Collectors can cry about QCRs being widely available. I'm sick of them being mostly responsible for the TCG prices being as high as they are.
It’s nuts that people care as much about shiny cardboard as they do, if a card is only available in 1 rarity that’s what we should be upset about.
Hey, I'm one of those collectors. I started playing Yugioh around 2019. I love the game so much I got almost all the starlight out there for my deck and binder. Appo, I:P, Charmers, you name it! Because of the QCR that got released a year ago my collection lost round 20k of value.
@@ParisHidden Genuinely can't tell after reading this if you expected me to feel bad for you.
Don't be. It was my mistake thinking that putting money into nice cards in a game I love was a good idea. Next time I'm just going to buy drugs.
I can see why some would hate them, but Gold Rares are my favorite. The way the artwork pops out a little because of the gold is awesome.
They have always had really bad errors though. Especially the borders I find! 😂
@@evan937I guess I've been lucky enough to have the few I have in my collection without any errors!
The Pegasus gold Secret rares look better, the new ones are awful.
But Prismatic Gold Secret is.....have you ever seen The Winged Dragon of Ra Gold Prismatic Secret?...it is glorious.
The older gold rare were way better. Both the haunted mine era gold rares and the premium gold secret gold rares looked nicer
@@evan937I bought a Scrap Chimera for my Dinosaur deck, getting the MGED edition because it's literally 20x cheaper, and somehow the thick border bit came off and went under the text box during printing.
Absolutely mystifying how they could let that through quality control.
Ill play with commons all day. If they play, they play.
Ghost rare and OG ultimate rare are pretty hard to beat. OG secret rares were on a different level too
Ultimate Rares are my favourite rarity. Searching ultimate Branded Fusion with ultimate Thrust is just satisfying
Fully agree. OTS Ultis are the best rarity imo. For me it's OTS Ulti -> Platinum Secret -> Secret -> everything else that still has a "clean" rest of the card -> all the stuff that covers the whole card in glitter puke.
Premium gold rares are my personal favourite. I don't know why, but I think they are cool
Love the premium gold rares. Imo the premium gold rares look so much cleaner than the old gold rare.
I think they are cool but the downside is how the guilding can chip off
tbh they prob look the best framed from a non yugioh player just walking by it
Love the video! BUT I think you missed 1 rarity.....
BATTLE PACK BLACK RARES! Everyone forgot about those
@@galzo yup they are so hard to tell they exist except by feel. They were very stupid imo 🤣
there's actually more than just black. other sets and promos have different colors for the name.
Secret rares & Ultimate rares are my favorite. Such nice rarities. Can't complain about Starlight as well.
I love my Secret Blue-Eyes but once I saw a Starlight Ecclessia on ebay that one time I was sold XD.
My gripe with the first run of ultimate rares was the cards were so much thinner than other cards they’d fold and crease super easily.
I am in a vast minority who likes the look and texture of a Gold UR. I really like when they do things with the border colors, and I also think the gold outlines on the artwork itself is kinda cool.
9:36 is singlehandedly my favorite rarity in the game, I will always love NKKT Platinum Rares~
My favorites were the ghost rare and surprisingly platinum. It was simple but elegant.
Hot take, I think the Max Gold rares look fine, the embossing on the cards looks cool. My favorite rarity is Starlight rare, especially on Synchros. Also, you forgot about Prismatic Ultimate Rares from the Rarity Collection lol
I love the Ghost rarity. I remember I went to a pre-release for the first Synchro sets, and a friend of mine at the time let me jump ahead of him in line. I pulled two 1st edition Stardust Dragons (one was Ultra Rare, the other was Ghost Rare) and I remember trading off the Ultra Rare one for a Mirror Force or Solemn Judgment at the time because I needed it for one of my decks. I still have the Ghost rare one double sleeved and in my old card box somewhere.
At least thanks to Max Gold Rares we got double sleeving legal in TCG.
My personal favorite of all time are DUSA Ultras, then Prismatic (Game Boy mainly but also Tin is nice) Secrets. I really appreciate how the art pops on top of the foiling.
I was initially a Ulti/Ghost (the old ones) stan, but maintenance made me hate them since they attract scratches like a magnet and i had to get 6 copies of some cards (a set in the binder, a set in a deck box)
About Golds, i liked the Upper Deck ones the most.
Finally about current secret, i heard one person describing them as being polished with a sand paper sideways and it's been 8 years i haven't forgot.
I like secret rares, prismatic collector rares and QCR
Also, something you are missing, the movie packs contained secret rares of Obelisk the Tormentor and Slifer The Sky Dragon, I know this because I have one copy of each of tnose cards in those rarities, if you want the set codes, here they are
- Slifer the Sky Dragon - MVP1-ENS57 - Secret Rare
- Obelisk the Tormentor - MVPC-EN001 - Gold Secret Rare
I think you missed a rarity, Ultra/secret Pharaoh's rare. I only mention it because MAMA boxes got me back into collecting & I got back to back ultra Pharaoh's rares.
Ultimate / Ghost Rare are my favourite rarity types. They look astonishing.
back in 2008 someone at my locals pulled a Ghost Rare Stardust Dragon, that card looked so good and since then ghost rares are my favorite (especially on synchro cards)
My favorite is the the starlight rare bc I bought only 4 booster packs and I pull most expensive card called triplets tactic talents! My hands was shaking and I never had pulled something that expansive. Also I love ghost rare too but never pull from any sets so I buy it card itself.
You should mention rarity from Rush Duel too,especially Over Rush Rare,Gold Rush Rare,and Maximum Summon Over Rush Rare
I have a UR Red eyes darkness metal dragon from Duelist saga and I always wondered why it had that prismatic secret rare style lines on the foil and now I know lol thank you
Ghost Rares and old school ultimate rares are the best.
Mine are ultra rares. It has some foil and gold lettering. You can still see what's on the card and it has a higher availability, which means you while deck can be ultra rare in some cases. I still use ultra runick instead of their secret counter part for exactly that reason
Yooo thats my memory of an adversery and foolish
Call me crazy I actually really like the gold rares. Depending on lighting, the gold bordering within the cars art really shines, and in other lighting the rest of the gold also shines!
You missed the one with the foil ankh symbols and the ten thousand rare
Gotta be og ultra rare for me. Feels like the classiest rarity, and always carries that connection of Lob's stacked ultra rare lineup for me. Not to mention starter deck promos which were many kids first boss monster
amazing video.... like you Galzo I love og secrets rares but Ghost rares and Starlight rares are so cooool hopefully I'll be lucky one day too pull a starlight one day.
Keep up the good work galzo
QCR’s also feel cheaper to the touch with very small differences with the foiling pattern
One of my favorite cards is black rose dragon and my favorite rarity for that one is the max gold rare, it just looks so cool
You forgot the Duelist League Rare, promo cards of local tourneys with red/purple/blue/green lettering (and in last sets also azure and pink)
I'm just proud to own a ghost rare crystal clear wing, looking forward to add a crystal wing too. They just look too beautiful
Honestly, the higher rarities only annoy me if a card I want is ONLY available that way. Makes the likelihood of the card costing a pretty penny a lot higher
Great vid, hope this gets lots of views since it's not content that only appeals to Branded players.
The first wave of qcsr are a 10/10. Pot of greed collection also has that version of qcsr and blue eyes from the kaiba suitecase
there's a subtle black stamped lettering for battle pack rare's too!
My favorite will always be Secret Rare
My favorites are dependent on the artwork. For older ones like foolish burial or enemy controller I like secrets the most but for more modern cards I like ultras the most because you can just see the fine details much better
My favorite Rarity is actually Prismatic Collectors Rare, the OG Collectors rare is obviously more premium because they are harder to get but I just love the way the Prismatics look. Shout-out to Ghost Rares because I actually own the Ghost Rare Sunlight Wolf
I've a big fan of collectors rare ever since I got my hands on some in the rarity collection. Seeing as how alt art ghost ogre is in RA02, I will have to scout out a playset of them in prismatic collectors rare (it's my favourite yugioh card, don't judge me) now that I'm seeing it actually looks like the OCG collectors rare. Ultimate rares are close in appeal as well, since the texturing patterns look quite cool.
Forgot the prismatic ultimate rare from rarity collection.
You should do a video for NA vs EU print cards! You already have a mix of both so shouldn't be too difficult. The Ultimate rares are completely different for both prints.
Completely agree. NA cards make dark artworks a bit lighter with more detail, while on lighter artworks feel like you left your cards in the sun. The opposite is for EU cards making lighter artworks way more colorful but losing details on dark artworks.
If it weren't for the different bending (trouble for tournaments) as well as text font on the effect box making a mix look weird, i would have all my decks mixed depending exclusively on individual card art.
About Ultis, I love EU print being more textured, and comparing BraFu, Fusion Destiny and Big Welcome to their NA print, they latter seem to me like regular Ultras. On the other hand OCG Ultis are thicker, with more vibrant colors and they feel like "better cardboard" in my hand (I can't explain it better)
@@babrad thats because ocg DOES use thicker cardboard for all their cards
I pulled a Junk Warrior QCSR recently from maze of millennia. They look so amazing! 😍 💯
Im in the minority but I really liked the max gold ultra rares, that being said I was pretty lucky with them and didnt get any of really bad quality ones which I think soured people. I pulled 3 gold blue eyes in the first max gold each of them looked clean af
People disliking QCR cards because it makes them too available are just gatekeeping snobs, in my opinion.
all of them are so cool, but nothing will ever beat the ghost rare
Cant wait for 100th Golden Shiny the Second Coming-Second Reprint, Golden Diamond with Star glitter, dip it, make it cry, burn it and let it swim - Rarity that oughta have a nice resell value🤑🤑🤑🤑
1:16 This is incorrect. There were also black colored rare text way back in the day that I believe came from Duel Terminal? Something like that. But yes, different colored rare text is old hat.
I honestly love the gold rare that Trish has.. I know it's very hated but to me it looks super nice
I bought it and trust me it looks Amazing. Idk how people hating it and never even knew people hated it until this video. The gold trim on the art is amazing on monsters you like. Anytime I see them cheap I always buy them, thank God people don't like them cause it makes it cheaper for me to buy.
@@RicePho exactly, not many people buying it makes it cheaper. Like the Apollousa alternate art I got from the MAGO in 2020. It's so fucking gorgeous with the gold borders
@@nael_luna DUDE, I was about to say the same thing in the first comment that I got Apollousa alternate art gold trim for 5 CAD dollars, I didn't remember how to spell her name so I didn't say it earlier. Ya, holy does the art look WAY better with her gold Trim. I got Red-Eyes Darkness dragon alt art in gold trim and even Cyber DRagon infinity. I'm super confused when the video said it "raises the border making it hard to protect the card with sleeves". I never had that issue.
Secret and parallel secret are my favs, we need more variations 😩
Maybe I missed it, but which rarity caused the Illegal game state? It looked like Gold Rare, but nothing screamed "illegal" about the discription
I believe it's the Hobby League cards. The extra, plastic-y layer makes them noticeably thicker and stiffer than normal cards, even in sleeves
Mine use to just be ultra rares. I enjoyed that you could see the art and name better then secret rares, but after getting my hands on qcrs im addicted.
Personally I love premium gold rares. I can see why players have issues with them, but they look fantastic in my binder, and that's what I care about.
QCRs are perfect honestly. A more affordable starlight, and I think the stamp is ugly enough to make starlights a chase still.
Ultimate and collector rarities are just so nice
I gotta shout out Ultimate Rares. On some cards (Quarter Century Chronicle's Dark Hole and Superpoly), those reliefs are incredibly sexy
Personally all i care about is for multi rarity (IN THE SAME SET) to be back for TCG. Its completely normal in the OCG. The lack of multi rarity is why the entry cost for this game is so high. And why its such a hard sell to invite new people into
do you think playing ghost ogre is worth it... i been thinking about finally buying maybe 2 ashs they are cheap asf
I like Gold Ultras. They're just nice looking to me, despite the misprints.
Do you have the super rare Hebrew Yugioh cards that came out in 2008? No one can track them
What about Pharao’s rarity, the one in MAMA and KICO, i think the only sets where you can get them
OTS Ultimates are the BEST rarity. The beautiful spiral behind my Spright Blue, and the really nice background on the two Ultis I’ve pulled before (Aluber and Chaos angel). The ultis with a big background are the best though, like Spright Blue and Big Welcome Labrynth. Ultis like Chaos Angel are nice, but since the texturing is on the background, Chaos Angel looks a bit more boring than other Ultis.
The gold ultras are actually known as premium gold rares as far as I'm aware, just a small correction.
QCRs were cool when they first came out with the legendary collection but as soon as the second wave hit and there were 25 of them in every set after, they just flooded the market and have already overstayed their welcome. Also is annoying that if a previous starlight card gets a QCR reprint it tanks the starlight price… I would much rather they bring back just 5 starlight’s in a set. In a perfect world they would bring back Ghost Rares to core sets!!
Tbh, I've never heard anyone complain about the newer gold rare cards. If anything they looked clean af. It's the older gold rares people didn't like along with platinum rares
You forgot the rainbow prismatic secret rare. Only 1 card was ever printed in that rarity in the OCG, but instead of the regular silver chromatic name, the name has all the rainbow colors at all angles. The card isn't too expensive either, so if you want something cool and unique to show your friends, it's like 50€ or less I think.
This was really helpful, and yes all the gold card are the worst
Ultimate rares most hated?! That is the best looking rarity, easily imo. Also every region Ive been in so far, people coveted ultimates. Ultimate rares are the best rarity that makes the art work pop the most without obscurring it or skewing it with so much glitter. Now I dont like the new ultimate rares in the rarity collection as they have a fake plastic feel but ots ones cant be beat.
Still using my dusa ultra dark laws. I was they would bring that rarity back
Bring back original European ultra rare , for those who don't know what that means , the ultra rare cards use to be slightly thicker cards , and no so bendable, the card use to feel stronger then ultimate or secret rare cards , they just feel different in hand , it's like holding iPhone in one hand and xiaomi in other , one just feels better stronger firmer ....then other
My favorite are the Asian Ultimates, and my leasts are the Secrets.
I will be honest if I can trade a Secret for a Prismatic or an Ultra I will in a heartbeat since Prismatics show off the monster art more and have less glitter splashed around and Ultras are simply crystal clear.
Loss of money? Maybe, but I legitimately do not give a shit.
I like the ultimate rares from the first ocg sets
I stand by my opinion that ultimate rares are the best rares out of any card game
What about exclusive OCG rarities? I've heard of parallel rare
Prismatic Collector’s Rare🤩
Starlight rare 🤢
Duelist Saga Ultra is so random but so cool
Common: generous budget friendly stuff.
Silver: Interesting. I barely see any other franchise with foil name cards.
Super: generic holographic artwork.
Ultra: GOLDEN NAMES, BUDDY BOY! ⭐
Secret: platinum name with saturated sparkles. Crazy stuff.
Prismatic ulti is 🔥
Nobody is ever going to convince me the Premium Gold Ultra Rare cards aren't cool. The only rarity type I like over it is probably Ghost Rare...but tbh I love the gold....it's gold 🤷♂️😂
Ultimate rare all day baby!!! It’s a toss up for me if I like secret or ultra rare more…it depends on the card. To this day secrets are still slick if it’s from a core set.
As for modern cards, I do love the starlights but the quarter century rare watered down their lust factor in my opinion.
Forgot the prismatic ultimate from RC!
I personally really like platinum rares and dusa ultra 😊
Konami please bring back the old Platinum Secret
My guy forgot about the black rares from battle pack
Gold Secret are TOUGH, i love them so much
I feel like he forgot ultimate rare from the rarity collections
As a mid tier rarity enjoyer it’s secret rares 🤝 ultis for me. Starlights and QCRs are just out my budget for shiny cardboard lmao and tbh they don’t look that amazing in the sleeves
lol gen 4 ending music
I can’t wait for the quarter century rares to end. The 25th stamp is so ugly
I LOVE Gold cards
Favorite for me Prismatic Secret. Super shiny and pretty and not too overbearing l.
Least Favorite(s): all luxury rares. Starlights, QCRs, Ultimates…I hate them so much. I just like pulling them so I can sell them fast and make a profit.
I personally hated the new collector rare from the rarity collection, they leave their foil on sleeves, get stuck, just all around not my thing
I really like the gold ultra rare hahaha
Bring back DUSA Ultras!!! ❤❤❤
the tEcHnOlOgY
I remember being labeled as weird for liking that rarity on release, I was the only one in my local area who liked that ultra rare type. Now, several years later, people have flipped, and joined me in liking that rarity!
