oof these prices are wild, thanks for the info! (and like you said... a ""good"" problem to have, means the game is popular right now) also FYI the devs have confirmed that Re:Collection is pronounced reh-collection! just bringing this up bc it sounded like you were saying Ari Collection 😂 and there likely will be an Arisanna Re:Collection in the future
@@waterpixieva exactly! A great problem to have. So much better than seeing an over saturated singles market that have NO value. This proves the utility of the cards in the game, for playability and collectability. My hope is that the devs ease their way into increasing print runs and don’t overdo it like we saw with FTC. I doubt that happens a second time. Also, thank you! I was always back and forth with the pronunciation and just stuck with the one I liked more 🤣. You got me, I will start the Reh way!
I just started in june so im feeling the pain of expensive alc and mrc, so i just bought 8x of every common and 8x of every uncommon a d 4x of every rare and the price was pretty reasonable in comparison. Shout out to high rarity games on tcgplayer, hope they're not too pissed at me
@@stanleyk291 thanks for sharing! That’s a very smart decision! Right now, buying singles is the smartest way to go about it. Researching, knowing which deck you want to build and buying the singles. The risk of opening boxes at this price point is too high. lol. I bet they’re like..what in the world…this is like 100 cards 🤣. Did you get any starter decks or Re:Collection boxes?
im just now getting into the game and i got the silvi and tristan box's and want to make a Nico deck. the game seams really fun and diffrent from the others i used to play competitive yugioh and the reson i quit was the prices and seiing thst this game is also following that rabbit hole kinda is making me not want to play before i even started. like the nico deck i came up eith is like $500 for the lowest cost competitive cards and im not sure if i actually want to start playing anymore
Thanks for sharing your experience so far and welcome to the GA community! Those Re:Collection boxes are the best kits to get. The decks are competitive out of the box, which is rare in the TCG realm. I definitely understand what you are saying. Paying $300 for a top tier deck doesn’t feel so great. I think the great thing about GA is that a lot of these expensive cards that are commonly used in the most competitive decks (Dungeon Guide, Temporal Spectrometer, Quicksilver Grail, Grand Crusader Ring, Gildas, etc) are normal type element cards. Which means no matter how the meta shapes up or whatever new champions are added to the game, those cards will still be viable in the newest decks. There will be an initial investment for sure, but I think picking and choosing which champion you want to build out and how you want to build them out for the competitive meta is extremely important. It will help the money go farther when we have clarity on what we are trying to accomplish, which I’m sure you know coming from competitive Yu-Gi-Oh. What I love about GA is that it’s so new that there are many strategies not yet fleshed out which people with experience, like yourself, may be able to put together and blow the scene away. Another great thing is that the company is aware of the growing pains and lack of affordable singles on the market. The next set coming out in October will have some of these competitive cards reprinted! Dungeon Guide being one of those reprints, that we were already informed of by the leadership team. Apologies for the essay here 🤣. I feel you on that the cost though. I am being very strategic on where I am placing my money in the game for utility and strategy. Singles seem to be the way to go rather than sealed boxes at the moment.
That’s great to hear! The early adopters of GA are for sure being rewarded right now. All the staple cards are expensive right now. It’s great to hear the update made yesterday of Dungeon Guides being reprinted in the next set (AMB) launching in October 2024. Have you competed in any tournaments with your decks??
@@thekingscardboard Just me for a moment, but I gave my brother a Silvie Starter Deck, and a Silvie Re:Collection Deck, though he has other card games on his mind. I have been watching some True Champion Gaming.
@@soulofkalmah1769 I hear that. Our community started from 0 people and has grown now to about 15 regulars. It took a LOT of intentionality and demos for new players. One of our local community members of GA really took it on himself to build from 0 to now. True Champion Gaming puts out legit content. They’re definitely at the top of the competitive game scene right now!
Yes, you are correct! Which is why FTC had that little incident with the market dump. Thank you for bringing attention to that. I should have used different terminology, what I intended to communicate was across TCG’s that sealed cases of booster boxes typically yield a wider range of cards than purchasing individual booster boxes. This doesn’t make the cases mappable, this slightly increases the odds of pulls in a limited regard.
