This is one of the hot topic in TCG teritory now, many people and i mean many is really a lot of people thinking that Konami started to mess with them and troll them by reprinting all of expensive card into a cheap one, which i think that they're... err pathetic, and now i will tell you about my opinion in this mass reprint case.
Well, first thing first i admit that a lot of people were in a big loss because of this reprint, since now Pot of Duality price is no more then just a mere $8.00 (according to internet price), and Kristya price is also get a big drop from $90.00 to $50.00 (you can even get the Super one with only $5.00) but never forget, this is a game dude, not a place to search a profit in the first place, so blame yourself for piled a lot of Kristya and PoD. And now let's get to the main Topic,are we being trolled? or not? well of course the answer is...
no!!
They never think to troll their player, i never get what ppl think by saying that they are trolling the player, the answer why they do a massive reprint is first to get a more profit for themself of course, and second to make the access to good card easier, also like i already mention before that this is a game in the first place, so of course they would think how to get more player into their territory, and so of course they gonna do something like this to gather more people to play their game, this is a predictable if you think it carefully.
Also if you look closely at Yu-Gi-Oh! history, you'll recognize one thing about the difference price that TCG and OCG have, how in OCG is really easy to create a competitive deck while in TCG is really hard to create one, and then one name will appear on your mind... If you remember the time when YGO TCG is still in the past era when how a card with $400.00 Price is not a surprise (looking at how expensive is CCV and DAD when DAD Tele is still dominating), yeah, yeah i know about something like 'seller is the one who decide the price' this is one of wrong though that player had. I mean of course Seller is the one who decide the price, but once again think about it carefully if DAD were never printed in Secret Rare and make it hard to found in it's expansion, will seller place $200.00 for it's price? just think what if DAD printed in rare, of course seller won't place $200.00 on it's price, so rarity is indirectly affected the price, well what's done is done, now let's back to the topic. IMO they wanted to change this perspective of player that think 'only people with a lot of money can play competitive in tournament' though at the past, now with this a lot of reprint (and maybe more reprint in the near future for Warning etc), player didn't have any excuse again for being unskilled by saying 'this card is expensive so i can't buy it!' because is already and gonna reprint a lot of card!! that's why never think they are trolling you! because what they do is for the sake of this game and for the sake of the competitiveness that this game had! wouldn't it be fun if the tournament get more difficult because now every person can have their own Duality and Kristya (and maybe Warning in near future)? well if you want an easy win and didn't want to compete just play Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force 6, it's easier you know?
okay that's all! bye for now guys!
Bravo, I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that has this opinion. I like the reprints myself, they're giving players who can't afford big price cards like Warning (Such as myself and many others, let's face it, it's hard to get a job these days) on a whim. I'm lucky to have the big price cards that I do have, but definitely wish I could have gotten them at a cheaper price. My Trishula took 4 months of saving up for by the time I was finished with my tournament fee's every week.
