The problem isn't the combos, it's that it feels like 95% of the time (if it is never interrupted) it ends on like 6 negates or a floodgate. Because if you play enough, you don't want anyone else to play due to seeing so many people play with themselves and not let you play.

imo the core issue is power creep, every card is either a complete monster that does everything or is a card that would be game-warpingly good in any other tcg but in ygo is unplayable trash because the power curve is just so absurd

@williamfalls

@@Yinlock470 Well, there's a lot of other reasons certain cards work better in Yugioh than other games. Other games have more restrictions on their mechanics. Pot of Greed is a good card because there's no cost it's just free. In another game Pot of Greed would be terrible, because you can only play one card for that turn and you used it to draw a card and a second card to replace the card instead of an offensive or defensive effect. Yugioh enables so much gas that nobody plays a trap card unless it's absurdly disruptive, because they have to set it to use it next turn and that's considered "slow" because they could have used another spell or monster effect instead... And hand traps are preferable to trap cards, because the interaction is harder to play around than many of the traps themselves. The problem is there's waaaay too much generic support, rather than restricted archetype specific special summons. Example being what Dragon Link does. They play Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes, Rokket, Chaos, Bestials, totem, and so on for a bunch of extra deck monsters that happen to be really powerful dragons. Why? Because the only restriction they may have throughout the entire turn is maybe "you can only special summon Dragons for the rest of the turn" on free +1s. How about Sprite? Easily could have slapped a harsher restriction than saying "Oh yeah, anything with a 2 rating is fine." Oh cool, so just infinite special summons because all your level twos search each other and can be special summoned. Great game design. And let's look at everyone's generic link-based extra deck. I wonder what rank 4 always shows up. Access Code Talker? Woah, what an original card. Gee. Who else? Oh, just this girl riding a bear that says "no" to monster effects depending on how many you used to make them. Synchro? Oh man, I wonder what level ten synchro is gonna be made. Gee, this card is new to me. Bear on the floor? Is that how you say it? Wouldn't know, because it's the fifth time I seen it today. Even when you slap on a "for the rest of the turn" restriction, it can usually be added as a combo ender or end of turn play like: Oh wow, main phase 2 Destiny Fusion?! What could possibly be made with that? Woah. It's some kind of Phoenix-Person! Totally new to the format. If Yu-Gi-Oh had hard line in the sand archetype specific structures rather than generic powerful things slotted into every deck, it'd solve some gripes with the combo spam. Like summoning a bunch for boss monsters is fine, but why can every single freaking deck make them instead of the ones they're clearly designed for/from? It's out of control.

The problem has never been combo decks, themselves. The concept is really cool and tons of fun once you finally learn all the ins and outs of the deck. The problem is all the new boss monsters Konami keeps printing. Everything comes with multiple negates, floodgates, and some sort of lock or stun that prevents you from even responding, when going second. The Power creep has gotten so out of control the last decade that to even stand a chance anymore, you have to run 3 Ash Blossoms, 3 Imperms, 1 called by the grave, and whatever staple hand trap is relevant in the current meta. On average, 9-12 hand traps in the main deck. Anything less, and it feels like you never draw them but too many and you brick on your opening hand. It’s crazy how staples have become staples simply because every boss monster is busted nowadays

As others have said here, its not the combo that is bad, its the end board monsters that have power crept everything. Example dragon link: used to have borrel sword and load dragon as two really good bosses that had two different uses, neither was broken, sword was generic enough it was a staple to end games before accesscode. Now they have borrel end which beats sooo many decks by himself by being so hard to out. Assuming you aren’t interrupted, DRNM + borrelend literally breaks every board with monsters 3500 or below. We all want stronger decks and better interactions, but i think konami would do well to simply go back to old decks and throw in new mechanics to bring them up instead of simply dropping new monsters that negate AND extend AND manage resources all in one.

The problem with combo decks is that there are so many 1 card into Omni negates or banish or some other disruption that it's literally just "a matter of time". For example Branded, did you finally get past their 2 omnis and banish, using almost all cards in your hand and not ending on some boss monster, OOOOOH plus you didn't kill?! Opponent draws Jester or Fallen, or some other cards that lets them: Fusion into special into add into fusion into shuffle into fusion into fusion into special into add, or some other 1 card combo that looks exactly like this!! which basically remakes the Entire board you spent everything trying to destroy. Nobody wants to play that, these decks literally play themselves off 1 card and you have to have specific cards to break the board. The only way to beat a 1 card combo deck is to usually play 1 card combo decks.

You should really feature tri-brigade scareclaw on your channel. As somebody who has played visas variants since release(almost a year now) and invented quite a few of its pseudo-ftk combos, there is no question that triclaw is the superior deck before the rest of the mannadium cards release. As a true 1-card combo deck, triclaw is able to play past more disruption than mannadium, while also having higher ceiling endboards, a great turn 2 for breaking boards, and some of the most lethal turn 3 follow up a combo deck could ask for. Triclaws access to rank 4, synchro lvl7, synchro lvl4, and much more also makes deckbuilding in accordance to the meta much easier. Mannadium becomes a better deck once it gets amritara and trisukta, becoming a real 1-card combo deck with great recovery options and an objectively harder board to break than triclaws since refraiming becomes searchable - but for now, mannadium steals the spotlight even tho astraloud is insane support for triclaw too - If anybody is interested, i highly reccomend sourcing your info from the tribrigade channel on the master duel discord server, as you will be very dissapointed in what you find elsewhere on the internet.

Personally I disagree I'd rather not have a playstyle come down to "If you out my board you win if you can't I win". I'd prefer it if combo decks had recovery to where they have plays but on the following turn there's always that one card that they went through turn 1 that is what makes the combo deck turbo out all those boss monsters gone. Therefore they'd have to play more midrangey ending on at best a boss monster or two per turn afterwards. Best example would probably be synchrons. If junk speeder was limited and you outed their board they'd have to string stuff together to obtain a boss monster that they're able to get to from what they have. That's what I'd like combo decks to be like.

I'm having a pretty bad time against the new decks. I'm relatively new in Master Duel, I've only been around 4 months, and I collected my gems to create my favorite deck: traptrix, because I love the concept of plants and insects combined with a control playstyle using traps. The problem is that I really have no way to deal with those decks, if I go first I have a chance thanks to Rafflesia, Mantis and Pudica negating some effects. But if I'm second I'm screwed, the moment I put my first monster on the field, the enemy will start activating a thousand effects denying me everything until I have to end my turn or press surrender. I'm personally quite sad, because it took me a long time to get enough gems for my deck. I know I'm not a good player, but after a few months of playing I can notice when my deck doesn't have a chance to win. I will continue playing traptrix, cyberdark and my spider deck which is what I like, but it sucks not being able to play more than one turn. Maybe it's an unpopular opinion, but I think Yu-Gi-Oh should have a limit on special summons or draws. I feel like it's not the combos but the special summons that have broken the game, no one uses normal summons or normal trap cards, all the cards summon cards that draw cards that summon more cards. In a game where there is no resource like mana, there must be a limit to the number of actions, or only one of the two players is playing.

Yeah traptrix has an issue where their traps only work when the opponent summons a monster. The issue comes when you're going second and your opponent has already summoned a monster. This is pretty much one of the main issues with traptrix. Cards exist however that remove your opponent's field so you can put them in a position to where they'll have to summon but unfortunately those aren't searchable. Cards like evenly matched, Dark ruler no more and decent handtraps that shutdown the opponent like droll helps. Limiting special summons or draws both won't do much. The best decks right now don't special summon much and if they do they can still put up negates in just a few. As for drawing well it might be hard to tell but they aren't drawing they're adding cards to hand which are two different things but limiting those won't do much either. What those limitations would do is actually make a lot of the casual and rogue decks much worse. Cyberdarks can definitely be good enough going first or second though, same with the spider deck. Traptrix just has the issue of hole traps only activating when your opponent summons something. Anyways yeah limiting actions would hurt a lot of decks just not the ones that could actually be considered problematic. Btw the special summons aren't the issue. Certain decks can put up the same endless negates in very few summoned like I've mentioned and others have to jump through hoops to get to that. The number of special summons does not equal to how powerful the deck is.

@@jonathanellwood2093 The problem that I have always found with the arguments in favor of ishizu Tear is that mirrors are always used to justify that they are not oppressive decks which is true, ishizu cards partially harm you when ther send cards from the rival to graveyard, especially if your opponent plays the same deck But outside of that context (quite specific) it is a deck that: force your opponent to play your style gives you the option to recover resources and interrupt your rival and you can do all of the above in the turn of both players Lab is the same without the first point. Giving more interactions to the rival is a partial solution as long as they are generic so as not to have to compromise the structure of your deck, which helps but also makes these resources accessible to the cause of the problem, leaving the only more or less viable option to wait for support for ( hopefully) give a little fight to the hegemonic strategy of the moment

Every deck has combos, the problem is every Synchro Spam board looks extremely similar, making it a complete bore to go second against them since you'll already know what you need to deal with them and if you have it or not. Even Link Spam boards tend to have more variety since they often rely on more than just running specific levels to get where they need to go. Though that wasn't always the case because of how stupidly generic Knightmares are and the former EMZ requirements limiting how you could place other Extra Deck stuff alongside them, even if it was removing those restrictions that DID invite scary stuff like Adamantia and Infernobles to wreak havoc for a while.

Really enjoyed the replay! Picked Dragunity back up because of that! Quick question: is the Baby Roc in there for NS Senatus lines when you have no access to Remus/Ravine (and thus no target for Zephyros to return to hand)? I've been running Senatus x2/Baby Roc x1for those situations; is that a fine enough ratio?

@@ShiroiKibaSenatus is just an optional card I choose to run at 1 copy. It's there to bait out disruptions and unbrick certain hands. Baby Roc is there for mostly the early Crystal Wing lines, as an anti-Nibiru measure. Also, there are times where you can use it, instead of Ringowurm, if you happen to send Ringowurm early to the GY, with Ravine or Gae Dearg. And, ofc, it helps in combo lines where, like you said, you have nothing to bounce with Zephyros...

@craftymindgaming3243 appreciate the message back! I didn't even think about early Crystal Wing lines, because people frequently shotgun Nibiru on the Romulus summon, so I just Glow to search Mystletainn and use my NS to full combo lol Watched some of your videos (and subscribed) and I didn't even think about using ASS dragon and Beast to get around DRNM; good stuff. I know it's not good, but I've been running Couse and Oubliette, so when I have Oubliette/Glow in hand to start I can search the other and use Couse to end on Areadbhair instead of Savage to have the counter live (and a negate) Now that I know that trick, I can drop those two lol. Thanks again, I'll have to leave a comment on one of your videos (algorithm and all that jazz)

The problem I would argue are 2 things. First repetition going against Mathmech for example is boring because every match they use the exact same combo, every matchmech game feels the same. The second problem is anti-fun. Most very heavy decks exist to set up a unbeatable board. Im fine with negates, really I am they are interactive but when they get to 4+negates while having a full board then it becomes a problem and dont even get me started on floodgates theres no such thing as a healthy floodgate

Combo Decks are the worst design in YU-GI-OH, the fact that cards are only there to dump into your GY and have at the end of your combo 15+ cards in your GY is insane. I like decks like Scareclaw a lot because they don't need that many cards to go into their boss monster and every combo piece still has value because you want to have them on your field to give your boss monster extra effect which also apply if he gets negated. Losing your minions so to speak weakens your boss monster and using them for cards like Twinsaw is a nice ressource management because you have Tri- Heart weaker for using them as cost. This is a very simple but satisfying design and i wish Combo Decks would have shorter combos and the materials are used as cost and ressource to give the boss monster more effects. This rather then having a omni negate for almost no effort or cost.

Opponent getting more interactions than I get cards in hand because I didn't open any interrupts (they're in my deck) is lame and shouldn't be a thing.

They should limit/ban all of those single card negates/stun/etc, and limit the use of hand traps to just 1 each, and make it so that you have to utilize multiple spells, traps, and card effects to not only bring out your key card(s), but to keep them in play. Like how it was back in the day when beatdown Obelisk was in play. The game is no longer fun, just competitive. The only time the game is fun is when you use unconventional or anti-meta against the meta and they rage quit! Or when you hit them with the Rock, or banish their deck/deck them out, or hit em with an OTK with Exodia, Winged Dragon of Ra, or Galaxy Prime!

the problem is never the engine, the problem is the end board (of generic negates)

The people that complain about combo decks is that they don't have any solutions for going second. If I'm playing a deck that dont rely on my normal summon I always run lava golem theb if I am I run kaijus. The for some spells I always run dark ruler or droplet. It's funny tho it's usually the combo players themselves that complain about combos cause they always go second lol.

End Phase, Magnamhut adds Druiswurm from Deck to hand *Note on Lubellion to GY: the purpose of the second Ravine activation is to send Lubellion to GY to banish Staliege to add to hand, but there is a long time in the combo before you need to accomplish that; Lubellion just needs to hit the GY for the full end board with Beast/Regained, so if Lubellion is discarded for the first Ravine activation (or a Gae Dearg discard) there doesn't need to be a second Ravine activation **Note on Regained to GY: since one of the purposes of the Saronir detach off of Atum is to send Regained from Deck to GY, if Regained is discarded for the first Ravine activation you can send Lubellion from Deck to GY off of the Saronir instead (so no need for a second Ravine discard, since Lubellion and Regained are both already in GY) If you made it this far and found it useful, I'd be happy to explain the NS Combo with Dragunity Legatus and Mist Valley Baby Roc (one of the discards we saw in the replay), but this was already long enough lol.

As a Yu-Gi-Oh boomer (and someone who sucked even back then), I thank God there are still bots I can play against in this game. Tried playing against actual people and by the time I reached Bronze (surprisingly), I was already dealing with scuffed versions of meta decks (obviously not being played as truly intended) and won 1 out of probably 9 games.

80% of games end in scoops and that’s generous.

I have no issues with combos, its been a big part of Yugioh for over a decade. My issue is with modern cards. Now every meta card has negates and instand card destructions, and makes it nearly impossible to actually play the game if you go second. The issue with combos in modern Yugioh isn't the combo itself, its the fact that modern combos lead to gloodgates and negates for days.

I think the issue lies in the general rules for the game. We use homemade rules with my friends and it stops almost all the problems modern YGO has. Starting with 45 unique cards decks with only 1 set of 3 same card allowed, 5 extra deck cards, 5 total summons are allowed per turn maximum, extra monster zone are removed as well as spell field zone and we get 4 monster zone and 4 spell zone, thats it. Also the same effect of any card can only be used twice per turn maximum. And finally you get EITHER a main phase 1 OR a main phase 2, but never both. There is a few others rule changes but you get the idea, this change the dynamic of the game so much, removes a lot of FTK/OTK and insane boards. Not saying our rules are the best but what I mean is that Konami should look into changing some core rules that allow us to have fun while they keep releasing cards.

You mean the introduction of Tearlaments didn't break it beyond fixing already? (That's when I quit the game btw, which also meant goodbye to some clicks revenue for Yugitubers I'm sure). Yugitubers need to user their voices collectively every chance they get to indicate to Konami that they need to do the same thing as Shadowverse (throw powercreep aka broken combos, esp omni negate ones out of the format entirely; a hard reset) as the last shot to save the game going forward.

The editing at 10:03 was so on point.

Lava golem and kash some of these decks are easy

My hot take: Pendulum and Ritual design is a good example of a "balance combo". Their nature as a 2-3 cards combo makes them a real deck with a "High risk, high rewards" deck (I know Ritual sometimes doesn't have high rewards). They're high risk to use because you cannot add too many non-engine. After all, it can hurt your combo, or make it brick. But without non-engine, you lose the opportunity to use some powerful cards like handtraps or board breakers. But we can see some Pendulum decks like Pendymion or PendMagician can get very very strong end board if they can play properly. . Modern combo deck design is too efficient and this gives a lot of unfair advantages. The reason why combo "High risk, high rewards" now is just because Maxx "C" exists. Well, we can drop handtraps to combo. But you can see a lot of combo decks now easily play around handtraps, and still make a strong endboard with follow-up. What if the opponent drops more handtraps, of course, their opponent will start with weaker conditions or maybe they don't have a play because drawing too many non-engine. And don't forget because the modern combo is too efficient, they can add anti-handtraps to protect their combo. . In conclusion, combo decks should have a drawback. Maybe they need a 2-3 card combo like Pendulum, or they're locked to their archetype, less generic bosses, etc. I don't say a deck needs 2 or more drawbacks because 1 is more than enough. The only drawback in modern combo YGO is when their opponent draws Maxx "C" or a very specific card that counters the entire deck. Yeah, you need to draw and pull the specific card from your deck, when your opponent didn't see it. . Bonus, less generic bosses with make the combo more interesting. Because seeing Baron, Chengying, or other generic bosses as endboard again and again is boooring.

Disagree. Pendulum and Rituals are way too low power to be considered balanced, they're way too easy to stop and they were hardly ever good. Balance would be when they can actually stand a chance but most pendulum and ritual decks can't even reach rogue. The fact that they can't run many non engine is one of the main reasons that until the new Zarc/Pend magician support pendulums weren't meta in years and thankfully Konami finally decided to actually make the deck able to run non engine. That's what I consider balance it's not overwhelmingly powerful, it has consistency, it can run non engine and it's versatile. All of these is what pendulum and ritual decks should be considering most of them have many issues due to this and is why people consider them a dead mechanic. I would absolutely not consider a dead mechanic to be balanced. As for your take on modern decks and how Maxx C is a solution....this is the same old song and dance I debated you about but I'll repeat it anyways. Most of the combo decks still lose to a single card and those decks are usually the ones that are meta regardless. Maxx C ain't stopping dragonlink from staying tier 1 not to mention it actively helps meta decks by clogging up deck space for the package which could've been used to add cards that actually counter the meta. Droll a dragonlink or a Manaddium player and you'll realize that Maxx C ain't needed, board breakers and the like also decimate such decks from the face of the earth meanwhile midrange decks focus more on a mix b/w monster and trap interruptions which allows them to play through such cards. I don't see why they need a drawback when most aren't even meta even in the TCG where there's no Maxx C. There's Manaddium and dragonlink sure but they're not even the best decks. Rescue Ace and purrely are still far better than them. Every deck loses to some form of card what else is new however there's more than one card that beats a deck and those usually are good in almost any matchup like droll for example As for the boss monster take I also disagree generic bosses are necessary I feel especially when a deck's boss monster is inadequate take Fabled Leviathan for example or Lightsworns, heck even Ghoti needs to use the Icejade synchro at times.

​@@Honest_Mids_Masher You comparing the current Pendulum and Rituals, with the current situation when every combo is too efficient and generic. That's why you call it "weak". But, if we ignore the current condition, they're already "balanced" because they really "high risk, high rewards" deck. . Well, you say you can still stop the combo with a specific 1-card. As we can see in this video, that isn't enough. And if we talking about the future too. If the current situation we already heard about the concept of "playing around handtraps", I think if Konami never thought about the drawback, this combo deck would be harder to stop. Then, like what I said before. Because the combo now is very efficient. They can also use anti-hand traps to protect their combo. . For Maxx "C", too bad this is the only solution that they can provide to us. I'm not saying this is the only solution. Because I offer some other solutions like making the decks more balanced with drawbacks, restrictions, etc. . Drawback is important to highlight the uniqueness of decks in YGO. It also decreases the condition where you need specific cards to play a game. Current YGO forces you to draw very specific cards to get a chance to play. And teach the player to be wiser before committing their play. . If everything is "perfect", this will be a coin toss simulation and depending on luck. You can go first, and if your opponent is unlucky and doesn't draw non-engine cards, this auto-win. I mean, just look at Josh vs Speedroid a few days ago. If you hate Maxx "C" because this non-engine card decided everything. I think this is the same with other non-engine cards. This is not good if every game is decided by non-engine card only.

@@renaldyhaen Every combo deck is efficient and generic? Dude they're in my eyes as bad as fabled which is an inconsistent mess. Speedroids put up much smaller endboards and yet I'd definitely be putting them above every single pendulum deck and ritual decks because they're able to recover the following turn, can actually go second without needing non engine everytime, can play through interruptions to an actually decent extent, and most importantly they don't lose when you pop two cards on the far left and far right side of the spell and trap zone. Almost every single pendulum deck struggles to go second, same with most ritual decks too and the the ones that do are way too low power or aren't even meta relevant. You say in this video yet there's literal metas that involved people running certain cards because of how hard it counters decks. In the TCG people were playing book of moon because of how well it does against Kashtira, people played droll because it counters SHS and dragonlink and Manaddium, people ran bystials because it countered mathmechs. Konami with their most recent support for pend magicians pretty much removes the drawbacks and it's meta sure but once again it's not the top deck. It obviously loses to the same card every other combo deck loses to and I'm only bringing up handtraps and not board breakers. Also bringing up anti handtraps like called by (which I would've wanted to be banned if it wasn't for Maxx C rn) or crossout which is at one means there's only 3 anti handtraps in the deck. It's a very low chance of happening. Maxx C isn't a good solution it has caused more problems than it solves and tbh I'm questioning whether it actually did anything good at all for the game outside of 2011. They don't need drawbacks that sort of thinking is what caused pendulums and rituals to be considered a dead mechanic. Drawbacks shouldn't be what a deck is defined by. People don't look at purrely and say "This deck loses to a single Kaiju" and are interested in it. The playstyle itself is what draws people in not the drawbacks. Outside of combo decks there's still that issue regardless. Trap decks like Labrynth have ways to stun you out of the game, Purrely can spin yor cards into the deck every time you play and Kashtira requires you to draw the out to Ariseheart if your deck cannot play under Macro which most can't. I doubt that it'd be a cointoss simulator if every deck had recovery and the ability to play non engine honestly I think that decks that can't play those are the ones in the cointoss simulator. As for the auto win Speedroid match with Josh. He didn't know a thing about the cards and he burned through all of his Camelias. He drew mole cricket the next turn had he not burned through them he would've actually won. Other non engine cards don't force you to dedicate a quarter of your deck to running and countering it and other non engine cards don't help meta decks more than the non meta and also other non engine cards don't punish the opponent for playing the game. Nib punishes overextending by pushing past 5 special summons meanwhile Maxx always punishes it and lastly no other non engine card gives one of the most powerful things in this game that being card advantage.

The problem is that people are bad and can’t handle losing let alone understanding if they can’t evolve/adapt then ofc you deserve to lose.
