Now I'm one of those old retarded Yugioh players, but I've never understood the mindset of you MTG guys where you must always be buying the new cards. Every year, every new set, you must consume.
Once Konami became gay and the game changed, we all just stopped buying Yugioh cards and played with what we had from that point onward.
But MTG is constantly in a cycle of needing to buy more and more, even for people who never participate in the events (the only place you'd need the current and meta for).
Playing modern competitive Yugioh, the game is basically the Wild West and it’s not for everyone, to the point where Konami had a shareholder call because they’re having trouble getting Master Duel players to buy actual cards
I still just play with my early XYZ and prior era cards I own, and only played Duel Links when it was in that time period. Same with Legacy of the Duelist, where I've still only touched 40% of the game.
So while I can't get involved in official tournaments or any of that, I can still play with my dozen or so decks I can pass around to people (and my friends with their own shoeboxes full).
It still sounds like a "forcing yourself to always be participating in Current Thing" even if its free of money and meta needs.
Which is fine, no hate on that. Its just very foreign to us in the Other Big Card Game sphere where we hated each modern iteration so much every new game has to specify which generation and keep them all separated.
