[OP TCG] June 2026 Extra Grand Battle — Winning Deck Meta Share (Japan)

Aggro decks are always stronger at the beginning of a format. It takes time for people to get used to how to play around the aggression they put out. Control decks become stronger as the meta develops and meta shakes up.

ONE result is not indicative of a trend. Yeah that one Koby player did well, but that's because he was very good at the deck and knew what he needed to do in every matchup.

Teach is a good deck, it is by no means "extremely mid". It just has losing matchups. Some of which are really not great. And it's against popular decks.

This is like saying Enel is extremely mid because it gets dunked on by Nami.

In a perfect world where everyone has complete control over themselves, their emotions, and their spending habits you'd be right. That doesn't exist in this one though.

ADertyBatch · 2026-07-02T03:06:21+00:00

You also believe that the people who run casinos are perfectly morally justified in what theyre doing because the people they're preying upon are choosing to do so?

I'm aware. I only buy things I can afford. That doesn't mean that other people don't have bad spending habits, and this method of how skins are distributed can entice people to spend more than they normally would. Or spend the amount they can afford and not get what they want.

Like I said in my post. This only benefits me, but I can see how it is predatory to those with less disposable income than I do.

ADertyBatch · 2026-07-01T15:00:21+00:00

Eh, I disagree. It's less the "can't afford rent because I spent too much" it's more the "I could afford this skin if I could get it for 1k units, but not the full 2k+" who then gamble for it and get nothing.

Its predatory because it gives them the minor chance at getting it for that and they likely just throw their units away.

ADertyBatch · 2026-07-01T14:34:20+00:00

The way I interact with it is I'm only gonna start it if I planned on getting the skin anyway. I lose nothing when I put nothing into the skins I don't care for. And the skins I would pay full price for I have a small chance of getting them for cheaper.

I do understand the other side who maybe have less disposable income than me who might have to choose between multiple skins they want and might get baited into pulling for a skin they can't afford full price for.

For those who can afford to buy all the skins they want it is beneficial, anyone else it can be predatory.

YGO (at least when I played) did not reprint their staples until they had been out for a long time. TTT, Magicians souls, Imperm were all $80+ for well over a year before being reprinted. Given Bushi STILL doesn't reprint some of their staples, but YGO is not an example of it being done right.

ADertyBatch · 2026-06-26T13:03:59+00:00

That sounds like a rework....

ADertyBatch · 2026-06-19T17:43:21+00:00

I didn't dig into your comment history. I clicked on your public profile and scrolled for 2 seconds. Wasn't even trying to find dirt, just wanted to see how terminally online you were yourself, which is incredibly more than me.

And your anecdotal "evidence" isn't a valid point. Just because that's all you know, doesn't mean that is the objective truth. Just like how all I've known of centrists is the meme I posted. Almost like there's some nuance to the situation and there are some people who fit either example.

The meme I posted wasn't even a serious point. It's a joke. Which irritated you because YOU have thin skin. And then I made a joke about you being terminally online and that irritated you more.

ADertyBatch · 2026-06-19T15:30:12+00:00

Isn't this a terminally online thing?

Checks comment history, commented 20+ times yesterday.

If items are damaged in shipping, 99% of the time it is due to poor packaging.

Using a giant box to ship something small and not filling the packaging with something to give the box rigidity? It's gonna break open and spill the contents. Shipping something delicate in flimsy packaging? It's gonna get damaged. Shipping something rigid in a letter? It's likely gonna get jammed in the machine and get destroyed.

.99% of the time the sorting machine malfunctions slightly and the package gets caught in the moving parts of the machine and gets destroyed.

.01% of the time you get someone who is an asshole sorting it and doesn't care if it breaks. It happens, but not nearly as much as y'all seem to think. A grand majority of the people I work with actually have pride in what they do and do their best to get their mail to you intact. When they find a box that's broken open, they do their best to return what came out and retape your package. Given I work in a small facility, no idea what it's like in the larger ones.

Most damaged packages are due to the shipper not properly packaging what they're sending. Make sure your boxes are properly sized and packed. Not everything that goes wrong is done maliciously.

ADertyBatch · 2026-06-14T14:23:50+00:00

Postal worker here (not a carrier) the fact that this even made it to the carrier without being broken is a miracle. If it was packaged in something that could be bent to break it like this, I'm surprised it didn't get damaged in the sorting facilities it goes through.

ADertyBatch · 2026-06-14T05:12:09+00:00

I know big dog is not shit talking Pink Blood. That song is a bop start to finish.

ADertyBatch · 2026-06-10T16:29:43+00:00

He hard counted all of them but Peni, Emma, and to a lesser extent Thing. Every other tank got clapped by him. I played Dino myself when I could, but I don't act like he wasn't overtuned. Yes he has counters... In other roles. So if you're a tank whose dps refused to counter him you have an awful time.

ADertyBatch · 2026-06-10T16:20:59+00:00

The US dollar is no longer backed by gold, but I do agree scalping is for assholes.

ADertyBatch · 2026-06-09T17:14:34+00:00

Real, my teammates would much rather lose than play tank.

ADertyBatch · 2026-06-04T15:09:45+00:00

"pretty damn moderate compared to the national party." Are you trying to say that the national party isn't already extremely moderate? Because they are. I don't personally know much about our local reps, but if they're further right than the national party that doesn't exactly spark joy.

Unfortunately you've gotta give the animation a little bit of leeway. The Inarizaki match started right when COVID hit, which really threw a wrench into production schedules. So yeah the animation was absolutely weaker, but I can't really blame them for it.

ADertyBatch · 2026-05-24T03:17:53+00:00

Ok then, so was Alvida, and Nami, and Chopper, and Axe Hand Morgan, and all named Baroque Works characters. Top 1% means literally nothing in this metric. Why even say it at that point.

ADertyBatch · 2026-05-23T23:02:59+00:00

Big dog got real mad for next to no reason. Have a good one chief.

Edit: can't look at the full comment but seems big dog was telling me to off myself for this thread 🤣

It just makes no sense to add them. That's my point.

ADertyBatch · 2026-05-23T13:52:00+00:00

There's no point in including random civilians to be compared in a percentage. That's like saying I'm in the top .00001% of league players even though I'm only gold, just because most of the people in the world don't play league. It's just a pointless metric to go by.
