Number 11: Big Eye


Recommended Posts

I wouldn't be surprised. Its price is easily $100 before LTGY is even out, which will definitely boost it. And it's been well over a year since GAOV, so I could see a reprint happening.

 

Plus, they did it for Rabbit, putting most of the key cards in a tin. Tour Guide, Rabbit, Leviair, Dolkka, and Laggia.

There's still Dracossack as a Secret for the deck.

 

I think I'll be holding on to my Big Eye in light of these developments though.

OH MY GOD IF THEY REPRINT DRAGO-SAC


KONAMI I WILL BUY AT LEAST THREE TINS IF YOU DO THIS

 

well maybe not, but hopefully they do that

 

OT: Control never really works. It's either too good or too bad. This falls into the former.

Creature Swap and E-Con are fine. TBH, this card isn't an issue if E.Dragons don't exist within the format.

I'll give you E-Con, but I'd say Creature Swap is a different breed from Big Eye, Change of Heart, Brain Control, and Terrorbyte, which were the cards I was mostly thinking of when I said what I did. Big Eye is still permanent control, which I think is silly. Not to mention Prophecy and Mermail go for this almost as easily as E-Drags, although not as frequently.

"Differetn Breed" means nothing. It's a control card done right. It can be done.

I will burn you with fire

drown you with water

blow you with wind

and crush you with earth

you cannot escape my gaze

you cannot escape this place

and should you defeat me

I will do this all over again.

 

Bleh.

 

OT - Horrid cards in multiples, but strangely tamed @1 each are the dragons. as for Big Eye himself...I still think it should be banned given all it's good points.

It was fine design if questionable by this game standards before Dragon Rulers (Love the name) came out.

 

I would rather see the decks that abuse this (Mermails and Dragon's) Burn in a firey pit before this gets touched, because otherwise Konami can say they've hit the deck for a format, and the deck carries on regardless.

 

Also, this is basically what the deck makes if it doesn't go first, and hasn't been shut down. When you go first you make SAC. The only redeeming thing about the format for me is seeing the Mirror. Because Big Eye wars are hilarious.

Alright, I think this card is balanced (or as close as you can get, these days). The high ATK helps.

 

Of course, this thing costs somewhere around $90. I should have bought it while it was in the 30s. My only hope is to either get lucky and pull one out of an old GAOV pack, or pay the full amount and get him indefinitely. Of course, I could spend 90+ dollars on him, and later find out that he's being released in a tin. On the other hand, I could wait for the tin, which my never come. I hate these statistics.

 

Does anybody know why this is about as rare as Number 07: Lucky Straight, but costs ten times as much?

But Number 11 is actually good, and Number 7 is just a luck-based casual card.

Good point. Still, should I try to purchase it online, get a bunch of packs, or wait for a tin to be released for it.

 

Still with the new Battle Pack coming out, you never know what could be in there. After all, Rank 7's are pretty big...

If you have no qualms about spending $90 on a single card (with the very high probability its value will go down in the next year or so due to banlists), do the online.

 

If you have amazing pack luck, or there are a lot of cards you want from the set and you have no problem spending lots of money on packs, do that. I don't advise it, personally.

 

I plan to wait for a reprint because $100 is too much for me, even with a job.

I know how expensive it is... I have enough pack luck, but I did go to the Sneak Peek for GAOV, and didn't get anything higher than Level 4. Rarest card I got was a Super Rare trap card, and Night Beam, both of which I traded away to get some pretty cool cards.

 

So I have pretty much all the commons, and an unlucky pack would cause me to scream in rage.

 

I'm thinking I should wait for the reprint.

Given what that new Battle Pack is, it's unlikely Big Eye will be there. The main thing in the new Battle Pack is tribute summoning for big monsters and Big Eye ruins that whole thing.

I pulled one, and recently traded 20US$ of cards for a second. I hope I can sell them before they get reprinted.

I had already set myself to getting this card before it became expensive. It has a good effect and it has the correct level to be Seaking's bro.

HOW IN THE BLOODY HELL THAT WE CALL THE YU-GI-OH! TCG DID YOU GET IT FOR THAT CHEAP

Here is what I gave

 

My:

Common Garoth

Ultra Lumina

Gold Celestia

Common E-Call

Super Terra Firma

Common Alius

Super Alius

Secret Alius

 

Those are a lot of shiny cards, but the guy was unsure because, according to him, Big Eye is at least 30$. I convinced him telling him Alius was 10$ a piece (I was confused at that point).
