The History of Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Rules

[@yubelious5584]

In the video, I noticed you called them "Master Rules" for each singular rule change. I'm glad that you fixed this mistake in this comment down here. "Master Rule" should be used for one of them in singular, while "Master Rules" should be used to describe a group of them in plural. This was something I just noticed recently myself, and wanted to spread awareness of this.

ghost hoodie animation yeah same, I’ve never dipped into what’s going on in the competitive Yu-Gi-Oh scene. Id also like to see how it’s evolved, especially in the beginning where it began to diverge from casual play, I mean, modern Yu-gi-oh is so much fun casual, all the crazy tuner and xyz monsters and everything.

A few years ago someone (I think farfa?) uploaded a video called something along the lines of “the history of yugioh in one duel” and it was a really cool duel that went through like 15 years worth of yugioh eras. It was a few years ago so it’s obviously not up to date now, but definitely worth the watch

Doug, I love longer videos like these. I tend to listen to videos in the background while I play a game (in fact I played Animal Crossing while listening to this) and longer form videos like this are perfect for that.

[@mattyorshin]

Master rule 5 got me back into the game . hated when they added link monsters

[@demontferrat]

Link monsters are not a bad thing, it's good to have a monster that you can summon just by having 2-3 monsters on the field without caring for levels or Tunners. The problem was making your beloved old decks unusable, that was a bad call, and even pendulums(That i don't understand to this day because i never cared) didn't made all the old machanics obsolete. You could keep using any deck ignoring the mechanic. Link changed that and the new Master rule corrects it.

[@kenzofromtheyu-gi-squad2601]

José Manuel Konami created link monsters in attempt to slow down the game, but after a couple months when so many more good link monsters were released, it made the game even faster than before, so then, they created the new master rule to return back to before while still nerfing pendulums. The real problem mechanic

[@ScionStorm1]

@@kenzofromtheyu-gi-squad2601 Konami: Links are to slow down the game. Also Konami: Encouraged Extra Linking where your opponent is locked out of their entire Extra Deck. But Pendulums are the _real_ problem mechanic...

ScionStorm That’s what I was trying to say by saying that they added better link monsters

José Manuel exactly! Link monsters were great i loved the idea of monsters that had effects based on what were around it. It was master rules 4 basically making them mandatory for most decks that can go to hell.

I stopped playing the game in 2008 before synchros but returned last year so this was an interesting video

[@skylermorrow4085]

The same way you fondly remember synchros I actually have fond memories of xyz monsters. I started playing yugioh after I watched some reruns of the old series and after I started watching zexal I think I was ten or nine at the time(I think, It was right after the series started.) Anyway I got some random packs from gx and the utopia structure deck. Back then I really only had my grandma to play with even though she didn't really understand much of the cards (hell I didn't understand the cards myself). Now I know what my cards do and I have friends to play with, but those were nice times.

[@TSfish94]

The “going first is advantageous” thing is always surprising to me, but that’s because I only play the duel links format where turn 2 is significantly stronger than turn 1. But it makes sense in the tcg format where there’s more life points and more options for negation and disruption.

[@Ed-1749]

The thing about going first is that you dont have to only rely on handtraps to interact with your opponent because you can set up your board with traps and monster effects, which generally undoes any advantage of going second if you play it right.

[@Begeru]

It’s interesting how old school players would complain about synchros when we basically had the same concept with contact fusion. There were multiple fusion monsters that could be summoned by just sending to the gy/removing from play the fusion materials from the field to summon the fusion monster (like XYZ Dragon and Neo Spacian monsters.)

[@Sheeps856]

I'm sure other people have said it, but Magic the Gathering has always had a "15 cards or 0 cards" side deck, and it may be that yugioh followed this simply because "That's clearly what card games do". MtG's side deck rules include that you can be DQ'd from official games if your side deck doesn't contain 0 or 15, but they eventually changed it to allow people to add basic lands (which you may have any number of) to their side deck if they accidentally register an incomplete side deck at a tournament.

[@lilandre6216]

Thank you for making this video. I was very confused because I am just now getting back into the game during master rules 5 and I was confused when pendulum zones were gone, you no longer needed link monsters to get into extra deck plays, and you know longer draw at the beginning of your turn if your going first. I was very confused by field spells being used at the same time. After watching this video I have a way better idea of how Yugioh evolved over time. So far loving master rules 5.

[@luiscortazar6291]

I've been retired from Yu-Gi-Oh for a while now. I got hooked on the Pendulum mechanic, and invested a lot in it. Link Monsters and Master Rule 4, nerfed both Pendulum summons and the Extra deck restrictions. I've played a few times with Master Rule 5, but I thought I had my fun with the game ( I barely won any games, mostly lost. Yugioh is a money game). I still have my Pendulum Magician Odd eyes deck. My only regret is not experimenting with other decks.

When Synchros came out I actually really liked the idea of Tuners being required for a summoning mechanic, Xyz is where I started to have a problem, Xyz just felt like Synchros without Tuners and if they were more generic and then Konami proved me wrong by making Links which were VERY generic to a game-breaking point and you cannot deny that considering how many Links ended up banned. Synchros and Pendulums are objectively the most unique and balanced Extra Deck mechanics added (Pendulums were NOT balanced at the time they were added, but they are now).

Synchro is actually a big part of the reason why I stopped playing.

Then, syncrhos came out, along with the new anime that I really didn't like at the time (and still don't, playing yugioh while you're driving a motorcyle is both the edgiest and the dumbest twist to the formula I can think of), and thats where I was like "yeah, ok, maybe yugioh isn't for me anymore".

When it came to synchros I only really used Stardust dragon when they came out because I always used a primarily dragon deck. Whether it was Blue-Eyes or Red-Eyes I always tried to build a deck that best complimented them with what cards I had in middle school. Which Stardust was not one but it was still there for emergencies with the broken trap card Scrap-Iron Scarecrow

[@___i3ambi126]

I was only a kid at the time, but i remember synchros being beyond busted when they came out. This was the first strategy type that didnt have to draw or search very specific cards to get out a specific board, and could even use the same cards in hand to get out different options based on what you needed for the situation. So where old decks would need to play as many of their core strategy cards as possible to hope to draw into and would need to draw counters/outs every time they needed them, these new decks could just run a full list of tuners and non-tuners that combo well together so they could practically always open their best ending monsters and perfect outs. This inherent advantage meant synchros/tuners would have needed to be complete garbage as individual cards to not completely outclass everything else at the time. I personally like this shift now since it made yugioh so much more consistent and gave the turn player so many more options, but id say that masterrule change is the largest shift yugioh has ever had.

[@Zanji1234]

when they came out they where yout "good" until the hole "Dark Armed Dragon" Decks emerged which could spam LV8 anytime.

@@Zanji1234 Ive heard 3 DADs is traumatic for old school players, but have never learned exactly why. Did the decks have lots of ways to get to the card or were they just power cards when happened to be drawn? What did the decks do when they didnt draw DAD?

[@KeroTheInvincible]

I've always liked Yu-Gi-Oh, but never actually had the cards to play it. Hearing about the "change" to Field mechanics had me scratching my head, thinking, "wait, that's not how it always was?" Season 1 of the anime had some bizarre situations and rulings for sure, but just look at the duel between Yugi and Mako. Yugi's half of the field was rock, Mako's half was ocean. Seems logical to me, since both players have a field card zone. What EXACTLY was so hard to comprehend about that?

As someone who mainly uses fusion, master rule 4 killed me, and i just started playing random stuff for fun, MR5 allowed me to play my HEROs again

[@NoshuHyena]

I think MR4 was meant to slow the game down, and it succeeded at that, only until they started releasing Link monsters good enough to act as combo tools and endboards on their own. That meant Synchro, Fusion, and Xyz strategies were left way behind in terms of speed and versatility. So MR5 isn't necessarily a better designed ruleset (like how pendulums zones were fixed in 4), but it was a necessary change nonetheless.

[@mustafamrouweh7873]

I think the problem with MOST and emphasis on the word most not all pendulum monsters/cards is that Konami made them work not as a new mechanic but as one big very synergistic archetype Look at Pepe's and pend magicians or mythical beasts and endemion and cards from metalfoes and Qlis and Zefra cards somehow some way ALMOST every pendulum card was good in almost every pure pendulum deck and decks that didn't synergies with the all of the rest it wasn't good enough to be competitive especially compared to its tier0 counter parts And the only good "pendulum" deck that strayed away for the crowd was DDD and it's entirely pendulum focused however it shows what pendulum should have need ( a supporting mechanic to help main mechanics ) And that is what I think the problem with pendulums was .

[@Stinkoman87]

I wouldn't say 'all'; most get ignored, like the entirety of the Dinomist archetype, or every magispecter besides Unicorn. But enough to make a deck. One single deck, that is the only competitive deck to use the mechanic.

[@babysinclairfan]

One thing I found strange about the tcg's approach to master rule 4 was the card pool. The ocg released the link vrains pack to help older decks keep up. The tcg released most of those cards years later in duel overload. By then, master rule 2020 had come into effect so there was no point

[@redhotglockzz2615]

I really enjoyed this video d! I came back into the game a little bit before MR5 and or I finally stopped playing like way before the first elemental hero cards came 😂 but now I understand yugioh today. But with such a time gap between when I stopped and got back into a lot had changed and I was always curious about when certain changes took place, for example that each player could have a field spell active at the same time. So I really enjoyed this video because it filled me in on all the master rule changes and when new gameplay mechanics came into the game.

The easiest way to explain synchro to people that thought it would kill the game was to tell them it was like fusion summoning but without needing poly.

Im a kid and i started yugioh in 2015. I LOVED the game and i learnt all the summons very quickly. Master rule 4 is ok i guess but it really takes the fun out of the game. I miss summoning my extra deck cards anywhere and setting the pendulum scale without havjng to worry about my spell and trap zones. Im still into yugioh but i really prefer master rule 3 and i play causally at home with that format. I remember when i got yuya's deck and duelling my brother (he had a deck of cards thrown together) and i just had a blast. Im not gonna say Link summoning ruined yugioh as a whole but i will say it took some fun out of the game.

Dzeeff, I watch long form stuff on KZbin all the time. 30 minutes was fine. Still, the timestamps are appreciated.
