							 I like to throw a little bit of everything in 
							when I pick a week, so we look at a Trap today.  
							Remember Pot of Avarice?  It's back--in jar 
							form!  Jar of Avarice is a Normal trap very 
							similar to the aforementioned Pot.  The Pot, as 
							you may recall, is Banned currently.  Pot lets 
							you Target five Monsters from your Graveyard, 
							shuffle them into the Deck, and Draw two cards.  
							Jar, lets you Target 5 cards in your Graveyard, 
							shuffle them into the Deck, then Draw one card.  
							So this is a break even, as opposed to the +1 of 
							Pot, but it also forbids you from shuffling Jar back 
							into your Deck in the five cards you select.  
							You're only allowed to use of these a turn, which is 
							good I suppose, but seems unnecessary, as even three 
							in a turn would only be a break even...regardless of 
							the amount used in a turn, only getting one card 
							from the Deck per, you still don't gain any true 
							advantage, but the five recycled cards should help 
							plenty, as had been illustrated by Pot.  Solid 
							enough Draw option, recycling is good...I don't see 
							it totally exploding and changing the game.  
							Some will use it, others won't. 
							  
							Rating:  3/5 
							Art:  5/5

							 I remember when Pot of Avarice (the card that Jar 
							of Avarice is derived from) came out.  I had 
							long-ish hair, The Doors t-shirts, listened to Led 
							Zeppelin all day and was basically a little 14 year 
							old hippie.  Anyway, around that time, 2005 I 
							think, when Pot of Avarice came out, public opinion 
							of it leaned toward mixed and slightly positive 
							reviews.   
							  
							There was no doubt that recycling your monsters and 
							drawing 2 cards was a good effect, but it was a 
							slower format where it took a degree of patience to 
							get 5 monsters in your graveyard (so PoA was dead in 
							hand early game).  Also, they had reservations 
							against fattening their deck when thinner decks were 
							promoted as the best kind ; this was before 
							late-game grind became an issue.  But then 
							Yugioh sped up so much, many decks could use Pot of 
							Avarice on their 2nd turn, plus off of it and re-use 
							certain combos again. 
							  
							But with Jar of Avarice, it's a very balanced but 
							also a very good card.  It's a trap card so 
							that you don't get the immediate draw.  And you 
							only draw 1 card instead of 2, so it's not an easy 
							plus but is still, at the very least, revenue 
							nuetral.  Now onto the good side: you can 
							return Spell/Trap cards too if you want.  And 
							since you can set it as a trap, it works as a 
							chainable bluff.  The best thing about this 
							card is that almost any deck can use it.  
							Granted, some decks don't want to lose their 
							graveyard advantage, but high tier decks like 
							Burning Abyss might want to cycle through their 
							Graff/Scarm/Cir again - and low tier decks like 
							Gustos and such will get what they need too.  
							  
							It'll never be broken but it'll be a useful card for 
							years to come. 
							  
							4/5

							 Hello Pojo Fans, 
							  
							Jar of Avarice may not be the same as Pot of 
							Avarice, but it is one of those traps you may be 
							seeing in almost any deck.  
							  
							Instead of just monster, Jar of Avarice allows you 
							to target any 5 cards in your grave (minus Jar 
							itself), shuffle them back, then draw a card. This 
							allows you to cycle back spell/traps, which Pot 
							couldn't, however you can only activate one “Jar of 
							Avarice” per turn and draw 1 not 2, unlike Pot. 
							While the restriction of cycling back “Jar of 
							Avarice” was made to prevent you from cycling this 
							card back directly after activation, it also 
							prevents previously activated copies from returning 
							from the grave to your deck.  
							  
							Decks throughout the game need a card like this. No 
							deck is entirely reliant on the graveyard. Making 
							Pot of Avarice into a trap and dropping the draw 
							power by 50% gives players a chance to run up to 
							three of this card (for now) to cycle back key cards 
							into their various decks, get a card for doing so, 
							and regroup. Jar being a trap as well helps you 
							respond to your opponents moves if they decimate 
							your field, or attempt to banish something in your 
							graveyard.
