MULTCHARMY FUWALOS IS BANKRUPTING PLAYERS

That’s just a western point of view. That thing is 1480¥ a piece now (14 USD) for a RARE and it’s a hefty amount for OCG players considering you need 3. To y’all 42 USD might be dirt cheap but for asia that’s a lot of money

[@damascar3639]

​@AvantsPianoScores, yeah, I saw up to 2k yen for it, and for a rare that's INSANE, I agree. But that does not mean making it a secret makes it better wtf kind of logic is that 😅 oh it's an expensive card at this relatively lower rarity. Let's make it even harder to get !! Like whats your point ? Edit : and while price is a factor too, it's availability that is also an issue. Like, say you buy a box or ROTA in the TGC and one in the OCG . There's no way you're getting a playset of it in the TCG, you'll probably not even get one with just one box. Meanwhile, in the OCG, you *can* potentially get 3 copies with just one box.

[@Yami0to0hikari]

Let just do some basic math. Take vietnam for example. The mean income is approximately 6k usd per year while for the us it is abt 60k usd. So after adjusting for income i expect a playset to be 420 by ocg standard yet it is costing more then 600 so approximately more then 33% more expensive. This is alrdy bias towards the tcg lol. If i actually calculate using the actual mean of the tcg world, the income ratio to cost will be even more ridiculous lol

Fuwalos was the thing that broke the camels back for not just me but many of my friends at locals.

Anyways, on to One Piece, where a playset of fuwalos is 2-3 top meta decks, staples included.

I get it. This is why i moved to playing MD exclusivelt even after my favorite deck (Thundra) got insane unhits, i didnt mind snake eye or whatever being a morbillion dollars. Hell i got an ulti colossus when it spiked. I wasnt upset when it crashed. What i am upset about first was little knight because it felt very much like little knight was a must buy staple but whatever there are alternatives, i know a lot of people were upset with SP, and either way SP was ONE 100$ card, whatever, but Mulch is way too pricy, and you HAVE to play 3 to hope to do anything no matter what deck youre on, its miserable people dont mind expensive engines, we arent forced to buy fiendsmith to play against fiendsmith persay, but Fuwalos feels like you have to buy it to play against it no matter the deck.

[@maliksmith9003]

So let me get this straight, Konami is trying to incentivize every player (and by extension distributers) to buy expensive boxes to build decks. By creating a system that makes it so their only relevant products intentionally hard to obtain, before cheating that system to make them more artificially scarce anyway. And their only justification for this practice is "alternative obtainment methods are inflated." Got it. Anywho, I can't wait to get back into the game I loved in my youth now that I can afford things what with my line cook salary 🤡

@@Jrpg_guy makes the decks really bulky and some people are just used to the size. Personally i've played magic and other larger card size games and the bulk is fine, just as long as you're not doing some crazy shit like making ppl shuffle toploaders or something.

[@BlackPawn14]

Fixing the clown gas analogy: In the Yu-Gi-Oh case, "Clown gas" always produces gas, and sells it at $20 the gallon. "Regular gas" produces plain water 90% of the time, and only actual gas 10% of the time, and sells at $2 per gallon. So, yeah; people will buy "Clown gas", because it's _guaranteed_ to give them what they want. In that regard, "Regular gas" is a terrible service, unless you're really into gambling. Numbers-wise, there's a 35% chance that you won't get any gas after spending $20 in "regular gas", compared to 100% after spending $20 in "clown gas". So yeah. Konami, get real.

[@blackartsasmr2146]

You don't need to fix it, the analogy was actually 100% accurate but not in the terms that tewart meant it (it was a little freudian slip from the little oven dodger). The tcg IS the clown gas and you're forbidden from using any of the cheaper gas (OCG or even asian english cards) to play the game

[@TheLilytron]

I think a huge reason Magic players are like that, is the reserved list. With that list they invited investors in, and now this unhealthy mindset that your cardboard pieces meant to facilitate your hobby should also be an investment is so entrenched in the community that it is impossible to drive out anymore and even allows Wizards to specifically print for the speculative market. I personally fully agree with you that cards should not inherently hold a lot of value and should be widely accessible. I've heard the argument that the OCG can do this because they have a much larger playerbase and as such can offload their stock anyway, but imho that doesn't really make that much sense, as the playerbase would likely grow if people didn't have to make a starting investment of several hundred $/€ to see if this game is for them.

[@casuallydone468]

A big also is rotation, Little Knight will likely be playable for what maybe 2 years as a SUPER staple, there are very few foolishes or ashes that just stay meta relevant indefinitely, most staples have a 1-2 year lifespan (At best) due to the banlist as well as just how fast creep is in Yugioh. People playing magic outside of standard (Especially in commander) expect their cards to hold value for YEARS, Grief was a super staple that held all of its value through reprints for almost 4 years straight and only died because of a ban, same with Fury. Old cards in yugioh generally dont hold value even staples like say ROTA. Due to the way Konami structures reprints and sets. In magic if a card was 40$ in 2017 its its probably still over 20$ now, Mtg cards just generally tend to hold their value better, therefore players enfranchised expect for those cards and new cards to hold some level of value even through reprints. Its not neccasarily an investment, just an expectation Look at the fetchlands, fetchlands, a super staple, insanely reprinted, consistently hold a 10-40$ price cycle for 14 years straight naturally theyve dipped over time but people buy fetchlands and expect them to relativelt stay over 10$ well forever, and then when they reprint half the other half go up, with the price overall dipping a dollar or two each reprint more permanently. Its the structure of staples in each format.

[@HaSuOrbs]

My thought is -- Us the OCG rarity distribution. Period. People who want to play can afford it to play and the high rarity cards can hold their "value" longer. Heck -- If the cards are more available stores are more likely to sell more product because it is easier for ppl to pull what they want -- And collectors can hunt the shiny version. Would make everyone happy.

[@WombatOfDisaster]

Then habe a common or rare and a rarity for the collectors, otherwise it's a moneygrab.

[@easyygo3008]

It doesn't work. People would still buy singles as is still cheaper. In pokemon TCG pulling good cards still puts you down often. Is very unlikely you will make any money from a pokemon booster box at all even when pulling a chase card.

[@TylerMcVeigh1]

It's not just Fuwalos, Dominus Impulse is also going to be a very saute after card and it's lowest print is going to be a secret rare. There is a pretty good chance that if you just want a playset of both cards it's going to run you between $400 and $500 USD all because Konami refuses to print cards in reasonable rarities.

[@sutoriimmortal2177]

Konami is explicitly anti-consumer and they have been for years. If they get the chance, 9/10 times they will pick the worst possible option for players in order to gain even a little bit in whatever way they think will. Even if its a terrible business choice.

[@hexencorner666]

11:35 even that is a gamble. Just look at our boy Ruxin34. He has opened more than 3k boosters of Duel Revenge and not a single Magia has being pulled...

[@ItsReallyColdOutside]

The reason why MTG wants cards to be expensive is the reserved list. For those who don't know, in MTG there is a list of old and powerful cards that are in the "reserved list". That means that this cards will never be reprinted. This makes the community see cards as investments and stocks, so people tend to buy expensive cards with the intention of holding value to eventually cash in. It warped half of the community to see cards as trading stocks instead of what they actually are, a piece of cardboard for a game.

[@Personarose]

Yeah, I feel comfortable greatly cutting back on buying Yu-Gi-Oh cards with anti consumer practices like this especially when Konami actually came close to following the friendly OCG model in the past. I just wish much more of the community would do something similar instead of making excuses so Konami would feel enough pressure to stop engaging in these practices.

[@SomniaCE]

I feel like if a single is every more than $40-50 for the base rarity then the company has utterly failed. If there is a holo or a full art version that goes for $100+ then w/e but it is wild a few people act like there is no way to avoid these situations like other TCGs haven't found their own methods.

4:40 issue is you can spend the 200 and still not get your gas.

[@HapsterHap]

7:00 You started to touch on it here. As much as players hate these kind of sets, it's the only time stores can feel okay actually ordering a large amount of product. My store has gone down to ordering less than 3 cases for core sets and a case for side sets. This time around, I'm trying 5 cases for this ROTA, and may do even more if YGO is popular enough again. This is good for players because it means better prize support at locals too as they're getting booster packs from the new set, rather than garbage packs from some side set that didn't sell from a year ago.

[@vamp567]

As much as I hate how expensive Fiendsmith is, it makes sense. It’s a meta engine, and not every deck runs it. But this pattern of making staples that need to be run expensive is a continuous show that Konami has 0 respect for its players

I would love if Yugioh was a Clown Gas situation, because the implication is that Clown Gas is the same as any other gas in any other gas station at any given time. Or in other words, all cards in all boxes are all at commons, and rarities are just shiny upgrades at all times.

I don't double sleeve because way back in the day you weren't allowed, and I just kept the habit. Also, there was a study on this and the riffle shuffle is objectively the best shuffle in terms of creating randomness.

[@flackenstien]

We need Rares back and any staple type card like this should come in both Rare and Ultra. Secrets should be reserved for 1-of power cards, like a new Synchro Monster, nostalgia bait cards, or supplementary cards that are powerful but niche, like Painful Decision. 13:00 The reason for this is that our game is competitive, while theirs is not. They're just roleplaying as a wizard and want to brag about their cards. (I know that it's not all MTG players who are like this, I'm sure many of you just want to have fun competing.) MTG's most popular format is where you play a deck with 100 1-ofs, face 3 other players at once, life is doubled and everyone decides that aggro decks are banned because they make it hard to do big flashy combos 20 turns later.

[@Lucifer_isthereal_god]

Solution: stop letting the secondary market blame Konami for putting a ridiculous price on cards.

[@thiccboicory9964]

Cardboard should never be more then few cents

[@AshGodfrost]

The core issue is the average cost of the cards themselves. In MTG a set might include 2-5 cards worth more than 10 quid. Then you have another 3-8 that cost around 5 quid. The costs of the cards are more averaged (not in all sets) but in a fair amount of sets due to the playability of those cards.

[@shaaaaaaaaaaa]

$500 so that I can win...locals? A rubber mat? Gross.

[@hexi9595]

Here is my theoretical fix. Every card in the set has a common print but some cards will also have a Secret/Ulti/Ultra/Super/Rare print in the same set. Both sides benefit. Collectors can bling out their decks and players can play w the commons w no issue.

[@Siegfriedmuetz]

I feel it so hard when you said that cards should not hold value, I just wanna play this game but I can't because I am in an financially struggling situation and I can't even play locals since I can't win against a player with Fulwaros and Fiendsmith in their decks. The powercreep with the pricetag that it holds is so high many friends also stopped playing and pricing is not that high that you can even satisfy the competitive players that even still buy the expensive staples. It is really sad to see how Konami or Wizards of the Coast spits on their playerbases so much.

[@kroffen7]

After being disheartened by the tins I dove back into Pokémon. And the fact that any card is like 5 euro max. And if you need a card… Get the poor man’s card… Or the fancy card for 2x -200x price! Depending on the starting price. While in Yugioh we pretty much only got the 200x price option :/

[@casuallydone468]

This is a big problem with Yugioh not being a draftable set. In MTG for example even a set like New Capenna that is worth dog nothing 3.20$ a pack, you can STILL as a store host draft and throw Capenna packs in there to eventually run down that inventory that is otherwise pretty dead now. You can't do that with Yugioh packs so the product is just actually straight up dead.

[@SorinCloud]

Another example between the OCG doing multiple rarities of a card and the TCG doing only one: Dragon Master Magia. In the OCG, because it has an Ultra Rare, as well as the QCR, the Ultra is about 20 dollars. For the TCG, because they only printed the QCR, at the time of posting this, it has gone up to 995 DOLLARS!

[@Burn2themall]

I agree that all cards should be common it would finally allow everyone access to cards and destroy the stigma of being priced out

You know, it may be time to let Yugioh die. We've been in tier 0 after tier 0 format, the price has gotten beyond outrageous, and the thought of power creep going past where we are now is terrifying. Local stores can't afford to stay above water with Yugioh product anymore, and with terrible sealed products, even non-Yugioh stores are likely to just drop it altogether.

[@NARFNra]

MTG chose to court investors decades ago, meanwhile YGO is mostly just players. Honestly given how Konami is, I think their goal is to push the game to its absolute limit, wait until it completely breaks in the TCG, and then say "Hey guys, let's all play Rush Duel/some new card game now!" They know the die-hard fanbase is going to keep playing because we don't have that many other options, and more short-term profit = more better by corporate standards. They might keep it around in the OCG where people still buy it because they care about competitive pricing there, but I can totally imagine a world where they shut down all western releases and call it a day.

that shit cost 10 bucks in rare in japan, that tells you that secret rare will cost a fortune

[@enricofischer1330]

The Problem is that Konami doesn't share the risks that come with their products. Konami sells their Produkt directly to retailers, who make long term contracts(clueles) and are contractualy obligated to purchase bad prodicts(literal papper). Konami is aware about what is happening, however they don't bear any consequences so they will not change their product design(bad cards are easier to balance). These Contracts are also a Japanese thing. Western Companies share the burden(like WOC). Japanese Companies always build a subserviant relationship(bc culture and rasism idc).

Every day, i feel like switching to Elestrals more and more...

[@lusasedoux479]

QCR Fuwalos has hovered around $400. Guess I’m buying packs, only because that’s ridiculous, and if I don’t get it, f me I guess, Konami hates us.

Sonic Forces reference?! In my Stevie Blunder video!?

[@_yamiberserker8819]

It's so fucking unreal why they won't make the rarity distribution more like the RC, i live in a 3 third world Country and we bought cases of that set it was crazy how good it was. It won't kill them if the card has 2 or more rarities in the set like the malcharmy having a super and a secret and qcr, everyone will buy boxes if it was like this, but in no way I'm buying something not guaranteed to get.

Me and other fellows that play Edison and Goat seeing the TCG in flames in the distance: 😐

Time to proxy guys. Not even judges will spot the difference. At these prices it is better than making banknotes

[@dandok3996]

Its funny because when they get reprinted in the tins/rarity collection 3 theyll get banned 4-6 months after

[@user-qf9mt4be1y]

i pulled one out of a booster box. i dont even play but that last pack magic hit. im probably going to go trade it at a store for a spell ruler booster box and maybe a ghost from the past 2 mini box. guy said he would do about 125cad trade. i dont play i just like ripping packs and just got back in because i couldnt afford when i was young. i figured best to get rid of it sooner than later because if everyones crying im sure it'll get banned and drop in price eventually, right? may as well cash out when i can.

[@victortineo9278]

it's not bankrupting me because I'm 100% not paying for it. Pre-sales value are around 700/800 BRL. Basically 2/3 of the minimum wage :D

[@km-nl6pu]

And the tins didn't even make the important stuff from last year cheap enough sadly... (And I can actually afford Mulcharmy's)

[@Shrimp4Gura]

I have everything for Fiendsmith Fabled, except the 335$ for the 3 Tract and the 3 Husbando. Probably not gonna be able to make it till it hits Master Duel cuz i live in California and everything is else is expensive here.

Konami's fy24 is digital services/games revenue being over amusement (pachinko and slots) Amusement has been on a decline for a while and has not been a primary revenue driver in a long time

[@Ha19000]

I just don't get why Konami aren't using Yugioh IP for different video games. Imagine a new Yugioh RPG or Souls Like.

[@Spamthulhu]

Seriously, you guys can stop buying the cards for a while and wait for the price to drop.

[@lionhartcaelum6833]

Lets be forreal Its not gonna happen cause we still have whales justifying the state of the game cause they can afford to pay for high end cards

[@Spamthulhu]

@@lionhartcaelum6833 self inflicted wounds

[@Andre214uy]

How long do you suggest someone should wait??

[@marctijerina7191]

@@lionhartcaelum6833I mean, it’s gonna be a really good card to have. Yes this price is insanely stupidly high but I’m still going to get my 3.

[@Spamthulhu]

@overlord69ification I'd say till the cards are affordable and you guys can play without spending 1k for a deck. Also protest buying the boxes and maybe the prices will relax

[@Gelstorm2010]

If Mulcharmy Fuwalos is similar to Maxx "C" why not just unban Maxx "C" in the TGC?

[@rhysjonsmusic]

Because TCG players have an irrational hate boner for Maxx C

[@nicolaabbate4704]

Because it's not , it's a lot weaker, MaxxC Is an unbalanced card and the point of the mult cards is to replace it

[@RedLinkGaming]

Which is why I stick to online sims like dueling nexus, ygo omega etc
