Resources

Quite unlike other card games, Yugioh doesnt have quite as many "limited resources" in the game mechanic...

Games like Magic the Gathering have Card Advantage, but also Mana, which limits how much you can do in one turn. Also Life.


But in Yugioh, you only have 1 Normal Summon, Your cards, and your life. Nothing else is stopping you.

Even so, the normal summon isnt exactly a "limited resource" nowadays no?


Which brings us to our next point... How much life exactly is an extra card worth?

1000 LP? Clearly not. Upstart goblin has shown us that 1000LP isnt even worth +0 advantage.


People would readily sacrifice LP for extra cards... But how much LP is worth a +1 advantage to you?

Regardless of what people think, which of the following cards would YOU use?


Bloody Draw/N.Spell

Pay Half your life points. Draw 2 Cards.


Vase of Greed/N.Spell

Pay 3000LP. Draw 2 Cards.


So how much Life Advantage is worth One card advantage to you?

Regardless of the effect these cards will have on the meta/economy.

And yes, a lot of people would use both.

  1. If those two actually comes out in the form of TCG Exclusives (loads of ridiculous cards come from there, *points at Tengu*), FTK will be the meta. :D

  2. i wonder that for a long time now.
    burn cards tend to do 800-1000 damage for a -1.

    "pay half your lp. draw 2." is too broke.
    paying 3000 is better.. but i don't know how much is ok, really.

  4. basically any card that is a spell card with a lp cost would be banned for spell economics FTK kind of decks...

    but just in theory, i guess te magical number is 1600, as it's the key number that players use to identify a good burn card... I would say that of the two cards, the half of your life points is almost always better, but the pay 3000 draw two is absurdely broken, anyways. you could use 2 of them and completely replace wall of revealing light in blasting the ruins FTK.

    those cards are lp based pluses. as I see it, life points are good and all, but as long as you have 1p left, you're good to go. It's almost obvious you will pay whatever quantity of lp to draw cards, even if it was 5000, like cyber stein. It did gave you plus one in turn of lp, if you like to see it that way.

  5. I would use both without hesitation, granted I would have to use Nimble Momonga / Pot of Avarice to keep my life somewhat intact... I would truly pay any amount of life to gain control over the game so easily.

  10. like the guy said above: run 3 of each and spell economics. it's more worth running spell economics in a deck than D-hero with destiny draw :D

  11. you might not actually need to pay life points to get +cards advantage u know(points at TG librarian)

  12. yeah, but the post it's about how much lp would you pay and feel well about it to get a +1...
    as almost every +1 we have now aren't lp based anyway. tuningware,formula synchron,tg librarian, gadgets, airman, gearframe,glow up bulb, spore...
