    This just shows how IMPORTANT and different the system of Yugioh is compared to others. In the Pokemon TCG for example, they're are a bunch of reprints of a very simple effect "Draw 3 cards" which isn't really even played as there are others who will let you draw even 6 or even 7 cards. But in a Format that is not energy-based whatsoever, having a draw X/add X with no downside is like THE peak of card design for the game.

    • @matthewkuscienko4616
      @matthewkuscienko4616 Před rokem +55

      I feel this has a lot to do with the complexity of Yugioh as a whole, especially when you consider how many different types of special summoning mechanics there are, not to mention the fact that unlike with pretty much any other tcg other there currently, there's also no set rotation, either. It's also worth mentioning that the example you used for Pokemon specifically is not played because of a few reasons:
      1) Those cards are supporter cards, which only one copy can be played of per turn, and it's a pretty weak effect for a supporter. This is why Bill, which lets you draw 2 cards, was originally considered to be very good since there was no restriction on how many copies you could play in a turn when the card was first printed, but as soon as it got reprinted as a supporter card, everyone disregarded it.
      2) There are other supporters that either let you draw more cards, or do the same effect of drawing 3 more while also having additional effects as well; this ties into the first point of why those cards never get played, since you're giving up the ability to play a different, more useful supporter by playing one of those cards instead.
      3) In Pokemon, you need to have a 60 card deck, while in Yugioh, you're allowed anywhere between 40 and 60 cards, and back when I still played the game regularly, it was much closer to the smaller 40 card limit. This means that in Yugioh, draw effects don't necessarily need to be able to draw you as many cards because you have a smaller number to go through in the course of a game, which is only compounded by how prevalent search effects are in Yugioh, which can thin your deck even more

    Pot Of Greed is the reason I love Yugioh as a game. Unlike many it just shows old doesn't mean outdated and new doesn't necessary mean better. Somehow an anime card created over 20 years ago that the creator definitely didn't put many complicated thoughts into it and was just like "Yeah, just give it an Uno effect to draw cards" with the most generic and basic card game gimmick just becomes so unrivalled and unmatched in newer generations that new copy cats were made just to replicate it's former glory without breaking the game.

    Fun trivia. The Jar Monsters, the Pot Spells (and monsters), and Jar Traps, are actually 3 (4?) distinct "archetypes".
    In the OCG, the Jar monsters are just called "Pot" (ポット; potto) or pod (ポッド; Poddo) (note: Pot the Trick has only been printed once, and never in the TCG, but if it were, it would be called a "Jar"); it's really hit or miss on which of the Jar flip monsters are pots or pods.
    The Pot Spells and Monsters + Dragon Capture Jar (Spirit of the Pot of Greed, Avatar of the Pot, and Pot of the Forbidden) are referred to as "Tsubo" (壺; つぼ)
    And the Jar Traps + Jar Turtle are referred to as "Kame" (瓶; かめ)

      That is its main issue. It acts as disruption, sure, but wouldn't work outside a turbo jar deck. In the best case scenario that it lives through your turn and into your opponent's battle phase, it will wipe the board, but then give your opponent some bodies on the board and extra cards in hand, so they can just go to main phase 2 and combo off using that. Meanwhile, if you use it during your own turn in a deck focused on flipping them up and back down, you would be able to avoid most hand traps by forcing them on the field instead of the hand, while at least getting information on anything else they did add. It would be too niche to be problematic nowadays

    Another advantage Prosperity has going for it is that you can banish ANY 6 cards from your Extra Deck - this includes your face-up Extra Deck, so you can stack up some pendulum monsters that you can't use again or don't need to offset the cost eating into your toolbox.
    Extravagance outright specifies that it has to banish face-down cards from your extra deck, so you can't cheese the cost by cramming in a bunch of pendulum monsters.

    • @xCorvus7x
      @xCorvus7x Před rokem +2

      Banishing cards face-down from your Extra deck means both that the cards are banished face-down _and_ that the banished cards were face-down in your Extra deck?
      I thought it meant only the former (although, unless you get Pendulums into your Extra deck before your Main Phase 1 begins, Extravagance would only be a turn 3 tool here).

    • @tonberryking42
      @tonberryking42 Před rokem +5

      @@xCorvus7x Nope. Extravagance explicitly says "Banish 3 or 6 random **face-down** cards from your Extra Deck, face-down" meaning that the cards its banishing must be face-down in the Extra Deck, and it makes 3 or 6 of them at random become banished face-down.
      Prosperity does *not* have that stipulation - they just gotta be cards in your extra deck, but they are still banished face-down.

      @tonberryking42 Před rokem +3

      @@user-mx4is4fx3c Semi free. It has to be the first thing you do in the main phase, and you cannot draw any more cards after resolving the effect successfully. That being said, if you can gimmick a bunch of fast effect draw cards in your draw and standby phases, Extravagance says that you're still good to use it. Buuuut now you're playing a bunch of draw cards that Extravagance will likely be drawing you into.
      Also, I just learned that Extravagance is on the list of things Mystical Refpanel arbitrarily cannot chain to, despite NOTHING about either card indicating that they are incompatible - they just don't want you locking yourself out of drawing cards during your opponent's turn, I guess.
      You'll notice that on rulings, "Can "Mystical Refpanel" be activated in Chain to the activation of [X}" and the cards where you can't will say, universally, "Mystical Refpanel" is a card that is activated directly in Chain to the activation of a Spell Card that affects 1 player. Since [X] is not a Spell Card that affects 1 player, "Mystical Refpanel" cannot be activated in Chain to the activation of [X]." Even if [X] does only affect one player.
      You'll notice that the theme here, at least when it comes to some of these cards with draw backs, is that the draw back is tied to the effect, rather than as a condition independent of the effect. You CAN Refpanel Duality, and you will excavate 3 and add 1, but the player who activated Duality will be restricted from special summoning. But you can't on Extravagance because the no more draws is part of the effect. Nevermind that the entire effect of Extravagance affects only the 1 player. Same deal with Sekka's Light, but at least that one follows under the line of reasoning that is "we don't want players to lose hard lose because they got too ahead of themselves, rather than because of any one exact interaction."

    Pot of Prosperity is such a good card that there are some decks that would still use it instead of Pot of Greed even if it was legal. Because choosing one specific card out of 6 can win you the game in some cases, far better than 2 random cards, no matter the restrictions, that's why they limited Prosperity to 1 in Master Duel, it's not as generic and splashable as Pot of Greed but in terms of Power level it's almost the same. Pot of Desires is similar to that, but the current Meta favours Prosperity over Desires, though it could change in the future. Power creep of the game has become so big that there are some new cards that are as powerful as those old broken cards, nuts.

    When you want to prevent a deck-out in a Mystic Mine deck, Outstanding Dog Marron is an alternative to Jar of Avarice. As long you have seven cards in your hand, you can discard it at the end of your turn and draw it again and again.

    I personally use Pot of Extravagance in my Qli deck. Since I'm only reliant on one specific Link Monster, I'm unlikely to hit those pieces, and even then, I don't actively need it. Even the restriction of not drawing doesn't hurt that much at the end of the day, since I'm more likely to end on a big monster with it. This was a fun list. How about a "Trap Hole" list (assuming that there isn't already a list for that).

    Pot of Averice much like other cards like Upstart and lesser extend Chicken Game, stayed at 3 for a long time in the OCG.

    There was one pot monster that I think was left out despite how good it can be used, Pot of the forbidden. This level 9 monster looks too much to summon and handle unless you build your deck around it with flip support like Prediction Princess Tarotrei where you can special summon Forbidden from your hand or graveyard then you can use its other effects to keep causing it to flip face down. Yeah, it isn't a stable but it is a fun gimmick deck that can get you far.

    I love Jar of Avarice. It allows me to recycle my Trade In, Cards of Consonance, White Stone of Legend, Blue Eyes White Dragon and Jar of Greed.
    I like how when I use Jar of Greed it just gives me an extra card regardless of what happens if I start it before my opponent combos off, or even chain it with my opponent trying to get rid of it thinking it might be a mirror force. My favorite play would be using Cards of Consonance to send White Stone of Legend to the graveyard, gain 2 Cards plus a Blue Eyes White Dragon, follow up with Trade In to get 2 more Cards, use Magicalized Fusion to get out a Dark Paladin, and finally set a Jar of greed and a Jar of Avarice to bring back Trade In, Cards of Consonance, Dark Magician, Magicalized Fusion and Jar of Greed to get the engine PLUS another card to the deck and hand

    "Top 10 targets for 'Muddy Mudragon'"
    with Master Duel's new Selection pack, I found that I could splash Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon and potentially Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon into just about any of my decks reliably and make use of them, but I figured you might know of some additional options that could feasibly be splashed in as well. reason being is because Muddy Mudragon can substitute for a monster named on a Fusion Monster, provided the other materials are correct.
    with there being some cards that include a named card plus a more generic material (Red-Eyes Slash Dragon can be splashed into a Warrior deck, for instance), I'd imagine there's plenty of good options out there... right?

If this set card is activated this cards effect cannot be negated or responded to.

      I think he has been staying away from more general products or topics just because there comes a whole new level of abstract decision making behind it. One of his most common sources for rankings is the amount of competitive play a card has seen, which is a nice empirical measurement. Sure, there is a lot of subjectiveness to that, like *when* it saw competitive play, or *why* it saw play. However, if he just went on to packs, it would bring in a bunch of real world factors like short printing, card rarity, third party card markets, and other real world events affecting availability of cards/tournaments. Then just the issues of having 60-100+ cards in a set and having to arbitrarily weigh just how many of those cards were useful, or whether a set deserves to be mentioned just because of a single meta-changing card inside even though everything else was underwhelming gimmicks or filler/reprints.
