I love how when you buy a pack of Pokemon cards, you get a game code that works for their online game. Yet, Konami hasn't thought of copying that idea and implementing it for Master Duel.
That's literally what the 8-digit codes on the bottom right of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards are for, they invented the idea and now just refuse to implement it anymore because modern Pachinkomoney just isn't on the same level as the people who created Symphony of the Night and Metal Gear Solid.
Hope we will have those Reptile Support (Repitilianne, Vennominaga, Ogdoatic) for the year of the Snake Rope the chronicle anime gives us video games for the arch types matching the best style for each one (rgs, hack n slash, shooter...) So many things
In my humble opinion, Konami needs to make changes: * Different rarities for good cards it's needed, it's not possible to have cards reach $100+ and be staples on the meta this only promotes a game of the rich get richer in the majority of cases. * If they don't want to make changes to the rarity system, they should be able to allow to play Asian English or even OCG cards if you have a full-sleeved deck (which is most common) * We need a cheaper game, comparisons are odious, but it's not possible to waste $1000+ in a top deck when with 10% of that you can buy a Pokemon TCG Deck. (I'm thinking of moving to Pokemon NGL) * Catch up with the OCG. It's not good to have a card like the new XYZ cards nine months later or the Blue-Eyes Structure Deck two months later than expected. * Pricing is really hard, but I think a good choice is to create a completely new rarity that can only be given in tournaments and make some of the good cards in that rarity as prizes, so if they want, they can sell those cards to collectors.
they could 100% give out special rarity cards. The issue with yugioh rarity is how locked in to a design you are for the specific cards. literally all you can do is add a holo effect and change text color. the color of the card HAS to be specfic, which doesn't really allow for extended arts or anything special. Alt art is it.
they could keep an intermediate level of rarity, between secret and the deluxe rarity, that have the same pool and ratio as the quarter century had, that mean that every ultra and secret rare also have a print in this intermediate rarity that you can found in 1 on 2-3 boxes. or even 1 for each boxes. On top of that you would have the deluxe rarity for a small pool of impactful card available in other rarity (+ a reprint like they did with mirrorjade in starlight). That way, you would be able to flex with a shinier version of a card you play, without having to sell a liver to play the top rarity print. that would also lower the price of some ultra or secret rare as those would be "easily available" at higher rarity and Yu-Gi-Oh player love shiny cards
Whoever wins worlds should get a custom alternate art with their favorite ace monster from the yugioh anime or the new Yu-Gi-Oh Konami shorts of them with that monster
Despite the adult jokes everyone would make, I hope 2025 is when we get Xxx-Sabers. Luna's upcoming deck is proof that there's more 5Ds nostalgia than printing the 849668328533th Blackwing card.
can't wait to come back by the end of the year to hear thta this year was the same or worse than last year... for sure the prizes will be , 2 NINTENDO SWITCH
1st we should bump down rarities in initial boxes like all secret rares into ultras and ultras into supers and suoers into commons. All chase cards should be ultra or a rarity bump like starlight. Collectors rare should only be available to those at sneek peeks. I also think we print more legacy support as well as print decks that haven't been printed yet or that we saw in the anime and Manga twice a yr. The less mainstream decks like toons and oricalcos and insects, as well as many other decks, should get love.
They should start adding price Support called a tournament rare card put a symbol on front of the card like they did with the 25th anniversary and only release them to people that do good in the tournaments give him like a playset or something
I actually love premiere events. premiere cards are trash, that's true, but winning a playmat feels good. also promotes deck building on the spot and rules knowledge which is very cool challenge for me
Tbh ycs winner’s should get like 2-3 booster boxes of a current set thats out or just a like supply of tcg products like sleeevs decks boxes playmats etc now card shops are a little different on prizes so it very pending
Make cards of new archetypes and sets easier to get and release reprint sets of rarity upgrades. This would motivate players to actually buy boxes and increase your buyer base vs just whales buying boxes. You never want most of your business coming from the same source of people because if they drop off you lose your consistent revenue.
At the end of the day it’s economics 101, don’t give enough value in booster boxes then players won’t buy much of it. You’re heavily relying on whales/vendors to carry the demand by buying and then reselling. Increase the value you provide to players in game enjoyment and cards that are not only competitive but enjoyable to build/play translates to providing more value to a Yugioh player, then you increase your buyer base that’s not scoped to a smaller slice of the pie of buyers. It’s not a hard concept Konami
This might be the year i come back to Yugioh semi-competitvely. Pokémon is cool and all, but i feel the toxic side of Pokémon coming and honestly I'm not for it.
What if people who won tournaments get OCG cards early? I feel like this could encourage players real easily. I'm just worried that if this happens we are repeating the Crush Card Virus debacle all over again.
OCG structure of booster boxes would have me buying boxes. We need meta cards in obtainable raties period. I want to buy boxes but I'm not going to pay 90 dollars for a box and then still have to spend 600 dollars on on the hand traps I didn''t even pull 1 copy of. Its so bad right now that I don't really even buy yu gi oh singles or sealed unless its a rarity collection. I show up to yu gi oh locals, buy one piece packs, then go and play yu gi oh lol... Also as a Mimighoul player I agree, aint no one excited to open a SCR mimighoul charm get that shi out of here xD
I wish they'd give better support for Dark magician and Red eyes, and of course, blue eyes. Alt arts are cool for collecting, but for game , not so much. I mean, just trying to get a deck moderately viable for play already has a pretty steep price. Which is kinda dumb. Limiting people's ability to play good decks or learn good decks. But if you're hopeful (big dawg) maybe I'll wait... We'll see I guess
I've actually been looking into fixing mine. I noticed a cyber dragon deck came out in Japan hat is straight fire, but they haven't released it in English yet. Which is friggin lame in my opinion. But yeah. Aren't we supposedly getting machine/dragon support in this new set?. I don't remember
If Konami making a really sick Anime with different lores, story's and 🤌🏻 phenomenal animation I think the TCG would get so much more player who can play with they "mommy's" 😂 Konami is making more money and could give away good prices. Problem solved, you're welcome ❤🎉😂
I honestly wish they'd make the anime actually resemble the friggin game. Would make for a much better story. But I'm probably in the minority on that one

we used to be able to do it on the gameboy damnit!

The scheduled reprint sets like the QC run but with the standard rarities and the OCG distribution style
That guy with the point system idea - was indeed - cooking.
Yeah I agree that’s a dope Idea!!
Hope we will have those Reptile Support (Repitilianne, Vennominaga, Ogdoatic) for the year of the Snake
Rope the chronicle anime gives us video games for the arch types matching the best style for each one (rgs, hack n slash, shooter...)

Short prints and make every card have a chance to be holographic. Who doesn't want a holographic petite moth
And me who gonna take 4 display...
Also, Alliance insight is the last set for Quarter Century Secret Rares.
Cali likes hisoka confirmed
Similar to locals giving out OTS packs with playable cards at ultimate rarity I think a YCS should give out like Alt arts + Ultimate rare 🤷♂️
they could 100% give out special rarity cards.

I don't think Konami should weasel around a dead man's wish
A case of the latest set would be super cool for prizes
they could keep an intermediate level of rarity, between secret and the deluxe rarity, that have the same pool and ratio as the quarter century had, that mean that every ultra and secret rare also have a print in this intermediate rarity that you can found in 1 on 2-3 boxes. or even 1 for each boxes.

Whoever wins worlds should get a custom alternate art with their favorite ace monster from the yugioh anime or the new Yu-Gi-Oh Konami shorts of them with that monster
The next part of DSOD is Duel Links, teorically speaken, can make a crossover anime of duel links
Imma be running to the Gundam TCG like Konami is toxic (which it is)
Despite the adult jokes everyone would make, I hope 2025 is when we get Xxx-Sabers.
Luna's upcoming deck is proof that there's more 5Ds nostalgia than printing the 849668328533th Blackwing card.
I hope once this Quarter Century Holocaust ends, we get the OCG rarity system. One Piece is quickly catching up and we need to keep out number 3 spot.
Allow the winner to customize a card for an archetype
Thoughts for Prizes: Ace monster/ card (that isn't a staple, maybe) in a starlight style/rarity with that event stamped on the card.
can't wait to come back by the end of the year to hear thta this year was the same or worse than last year...
for sure the prizes will be , 2 NINTENDO SWITCH
We get cash plus booster boxes/packs in the Pokémon TCG for making top cut in Regionals. Komoney needs to step their prize game up a good amount
Always love the intros❤
1st we should bump down rarities in initial boxes like all secret rares into ultras and ultras into supers and suoers into commons. All chase cards should be ultra or a rarity bump like starlight. Collectors rare should only be available to those at sneek peeks.

I actually love premiere events. premiere cards are trash, that's true, but winning a playmat feels good. also promotes deck building on the spot and rules knowledge which is very cool challenge for me
I haven't been this early since last night in bed.
Huh
Konami should really just give out a couple EXPENSIVE rarity card prints. How expensive is entirely dependent on them.
Don't think there is anything Cali has said so far that I disagree with.
If a person wants to get into a TCG in 2025 it's 90% going to be pokemon. Yugioh is too expensive in my honest opinion
And bad too, meta is such a L
“Unc lookin out for ya” 😂🤣😭
Giant Cards as prizes please
Cali, use your konami contacts and get that dude at 3:00 or 3:05 into konami ygo marketing
That dude cooked with the point suggestion!
Tbh ycs winner’s should get like 2-3 booster boxes of a current set thats out or just a like supply of tcg products like sleeevs decks boxes playmats etc now card shops are a little different on prizes so it very pending

9:05 gapping the bridge?

My guy cooking with the Labyrinth anime 😂
This might be the year i come back to Yugioh semi-competitvely. Pokémon is cool and all, but i feel the toxic side of Pokémon coming and honestly I'm not for it.

King Cali up in that castle all day.
It’s insane how it took for America to fall apart for YGO to get good
Complete sets or specific cards in winners rarity or something
I think full art cards would be amazing for the game in 2025
Yeah lets get Every ocg super transform into secret rare short print
I didnt know Future made Yugioh content
OCG structure of booster boxes would have me buying boxes.
We need meta cards in obtainable raties period.
I want to buy boxes but I'm not going to pay 90 dollars for a box and then still have to spend 600 dollars on on the hand traps I didn''t even pull 1 copy of.

Also as a Mimighoul player I agree, aint no one excited to open a SCR mimighoul charm get that shi out of here xD
Tht was me who mentioned the switch 2 lol 😂
They could make more structure decks, since we didn’t get any in 2024
It's sad when a card game that's less then 3 years old has better prizes then a card game that is as old as ancient Egypt
for the ycs pize support for 1st place should be a new car lol 😂😂
Alternate art or special tournament rarity
I wish they'd give better support for Dark magician and Red eyes, and of course, blue eyes. Alt arts are cool for collecting, but for game , not so much. I mean, just trying to get a deck moderately viable for play already has a pretty steep price. Which is kinda dumb. Limiting people's ability to play good decks or learn good decks. But if you're hopeful (big dawg) maybe I'll wait... We'll see I guess
Reduce the secret, ultra, and super rare quantity and bring rares back in the main sets.
Bring back Ghost and Pharaonic Rares!
Does anyone have good cyber dragon deck
I've actually been looking into fixing mine. I noticed a cyber dragon deck came out in Japan hat is straight fire, but they haven't released it in English yet. Which is friggin lame in my opinion. But yeah. Aren't we supposedly getting machine/dragon support in this new set?. I don't remember
I didn t play yugioh for like 5 or 6 years and i came back few weeks ago so i don t know a lot about new cards
Why no gx? I want more sacred beast support :')
Let the winning player design a few cards for them to put into the real Yu-Gi-Oh!
Yesssssssd yesssssssssss yessssssssss I want labrynth anime
Rituals in extra deck huh huh huh 😂
They should give you a max rarity of your entire deck if you get first place. 😂
Does this mean Konami will start printing Half Century Rare this year?
I want new dragunity cards
More Jurrac support 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
Only 25 seconds into the video...and we got a "big dawg"... 😂... Bruh
bring back uds belts they are 😘
Cali 10:19 isnt your wife watching this?
They only care for their players when they are only losing a lot people, hopefully the komoney are not to dumb enough act while there are still time.
Give winner prize money please
Money
Dooky in Bag
First😮
nice! first answer to first
Making fun of the fact that you get a whole ass game system as a prize is crazy
If Konami making a really sick Anime with different lores, story's and 🤌🏻 phenomenal animation I think the TCG would get so much more player who can play with they "mommy's" 😂
Konami is making more money and could give away good prices.
Problem solved, you're welcome ❤🎉😂
I honestly wish they'd make the anime actually resemble the friggin game. Would make for a much better story. But I'm probably in the minority on that one
