      Desire being good is pretty debatable though, because it's basically a gamble of 1/4 your entire decks (unless you play more than 40 cards), no matter what deck you play it's kinda risky, unlike Prosperity or Extravagance

    Mystic Mine feels like it would be particularly hard to judge for a pokemon player. Pokemon has stadium cards (pretty much the same as field spells) and there is even one in current rotation that is essentially a big floodgate. It''s called path to the peak and turns off a lot of pokemons abilities, stopping certain decks entirely. But since in that game you draw so many more cards and see much more of your deck in a game you can afford to put a bunch of counter cards into your deck, making the floodgate mostly manageable. Also helps that in Pokemon you usually get a couple more turns to find your outs than you would in yugioh.

    • @amethonys2798
      @amethonys2798 8 місяців тому +4

      To be fair the downside of Pot of Desires IS most relevant in a game like Yu-Gi-Oh compared to other TCGs because of how much targetted searching there is so the "just pretend it's the bottom 10 cards of your deck you'd never see anyway" is accurate and why it still didn't see univeral play while it was at 3 copies and SwoSo was running it and Branded wasn't because if you lost your Fallen of Albaz it was just game over.
      If Pot of Desires was like a 0 or 1 mana draw 2 in say Hearthstone for effectively the same effect it would 100% see play in any aggro or midrange deck because you RARELY actually get cards outside of drawing them off the top.

    • @admontblanc
      @admontblanc 8 місяців тому

      It's not really negligible, but a lot of decks just don't care so it might seem that way. I'd Prosperity's cost is the most negligible because, even though you banish from the extra deck, you pick exactly which things you're gonna banish, and this allows even combo decks to play Pot of Prosperity. Desires is more like Extravagance in that some decks just don't care at all, and others would be literally gambling every time they activated it.

      @@manleyfgc7981 "In fact, d Shifter IS a bad card when the opponents deck plays around it." by this metric there is no good card in YGO because there are decks that basically can play around any conceivable card. The context he would need to know to evaluate Shifter is how reliant are meta decks on gy effects, cards being in the gy in general and the amount of effects that specifically need to send something to the gy to resolve properly (eg; cards that can't even activate under Shifter's effect). Your example is bad because the truth is that there have always been more meta decks that struggle under Shifter than those that can play under it or around it, even if you count all the formats from before that card was printed.

      Yugioh, partially due to having a great online client, has plenty and a large variety of content. On the other hand, Pokemon TCG just isn't as big or famous as the games and is pretty bland due to variety of factors. On major complaint by many contenr creators is that Pokemon TCG online tends to be neglected hard. They jave a very meh online client that is not supported by the main Japanese branch, unlike Konami who supports Master Duel.

    I'm surprised Azul didn't figure out that it didn't matter if D Shifter was dead on draw, as long as you have the chance to draw it in your opening hand turn 1, considering VIP Battle Pass was a Pokemon card that only did anything on your first turn, and was one of the best cards when it was legal up until a couple formats ago.

    Despite being banned, I still found Mystic Mine FAIR. Then again, I'm a rogue player that liked using the card, but didn't mind facing it either.
    Then again, they also forgot another use for Mystic Mine: UPPER CUT.
    I did this particularly with R10 Trains and Gren Maju Decks: OTK decks fielding relatively fewer (but BIG) monsters.
    They expect me to draw the out to their massive negates board, so I bait them and then Mystic Mine. Then I take my time killing them.
    I'd say, bring it to 1 to put the fear into the combo-heavy decks. Technically "2 copies" due to Terraforming.

    • @admontblanc
      @admontblanc 8 місяців тому +3

      Have you not realized that all the cards that get targeted as "unfair/must ban" are cards that make combo players inconvenienced? The same was true with Maxx "C", and with Master Duel I've been hearing the same crying about it that I heard in the TCG 7-9 years ago. These people are kind of mentally ill, imho, I play mostly Endymion, and I think Maxx "C" is fine because as long as it's legal people have more chances against my deck if they lose the die roll, and there's no need to just destroy my deck to make it "fair". Most combo players are complete degenerates without any respect for the game, they're all fine as long as they're having fun with their deck, but if you suggest that something like MM is fine they just need to play backrow outs immediately the cry rises: "and make my deck worse against everything else?"; why yes, that's how to actually make the game fair, to force every deck to either play more broad options or just admit that there will be match-ups you can't win. For my life I will never again concede an inch to these people who think they're entitled to both play the strongest decks and also not having to face hard cards.

    • @nemo0036
      @nemo0036 8 місяців тому +1

      @@admontblanc Yup I noticed.
      I remembered getting into a discussion with someone about it on a YT comments section, and you could read them progressively melting down when I expressed that cards like MM and Colossus are "fair".
      Somehow blames me of using them as a crutch as if they knew me. To which I simply replied "I'll adjust accordingly then, should they get affected in the banlist".
      With that being said, I find it laughable how the combo players (especially meta players) tremble in fear towards Mystic Mine.
      I played Zombie World Vampire Aggro back when Halq was unbanned. Could set up upwards of 7 interruptions on the opponent's turn including a possible Scythe lock. However, it cost a lot in LP to set up board, and my 1st turn was vulnerable to a well-timed Ash or a Nibiru. And yet, it never bothered me that I could lose. Then again, I have a rogue player mindset, which I believe is in the business of making "gods bleed" with hard-earned victories.
      ^Some of the same combo players called the deck trash, until I was able to set up board. Then they called me "toxic". Few times, I side decked Mystic Mine (basically smokescreening the deck to a Going 2nd Zombie World control with board breakers), and they rage quit.
      Yeah, I strongly agree to never giving an inch to those whiney combo/meta players. It is not my fault if their "unfair" boards costing 100's of $$$ gets broken by cards like MM.
      While I currently play sporadically, I seem to gravitate towards Umi Control lately. I was always a Mako fan even in the OG Series. Highlight has still been beating Kashtira at full power prior to being hit hard in the banlist last year.
      I'm also thinking of making the Plants Deck since I do have the deck cores back from when said archetypes were considered "low tier". This is the rare case where it topped at some point, and am glad since it seems like a tight-knit category.

    • @bsgfan1
      @bsgfan1 8 місяців тому +2

      I concur with this. They whine and bitch about how MM and Maxx C are “ToXiC” but aren’t ready to talk about how they’re running turn 1 floodgates before their opponent has even had a chance to draw. Technically, yes, cards like MM and Maxx C _are_ toxic, but only because they’re a response to an equally toxic meta. They really do expose the hypocrisy of the modern Yugioh player, especially Maxx C. True, having half my deck in my hand is an absurd advantage, but remember I only have that much advantage because my opponent special summoned out half of _their_ deck in the first place.
      I even had an argument with a dude at locals about it. His argument was that preventing your opponent from playing is usually a win con in other games (i.e. checkmate in chess), so turn 1 floodgates must be a valid play. I responded that none of those other games allow you to do that on turn 1 and that you had to work for them. Using his example, I told him the earliest possible checkmate in chess takes 7 turns and even then, only if your opponent plays extremely foolishly, hence the term “Fool’s Mate”. I told him a chess equivalent to Yugioh would be wiping out all his power pieces and putting my queen or rook in his corner before he’s moved a single piece. Dude admitted that would be grossly unfair after he had literally just extra linked me and put an Iblee on my board.

      It became a problem because the combo and meta decks started abusing it and just slamming this card down becomes a pace killer while you wait to draw the out. And most of the time said out is countered because the mine player has a solemn to protect or just has established other means to protect mine while either decking you out, or just accumulating resources to kill you.
      Basically instead of a card that only rogue decks played, it became a menace for everyone that even the best decks can abuse.
