Instead of releasing QCR exclusives that inevitably lead to unaffordable cards, they should have all players spin a wheel and open 15 packs of a secret pack in the hopes of pulling one.

You know what'd be nice? All cards coming in all rarities so those who can't afford it can still have a really solid chance of pulling good cards and collectors can get their foils.

[@novaglacial9779]

So, basically the OCG distribution in packs.

That would be cool but that wont Happen sadly. Ppl Love to feel Special when they have stuff you cant afford and that is the Problem. I Love how Pokémon Always releases there stuff in 3 or more raritys normal wich is mostly a ultra the full Art Rainbow or some other Shit and an füll Art alt Art wich reaches the Attention of there collectors, konami should do that too

[@DarkusFireBlaze3582]

I feel like every other day I hear about Konami making YGO unplayable because either because they print all the playable cards in too high of a rarity or they refuse to ban problematic cards in topping decks. It's wild how people still play this game sometimes.

Konami knows what they're doing, they're a business driven primarily by profit, with a customer base so accustomed to getting shit on that they know we'll never leave

[@KevinTangYT]

Nah, they've been doing this for literal decades. This one has been the more egregious cash grab, almost to the point of those platinum collectibles, except this is actually a playable card. Until there's a mass exodus, Konami won't ever learn until it's too late and goodwill can't be won back.

[@aciesara5444]

As ​@@sweepinbelle said, they know. There is a reason why they treat TCG and OCG differently. It's never "they never learn anything," but "they learn everything and decided this is the best way to make money."

[@Entei9000]

It bugged the crap out of me 10+years ago that Solemn Warning went from a common to an Ultra rare when coming to the tcg, along with Pot of Duality going from Super to Secret rare, Rescue Rabbit going from Rare/Super rare to Secret rare, etc, simply because it made relatively easy cards to obtain into ones that would costs hundreds to obtain. Even though I don't play much anymore it saddens me to see that there's a similar trend going on to this day.

[@boumerxphajba]

now it's even worst people are happy went Konami deside to print some card in ultra that were commun in ocg lol.

[@iamabucket13]

The most frustrating part of all of this is that it tells us Konami TCG is not listening to our pleas to stop rarity gouging and print rarities like the OCG.

[@SpeezyOTB]

People would have to collectively vote with their wallets, and it just seems like some of these tactics are geared towards higher end spenders. Actually not even higher in spenders, it’s the secondary market that creates the scarcity of pulling these cards in the first place. Konomi is just serving to that.

[@Stonerman135]

Why would they listen if people keep buying their product and rarity gouging actually increases sales because people want to pull that one card and keep buying box after box?

[@illseeyaonthedarksideofthemoon]

You'd have to be stupid to believe a company will change their business model when people are still throwing money at them.

[@boumerxphajba]

In tcg there are people how would defend that and even argue that reprint card in lower rarity is bad. After rarity collection there was a lot of Yugituber that said that the game need to be expensive.

[@undeaddeer4920]

Now with the new blue eyes support... We kinda need it. WELL PLAYED KOMONEY (man they only piss me off these days)

[@Kaiyuni]

I bet this gets printed in the upcoming structure deck, but only after the biggest of Blue-Eyes and Dark Magician fans have coughed up for the card.

[@Wyrm7774]

@@Kaiyuniits not in the ocg structure deck (probably because its super cheap over there with its multiple rarities) so I doubt the tcg will be kind enough to put it in. If anything, they might reprint it as a secret in another set, or worse, shortprint it

The best part is this card was already leaked (with an animation) on MD and is going to be releasing this month at some point. August at the latest.

[@Psi10w]

Konami tried to do the "lord of the ring -the one ring" gimmick where there is only one version but instead they twisted our arms and said...one "rarites" with no lesser rarity for other printings...

[@Koalogy]

Except there are like 5 versions of The One Ring and the base rarity is still $130 and you need 4 copies if you are going to play it in a Modern deck where it is the most popular card in the format. This Magia stuff is almost better than The One Ring because at least it is not a format warping card that requires you to drop $500 on cards just to play any competent midrange/control strategy.

[@Psi10w]

@Koalogy exactly! they made multiple copies of one ring besides "that" one ring....but konami said nah no lesser rarities just this rarity

[@ConspoAlt]

i think its cool they print exclusive cards like this, HOWEVER they shouldnt do it to something thats even slightly playable. (10K dragon is a good example, no one will ever use that card realistically). Blue eyes is getting a lot of strong support in a structure deck soon, but most people wont be able to play one of their strongest monsters now

[@lemlem35]

i think another great example of doing it right is the Magicians of Bonds and Unity cards, they're not good at all but they have a ton of collectability

[@lemlem35]

(my bad, zeef totally mentions this lol)

[@spicymemes7458]

I'd rather just have another printing in SCR to go along with it. QCRs are going to be high end anyway. This doesn't please anybody

It's very funny that we got the structure deck announced today and you can probably make a meta strategy with 2-3 copies and some staples and MAYBE Twin Head, but the "best" version of that deck won't be meta because of *this* Edit: imagine if we got the Branded Structure announced and then we learned about the Byatials 2 weeks later and Sanctifice Dragon was unconditionally good and $500

[@trainerbrendan969]

my copium take is that it's actually accessible print is in the Structure Deck which, since I don't see it coming until around October/November it doesn't seem that far fetched... I think.

[@guitar242465]

I hope this rarity ends and doesnt get replaced with another one, cards were decent enough to pull as secret rares

[@pickyphysicsstudent201]

Still pissed that Japanese Ultimate Fusion wording prevents summoning magia with 3 Blue-eyes and a chaos ritual.

For $600 I can almost get the display for the Kaiba collection. I'm sorry as a Blue-Eyes fan, and player, who owns a playset of the Secret rares from the briefcase and opened them to play with them I find itg a bad investment to go for this card that doesn't have the same collectable value as the briefcase.

[@YGOPD]

[@condemnedd684]

INB4 the next tournament pack has QCR rarity cards which have this same bullshit, but now even harder to get ahold of since tournament packs

[@JeffroTV]

If you ask me, I think this is a good thing for the game. Making the good cards hard to obtain in the real world and in master duel should be the norm, no matter the rarity. This will be a great way to eventually get rid of meta builds and not discourage new, returning, and current players to have an individual and uniqueness to their decks. Also I could be biased because I always wish it was like the anime where only a small number of people had the good cards making the experience when one upping someone when you bought a pack with a decent card or two more surreal. This whole robotic hivemind mentally where everyone has the same deck is soul sucking.

Ahh, gotta love Konami. I dont know why people don't expect this sort of behavior from them and expect it to change. This was the company that got into pachinko in 2015, a year AFTER Japan started heavily regulating the game which was when a lot of companies like SNK started pulling out and back into games. Not Konami though, they did that instead of making new games in beloved franchises, and made money milkers like Duel Links, then investing tons of money into a failed project like Cross Duel. It's readily apparent that Konami is extremely anti-consumer, especially in the west, and decisions like this will continue to be made until players have been burned too many times and we hit a point of no return.
