I will say the Special Summon "fix" can feel like a pretty tempting option. One of the things I feel kinda gets overlooked in the discussion of the modern state of the game - and really for all of Yu-Gi-Oh's history - has been the dominance of one playstyle over all others from format to format. In the early stages of the game, with such a small pool of cards, Beatdown strategies were pretty much the only strategy worth playing. Then, Control decks began to take over for a while, all the way to the modern era where players are heavily encouraged to play Combo stategies or get steamrolled. It's this lack of variety in strategies - the fact that competitive play can be so heavily dominated by one style of play - that seems to get overlooked in these kinds of discussions.

It's absolutely not viable, but I actually really like the idea of the cost system from the GameBoy Colour era YGO games. You have 400 "points" to build a deck and all cards are fair game, most cards are worth 10. Something like Pot of Green is worth like, 70. You could, say, run 3 copies of all 4 Dragon Rulers but that puts you at 350 points so your remaining 28 cards have to be complete and utter garbage. It's too much work to ever implement but it could open up a lot of interesting deck-building options.

But I THINK what Zero356 is saying is not what you're thinking, and a very cursory googling seems to back me up. It's not a case of "Okay, you can use three copies of Butterfly Dagger Elma if you want, but not with Gearfried the Iron Knight". Instead, the way it works is besides the very few cards that are just banned, you have a limited list where instead of 1 copy of each limited card, you get 1 limited card TOTAL. As in you can have one Cyber Stein OR one Dark Grepher OR one Speedroid Terror Top but not all three. Obviously the existing ban-and-limited list would need to be reworked to accommodate this. The Exodia pieces alone break it unless you had a traditional limited list along with this deck-limited list. But I could see some value to it. Pot of Greed, Graceful Charity, and Delinquent Duo suddenly become less of a no-brainer when you can only have one of them instead of one of each.

2:15-2:21 Well that just sounds like brilliant fusion with extra steps

One of the ways to fix Yugioh is for Konami to make more sets like Duel Devastator. Another way is for Konami to stop cherry-picking reprints and have them be equal regardless of the cards being recently released or expensive like for example with the Freezing chains structure deck instead having the replacement for Crossout designator be Eisbahn the card could be Ice Dragon’s prison and have it be a super rare while Raigeki is a common.

That last argument is weird too, indeed every deck is the same right now not in the cards but in the style of play. Back then we had a smaller card pool that's why not only style but cards were the same, with the amount of cards we have right now that should be something of the past and sort of is, but the goal of every deck now is to fetch a negator from the extra as quickly as turn one, the only difference is how and who is summoned, that is a design flaw with so many decks with different play strategies now

As someone with social anxiety around people I don't know, having a chess timer sounds like a really good idea. I always stop after every play to ask if my opponent is ok with my play in fear that if I just keep playing I'll play beyond where they wanted to play a card and by constantly stopping to ask if they're ok with my play I end up in fear that I'm annoying them by asking for confirmation after every play. ...It'd be really nice if it was just a standardized "make play, press button, wait for opponent to press other button, repeat"

Even on an empty turn, the timer is being hit 8 times for priority passing. Almost every action adds 4 more hits for the card to resolve and the resolution window. Entering and exiting the battle phase is another 4, and one battle would have 12 for attack declaration, battle step, start of damage calc, before damage calc, after damage calc, and end of damage step. And then finally 2 more hits for an empty MP2. Chess clocks for IRL Yugioh just would be extremely tedious if your trying to play the game properly.

@Vinicius Viana Deniz the purpose of the video is not to offer fixes, but to show why common ones don’t.

The main problem is that Yu gi oh had exponentially made its most basic interactions and mechanics obsolete or unintuitive. Normal Summoning is the most rare for of summoning, while Special is the most common. Setting a monster is useless unless it's for a very VERY specific function that brings enough advantage with enough speed to circumvent such action. Face-down for monsters has become a way of deactivating them and an undesirable condition except for, again, very specific situations. The graveyard has so many living effects that it's more like a purgatory or a standby area waiting for effects to trigger or do something. Banishing was going pretty much the same way until they made it banishing face-down, which in combination with regular banishing face-up shows how much of a mess the game is. Yu gi also has a problem that since all cards from the very beginning are also legal, they cannot really introduce any major change or solution without having to pretty much update everything that came before them. I love and hate this game so freaking much. The problem is that they might not make any changes at all, because in the short term any change is scarier than no change at all. No change means everybody is on the same page as they've always been, and changing anything too radically may alienate the player base, which is an extremely high risk move.

The should start making cards that effect card economy. They don't destroy, they don't negate but the do offer a way to effectively check your opponent and give u a chance to play. And it's all control, combo is control going first, and the others go second. Unless your extremely lucky you never have an absolute perfect hand and that's why we have searchers. They've been making a lot of search cards forever and no real checks or balances against them. Maxx c was probably the first true check against them and they trash that by banning it, but if they start producing more cards with the idea of card economy in mind then we would have better duels and phase out this age of going first or die

I feel like Duel Links is currently the game's best hope. A fully digital platform where instead of a banlist cards can just be eratta'd as need be. The problem is that if the physical version stops production, a massive amount of players won't jump over to the digital version. Also Konami seems to have a policy that Duel Links' cards and their TCG counterparts be at least somewhat similar, which really limits what erattas Duel Links can make. Also, if they effectively utilize erattas to prevent power creep, no one will be forced to keep buying card packs to keep up with the meta.

Yugioh is probably one of the toughest games for a new player to get into. I first started playing when there were only a couple of basic types of monsters (normal, effect, fusion, toon, etc) and mostly simple card text (with a few exceptions), and I was able to watch the game expand and grow, from a simple numbers game, to an archtyepe-focused game, with a new summoning mechanic added every few years, with lots of time to adapt to the new cards and archtypes. I can't imagine coming into the game now with literally hundreds of different archtypes, and nearly a dozen monster types. At this point in time, the only way to make Yugioh a more approachable game is to start over completely, which is what Duel Links (and now Turbo Duels) has done. They shaved off almost the entirety of the extra deck mechanics, and removed a ton of problem cards, while keeping the archtype and combo driven aspects of the game, as well as massively limiting the card pool. Duel Links introducing new summoning mechanics every few years allowed all the new players to learn and adapt, just as we did back in the olden days.

There’s definitely a high barrier to entry, and such a high skill wall (as well as needing a card index with intricate knowledge of interactions) that it really does seem overcomplicated for someone who just wants to sit down and play a game. For instance, I’ve been out of Pokémon TCG since... Gym Challenge, or so. I opened the app, set up, and I’m 100% comfortable playing any deck I’m handed by the game, and I think I want to actually get back into it beyond that. I try EDOPro, or look at Duel Links, and I’m completely lost, because even core mechanics have changed - hell, I got out before 5Ds, so I didn’t even know about Tuners for a while. They even changed the shape of the playfield twice! Once for Pendulum (though now that’s back to normal) and once for Links. So I don’t know what’s going on. I understood (vaguely) Synchro, didn’t even know about Dark Synchro until I heard about the new Ursarctics and people mentioned their mechanic was similar. I figured out Xyz. I can get some of what’s happening otherwise, but the point is I just don’t know enough of the cards, the mechanics, or the archetypes to make the game enjoyable.

About #2... just change by default every effect in *soft* opt, kinda like in Rush Duels, where the opt is implicit. It fixes most broken cards, and if the design of a card is intended to be activated multiple times with a cost (like, for example, Decode Talker) you can just add "This card's effect can be activated multiple times" (basically the opposite of what's now)

Honestly, I feel the general comment/complaint about limiting Special Summoning is less about just limiting the pure combos themselves, and more about limiting the ridiculous end states modern YGO first-turns have a tendency to end on. We've all seen the examples of people burning through half their deck or more on their first turn, and then ending that turn with so many negates and blocks that the other guy practically can't even play the game. Now I'm by no means an expert, far from it even, but I still feel safe to say that that's a serious problem.

I think Doug was stretching a little when he said that it would just be confusing. Upon playing a card, you would have to tap the button on your timer. If the opposite player doesn't have a response, he can just tap his timer and you can continue your turn normally. Sure it would fucking suck to have to press it every 5 seconds because of the game itself, but the cards on their own don't make the game. It's the players at the end of the day.

An idea I've been kicking around, what if instead of banning certain cards, we just ban certain combinations of cards in decks? That way we can bave less cards on the banlist overall. Like, make it illegal to have all the dragon rulers in one deck. Or having specific tuners in the same deck with problematic link monsters

The great thing about collectible card games is that you can implement any of these fixes for your own casual games with your friends. Outside of official tournaments, as long as everyone playing is in agreement, you don't actually need to adhere to official ban lists.

Well Konami wrote about why they created the ban list a long time ago it was because there where a number of Cards that were just better than the cards they were creating and because the cards people already had was just flat out better than what was being created there was little to no real demand for the new cards so to increase sales they created the ban list banning some of the best cards in the game of which the 1st ban list almost entirely comprised of spell and trap cards with Chaos Emperor Dragon and Yata bieng the only monsters with the rest bieng cards like Ragaki, Harpie's Feather Duster, Change of Heart, ect. I don't remember the exact list as that was 16 years ago. So what did players do well they replaced those cards in thier decks with the next best options and adjusted thier play. Dark Hole replaced Ragaki, Heavy Storm replaced Harpie's Feather Duster ect. So the cards people replaced the ban Cards with were already released into the game so within the next ban list or 2 those cards started hitting the ban list as well. And to help make sure newer cards were staying in high demand they started making effects stronger and stronger and also making cards more and more themed decks where more and more Monster, Spell, Trap, and Extra Deck Monsters and thus the power creep that was clearly in the game but wasn't outrageous yet got kicked into hyper overdrive. Thus cards that originally got put on the ban list because they were just better than the cards they were making but at the time weren't actually broken but became broken if they had been allowed to be played in combantion with the newer more powerful cards and effects bieng created.

It's like a weird case of REVERSE power creep. Basically started out by making incredibly powerful cards, to the point that anything they made with a similar effect would be inherently worse. Though, in a vacuum with JUST some of the earliest sets those cards aren't THAT overpowered. Like, what's POG gonna get you in LOB format? A Summoned Skull or Swords of Revealing Light? A raigeki will likely destroy a tribute/La Jinn, or a face-down MEB. A HFD could destory a Swords of Revealing Light or a Trap Hole.

Attack for 5000 and if that wasn't enough to win the game then you are primed to barring a miracle top deck on there count. Yeah I know I picked some choice draws for both Graceful Charity and Pot of Greed. The point is there was a time where bieng able to have both Ragaki and Harpie's Feather Duster in your hand at the same time meant a complete board wipe for your opponent and depending how much stuff they put in there back row that could potentially be a back breaker. Heck if you had a Axe of Despair or 2 along with a Maha Vilo and a Monster Reborn and a Premature Burial that alone could potentially be enough to 1 shot your opponents 8000 life points. While they may not create cards that by themselves may not be as strong as those older cards were they often create cards that synergies with other cards in themed decks so well they can create almost infinite loops within those decks making them exponentially more powerful than anything created in early Yugioh.

They actually did make new support cards. They were so powerful they got banned before they were even printed.

I still think they should do a low-key reset on the banlist, moving everything up that could semi-reasonably come off just to see what’s still broken today. Things like trap dustshoot, the infernities, divine wind of mist valley, night assailant, etc. come to mind

I feel duel links has the right idea for a ban list or 'limited' list might be better. How many people would choose pot of greed over any other single card in the ban list for example

The way to fix Yugioh is to shift back to Duelist Kingdom rules. Every card has specific interactions with every other card in the game, and the rules and effects for most cards or interactions come down to whoever comes up with the cooler effect.

Trinity format has an interesting Special Summoning limit mechanic, and overall, i think it works well.

The normal summon + tribute summon every turn would probably work better as part of a field spell than as a master rule 6 addition. And instead of a special summon limit, more cards that work like nibiru (similar to the variety of ghost girl hand traps) could be pretty cool.

having a static special summon limit would probably break stuff, but a dynamic one perhaps wouldn't. Like for instance a limit on special summons equal to the turn count + 1

I always felt like normal monsters need a buff because they are worthless compared to effect monsters. I would really like to see normal monsters being normal summoned without tributing and more than once a turn. I mean they are literally NORMAL monsters. that way you would be able to normal summon multiple big normal monsters or special summon multiple effect monsters to kinda balance them in deck building.

I think the answer is definitely formats designed to be slower or open up the card pool some. Somewhat like the Battle Packs. Make it like: -Can only play a single copy of any card (unless it requires dupes to work) -50 card deck -double the life total Something like that. Either that or revisit Battle Packs but make them more worthwhile to play for advanced players by including actual high value cards. Even if not meta, Battle Packs seemed like a great place to do alt-arts, or some of the weird unimported OCG monsters. And instead we got the somewhat bland shatter/mosaic rares.

I've also said this a lot before, but adding a section to the forbidden and limited list that works like the "legend card" mechanic in Rush Duel would be excellent. You could move a lot of forbidden and limited cards to this section no problem, and it'd basically just work like Duel Link's limited list. Also, i think as a whole that Duel Links just has a better limited list system than the OCG/TCG. Why doesn't normal Yugioh operate like this? It clearly works.

We need more weird formats that use cards in ways never done before, at least for fan-based online tournaments. Examples: 1# You can only build your deck with cards released on Odd or Even years 2# You must build your deck with cards only from Duel Links but must play on a standard TCG field 3# Only 1 copy of a card per deck (basically MTG Highlander) 4# Flip the rules of normal and special summoning (all the normal summons you want, 1 special summon per turn) It'd be a chaotic exercise in futility, but a fun one!

The fact it isn't anymore, makes not only the decks stronger (A deck that can play over 3 interruptions is really bad - And the fact that any deck has 3 interruptions on turn 0 is also bad) but creates the need for more and more negations, one thing feeding the other 2. It has been limiting the card design. Seems like EVERY SINGLE end-board monster has a negation. If you end with 2 monsters, you'll have at least 2 negations. The fun of YuGiOh is the diversity or archetypes and card effects, and now we have a diversity of archetypes but the diversity of effects is really low.

In order to close the gap between combo and control decks, I think that konami should make either make backrow more "faster" and more recursive. Or make really strong blow out cards that specifically work against combo. There's like 8+ ways to get rid of backrow and only 2 or 3 good ways to break strong board of negates. Or make a handtrap that's really strong against combo as well. Maybe like a handtrap that does what summon limit does but only lasts until the end of your next turn. (Decided to include end of next turn to prevent combo decks from using it as many cards that are intended to be used against combo decks are usually used in them.) Also, I think missing the timing should not be a thing. All card effects should not be able to miss timing. Missing the timing is one of the most confusing mechanic/ rule in the game and probably has the most potential for misplays and for people to forget it.

While they do do it for worlds it’d done far differently than most banlists. Let’s take into account that both have their own limits and unlimits. With worlds it’s easy because you just take the lowest number a card is at and boom, you got it on there. That is FAR different when combining lists as you have to consider what’s more healthy for tcg, ocg, what shouldn’t and what should, how timing should be done. At face value it sounds good but it creates too many problems. Second, world wide releases are harder to do than you think. While having a set in stone world wide release for a game is easy that is because it’s only one product and they’re not doing multiple products within a short time span. With Konami, it would be multiple products in that time span, if something gets messed up that costs a lot of money. I agree that releasing cards faster should happen but world wide releases add more problems for konami than solutions sadly.

@@mathibell5236 For the banlist point you're not getting what I'm saying- I'm saying even if we had the same card pools how people play is entirely different. Upstart is at 3 in the OCG but it's at 1 in the TCG. Our meta's are different to the point where two banlists are needed. That's why the split happened in the first place, cards that were having no results here were having results in the ocg and caused them to be hit instead of the actual meta in the tcg. Same card pool seems like it solves this idea but it doesn't and all it does is make the banlist more bloated. The players and the way they think are just completely different. Yes, Konami does releases on a big scale- We all know this... But world wide releases are REALLY different from a business standpoint. Also yes, if we get the same cards we would need extra sets or a really big set. I'm glad you agree with that but it feels like you're going against your point seeing as it's very easy to be overwhelmed in that regard. OCG does get every tcg exclusive by the end of every year, true. Due to being manufactured in Japan OCG will always have the leg up on cards and getting sets first as it's far easier. However you must take into consideration multiple things, there would need to be a translation for all these cards, then they would need to get production set up, and then would need to make sure worldwide everything is good. However it moreso seems like this is an easy cause of misprints and the like. So from a business stand point I personally don't think it would be as good for Yu-Gi-Oh.

Amazing video, would love to see more of those. Time to give my suggestion: Over the course of the first two turns, each player can only activate up to 5 cards in total. So for example if the player that goes second chooses to activate a handtrap, they can now only activate up to 4 cards when their turn comes around. Similarly the first turn player can only activate cards on his opponents first turn if he did not activate all 5 cards during the first turn. From the third turn onward the game would just be normal yugioh, so you can still combo off and everything. The change just ensures that both players can make some sort of setup. Would love to know what the flaws of this idea are.

The biggest fix for me would be to stop making Archetype boss monsters too generic. It causes too many situations where the archetype the monster is a part of gets invalidated because another deck can abuse its monster better and can lead to a decks best monster getting banned because another unrelated deck was abusing it. This can sometimes lead to the archetypes those boss monsters belong to being unplayable. Generic bosses should be kept separate from archetype bosses for this reason. This would allow for the increase in the power ceiling for those bosses since they are locked into the archetypes and allow more archetypes to be competitive because they have these stronger bosses at their disposal even though they may not be as flexible as the weaker but still powerful generic bosses. Also this would possibly reduce the number of bannings and create a wider variety of meta strategies in the future.

I think special summoning restrictions might at least be interesting in an alternate format design for beginners. I think ygo's gotten a lot harder to get into for both new players and returning players, so just having a slower format exist for them to ease into would be cool. Of course it would still have its own meta and problems, but as long as it "looks easier," then I think that's the important part. That being said, I don't know how much work would have to go into constructing and managing that format. I imagine it would need its own banlist depending on what rules are implemented.

For the first point: you could add restrictions such as if you use your tribute summon you can’t use your extra deck, and if you summon/set before the tribute summon you can’t tribute summon an effect monster.

They should fix Ritual Summoning and allow players to Ritual Summon a Ritual Monster from the hand OR deck (instead of from the hand only) with the appropriate Ritual Magic. Let's be honest: Ritual Summoning was supposed to be THE best way of summoning boss monsters at the very beginning of Yu-Gi-Oh (and the mechanics make sense from a logical point of view), but then they made Ritual Summoning useless to favor, instead, other Special Summon mechanics that DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE from a logical/historical/magical point of view (Synchro, Xyz, Pendulum, Link). Very sad that modern Yu-Gi-Oh lost all its charm and taste...

8:40 this is very noticeable in duel links! If you have a chainable effect, the game flips to your controll during your opponents turn. Not only does that actually slow down the game, it also gives the opponent the information that you have a chainable effect, even if its face fown or in your hand. Or more, it tells your opponenent when you DON'T have a chainable effect! Which is very valuable! As most disruptions are chainable effects.

relating to the banlist my 2 issues are its not updated enough and its too limited but thats because Konami want do other events - speed duels needs a banlist or give altnative formats like tag duels

Dzeef while not allowing all banned cards at 3 or even at one do you think it could be possible or even a good change that for cards that are banned players have the option to play one banned card in their deck, this would allow every card in the game to potentially be played, allow for deck variety and would create more interesting environments? that way people would need to choose, pot of greed or graceful charity, or maybe painful choice or even one of the dragon rulers i personally would like this rule but dont know how viable it could be or the harm it could cause

yes, you can also add some restrictions, like you only get your additional tribute summon per turn if the monster(s) it uses is a level lower, for example if you were level 4, you can summon an additional tribute to a level 5. in this ways you can balance the mechanic and don't happen nothing crazy like vanity's fiend or use low level monster easy to summon.

Let me put one suggestion that came to mind. Restrict Negation. A lot of the problems ive been seeing in modern YGO is the boards always end in 9+ negates on near unbreakable monsters. So what if we just restrict negations? Like, you get one card type negation per turn. LIke for example, your pot of extragevence gets ashed. Thats the "Spell" negated. So now your opponent cant negate any more spells that turn. Likewise for Summon, Mon-Effect, and Traps. That way its only 4 negates and your opponent has to figure out what to negate on your combo.

i havent played in along time so idk what formats are available or if its just current set or open format except for ban list but if its not implemented id like to see some more formats like how magic has liek their classic format (basically everything pre syncro) an open format (here unban everything) regular format, something like twin headed giant (or tag duels) i also want to know if like sealed drafts are a thing.

I don't mind the banlist, but I do kinda wish that they'd rotate in some of the forbidden cards to be limited for a format or two, just so that those cards could see a little bit of use again.

@@beybl7869 Your philosophy reminds me a lot of what you can sometimes see in competitive Pokémon (the video games not the TCG, specifically the community lead singles format) where sometimes people just decide "Hey, wouldn't it be fun to like ....... throw shit at the wall and see if it sticks or not ?" Like in gen 5 when they unbanned every legendary with 600 Stats (and later on Kyurem Black as well) just to see what would happen. It was a chaotic mess, most of it got banned again very quickly, some of it stayed for a long while before being deemed unhealthy and others just stuck and were just fine, even though most people prior would probably not have guessed it. I think that this philosophy is actually very good and healthy, sure it may lead to bad metagames and some unhealthy things, but it teaches way more than doing nothing and can sometimes prove that "shit's actually fine". So yes, I am all for single formats (probably some alternative side formats that aren't enforced everywhere) where this type of experiment is carried out

I've had this idea floating in my head. It probably (actually, most likely) won't work, but basically: A contextual banlist. i.e. Cards that are banned only if you're running other kinds of cards. This way, you can ban cards from certain decks but not others, because so often certain players will lose vital key pieces of their decks due to other decks that are leeching off their cards. Remember when A-Assault Core was Limited just because of Firewall Dragon? A contextual banlist could say: "A-Assault Core is at 1, but only if you're playing Firewall Dragon too." Same with something like Dragon Buster Destruction Sword that only got banned because of a fucking truck.

One idea I came up with that might help (though probably wouldn’t) is something called the pentagram dial. Where you get 5 free activations no problem, that you record by putting counters on a 5 point star shape. But when you go beyond that, you have to sacrifice life points that are recorded with different coloured counters. To make it really hit hard and make people cautious about their next moves would be a cost of 2000 life points an activation. That I think would potentially stop OTKing and also add more suspense to the game again. 🙂 (At least I hope it would)

You know what was fun? Ever wanted Yu-Gi-Oh with a mana system? Yu-Gi-Oh World Championship 2011: Over the Nexus had Turbo Duels which had a permanent field spell Speed World 2. Spell Cards other than "Speed Spell" Cards cannot be activated. During each player's Standby Phases, each player places 1 Speed Counter of their own on this card (up to 12 each). You can remove Speed Counters of your own and reveal 1 "Speed Spell" Card in your hand to apply the following effects. ●4 Counters: Inflict 800 damage to your opponent. ●7 Counters: Draw 1 card. ●10 Counters: Destroy 1 card on the field. With spells being made generally slower by requiring an amount/cost of speed counters to activate, it does promote the use of trap cards.

And if you have ever played by those rules you know that just means people play with fewer spell cards. There are plenty of decks that can full combo with very few spell cards. This just slightly shifts the meta.

Yo Dzeeff, while I agree with you for the most part, in the sense that, implementing some of these changes will have unintended side effects that the person suggesting them did not see. In the light that some cards will instantly become broken if you do X and other will become worse if you do Y. However, what I do not think you're seeing is that, if you truly want to fix the game, you need to fundamentally change how the game is played. There isn't anything you can realistically change about the game that'll make everyone happy, but also keep the balance of power currently in the game. And konami isn't against this idea either, links are probably the best example of this. And before people say "Konami never said, links were intended to fix the game / slow it down", yes I know that. But you can't deny, that links did change how the game is played and also had the same effects on the game that you just described. When links were introduced to the game 2 major things happened. The first is that the pendulum summoning mechanic instantly became the worst main summoning mechanic in the game. You could not realistically play any pendulum deck and expect to win without getting seriously lucky. And that's still the case for 98% of pendulum decks. In the entire life span of links, we have only had 2 pendulum decks have competitive success, that being pendulum magicians and Endymion. Despite the fact that pendulums just a few master rules ago were always some of the best strategies to play. Hell even some deck strategies became worse than they already were. Ghostricks being the first thing that comes to mind. Summon a link monster and you instantly counter ghostricks. The other major change to happen to the game when links were introduced was any token generating effect was now busted despite prior to links, tokens were entirely useless. Grinder Golem, Scapegoat, Gofu, Steam the cloak, etc. If a card could generate a ton of tokens for free, you were instantly a god tier card and would lead to some busted combos or insane advantage. Those two examples you gave for some cards becoming overpowered and others becoming worse, has already happened. Pendulums and ghostricks being volcanics. And Tokens being vanity's ruler, majesty's fiend, etc. If people truly want to fix the game, as I said in the beginning something fundamentally will have to change. And if that's case, people are just going to have to accept that, some decks, cards, and strategies will be useless or garbage afterwards and some will be really busted. That's just the way it is. So at this point why not? I personally think the limitation of special summoning would be the fix this game needs. Because the one of the biggest complaints about the game is that boards are too oppressive. And the only reason they are that oppressive, is because people are able to special summon an infinite amount of times to get to that oppressive board. Yea, some decks will be useless and wouldn't be able to play effectively, but again, it's not like that already hasn't happened. Also another thing you didn't mention in your video, specifically for the cards that will become overpowered is that, yea they will become instantly, but they won't be in the game forever. That is what the banlist is for after all. Anyways, hope I don't sound angry or anything I am just giving my opinion, love your content though :3c TLDR: The things you said why some of these fixes wouldn't work has already happened in the game in someway due to a change, so why not.

Remmeber Special summons didnt need a limit in the old days because 1 they were limited to Extra decks summons, and 2 any main decks that can specila summon have very niche requirements, ( Discard 1 then special summon, Can only be special summoned if you control no monsters, special summon if youre opponant controls 2 or more monsters of the same attribute) they were very ew of them and they werent easy to bring out in mass, you had to meet certain conditions for each one, so they were inherently limited in how many you can special summon do to those factors. now theres just so much i special summon this, then Bing bang boop i have 4 monster sont he field, i Link 4 summon my Boss. oh now i special summon 4 more and anouther link 4. because its so easy to do and way too many decks have revival effects build in. and yet Monster reborn is banned xD

You're missing his point entirely. Sure, limit them to 5. Then the best deck would be the one to get the most Omnegates on the board with 5 special summons. It wouldn't change anything. Also, players weren't the ones who introduced Links to the game. Konami was. This was done on purpose. They have created a game that has lasted over 20 years and is arguably more popular than ever. They know what they are doing. If they come down with a special summon limit, then so be it. I'd trust them. But I doubt the limit would be 5. It'd probably be 8 or 10. Let the professionals do their work.

My friends and I played a custom where almost every card was limited to 1 say for a few that we agreed not to use. Could that be something?

I've been playing some online CCGs and a lot of them have a format of bring 3 decks opponent bans 1 and you have to win with the other 2 in order to win the round instead of the main deck side deck format of most physical TCGs. I wonder if having every card unbanned and inmplementing a format like that except no cards can be used in multiple decks would make things more intresting and ballenced. if you wanna run 3 pot of greed and 3 graceful charity, sure. but only in one of the 3 decks you bring. or maybe up it to 5 decks with 2 bans who knows. that'd be a cool format.

Maybe a counter solution to limiting special summon to 5 is to keep track which single monster zone has been occupied in the same turn, my idea is that no newly summoned [special ou normal] monster in a turn can occupy the same single monster zone previously occupied, at the start of your turn, in this same turn more than once, or more than twice for non occupied ones. An example of this rule: at the start of a duel, you can summon up to 10 times (not accounting for extra monster zone), 2 for each singular monster zone, but in the middle of the duel if you already have 4 monster in your monster zone side of the field at the start of your turn, you can only summon in this turn up to 6 monsters in your monster zone (4 for each already occupied singular monster zone plus 2 for the non occupied one). For this idea to work you would need to keep track which singular monster zone has been occupied and for how many times a turn, this would require an external apparatus, like a dice or a slideable gadget which you would have to remember to set and reset at the start of each ones turns. This rule would require a lot more strategy from the player than just summoning monsters to summon more monsters and attention to how you use your monster zone in order to keep sinergy with your link monsters. Also I can see meta changing to revolve around cards that occupy your opponents monster zone or block them from use. Also this rule wouldn't punish that hard long combos since with a clean monster field you can summon up to 10 monster + unlimited summons in your extra monster zone a turn, but it will limit you more if you already have lots of monsters on your side of the field. I can also see some interesting interactions since this rule would not limit your summons if you do them in your opponents turn, so more reasons to keep ultimate offering banned but we could see new archtypes which could focus on that.

"...get the most out of those 5 summons" That would kind of be the point. I think that is what people actually want on top of avoiding solitaire.

The distinction between if and when is really unintuitive and needs to go.

Anyone who says that decks are totally the same these days is just looking at the very top tier meta decks that are getting tops the most consistently. Even then, the variety in tech options and just how much you can do with siding is miles better than looking at the first YGO World Championship deck profile and even Yata-lock and then Teledad years. The game is in a really good spot in my opinion; even among the legal staple cards there are choices and variations depending on how certain picks interact with the current meta and even synergize in your deck.

I had a quick thought as I watched this. Haven’t given it much thought yet. What if you could use your tribute summon by tributing monsters from your hand instead of field

Agree with everything except the point about power being relative. While thats true, it is not a justification for unchecked power creep. Most people would agree there is a point where power level and interaction complexity (this was in response to a point about limiting special summons) are too low that the fun factor suffers. Also, there's a point where it's too high. Even if there are decks/cards of relatively higher and lower power in either of these paradigms, it doesn't follow that there's a golden mean somewhere to be found. I haven't really thought about it enough to have a position on the possibility of limiting special summons, just a logical point.

I want a full power graceful charity format just to see what kind of decks it could actually break I think it would be so much fun if only for a few weeks.

That kind of format has been workshopped to death, assuming both players are trying to win the result would be you and your opponent playing RPS, and whoever wins RPS wins the match. There are so many FTK decks in YGO history that had to be banned, that unbanning everything would just make the game "who can build the most reliable FTK deck".

@@SEELE-ONE it only works because it's an online game. How it works is anytime either player can perform an action a timer ticks down. The timer basically always goes on your turn, but if your opponent has a face down trap, a face down quick play spell card, or a hand trap then then their time ticks down if they meet the conditions to activate it. Your timer will stop until your opponent chooses whether or not to activate the card. This 3 minute timer, the fact that the ban lists are combined, cards from early 2020 are the most recent, along with the ban List being from that time, as well the side deck is pretty much not a thing, means legacy if the duelist is practically a different game. I feel like I should explain the side deck thing. You can build a side deck under the same restrictions as normal Yugioh, but online duels are just one duel not a best of 3 match. The side deck is pointless. Plus every time you summon an iconic anime card a special animation plays. Which gets really annoying when you're up against or using a Dark Magician deck and Dark Magician is constantly being sacrificed and revived every turn to activate dark magical circle's effect. Weird thing about that. Elemental Hero Thunder Giant has a special animation, but Flame Wingman doesn't

Honestly I think adding in new formats or different ways to play would help a ton. Like a Standard format. Limiting players to only the last 2 years of sets. It’s hard playing with a eternal format all the time. Sometimes it’s great to play with a limited card pool and not have to worry about over 10,000 cards. Worrying about cards you made a decade ago. Also a singleton format like magic sounds fun. Maybe limit everything to 1 and have a larger deck of 60 or 80 or something. That would add a lot of randomness to games. I don’t think a commander tax would work in yugioh. But working with singles and a larger deck size would suffice.

Have a field spell that allows tribute summoning call it gate to the ancient world or something but there is a spell card called ancient rules that lets normal summon normal monsters over level 5. But so can pendulum summon or a card that restricts monster effect usage per dule that would shut down so many combo decks. Or a special summoning limit which is basically what link monsters was supposed to do

When they started demanding I pay attention to if the card uses a : or a ; in their card text, that was the last straw

An issue I've noticed is that going 2nd is quite a big disadvantage. Aside from creating more powerful going 2nd cards, I think we could give the player going 2nd more cards in the starting hand. Either: start with 6 cards, but not drawing during the first draw phase Start with 6 cards, (draw normally during the first draw phase) Or maybe even start with 7 cards? Also, instead of rolling dices to determine who goes first every round, we could have the tournament decide who goes first and then try to have players alternate between getting to choose (which is like winning the dice) and not getting to choose (losing the dice). This way, it guarantees that over say 7 rounds of Swiss, everyone gets to choose to go first 3-4 times.

I think the problem that comes up most often is that too many cards have ways to be resource neutral. Power creep then took this and created a number of metagames that allow you to take a bunch of game actions and arrive at whatever end state you want. I think the simplest solutuon would be introducing a new format, but I don't quite know what it would look like. You could also do what the Pokemon VGC does and have one or two tournaments each year where they ban the ten most used pokemon and see what happens. It's a nice way to get some variety without having to commit to deistic changes.
