10 things which Konami should change

10. Utilize Strcuture Decks
This is already partly done, but I'd like to see it continue. Reprinting high-end cards in Structure decks, and also allowing newer players to get a playable deck faster.
Dimensional Prison, Mirror Force, Dark Bribe and the like, hitting the game again as commons is one of the single greatest moves Konami has ever performed.
Machina, Dark World and Fairy are good decks with a small price tag.

9. Create an Extra Deck Pack
Synchros are not cheap. Neither are Exceeds, and this should maybe not change, but all the older out-of-print Synchros should be reprinted to more easily allow newer players to build complete decks. Brionac, Catastor, Black Rose, Stardust, Colossal, Red Dragon Archfiend, Gaia Knight and the like, cards which everyone needs but not everyone has.

8. Not change the rarity of cards
Battle Fader and Solemn Warning were common in OCG, both Ultra Rare in TCG.
Dark Armed Dragon were Rare in OCG, and Secret Rare in TCG.
This is stupid, and there is no reason that can justify this.

7. Allow "non-local" Promos
Europeans also buy Shonen Jump, and they should also be able to use the promos. Differentiation between America and Europa in terms of TCG are stupid.

6. Not play favorites with Japan
OCG player can use TCG cards if they are released, right?
Wrong, only Japan has this privilege and the other Asian countries may only use them for casual play.

5. Support local card shops
A lot of local card shops aren't supported by Konami because they doesn't care. Get a hold of yourself.

4. Correct the Exceed ruling
This is only partly Konami's fault, and more of problem 1's fault. However they still hold responsibility, and this is stupid. The whole concept behind Exceed is that they are supposed to be non-abusable and flexible. If the monsters get their effect they are basically delayed Synchros, and this is not the point.
Why can't you use tokens for Exceed?
Because they can't leave the Field.
How can Tewart then declare that "xyz materials are on the field. Period. End of story."?

3. Change the priority ruling
This one is obvious. Already enforced in the OCG, it should soon enter the TCG.

2. Allow OCG cards in TCG
This one is big, and logical. WHY NOT?
It doesn't further some evil unjust cause, which Konami seems to think. As long as it is not OCG-exclusive, and has been released in the TCG, it should obviously be allowed.

1. Fire Kevin Tewart
This guy is the reason behind a lot of these stupid happenings, such as the Exceed rulings.
He has fucked the game up more than once.
Calling him a retard is an insult to people who really are.
He is some kind of huge, slimey, abomination, called forth from the Underworld to terrorize people who want a fair game.
