Vanguard vs Yu-Gi-Oh

Was just talking to Cheng Wee on the Mrt on the crazy format of Yu-Gi-Oh and Cardfight! Vanguard
(Now most of us are switching from Full-Time Yu-Gi-Oh Player to Part-Time Yu-Gi-Oh player and Full-Time Cardfight Vanguard Player)

Looking back at various card games that set roots into our hearts, the ones that are now completing with each other are Yu-Gi-Oh and Cardfight Vanguard.

On this era, Yu-Gi-Oh format was (to be honest) a huge Mess due to Agent, then TGAA, and now Inzecter.
Is there no end to this bullshit?
At that very moment, Cardfight! Vanguard jump in at this very mess and most of us who are Yu-Gi-Oh  players started to direct our resources to Cardfight! Vanguard as it is a balanced. (the case of what your clan has, I also have)

Now let's look on this very obvious difference in both the card games

For Cardfight! Vanguard, literally all the cards in the booster/trial deck can be used for create a cheap clan (simple kagero/tachikaze) deck :for those who are well ahem not so rich enough to go for Expensive Clan (shadow paladin/oracle think tank) deck.
Despite under money/funds limitation, sometimes these cheap decks can beat the expensive decks.
This is due to the balance of the game. (due to standard all decks must have 16 triggers no more no less)
(the price of cards are just determined by 70% rarity and 30% eff. The cards are suitable for its own clan only and although it can be mixed with other clans, it does not caused any overpowering)

However, for Yu-Gi-Oh, not all cards in a booster can be used for a deck.
And usually the more expensive cards, are the ones that are literally splashable in any deck can caused overpowering.)

Cardfight! Vanguard really paves the way on making life simple for those who wanted to start their first card game.

Why? Because it is simple to learn and OMFG it is really killing the Konami Market.

I heard from people saying this " All those who know learn how to play Ygo first, will learn how CF vanguard in the shortest time, now ever it does not apply for vice-versa"

How true it was:

In any case, some of us in this group are currently taking a break due to the format which really screw things up. Just hope that March Banlist is better for this era. Some of us are currently focusing on CF Vanguard to pass the time. Not saying we quitting YGO or anything. It is just we gonna give it a little lesser priority.
