    Maxx C isn’t a problem. Cards combos like crimson dragon into archfeiend dragon lock, branded lock and artifact lock are far worse. Maxx C gives you the opportunity to play, you make the decision how far you wanna test your luck. The combos I mentioned legitimately stop you from playing the game at all.

    @@FakeHeroFang I hear that argument of segmentation a lot but i don't think it's entirely true. The reason for that is that there is a shit ton of people who like old yugioh but not the new one and if you added different formats they would want to play Master Duel. However, saying that removing that format would "unify" the player base is wrong since those type of players just wouldn't play the game at all so you're not losing anyone by offering different formats. Sure, there would be some cannibalization of modern players switching to other formats but overall i think the effect of new players joining, that otherwise would stay away and the chance of those players being curious about modern yugioh after joining would massively overshadow the effect of a segmented/cannibalized player base.

    @phantomgg7790 Bro Chill your being cringe. Heres some grass, I heard touching it can help calm you down.... unless your a goblin then I heard you'll get turned to a pile of salt like a vampire turns to ash in the sun. 🎍🎍🎍 But shit posting aside you do need to calm down a bit. Besides when it comes to the actual topic of pricing TCG vs Master Duel, Master Duel is alot cheaper. My deck irl is priced around 250 to 300 bucks and thats rogue using Destruction Sword cards with the more required cards being the bigger punch to the gut like Triple Tactics Talent before it was reprinted. Now lets see spending about $35 USD on Master Duel nets you about 2350 gems if I remember correctlys. So that's a bit more than 2 10 pack pulls with each pack containing 8 cards. So thats 184 cards for 35 bucks. Phantom Nightmare atm is going for 78-80 USD which has 24 packs of 9 cards. So thats 216. So you get 32 extra cards in a box with only 1 gaurnteed SR for an upcharge of 45 bucks. Which now doing the math if you spent that on gems thats doubles you amount with 10 bucks left over so you'd get 368 cards on Master Duel for a bit less than you'd spend in TCG, and with Master Duel having protections for 10 pulls if you don't pull an Secret Rare you be garunteed 2 Secret Rares if your pulls are completely garbage. When it comes to pricing of TCG VS Master Duel , Master Duel wins. But you don't even need to spend money if you have patience and self control over your spending you can make that many gems from events alone. Heck right now two events are up with 3100 gems each for even just slogging through with loaners. So that 6200 gems which is 6 10 pulls. I.E. 496 cards for free not counting daily challanges giving you even more gems.

    The problem with your argument is that it DID exist. As you pointed out the memories people have is of the playground. There are thousands of people who grew up with that playground experience. It was a reality for them/us. And even if that version of the game wasn’t official, if you’ve played Goat you can see that it’s still slow enough to make sense to those people who grew up playing playground YuGiOh. The modern game by comparison is almost unrecognizable. The problem is that there is nothing in YuGiOh that bridges the gap between the two play styles outside of Time Wizard, which Master Duel doesn’t support. And Konami makes this worse because they still advertise the game using those old anime characters, inviting playground players to revisit their nostalgia only to run face first into a wall when their Blue Eyes deck does nothing. I have no doubt that there are tons of other people like me who would learn the new mechanics and fall in love with YuGiOh all over again, but Konami doesn’t do enough to help those people understand the modern game. This video is spot on.

I got halfway through and realised "this wasn't fun" so I came up with a solution. If you can't win without a 1 round win deck and using one isn't fun for me; the solution should be to use a deck where you can win faster than round 1 AND it requires no skill, just luck. That way it's all a roll of a dice and if you lose, well it's just bad luck. But what deck could win faster than 1 round? What card could possibly beat someone in a round 0? *Exodia Enters the Chat*

I mean, you can't just rely on the RNG gods to give you a Maxx C on your first hand in order to make it a 2 turn game, more times than not (2/3 games) having 3 copies of Maxx C in your deck will not do anything to stop your opponent from making you want to scoop before you even start playing. So having the possibility to "steal the game" in a few matches every full moon or mercury retrograde (because even if you draw it, it can still get negated, and most of the time it is) makes the game a bit (and only a bit) more balanced.

Deck Rules: Following the banlist for now One copy per card If a card requirement or effect mentions more than one copy you can run up to the copies mentioned. You must run the card asking for several copies to run those copies. (Example: blue eyes ultimate dragon needs 3 them things. So yes you can run 3.) If a card special summons multiple or a card special summons a copy of it self you can run up to the usual 3 copies (Example: The Agent Venus allows you to pay 500 LP to summon a Mystical shine ball. You may run more than one Mystical shine ball.) (Example 2: Mannadium meek special summons a copy of itself upon its effect condition. So you may run more than one Mannadium Meek.)

    For me I always thought this game would do way better if it did a couple things Different game modes that are permanent which included different eras:DM, gx, 5Ds that could be played that had their own banlist(maybe even a changing banlist) etc. Older formats that people still have nostalgia for and still play to this day. An actually story mode where you play from the start of DM to the link era duels with an ever evolving deck(bit of stretch) would definitely bring in a lot of people just wanting to enjoy an story based yugioh game. And an more up to date card pool whether than be 3 months behind or 2 because currently it’s still 6-7 months every update and it’s more fun to test cards elsewhere than master duel simple as that. The only way this could eventually happen is if Konami stops releasing a product every other month Also consider banning the problem cards of the format if they have the data for cards that make people surrender or close the game address them they are causing people to leave the game for a reason(maxx c)

    Konami should release an update where the newest TCG banlist AND OCG Banlist are available. They don't have to change the OCG/TCG format, but adding a TCG mode, where Maxx Chaos is forbidden would be great.

    So I am an oldschool Yugioh player (up to and including stardust dragon early synchro era) and have played my fair share of modern Yugioh with master duel. I've kinda grown to like the new summoning mechanics and interesting new archetypes and interactions, however theres 2 things that bother me incredibly hard: 1.: The Maxx C package. The way this card (and also nibiru to an extend) just guts play of almost every off meta, for fun/D tier deck is saddening. This makes play on ladder extremely stale. 2. The power level of some decks feels too high and anti fun. I'm all here for a crazy combo deck, however if my opponent plays 15 minutes of solitaire, just for me to start my turn with 4 handcards into 3 negates on the board, something has gone wrong. Me not being able to play yugioh, because I didn't draw/want to play the handtrap package is just terrible game design. I feel like the 1st and 2nd point also feed into each other, because the existence of maxx c and nibiru give combo decks an excuse to be excessively degenerate because "tHeRe Is a CoUnTeR!1".

Bad enough I found out the hard way that Dis Pater can pull P.S.I Framelord Omega from the banish pool after it rips your hand and then can banish itself once again to rip your hand a second time. Its almost like once per turn should be a much stricter ruling on alot of cards that would balance them out.

    I don't get why every "boomer" video claims it's the "summoning mechanics bad" that is the issue with modern. Aside from some parts of pendulum (nobody plays) it's something you can explain a player from 20 years ago in a couple minutes. It's the intricacies of timings, building chains and some effect interactions that are the biggest barrier IMO. The biggest issue I have after all this time is that MD uses OCG rulings and does a bit too much for you without much feedback for why certain things happen at certain times. The yellow glow ensures that most players that get good at master duel will have an even harder time to ever get into the paper format, where such a thing doesn't exist obviously. EDIT: The server issues, especially ingame with the constant back and forth animations with priority is so frustrating that it really keeps me from playing more than 2-3 games at a given time. Compared to EDOPro it's like night and day.

    I've thought about making a Snake Eyes Dark Magician, but haven't really bothered since I either enjoy playing Buster Blader cards as my boomer pick or bullying meta decks with Ghoti. Im more worried about the resurgence of Tearlamemts because well this guy may complain about Maxx C there are far more problematic cards. Fairy Tail Snow, Predaplant Verte, the recent unbanning of Zoodiacs problem cards and Monkey Keyboard (cause yeah Konami I wanna see Vaylanze FTK with Monkey Keyboard support) Spright Elf, Auroradon, and Galaxy Tomahawk... Mathmech CIRCULAR. Plus the hits to Kashtira are alot better than the ones in TCG. Fenrir 100% needed to be limited not just because of how powerful it is, but because it was so splashable. Its still at 3 in TCG. While Kashtira Birth makes sense to hit I feel that Theosis would have been a more meaningful spell to limit, and then finally the only card in the the TCG they hit was Arise... which dropping it to 1 would be fair, especially with how easy it was to counter it since Kash doesn't have omni negates in pure. So fire off a change of heart or book of the moon/eclipse and your opponent is dead in the water. The issue I saw alot is people aren't smart enough to play around Kash. If you got maxx c to begin with and your opponent is going first in master duel then fire off the maxx c in either Draw or Standby, run more imperms than ash blossoms, ash at 3 isn't really reliable anymore since most combos from SHS and Snake Eyes will just shrug and start a new 1 card combo.

    While you have some nice criticisms here, I'm not sure I completely agree with your ban list statements discussing goat format. As you even mention, they have provided modified lists for events before, so it's not like they can't or haven't done it before. Regarding changes to the game mechanics, that has less to do with the ban list and more to do with master rule changes and such that have occurred over time. It's more likely that we'll get different ban lists in master duel than it is we get old master rules. I don't know what master duel's player numbers are, but if I had to guess a reason why that don't add additional permanent modes or ranked play with different ban lists, it's probably to avoid fragmenting the player base. An alternative, but also likely reason is that they want to push the current active format, which isn't too terribly different from the live card game (yes I know master duel is behind on card releases) and drive sales of the physical cards (master duel doesn't do much to earn revenue itself and mostly serves as a big advertisement of the physical card game, which is also likely the reason it doesn't get much in the way of content and even simple stuff like cosmetics were slow to release as you mentioned). On a personal note, I think it would be nice if they provided the option to create a custom ban list for duel rooms and playing with friends. I've asked for this and tag duels whenever they have surveys, but I don't expect much to be done about it.

So after the first set came out, I drained my gems on the pack, knowing full well that not all the cards I needed where in to make the deck I wanted. In the end I had some of the copies I needed for a not a even a meta deck, but was still missing a massive part of what I needed for my deck. Eventually the new set came out, and I didn't have enough resources to finish my deck, and I just kinda stopped playing. Also, I wanted to note I really think they should print some sort of limited version of Maxx C with heavy restrictions in play, like not being able to special summon until the end of your next end phase. I ran a lot of silly no special or little special summoning decks and Maxx C was a god send in the game for me, not only because my shitty decks stood a chance with it, but because the other deck often had to run a deck card against me.

I only even stuck with it for that long cause I was coming back from hiatus and older card pool meant less new cards to learn. I had so much hope for it and just like Pokemon Unite, clearly the company had vastly different (and arguably shittier) plans for it ON TOP OF THIS, they literally promised in teasers that you could play TCG/OCG in it, that’s been a massive fking lie. As a CS student, coding prio can’t be that hard, just add another chain prompt for the turn player after each of their actions (with different UI text to indicate that it’s prio). Also the loading thing I’ve heard is just an inherent issue with the 3rd party(?) engine they use and they can’t change it. I’ve gotten used to it and don’t care but it definitely makes the game still feel unfinished. I also cannot overstate how shitty konami infrastructure around advertising and teaching YGO is; they will never let DM and BE out of their fking cages when we have so many other cooler (imo) decks with amazing art, lore, and/or more accurate representations of what modern YGO is like and they refuse to show that.

    The problem with Maxx C is that it's an cure that's worse than the disease. Just looking and the OCG and TCG ban lists and you'll see that the latter is a lot bigger. And the former uses semi limited more whereas the TCG has only that one destiny hero there. There is a lot, I mean a lot, of bullshit power creep that Maxx C keeps in check. So much so that the OCG is practically resigned to it's existence. Entire archetypes can be crippled due to the harsher ban lists. All this in mind, Maxx C is STILL overly centralizing. OCG players don't like the bug. They just put up with it cause they don't want the cards they invested in to be banned to oblivion. Master duel puts up with it because in a "best of 1" format, there is no side deck and the only feasible solution to break a ton of top boards is to "draw the out" and there is only one bug that increases those odds.

    A lot of us are NOT okay with the fact that the game no longer resembles its roots. Evolution is one thing, a good thing even, but what Konami did to the game was a bastardisation. You know the game has problems when half the deck HAS to contain hand traps and other unstoppable omni-negates. The game went from an epic clash of strategies to being settled on turn one. Instead of the game being long with lots of turns of back and forth, it ended up being long because those one or two turns take 20 minutes to setup a full board. The TCG itself is way too toxic and relies too heavily on cards that prevent your opponent from playing, leading to an incredibly frustrating experience, especially if you have no interest in adopting the newest broken shit they release. There’s a very good reason why Duel Links had such a strong start. It was simple and clean, it was fun, it was GOOD! Even when they started adding combos and consistency, it was game at first, leading to players actually strategising and enjoying the game. But then they started to add more and more broken shit and now the game is in the same state as the TCG and Master Duels.

    @@BreadBoyWeeb great I look forward to listening to your thoughts. HOWEVER, I'll tell you about my opinions on the game and how it can move forward lol. 1.) RELEASE BETTER CARDS. yugioh needs better cards to be released with more thought to the released cards. preferably cards that expand on lore etc. an example? let's talk about DARK MAGICIAN GIRL, she needs more cards and she's supposed to be the successor to dark magician... so wouldn't it be great to see a set revolving around her becoming great? maybe a retrain of DMG herself etc. most of the cards being released feel like random combo pieces that have absolutely no significance to the story/lore at all. many of the game's effects need to make sense and most boss monsters shouldn't be just a "big boi Omni negate". this will make the game more exciting and fun to pick up new boxes. also how about adding flavor text onto the cards without an excess amount of text. Flavor allows you to sit down and read the cards during your down time, and it's exciting to read. the goal is to add extreme value to every card making you enjoy the collection rather than just having boring combo pieces like "Block Dragon" or "Clock Wyvern" etc. for example, compare ANY mtg card and any effect monster from yugioh lol. 2.) KEY WORDS... this is definitely the move forward. many fans say no this is a terrible idea, but this is actually a great idea and can possibly save yugioh entirely. many yugioh cards are cluttered with too many words, and most already use keywords like (piercing damage, etc) but then take up extra room on the card to explain the keyword for no reason. keywords IMO should also be treated as non-effects..........so even if a card has the key word "Piercing" and nothing else, its still treated as a non-effect monster. Why tho? because the keywords are typically traits of the monster itself and not an effect, like gaia and his lance can pierce with no needed additional effect. this also would give new life to the HUNDREDS of useless vanilla monsters that nobody uses lol. by retraining them with new keywords you can easily change the game for the better. examples "Steel oger groto" has the key-word "Invincible" letting you know it can't be destroyed by battle and giving you a reason to play with him. "Dark Magician" has a ability like "Magecraft" from mtg and gains 300 attacks whenever you activate a spell card till end of turn. "Blue eyes" has the ability "Pierce" allowing him to shatter defenses and make him a terrible threat. "Mystical Elf" has an ability like "Ward" and she can't be targeted by opponent's card effects and would fit great with her 2k defense. "Silent Magician" this card has "Ward" as well as "Mage-Craft" etc. IMO this will give the game more creativity and the need for "Omi-Negates" will decrease and be replaced by actual nice strategies. to sum up everything my improvements would be the Quality of the game itself, refining the rules and re-introducing FUN back into the game. i kinda went off but those are my thoughts on improving the game lol.

    Maxx “C” was printed in an era where the power creep wasn’t so bad yet that its open ended effect let you net 10+ draws off an opponent. The power creep continually rising is what made maxx “C” a more and more broken card over the years. If it is banned then the stun hits need to return to a certain degree. Vanity’s Emptiness included. They won’t return such cards though because they want to promote crazy limitless special summoning to promote their new spammy archetypes, so if they kept easy flippable counters unbanned it would discourage players from making decks with those new cards, to a certain degree.

This game (yu gi oh in general) rewards me on the basis of how many hours that i have put into it. It's not casual friendly for sure, but does every game has to be? Everyone in 2024 has access to all the resources one can ask for, there are so many great content creators that help you explain every card and teaches you how to combo and what's an optimal play in general.

Also, card texts should have symbols specified info for when certain things happen, such as "when a card starts chain", or when something "triggers". Not just interpretation based on dots and comma's. Also, Master Duel just have many rarities just like Pokemon TCG LIVE.

Limiting summons would not affect many cards. There is basically NO card that says: "summon 5 monsters". Cards are generic, and limiting summons would only make you think more what you should summon instead of summoning everything at once. When they released Links, they were heading to a nice path. However, they instead created something even worse adding bizarre summoning effects to promote the cards and (once again) sell packs. They noticed the shit they did and had to change the rulings AGAIN just because they couldnt control their greedy stupidity. If we had once per turn summons effs in link monsters, we most likelly would've gone through a good path. Still, likiting summons is only one example. I think that should be more new rules to speed down the game. But its needed them to sit and think instead of thinking only about sellings new powerful cards

You are comparing a single normal summon saying "its limited. SS only happens because of effects". Yeah, thats why we literaly summon like 10 times per turn and IN SOME CASES are able to normal summon like twice per turn. And bro, I'm not saying you should limit summons in about "1 SS per turn". Of course not. But lets say: "you can only SS up to 5 times per turn". Come on. That would not break the game at all. It would only limit some plays. But not make cards useless. Instead of perhaps summoning 3 Extra Deck monsters, you would only be able to summon about 1 or 2. Lets not forget that, by the moment you limit a mechanic, every other oposite mechanic would emerge. In that case, if you cannot SS a bunch of monsters that would protect your board, not you need to depend on the protection of more spells or traps. It would make game slower and have way more interactions. You are just considering monsters, but forgot the game has Spell and Traps. In the past, what made the game interesting was the interection os diverse Spells and Traps to boost or protect field.

Going first one time my opponent started setting up a freaking board after my first summon on my turn like wtf is this lol. I think it was tearlament, so now i just have a hatred for that deck. Still cant get pass platinum 1. Playing the traphole jail baits.

    Legacy Link Evolution has a pretty good structure to it. If you only want to play against decks that you would face during the original wave, GX, and 5DS, you can do that.

    As a new player. I need to subscribe this channel. It doesn't make us feel easier. Grinding in this game is, fk sake. Its money. We need to check dkayed channel every week to check the meta just to revised our own deck back, and as a new player we don't have the cards that release several years ago for free. Its chaos for master duel, idk how many tutorial it give and none turorial to build a deck in the solo mode. I enjoy the game but it's sadly not for a new player to happily play. Ygo duel link is more interactive for new player but it isn't allign several major big card updates with the tcg. Keep doing ur best 4 ur video bro!

    Legend Anthology Rank Format would fix most of these points (including Maxx C) 😅 Casual and Nostalgic, please Konami!!... An amazing break between Rank Duels for players and a slower introduction for Casual/New and returning players (The game is still living on this playerbase)

    What I think master duel should do is do different formats for all players. Current format, Goat format, & an anime format where the character dictates what cards you can use & keywords as well. Also, there will be a set card pool for anime format on what character you pick.

    good points until you mentioned maxx c. I closed the video because I know it will be just a hate rant from that point. I believe the greatest misplay they made was not implementing a goat/legacy format from the start. Too many returning players left because they we're forced to play modern yugioh.

    "Maxx c allows cards and decks that should never exist to exist" _Konami I personally think making it like gamma would help a lot (making him only activatable when you have no monsters on the field), since panning him is too much.

    That would just make it a turn skip card still I don't see how that's fair and the TCG kinda shows that the game is still playable and very much the same without Maxx C. The difference is you don't have to force 9 cards in every deck regardless of how good they are in the current format and instead can use cards that are good against moreso the meta.

    Yeah, a big issue with Maxx C and Droll are that they're handtrap floodgates that need to be negated on activation, or else you're stuck with the effects. And considering their strong effects are, it's obnoxious if you get hit by them. They definitely should need at least some strenuous kind of condition before they could be used or at least some drawback so it's not just a net plus. Maybe give Droll a condition similar to Nibiru, in that you activate it when your opponent adds a card to their hand more than 3 or 5 times in a turn, so it actually feels like it targets hyper-consistent decks that search like crazy rather going off on a single search. Or make it so that the effect of Droll stays until the end of the next turn, so both players gotta deal with it. Or have it so that the player that used Maxx C has to send cards from the hand to the GY to maintain a max size of 5, so they have to decide whether to keep the card drawn or toss it to keep the cards they already have. I dunno, stuff that actually makes the player wonder if activating the card will benefit them or add stipulations that make them difficult to maintain or use, like most other floodgates.

    MaxxC isn't an issue. More things to do in the game would be nice including an actual GOAT format that isn't for a weekend. This game has so much potential but Konami does Konami things when it comes to their products they don't actually utilize them to their full potential.

    i will always look favorably on master duel. it was my entry point back in after literally 20 years of not playing yugioh and in that sense i have nothing but praise for it. the accessibility for returning players is still probably the games strongest asset to me. that said its actually insane just how much will be improved in this game if maxx c is banned please just DO IT.

    I like that this video points out the hatred between the competitive players and the players that want to play the casual game, and it isn't really considered a problem when I think it's a major reason as to why Yugioh lacks the popularity. The main problem with the paper game is that there's exactly one format to play officially, and that's considered the only worthwhile format to play, while Master Duel has accepted the multiple format design. The issue I have with this is that having multiple formats in a digital-only game doesn't really rectify the mentalities that competitive players have today with the paper game. I think, if Konami really wanted to, they could easily sell GOAT and Edison to new players and even support those new players with reprint sets to refuel the market with cards that haven't been printed in a very long time. Printing these cards, even if they aren't competitive relevant, are still good for new or returning players wanting to build decks for fun or to experiment with some goofy rogue shit on the cheap. It also helps to build different atmospheres between games, Legacy yugioh can be as competitive as it always was while GOAT or Edison could bring a more laid-back approach to gameplay that can be gratifying to a new player. If new formats are off the table, at least give us box constructed. I picked up the two-player starter set, and while the card pool is limited, I think there could be some fun potential in building different decks to see which one trumps the rest and solve the box. Games designed for those boxes and preconstructed decks are geared towards slower play, so trying to solve the meta deck of a specific deck or box could be a fun mental exercise. It would get stale quick due to the lack of structure deck releases, however, but if they were a bit more consistent, I think it could be a fun format.
