Hi! Getting back into Yugioh and started with BEWD and the legendary modern decks 2026.
Those are cool, but to be honest the two decks I REALLY like in dueling nexus simulator are a Darklords/Solfachord deck and a K9/Vanquish Soul deck.
Both those decks cost a bit of money IRL. I’d like to buy the singles off TCGplayer or whatever, but before I pull the trigger, I’m trying to figure out how long I could expect the decks to remain viable. I understand the K9 deck is pretty meta and the Darklords is kind of off-meta/low tier.
How long could I feasibly enjoy a $200-$300 deck before it becomes something that can’t be used anymore? How often does the meta get shaken up? Like in Hearthstone,
