@DistantCoder Enter the YCS and lose, you'll think you should've just played Genesys. Enter Genesys and lose, you'll think advanced wouldn't have been any better anyways. Genesys gives the best chance to win and the least regret if you do lose.

I'm torn and not sure what to do, need some guidance. I think the YCS Richmond format isn't great for Artmage. I have VIP status for the event (2 round byes) but I don't think the deck is good enough to compete post banlist against the new Burst Protocol decks. The deck is highkey REALLY good for Genesys format though, so I'm debating not using my VIP for the main event and instead playing the Genesys event. UGH Idk what to do man... Maybe I keep cooking and find a way to make the deck work for advanced... I'm just so torn and lost man, someone knock some sense into me please (I refuse to play a deck other than Artmage rn).

@bigrob You ever go through a drive-thru for food, then just eat in a parking lot nearby? Same thing.

You guys ever get home and just sit in your car for like 30 mins before going inside? Just pure bliss bro I swear.

@TheFemcelMagnet @MBTYuGiOh I think only for events of certain tiers. I assume regionals and up

@MBTYuGiOh Doesn't finals have no time limit?

Updates from locals: Today was the first event with the new time rules. Everything went well until finals, when these two became the first-ever recipients of a double loss at Token. The whole store stood up and clapped when neither of them scooped.

@Gekiphy @House_of_Champs Much more of a collectible game when there's a good anime airing alongside it. I remember wanting to collect all the heroes when GX was live. They had something going with the XYZ numbers too for a bit. Need a good anime soon

@House_of_Champs @CBran1995 Konami needs to actually implement good altering rarities. Like the fact that they very rarely do alternate arts and they aren't just standard practice for sets is so baffling.

Any time you hear "Yu-Gi-Oh just isnt selling because of the Economy!" You can send them this picture of what's happening to every other TCG lmao

@LuneShimmers @statesminds @House_of_Champs But the thread is about why other games sell and Yugioh doesn't. Magic is trending more collectible, Pokémon is collectible, Yugioh is competitive. People don't want fluff from packs in competitive games. But a fan of Spiderman will buy play boosters for the art and references.

@LuneShimmers @statesminds @House_of_Champs Yep, that was said. Highly collectible, highly played. I wouldn't use Vivi to argue though. Standard has been dying for years now. It's a struggle to even find standard within 100 miles anytime RCQ season is another format. UB is way more casual and collectible than playable.

@statesminds @House_of_Champs Pokémon collectors don't play with their cards whereas Magic players collect full arts, UBs, alternates, etc to put them in a commander deck to show off. Yugioh though, the value of collecting is going down slowly but surely. So packs aren't really worth it for a chase card.

@statesminds @House_of_Champs Magic is in an odd place right now. Highly collectible, highly played (though mostly casually). So it hits both markets for sure. It's just trending collectible with UB releasing as often as it does. But different kind of collecting than Pokémon for sure.

@House_of_Champs Definitely have some work to do for sealed product. I think they could ditch mega packs and reprint staples at lower rarities in their main sets, for example. Include higher end product like the Albaz decks they're releasing. Like the legendary decks they've done before, etc.

@CBran1995 Yugioh was collector driven until qcrs destroyed starlights and Konami is too head up its ass to reverse course. The battles on the shelves attempt 2 new collector things both flopping (emblem and chibi)

@thelilosantos Oh there's so much context you're missing for some of these then! But thanks! A lot of effort, but the girls definitely play now!

@CBran1995 Dude these are incredible! If I played MTG I'd use these! Granted I've only read the first fourth wing book so I don't know what happens at the end of the series! But these look awesome!

In lieu of Hasbro mentioning romantasy universes beyond, I thought it appropriate to shar a project I worked on earlier this year. To get some friends' wives and daughters back into Magic (they've played before), I created a fully custom proxy deck using the Fourth Wing IP.

In addition to the #FourthWing custom proxy deck I made them, I'm now working on a custom #ACOTAR proxy deck as well! Here's the start, though I have so much to go. This one will have two options as the commander, but still keeping 5-color to add as many aspects from the series.

Also, some of the cards have typos or missing info (I forgot Legendary on the Empyrean and forgot a space in General Sorrengail's effect). They're being fixed and reprinted as we find them!
