Japanese ARISTO playing cards - thoughts

Unread post by That Filthy Casual »

Say everyone, has anyone come across this deck before?

Made in Japan, apparently. Can't say I've seen too many decks made in Japan. Has anyone come across this deck before and, if so, care to say what the quality was like? I've seen it for cheap somewhere, but worried that I'm just throwing money at rubbish.

I see plenty of these on zenmarket - both in yahoo auctions japan and mercari japan - not seeing the type of flood that says they are cheap because they are plentiful, more like they are cheap because they are not coveted - I would imagine a mundane deck

none of the sellers had much to say about it - which one would expect if they were “special” to any of them

seeing $5 a deck, $35 a brick


There might be some high quality japanese cards out there though - and for all we know these could use the stock I am thinking of - from Legends year of the ox deck (and they have used this stock on others that I remember…)

As for made in japan decks - I have a few older decks, none of high quality

Thanks for the response.

However, sorry as I'm still new to this game, but what you do you mean by not coveted? :?
I tried searching on google, but didn't get any results explaining.
