They won't be selling them, and they will be obtainable later, why are people 🔥ing that they can't use them anymore? In no place I see do they state that. In fact, they extended our time to collect them first so new players don't get left behind as badly.
Sorry but this is straight up false. EVERY version of Yu-Gi-Oh ever released has been notorious for constantly "tweaking" the cards that are limited and forbidden. Just because they haven't done so yet does not under ANY circumstances mean they won't. Source? Me. I used to compete at a very high level in the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG for it's first few years of release. I quit BECAUSE of nonsense like this.
All of the TCG's rotate their cards out. This has always been the case and always will be. But Yu-Gi-Oh takes this to another level. It has worked for them for decades now so they won't change it anytime soon. Usually in the case of something like MTG As they retire cards out you can still use them in different formats. Cards may come back in future versions their rarity (1)
may increase or decrease of they never come out. This the standard most TCG's use and it is widely accepted by the players at large. This is NOT how Yu-Gi-Oh plays the game. Konami is NOTORIOUS. For having really rare nearly unattainable cards in one set and discontinuing or limiting them a few months to a year later. The example I gave with MTG before? You usually have a solid 2-3 years worth(2)
of play before they are retired. This is another way Yu-Gi-Oh does things differently. Most TCG's will try to tweak the meta according to what cards are available. Konami just says oops that card we released is too powerful. Oh well it's forbidden now. And it's gone. Nearly every spell and trap was limited or forbidden almost right at release. This isn't tweaking a card this is them going (3)
well Raigeki is broken. I guess it's forbidden now. Despite the fact that it was in every starter set and one of the rarer cards to obtain the booster packs for the first set. They are also notorious for another practice other tcg's do not incorporate. The rarest cards in a booster box will be in the next wave of starter decks. This defeats the purpose of "trying" for a rare card at all (4)
I participated in National Tournaments for the first few years of Yu Gi Oh's release. I did not do well AT that level but I got there. I haven't purchased a booster pack in 15 years and I never will again. I play all the games as they come out and they ALSO limit and forbid cards constantly. You defeat an opponent in the game pull Cyber Jar and it grays out and won't let you add it to the deck.(5)
This is why you see people freaking out and complaining about forbidden and limited cards. We know what we are talking about and it isn't going to change. Personally I prefer Yu-Gi-Oh to MTG but it isn't better than Magic. There are only so many things you can do in Yu-Gi-Oh so you WILL run into infinite unbreakable patterns that require tweaking. But Konami doesn't always think things through (6)
When they release a card. As much as I love Yu-Gi-Oh and many anime fans do it's geared towards kids and it always will be. Cool abilities and pretty pictures. They don't look at what cards will run into crazy patterns that break the game until AFTER releasing them. They haven't since the game came out in 1998 why stop now? They WILL limit quite a few cards. The reasons it hasn't happened yetis(7)
is simple. I was upset about the forbidden limited thing from the start. I still played the game another 3 years before quitting it. 1998 was almost 20 years ago. 50+ videogames have released since then all have different rules all have F/L cards. New generation who doesn't know about the forbidden limited thing yet. Who have their first phones and think this looks like a cool card game. (8)
