Ultimate CED is like $10-$60 and I grabbed a good condition for $15. Ultra BLS was $10 for a good condition.

The negates are cool, but this card probably isn’t worth the effort it takes to summon in a Blue Eyes deck… yet. There’s a Blue Eyes structure deck coming out soon in the OCG. The new cards haven’t been revealed yet but I really hope they don’t lean into Magia as a centerpiece for the new support. As of right now, Magia is more of a boss for Dogmatika than it is for Blue Eyes. For the sake of my wallet, I hope it stays that way.

As someone who is an on-off yugioh player the reasons to sell all my cards and quit yugioh for good outweigh the reasons to stay by a long shot. Whenever I get back into the game I basically pay a 300€ re-entry fee to have a somewhat competitive deck for a YCS. It's not fun if it's more about money than the actual game itself.

Nexus of Fate was actually deceptively accessible. The supply of Nexus of Fates was higher than basically every other card in the set it was from because, while it was only printed in the first print run it was guaranteed in every box outside of the packs. The chance of getting a specific mythic in a given box for magic is about 26% so in order for Nexus of Fate to just match that there would have to be 3x as many boxes without Nexus of Fate as the amount with it. And like most gaming products the majority are sold near the release or within the first month. Basically, Nexus of Fate's price was driven by its uselessness as a game piece and the perception that it was a rare promotional card, not the actual scarcity of the game piece relative to the other mythics from its set. Still, I think the biggest mistake is how bad it feels to think about buying a booster pack while knowing you have a 0% chance of pulling the best card from the set. It's just a weird idea.

[@mitchsirois606]

The best part of Nexus of Fate's story, is how awful Wizard's quality control over card stock was. Foils pringle so much it's only allowed to be played in decks with all foils or none at all, creating the most amusing footage of high level event coverage where basic lands with "Nexus of Fate" scribbled onto them were handed out by judges as proxies. Of course, most of the footage has been taken down, but the internet never forgets.

Me hearing how magia is so expensive and then staring at the three copies I pulled from my box in OCG. Also hearing how that new xyz worm is "competitive" and then watching pullers complaining about seeing it for the 11th time in a crate. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Geez TCG shafting ya'll hard.

[@ThEmEsSiAh187-CFGeorge]

The fact that in 6+ cases not one was found is insane

[@anthonyholder1119]

It's an Omni negate that isn't once per turn plus probably if you know how to get this out easily it hard to deal with

When the Revenge is Terminal

[@Ando1428]

That bonds card isnt bad. In most spell caster decks especially one using spell counters getting 25 cards in the graveyard isnt hard.

[@MasterQuestMaster]

You’re acting like this card is the first playable mechanically unique artificially scarce card in Yugioh. Do you remember stuff like Minerva Xyz, Giant Hand and Crush Card Virus?

[@ShiningJudgment666]

Also Cyber-Stein.

Short printing and intentionally making it ONLY QCSR, combined with people selling it for that much and dumber people buying it for that much.

[@carpedm9846]

Imma be charitable and say they didnt think of it being any playable. Sure, its a negate, but 100K dragon is a 100K beatstick that essentially reads "win the game".

[@PvPFan22]

you know... unless there is 100k Dragons biggest fear: a defense position monster, or sakuretsu armor or any kind of destroy effect or probably the biggest one: Magical cylinder

"Boomer nostalgia bait" triggered me way more than it should have 😅
