Why he couldn't steal Blue eyes white dragon cause of Lord of D's effect where dragons can't be targeted from spells traps and monster effects that's why he did that

[@jaimereupert4247]

He used Hane-Hane's effect on Giant Soldier of Stone instead of Summoned Skull because it still could've attacked that turn so he prevented himself from taking damage.

[@hallofguns8174]

Also, Yugi had not summoned that turn so he could have resummoned Summon Skull in his main phase 2.

[@Eric6761]

Meaning he couldnt sunmoned a monster and without a monster he couldnt tribute for DM

[@magimastr1]

Furthermore, the Kaiba Deck knew that he was going to play Black hole next turn. So by keeping Summoned Skull on the field he was able to send it to the graveyard instead of Yugi Deck's hand, where, at least back then, was a more permanent place to neutralize the threat

[@jose060789]

22:00 - He didn’t miss play at all, Lord of D.’s effect reads, "Neither player can target dragon monsters on the field with card effects." Blue-Eyes was immune to targeting effects therefore Change of Heart was only able to target was Lord of D. You’re Welcome.

You know... I continue to forget that little caveat about the Lord of D. If you got a bunch of dragons on the field, have him on there as well and they're protected. Protect him and you're golden. Play the card right and what more can I say? Lord of D's nuts! Hey-o!

[@Aaron__Parker]

Truly like the comment section, they didn't pay attention.

[@Goblin_Hands]

22:00 Lord of D protected Blue-Eyes from targeting. Kinda like in the show.

[@Goblin_Hands]

Also, Hane Hane returned Stone to save damage. Sure, it's an amateur move in the long run, but these are amateurs, not Goat masters with strategy.

[@Goblin_Hands]

Remove Trap only destroys face-up Traps, like Dragon Capture Jar and Ultimate Offering, ironically the only continuous/equip like Traps in the game until MRD Robbin Goblin or MRL Spellbinding Circle. So it was basically a useless card, meanwhile De-Spell similarly may as well have destroyed only face-ups, since Quick-plays weren't even a thing until MRL Rush Recklessly and MST.

[@Goblin_Hands]

Speaking of inconsistency, Blue-Eyes and Komouri Dragon were the only targets for Flute of Summoning Dragon in SDK. Pretty damn sad, but to be fair, if you exclude Curse of Dragon, Winged Dragon #1, and Red-Eyes, the only other Dragons from LOB/SDY were only Petit Dragon, Lesser Dragon, and One-Eyed Sheild Dragon (and the super Secret Tri-Horned Dragon). MRD introduced Baby, Crawling, and Blackland.

[@tatsuhirosatou5513]

@@MmmBeer what they changed lord of D.? And yes it did give blanket protection from targeting dragons. Edit I looked it up and he still does the same thing they just reworded his effect to use less words.

[@therandominfochannel6619]

Hane-Hane bouncing goant soldier wasn't a misplay. If his only goal was to avoid damage that turn without a plan to alsonget rid of the skull it would have been. But he already had dark hole in hand ready to take out the skull before it would get to attack again. Since it had already attacked that turn and he could dark hole it before it could do more damage, giant soldier was the most logical target. And as others said, Remove trap only worked on fsce up traps, and Lord of D prevented dragons from being targeted

Sleeves weren't really a necessity because the game was just starting out and new and no one really saw the value in the cards. Nowadays, the old cards hold a lot of value because they were the OG in yugioh and also because the game blew up in ways no one expected.

Correction. Yes, at the time, only 15 fusions were allowed, and only access to 3 Polymerizations was likely. That is...until Fusion Gate happened. Fusion Gate was the first spell card that granted access to multiple fusion summoning even if you had 3 Polymerizations in a deck. After a very long while, that's where Supreme King's Castle came into the picture. A Fusion Gate with access only to your Evil Hero monsters.

"you should keep your deck 50/50 for monsters and spells and traps." Sky striker, eldlitch, chain burn, altergeist, and literally every combo deck would like to have a word with you.

Yeah, unfortunately people can be downright mean and rude without any reason or even when you did a slight mistake. It seems like there's no positive support group within YGO community

19:35 Hane Hane is pronounced "Ha Nea Ha Nea" We all can learn something from 2003 Yugioh, even Konami. Make Traps great again...and also, give us Gate Guardian support already. All fans want it. ALL FANS.

21:30 "Wa Bow Kuu". I always pronounced it as "Wah bah Kuu" like Wabuffet.

Just a gate guardian retrain that actually does something would be miles ahead of what it is now.

[@darkwyngraym]

Yall werent supposed to find out how its pronounced lol. Yeah hani means blade/ feather in japanese.

This includes me then and I couldn't care less about gate guardian support if it happened or not

[@TechDragon1]

I would absolutely love some Gate Guardian support.

[@PrimeroJinJusuke]

Elemental HEROes had enough Fusion Monsters to exceed 15 cards back then, so the Extra Deck limit made it unable for them to use more than 15 Fusion Monsters, especially now that there are more and better HERO Fusion Monsters.

And the links

[@Vic_Chaos_]

Two things, guys: #1, 21:37 Remove Trap can only target face up Trap Cards, so it couldn't have been used. #2, 21:47 Lord of D. prevents the opponent from targeting Dragon-type monsters with card effects, so Change of Heart had to be used on Lord of D.

[@RichardDuryea]

There was one rule that I guess was something my friends and I just did. When a spell or trap was played, it wouldn't leave the field until the End Phase. So if someone played Monster Reborn the spell would still occupy that space on the board. Personally I think too many spells are being played these days, going through half your deck in one turn is preposterous and I would like to see an idea like this implemented. But hey I'm just an old man yelling on his porch.

[@bignerd7683]

22:10 he couldnt take blue eyes due to lord of d effect that prevent dragons from being targeted.

[@janithernest3929]

2003 was weird especially in the anime when use cards like cards of sanctity allowed you draw 6 cards.

Shame it doesn't have that effect in the TCG as it would have been one of the greatest cards in the game and far better than Pot of Greed.

The guy with the 2,000 card deck was actually a judge, and knew he would be allowed to enter the deck. He did it to prove how ridiculous the rule was, the deck was full of cards that made you shuffle your deck, and he was DQ’d in his first game for taking too long to shuffle.

I remember having this set back in the day. Kinda miss the old school yugioh card formats. One thing about the change of heart could only target kaibas lord of d because lord of d stops dragons from being targeted. 8/10 Video. Would be awesome seeing more videos like this.

Can we just agree that the sample duel was completely choreographed? The narrow life points, the upsets, and the final board with Dark Magician beating BEWD is clearly intentional.

Remove trap only destroys “Face up “ trap cards. Also the change of heart wasn’t a missplay cause Lord of D. Protects dragons from being targeted.

he didnt take blue eyes because lord of d says "All Dragon-Type monsters cannot be targeted by Spell Cards, Trap Cards, or other effects that specifically designate a target while this card is face-up on the field." so the only card he could have stolen was lord of d. there you go :)

[@Nerobyrne]

people who played that one very specific World Championship gameboy game will remember how they just did ctrl+F and replaced all the instances of "Magic" with "Spell". Which lead to the amazing card called "Dark Spellian".

[@loosapalooza398]

Back in the day no one even bothered with side decks, your side deck was whatever cards are in your collection lol and at the weekly shop meets you'd ask "tributes?" Which essentially meant if you were gonna play by DK rules or not. What a time.
