    Gonna be real, I wish that I knew how creepy *those* yugioh players can be. The ones with vaguely not safe for yugioh mats, playing traptrix/sky striker and/or saying things that really shouldn't be said to your 16 year old opponents. I have no issue with traptrix and sky striker, but those players have put me off them.

    I just started playing TCG after years of duel links and master duel. I bought 3x obelisk structure and 3x blue eyes structure and a case of 25th anniversary. Had a blast teaching my gf how to play. I'm excited to buy more structure decks like the new jack atlas one and maybe a blackwing one if that exists as that was my most fun deck in master duel.

    Blackwing is difficult. You can just buy the newer cards and older as singles. Its best to build the deck in master duel and then buy the single cards online and build your deck that way. Silverwind for example is a 20$ ulra i think. So you have to supplement this. The other cards are very cheap

    I don’t play much other than master duel but I still like buying cards and new sets. So my solution is to just be happy with that you’re able to pull. Build a deck YOU like. You do not have to build super expensive meta decks especially if you’re not competing. I built Sky Strikers and then Branded, two decks I personally love.

    i've play a lot of duel links and master duel, and i just recently bought a Traptrix starter deck to play TCG, i teach my sister to play and she really liked it, now we both play duel links together and in the near future will be playing TCG. Its a shame a lot of people just wouldn't give it a shot, because believe it or not, its not as complicated as you may imagine, just give it some time and you will actually find yourself enjoying different ways of summoning monsters and making different combos. Syncros, XYZ, Pendulums and Links don't ruin the game, is just natural for a game to evolve, dont be afraid to try something new just because of nostalgia

    I started back then around 2008 or so and yeah it was a much different time then, I have been playing for the longest time when my friend got me into playing magic commander and it just blew my mind when I could play with a 100 card deck. I actually like the player base more though its less toxic at times, my locals i go to is pretty chill too and we play games that last for almost hours lol. I think the biggest one I did was with 8 players yes 8 and that was crazy. I now have around 7 magic decks now but I still play yugioh for fun sometimes at locals and sometimes attend the tournament on saturdays just to try my luck there.

    YGO is a game I don't think I could ever get back into. It just feels poorly done these days with no way to really make it more enjoyable. I have fond memories of casual play before the age of XYZ, but the beast is just so different now that it's lost almost every bit of the charm once I put that since of nostalgia away. Magic, Pokemon, and Digimon have proven to feel more like what I want in a card game nowadays. I might consider at least finding my old decks and getting them new boxes and proper fitting sleeves to at least put them down with some proper last respects.

    Reminder that S:P Little Knight has both Super and Secret Rare variants in the OCG, making her cost significantly more manageable for players. Imagine if current TCG Konami was in charge of the prints during Lord of Tachyon Galaxy. I'd have no doubts they'd bump the Dragon Rulers from the commons and rares that they were initially printed at to Super Rare for the babies and Secret Rare for the level sevens, turning the $8-10 rares into $50+ copies of each. Game probably would have died in the TCG with how outrageous it would have been to get into, or people would have reclused back to Edison and GOAT formats. Dragon Ball Super has had Yu-Gi-Oh tier speed and combo lines. Around set 3 Mecha Frieza, set 4 with the dominance of SS3 Goku, Super Shenron Storm of early set 6, even what I'd call King format (a period of time dominated by King Vegeta, King Cold, King Piccolo, and Dark Broly) which was like 2021. The unrestricted format has some Yu-Gi-Oh level combo lines, making FTKs easily realistic. Nowadays, a game lasts for about 5-6 rounds of turns, giving lots of time for back and forth and decks can play out pretty fast. Big thing that helps keep the speed in check is effects to play cards usually require the player or their opponent to have X amount of energy to use it to give their opponent time to prepare and it gives windows for counter play. Staples are also far more reasonable than Yu-Gi-Oh. Only issue at this point is that the game will be phased out for a new version which is supposed to pull back the feel of the game to earlier periods of the game where the game was more focused on using the combo mechanic which is a core part of the game.

    One thing i wished i knew before i started playing yugioh, and i have been playing on and off since the first starter decks came out, but one thing i wished i knew wad how decks worked together see for me i thought decks were suppose to repersent you and what you like sort like how it was in the anime. But that is not the case as i started to learn how to build decks and one thing i learned was that decks have a theme aka part of a archetype and how each card works in the archetype and that can make some decl huilding confusing or so. One word of advice i would say if you want to see how these decks work in action test them in something like edo pro before buying the real cards.

    I'm trying to get back into paper/cardboard yu-gi-oh, and the staple reprint set has been nice (still haven't bought anything yet, as I'm weighing my options vs paying bills XD). My gripes are that I can not find any singles stores in Australia, and that the decks I like (and play on Master Duel) are tier 2 or lower, or look interesting and fun with great art, but cost an arm and a leg. Centur-Ion for example, has been rarity shifted higher, and are seemingly the only cards people want from their booster set, which drastically out prices my budget. I'm currently looking at playing P.U.N.K, Magikey+World Chalice, Destiny Hero, or Elemental Hero (focussing on the new Flame Wingman). I was looking at the lair of darkness structure deck, but its out of stock everywhere I look, and the boss monster has never been reprinted...

    That's one of the biggest issues of playing physical YGO. I live in Canada and prices are about 50%-300% more expensive than in the US. this is specially more true on certain cards because we cannot use TCGplayer to get access to those "said" cards. I use 5 different websites that ship to Canada and I literally cannot build certain decks because they are all sold out.

    I am a yugi-boomer and a magic player. I love the back and forth of a good match. The ebb and flow of a game. After an intense match, shaking hands and saying “damn that was close”, just hits right. Modern yugioh DOES NOT do that for me. The feeling of each player playing 10 minute solitaire until one wins just sucks. That ebb and flow doesn’t exist.

It has Effects that summon big monsters and stuff. But its slow. Very slow. So i got my friend to play with me. He is playing something like amazoness, or fortune lady. Another very slow deck that maybe summons 1-2 monsters and done. Yu-Gi-Oh is only so good as you want it to be. You can play how and what you want. Thats what i love.

    Exactly. Yugioh duels used to feel like a mid-season heavyweight anime fight, with two side characters starting slow and gradually pulling all the stops until among other things they introduce viewers to the power scale of whatever they were watching. Nowadays it feels like bad fan writing. Especially when the decider is a gacha card.

    Yugioh for better or worst plays into the power fantasy dream. Which normally isnt a bad thing... For a single player game. Unfortunately, this power fantasy tends to mean the other player is not having fun or sometimes could even not exist and the game state (occasionally )wouldnt have changed one bit. No other 2 player game has the potential power to alienate 1 player as hard as yugioh can. For me personally, thats what i hate about it. But everyone has their own opinion. To add to that, since i just watched the end of the video. Regarding the social aspect. Its getting to be extremely difficult to get my other friends to play modern yugioh. MTG and One Piece was super easy to invite them in and teach. But Yu-Gi-Oh is the exact opposite. Yes, the rules are the same as Paul mentioned. But so so many cards break the games own rules. And so many interactions are never explained properly by the game itself that the average player just wouldnt want to bother.

    One thing to know is that despite effect monsters saying "effect" in their textbox, only part of that is the effect. An activation leads to two actions: the cost and the effect. This is why you have to banish cards when using pot of extravagance and the opponent can still negate the effect. Paying the cost isn't the effect, it's just what comes before it. Ignoring some ruling irregularities with some outlier cards (or unclassified effects) and cards using weird wording, especially in older printings, this is how it works. AFAIK, a cost is immediately recognizable as a cost since it's after the : of the restriction (i.e. when it activates/when you can activate it) and before the ; that precedes the effect. Some effects have the effect after this little string of text here: ", and if you do, " which isn't as nice and easy to make out but you can get used to it. Oftentimes if it feels like a cost it turns out to be one. Maybe I have it easier as a Master Duel player since the game deals with the rules not me, and it also shows the whole effect that gets activated. Also is it just me or is every effect in reality just an effect of an effect where the primary effect has a cost and constitutes the whole sentence and the effect of the effect, i.e. the action detailed at the end is what can be negated by other effects that state something like "negate the effect"? You could almost just say that restriction (optional), cost (optional) and effect of an effect monster, a spell or a trap are all there is and they don't form a complex that has to be given a name, since that could just be referred to as spell / trap or effect monster, but what about those cards with multiple effects? (In that case they are even officially called effects) Something like activations or so might make more sense. You have something you can activate; you, your opponent and the judge if any, or the viewers if any check the restriction ("In the battle phase:" for example) is met, you pay the cost "you can send this card to the graveyard (GY)" and you opponent then chains his/her own effect to it, namely the card Infinite Impermanence which negates the monster effect (let's pretend the monster is face-up on the field already), at this point a chain has been formed consisting of two links: Chain link 1 is the monster you're using; chain link 2 is Infiinte Impermanece. The chain was built in this order and all costs have been paid in that order and the chain of effects resolves in the opposite order. First your monster gets negated by Infinite Impermanence, then you try and fail (at least Master Duel has the card rising and produzing a quizz show's wrong answer buzz sound and the card getting greyed out temporarily).

    For the game playing not like the anime. As a person that started playing yugioh more seriously because of the anime the overkill boss monster thing literally became how I wanted to play yugioh. In fact the one card combo that got me into the game was yuma using double or nothing to literally double utopias attack to overkill levels so I literally do the same thing in the real game now. Sure its not optimal considering everyone can get like multiple negates onto the board but all it takes is one moment to hit your opponent to otk them.

    Of course I learned in the the end that MST does not negate. However, "my" playground Yugioh consisted of 3 other friends. Everyone else thought it was so nerdy. I had a PSP with Tag Force 3, that game was a blast and got me into different archetypes, but I really never figured out to google the meta decks -- I had high disdain for synchros back then. Without any sort disrespect & honest and sincere questions: I see a lot of american black creators in the Yugioh scene. What was playground yugioh for you back then? How many different people did you duel with physical cards into your pre-teens? Is Yugioh (somehow) a sleeper hit in the black community? Thank you for your continued input and content for the scene, I greatly appreciate it.

    One thing I wish I knew before starting Yu-Gi-Oh is that not all archetypes are built equally, and to this day, that's probably the most disappointing part of the game to me. I have all these archetypes that I love, but I can't play them if I want to have any chance of winning. Not pure, anyway (which is how I prefer to play). Blue Eyes, Toons, Exodia, Kuriboh, even newer archetypes I've grown attached to like Melffy; can't play any of those pure if I want to win, or so I've been told

    That's just any card game that relies on product with inherent chance to pull stuff. They're not gonna make everything Equal because that doesn't move sets you need to always have something better than the rest to push people to splurge more on packs but more so people who buy in bulk so they can make money so they buy sets again and distros make money

    When I first got into competitive yugioh I was used to the GBA games where you would be fine building a deck of 1600-2000 attack waifus and win, I was getting destroyed at locals week after week, by players playing 5DS era decks and it wasn’t until I picked up a caius monarch theme deck that I had any success, I wish I knew I could have built a decent deck to compete with them by combining theme decks rather than playing as I did in the games.

    My problem was the disconnect between video game rulings and tabletop ones. All my friends played different games, with me being the YBoomer and only had played Dark Duel Stories. We had literal fist fights over these misinterpreted versions, but I do remember in the end combining all the rules to make OUR recess sessions at least balanced in everyones' minds. Color me shocked when I got into MDuel, only to find out my rules never even existed... 20+ years later. There is no Attribute ruling that allows DMagic to best BEyes. You have to play Polymerization for your Fusions.... I am so glad I play MtG instead YGO in paper, however, I do enjoy pulling out my old decks, and running the newer peeps through a time portal 🤣🤣

    I miss the back and forth that it used to have, I want every duel to fell like Kaiba vs Yugi in the battle city finals, where every action had a response and it really came down to the wire. And outside of pure sky strikers most decks that had potential to compete at the highest level haven’t allowed as much back and forth between players

    If you know how to deck build in modern yugioh, you have TONS of options to make a cheap deck that can steal games from top decks here and there. You won't be mega consistent, but you'll get some wins and be pretty happy if you just like dueling for it's back and forth and combo-heavy meta. Fun times. Yugioh is mega cheap for ppl like myself who go for unorthodox under the radar strats as well as just simply waiting for price drops on key cards.

And plot twists its free to play it like that. And it will stay free as Konami wont disable emulators because pro tcg players test there.

    When I learned the official rules the thing I HATED most was the turn "phases." So confusing when I'm trying to read/memorize what the monster effects, traps, and magic cards already do. In Pokemon they make it simple, no phases, one turn. You can play unlimited items, ONE supporter trainer, add ONE energy, ONE evolution, and fill your bench with Pokemon if you want.
