*Yu-Gi-Oh... For some of us it's a childhood obsession, a way of life, and the greatest game ever made. For others, it's another hobby they just can't afford. Duel Monsters is some of the most fun you can have with cardboard, but with meta decks costing $100s, if not $1000s, it can be hard to decide between rent, and a side deck.

That's why for this series, LukeVonKarma and MBT will show you just how far you can stretch a dollar. They'll build decks that cost anywhere from $20 to $0.50, using real prices from real sellers, before duking it out in the battle of the budgets. This is Broke Boy Yu-Gi-Oh!*

To play, spin the wheel of the budgets to see what price you land on, then you will build a deck using TCGPlayer item prices. To find lowest price listings, scroll down to the dropdown that says "Item Price + Shipping" and instead select "Item Price Only". Add your cards to your cart, then your final total will only count the card price listings, not including shipping.

There we go

lilac tundra
#

okay mute role works

#

ty for helping me test it out

hollow lion
#

Np

dark cloud
#

50 bucks lol, this could be interesting

hollow lion
#

Youre basically a millionaire with that kinda money in this format

stoic viper
#

I have watched this series and it is enjoyable

hollow lion
#

For $5 I actually made something pretty competent

#

I made Melffy Spright Tri Brigade, but very watered down

stoic viper
#

Wow

#

That's impressive

hollow lion
#

The most expensive card in the deck was Shuraig

#

And I barely pinched a copy out

#

The melffy core is uber fucking cheap

stoic viper
#

It is

hollow lion
#

For the sprights I played 3 pixies 3 carrot 3 red

#

Becaue theyre all literally 1 cent

#

And premium negate access in a limited format is fucking insane

stoic viper
#

Jet is like a fiver right now like you are playing starter or anything

hollow lion
#

Nope

#

Just those 3

#

Theyre free extenders which double as negation

stoic viper
#

That's pretty good

hollow lion
#

And all of the melffy rank 2s are generic

stoic viper
#

How much is the tri stuff

hollow lion
#

Melffy just by themselves also give you an extremely good resource loop that supplies bodies and interruption

hollow lion
#

Oh also bearbrumm and revolt

stoic viper
#

Melffys are pretty cool

#

Isn't bear kinda expensive

hollow lion
#

The tri package was little lesd than half the deck cost

hollow lion
#

Its like $0.30

#

I was shocked

stoic viper
#

Wow

#

Man for 5 bucks this is a pretty decent deck

dark cloud
#

Core of ignisters is like 5 bucks😂 Just need to figure out the fluff

hollow lion
#

Also shuraig is fucking insane in this limited of a format

stoic viper
#

Yes

hollow lion
#

Because with the melffys, shuraig is also repeatable banishment

#

Every single turn

#

Also 3k is nothing to scoff at when you put up that much interaction

#

Also Merry Melffys is super good removal as well

#

That also tags into free negation

#

Some boards this deck can make are actually fucking crazy

#

Also I side triple Gamma Burst going 2nd

stoic viper
#

Oh that's nice

hollow lion
#

Which makes all of my melffys and sprights fucking massive

#

Also just having a free rank 2 that searches anything in the whole deck is pretty fuckin nice

stoic viper
#

Sunrise is pretty cool

#

Reborn for the whole deck

hollow lion
#

Also Melffy Rabby being a 2100 defender is a lot more relevant than you think

#

Setting rabby literally hard counters Ballpark turbo

stoic viper
#

They do be thick

hollow lion
#

Because black c squadder is 2k

#

So they cant beat over rabby

#

Also daruma doll is super nice too

#

Also a 3 material mommy is surprisingly hard to out

hollow lion
stoic viper
hollow lion
#

Thx

bitter python
#

pend viable?

hollow lion
#

For which budget

#

Because surprisingly metalfoes is only really affordable around the 5 dollar range at minimum

#

The more budget you have though the better engines you can play

#

I think zefra is doable around $10

#

The main problem with pend is the extra deck

#

The extra deck for pend can get super expensive so in this limited environment you have to really skimp out and cut corners for your extra deck

graceful ingot
#

I know the tins make beetrooper incredibly cheap now

#

I'm not sure what bracket they'd fall into

dark cloud
#

My $50 Ignister Mathmech deck. Had to cut a few extra deck cards because accesscode is super expensive. But the main Ignister engine is around 10 bucks, same with the mathmechs. Everything else made the deck around $43.72

#

Not the best deck I've built, but it works

hollow lion
#

So I feel like if you stretch the budget a lil bit, beetrooper could be a legit option

graceful ingot
#

They're all commons in the tins

#

They'd hardly add anything

hollow lion
#

fair

#

they could maybe be doable for $5

graceful ingot
#

Sting Lancer as a common goes very hard

hollow lion
#

how much is retaliating c

#

cuz that card is kinda important

#

as well as resonance

graceful ingot
#

18 and 32 cents

#

Yeah 5 dollars would be hard

#

10 would probably be doable

hollow lion
#

I know it would definitely be doable for $10

#

and that extra leeway could also get you some better non engine tech

graceful ingot
#

@hollow lion I will say with the Kitt reprint in the tins I'm sure it'll be able to fit in the 5 dollar budget

#

For your melffy deck

hollow lion
#

maybe

#

but itll be a tight ass fit

#

the main thing my deck is missing is a way to bring shuraig after spending it

#

cuz often times I will have spent my rugal

#

I'm pretty ok with my main deck

#

just that my extra deck is really constrained

#

because I cant squeeze out a 2nd shuraig

hollow lion
#

h

graceful ingot
#

New episode is 10 dollars

#

Mbt made telefon ftk

#

It looked like shit but it was still very funny

hollow lion
#

Doesnt include shipping

#

Prices for broke boy only include the listing price of the item itself excluding shipping because including shipping makes it quite lierally impossible to build any deck for this format

hollow lion
#

i sorted by lowest possible price listing

simple sphinx
