Hey Farfa! So this is awkward, but i'm the guy you bought that Salamangreat deck from. Thanks for featuring me on table 500 live edition. Haha. You're my favourite Yugituber so to open my KZbin to find a video of you roasting me honestly made my day. :D Regarding your analysis though I just wanted to explain my perspective on things and clarify that i'm in no way trying to scam or mislead people with the decks I sell. I'm actually the one who started the whole ready to play deck thing, and the aim was the opposite of scamming people. Back when I started on Ebay a decade or so ago it was full of people selling lucky dip sets of cards that quite clearly weren't going to be what was shown in the listing, and sealed boosters that had been pre-scaled. I wanted a way to sell cards to people in a more transparent and honest way, so I devised my pre-constructed deck idea as a way to do that. The idea being that it allowed me to list everything that was included so that people knew exactly what they were purchasing. I do put a lot of thought into what to put in each deck in order to make them fun and playable, whilst still being very affordable. I've had tens of thousands of happy customers over the years, a lot of whom have returned to buy more decks after the first, so there is definitely a segment of the community who really like what I do and find my decks represent good value. I think what it comes down to is whether you want to play competitively or casually. I've always aimed my decks more at the kind of players who just want to have some fun with friends rather than attending big tournaments, just because that allows me to make the decks cheaper, which is a big factor for a lot of people. For instance you mention that you could build a better deck with 3 of the structure decks, which is definitely true, but it would cost twice as much as the deck you bought from me. Spending that extra £12 would represent better value if you are intending to take that deck to a serious tournament, but if you're just playing at home with friends you might not feel the same way. I would never advertise any of my decks as being tournament winning level, but I try to make sure they are ready to play casually, and that they provide a very solid core that you can build upon if you do want to take things to the next level. You have to remember that the competitive market for Yu-Gi-Oh is only a small part of the game, there are probably far more people that just play with friends or even don't play at all and just want to collect all the cards from a theme they have seen on the TV show. All these segments of the market deserve to be catered for just as much as the competitive market do, so just because a product isn't right for you doesn't automatically make it a scam. In general I would encourage anyone who is looking at one of my decks to check the description as I always put a deck list in there for you. If you like what you see that's great, I would love to have your business and you can be assured I will give you the best service I can, but if you don't like it and decide not to buy that's totally ok too. I understand completely that my decks aren't for everyone, and I have no wish to trick anyone into buying things that they don't want as that wouldn't be a positive experience for me or the buyer. Since I have the opportunity though I just want to thank anyone reading this who has bought one of my decks in the past and had some fun playing with it. You've helped me turn the game I love into something I can make a living from, and it's hard to express how much that means to me. The Yu-Gi-Oh community has changed my life, so I just wanted to say thank you to you all from the bottom of my heart. :)

[@Farfa]

Thanks for replying, it's crazy you even found this. I understand your perspective and obviously from where I'm standing the decks just seem like complete piles. I don't want to blame you for people being stupid if they thought they were actually going to pick up a good deck. It's not a scam or anything as I first thought, I think you're doing a good job overall, for the most part by making these for people. At least it gives them an idea on how to play a deck or archetype before they commit to upgrades, I suppose.

[@najim3000]

Those decks are actual trash though, intentions are fine but the product is still bad enough to where you could make new players stop playing if they were to buy that garbage lol. Good intentions don't make selling hot ass right.

[@HaydenX]

I remember selling a MtG U/W Control, ready-to-play Standard deck (not including sideboard/side deck) back during Ravnica/Champions Standard, including good-quality sleeves, and deck box...but I sold it for $325. All in total, the value of the cards, and deck box/sleeves, had I sold them (and not bought the sleeves and deck box), would have earned me $298. So...a less than 10% additional profit felt fair for a decklist that I was still actively using and winning with in tournaments (I took a couple of pictures of myself using the deck locally in a 36-person tournament, and included it in the listing as well as the results with me undefeated). In all, I sold 5 exact copies of the deck for the same price. It was pretty fun to basically make my own pre-con/structure deck...but yeah, If I'd tried to sell it for $15...it wouldn't have been tournament-viable for sure. I still could have made it fun, but when the sleeves + box would cost 40% of the end price...you wouldn't have been able to expect a miracle. I feel that this is an incredible outcome for something pretty cheap. I don't really think it's misleading...mainly because it is a functional deck, and no one should actually expect a 12-pound miracle (unless Konami releases a ridiculously OP structure deck...they can set whatever price they want and still basically be profitable).

[@arkanamaster4961]

Heatleo can’t spin scales because it has to spin a Card in the spell and trap card zone. When pendulums are place in the spell and trap card zone, they become only pendulum zones not additional spell and trap card zones

[@delaw3656]

Are you completely sure? Last ruling I came across was that Heatleo can spin scales because they're still treated as S/T zones and can't be treated as anything else. The only spell Heatleo can't spin is the field spell zone.

[@WinterGray8888]

Holy shit i bought a raidraptor deck from this guy as a kid and it was great! My friend bought a monarch one and we used to play all the time. Honestly it was super fun.

[@vvvprince9487]

Depending on what time of the format, buying a “tournament ready” deck can be a good deal, you just have to know card prices really well, but it can be worth it, most of the time it isn’t but it seriously can be worth it

[@weckar]

Wait... As I recall, the SD didn't have Sunlight wolf either?

[@narfd.8837]

The pendulum player clearly didn't know his deck at all, so obviously his turns end on literally nothing. Also, going to locals with a sided deck? What? Siding out Timegazer? What the fuck? The eBay Deck had a value of maybe 4€, if that.

[@imramblin1638]

heatleo can spin back row(not once per turn) when link summoned using itself it can change attack of enemy card. Missed the oppertunity for a board wipe. Thats what i call tournament ready

[@CronoWiiUxblCrono]

I really think this depends on the customer. Some customers want a deck that plays in the old school format while others wanting something that's somewhat competitive and others want that Tier 1 deck. It looks like your deck worked but is meant for casual play.

[@Sillimant_]

I use them to decide if I like a deck or not, it's easy to tell if a deck meshes with you well after the first few turns. Then if I like it I get the cards I need, if I don't, meh, no big deal. They're pretty good for that, not so much anything beyond that

[@GreenLightningHood]

Hey there reader if you think this is a scam id just like to point out for you that THE LIST OF CARDS WAS IN THE DESCRIPTION. This guy was just trying to make casual decks for people who like to play the game. Ready to play literally just means that a deck has between the minimum and maximum amount of cards and the cards in it are not banned. And for you idiots saying what about the children, how about if you are old enough to find something online you are probably old enough to read a list of cards and reviews.

[@FairlyAdequate35]

I dont feel like the abyss actor player was playing the deck right, it's one of my favorites to play and I've noticed when you rely to heavily on the aspect of your opponent popping your cards you brick and just kinda sit there not doing anything, especially once they figure that trick out. Even with the field spell and comic relief it's just to gimmicky. Instead I like to focus on abusing the pendulum mechanic to vomit out 5 or so abyss actor monsters, activate rise of the abyss king, pop 5 and swoop in for game. Just my insight though

[@TeamSNGYuGiOh]

I recently got back into the game and found these ebay decks a difficult thing to figure out its nice to see someone highlighting these decks. I love alot of your content and meeting you at YCS London was great. I hope that we don't lose you on youtube over this COPPA kids content issue. I'm a small Yu-gi-oh channel just starting out. I do this for fun and started my channel to try and develop a community to bring non-competitive and competitive players together, because most the top Yugitubers are geared toward the competitive players. My fear is that the lockdown of comments, likes etc. will make the community I hope to build impossible. The fact I will not likely ever get monetized isn't the main issue for me, its the lack of interaction with the community that I was hoping to develop to never happen.

Ok not gonna lie, you start the video off fairly condescendingly like only you know what it takes to make "a playable deck". This guy on ebay is in the right. I just paid $20 on ebay for a 50 card krawler deck (10 link, 40 deck; 3 supers and 3 rares, rest are common) and i hope its from this guy so i can support him. Id rather give him my business and then go online and buy some singles to finish however i would want to build it, or hell i may not even need anything since i checked the deck list and it looks good as is. Why spend $50 on 3 started decks from konami or worse spend over $100 for a booster box to not even be able to build a deck. At least he is helping new players or old players returning like myself to get back into the game, when i never heard of a link or pendulum in yugioh before a month ago. Instead of putting someone down who isnt even ripping anyone off, why dont you do more constructive videos or better yet, lets see your "perfect" deck for under $15. So egotistical.
