I've had Cyberpunk on a shelf for what feels like years, waiting for them to iron out all the kinks. Super excited to play it now!

at this point you're probably good to dust it off. tons of mods and stuff for it these days

They have got it good now. My understanding is that they got the game in good shape a year or two ago, and in 2025 they dropped a big update that made a performance improvement across various platforms. That’s when I jumped into it deep. It looks great on my PS5 Pro running in the ray tracing mode and VRR enabled.

The crows in paper Mario TTYD really crack me up!

So, you all know that I am into Yu-Gi-Oh! as gaming. Well, had an interesting experience at a tournament today in Twin Falls.

I lost every single duel. I was a little discouraged, I was walking out when they told me that there was a free tournament pack you get for playing. I decided to take it. In my car, I opened up the pack of 3 cards. Immediately, I saw this.

I looked it up to see how rare it is, when I suddenly saw that this card usually runs very expensive. I then looked it up on eBay, to see how much it was worth, only to find that some of these are selling for US$200. No joke. I pulled a US$200 card out of a tournament pack.

If you want, you can see for yourself. Just go to eBay and look up Yu-Gi-Oh! OP28-EN001. That’s what this card is.

That plus the red eyes cards I traded for really made my day.

It is now in a card protector. Next week, I’m bringing it to the tournament, and I’m gonna have them verify what it is. Then I’m probably gonna sell it.

I don’t know anything about card or table-top RPG or dueling games. So this question may reveal me to be a rube; wouldn’t it be better to keep it? I presume its a powerful card you can regularly beat people with?

The only actual YGH card I know.

Really depends on the meta environment of the tournament (IE what the popular decks/mechanics are right now. That fluctuated as cards enter/leave the format. At least, in MTG that's how it flows. Yugioh may be different. I do not know if they have set rotation or banlists in certain formats) "Powerful cards" are often prepared for and countered, so it's not always a guarantee.

Might also not fit the theme or mechanic yuo've built a deck around, so may not be something you play. Or on the flip side, something you specifically build a new deck around.

For the record, I have about five other copies of this card. Not the ultra rare version, the ones I have are pretty common except for this one. You’re only allowed three in a deck.

Plus, this is a normal monster. No added effects. If it was an effect monster with a good effect, I would probably keep it.

True, the attack and defense are both high, but I have plenty of non-rare copies of this card.

Here’s an example of an effect monster I would probably keep if I found.

Yu-Gi-Oh can get pretty complicated. It’s still fun to play once you get it down.

It does fit the theme of my deck, as I run a blue eyes deck usually. I still think I’m going to sell it, though. As I said before, I’ve got plenty of non-rare copies of blue eyes white dragon.

Not really. The card is mostly valued for the nostalgia, not because it's particularly good. Sure, it has high attack and good support to get it out but that's about all it has going for it. It has no protection from removal effects which are all over the place nowadays. Blue eyes decks are mostly considered casual decks nowadays played for the nostalgia, they aren't usually competitive
