The above-mentioned "not part of the Extra Deck" thing probably means it's just not as popular.

** For that matter, what gives a duel school the authority to mass produce cards? We aren't talking about Industrial Illusions that created the game, this is just a school that can teach people how to duel. And if they can indeed mass produce them legally (say, having the rights to produce the cards, like having bought out I2) why do they need Yuya? Reiji already knows exactly how the cards work, and it's not like someone can have a patent on a type of summon (that we know of) so why not just make their own pendulum monsters if they have that option?
Added DiffLines:
*** But what keeps Yuya from going "LOL I quit" and just leaving the school in general? I mean, it doesn't appear to be mandatory to attend a dueling school as Gongenzaka doesn't attend one, and they aren't competing over forcing Yuya to join the school, they're taking the school itself. I don't really see how Yuya is in any way inclined to remain with the school if he doesn't want to, and You-Show doesn't OWN pendulum summoning, Yuya is just the only person who has pendulum monsters. He could leave whenever he wants, or just quit right before the last guy loses, so the school still doesn't get pendulum summoning.
** What I don't get is why isn't LDS being more diplomatic in their approach? I mean, they don't need the school or Yuya, as far as I can tell, they just need the rights. Why make a challenge you might not win when you could just offer Yuya a ton of money for the details on pendulum summoning? Even if he said no (which he probably would) they never even consider that approach. I mean, at least Kaiba offered to trade for the Blue-Eyes before he took it from Grandpa.
