Only time I have fun is playing the old DS or GBA YGO games.

I switched over to Magic the Gathering and never looked back. Great childhood memories, but it was time to move on for me

konami destroyed everything: 1. Yugioh 2. Metal Gear 3. Winning Eleven \ pro evolution soccer 4. castlevania

Is one piece an eternal format? Or rotation? If it's rotation, how does it work?

Because its prohibitively expensive and the game is an imbalanced power crept to all hell solitaire simulator that has a bunch of really unfun band aid solutions to make the game even remotely interactive. People hate the solitaire aspect, they hate the hand traps that struggle to keep the 50 card combos in check. Its lose/lose. Also as a newer player it's insufferable to try to learn a thousand cards with paragraphs of text as your opponent plays 27 cards in a turn. The anime and its popularity is the only reason this card game didn't die. It is horribly unfun, impossible to learn, and a permanently imbalanced mess that can and never will be fixed. I quit the game about a month after starting because as I learned the game I realized how fucked it was and knew it would never change

Whonami just doesn’t care

No the problem is everything has such ridiculously broken effects and you can just feild 5 broken 3k+atk effect monsters turn1 no effort

Digimon set 9 was the tipping point in bad powercreep for bandai and really change the game, I'm glad this didn't happened at least yet in OP

So I wanted to talk about this a bit. What's up with the rarity distribution in general? We know that the OCG does have multiple rarities (some unique to that region, same goes to TCG also) but overall Im focusing on cards that do not have many printings, therefore not many rarities, or are "locked" in only 1 singular rarity. E.G. Ultra only. I've noted quite a lot of Super/Ultras in main boosters/boxes but a lack of Secrets for example. Does Konami just not want to print both Super/Ultra & Secret in that booster? To add, there's some if not most booster that is entirely Super/Ultra (excluding commons). Another thing is "unique" rarities that are again, exclusively "locked" behind something: a tin (Prismatic Secret, the cross-hatch looking secret variant), or a time-frame (25th Secret). I wonder why can't they incorporate those into the main booster/boxes, make it a permanent thing (especially the cross-hatch secret), just make it like idk, 1-2 slots for the rarity distribution for those booster/boxes.

Because games are meant to be fun, nobody has fun TRYING to play and being interrupted and negated every second.

Gosh this was so helpful

Let me answer that. I used to be a teenager when the first booster sets came out. It was fun and simple then. Now, several years later, the game has become very complex with all sort of weird special summonings. Also the ridiculous tiny print on the cards! It hurts people's eyes. Who comes up with so many instructions for a single card? So yeah, this game is not very appealing for new comers or returning ones.

I left because toxic absolutely horrible fanbase with grown ass 40 year old men screaming across me from the table.

With leader ability, can I play mihawk to then play a 5 cost slash land of wano character because it would now be a 4cost?

Been playing lightsworns since they came out. The answer isn't lightsworns

Over all the only problem i see is Konami needs to simplify the game like be more direct with effects, traps n spells. Some cards have so much text on them to the point where you can't understand what to do it's somewhat confusing

funny you mentioned VG player accepting it being bad game. While in OCG, cards are getting cheaper and cheaper and very accessible, VG cards are keep getting price inflated in both ENG and JP format. OCG meta decks are at most expensive is just 100ish$, while 100$ in VG will just get you a meh tier deck. But I can see most of yu gi oh complains are from TCG sides where western Konami being predatory AF.

I love card games and yugioh but the prices turn me off from ever even trying to get into the physical card game. I’ll stay on master duel till they do something about that.

Yubel was in tier 2... a lot has changed in those 2 years

New YGO players hear my call, come to MASTERDUEL in the DUEL ROOM edit your username as it is the only way to communicate your playstyle. Username tips --> "RETRO ROOM" or "GOAT" ; "EDISON" ; "2004" ; old school ; are excellent keywords to have in you username. Create a room : Unlimited - Using obby deck. For some reasons, refresh your room visibility if nobody joins it after 30 seconds by closing it and re-opening one And have fun, collect old school cards to create your deck. --- Good luck with farming gems.

I played Yu-Gi-OH between 2003-2009. That was fun. But now its too powercrepped

I hope domain format takes off, It could breath life into the old products. That could help LGS

You know what would slay in card games? Pre-build competetive decks that are GOOD. I'm talking a more expensive 200$ or more product but you get a whole decklist from a tournament, with a lil guide inside with tips from pro players.

Thanks for the video, I was super confused when I found a Legendary Knight Timeaus and his name was in green foil.

I stepped away from ygo during COVID and was going to come back then Lorcana came out and after the game stabilized after a botched launch I love it. Decks on average are $250 with decent and different support at the local lvl. I love Yu-Gi-Oh for what it brought me in life though

I think a big part of it has to do with how the early series game is entirely different then what it turned into with link and xyz summoning. Most TCGs lean hard into their nostalgia while Yu-Gi-Oh tries to bury it. Yes I know they just did a rerun of classic sets a couple years ago but it changed nothing because of the limited supply

Very good and interesting video. Because I just stopped before valhalla cluster started i would love a secound part, to get to know what happend in the last 5 years to this game.

Really cool stuff man. As a new player getting into the game I really appreciate the breakdown. I've played a lot of card games but before I drop the $$$ I want to make sure the deck's playstyle suits me. Cheers!

My favorite part is how Trif shows up and "Maxx C"s all over us with 28 hand traps at locals.

Short answer from a guy who used to play it in the early 2000's: it has become too complicated.

I’ve been a fan of Union Arena since the game got announced, I was pissed about being locked behind a region lock so much. I had gotten the demo decks, and I’ve gotten several bunches of the Japanese cards, and now that the game is now available, we are so back

I loved yugioh as a kid, im talking dressing up, yugioh parties, etc. i tried playing the online game last year and GOD the power creep and complexity made me quit after 2 fights. It was so simple and now it feels like you need a ful yugioh phd tu understand how to play.

As late as I may be: I honestly like the older discontinued One Piece TCG way more on terms of card readability and Piracy Flourishes. Your Discard Pile being called "Ocean" for example.

I think YGO Dual Masters and the tutorial was fine then I tried one live game and got destroyed in like 2 turns by what I can only describe as an anime main character's galaxy brain chess maneuver. I decided I'm too dumb and uninstalled

They stopped trying to make banger video games to immerse yourself within the world. A story game goes a long way. Also having no anime to go along with the current cards makes releases really blend together

I would think cards having a collegiate dissertation for its ability text doesn't help.

looking at getting into the game for the first time and this video is a godsend. Do you have any opinions on the dragon deck? I heard it's super budget and performs decent but I'm not sure if it stacks up to the 'new player picks' decks thanks again for the video, awesome work

Amazing

FTPS gaming check us out

Played yugi alot, retired in 2009. Played a ton of máster duel, but Just knowing building a deck woyld cost me the down payment of a car, i looked over pokemon, which is cheaper and alot of fun

Plaralel On a side note, I miss all all the cards I had as a child.

I haven’t been playing the game for about six years now but I would buy your structure decks so fast

Hahaha Konami is such a shit show. Great video!!

its just to confusing bro, even for me who has played alot holy crap its just to crazy

No

Yu-gi-oh cant get new players because they power crept people out of the game. The original game was a very easy concept. Now there's so many different types of decks with their own difficulties - and that a player on their first turn can take 5 minutes setting themselves up.

What i have LOVED about pokemon TCGP is that for deck building, i can get what i need pretty easy. And opening packs from then on is just for cool ass cards

They should copy pokemon and MTG strategy of including digital codes for packs in their physical products. It would work as an advertisement for Master Duel and also incentive buying physical products

What call of duty and modern yugioh have in common? A single player campaign 🤣 Call of duty: modern yugioh solitaire 17 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
