"What does that word mean?!"
<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>
Ouch. I'll stick with Pokemon TCG.
Casual play isn't that bad. The game is only even remotely that expensive when you get decks that hit top tier, because then people buy them so they can win, and supply & demand does its thing.
<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>
Mhm. Or I can help you test it on a sim.

Nice. ygoprodeck.com/card-database/deck-prices
You should show me your deck. And if you have a card shop nearby, Eraser really is OP against swarms. I just wish they'd archetype upgrade like they did with archfiends and make the Wicked Gods Divine so Bound Creator could search them.
I can take a minute and type up all the cards I'll be running in the tournament if you want.

That sounds pretty cool.
It's cool if you're one of the guys out there who can afford/be lucky enough to get their hands on a deck that costs upwards of $500. Playing against it sucks unless you are also playing against it.

The Fabled cards used to do that too, but even if half of them weren't banned the Link system would render them useless. This stupid ass update to the game made any deck from Arc-V backwards practically unplayable unless it already relied on Monarch cards and no Extra. I remember there being decks that could get out three Shooting Quasars in the first turn with Fables.
I had a friend who could get double Quasars turn 1 with about 75% consistency. But yeah, the game is usually busted, but the periods where the meta involves a triangle of elites, where 3 decks are the best, and those in rogue tier still have a shot are the best formats objectively.

If you're expecting to go against Spyral, if you have Double Helix and Ghost Reaper & Winter Cherries you can shut down their deck. Maxx C also breaks Drone's affect.
If you don't already, Cyber Dragon Nova and Infinity (if they aren't banned) and Chimera-Overtech would be good to have. Alternatively, if you don't mind not using an Extra Deck now that they're utterly useless anyway with the Link system, some monarch support cards and Wiched Eraser could counter any swarm deck, SPYRAL included.
I wish I owned one, but the game isn't worth the cost of some of these hand traps to me. I own a Ghost Ogre that I got back when they were cheap, but other than that, it costs so much to get the handtraps because demand is so high.
Nova and Infinity are must haves for me. A friend is lending me his for the tourney, since he's playing a Herald of Perfection deck and won't need them.

Why is it good?
Also, nice shady link.
It combos with certain other cards in the deck so well that they can usually, with only 5 cards on their first turn, make a field of monsters that would take anyone else 10-20 cards of resources and turns of time to make, if they even could. The card is an enabler for some infinite loop hocus pocus that puts the deck so far ahead of every other decks curve.

The best counters to it from what I've seen are a Full Crystal-Beast deck and a Perfect E-Heroes deck. You could probably get away with a Stardust Warriors too, if you choose some good Pendulums and have all the right Synchrons. Alternatively if you have a Sacred Beast or Gods deck with three Mound of the Bound Creators and March of the Monarchs you'd have a good shot. If Hazy Flame had more support it would be perfect but they only have enough cards for maybe half a deck. Artifacts would also do well if supported correctly. A mix of the three Six Samurai archetypes might be good too.
Trickstars are also good as an anti-meta option.

I had a perfect Chaos Dragons deck that used the Dragon-Lords and them getting banned dropped my win rate from 100% to around 30%. All the good chaos cards that could be in their place are either not dragons which ruins half the deck's supports, or are banned.
The banlist isn't a only a tool for game balance, it's also for motivating players to buy new decks as the old ones become playable. I'm just glad Kozmo has gone as long as it has with only Dark Destroyer being limited.

What card?
<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>
The meta is ALWAYS fucked. They ban good cards the week after they come out and reallow cards that were banned years ago practically daily. They gave Red-Eyes a massive expansion and then banned two of the cards needed to run it, then did the same with Blue-Eyes. They banned the Dragon-Lord babies, then limited the Dragon-Lord adults, then banned the adults and legalized the babies, which are entirely useless without the adults.
The only still runnable decks are Sacred Beast, Exodia normal monsters, a much weakened Chaos Dragons, Sophia, Nekroz, or Odd-Eyes. MAYBE Q if they've changed the ban list recently. Elder Gods aren't even out yet in TCG and they're already half banned and the ultimate card that they all link to is already limited.
This is true. The only reason I'm going is because some friends asked me to, and since I play Kozmos, I don't think I'll do THAT badly.

Just because you're salty doesn't mean I'm not in the in crowd.
<Snipped quote by Balance>
I think that's a bit of an exaggeration.

I'm not a spy!
Personal insults don't help.
