Even a truly horrible card like Card Destruction is still playable, despite the fact that it can cause serious disadvantages to your opponent while you yourself aren't affected in any way because you can just set what you need. But drawing 2 is too OP. Konami logic.

[@Alfenheimer]

How is Card Destruction anything but disadvantage? If you're running a strong grave combo, yeah sure, it could be used, but you're also giving your opponent the same amount of cards and their own graveyard plays, while you're going minus one since CD doesn't replace itself.

The magic equivalent, I would argue, is most likely ancestral recall, which draws three cards for one blue Mana. At instant speed. For any player. Yes black lotus is more of a boogeyman, but just like ancestral recall it's banned everywhere except vintage (magic has multiple formats with different card pools).

[@coreygolphenee9633]

Yes but ancestral recall does have situations where you don't instantly chuck it out of your hand unlike pot of greed, lotus is the magic card equivalent of if you have it play it 99.9 percent of the time

[@ChouRaiyuki]

Was gonna say it's without a doubt that one since it's banned for the same reasons only being slightly less free; not only this but like pot of greed there are other cards with nerfed versions of that effect like Brainstorm or more fittingly, Ancestral Visions which like the original but with a four turn delay and no instant speed.

[@BearFreeZone]

The Pot of Generosity effect is extremely powerful in any circumstance where having a card in your deck is more beneficial than in your hand, such as being able to put specific cards into your graveyard from your deck, or special summoning directly from your deck. Haven't played YuGiOh in a while, so not sure how viable those types of decks are, but it can be extremely powerful in other card games.

Magic the Gathering player here Very interesting video. Pot of Greed is always one of the YuGiOh cards I DID know about, along with your usual other suspects like Exodia and Blue Eyes White Dragon. It's cool to see how YuGiOh's version of Magic's Ancestral Recall (1 mana draw 3 cards) was JUST as busted and had even more variations of it that were nerfed in some way (Even if Pot of Avarice on paper feels like build around upside)

[@mooncalf_4534]

Extremely late reply but Avarice's "downside" is bad because it's a really significant element of inconsistency. If you draw this turn 1, you have a 4 card hand because it's not playable. And it might not be next turn either depending on how things are going. Especially in the modern era of Yugioh, games only last a couple of turns and "slow" cards like that won't always get to proc. Wherein your +1 becomes a -1 by default. Which if you think about it, kind of evens the card out in a macro sense to not be a positive (or negative) really. You could build around it I guess and make a deck that can discard a ton of its own guys to the grave turn 1 in your initial combo but unless that style of deck is already meta, it's not at all worth the effort for 3/40 of your cards to be still-kind-of-situational +1s. Compared to Pot of Extravagance where some archetypes don't use their extra decks anyway really so you can slot it into that style of deck and it really is just +1 for free, pretty much. Pot of Prosperity is the other really strong one where you can banish 6 cards (your choice) from your extra deck then excavate the top 6 cards of your deck (look at them) and pick one to go to your hand. Which is so good because obviously you're sending the 6 cards you're almost certainly not going to use anyway (so no downside, almost) and get the best of 6 cards. Ridiculously good for searching for a specific out or combo starter because it's functionally a draw 6 at that point. In a really slow sealed format though I'd agree you could argue Pot of Avarice can sometimes be superior to Pot of Greed, even. Though it is worth noting especially with modern Yugioh that the graveyard is actually a super valuable location for your cards to be as a lot of cards have effects there and a lot of others can pull back from there, or proc effects using your grave as cost. Meanwhile cards in your deck are usually a lot harder to interact with because you have to either specifically search that card (pretty limited circumstance) or draw through your deck (obviously drawing is heavily repressed in Yugioh). So the adding back is only really valuable if 1. Your deck can search monsters from your deck extremely easily and pull them back to your hand/field whenever you need 'em 2. You're playing a deck/format where you have one or two super-threat boss monsters, and getting them back in rotation for a chance to draw and re-threaten is a win condition (low power sealed formats) 3. You're looking at a potential deck-out win condition game, where the +5 draws gives you a huge edge in decking out last (though obviously you draw 2 so you're only +3 on deck size, but you also get the value so that's nice)

In a latin american TCG game, Mitos y Leyendas, the issue of cards like this was solved by making the deck your health. You didn't have HP in there, but instead when attacked you discarded from your deck as many cards as the enemy damage was. Thus the game encouraged to never go below the 50 max cards allowed, and cards like these that allowed you to draw brought the disadvantage of reducing your deck, and thus your health

Actually, Magic's "Pot of Greed" is Ancestral Recall and it draws 3 cards for one Blue. And yes, its every bit as game-breaking as it sounds.

fun fact, pot of greed allows you to draw two card from the deck into your hand

[@orandobroom9261]

Best MTG example is A different piece of the Power 9. The card is "Ancestral Recall". It has a CMC (Converted Mana Cost or Cost to play) of 1 blue mana (Tap 1 Island land in play) Card effect: Draw 3 cards. Like PoG it has no downside. Hence why it is banned in all formats except Vintage where it is restricted to 1 copy, just like Black Lotus.

[@tonberry2670]

There's also the fact that theres no mana system like in MTG or PTCG. So, you're more likely to get the exact card you need

Black Lotus is the pod of greed of MTG. Ancestral Recall: "I'm I a Joke to you"...

[@mark1A100]

Recall does have a cost though even if minor. You need to have blue Mana available to cast it so technically it can be a dead draw.

[@ftgrimm1016]

@@mark1A100 99% of the time is not a Bad draw in all stages of the Game while Black Lotus being more powerful in early/mid it can be a more serious dead draw. Pot of greed is Also never a dead draw in 99% of situations. 1 mana draw 3 es "almost free" if You compare that most draw 2 nowdays in mtg are 3 or 4 mana with sometimes another condition. Very complicated to compare a mana system vs "do almost everything free everytime". (And yes I know YGO use cost and condition too) Is just more acurrate to compare 2 cards with similar effects that 2 with completely different ones specially with a different pay cost systems. PD: Sorry for My Bad English.

[@Karanthaneos]

Still think that Black Lotus is more like Pot of greed, because both are costless and help you accelerate game state far beyond. With a single land and a black lotus you start straight in turn 4 and set something very difficult for your opponent to counter, if you set something good enough there will not be a mid/late game, since you might be able to just win a couple turns after.

[@csmead209]

Ancestral Recall is just as unbalanced, and was part of the boon cycle. Of those 5 cards, 2 are definitely too powerful to be printed today, one is suspect of being too powerful, and one is too weak. In order of power: Ancestral Recall Dark Ritual (3 black Mana) Lightning Bolt (3 damage to any target, rarely reprinted, often imitated) Giant Growth (powers up a creature by 3 power and toughness) Healing Salve (gain 3 life or prevent the next 3 points of damage a target takes that turn.)

[@Reginald_Ritmo]

In recent sets, the item "acro bike" draws two cards and can be played multiple times per turn. It's not overpowered, however, because the threat posed by 2-3 prize attackers and the availability of search cards means having more options is often better than perfect simplicity.
