i appreciate both the accuracy to the anime writing, while also not treating the modern game like trash, but still accepting its issues it's almost like we could all be normal about the game for ten seconds and actually address some of the issues it has lmao

[@drewbabe]

The only issue the modern game has is that the banlist hits for Tear have been too harsh. Tear Ishizu is the most fun deck ever: despite self-mill being inherently luck-based, it was still consistent enough to almost always combo off, and the luck factor made the thrill of getting a god mill feel even better. It had the ability to dip into other archetypes that other decks wouldn't, so the deckbuilding (especially in the extra deck) had lots of opportunities to tailor for countering other Tear builds, meaning deckbuilding in the Tear 0 format wasn't stagnant at all-it was ever-evolving. The mirror match was one of the highest skill ceilings ever seen in the game, too, just because of the inherent nature of reciprocal milling meaning your biggest playmakers can turn your opponent's engine on too, so you always have to be calculating your odds of being able to deal with how many disruptions your opponent can bring out on turn 0, as well as keeping track of which tear names you've used, sometimes intentionally chainblocking with a redundant tear name just so that you guarantee you get one fuse going, not to mention the huge chain links caused by you and your opponent interrupting each other over and over with everything from Havnis, to the shufflers, to Redoer... and on MD you even got to use Snow and Spright Elf (though tbh I don't think the latter should be legal as long as Merrli and Diviner are... but it sure is a power trip, having even more disruptions and more ways to mill 8 and feel great!)

[@darthparallax5207]

No the issue is that they haven't yet printed Blue-Eyes White Dragon with the exact text of pre-errata CED. Which they should because I really want to see how gaslit the internet can REALLY get. :)

[@markjacobs3232]

The problem was, even judges at the tournaments were losing track of whose turn it was. The deck simply had too many actions and interactions and should have been excavate instead of mill. Excavate would have kept the deck t1 and mostly unbanned, but we got mill, and that became degeneracy. Also a high skill ceiling isn’t fun when it’s only one deck, that’s not healthy.

As someone who played Yugioh when it first came out then stopped due to adulting and recently looked up the game this is exactly how it feels. All this unnecessary craziness for what used to be a fun back-and-forth battle between 2 buddies who just wanna play a card game with cool artwork. Imagine how convoluted Yugioh will be in 2030

[@kaioken301]

Reminds me of when I looked up a tournament to see what modern YGO looked like. No lie, the video may have been a lil over 20 mins, and the guy that won the coin toss' first turn took up 19 of those mins. I was so pissed that I essentially watched someone play solitaire for 19 mins. But I was in a state of pure disbelief that the game I loved as a kid had become like this. I still play the older YGO video games now, just to remember the good times.

[@beaky8138]

Goat format (2005), Edison format (2010), Tengu format (2011) and HAT format (2014) are still popular if you ever did want to get back into PvP and were looking for a more accessible format. Heck, even Yugi/Kaiba format (2002) has its following and is surprisingly fun, especially for someone just getting started.

You could tell Joey was about to get fuckin rekt by the way Kaiba said "oh yes Wheeler, MY turn is over"

[@TheNN]

Honestly the way modern Yugioh has evolved, as a great man once said, "The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain," which is to say that sometimes the simplest move, can shut down the most complex of stratagems. As we see here, even an old card like Threatening Roar can stop an OTK dead in it's tracks.

[@Linmyra]

Was casually playing my ghostrick deck against an opponent with Ra disciples, even managed to get Ra on the field, used all but 100 life points for it, only to card effect Ra face down, destroy it, and attack directly.

[@VestedUTuber]

I mean, kinda? It can definitely delay an OTK. But at this point, if you can't stop the huge play _before_ it happens, you're kinda screwed. Everything these days either has built-in protection, negation or some way of coming back to the board.

At least you're not playing a deck from the 2000s and expecting to win matches lol. Libromancers can actually be viable for climbing, but you may need to pair it with another archetype as there are too few cards for Libromancers to be consistent by itself.

[@lvl.2greyrat849]

Libromancer + mathmech is pretty good for a non meta deck honestly

[@GalickGon]

I also got into yugioh recently and have been using a Demise deck. Definitely a lot of pain not understanding a lot of newer mechanics at first 🤣

[@99099]

Definitely not a meta dexk anymore, but demise otk was actually a pretty solid deck back around 2008ish, so it could have been worse for you, e.g. elementsabers.

[@Millardfunderburg]

I have a feeling Kaiba's face when Threatening Roar came out is exactly how many players in master duel felt playing against my attack locking mill deck. So many blue eyes, golden chickens of ra, XYZ Zeus wiffing at burning my board, monster spamming decks, Rhongos, and loads of some very underwhelming Maxx Cs since the mill deck hardly special summoned. Might not longer play but this video gives me a glimpse of what their pain filled faces had to have looked like.

Then he busts out the cyber stein combo board that was legal for a format

[@Millardfunderburg]

Your combo didn't exist when I was still playing, got bored and left before stuff like that came in, nice try though@@ibra8096 The biggest trouble to my deck in that combo though is Natruia Exterion which I just scoop to. But as you was allowed only 1 copy of Stein in the deck, if I managed to toss that copy into the grave before you can use it you'd be the one scooping.

The voices, the usage of the US OST, 3:54-3:56, are just on *POINT!* There are people that play certain decks to keep up with the meta, and then there's me that plays certain decks because of characters he's liked in the show. *Reason I play Battlin Boxers?* Alito's my favorite Barian (Thank God we *FINALLY* got some support 2 months ago!). *Reason I wanna run Raid Raptors?* Shun/Shay was a GOAT in Arc-V for me. *Reason I wanna run Morphtronics?* Because the male twin had me sold with having a deck of Robots in Disguise.

[@twillij29]

As a fellow anime enjoyer, I have to ask. When people say they like playing an anime archetype, do they generally mean they like playing it pure like in the anime, or they like playing it with more competitive combos/engines? E.g. Raidraptor with Phantom Knights engine, Morphtronics as a Link climb combo with Telefon loop etc.

You need to plan multiple loop entries, possible loop components, loop enders. Of course, going with meta or counter meta. Welcome to newcomer highbar gaming. Where rules are too many experimentation means serious study. Usually trying to substitute something nerfed. Sometimes new decks being done purely through trying to justify using something or achive something.
