Well as most of you may already know allot of good cards have been made common and the new Jinzo tin really set the bomb off for me. I see things from both ways of the spectrum but what I am really talking about is what is the point of making some really good cards common and others not. And have you ever noticed it is the really good cards that are made in to commons although the only secret rare ever made into a common sucks you really got to wonder what is next? Will there be common magic cylinders and mirror forces. I mean I can tell you why upper deck did this and the reason for that is because lets say you just started out yu-gi-oh trading card game you do not have allot of money and want to become a good player with some good cards and you hear about this jinzo it is the only thing you want at the time it is o cool it could really make you a better player. So you go to the card shop and then you see this jinzo it is 40 dollars and that is what you have worked to save up for. Then you see a tin including 5 more packs for the same price and could use a few card out of the packs and it comes with jinzo automatically. What would you honestly but I would buy the tin. But isn't upper deck loosing money by doing this and the answer to that question my friend is no. Ok here is an example : Jinzo is 40$ alone unlimited edition. So lets say upper deck sells 10 forty-dollar jinzo (not the tin alone). and then they come out with the tine and they sell 25 forty dollar tins to people they are making more money on the tin and the cards a a simple piece of recycled cardboard that cost a nickel for a pack of cards or less so to the card companies it is all about sails but they have to make money and I can understand that.
But really the point that I am trying to get at is isn't the whole point of yu-gi-oh to get the rare cards you need if and feel good after all of the work to get the card you wanted. I am not trying to make this another article you see on pojo.com about rich kids getting cards but if you are going to go and make all of the popular selling cards starter deck common and tin cards then just do it to all of them. Because I saved up 65 dollars for my 1st edition jinzo and now it makes me mad to see that you can buy a stupid tin for 40 bucks at the card store. And I saved up for 3 mystical space typhoons when it first came out and when it came out in the Pegasus starter deck I am so mad at that not to mention magic jammer do not get me started on that one. But really though what it is all about is just them making money off you. But if I see more and more I see becoming commons I think just make everything common.
