​@@Saiyangoddess72 it was nice to see Convulsion of Nature get a reprint, It really needed it.

[@Kylora2112]

It wasn't an erratum. It was just a "no one ever read the rulebook" interpretation of the effect that prompted Mattel to clarify the official rulebook. Wild Draw 4: "This acts just like the wild card except that the next player also has to draw four cards as well as forfeit his/her turn. With this card, you must have no other alternative cards to play that matches the color of the card previously played. If you play this card illegally, you may be challenged by the other player to show your hand to him/her. If guilty, you need to draw 4 cards. If not, the challenger needs to draw 6 cards instead. If turned up at the beginning of play, return this card to the Draw pile, shuffle, and turn up a new one."

Monsters of the elemental attributes with effects when they leave or get added to the hand, "Wild Card" being multi attributed monster able to substitute for any non-light or dark requirement, Spell/Traps all about drawing, shuffling back into the deck or even messing with the phases... Wouldn't be surprised if someone already made that as part of a fanfic or something.

You forgot to mention their field spell "Uno Jump In", which can really help speed up their playstyle. While it's on the field, if some one Special Summoned a "Uno" monster, a player can Special Summon another one with the same original name as that monster. If it's a mirror, both player benefits, but in non-mirrors, you can pretty much quickly empty your hand of extra copies of the same card at once in a single turn.

[@Raminator243]

Ever since the addition of the "No Mercy" expansion set, it's actually a hilarious mill deck. All the support the archetype got with that set is, pun intended, fucken wild.

[@euphoriceon]

Interesting tech options include The Winged Dragon of Ra- Sphere Mode, Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring, the Ishizu package, Runicks, and Volcanics in an attempt to survive negates. These saw play briefly when the Virus cards were more common due to helping to out Baronne de Fleur, Spell Canceler and Tetsudo Erat Numen, but quickly were phased out upon the realization that they made the mirror essentially unwinnable. Of particular note is YCS Siberia, where there were multiple rounds of surrenders due to Anti-Spell Fragrance. Similarly, you can tell when someone is at Bronze Rank on Master Duel due to utilizing Ash Blossom on Left Arm Offering in the UNO matchup.

Lezzz go! Honestly, I'm really loving these Yugioh adaptations to the UNO cards. I really hope Konami prints something like this, cause this sounds very funny

[@KuroeNezumi]

There's an archetype called Flower Cardian, which plays kinda similar: they have cards that go atop other cards and stuff like that, though it is a bit more like poker for the closest widespread analogue, the direct one being hanafuda, in that they make card combinations for their plays (in their case, make synchros with decent effects). Also if someone plays maxx c on them, they are at the mercy of the luck/skill the cardian player has with their deck on whether they deck out or not.

[@jayd.doubledubs]

[@pedrofelipefreitas2666]

Okay, hear me out: An archetype where your monsters are in a battle royale. If all the monster in your deck minus 1 are in your graveyard, only monsters of that archetype are in the gy, you have at least one of all monster of the archetype in your deck, and you have only 1 monster your field and it's a monster of the archetype, you win the game.

There are actually more modern versions of Uno that use cards that can switch your hands with an opponent or force them to draw cards as if they couldn't play. This video really makes me want to see Uno themed Kaijus that can only be summoned over a monster of the same Attribute/level

[@leafbladie]

Classic Rata. He forgot about the turn skip on Uno Wild Draw. I know people used to cheat and stack multiples on top of each other to mill the opponent out of the game. Glad Konami announced an official ruling on that.

[@runningoncylinders3829]

I'm glad he discussed the Pot of Greed level uncertainties surrounding Uno Reverse at least. I still don't know whether or not it was given the effect of skipping in the mirror, allowing players to use it with Uno Skip as part of their ftk, or if Uno Reverse merely changes turn-passage from clockwise to counterclockwise in a game played with 3 or more duelists at a time.

[@zero.0-0]

​@@runningoncylinders3829 did see a boss duel where it did reverse the player order but i think that effect is only for duels like that so don't @ me on that.

[@donkeyman9992]

That whole “they had to write the cards effects in the rule book” thing is kinda hilarious in the context of Yugioh, since back in the day they kinda had the opposite problem. Konami didn’t expect kids to actually read the rule book, so a lot of old cards had to explain basic rules in the card effect.

That one scene in the anime where Yuno won against both Dos and Tres at the same time, and Cuatro literally sucked him off afterward, is a masterpiece of cinema.

[@RatchVision]

UNO was originally introduced as a more fair Exodia deck with better interactions while allowing the opponent to see it coming (i.e. shouting UNO!) instead of watching the opponent draw a bunch of cards then randomly say they win the game. The ruling that you can only have other UNO cards in your deck was to prevent broken interaction with cards like Card Destruction, but it caused the decks popularity to rapidly plummet after it came out due to the fact that once the ideal decklist was put together, that was it. There was no more theory crafting or changing things until more UNO support was printed, which never was.
