Magic the Gathering

Oh I didn't realize Yu Gi Oh tournies don't have restricted sets. They will/should if they decide to go for a long time like Magic has been doing.

@GM-Ayu
Magic does have decks that are worth over $1000, not in standard competitive though. If you want to be a ranked pro you will need to invest thousands into a standard competitive, extended, legacy, etc. decks and be comfortable and good in all formats.
That's not necessarily something I'm bragging about, huge price tags for cards is kinda a turn-off. But Magic has been going on for a long time and as cards from the early sets no longer get printed, the cards get rarer and rarer and harder to find, thus becoming more expensive.

@Aaronock
Funny, how you have to go back FIVE-years to find overpowered restricted cards, and if I remember it was like one or two cards, Arcbound Ravager? That was doing the crazy stuff.
If I remember correctly, I was told about 1/3 of my old deck had been banned within 1-2 years of YGO. And frankly they were pretty nuts. Raigeki wtf?
I'm not saying there aren't op cards within sets. Like in Kamogawa there was that sword artifact that was gimp in draft. But I'm saying if you compare the best cards of every set, you'll still be able to rival the newest sets best cards with oldest sets best cards. It isn't like YGO where if I take a Blue Eyes White Dragon (used to be best), it now is worthless compared to the crap you don't even want in a random booster nowadays.

@Ryusuke
Mono blue ninjas?
What set is that from and what cards you use? I know some friends would be interested in a ninja theme deck, all I know is some stuff from Kamogawa and that's mostly Samurai.
