It legit feels like set design teams get a rough yearly strategy at the start of the year and just run with it, instead of meeting after YCSes, tracking Regional decklists, and identifying reprint opportunities. Gameplay teams clearly do this for Genesys, so why not reprint sets?
Whoever designs yugioh reprint sets needs to be plugged into the gameplay roadmap more. Every reprint feels late + irrelevant to current/future meta (UTP Double Cyclone + MAMO Lukias). If lead times are the issue, there need to be better production levers with manufacturers
@soblackandblue Nike lost the plot…Lowering quality while jacking up prices and relying on hype to sell. At $180+ a shoe, you’re competing with Salomon, HOKA, ON etc. If consumers are already spending $200+, they’ll switch to a better shoe.
mechanics like “contact” fuse/synchro shouldn’t exist, especially when they are used to bypass meaningful interaction points from opponents like forbidden crown or extra deck restrictions (Ie: monsters summoned off Charmer Link and Nullgainer)
if they have magnificent monsters anywhere close to the printers of the branded structure deck or phantom revenge just blow it up right now and release it next year idc
@ShaneTpsf Yup I’ll be there, I work in South SF. Game Parlour runs locals on Wednesdays and they have the best turn out in the city
If you need any general recs, local food, less touristy stuff etc I can definitely help out
genesys really the only format where its optimal to insta drop ash blossom on a card that says “Search/Special a card from deck” because you not tryna go through the doomZ unskippable cutscene combo
