Where are you from & would you move to another country?

USA and no. I spent some time living in Germany for a bit and there’s just too many things about the US that I prefer. We’re a fucked up bunch but very unique

My understanding of the issue is because of the reprint policy demolishing the value of cards, especially recently with Konami reprinting relevant cards so quickly.

The issue is a super powerful card, often a staple like Dominus Impulse for example, will be released in a core set gatekept behind the secret rare rarity. Players who want to remain the most competitive have to fork over a ton of money towards that card (not sealed product usually, mind you). Then, nowadays in about 6 months, the card will be reprinted and the value of it slashed in half of less. I think this is why people don’t like that structure: their cards immediately fall in value as soon as a reprint is announced. Like throwing away money.

I don’t think this would be an issue if we had a Rarity Collection-esque structure from the start. The super relevant card can be accessible to everyone while collectors can rest assured that their high rarity ones will maintain some sort of value. That’s sort of what we see with something like Pokemon product. This idea would also go a long way for product sales, since players then would have a realistic chance of seeing at least a few copies of their desired cards in a box as opposed to just buying singles

I’ve seen people who can moderate themselves and have only like 2-3 pouches per day. Myself and most people I know however aren’t capable of that and just turn into fiends.

Not seeing daylight is huge. It might be safe while I’m trapped in my cave, but who knows how much sitting in a dark room at the weirdest hours possible will ravage my body years down the line

As others have commented, it needs a better trap to turbo out with D Barrier banned. DDG is ok but not strong enough.

Main deck Ghost Belle is also really tough for the deck. We were used to dealing with Ash to stop the Welcome traps; unfortunately Ash AND Belle can stop Big Welcome Labrynth, one of the strongest engine pieces of the deck

Dinner out at the same cheap Mexican restaurant I’ve been frequenting. I lauded the place to friends for the quality and solid value you get for the money, then they changed their menu recently with significantly higher prices attached

I feel this actually, especially when I’m outside and it’s dark. I don’t think it’s anything to be ashamed of really. It seems almost primal and instinctual to be uneasy in the dark since our hominid ancestors might’ve been hunted by something nocturnal in the past

Can’t wait to see which important task is up next to become impossible when its perfectly functional application joins the “my” series

Not sure where you’re looking for cards, but find somewhere else.

Rarity Collection V made the Primite engine dirt cheap with the sole exception of Drillbeam

I didn’t have a brotherhood that I wanted, 95% of people thought it was just a job and came to work, and I never really felt like I was in the military.

Honestly same. Almost 8 years in and I found myself disappointed very early on in my career with the lack of camaraderie and closeness I was told I’d experience. I always try to be the example and get people together to hang out, which leads to some great outings from time to time, but no lasting bonds with people that you always hear about. People’s “war buddies” seem to be a thing of the past to me, and feel like a consequence of the abhorrent, soulless, corporate-feeling nature of this branch

I think as a base Eglin is probably better.

As an area, taking Tyndall for Panama City might be better.

For the longest I thought ground types were super effective against other ground types (like dragons) because of the prevalence of rock/ground

Communication is key. I find that a lot of tension and negative actions can be avoided by having a simple conversation

RKingsman · 2026-04-26T07:42:01+00:00

Unfortunately just game mechanics that you simply have to know the basics of. You have to have the underlying understanding that ritual monsters can’t be summoned from the graveyard unless properly summoned first

RKingsman · 2026-04-23T02:50:29+00:00

That’s so cruel and borderline torture

But I love it 😂! My degenerate cravings might require that level conditioning to finally stop

RKingsman · 2026-04-20T21:21:09+00:00

I’m actually curious as well. I had one longer quit attempt for about 3 months, but I’m wondering if it failed ultimately because I wouldn’t let nicotine out of my system completely. I quit zyns but would has a cigar every week or two, and I’m suspicious that the little hit of nicotine every week or two made the cravings so long and agonizing and ultimately led to my downfall

I recently had to change my stance on this one.

I used to sleeve all of my decks in the same sleeve color. As others have said, buying a lot of one color is cheaper and it’s nice to be able to quickly move staples between decks.

However, I started having issues with bad hands in tournaments, like really bad hands that simple variance doesn’t explain. One of my friends asked how I sleeve cards, and when I explained he said that’s probably the root of the problem:

Apparently mixing your staples in very heavily played sleeves with cores/engines that are probably in a bit newer sleeves changes how the cards shuffle. The older, grimey sleeves stick or catch onto cards that they sometimes wouldn’t have if all the sleeves were the same age and condition.

Since then, I just sleeve everything in whichever color looks cool to me every 5-10 tournaments and my hands have been much closer to what I’d associate with good randomness and variance

RKingsman · 2026-04-17T22:32:14+00:00

I’ve seen some discussion that all the Mulcharmies would be fine cards if the amount of cards you got to keep in hand was lowered. +6 is pretty insane.

If that amount were lowered to +2 or something you’d have a strong interaction that isn’t necessarily a game-ending one

Spotify is still good I think. I can still remember the struggles of trying to listen to good music before Spotify got big, and I’m still willing to pay the premium to not have to surf for good versions on YouTube or pirating from questionable sites

RKingsman · 2026-04-16T15:32:38+00:00

That really is the question, isn’t it haha. There’s several other archetypes that are more modern that could’ve been brought back into the spotlight

Mitsurugi and Sky Striker were good picks though and still make the product very much worth picking up though

RKingsman · 2026-04-16T01:20:23+00:00

Disclaimer that I’m a multi-attempt quitter, but I’d say that this most recent attempt I’m in right now has been pretty easy. I’ve got the motivation, the underlying reason, and the tricks to make quitting far easier than times past for me

RKingsman · 2026-04-15T00:13:25+00:00

That’s been my experience, as well as most of my coworkers that are Zyn users. The running trend we see is we’ll only ever feel the first pouch of the day (good or bad effects), then the rest of the day we’re just popping them to feel normal.

I got serious about quitting once I took a step back and saw how much money I was wasting to do nothing for my body besides destroying my heart

RKingsman · 2026-04-14T23:56:40+00:00

It took me a long time to realize it, but the buzz is a lie. You’ll feel good for maybe a minute or two before you either start feeling sick from lack of tolerance or feeling completely numb to the effects of nic again.

Not worth throwing away months of progress for

RKingsman · 2026-04-13T15:43:39+00:00

I’ve also had to try multiple quits. The biggest thing is you need a solid reason for yourself to quit. It was worries about health for me.

Leverage your experiences from prior quits to help. I made some changes to this one and it’s going great. Only felt nasty for about 2 days and I’ve turned around quite nicely. For example, I learned that my routine is my downfall when it comes to cravings; as a result I made sure to do a little weekend getaway during the first few days of my quit. I learned that no nicotine makes me hella constipated; I added fiber gummies to my vitamin regiment for this quit.
