STOP PLAYING 2023 YU-GI-OH! (play 2010 instead)

In this video I share my Diva Zombie deck I took to play in Edison side events at YCS Philadelphia a few months ago. The list was similar to my list for the Ultimate Time Wizard, which I will make another video on.
Here are some resources to help you get your game on for Edison format!

Even though I didn’t start playing until 2012, I absolutely love this era of the game. The early 5DS design of monsters and slower pace of the game just makes me so happy

[@TheEmitt]

It's amazing to see how popular Edison is getting. I hope it leads to even more exploration of others, like Plant Tengu and HAT

[@TomTheOriginal]

Yes! Agree so much. HAT in particular is so rich and diverse

[@TrianglePants]

I hope it leads to Komoney being FORCED to change, either their America side or overall, or even sell off the rights for the TCG to someone more caring.

[@ArisePass]

I've been a meta sheep since I started and I never would've thought I'd way this, but I think Edison is the wave modern formats really are trash

[@serraramayfield9230]

[@Iamtemjin]

Same! I built decks from my favorite formats, including Edison. Truly glad they have Edison Format tournaments at my local card shop.

[@Ragnarok540]

Konami is missing out on having Edison and Goat format available in Master Duel. I'm sure a lot of people would be willing to spend money to play those formats in a nice looking simulator, even if they never implement the rulings and erratas from that time (but if they implemented those it would obviously be even better).

[@Monkeylighthouse]

I know this comment is a year old, and I'm sure you're aware of the limited time events, but the reason those weren't permanent is because at the end of the day, Master duel is supposed to make money. Having those events last forever means that a portion of the people who play the game won't ever even think about spending money, because when you play a format that will never change, you can just craft all the cards and never buy gems.

[@DaymanOurSavior]

Edison format is awesome. Early 5d's era synchros with GX archetypes like heroes and zombies making waves, along with other diverse decks and people still inventing new ones. It's super nostalgic yet competitive and fun. Hopefully it gets more and more popular and we have more irl Edison events!

I absolutely adore this format. I've been having a lot of fun with Dragons, Gemini, and Diva Hero Beat, plus a personal favorite in Gladiator Beasts (despite them being just worse Hero Beat). Just hope one day I can score one of those giant card Black Rose Dragons!

I went to Edison! My first SJC/YCS. (Vids on my channel too!) It's funny cuz I dueled Jeff Jones in YCS Miami years later in round 3! I couldn't believe it! My 2nd HUGE tourney and I had to duel Jeff. Lol It was a Mermail mirror match, btw. We were too ahead of the game. Cuz Wind Ups won Miami, but after that huge ban, Mermails took off!

I kept my Lightsworn and Blackwing Stun decks for the very reason. I definitely love to play old formats to take a break from the current meta.

[@GenghisKhanner]

Dude this is nuts, I have my zombie deck that is essentially locked in time from when I was in highschool (graduated 2011) and it’s almost beat for beat what you’re showing here! I wasn’t able to play competitively back then due to living in a rural town, but seeing this crop up and the fact I never netdecked is kinda awesome to see.

[@scythermantis]

Yeah if Gage thinks that this deck didn't exist back then he's just wrong.

[@yami_darius]

Thanks a bunch for the high quality deck profile! Been in love with Edison for months and I don't see it stopping anytime soon.

[@Yu-Gi-Tube]

i stopped playing yugioh when the leviathan xyz tin came out. picked the game back up when MACR came out. love that edison has been picking up steam again. very nostalgic format for me

[@goldeneramanagement.official]

I played competitively with some success (big regionals Tops, winter and summer cups finals wins, store championship wins, always top4 player of my local for 3 years, etc) from 2006 to 2012. I think that short period between March 2010 and the release of The Shining Darkness was one of the least fun times I had playing Yu-Gi-Oh in my entire career. I started playing edison online in 2021 because I was bored of playing Goat and at first it seemed fun but after 1 year it became a really obscene format. I started playing IRL edison competitively this year, winning an almost 50 player regional, making top8 at 3 other regionals and coming 11th at two other regionals, still out of 50/60 player. In the Italian national ranking I was in the top 10 of the best Edison players in terms of scores between matches won and lost. All in 4 months of IRL play. Despite all this good results, I can say that Edison format is the ugliest retro format I've ever played in which the inconsistency of the decks is the true king of the format, where a Brain Control + Caius is enough to change the game, where Trap Dustshoot in turn 1 is often GG and a opponent summoning DAD in late game often put you in a unrecoverable position. Initially I didn't understand why so many people were passionate about such a bad format but then I think I understood, it's a format where even a bad player with a little luck can win, where you can build very junk decks but just throw 3 caius into them, Ryko and Hamster to make it run a minimum, where floodgates are often a death sentence and games almost won are lost by randomly topdecked Brain control. On the other hand, I remember with much more sympathy Edison's handsome brother, namely the Lightsworn format, September 2009 banlist, same card pool as Edison but differently banned which makes all decks as consistent as possible. I say this as a person who played rogue decks and not lightsworn or twilight in that format and in which I won a lot despite not playing T1. Honestly, there are many other beautiful retro formats, such as September 2007 pre-release of LADD (and without prize cards), September 2009 or September 2011 (Tengu plant) that for a year of online gaming experience, hasn't frustrated me as much as playing edison, it always gives me a idea of relax in the game and I never feel the impending inconsistency on the decks (perhaps because engines are not nerfed? Or maybe handtraps like max c or veiler reward skillful players and not the sacky ones). I remain of the idea that if it was necessary to choose a retro format from the 5Ds era, to be resurrected after Goat, September 2009 it would be been a thousand times better than edison. Okay i'm basically a combo player and edison has become a format with an average of 11/12 backrows per deck where have some interactive fun is nowadays pretty impossible but I still think that Lightsworn format is better than edison. Not judge it from its cover, if you havent play it historically cant understand. My 2 cents

[@user-xt6fq4zt5c]

How can you complain about DAD and Brain control stealing games, then promote the Judgment Dragon format?

[@goldeneramanagement.official]

Here's another one. Did you play that format competitively at the time? It wasn't simply "I summon JD, gg", if you analyze the tops of the time (5 SJCS occurred in these 6 months, so the players had more time to test and optimize the decks, not like in the original SJCS Edison where there was essentially no a defined meta and everyone played whatever they liked), it can be noted that different strategies were playable and could easily perform well in a tournament with hundreds of participants. Blackwings, Vayu Turbo, Chaos Control, Zombie Tele Dad, Diva Zombie, Norleras turbo even Gladiator Beasts and Spaceships could top a tournament, not to mention all the hybridizations between zombie and lightsworn or, in a more modern key, Diva hero. Between Edison and Lightsworn format the only difference is the banlist, the card pool is practically the same. But closed-minded people think that Lightsworn would be mono meta, when in fact it was a much more varied format than it might seem and very distant from situations like those of Tele Dad (tier 0 format) or the format before where there were Bw- Synchro Cat- Lightsworn - Blacksalvo - GBs (rogue) and no other playable strategies. Lightsworn format is Edison but with extreme consistency, edison is rubbish in comparison, in Edison even blackwing or other T1s could brick in a really bad way. However, stay close-minded and continue to promote a toxic, sack-based format. It seems obvious but in Lightsworn format you have 3 Necro Gardna, 3 Tragoedia and 1 Gorz, and even maindecking Threathering Roar is not such an uncommon choice. The problem is Edison, in its entirety, rather than Judgment Dragon in Lightsworn format. I remember well that Lightsworn full power often risked losing to auto crush precisely because the decks were designed to counter it. And in any case if a deck like that of Ryan Spicer (Destiny-Chaos) made the top 8 in SJCS Austin, also making the whole Swiss undefeated, in a lightsworn centric format I don't see why we should worry about losing Judgment Dragon, simply edison is a additive format where I can lose even against a bad noob who doesn't know how to play, while in Lightsworn format the consistency of the decks and their design statistically prevents you from losing because you brick. This is the only truth. Edison is the worst retro format of the 5Ds era.@@user-xt6fq4zt5c

[@lifequality]

If feel like your perspective is correct ...for you from a very subjective point of view. Finding attraction and later satisfaction in a given format depends on so many variables that you just cannot objectively define the best format. This being applicable to today´s modern formats and to older ones. Ofc, major problems being determined by most people is a common factor to share and discuss about. But reading your extremely elaborated paragraphs, I can clearly see that these comments of yours are showing something else as well. Cant really tell what it is. But it is something very personal. Maybe your positive memories about that time. Maybe the importance of the hobby for you at that time. Maybe the achievments you gathered back then, which are maybe missing now. I read this comment of yours and it felt like trying to convince people that the format you chose for you to be the better one would also be the better one for everyone else. This just won´t work. You won´t find the large acceptance you are looking for on the internet. Better work to build sth in your local area for fans of that format yourself. Invest your energy into such things. @@goldeneramanagement.official

[@goldeneramanagement.official]

You're right, I appreciate you taking the time to respond equally as articulately to my comment. Between 2007 and the end of 2009 I had all my greatest successes as a Yugioh player. In general I think that 2009 was my peak as a player because in that year I won the Store Championship, Winter and Summer Cup, practically the best player of the year in my local (which was, in terms of level at the time, one of the best and most difficult in Italy, we have had 3 national champions in our store), as well as several placements in important tournaments and in general a high degree of personal satisfaction with the game. I never felt like I was in a situation like I do in Edison, with my hands completely thrown away, I was always relaxed and never stressed about playing. I won the Summer Cup playing Volcanic Teledad, a deck of my own invention, defeating a meta made up of zombies, lightsworn and GBs. I have always been a born deckbuilder, in the Edison regionals that I topped/won I never played meta but always particular decks rich in tech and imaginative interactions. This, however, is no longer possible. Nowadays, as soon as you pick up an old format you try to make everything super control and based on the floodgate a bit like the current advanced format. While in the past there was more of a tendency not to play like this, it's normal, you're no longer a teenager and the approach to the game of an almost 30 year old is different than what a teenager might have had 13/14 years ago. I probably have distorted memories of the time also due to the fact that many cards were expensive and out of budget for many players and therefore since I could afford them I was stronger than those who didn't have them. In the summer of 2009 I won almost 12 locals in a row...but I was also the only one with CCV in the deck. Unfortunately in my Edison local (in which there are practically only pro players, and they are all my friends/team mates) we already struggle to organize Tengu Plant tournaments with poor participation, either because perhaps money has already been spent on Edison or because there isn't a circuit with qualifications and prizes up for grabs... it's difficult to convince people to play lightsworn format. Furthermore, seeing how people are online, I'm sure they would manage to ruin that format too. I like to play formats not by modernizing or optimizing them, but in their original quintessence, a bit like in Joe Giorlando's videos on the history of the game. Luckily now I have some friends to play old retro formats with but I remain of the opinion that edison is objectively a format with the worst banlist ever. Today I’ve done 3-3 on a Edison Regional with another deck of my invention, and guess what? I haven’t loose because my opponents were more skillful than me, neither because i’ve misplayed, but for bricks. Damn If I hate this format, I could do better? Maybe, is always like gambling, you do bad but you wanna another chance to win. @@lifequality

[@Tyler-Wiley]

@@goldeneramanagement.official Don't forget that the internet is a lot more mainstream now than it was in 2009 - 2011. The average sub-human mongrel can simply KZbin a deck getting first place and copy it card for card and do well. There's no room for innovation anymore because everything is handed to the average player without having to put in any work.

[@justinw4447]

Ran into your video by chance. Brings back a lot of memories. I guess you can put me among the boomers as this format was the one I enjoyed the most. Ever since YuGiOh became the who goes first, does a billion things on the first turn, played half of his deck, lock you out kind of thing... I literally lost interest and moved on. If this becomes a thing again, maybe I may pick up the game again. But enough of me, Great Video btw. Cheers mate!

[@rocktagon]

It's a really popular misconception that some of these decks didn't exist in 2010. They did! Diva zombie had several tops in the format right before edison. Diva hero, vayu turbo, etc. all existed back then too. What HAS changed a lot is that the meta is much more refined, and these decks are better in the edison cardpool than we thought previously

[@scythermantis]

Yeah Gage is often really confidently wrong about stuff lol But I would have been shocked if no one had figured out making Brionac to search Mezuki lol

[@chamber8234]

Havent played anything yugioh in a hot minute, but Synchros and 5Ds were and ARE my obssession. Definitely gonna make an Edison deck to keep as I decide what to do with my years of collecting (bulk lol)

[@jurtyt4514]

Imma play 96(?) OCG format where it’s just 3 of each Exodia piece. Oh and Witch and Sangan trigger when discarded.

[@qwefg3]

I know some people say that set rotations might fix the issue... but honestly it's more than that as the flavors of each era of yugioh were different and it especially shows in some of their attempts to reprint or retrain some of the decks. I would say 2010 yugioh had a good share of what people liked with the older formats as some effects were more manageable to keep track of than others... but not as slow as some of the early versions of yugioh. Personally I think Yugioh needs more Era format events. They are fun and help breath new life into the game as Magic the Gathering has three different versions running about... Rotation, Commander, and All Eras. Yugioh just has... well... main format... and then the games. Oh sure Speed Duels are a thing, but they don't really host or announce most of them and even buying those cards online has them get mixed up with main line yugioh. Yugioh just needs more formats and spices as not everyone is a fan of modern Yugioh... or as the bad joke goes... not getting a hand trap on your first draw and waiting ten minutes for your opponent to finish their play.

[@mrcalvinelm]

My advanced zombie deck from back then teched a couple of terraformings with mainboard 2 zombie world + 2 geartown, along with a single crossout for those pesky lightsworn doggies.

[@stevenlindgren3314]

It’s can honestly be a little scary to get into a new format. I finally decided to jump into it though, been playing Yugioh Tag Force 5 on the PSP. It’s great building deck lists being created today and learn how to play them. So much fun easier to learn now.

[@po747oEXE]

Looking back at all these beautiful high rarities I used to have makes me both nostalgic and sad I don't have them anymore.

[@flackenstien]

I would be interested in playing Edison here and there, but I don't really want to do the research to see what cards are legal in that format. I played back then, but it was many moons ago. Is Crusher Zombies in this era? I played that on Dueling Network quite a bit. And then, this video said it goes up to TSHD? So there's Infernity? Infernity was my first good deck after playground Yugioh, and I still have a build lying around,

[@OtterSpaceCadet]

I'm waiting for the duelist alliance Era to become popular. So much diversity. So many cool strategies. Anyone could win if they could pilot their deck

[@Olin112]

Edison is a good gateway to retro formats. It is missing something though that allows more counterplay and more possibilities in deck building since some few cards and strats can gatekeep a lot of decks in edison format - frogs, absolute zero, ryko caius are difficult to deal with. I think tengu format (the format following edison) allows more diversity since it has more generic staples that allow more counterplay + deck consistency - effect veiler, solemn warning, pot of duality to name a few as well as a much wider synchro pool that allow you to get rid of cards without having to wait to draw the out - scrap dragon, trish for example

[@blurry9744]

You play with the text at the time. So if a card hadn’t been errata’d yet then you play with that version, if it had already been errata’d then you play with the errata. CED would be played with pre errata text if it weren’t banned

Yes, you can play whatever printing of the card you'd like, but you play them using the wording/rulings from Edison (as long as the language matches your TCG/OCG region). It's much more attainable nowadays to get a fully blinged out Edison deck due to all of the reprints. I would have never been able to afford this level of bling back in the day. Like you've mentioned, it can be very cheap to pick up a common'd out version of a deck as well! Very good news for folks trying to get into the game cheaply.
