Any Gamers Here?

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.

Makes sense. It's always tough for me with magic cards. I have tens of thousands worth at realistic value (50% of retail), but when it comes down to actually selling them, I doubt I would.

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

Funny you should say that, I lost to a blue eyes deck twice today. They can make them competitive, I've seen that. Its just hard to do. I am still working on my blue eyes deck as well as a red eyes deck.

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.

Yugioh is eternal format and the banlist is updated usually every few months. You can play any legal card that was made at any point in time. Whether it is still any good or not though is another matter entirely as power creep is very real in yugioh

Yeah, they can occasionally be competitive but usually they are beat out by more modern faster decks

OK so it's similar to vintage in MTG. (vintage is constructed, up to 4 of a single card, typically 60 card decks, and everything is legal with a banned / restricted (only 1 allowed per deck) list

Yep (with the caveat that you can never have more than 3 of any one card and decks are between 40-60 cards with 40 card decks being preferred for consistency's sake in yugioh)

Also, I am not the player you want to face in either MTG or yugioh. My main decks when I played IRL were a D.D. banish control deck that could stop you from attacking and doing things in the graveyard (the graveyard is basically a second hand in yugioh) and chain burn. My main decks online are chain burn and dogmatika/spriggians and I ran a mystic mine control/burn deck when it was legal. Chain burn is probably the most hated deck of all time in yugioh only beaten out by mystic mine decks (while they were legal) and in MTG I run a blue/white flying control because I enjoy finding creative ways to say no to the opponent while they can do diddley squat to stop me. I may be lawful good IRL but I am lawful evil in TCGs and proud of it

And yes, all my friends hate my decks xD

Heh. Azorius /Esper control player here. I really wish I could find a good way to convert my stasis vintage deck to commander (my preferred eternal format). But it's hard to lock people down in a singleton (only one of each card) format with not enough control options. I give it a shot every now and again, and I still have my control deck sleeved for vintage.

Yeah, I keep precon commander decks handy for that reason. If I'm blowing pods out with my constructed stuff, I'll switch to try and keep it more fun for others.
