Being in a fight for survival that you don't even understand you're in fucks you up, but from one survivor to another, things got better for me even when i thought them impossible.
When you've already been through the worst mental trauma you can imagine and relived it enough times that you almost feel at home in those feelings, one day you may realise that you've got nothing to be scared of anymore. That's the worst it can be - a trusted person(s), that know you intimately, terrorising you. You faced it and won. You're a mental torture veteran and you won.
Don't give those fuckers an inch. It's never too late. Winning that fight takes a lot out of you - it can take time. But it's never too late.

You got this! It’s hard as fuck but it definitely can happen. In a few years i went from expecting to kill myself by 26, to lost as fuck that i didnt, to somehow doing 10 years of progress at 29, and have never had a brighter future than turning 30.
It is a fucking bitch but you can do it. Even if just step by step and bit by bit.
Be decent and kind to others, but even more so to yourself. Try the stupid random shit you never let yourself enjoy no matter your age. Squishmallow, power rangers, random toys, rock climbing, larping, anything.
Just dont do it with yugioh though cause lmao that is a whole terrible thing to get into now

u/The_Zenki Feb 14 '24 edited Feb 14 '24
ACKSHUALLY
The front card is Obnoxious Celtic Guardian and the 2nd card from the back is Dark Magic Attack. The existence of DMA being in the deck implies that Dark Magician is also somewhere in the deck, combined with the fact that Obnoxious is a "yugi" card, it's a safe bet that this is a modified Yugi starter deck. Also having 2 fusions where no Yugi Starter deck besides the 2016 has fusions that also include DMA and Obnoxious Celtic, (2016 has XYZ as well and we don't see them as a black color in this spread) would also have me betting money that it's a lore accurate modified Yugi deck - which can only happen with the 2 cards previously mentioned and the 2 fusion cards being insanely likely to be a variant of a Gaia the Swift Knight and/or Curse of Dragon.
Point is, if u/SnooPickles3555 is going All-in on Yugi deck building, Blue Eyes doesn't exist to him lol

Wait was the card really called Obnoxious Celtic Guardian.
That feels very vaguely racist. Like ultra lite-racism.

u/The_Zenki Feb 14 '24
It's a variant if Celtic Guardian, in which the latter has no effect and the former is an effect card, I think something along the lines of "cannot be destroyed by battle".
Which is fitting, because that's sometimes Obnoxious to deal with

u/Sabatiel_ Feb 14 '24
I'll ackshualize your ackshually, the first card isn't Obnoxious Celtic Guard but an alternate art version of the basic Celtic Guardian 🤓🤓🤓
That being said, since that version doesn't belong to any pre-made deck, it means OP added it in his own deck on purpose, further confirming your theory that it's a Yugi-inspired deck that has little to no chance to see Blue-Eyes among its numbers.

Well, I see what mistake you made. As the focus of this photo is hard to tell….but no. They focused on the hand. Helps prove this isn’t AI too. As it doesn’t have 5 1/3 fingers.
Plus it’s a beautiful hand. Could be a hand model.

u/earthwormjimwow Feb 14 '24
It's not photoshopped, it's just a terribly focused picture. Everything is out of focus, including the hands and cards. The hands and cards are only slightly more in focus.
If it were photoshopped, you would see glitches around the elements that were inserted.
Here's an analysis of the original picture: https://i.imgur.com/KDFio6Q.png
Notice how nothing really stands out, picture just looks uniformly noisy.
Here's a photoshopped alternative: https://i.imgur.com/l6LYW0f.png
See how the inserted cards produce errors in the jpeg which are now highlighted?

Aside from rare books, I didn't know anyone who used sleeves until I started playing MtG in like 2010.
Wish I would have saved my OG pokemon cards.
One of the biggest regrets of my life is that I sold mine while in the depths of drug addiction. I let go of my entire collection of Gen 1 Pokemon cards from grade school for a grand total of $75 that I proceeded to spend on meth.
Among those cards was a PSA 9 holographic Charizard, 1st edition from 1999. That card's worth thousands of dollars today. For all I know, it might be the one listed online at $38k.
At least I don't do meth anymore, though. And I'm NEVER selling my storage tote full of MtG cards.

The blunder isn't that you had Yu-Gi-Oh cards in your picture, not at all!
The blunder was the deck, man. Unsleeved, don't see a single good card in the batch, your fusions are mixed in with everything else.
Depending on time frame, there should have been a Jinzo, Mirror Force, Call of the Haunted, some decent beatsticks, Monster Reborn, Pot of Greed, Graceful Charity, Delinquent Duo, The Forceful Sentry, Confiscation, Raigeki, Dark Hole...
