@AbrandNewMac Whoever thought to add more toxic cards to the most toxic deck in the format should answer for their crimes. The format already sucked, why would someone intentionally make it way worse.
@Jamaizon I think the issue is that the current format sucks. We've had good and bad formats before. The downside is we're going to have to wait a long time before the meta balances back out again.
Today, Cerys Jones won $10,000 at a Pokémon Regional. Assuming she doesn't touch a single cent, at 7% annual growth, that's $250,000 by retirement.
Every Dragapult KO was one step closer to financial freedom. That's not meta manipulation, that's market manipulation.
@TaigaxHolic Pokemon has the lowest barrier to entry for competitive decks, even the most expensive decks are usually less than $100 to build. MTG on the other hand cost me $80 for a tier 3 pre con that will cost me another $100 to upgrade to a tier 2. I won't even guess at Yu-Gi-Oh
