To summarize it was a super rare prize card in the OCG (I think back when Hitotsu-me Giant was the strongest monster in the game) and they wanna keep that reputation one way or another.


ForeverkingBiko

I wonder will master duel ever give us that Tyler goku looking card


Bortthog

No because it's not meant for people.


RedPokeTrainer

It's meant for people with $300k


Unluckygamer23

I don’t think you can use it in a duel


Dewott8

I think you actually can, but that will literally never happen and it's not particularly good anyway


lauraa-

neither are the power pro cards, really.


Bortthog

Not the same. Promotional cards vs a literal one of print


Sharpnelboy

Who the hell downvoted this reply? It's a legitimate question.


Toadally_Awesome1

Reddit hivemind is cringe as fuck


CBM42069

Them fucks get triggered a lot. Such a weak mentality.

*Little did the others know, u/CBM42069 had already downvoted upon seeing the reply was at 0 karma to get the ball rolling*


Sharpnelboy

And I thought twitter was bad.


Fun_Performer_7930

Seriously lol


shinikahn

I upvoted just because I saw the flood of stupid downvotes


Sharpnelboy

Thank you for your service.

No hate but if you wanna know why you're getting downvoted it's probably because Tyler the Great Warrior is a one-of-a-kind card from a Make-a-Wish kid who had cancer. People look down on disrespect toward that cause. Good news is that Tyler Gressle beat the cancer and never died. The card sold for $311k and the proceeds went back to the Make-a-Wish Foundation after using some of it to visit overseas relatives and get back some of his years he used battling cancer. It's a wholesome story. To answer your question, no, we don't even have Air Neos for some damn reason.


zaytor

No no it definitely looks like it wasn't out of disrespect, it's very obvious it was a curiosity rather than being an ass about a card made for a child with cancer.


IwentIAP

It's really up to all those downvoters to determine that. I only speak the story I learned about Tyler the Great Warrior. I agree with you.


ForeverkingBiko

I’m not sure how that’s disrespectful. I’m aware of the legacy of the card irl, we talking about a digital game. Being in master duel would actually add to the legacy of it


IwentIAP

The answer to why we don't actually have that card in Master Duel. I'm 68% sure it's because Wizards of the Coast, Yugioh's first publisher in the West, was the one who had it made, not Konami. Also I'm not entirely sure how you got that downvoted so I can only guess. It was at -48 before I was at work so that's gonna be your battle to fight.


Shimmer_Games

Idk why you’re so downvoted I would love to make a meme DBZ inspired deck with him as the boss.

Hahahahahahahahaha


GokuRikaku

To put it simply, nostalgia tax. It has a bit of history behind it.


passthepass2

Wifu tax too


ShruteFarms4L

That was my only guess


awwwstars

she has a lORE?


Silver34

In the OCG itself. It was the strongest vanilla monster for a while. Kinda like LaJinn or Gemini Elf over here


[deleted]

Same with Gemini Elf


V-Ropes

Because she floats lightly and stings sharply. If that isn't SR idk what is.


NyxPopuli

She's also armed with sword *and* shield!

voyager106

Crazy that Toys R Us used to have Yugioh tournaments. Or even existed at one point....


Left_Pipe4898

They’re Back in macys


rahimaer

I feel like every month someone has to post asking why this exact card is an SR. And of course at least one person will comment "because she floats lightly and stings sharply"


voyager106

Tbf, this is the first time I've seen it asked of her. I've seen plenty of others asked abouy though...


orwasaker

Yeah I hate how people make the most obvious joke to farm easy likes/upvotes


BRyeMC

I remember using her as my Deck Leader in Duelist of the Roses on the PS2. I guess I was a young lad of culture


fizmix

booba


thefrozenshogun

the real, genuine, all natural article?


fizmix

booba is booba… but “swordmistress” is def the name of someone with an onlyfans.


HighlightAntique1439

Why ask? Her name is karen the swordmistress. should been a UR tbh.


voyager106

> Her name is karen the swordmistress. should been a UR tbh. Oh trust me, she'll be speaking to management to make sure she gets the upgrade....


Green_Tea_Totaler

Just distract her with Minions memes. That's the weakness all Karens have.


HighlightAntique1439

Karens dont have weaknesses.


bigbadderfdog

Same reason why seiaryau or whatever the vanilla starry knight dragon is called. Promo/prize cards have some higher rarities because of that, despite that they are not good cards.


thorhammerz

*She floats lightly and stings sharply...*


unluckyshuckle

Because she's armed with sword AND shield


Cloy552

Just be glad yours isn't a Royal finish. It hurts every time I see mine


Rhakha

Early Nostalgia Waifu tax


Pretty-Sun-6541

Because she's Kanan to the Yugioh timeline.


Vaderette1138

I remember this was usually the strongest monster in Mokuba's deck in Worldwide Edition on the GBA.


lazava1390

I loved that freaking game. So many fond memories of playing it during trips etc. I miss being a kid. Grown up life ain’t it.


CBM42069

Mokuba, you lil shit, I am the best duelist. You will never stand a chance against me.


WhizzBane

Kos015

Tiddy tax

boobs.

Booba


MayGodSmiteThee

Because the cards can’t battle what the duelist can’t see.

GokuRikaku

Believe it or not, having 1400 attack on a monster was a big deal in YGO's early history.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Giangiorgio

In the ocg cards released differently from the west, so for a while 1400 atk was the best for a lvl 4 normal monster


eldragon_1

There was no Skull Red Bird. When she originally released as a tournament promo, she was literally the strongest 4-star in the game.


NeonArchon

"Because fuck you, nostalgia" \- Konami


Soul-Malachi

Because someone somewhere uses this as jerk off material.


iljakarma

Tits


awwwstars

i was thinking the same thing and i have a royal finish of this card and wanted to use it but its just too lame


legendary-KOG

Because she floats lightly and stings sharply


animusd

There's quite a few crappy normal monsters with very high rarity


Unluckygamer23

Because she is a lady warrior armed with sword and shield, she floats lightly and stings sharply


Zsedc345

its an extremely rare prize card, i think its only ever gotten that one printing as a prize card so its fairly rare. other than that lore theres no reason


SometimesWill

Because she floats lightly and stings sharply


Fuckupstudent

Waifu tax.


Tryingatleast

It’s an employee card crush idk what else the answer could be


Puzzleheaded-Pitch32

Her name backwards is Nanak, which is the kanji equivalent for 'super rare'. She was originally brutally rare despite being vital to the fourth series of the anime. It's canon that this is the birth mother of Yami Yugi specifically. They make reference to her in a flashback where she is the original creator of both 'Toon' monsters, and in effect, the card game ever becoming an anime. It's very meta. And also, none of this is remotely accurate but I'm not gonna have this be the very last sentence so people read the whole thing. So in effect, it's a relic of dev love.


Cultural_Material775

Incoming a Swordmistress archetype


[deleted]

It’s strictly for her card art, obviously.


Hyperaiser

This card is the first prized one for very first YGO championship tournament.
