Retro Retrospective - The DM Era (2002-2005) | Yugioh TCG

[@randomedgygamer2191]

i was there. i remember everything. man this game and anime was/is such a huge part of my life

[@MrDevilcrier]

Just want to say that part of Magic the Gathering's power 9 includes a card that draws 3 cards for 1 mana so MtG players are pretty familiar with how good more cards are for no/little resource

[@1Pidds]

The difference imo is just how ridiculously fast a Draw 2 card snowballs your gameplan in Ygo as opposed to Magic There is a card that banishes (i.e. exiles) the top 10 cards on your deck to draw two, and that card is limited to one right now It is THAT good

[@ich3730]

@@1Pidds PoG would be insta-banned in MTG as well tho, same for pot of desires ( i think thats the one that banishes the top 10? ). Drawing 2 for 0 ressource is just broken in any card game

[@thatguymatt5816]

Drawing is good in literally every card game

[@melindagreer4177]

It is not the same at all

[@connermorgan9223]

Pot of Greed is Draw 2 for 0. There’s a big difference between that and Draw 3 for 1 (blue I might add).

Man I remember buying starter deck Yugi when the anime came out, good times

[@Hear86ify]

4:15 in the 1st ed kaiba starter deck lord of d. says that all dragons are unaffected, not only untargetable, the errata came with the unlimited reprints. If you can pull off the flute activation requirements and summon 2 dragons you can dark hole an entire board and only your opponent's monsters and lord of d would die

[@Mrkevi123]

I don't think "target" was a standard phrase back then. We were all so confused how to deal with these scenarios

[@dallisjohnson662]

I've been watching as many early year retrospectives as I can find. This one is the most thorough. If anyone know one better, let me know!

[@drew8235]

Man, these old cards are so nostalgic. I never played Yugioh past the first few sets, and I'm so thankful for that, considering how horrible it has become, but I will never forget those early days of broken crazyness.

[@pascalsimioli6777]

It was also horrible at first. It probably had only a couple of good formats around the edison/goat format and that's it, the game fundamentals are wrong to begin with

[@Shadowrulzalways]

@@pascalsimioli6777 I want to say that. The game has gotten better after the link format. We have tons of Legacy support

[@isak645]

I installed master duel, looked nice.first move opponent summons 5 monsters..i just surr and delete the game.🧐😔

[@zachsteiner]

Ehh imo it didn’t get truly terrible as far as being way too busted and power crept until the late 2010s. Before then, it was still very fun.

[@aquilaxtremeGT]

Thats one of the best yugioh video ever! It is exactly what i need right now. Thanks for explaining everything so detailed.😅

[@cosmiccynic2757]

I love this series, very informative!

[@Diamond1234]

I like listening to these, it makes me feel really happy when I saw the same cards that used to be meta and go "ay this effect is pretty good, I'm going to put this in my deck (using 4 star instant summons because yeah, it was easier just to put them out on the field and smack the opponent instead of trying to setup a summon)" in a YGO game called Stardust Accelerator haha, deck building when not knowing cards and reading their effects when I got them and deciding if they worked with my deck or not was the best part of the game, haha.

[@Expendable1]

13:52 I'm getting back into yugioh. It looks like for the catapult turtle OTK the original card didn't have the once per turn restriction. But is that still the ruling for GOAT format? Because the 25th anniversary reprinting of the card has once per turn listed.

[@jonjacobjingleheimersmith1424]

Yata lock. I still have my tournament deck from when i was a kid.

[@joebaumgart1146]

I still have some unopened packs from Blue eyes and a yugi and kaiba starter deck. I just found them when I was cleaning. They're unopened but the box has seen better days. There's some freying on the corners and I had to blow the dust off them. Are they worth any money?

[@JudaiMaverick86]

I enter during the release of Labyrinth of Nightmare :)

[@qweschuning]

P.A.C.M.A.N. is such a sauced name.

[@BenUsher-m9v]

so much nostalgia. I guess this is when i played, cuz all these cards are super familiar

[@solidsnivy8394]

I'm pretty exodia was on limited list was because of OCG reasons not the anime because it became tier 0 ftk in OCG.

[@ravinercf]

It was limited at first for that reason but soon just became for anime Resons and still persists to this day

[@codyhanson1344]

@@ravinercf anime reasons makes no sense tho, as they went out of their way to show that exodia and its limbs were actually played in multiple copies in the anime.

[@AlexaRobin21]

@@codyhanson1344 Aren't those specifically pointed out as counterfeit cards?

[@thisisiampie6946]

Actually waboku was worse than it is right now, it originally only worked for baffle

[@megamachopop]

What does this even mean.

[@TheCosmicJester01]

First! Seriously though excited to watch this. Love these kinds of history videos about Yugiohs formats, especially since I don't know much about these things. Keep up the great work!

[@thomasschulte6745]

Sinister serfant

[@victorleppas3067]

I am a bit nostalgic at the time Konami try really hard to ballance powerful cards with cost and do good banlists... Now you have an unfair tier 0 who mill haft your deck T0 without his others handtraps, wander and mystic mine who is an one card win at 3 with no activation or maintenance cost who let a player stall to death by playing no monsters or with just slow burn... Great

[@vorebiz]

It's weird how there's so much nostalgia for this era of YuGiOh. If you actually played the game, locals was just full of beatdown, then hand control/yata-lock, then chaos. If you went to a regional tournament the top 8 sometimes had as few as 2-3 cards different. The best years of YuGiOh were not these ones.

[@ich3730]

also actual P2W. You couldnt even outplay someone in these days, if their beaters are bigger then yours, thats just it

[@pascalsimioli6777]

Nostalgia doesn't need quality. Nostalgia is basically a "oh gosh I'm getting older and I don't want to deal with my mortality, I need a connection to my childhood, like this thing that I used to watch/listen/play when I was a kid and times were better cause death was much further away"

[@mitchgilbert6894]

It's not nostalgia. It's just a fun game to play.
