Icy Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I haven't played the game competitively IRL since the Beatdown Era at all. And while I've gotten better at the game through experiences online, one part still fuddles me. The Physical Card Game and their prices/packs contain what/etc. Normally I'd run Ice Frog Synchro but I doubt all the cards required are even in the TCG yet. (And I still don't know where Local Cardshops are in my Area/been here 3yrs). Or really, what kind of decks of mine I can actually run without pulling all the well, for lack of a better term [i]"dakine"[/i]. So umm yea, if someone can help me ease back into the Physical Card Game and find prices for the kinds of decks I run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Structure Decks are always a good first step to it...as lately buying them gets you a decently playable Deck to use... Even more if you convine 2/3 Copies of said SD... As for Getting Ice Barrier Stuff Cheap...IDK...Here that stuff are quite Expensive due to Hidden Terminal and such being imported in low numbers...>_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mehmani Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Buy 3x Dragunity Legion, 3x Marik Structure or 3x Machina Mayhem. Bingo - a competitive deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Nu-13 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Not quite. For Dragunities, you'd also have to buy Synchros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the new posting things, and how I switched browsers and cleared the other ones that wouldn't be possible without some extensive work. But I usually run Ice Barrier Frog Synchro, Rituals, Spirits (I'll post the decklist for this one later), and Agent Fairies, and anything to deal with a Water or Light Theme.

Bringerofcake Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Well, from the getgo you're going to run into some annoyng problems with Ice barriers. Frogs are cheap, Brio has gone down, Dewloren has always been cheap, Gungir is fairly expensive, and Trish is STILL going for stupid amounts, but it hasn't been mass released yet. [s]Rituals...it depends on the monster you're focusing around. Demise OTK, being feasible again, has brought his price upward dramatically. Most of the others are fairly cheap; maybe a Herald lockdown?[/s] [s]Agent Fairies...wait for the Structure Deck to come out in July, or June or whatever. I've run it in WC11 and it's amazing.[/s] EDIT: stricken stuff is ninja'd stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] If I might interject here. The Synchros involved are Mist Wurm, Trishula, Brio, and the Formula/Red Nova/Shooting Star set-up. As well as any others that might help. And traditionally I run Shinato-Demise Variants for Rituals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Well, over the years I've amassed a collection, and pretty much I just play with what I have. I've only bought like 13 cards in my Yu-Gi-Oh! "career". I don't do tournament play, but that's partially because there's none nearby. The best way to do it is buy Structure Decks, Starter Decks (the ones with Synchros/Exceeds (when they come out), and the most recent packs. You can get some decent and usable cards. A lot of the useful ones are actually Common, with some exception. You can also buy singles at Troll and Toad, and a few other places. Tins can be used for certain cards that you need, since you are guaranteed to get it. Though they are semi-expensive. Other than all that, I don't know of much to tell you.

ihop Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 SDDL needs playsets of Vaginas and Phalanxes plus all the other synchros. Probably you're best off buying 3 SDMA and then buying solemn and 2 Royal tribute. Obviuosly it would be best to have cash to splash out on pots but...

darkwolf777 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 You guys and your singles. Wouldn't it be cheaper to, instead of buying a $150 card, to simply just buy $150 of the pack that its in, and sell the rare and unneeded cards you get, then do it again. At least then you have a chance of just pulling it yourself and saving in the long run x.x Or does it not work that well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] To be honest, if you buy a box from a set, there is only like 1 card in it that is going to be worth money. And if you succeed at pulling multiples of it, you turn profit. If you don't, then your kinda' stuck with a crap-load of commons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihop Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 The only card worth so much in a normal pack is Pot and a box of DREV is generally worth your money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
