Welp, Yugioh is dead in my area...

N'dthihsh, wooh s'kur?
So, any Yugioh-heads out there know, it's rough in the game, right now; we're in a very unpopular meta, one which is going to be getting worse with the next set: the price of the cards are going up substantially, making casuals like me who can't afford to buy into these expensive decks feel left in the dust; and as a result, people are leaving in droves for games like Lorcana or Pokemon or One Piece. I recently just learned that my local card shop (not an OTS; they applied but never got a response) is thinking of dropping the game, entirely, because of these issue, and one other: the people who DO stay behind for the game are so few and far between, and are royal assholes, complaining about the set they were given a box of for a prize for their last tournament, pissing off the tournament holder, as a result. Because of this, the game's essentially dead in our area, and thanks to other expenses, we can't make it out an hour's drive to the nearest OTS, either.
So, this leaves us in a bit of a pickle: do we quit the game, entirely, and if so, where would we offload our decks and cards to, to ensure we get our money's worth, but not burden our local store? What would we keep for sentimental value, if anything? What would we do, afterward? All tough questions to figure out, but hopefully, once my roommate gets back from AC, we'll have a way to answer those.
