One piece TCG killed all the momentum for so half the fans dropped it. Now the supply and demand to continue for the cards to get printed. They need to charge more cuz there's not as much demand and they don't have as much supply

Baindai just wants to create a ton of card games instead of focusing on just digimon and one piece if they focused on the 2 games they would be better of they now have battle spirits and now union arena 4 card games in total now maybe more i dont know but they really need to focus on digimon and one piece

I started when the game first released and went hard up till around BT8, where I fell off to a more casual level. I then started going to locals again and getting more into the game around BT12 but that was short lived due to money. I have picked up the Online Simulator so that me and my friends can still play, but have recently been looking into picking up a few decks to go to locals again. But man, these prices are pretty wild. I really wanted to come back play 7 Demon Lords since I have always used purple decks, but it is far outside what I'm willing to pay right now. Royal Knights was expensive on release, but me and my friend split a few boxes and were able to build pull most of what we needed for that. That doesn't seem nearly as feasible now, and really deters me from opening boxes again. I still think the game overall is cheap, especially on a casual level. It just sucks cause opening packs is one of the most fun things about the hobby and the game is heavily skewed towards buying singles right now. And even then the top decks seem way more expensive compared to a year ago.

So, the way I look at things is this: If it's a Alt Art or some special variation of the card, then ok I can kinda understand why they get priced at $25 a copy or more let's say right But if it's just a regular SR that you know people need for the deck, then personally I don't think it needs to be $45 + shipping per 1 copy But at the same time, I'm also in a position where buying singles and boxes isn't exactly something I can always do

It is pricing people out of the game. I only know a handful of people who can afford to play meta decks, and they preorder boxes and trade for the cards they need instead of buying singles because of the prices of SRs. I can really only afford to play budget decks now or decks that one of my friends gives to me (shoutout SomeNumbers). It’s very disheartening, especially since I was sold on this game as being cheap, and coming from yugioh that really enticed me

Something to note here that can actually help, and maybe Bamco will heed or learn from is from the Pokemon TCG. See, something I realized is they handle both the competitive aspects and collector aspects quite well. For a simple $40 or so you get the deck that won the last major tournament, just straight up with 2 extra packs of the newest set. What this does is it makes it to where the Alt arts, and actual collectible cards will maintain/increase their value. But the standard cards will go down to roughly 10-20 cents a card depending, where the highest end card would be roughly $5 at most, no breaking the bank, gets new blood into the game, and gives it longevity to a point that there's still value in the shiniest of cardboards. AND they do 3 tiers of it for how serious you want to be about it going from a "draft" style to a 1:1 creation of the deck (I'm a YGO and Pokemon collector, shiny cardboard might as well be my glasses lol) EDIT: Great video btw, I'm not sure if you plan to do more indepth things like this for the Digimon TCG but I subbed in case you do :) keep up the great work ,

This is the problem with another game, Universus. They've been having 15-20 URs (the equivalent of SRs) since the start of the game, and a few sets ago changed to 20+. URs are getting expensive, but also just harder to obtain. Which means that people are also less willing to part with cards they pull, which makes the singles market even worse. Some cards have become just completely unobtainable. Right now UVS is struggling to get new people in (gee I wonder why nobody wants to invest in a game where URs consistently range between £10-40). Yet their next set will have 30+ URs. Let's hope Bandai doesn't fall for the same trap of thinking that people buy more boxes just because there are more expensive cards in it.

I got 6 boxes hoping for at least 1 SR diaboromon.... Nothing. My locals had sold out over boosters and didn't get them back until last week. I can't afford 6 boxes every set let alone, 20 just for 1 card that no one else sells

As a collector I hardly noticed a price jump. Players and especially meta players are gonna feel it more as I make it a point not to collect the latest set from the price hike from the meta game. However, I did notice the ratios dropping. What I do, or rather did, was purchase a box and fill out my collection through singles. After opening boxes from 14 onwards this became more expensive than just buying singles in terms of accessing higher rarity cards so I'm going to have to stop. What I found was I was spending around 75 to 100 on a box than even more than another 100 to finish a single set due to the price of higher raity cards. I assure previously this was not the case.

Tangentially related, but Something I’m considering lately is how many new decks there are. With the new SRs it doesn’t feel like there’s enough time to play more decks. So I personally might just try to sell or trade away SRs on decks I don’t plan to play more so than I would in the past. It might be part of the unification of sets fault was my initial thought but if there’s more SRs, that’d make sense as well.

Honestly, coming from a Vanguard and YGO background (and VERY briefly One Piece which can be almost as egregious as YGO), Digimon is definitely pretty affordable at the local level unless every single person is playing a meta deck. Still, id have to say Pokemon is the most affordable well-known TCG at the moment.

I argue digimon still isnt that expensive tbh. Imperialdramon, yes the New paildramon is expensive, but for a budget player the ST paildramon can do the job too. And for the New ex set, like bandai needs to sell boxes, otherwise we wont see more digimon, so ofcourse they make a key card of a wanted deck Harder to get. But theres still cheap options. 3 great Angels arent a bad deck, and its rather cheap. Ragnalordmon have shown its a solid rouge option, because Meta decks going to struggle against a wall that isnt effected by digimons on the oppenents turn, and doesnt trigger security effects in their own turn.

You're right, there are *only* 6 per EX! I was counting the box topper as an SR hit in my mind lol The actual expected number of boxes needed for a playset is actually 13.7 at that amount! That's *worse* than BT sets if you don't account for alts.
