Hand Traps and Negations have helped to ruin the game.

Max c should be a 3 to make more decks that bank on different strategies plus with nibiru control decks would come around more

What happened to the 2018 recap?

one could say the DAD decks were the. father of a new metagame

Nice and cool video

2011 was peak yugioh.

I absolutely LOVE this series, since hardly ANYONE is doing this especially so structured and professionally ❤❤❤

And people say 2023 and 2024 had the worst Tier 0 formats. Reminder, we had similar situations before. But like all tier 0 formats, they come and go. They can’t last forever

Ah the ancient era of yugioh 😌. Back when we only had monsters, traps, spells and fusion monsters.

I enjoyed this. However god I hate how heroes were so underwhelming but damn I will always love them.

Goat not top tier is craaaaaazy. Perfect circle is almost top tier imo.

Ahhh cyber morphing jar giving me PTSD 😓 some users on Stairway to Destined duel used it absurdly too much istg

Oh dear God Jinzo 😓 you either loved it with all your heart or went oh motherfucker here we go

Walls are great but every fucking time I put up a Jirai Gumo and im like 'Great this will buy me a turn or two' they sacrifice the card I wasn't able to immediately kill for some OP shit that attacks me like a summoned skull 🤣🤣🤣

meadowlands format is the last time i played ygo and i hope it becomes a third pillar so bad as a Former Ehero beat/miracle and dragunity palyer

The take on Dragon Link didn't age well

God bless Law for pronouncing recital starling correctly

I miss old school yugioh. I cut it off at 2005. I hate modern yugioh,its so soulless now. I hate how often they attempt to desecrate the old game with errata text and "retrain" cards. They could just print old sets with pre errata texts and it would sell but they only did it for some sets and with errata text. LOB, MRD, SRL (should be MRL), PSV, and only in some limited capacity LON, DCR, and a bit more widely available IOC. They completely skipped LOD and PGD and also MFC... Which are very important old school sets. Anyway, the old game is still alive and infinite times better than the modern crap.

love these man super interesting and informative, appreciate your hard work

@TheLawYgo what’s the song that plays during Circuit break?

What is the song that plays in the background of the maximum crisis part starting at 36:11 ?

The zoo format was a very fun tier 0 format. There have been some very bad tier 0 formats with zero creativity but zoo was very creative with different varients you could do and was actually very interactive.

Can't wait for 2018! My deck will be in the top cut of YCS Memphis! :D

I just dont like preformapals bc they look gay

You should do something similar also for master duel. It would be amazing to see the different formats of the game

The diablosis jump scare really got me

I hate the Fact that During this Entire Format. My Favorite Archetype, D/D/Ds were constantly being pushed to the Background…. And that Just Genuinely Sucks!

MR4 was legit one of the worst decisions in the game, holy.

See, this one was fun because I remember opening a lot of these things in college, when I was actually trying to be competitive.

Great

I think there's a weird focus on price and T0 formats for a look on *retro* formats. Those aren't the main factors in retrospect.

Couple days before I can watch this. I usually prefer to binge on these while traveling.

I hope you update your duel links playlist for pendulum era.

2017 had Zoodiac. 2018…oh boy.

I actually really love the Mewdowlands format.

Of note: Ruler format is what many would consider a “tier 0.5” or “pseudo-tier 0” format, wherein there are 2-3 decks that are functionally tier 0 and only held back by each other. 3-deck 0.5s are incredibly rare, but Ruler and Spellbook were insanely dominant and this is likely what people refer it to as a tier 0 format for. Many disagree with the 0.5 term entirely, but I do think it’s a good way of encapsulating formats like release Rulers.

Idk if I missed something but abc got completely knocked out of the meta without a banlist as soon as zoo dropped? Crazy

Not me building 10+ retro decks that we played back in 2011-2013 This channel is a gold mine for me!!
