Old school Yugioh was the best lets all be honest.

[@unbeatable750]

It absolutely was not

[@iguessYoo]

@@unbeatable750 your funny 🤣🤣

[@unbeatable750]

@@iguessYoo and correct, old yugioh was so ass

[@gravekeepersven82]

Hey lemme play Magical Scientist FTK against you to see if you like old yugioh anymore.

[@unbeatable750]

@@gravekeepersven82 or Exodia deep draw FTK

[@dio1018]

old school yugi for me is the ps2 yugi-oh and they were fun (very cool games) . I remember having irl cards but no one actually understood how the game was played we used to just create our own rules and summon the cards with the highest number of stars and then get bored after a minute or 2 .

[@himynameisjumbo]

Nobody had decks like that. Even on the playground, we followed the limited/semi-limited lists which forbade having more than 1 copy of cards like Monster reborn; dark hole, etc.

[@silvertongue.242_99]

There was no archetypes really bsck then so can't blame them for it. The only thing is monster types deck like dragons, warriors, spellcasters and broken generic cards

[@silvertongue.242_99]

And beat down decks

[@DragonBallsolosyourverse]

There was archetypes Toons and harpies.

[@danielramsey6141]

@@DragonBallsolosyourverse Yeah But they Sucked during the Early Metal Raider Days! Now Harpies Had a Super Powerful Spell in “Elegant Egoist”, it there Wasn’t Enough Targets for that Card to Hit! And often Times it was just dead if you Couldn’t get either Harpie Lady or the Sisters into your hand or on the field!

[@duyknguyen]

The Point that FTK Scientist not even known by players then is the Best way to play Yugioh, imagine Snake-eyes wasn't known and we just play new Ancient Gear VS Yubel!! 😅 Maybe we dont play competitive and actually enjoy the game casually with our friends 😂 Just ignore Meta and enjoy our aesthetic new Anime Decks

[@pablomadrid6962]

Then the point of old vs new YGO is moot because you can do that in modern too. Hell, it's better now because those decks receive actually decent cards.

[@PURPLE_G0J0]

As a returning player who’s only ever played recess matches in 2005/2010 with no concept of Meta or banned lists, what is Edison format?

[@DragonBallsolosyourverse]

Synchro era yugioh

[@siopaoguy]

It's 2010 format. Its really fun. Not too slow, but not too fast of an era in Yu-Gi-Oh.

[@DragonBallsolosyourverse]

Its pretty much the start of the special summon spam era of the game were still in Its as you can get without going back to gx era yugioh which functionally aint even the same game.

[@DragonBallsolosyourverse]

Modernism People applying their current beliefs retroactively to a older time period Eg modern yugioh players talking about classic in a meta context cause that's how they play ignoring most kids who played it never played that way nor do the adults who like it currently. The whole appeal is that it's not meta/modern yugioh.

[@gambitgambles]

This is exactly what I was about to say. Nobody played meta and I assure you nobody played mechanical chaser that is a MYTH!

[@DragonBallsolosyourverse]

I dont think compairing mechanical chaser as power creep is remotely the same as how it works in modern yugioh as it's still beatable unlike snake eyes La jinn with axe of despair >> mechanical chaser Besides it was not intentional because the stat value was used in the manga before they were in the tcg

[@danielramsey6141]

Toons and Harpies were the First Archetypes. And They Were Awful since There was No real Payoff to Either! As Toons were SUPER NERFed. But that was fine. But for OLD DM Era Yugioh! We Were Forced to Forced to Endure OVERPOWERED SINGLE Cards! And MOST decks were Beatdown Level Four Decks! Not helped by the Fact that Equips Were Useless back in the Day, Unless they Hindered your Opponent!

[@josephcourtright8071]

Pot of Greed would be played in the sideboard for when they go first. Going 2nd, it will just be negated. You are better off with a hand trap. And engine is getting thinner that I think Pot of Prosperity would give better consistency than two random cards.

[@PyckledNyk]

Tbh when I first rejoined the game I didn’t even know about Sevens and Vrains. In my mind, DM was still old school, whereas now I realize DM is like YuGiOh prehistory

[@jimmypham1230]

I left at 2010 when synchro just started. That’s when I was just out of high school and couldn’t afford the new cards and power creep was too strong. So I left. Came back now…just to play free on master duel

[@karelsvobodnik6299]

200 usd in 2004/5 thats like at least a thousand a copy of mechanical chaser adjusted for inflation no? "Jeez 1 of SP is ruining the game cuz it costs 80"

[@GangBangTCG]

I had to thumbs down and leave because this man straight up said if pot of greed came back it wouldn’t do anything. Like shut up

[@MajinVegito100]

Delinquent Duo is still broken fr. Taking hand traps from your opponents hand and/or their starters… yeesh

[@zeno-kunofficial2214]

"Modern Yu-Gi-Oh is bad because there are so many unfair cards like Tearlement and Snake Eyes." "Old Yu-Gi-Oh is bad because there are so many unfair cards like Chaos Emperor Dragon and Yatagarasu." Like, if you say any of that, then is there any fun playing this card game??

[@gravekeepersven82]

Everyone forgets the numerous FTKs that existed in DM /GX Era till they get destroyed by Magical Scientist ,Exodia FTK or Chain Burn OTK and get big mad over it and ragequit.😊

[@thekittenfreakify]

2011 is what pushed away people speicifically storm of ragnarok

[@LittleMushroomGuy]

13:20 yeah? you dont sit there and wait till your LP go to zero You concede and start another game

[@siopaoguy]

People SHOULD concede and start a new game. But it is also considered disrespectful in some circles to surrender before your opponent completes their big play.

[@LittleMushroomGuy]

@@siopaoguy yeah, but since its Yata, clearing the hand, placing yata and hitting you once is the big play.

[@logandelaharpe6362]

It’s a free plus one to think pot of greed wouldn’t played is idiotic

[@gambitgambles]

I know that another comment mentioned this but you if you were not there at the time you can't comprehend what old yugioh was really like. People were not running the most broken cards and I assure you nobody went to the internet to make decks. People played with what they had and we had fun playing the cards we liked.

[@makokx7063]

Thank you fellow old person. I grew up in the 90s-2000s playing MTG, Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh and even DBZ card games and my decks and everyone around me (fellow kids) decks were all made up of the few cards we could afford and strategies we came up with ourselves. It was crazy fun and you could never predict who was going to win or what the other people were playing. This might be an "Ok, boomer" line but I think the internet ruined card games. Now anyone can look at the best of the best decks online and just order the cards they need. Thousands upon thousands of cards to choose from, infinite deck possibilities and everyone plays the same 10. It's glorified rock paper scissors at this point.

[@NotAbot1011]

Yeah, that makes since. However, it's still unfair to call current meta bad when meta is just rarely fun. Midrange is the reason most ppl play any format

[@gambitgambles]

@@NotAbot1011 The only gripe about the current meta is that people are playing 10+ handtraps and that kills almost all decks only the newer stronger ones survive and mirror matches are not my thing.

[@phorchybug3286]

17:08 Understandable.

[@Driscoll1997]

Loved old school.... But i never took it seriously just hanging with the boys.(playground) Last set of cards i bought was the elemental heros

[@buddasogudda]

Set one pass for 15 turns back in 2002-7 was horrible

[@makokx7063]

I was there for it and I'd argue it was so much more fun than the modern version of watching your opponent play solitaire.

[@buddasogudda]

@@makokx7063 I was also there for it and I would never go back. The duels feel much more interactive, with hand traps and board breakers interrupting each other's plays. It's nice to have at least that before going back to set one pass.

[@makokx7063]

@@buddasogudda Interactive?!?! LOL Turn 1, Imma play 20 cards right now, ok you're turn. Ok, I'm gonna - Negate Then I'll - Negate How about? - Negate Ok, back to you, I guess. 20 more cards, swing for game. Flipping a coin is more fun than modern yugioh

[@buddasogudda]

@@makokx7063 lol you know mtg exists if you want slow boring games

[@buddasogudda]

Lol then play mtg lol they love slow 4 hour games.

Can barely understand you or the original video for most of it because you're speaking over it

Yes, old yugioh was ASS. It sucked

[@jjasuka]

Compared to now?

[@musvijajuzagrilariocara8583]

@@jjasuka both suck

[@DragonBallsolosyourverse]

Depends on your metrics I think it was a good game

[@siopaoguy]

GOAT era Yu-Gi-Oh to me was a bad game, but it's still incredibly fun and I get the appeal of it. It's not meant for me since Heart of the Cards moments happen WAY TOO OFTEN.

[@DragonBallsolosyourverse]

Its a just a prefernce Current yugioh is a meta only game, very fast paced and what not Old yugioh Slow and kinda janky It actually being a bad game like a objective lv is just arguing magical scientist and yata broken therefore game sucks As if there has not been 5 tier zero formats in the past few years Snake eye, tear and kash Which mind you most people played Where literally nobody even knows magical scientist outside of modern players trying to own yugi boomers I say this cause nobody who actually likes classic yugioh ever brings this up
