SUPER RARE DUALITY!?! What does this mean?

Well in my days of playing yugioh I've known of cards being reprinted at different rarity's. We've seen the fall of the great judgment dragon and the fall of the powerful Dark armed dragon reduced to a mere super rare and respectively JD as a Gold rare...

Not only this but other fantastic cards have fallen in rarity over the years, fantastic traps becomming commons, powerful and beautiful secret rares like Athena, Speldid venus, valhalla hall of the fallen and so on... Now with the recent post on the Konami webiste we have seen the greatest NERF in rarity and value of a Yugioh card in a long long time. Pot of Duality, the great $120/£100 card reduced too, a super rare from a collectors tin...

OH THE HUMANITY, konami congratz why couldn't it have been solemn warning or archlord kristya, BUT DUALITY REALLY!?! I gotta say this has become I believe the fastest price drop ever, on ebay at 9am on the morning after the announcement i saw a Pot of Duality for £25!!! BARGAIN! But not really... its depressing.

So why has this happened? Well really it comes down to Konami losing too much money from the card itself, people were purposely purchasing boxes of duelist revolution and getting more money for the card than what the spent on the box! Not only this but retailer's had started selling boxes of Duelist revolution for way over the RRP! Meaning Konami we're losing money, so basically this has been a drastic move to slow this down and also the make the more wanted cards in the game more accessable for new players. Which is good i guess, but konami needs to remember that us as yugioh players want to make money so we can buy their latest products to keep our decks up to date. Duality is out dated now in the "Tengu" era because decks at the top level need to special summon so much the cost of playing it is too high that only anti meta decks have needed to play it now. Also with this release there has been speculations floating around that pot of duality in the September ban-list may be in line for restriction... making people panic, so buy your duality's whilst you can while sellers panic to get rid of them while they're still valuable, you can get a good bargain and when that ban-list comes round and Duality doesn't get hit and you have a page of POD's who's laughing then? Hahaha.

But seriously people are going mad over this but its no different to gold rare Dark Armed Dragon back in the tele-dad era and its no different to when there was a re-release of Judgment dragon or Honest as an ultra promo in a special edition box. So all we have to do now is wait for the reprint of Tour-guide from the underworld and the Gold rare solemn warning and we'll be fine :D

Thanks for reading guys I'll bring more news reviews and daily blues about yugioh in the future!

The Cynical Duelist

Nice review RoRo :D No jking.

yeah,nice review,reading about this on their site i just stood on my pc like WTFOMGLOLROFL T_T ^_^ ._. :(,yeah,really,but somehow,this wasnt all that unexpected,i mean,just look at the gold series 4 list,most if not all the common cards of the booster were super/secret/ultra on their original booster pack,still,this is a crazy stunt the one konami is pulling

History sure does repeat itself now doesn't it? It is odd to me that they re-printed duality so quickly. It took them 1 year to re-print DAD and 2 years to re-print JD? Duality is in the same case as DAD, yet the re-print is not preceded by the ban list (I can bet that Duality will not be touched with confidence). But you are right, all the yugioh merchants/ buyers are all in frenzy to do stupid decisions. Some will bargain for small profit, some won't make profit, and some are prone to lose money anyhow.
