Really what were they thinking?-Dark Warrior
  I got bored today and decided to read the whole Tips, News, etc., for October when I came across a string of Dark Beginnings. Now one article really got to me to thinking. I'm a great duelist who has taken on the best of the best in his store and has ridden the waves of their power while they left out of boredom. Dark Beginnings destroys the true skill of an upcoming duelist. All of us have hunted, traded, bought, and used our wise judgment to get the most sought after cards in the game to make a great deck. This is how you play Yu-Gi-Oh a person has to buy their cards, play Russian roulette (1 bullet in a six-shooter, spinning the barrel and taking a chance pulling the trigger) and see if they get their powerful card they need for their deck or junk for bonfire pile, make a deck, try it, fail or rule, buy more cards, edit their deck, rinse and repeat.
 
    The fact of the matter is that UDE is trying to make massive profit while killing this game's challenge and skill, by basically handing any n00b/beginner/whiny 5 year-old with Chinese cards or whatever you like to call them, with the almighty dollar the cards he needs to win. With the greatest of ease a n00b can buy in a week the whole set of Exodia all the control cards (Delinquent, Forceful, Confiscation, Don...), and every other card sought after and called scared in the game. What's worse is that most of the cards they will have no idea how to use. They'll be spending 20 minutes staring at Pot of Greed saying... "how many cards do I draw?" Its TWO you little rocket scientist!!!!! Now I love a test of skill but Dark Beginnings is where I put my deck down and draw the line.
 
    I absolutely resent the fact that these people will now longer have the chance to work for their cards. I remember my old days playing 3 Solemn Wishes and the Card Destruction/Gate Guardian combo ... so young ... so incredibly stupid I was back then ... but I learned from my mistakes and became a better duelist. I went from an undefeated 5-7 games a night to mastering the game with an average of a 4 win to 1 loss ratio. I believe that this new expansion will rob the new players of learning how to make use of what they have, and not what they can get for a few dollars. To the truth, I know this ranting doesn't matter complaining about the honor of the game in releasing this travesty.....
Oh well we have to do what we always do adept, as always, to the foolish choices of Upperdeck.
