It's Pot of Greeds split personality! [Pot of Duality]

[Scyire]

Ima wait for a not so expensive version of this card to come out. Like a gold rare, or something.

[Black W Mage]

so I get to draw 3 cards, but the catch is I only get to keep one, my opponent KNOWS what it is, and I can't special summon?

and people pay over $130 for only one? it's worth it

It'll probably be in STBL Special Edition.

Overly expensive money card that is balanced yet splashable in almost everything. I probably wouldn't run it because I don't want to spend that much on a piece of shiny paper, but that's my loss.

If i get htis, i will sell, buy 3 more cheaper 1s off ebay, then sell each for £70. I would buy 10 DREVs, 10 ABPFs, 12 STOVs.

Many people believe that this card should be:
1. Played at 3 in all decks.
2. Either limited or semi-limited next list.

After discovering some rulings on it, I have changed my former opinion, and believe that both of the above mentioned points are seriously wrong. I personally think that this card is the most balanced card ever made and should stay at 3. Lets put this card into perspective:
1. No gain in card advantage (a 1 for 1).
2. Your opponent gets to see the card you picked. This means they can easily plan around it and know what is coming.
3. You opponent also gets to see the cards that get sent back to the deck. This is also very important, as it gives them information about what cards you do not have in your possession. For example, if mirror force or torrential tribute was sent back to the deck and your opponent has face-downs, you now know that those face-down cards are not as much of a threat.
4. You cannot Special Summon the turn you activate it. this stops swarms or big plays that this card could otherwise initiate. In today's game, that is quite a severe set back, especially in the mid to late game.
5. You cannot activate multiple copies in the same turn. This stops many things:
a) Getting another one out of the top 3 cards from it's effect and activating it again to further increase the chance of drawing a certain card.
Abuse in Exodia decks and other Instant win decks.
c) Having 2 in the hand can really clog you up/slow you down, which in a tournament, could potentially lose you the game.

That said, I really dont think this card is even that good at all. I certainly wouldn't run it in all decks.

2. Your opponent gets to see the card you picked. This means they can easily plan around it and know what is coming.[b] They have no s/t. Let's see them plan for a Dark Hole.[/b]

For example, if mirror force or torrential tribute was sent back to the deck and your opponent has face-downs, you now know that those face-down cards are not as much of a threat. [b]True, but why wouldn't you take the good card? And they might end up at the top of your deck anyway.[/b]
4. You cannot Special Summon the turn you activate it. this stops swarms or big plays that this card could otherwise initiate. In today's game, that is quite a severe set back, especially in the mid to late game. [b]Which is annoying, I admit. But it can be played around.[/b]

a) Getting another one out of the top 3 cards from it's effect and activating it again to further increase the chance of drawing a certain card. [b]Oh, well.[/b]
Abuse in Exodia decks and other Instant win decks. [b]OK...[/b]
c) Having 2 in the hand can really clog you up/slow you down, which in a tournament, could potentially lose you the game. [b]I have 2 in my starting hand. I activate one, getting a monster, than set the second along with several others, to bluff my opponent as they have no Heavy. And it wouldn't be a huge problem anyway.[/b]

That said, I really dont think this card is even that good at all. I certainly wouldn't run it in all decks. [b]Nobody runs it in all their decks...[/b]



My comments in bold. I personally am running this in my Frognarchs (assuming I can get one >_>)

Lol at anyone who says that Pot of Duality is broken.

Yeah it's good, we know. But it's a fairly well designed card with sufficient drawbacks to balance its advantages - sufficient enough, in fact, that it's not worth playing in certain fast-paced decks (I'm looking at you, X-Sabers), which has the added benefit of incentivizing slower play and slower decks: A good thing in this lightning meta.

You're all just moaning because of the price tag. Don't worry, we all know Konami is going to want to capitalize on the cash cow, and will release it in a tin, or a special edition, or gold series, or something.
