I will argue, though, that what really killed the hype for Set Champs was the fact that the prize card, Mirabel, Family Gatherer, was and still is completely unplayable
Its card number is 89/236
UR Ultra Rare Swordsoul Sinister Sovereign - Qixing Longyuan X FIRE Level 10 [ WyrmSynchroEffect ] ATK 2900 DEF 2300 1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner Wyrm monsters If you Synchro Summon another Wyrm monster, while this monster is on the field: You can draw 1 card
Sure, it costs eight times as much and I'm not even actively pulling Genetic Apex any more, but it feels wasteful to spend this precious commodity on a far more common card
UR Ultra Rare Vision HERO Vyon X DARK Level 4 [ WarriorEffect ] ATK 1000 DEF 1200 If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can send 1 "HERO" monster from your Deck to the GY
You can only Special Summon "Superheavy Samurai Stealthy" once per turn this way
