#4: Delinquent Duo
First TCG release: Magic Ruler (2002-09-16)



This is the second member of my PERSONAL TRINITY of Life Point cost cards: cards that I personally pulled and once thought werent a big deal or just bad as a kid but now have grown to love now that Ive seen the light. In fact I may have gone the other way a bit too much because I love spending life points now. Just make it rain life points and become a rambling gambling dude as that one trainer would say.

One of my early Magic Ruler pulls, I did like the art but it avoided my deck for a long time because of aversion to spending my life but I found enlightenment years later when I was out of the game and somehow got into a conversation with some friends who had played competitively before and a whole new world was opened to me: I was out of the cave! My Imperial Order had long been traded away but I still had the other two cards which would go on to become 2 of the now-famous and historically relevant Holy Trinity.

One of the more infamous cards through the games history and its actually entirely because of the TCG itself. It never had an anime appearance but it had quite the reputation among the actual playerbase. And god damn this card is broken. If you draw this in your starting hand and youre going first, you can just win from that turn because the advantage you generate by immediately having your opponent start off with two less cards is just too much to overcome. Funny enough I still never got a chance to play this in a deck because its been banned for forever now.

Still got the one I pulled and thats a big part of the reason why Imperial Order lags behind the other two in my rankings. Ill be looking to get a 1st ed too soonno matter the cost.

Pretty sure I still have my Delinquent Duo (along with a bunch of other Super/Ultra rares). I know Pokemon cards have been dominating all the collector talk, but is there renewed interest and value in YGO cards as well?

I want to follow up on the dub Kaiba's amazing one-liners, and the mock duels the voice actors have, and share this duel between Kaiba vs. Joey (with Tristan cheering) and the 2012 YuGiOh Nationals which is hilarious and amazing:

"Not so fast, Wheeler. I activate Negate Attack! Now I know this might be a difficult card for you to understand so let me explain its effect. Your attack.. is negated."

yeap the Pokemon hype affects YGO as well to some degree just because it's another big card game. currently not as high (and probably won't ever be?) as 2020 levels aside from the inevitable exceptions but among other factors scalpers/flippers who are just trying to make money move from one TCG to another

but if you're looking to sell your old cards, unless they're 1st edition and near mint condition, you are not going to see any of that big money. The value really starts going up when you get them graded though so if it doesn't even look like it has a chance of getting a good graded score it honestly might not even be worth the effort to sell.

like if i knew my 1st ed psv Jinzo was guaranteed to get a 10 and i could sell for 1k+ i would consider it but honestly unless i'm in financial trouble the collector value it has to me is not worth selling for less.

Figured as much, thank you. I talked to Chris about getting my beefiest Pokemon cards (I have a 1st edition Dragonite that *looks* like it's in great condition) graded, and he encouraged me to do so.

Then I looked into it, and demand for the most popular grading agency (PSA) is so feverish that they've abandoned all but their most expensive services. It costs a minimum of $200 to grade one card. Really.

yeah they were forced to partly because people were sending in like everything to get graded from flippers just buying up packs and boxes and sending off all the foils to people who played like 20 years ago sending in their dinged unlimited Blue-Eyes. caused enough of a backlog for them to stop taking submissions altogether and people who sent their stuff in before that are not going to see their cards returned for months if not a year+

#3: Silver Fang
First TCG release: Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon (2002-03-08)



I really wish I had some epic story of personal significance that explains my attachment to this card but its laughably simple and its just because I really liked wolves. I did a research project in the third grade and about the time I read about how they hunt in packs and how they can travel up to 30 miles a day for food (NEVER GIVE UP), I just got super into them. I instantly became a Minnesota Timberwolves fan despite living in Los Angeles (heh), Cassie became my favorite Animorph (this didnt last long), and I considered city-wide protests concerning the egregious portrayal of them in fairy tales which would have resulted in demands to stop their spread to the public.

So yeah then Yugioh became a thing and this card, so simple yet so beautiful I latched on to. As Karen once said, Strong [cards]. Weak [cards]. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled [duelists] should try to win with their favorites. Not that I ever used it in a real deck outside of casual videogame play against AI but I liked the idea of having a personal weak card you were just attached to in addition to your typical strong favorites.

If you look up its anime appearances, most of the time its just used as set fodder and destroyed the next turn. But I mean what can you expect, it has laughable stats and no effect. Its all aesthetic baybeeeeeeee.

ps if you have a 1st ed LOB or 1st ed LCYW in NM hit me up

#2: Red-Eyes B. Dragon
First TCG release: Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon (2002-03-08)



Blue-Eyes was king but I did like underdogs so Joeys signature monster was really the one that captured my heart. That fucking screech when its summoned AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

The only things holding it back is the B in its name. Why cant they just say black

Sadly I never pulled a legitimate LOB and ended up buying the copy I currently have as a single. So fucking cool though. Its SO FUCKING COOL.

it's the #1 pick that everyone saw coming!

#1: Injection Fairy Lily
First TCG release: Legacy of Darkness (2003-06-06)



The last member of the Holy Life Point Trinity of Eternal Knowledge and Doom and my favorite card of all time. Honestly it was pretty close between this and Red-Eyes but personal pull history pushed it over the edge. This card has a bit of everything Ive been talking about through the list. It has the aforementioned personal pull history, its got the rarity, its got competitive viability on its side, anime presence and it can GET BIG. ABSOLUTELY HUGE. HUMONGOUS. GIGANTIC. GARGANTUAN. TITANIC.

And thats it for my list! Thanks for revisiting all this shit along with me.

Ohh, I know this card. I like its design because it's adorable, but I never actually used it. Thanks for running this topic! It's been fun and interesting and it inspired like half a dozen B8ers to do their own takes.

As for mine, since I 'played' Yu-Gi-Oh through Forbidden Memories, Duelist of the Roses, and Capsule Monster Colosseum (which had wacky but simple rules compared to the TCG, I love the fusion system in FM though), and I read the manga, I suppose it's something like...

(not necessarily in order)
  1. Mystical Elf
  2. Mystical Sand
  3. Nekogal #2
  4. Change of Heart
  5. Dark Elf
  6. Flame Swordsman
  7. Crimson Sunbird
  8. Curse of Dragon
  9. Flame Cerebrus
  10. Monster Reborn

I think it'd be pretty hard to think of an actual list of all the cards overall for my favorites, but some of my favorite cards in general have to be the Madolche monsters. They're really cute, I love the dessert theme, and their unique effect of never being sent to the Graveyard is really cool. They're also just really solid and consistent cards that are fun to play because of it. I just love them.

That's one of the best lines in the entire franchise. It's really telling that even The Abridged version of that scene falls short of that savagery.

I love the Kaiba talk because it's reminding me of my one intersection with Yugioh

Of course watching the original anime series and Kaiba was the greatest, and I don't know if anyone remembers the "Power of Chaos" computer games that came out in like, 2003, 2004? the 2nd game in the series was Kaiba's and had you playing against him, had the English voice actor and it was classic Kaiba. So I got and played that game, tried the 1st game in the series (Yami Yugi game where the cards available were so bad, it really made playing unbearable), and then 3rd game was Joey's, again using the Joey voice actor which was great. And also introduced some more cards but again, we're talking real early in the Yugioh cycle so even missing lots of early stuff. No Injection Fairy Lily for example!

To this day I still dust off the Joey game occasionally, but really just to beat up the A.I. with my Exodia deck. I got a FTK one time and wonder if I could ever pull it off again...

-Draw: 3 exodia pieces, Sangan, Graceful charity and Solemn Judgement
-Graceful: 4th exodia piece and dark hole, discard third card and Solemn
-Play Sangan, use dark hole

so beautiful...

Man, it's hilarious how the concept of a "big investment" has changed since our childhood years (teenage years for me, but still). I still think a starter retailed for more than $10 in bougey ass SoCal, but if they were really that cheap, I should have saved up to immediately buy three Yugis. That would immediately get you

3x Summoned Skull
3x Wall of Illusion
3x Man-Eater Bug
3x Fissure
3x Trap Hole
3x Waboku

Those alone would have set you up with a decent deck throughout all of 2002.

I also remember starter decks being more, but I can completely believe I just had no concept of what expensive was as a kid. Also, $10 then was a bit more than $10 now.

Just caught up with the last few writeups. Injection Fairy Lily is a great #1 pick, cool card with an interesting (and useful) effect. For some reason I was convinced that Injection Fairy Lily was one of the cards censored for the US release and even remembered that being the reason the wings on the front of her outfit look so goofy, but looking into it now it seems like I... totally imagined that! The wings were just always goofy. Weird.

Ah Injection Fairy Lilly! I have memories of that card! I went to a Saturday tournament at our local Books-a-Million and drug my sister along because it was a doubles tournament. We were doing great and crushing people(I basically just played both decks, telling my sister exactly what to do lol) until we came up against two try hard probably rich kids, and they pulled out double IFL against us and completely annihilated us. I was dumb struck and kept reading the cards over and over because they were just so incredibly broken to me. I never went to another tournament there lmao.
