MBT I am planning in the near future to write a treatise on a Logarithmic Format of Yugioh that leans into the high powerlevel of Yugioh instead of limiting it. This is by giving everyone 10-card rush duel style replenishing hands, zones that can stack more than one card on it, multiple normals per turn, and 80000 LP. Basically like that part of clicker games where your stuff gets exponentially more powerful but the goals you have to hit scale up to match. If I send this treatise to you when I finish, would you be interested in giving me feedback?

The playground Duelist Kingdom format reminds me of a fanfic I wanted to write that starts right after Yugi defeats Weevil the first time. The premise is that one of the tournament referees forces Weevil to turn over his cards, either because the value of Yugi’s deck far exceeds the value of the one star chip it was wagered in place of, or it is done on special instructions from Pegasus, who fears that Yugi will not be able to reach him to wager his puzzle against Solomon’s soul without Exodia. I have so many silly ideas for how Yugi and Joey’s decks would work after they’ve each added some of Weevil’s best cards. For example, Time Wizard would be able to force an early hatching of PUG Moth, or insect monsters could have an advantage against zombie because of their roles as decomposers, stripping powerful zombies down to feeble skeletons.

[@XerxesTheUndead]

Dark Duel Stories had an interesting take on the game where, aside from field spells going by how they worked in Duelist Kingdom, there were “type advantages” in which a monster with a certain attribute can destroy another monster even if it’s stats were weaker (you can have Jellyfish destroy Volcanic Queen since water beats fire). You could also summon extra deck and ritual monsters like regular monsters too and a lot of them had the Divine typing so they were immune to being destroyed by its type.

[@mateusrp1994]

That was a thing in the early manga and even the Duelist Kingdom anime, some monster types had an advantage wheel like Pokemon types.

Konami really needs to bring that flavor of YuGiOh back to the video games. Just beat Sacred Cards a month-ish ago, and it was really fun.

[@alexandertrotter1812]

I have a couple of friends who decided to make their own format that they call "degeneracy." The deck size is well over 200 cards, it can hold about 6-8 players, everyone plays from the one deck, only 1 copy of each card, if a card says "your opponent" its applied to all other players. (Example: feather duster with destroy all other players spell/traps.), and if youre attacked directly you cannot be attacked by any other player till your next turn. Its rediculously hard, but extremely fun!

4-player YGO. The board is altered slightly (only slightly) to fit 2 more players in a square board, EMZs are shared by adjacent players. The player going Turn 1 isnt allowed to use the Right EMZ to ensure the last player doesnt get extra-locked. If a card effect says "your opponent", like Raigeki, you have to choose one of your opponents and it only applies to that player. If an effect says Each Player or would apply to both players, like Dark Hole, then it applies to all 4 players. Static effects that specify an opponent, like Prohibition, apply to a single player upon activation or summon. The Last player in the turn order is the first person allowed to enter the battle phase. I havent gotten to playtest it enough to know if more life points are needed or not. But I assume with the slowed down battle phase and having to fight through 3 player's interraction, OTK decks will be slowed down enough to get derailed.

MTGMode Rules: - Both players have an energy pool that starts at 0 and grows by 1 at the beginning of their standby phase. - Creatures have Summoning sickness - You declare attacks directly to players, not creatures - Normal summoning or setting creatures requires you to pay a cost equal to their level. - Spells and traps cost 1 to be played on your first two turns, and 2 in the turns after that. - You can only play cards from your hand up to the number of turns that have passed. - Players declare blockers on a blocker phase after the attacking player declares he has finished declaring attackers and ends the attacker phase. - ATK is dealt to DEF when blocking. A creature that received damage equal to or greater than its DEF is destroyed. - Cards can be set for FLIP summon and for hidden information purposes. - Face-down tapped cards can block - Creatures must tap in order to declare an attack. - Tapped creatures cannot block. - A card summoned or played directly from the graveyard by the effect of a card that is also in the graveyard has a cost equal to half the level of the summoned creature, or 2 if the played card is a magic/trap card. - Any card that gives or has “Can attack directly” gives or has “Unblockable” instead. - Creatures that leave the battlefield the same turn they enter the battlefield by their own effect or as an additional effect of a card that summoned them, have don’t have Summoning Sickness - Creatures that return to your control at the beginning of your standup phase don’t have Summoning Sickness except for the first turn of the game. -All creatures with base 0 DEF have base 50 DEF instead. -All cards that exclusively deal direct damage to one opponent can also target a creature instead. -All magic cards that exclusively deal direct damage to one opponent are considered quick spells. - Any effect that would special summon a creature requires an additional 2 to be paid, otherwise the activation of that effect is negated. -You can pay an additional 5 to activate trap cards the turn they were set. - Special summoning itself costs mana equal to half that creature’s level

[@AlleyCatUwU]

Comrade ♡ I know you won't look at this; but still, I give you: Shadow Duel Format. I was inspired heavily by TSX1's speed duel tournament and Golden Nova's Digimon video. The speed duel essentially artificially slows the game down; where the power creep only keeps speeding us up. We could introduce a "shadows" mechanic similar to memory in Digimon. I haven't had a chance to workshop anything specific yet (I have no friends), also I'm no Distant Coder when it comes to Yugioh rules (I need help), but imagine: Shadow Duels: a game mechanic. Let's place a number line of -10 to +10 on the field, each side belonging to a player. The shadow count starts in the middle (0) and moves towards a player (and away from their opponent) one space each time that player activates an effect; specifically ignition (?), monster quick effects (is that an ignition?), and spells draw shadows unto yourself. Cards that activate on their own when a condition is met (proc) or cards that were set wouldn't draw shadows. When the shadows reach a player, that player loses. The idea is make combo-ing a little more costly for the combo player while making it slightly beneficial for the player getting combo-ed on. If a player pulls 9 counters of shadows unto themselves, that player is entirely unable to quick effect negate anything. Meaning a board dedicated to locking the opponent out through negates is counter intuitive with these rules. This system would also inherently boost the power and effectiveness of flip monsters, effects that tend to miss timing, effects that proc on their own, traps, and there's even incentive to set quick-play spells instead of outright activating them (I think we should have had quick-play traps instead; but what's done is done and that is an entirely different discussion). So, ideally it would look something like this. I play rocks, magnets; don't judge. Summon a rock (no shadows), activate Adamancipator Researcher (shadows +1) to special, activate Researcher (+1) to excavate and special Gamma. Gamma activates (no shadows), special Beta, Beta activates (no shadows) to Stratos into my hand another magnet. That's two points of shadows in my court so far. But let's say I end turn with Naturia Beast, Baron, Koa'ki Guardian, and Berserkion on board with 8 points of shadows in my court. That's 17 activations, at least, that my opponent gets on their turn; versus my available one. If they don't move the needle back in their direction, I borderline can't activate anything; not even on my second turn. Maxx C and Ash Blossom would both draw shadows, so it's even a soft (VERY soft) nerf in TCG, OCG, and Master Duel metas. Yes, I'm suggesting we add another aspect to the field lmao. But in this light (lol), I wonder if hopefully we'll be pushed to play within an archetype and understand it more thoroughly.

[@doubl2480]

Seems like an interesting idea, but it would make trap decks too powerful. I imagine activating a trap should also bring you a shadow.

[@AlleyCatUwU]

Don't Tears proc by being sent to the grave? I'm rather casual for Yugioh but I'm dabbling in making a tabletop; so game design is my whole schtick. I figured Tear and Ishizu would remain meta; I personally like our Tear 0 overlords atm (plays Naturia). It definitely draws deck building away from stuff like generic Adamancipator or any KNOWN combo deck. That being said, the Eldlitch traps would draw shadows to activate their self-banishing graveyard effects; so they still take a hit under these rules. Then also, activating Infinite Impermanence or Evenly Matched from your hand would draw shadows. Aaaaaaand this may just be a "me thing", but I think we should bring back the battle city rule of summoning sickness for extra deck monsters. The extra deck is an extremely versatile toolbox that grant you powerful effects and extenders, I don't think limiting their ability to attack is such a big ask. It would put more of an emphasis on your main deck if you wanted to OTK.

Ash isn’t awful but it isn’t good enough for the current format to be a staple proper. I think most people are playing cards that do more. Like Kashtira does so much more against the current meta decks. I’m not sure if people are playing that so much now but Bystial and Kashtira were being splashed because they just do more disruptive plays. But I don’t really play the modern format. I basically play Duel Links and more or less gave up on Master Duel before we got Runick. I enjoyed Branded up until it was the arguable best deck and even when I was playing it I got so many games where my opponent just opened the nuts every time. So basically the average Master Duel and Duel Links experience.

@@TheGuyWhoIsSitting I'm just learning how to do big combos through older decks like Dragon Links myself so that I can maybe do them in other archetypes in the future.

Duelist of roses might be my actual first contact with Yu-Gi-Oh

[@Jolfgard]

Oh, I'm SOOO glad that I am not active on Twitter, lest you'd hear about the draft format where you roll for 2 boxes and then pull half of each to build a deck out of them. I mean, it's a weird mix between Revz' Arena format and Sealed Showdown, but ffs, you really don't need to draft only a single set at once. This is Yu-Gi-Oh, not MtG where your draft is determined by color identity and parasitic synergies (okay, maybe the parasitic synergies are still there, but it's still easy to pack SOMETHING in there that is playable).

We used 2 play a 4 - 5 players free for all at school. It was actuallY FUN. A lot of cards that dont see play in the TCG were actually bronken in the free for all format.

Wait, someone backwards engineered a Duelists of Roses ruleset!? "Insert Futurama take my money meme here"

[@lobsterbisque333]

How can you be tired of Tearlament, such skilltesting and rewarding format where both players are playing the whole time

[@jeremyadkins9665]

To be honest, I wish that the Yugioh scene in my area was more robust, than the dead fish it is, because I would so want to try and play around with these formats. I built a Speed Duel deck, while helping my roommate make one of his own, just so that - in the vain chance Yugioh gets popular here - we can try it out. Otherwise, the only formats we can play are on Master Duel.

You should commission more YGO yiffs when you have time off from making SFM models

Literally prying friends from Master Duel and Modern to play Alt Formats when all they do is bitch and complain about Modern is so hard, so I feel your struggle a little bit

@@emporbooty True, just didn't expect someone to be so bold to do so on here. Mainly confused if it was a dig at what I do for the fandom, or a poke of interest, is all.

DUELISTS OF THE ROSES MENTIONED LESGOO

[@TTRPGSarvis]

"Uno Duels" sound a lot like the "Adventure Quest Worlds" card game. Yes, I own a deck of the Adventure Quest Worlds card game. It's fun to break out at parties.

[@goodhunterchurch1117]

I’ve enjoyed playing the “pure”form of dogmatika with all of their new ritual cards. Been having a fun time overall.

[@parkouremaster]

I wish existed a online duelist of the roses with updates and stuff

[@MrLednard]

I love how you can know which one is Rata's comment because: A. He mentions Jimbles. B. It's some weird game no one ever heard about. C. The picture on screen has someone playing fucking Ojamas.

[@gatocochino5594]

2:52 Yeah Orcustrion is soo generic, I use it on all my decks because how easy it is to summon and use its effect.

I just want a free agent format. Where only cards are playable that specifically do not have:" "[Archetype]" Monster " in their card text

[@HaxDotCombo]

Damn, I should've shilled Motion Duels, I have a different DOTR-inspired ruleset (that I barely maintain) that uses a 5x5 grid (instead of 7x7) to better-integrate column effects and Link Monsters.

[@pikomdl]

A funny format I know is Gammelmonster Beatdown a format only played by 2 German Yugitubers. You have 20 Monster with Atk from 100-2000, no Atk value twice, one monster with ?Atk. No cards from the forbidden, limited or semi- limited list. No burn cards, no extradeck and only one copy of each spell and trap card. Sadly it never got traction in the German comunity as far as I know.

I made a 3000+ card singleton Mega Cube that I've been playing with my friends for a while now. It's the most fun I have playing the game!
