Today, a well-known and less-respected TCG company has announced sweeping changes to beloved classic formats, which famously didn’t hurt anyone and didn’t require a small loan to start playing. The changes – which include such head-scratchers as making your cards not work like they used to or increasing the power of floodgates – have received widespread negative feedback.
Some players are resorting to the primary weapon of a disgruntled customer – calling the faceless company names. The second-strongest insult used by the community seems to be “braindead”. Unfortunately, since we are a highly esteemed publication, we cannot print the strongest insult on the list. The Reddit post announcing this change received a large number of upvotes and was the sixth most popular post of the day, behind other valuable discussions like the Rush Duels banlist and something titled “What if Tristan and Téa dueled in Duelist Kingdom.”
This change is especially surprising as the TCG company is launching a reprint set, with the only valuable cards being the ones played in the beloved classic formats. The same ones that have just been killed. Some have theorized that the controversial move was done to increase sales, as the upcoming set will print cards with the new, stupider text, and players might feel pushed to buy the new cards to replace their old ones. This is wrong, actually, as the real reason was that the TCG company just remembered there was a last bit of joy in players’ lives that it could still kill.
