I'm sick of this "it's a children's card game" mentality you do realize the people that have won every YCS this past year have been at least 18? and that was the one young mexican pretty sure the rest are like 21-22... there may have actually been one very young player that won out of the what... 15 regionals?
Yes it is expensive, but what are you on about Duality? It came out in 2 different tins. You were guaranteed to get it. I picked up 3 tins for that reason. I draw the line at Tour Guide being over 200 half a year ago, I got lucky and pulled one from a booster when I was trying to run Karakuri, but still.
Everyone is harping about: "Oh this format is so bad there's no skill it's so herp derp..." No that was the end of last format when everyone ran Agents and a single deck dominated everything. It's been a long time since we had such a diverse meta.
Dino Rabbit
Wind ups
Inzektors
Chaos Dragons
Sub decks that still bring it:
Heros
Dark World
We have 4 really top notch decks and 2 decks that can definitely hold their own in one format this is refreshing to me.
As for the Meta, just like in Beyblade we brought something back that was wrecking things originally and nothing changed. I believe that's what Konami tried to do with BLS. It's still busted as all hell, but there are worse things to go against CED + Yata-Garasu spring to mind. Long long time ago there was a mid point ban added to the list because of how crazy broken it was in Japan. Time Seal + Tsukoyomi + Mask of Darkness + Victory Dragon. BLS is horrific there is no doubt it has too much power, It's easy to bring out, and it's effects have very little drawback.
That said I'm glad to see they tried something new, though they were profit hungry in that they had a chance to hit overpowered Inzektors and such with the timing of the banlist and didn't. So good with the bad I suppose.
