Ex, Goblindberg and maurading captain, breaker the magical warrior, man eater bug or hane hane, , rescue rabbit, etc] An extra deck of 15 cards using all the available summoning types, with generic extra deck staples [old or new] *Spell cards that teach the importance of these cards, cards that search, cards that destroy, cards that help summon, etc Trap cards that can help you in a spot like classic battle traps, trap holes, negates like fiendish chain, etc. Maybe even include a monster continous trap. And then maybe a side deck of cards with a guide on how deck building and siding works.

Great episode! Agree that the products should be better marked. Pokemon TCG has "levels" for some of their products now. Like a typical regular starter deck is a level 1. It's not going to teach you much about the way the actual competitive game is played, and all the cards are bad basically. It's basically for casual play at home. The "My First Battle" was also marked as a level 1 iirc. The level 3 decks are close to an actual competitive deck. Typically though they don't have full playsets of cards you would want 4 of. But you can basically buy 2 and have a competitive deck. I bought 2 of the Mew VMax ones and put them together and got a deck pretty cheap that way. Then you also end up with some extra staples and other good cards to put towards building another deck. Obviously YuGiOh is vastly more complex than Pokemon, but I think it would benefit from something like that. Pokemon also has a "Trainer Tool Kit" that comes out every year that too. It has recent staples and a few booster packs. Also has coin flip dice, and accessories like that that are used to play. It would be cool if YuGiOh had something like that as well in my opinion. For the Pokemon stuff it has Pokeballs that are filled in for each level. Maybe YuGiOh could have a logo of the Millennium Puzzle divided into 3-4 pieces, and the more pieces of the puzzle that are there the higher level the product.

Here is my take. Yes Konami is responsible because they choose to print meta relevant cards in high rarities and short prints, driving up the cost of not only the individual cards from resellers but the overall amount a person will spend per set. I have played in tournaments for alot of different card games .. tournaments are a fun experience that everyone should have access to. If the price point for a competitive deck is in the thousands or even in the hundreds, the game is too expensive for an average player. Yes it is a hobby, but don't forget what your actually buying is shiny pieces of cardboard. There are other costs to factor in when playing in tournaments, accessories, travel, food, accommodation, entry fee's etc .. in the end it is a game, and a game that ceases to be fun when you go to local's even and 1 or 2 people have spent alot of money on top cards and just stomp other people. I have been to tournaments where breaks have happened and players go out to eat and that one player that has a really expensive deck, either doesn't eat or has a chocolate bar while everyone else gets their subway or whatever because they spent all their money on cards and then getting to the tournament. I felt so bad for someone once, I bought them some food. There is a point when a hobby is just a cash grab .. anyone defending the prices of these card's in any way needs to take a look at what is actually being sold to the player. Any card game should be about the experience of playing the game .. your not spending thousands on skydiving equipment for your hobby, your being bits of plastic and cardboard.

Japan being the country that obsesses over paper for things like Origami or Charms/pray papers, etc. is the reason their paper stock is so high quality (I mean this is also the country where you can eat chicken raw or leave your eggs on the counter instead of the fridge because farm quality is so much better comparatively). As for pull rates it's just an (insert Asian country's version of game here) vs Americas/Global version of said game in general. As someone that plays mobile games, I can for a fact, 100% tell you that JP/KR games treat their customers with more hospitality compared to it's Global or American/english speaking fan base (even though they are the ones that invented gacha, love p2w mechanics, ect). An example of this includes Fate/Grand Order where milestone (anniversary or collab) rewards will present it's Asian players with maybe a free selector summon ticket or 5-10x gems. Americas/Global gets 2-3 gems and they call it a day. 2nd example included Kingdom Hearts Union Cross when I use to play it. Pity pull was 150 for Global, but 100 pulls for JP. In money terms that was like an 80$ difference if you wanted to just buy the gems and pull. Ontop of the lower pity rate you ALSO got the medal fully maxed, needless to say in Global you just got the medal you were pulling for. Japan also loves little knick knacks, thats why you get so many with your boxes, it all goes back to the gacha experience. In america most of us throw that stuff away because we had deemed it "useless trash", and walking around a tournament after it's over shows us this because not only do we not clean up after ourselves at our LGS we just leave that shit on the table wrapper and all after we take our UR/Secrets. The double edge sword of being a "leading first world country" and the english company handling the publication of said games seeing our free capitlistic hellscape economy and go "yeah we can do whatever we want to these poor suckers and they'll just take it up their ass with a *little* complaint but theyll always come back wanting more."

I recently fell in love with both your channels and really brought me back to get a physical copy of my favorite deck. Speaking about the considerate packaging, I think in the ocg despite whether the packs turned out to be good or not, remember they are Japanese products meaning the thoughtful delicacy nature and thinking for the customers are what makes these products comfortable to purchase. However, there were some ocg product disasters also. For example, when master of hyperion structure deck came out, nobody was expecting it to be good therefore not a lot of love to buy it. This low morale was continuous until they released the news to reprint the freaking meteor in the deck. Suddenly prices went crazy and everyone was teasing that you're buying a meteor with 39 hyperion cards as for card protection. What I don't like ocg konami is they are also somewhat breeding toxic consumer buying nature by releasing powerful handtraps on the verge of product release. I still support YGO by purchasing their figures and getting decks that are far from meta (cyber angel, generaids, cyber dragon... just to be honest) but it really is difficult to find purpose to buy every pack release nowadays except wait for the RC or PR collections at the end of the year.

I'm a yugi-boomer, college-educated, young professional (lawyer, engineer, doctor, nurse, professor, etc). I have a large yugioh community in my area, but 95% of them fit the "unkempt, do not shower" stereotype. I'm so envious of the people I see on vlogs and youtube that make/meet best friends through yugioh. Aside from casual conversation about the game, I struggle to connect with this community and it makes playing IRL yugioh hard for me. I see people like Team APS, MBT, and Cimooo and I ask myself where are people like them to play with! When I do go to a local in a blue moon, I've found it more fun to drive an hour to the nearest big college town and play with college students, etc. I was wondering what your guys general thoughts on my situation, and if you've met anyone like me in your yugioh journey?

Late to this discussion, but yeah my big issue with the decks are that they are at such a low level of deck, that if a beginner player would go from this what to next? you can't really use these decks against a structure deck, and if you decide to go to the structure deck, the strucutre decks are already way more complex, like if they went to the darkworld structure deck, they need to learn alot of nuance in card text, like discard for cost or effect. Also not introducing link and fusion also are bad, like they know basics of xyz and sychro, then decide to got to locals with this brick fest, they then play against albaz, and just a misunderstanding on how fusion works, or play against salad and not understand links. They should have made the set cohesive, and also introduce mixed mechanics, like do a fusion xyz deck, and a link synchro deck or make 4 decks and do an xyz deck, fusion ritual deck, pendulum link and the synchro deck. that way you know the basics of how all mechanics work, and if the 2 newbies enjoy the game, they can then use the 2 extra decks to create a more competent deck that could go to locals.

I think that your take on giving a theme to the starter decks would be ok, but that could make new players to think that you have to play "themed", when that's not true. It should come with experience then to decide whether or not to do themed stuff or not. Not giving this theme preconception to the new player in this starter was generically the better choice in my opinion. The Zeus vs Prime Heart, Synchro vs XYZ in this case is probably already enough for roleplay

42:21 Konami DOES set the prices. When yugioh makes product, whatever it may be, they determine the strength, rarity, and the pull rates of the cards alongside other factors they control like the forbidden list and whether it is legal to use OCG copies of the cards or not. Konami makes a "bad" set with many cards that players don't necessarily want in that set, then make the cards people do want as a high rarity, it makes purchasing the set risky for vendors. If only Bonfire, Thrust, and Rollback are valuable in this set for example (there are a couple other pulls of value but not many), then vendors need to price those cards in order to make a profit from the set. If Konami made Bonfire a common, the price would be lower. If Konami didn't ban some of the cheaper meta options like Infernoble, Rikka, and Unchained, it might be lower. The argument that Konami doesn't drive the secondary market is so wrong for so many reasons. No, they don't "enter the prices for the vendors into their keyboard on TCGplayer, but they do determine the amount of the high value cards they print, their pull rates and the overall strength of the card to create an ecosystem where the card costs exactly that much based on demand.

The Starter Set should have had 4 decks, and the two decks in addition to the tutorial decks, should have been a more complex tutorial deck for the modern game. Once you've learned the basics, it moves you into a more competitive deck, with instructions on how you can convert the two included decks into one actually viable, Tier-3/Tier-2 deck. Maybe also include a video that explains micro rulings and contradictions. Hell, make this product into a more serious way of getting people in. Add a playmat, some dice, a coin, sleeves and a deck box. New players, especially kids, should be introduced to sleeving their cards.

The prices of Fighting Flame Swordsman and Fighting Flame Sword are around £5+ per copy, both of these cards are required for the deck and asking players to spend at least £30 on 6 cards for a casual deck is absurd. Konami could have easily put some reprints of cards from last year in here before putting them in the tins as chase cards. Why not put Chimera the King of Phantom Beasts in here or Gold Pride cards in higher rarities? The Dark Magicians and other casual /anime cards that are not meta could have been put in here such as the poker knights from KICO.

my thing about the whole yugioh is a hobby so its okay to be expensive. Heres why that doesnt apply to yugioh. If you could do your hobby at a certain price or your hobby at like half the price and get al the same equipment, you would look dumb for chosing the more expensive option. Yugioh has a cheaper option in the OCG, so if said hobby could be played cheaper and the company is succesfull, then you look not so smart for picking the more expensive option. IF I can can get chicken for 2 dollaes a pound , why would I buy the same chicken at the same quality for 5. So when guys like Susu from head to battles and Jeff Jones are saying because yugioh is a hobby, when they is a cheaper said version of that hobby we should use, you kinda look bad

You are just wrong, it's not that much effort on Konami's side to just make a few additional banlists for lower powered formats and this is exactly what Yugioh needs, nothing comes even close. Let the sweaty try hards do their insane combos and let other people play decks in an environment where they don't have to play through 3 negates. There are so many decent decks that have simply no place in tournaments but at the same time are modern which is why you can't play them in time-wizard formats either. Konami could even sell sets that are catered towards those lower powered formats.

Yes, but I don't see a problem with it, no one is forcing you to use it, but it would make it easier to have some sort of consensus.

I am of the opinion that players (buyers) do have power. Just do not buy into badly designed sets. If you see unreasonably short printed cards, just skip it. Play something else. Over the last 3 years, I have not opened sealed product except for the Rarity Collection, which I thought was a good product since it follows the OCG model of multiple rarities per card. Even if a lot of the cards in the set went down, you can pretty much make your box back almost every time you buy a RC box. I find that the issue comes from bad sets still selling. If bad sets sell, Konami as a business has no reason to change. They are making more profit with less effort. That's the dream of every company: work less, make more. If a very large portion of the player base stops buying a set, Konami will likely become less complacent and predatory. Speak with wallets and companies will listen.

Rush Duels handling in the TCG is such a botch job. No anime to promote it. No advertising for it. They made a subpar(always online) game, and released it as Digital only, removing the collectors cards in it, so it didn't have the draw appeal for anyone who wanted to collect those cards, which would have generated attention for the game itself. It wasn't on a shelf for people to casually come across, rather just popped up on the eShop with no fanfare and then got buried. Then they brought it to Duel Links, where it's now a separate mode, that people coming into Duel Links might and probably do, overlook, as they came for Duel Links. Not Rush Duels. Not only that, but who wants to spend their time investing in Rush Duels in Duel Links, when they've already invested their time and money into Duel Links/Speed Duels, which does the same job as Rush Duels, of making a much more accessible YGO.

I think the take that the starter decks couldn't just be shuffled and played after the scripted duel is just wrong. People that are just starting Yu-Gi-Oh are being given what most people said they liked about school yard Yu-Gi-Oh. Random cards (no archetypes yet, but some big blowout cards) and longer games due to a lower consistency (similar to the og starter decks). Will someone go from the starter straight to playing a structure deck or the meta at locals? Probably not. But they need fundamentals to even start learning the structure decks. An intermediate set and a starter fusion vs link could easily be released next, but that's less likely when everybody in the community shits on these kind of products for not catering to current competitive players.
