MBT talking about people giving up too soon is one of Paul's discussion videos and rings so true. Stop giving up! It can only take one misplay or clever move for you to get advantage over your opponent & win the game. You'll be surprised when your hand actually can break a board.

[@roguebubble]

MD's ladder system warps this discussion since it's usually more efficient to scope early if you want to climb fast. Waiting for opponent to do their combo, figuring out how to play into their board, waiting for their responses on each of your cards and then adjusting your own lines in response takes up a lot of time and mental energy that trying to play out every game will be a slower and more frustrating climb

[@mr.thekid3827]

6:39 I concede because I actually want to PLAY Yugioh I don't want my turn to be normal summon, gets popped, activate spell, gets negated, pass the turn, get OTK'd? I'm not PLAYING the game at that point, I'm watching someone else play the game while staring at my hand and asking "Huh, what can I DO with these cards that doesn't immediately lose me the game?" I don't play Meta, I don't play a lot of hand-traps, sure that's a deck-building issue and I'M the problem there, but equally, when I come to play yugioh, is it wrong to want to play the decks I want to play? So when I see my opponent normal summon Snake-Eye Ash, and I have only engine pieces in hand, that can't break a board of 3 mat appo and 3 other interactions, I don't WANT to sit there for 3 minutes watching THEM play the game, just so I CAN'T play the game. So I concede and go next. For a content creator, conceding isn't good for views and watch time- but for me, a person who is trying to have fun and enjoy the game playing the decks THEY want to play- is it so wrong to admit defeat early, and just hope you find a better matchup next game to have fun against? "Just play Snake-Eye", while true, isn't exactly fun? I enjoy the decks that I have, and don't enjoy playing Snake-Eye, and getting my whole combo negated in one go by meta is... Kinda frustrating honestly? So my options are, don't have fun playing yugioh, or not playing yugioh. My choice is I'm gonna scoop till I see someone else playing something I think I'll have fun playing against When I see someone open a weird, off-meta card, I'm gonna stick it out because this at least will be more interesting than watching someone play solitaire for 3 minutes and then killing me. A few people have been like "Oh, then go play Magic, or Pokemon, or Cardfight Vanguard" And with each of those, there's multiple issues With Magic, there's SO many cards, but only so many are available at any given moment, you either have to know the game inside and out to know how to deck build, or be constantly looking for pre-cons to have a good deck- not to mention there's combos that are still pretty awful to play into sometimes, if my opponent goes first I don't really want to have a 5 card opening hand because they have Grief Scam and hand-rip 2 with a 3/2 on board before I've even played a land- and that's just one example... Pokemon ALSO has one-turn kill strategies, and while most of them are banned, the game still has a massively high skill ceiling, and an equally low floor, in part because there are some cards that are just, strictly better to play than others that serve a similar purpose, and the combo lines are very confusing- and that can be pretty problematic when, you're not great at deckbuilding, and similarly with MTG, don't know how to build it properly outside of "Balance 'mon, trainer cards, and energy" And Cardfight Vanguard is just, not interesting to me? I mean, I played it once, and won my first game, so that's a good a reason as any to just, never play again, but the mechanics were just, so foreign to me that I had to have everything explained to me, multiple times, every time it came up, plus if I'm being honest, I don't like that some of the archetypes... Have a very interesting way to portray female children... I'd rather just avoid the game entirely, honestly! And for any other card games, and hell even Pokemon and Cardfight Vanguard, they just have a small audience, and basically no GOOD online simulator like how Magic and Yugioh do, and even MTG Arena leans more heavily into monetization than Master Duel- but, since Master Duel is a cesspool of people playing Snake-Eye down in literally BEGINNER RANK, I don't really feel like dealing with it. I want to PLAY Yugioh, not put three cards onto the board and watch them get negated, pass turn, and get killed on the spot. THAT'S why I concede and go next, but still play Yugioh. Anyway, random rant over, I'm sure nobody's gonna read this but, who knows. It'd be cool to see anyone read through it all.

[@lorenbrown7100]

you waited for someone to read threw it all I read every word and I understand your pain especially since I play the hated summoning style of pendulum sure I play z-arc from time to time to crush my enemies when I lose with odd eyes cause Konami never wants to actually supposed odd eyes and sometimes I feel like I’m the only true odd eyes player like a in I use nothing but odd eyes in deck and extra deck only with a few hand traps cause I learnt the hard way you don’t got a hand trap your getting ran over odd eyes is someway good since your summoning lvl 7 2500 attack powerhouses with effects like I deal double damage if I deal damage to a monster or I deal more damage after attacking when theirs 2 or one odd eyes in pend zone so if they can’t set up in time thanks to hand trap shenanigans then I just run em over it’s hard sometimes though cause odd eyes has zero protection one card and arcs gone another and their goes my field banished or their busy banishing my deck or extra deck while it’s my turn to think snake eyes is bad try being an odd eyes player going against runic kashitra sky strikers or other meta things when my actually good cards are locked behind nearly impossible summoning methods sure I could summon rebellion and use my other odd eyes to make raging but what good is that if they just banish the card right right from my extra deck it’s annoying and I wish they gave us odd eyes players the gates he used against Declan

[@leandro4668]

Insta conceding is dumb unless you have a terrible matchup on your hands. For example, when I play paleo and my opponent is on mikanko, the opponent should just surrender. They literally can not win, it is impossible. Make no mistake, the game will take 30 minutes but they will not win. At that point just save yourself some time. Edit: Before anyone makes the "what if they are having fun" argument. I do not think someone playing a going second otk deck would be having fun getting wabokued and karma cannoned 20 turns in a row but maybe that is just me.

[@sebastianchavez1225]

On the 6:40 thing is depressing like sometimes you win sometimes you lose i can handle losing a lot fine but a devastating loss where everything gets negated and is just unsurmountable... it hurts like i don't get salty or insult players but some matches or games have gotten me crying bad or lose the will to play for a while like yeah some people can take those better the same way people have more resilience for other problems or being the butt of jokes... but some people cannot

[@TheNewblade1]

Get rejected by a girl< have my diabell negated.

[@callmeriggy]

If you're crying over a card game, you have bigger issues than your opponent going full board, Bud.

[@Lankercool]

Take these things in stride, if you get negated and your capability to win is just not possible you could just be unlucky. If it happens multiple times over and more often than winning then maybe there's an issue with your deck or your plays. Don't take the situation as something upsetting but take it as a positive: You still have a chance to improve and learn because you don't learn from winning while you do when losing. If the game is difficult for you to play and you find no joy in playing it then don't; nobody is forcing you to play, it is entirely in your hands and there could always be something else to play or do in that same time, almost certainly something you can actually enjoy doing. Don't put yourself in a negative mindset as that will just cause a spiral whenever things don't go well, in comparison to a positive mindset which could some of the time lead you up a spiral when things do go well, which is far more preferable.

[@Endershock1678]

⁠@@Lankercool I think that’s a great message, and to add to it: Take the chance to see what you lost to and how to improve your MU on it. If your opponent played through 2 hand traps and ended on 12 negates, think about if you hand trapped them in the right areas. So many people Ash snake eyes decks wrong. I’ve won more than few due to poorly timed Ash Blossoms. Think about if you should consider different hand traps. Ash does nothing against Snake Eyes, but a well timed Droll + Nibiru is game ending. I put in Skull Meister specifically to stop Flamberge (when they can’t Chainblock it). Alternatively, look into board breakers. Many OCG players are main decking Dark Ruler because it shuts down entire Snake Eye boards (minus the IP in ST and Princess in Grave, but still). If you are losing to one hand trap, think on how to improve your matchup. Adjust ratios, don’t be afraid to go above 40, many top players will go above 40 and even as high as 60. Consider various tech options: I’ve started using DD Crow to deal with Rollbaxk shenanigans. Consider using other strategies. You don’t need to use Snake Eye, but if you’re not having fun playing Blue Eyes and losing, consider that this might not be the time for it and find another deck you enjoy. And if you lose, just accept that sometimes, you got unlucky. I’ve lost in Pokemon to crits, I’ve lost in Smash Bros to Hero kills at 0, and I’ve lost games of Yugioh to bricking for 8 turns in a deck with 15 starters. At the end of the day, losing is a part of getting better, and maybe it’s the Souls and Fighting game player in me, but losing just makes me want to try harder.

[@dudem1310]

One weird thing I will say about the conceding games is (coming from a background in Hearthstone top 100 finish peak [when it earned worlds points]) is if the only goal of you as a player is to theoretically grind rank if one in every let's say 5 times you try to play through your opponents board you make a comeback break it whatever. If the time in those 4 losses is greater than the time it would take to play 2.6 games it is technically faster to concede to just go next. Oddly enough in hs knowing when to concede for game efficiency is often considered a skillful thing. I just think master duel players have not figured it out yet when to concede. I will say in yugioh it definitely hurts ones growth as a player

​@naknampucha5236 there are plenty deck that could do full combo with 1 card and the problem with link kuribo isn't that it allows snake eye full combo as snakes eyes can do full combo without it it's that it prevents battle phase plus it invalidates any targeting interruption as it tributes for cost

I mean you can analyze the condition properly, sometimes you know if it is possible to play or not. Besides, hoping your opponent will play badly is not a good game design.

Than having decks with overkill setup, because there is always a possibility the player is an idiot and make the broken setup fair.

[@cturtle4573]

If you're playing in a bracket, then sure, don't concede. If you're in a ladder like MD though it's a completely different story. There's no point in playing out a game that you're going to lose, that's time you can spend playing a game that there's a chance of winning. Watching so many streamers during this WCQ event play out games that were lost 15 minutes ago was so frustrating, that was almost certainly a key part in what made them not make the cut, the better players knew when it was time to move on. Save your time and energy for the games that matter. I will say though that a lot of Yugioh players will scoop far too early. I've had people surrender just for losing the coin toss, having their turnskip card like Maxx C/Shifter negated. But you shouldn't actually scoop until your opponent has the makings of a card that will win them a game. Surrender when you see the Ash/Circular, never before.
