I remember in my first match this year at locals, I kinda saw the kid I vs'd was a new player, and I was playing a deck that would've ended him straight away, but I ended up stalling a bit to see if he could get combos off and you know, have a bit of fun, I ended up winning in the end quite easily, but I spent the next 30 mins after the match teaching him how to combo with his deck and even gave him a few cards of my own to help with the deck and said to him that I'll be waiting for him in the next locals tournament for a more competitive match. The smile he gave that day, that's the reason why I love yu-gi-oh and the community.

[@anblueboot5364]

this was an amazing deed of yours! I think this is something that I realy appreaciate in the community... sadly my 1st time ygo local experience sucked like hell, watching all those yugitubers made it seem like locals can be a chill and not only running into tier 1-2 Deck but the people I played with last year all of them played full power salamngreat. I guess I had the wrong expectations when going into my locals rip. This was different for my 1st MTG local where my opponent set down with me in between matches and helped me bettering my deck. I went 2-2 and I'm extremly happy with this one X'D

[@Eaglefalls14]

I haven't played YGO since 2010, up until June 2020. I wanted to get back into it and rebuild my Solar Flare Dragon stall deck I had in high school. I went to my LGS and kept asking around for the cards I remember in the list. I got to be known as "The retro player stuck in the past". I got 60% of the deck, just missing the generic counter plays and a couple UFO Turtles, and used it in the tournament they were holding. Went 0-5, penalized for slow play because I was constantly asking what cards do (judge was never called, judge saw in his walk-through) and overall had alot of fun. Got to learn what link summoning, pendulum (I can't spell!) and XYZ are and how busted they can be

but to be fair nearly every yu-gi-oh Monster effect card is a Tutor from MTG. Imagine telling a MTG player that every card that you play is ALSO a grim Tutor which doesn't only allow you to add a card from your deck but also playing it directly! They would go nuts on how this is even balanced, fuck drawing more than 2 cards when every creature spell summons another creature spell from the deck to the battlefield.

@@Ramsey276one If I activate an effect of "when this card is sent to the GY, do x" and either player immediately activates another effect, then it missed the timing, because the last effect always happens first, the first effect always happens last. Let's look at imo the 3 most common ways to miss timing as examples: Example 1: So I sent it to the GY, then my opponent activates something that draws a card in response, but because da rules him drawing happens first, and by the time my effect would've activated, my card was already sent to the GY - so it's no longer "when" the card was sent there. Example 2: Another similar situation is if you activate 2 or more "when" effects at the same time. They can't both happen at the same time, so you have to choose which to activate - the other misses the timing (since it's no long "when"). Example 3: And finally, let's say a card's effect reads: "Target 1 card on the field. Discard 1 card, then destroy it" and you discarded a monster whose effect is "When this card is discarded, you can special summon it in faceup attack position." your "when" effect would miss timing. However, if the first effect read: "Target 1 card on the field. Destroy it, then discard 1 card." then the "when" effect would be able to be activated. The reason for this is because in the last example, the first version of the effect has you discarding the card AND THEN doing something, thus you destroy the targeted card at the same time you would've been able to activate the discarded monster's effects. But in the 2nd version, the destruction happens first, then the discard - with nothing else happening that would otherwise block or take priority over your monster's discard effect. As something asd said, "if" just means "if x happened, then you can activate y effect", "If" takes strict timing out of the equation entirely whereas "When" requires it. IMO: Yugioh should have never phased out "When" effects - they barely exist in most modern cards. "If" effects are less confusing, sure, but they're also stronger and harder to outplay, whereas the whole missing timing thing is a fairly unique yugioh mechanic that used to balance very powerful effects out.

[@drak5860]

Fighting the card isn't an issue, the issue is when your opponent knows how to use effects and combos off with it. Also I'd rather have all the tuners in the game they've banned so far than the Noodleyboi

[@konoaricao]

oh the game really changed after link monsters were added I can remember back when I actually went to tournaments weekly one of the decks that I made just because I thought it would be funny if could make a deck with a single level and then soon after I showed it off it became meta and that's Level 4 Spam by the way which easily became my top deck at the time once I figured out how to use Norden in it ;D yeah those were the days where if you still had monsters in your hand using Flame Tiger instead of drawing was a viable strategy XD

[@user-eh2jk6mf9s]

A classmate of mine, it was in like 2010, tried to 'duel' me in You GI Oh. The cards had just started getting popular in my town and the ratio of kids that knew how to play and those that got the cards because of the fashion was like 2/20. I was one of the 'poor' kids aka one that couldn't give this much money for a card, so I didn't have a deck. He let me borrow one of his, he had a ton of cards and I think he was trying to flex back then. He starts after explaining me the 'rules' and guess what. He plays just like the anime! I then smirked and was internally like "Joke's on you. I AM into it!". (It was quite the misconception that girls back then watched only Barbie/My little pony.) I had watched EVERY episode released up until them, some even twice. He played by the anime, so I anime-ed him 3 times harder. I had no Idea what I was doing and just imitated random stuff I saw in the anime with as much gutso as the characters. He looked so confused and gobsmacked! I think he almost filled his pants. In the end he left the school yard and forgot to take the deck he borrowed me. I gave it back the next day. I never got into the game but will remember this forever.

New Player: "I'll Set a Monster in Face-Down Defense Position, and END my Turn." People with a Heart: "I'm Sorry... Little One." Competitive Players: **Insults and Sadistically make the [New Player] Suffer while Using all [Insults] (from A-to-Z)** Me: "I'm Sorry little one" BGM: **["Dynamite"/ACDC]** Me: **Laughs Evilly, and Uses everything in my: Hand, Deck, Graveyard, Extra Deck, Spell/Trap Zone, while making [1st Turn] last for as long as possible, and Locking the [New Player] out of using: [Spell Cards], [Trap Cards], [Monster Effects], [Hand Traps], along with Preventing: [Draw Phase] and [Battle Phase]. Then I Trick the [New Player] into Thinking that I used Everything, and used a Floodgate to clear the Field (assuming that the [New Player] didn't already quit), and take it even FURTHER, by: Reacting to/Negating Summons or Reacting to/Negating Attacks, while using as many Insults as possible (except Cuss words) to make my Opponent REALLY Suffer, and Finishing this off with a [You win the Duel] Effect."

That pendulum meme close to the end really hurt my feelings. I want my Performapals back... AND MY ASTROGRAPH SORCERER. But hey, if they actually do it with Electrumite like they did with Rusty, we can be certain that Astrograph will never see the light of day again... :/

There's always a point in my combo where I stop asking for a response where the optimal time to HT has long passed. Usually shortly after I establish a negate

[@TheDeathmail]

To be fair, it's not that the anime is wrong, just that it's outdated... there's a huge difference from being wrong and being outdated... and the anime's version is a better game in my opinion. Simple, straight forward and just plain fun...

The shattering kids dreams is hella relatable. I was playing a for fun cyber infinitrack deck in mr4 against hero monster mash, he spent his first turn playing something that let us both draw and ended on like 2 main deck heros. I proceed to setup the rank 9 infinitrack, cyber infinity, and megaclops to steal both of his cards. Probably one of the only times i did anything with that garbage deck
