And look what happened.
OCG players went into the world championship, played super slow, got lots of slow play warnings, and none of them ended up in top cut.
On top of this, I truly believe COVID changed TCG Yugioh. TCG Duelist stayed home and started dedicating infinite time
If you ever think YGOTCG players play slow just please go watch ANY OCG YGO matches online and you will want pull your hair out. Its absurd. I just watched a turn 1 for PURRELY take 23 minutes AND THAT IS NOT OKAY LMAO

When the company whos the largest purchaser of Yugioh products lists 'Bonefire' at $80 and quickly sells out, only to relist it at $90 and again sell out, it paints a grim picture for those hoping for more affordable cards. As long as Konami observes that consumers are willing to

Normal summon Diva is now (nib proof):
Discard 2 (or 3) from hand, 1 omni-negation (Toad), 2 s/t negation (Dragite + Mermail spell for spells), Monster eff negation (Abyssgaios), Draw 1 pop 1 (Infantry) + search 1 (Link 2)...

The first is “Hard Skill”. Hard skills, or technical skills, are learned through education or hands-on experience. In yugioh terms this would be things like deck building and execution, understanding mechanics and how the game works as
