The reason I played Speed Duels was because I prefer playing paper over online, and Duel Links has a very predatory gatcha system. I also preferred the card design in Speed Duels, as it seemed to focus more on the iconic cards; Serpent Night Dragon and Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth were top tier, and the skills were designed around them. I think more games should try and learn from the more consumer friendly system that Legends of Runeterra has, but perhaps there isn't as much money in letting people outright buy singles for a fair price.

One problem I see with YuGIOh over Runeterra (I play both consistently) is that... we have no way to adjust cards post launch. It is a feels bad IRL when you spend money on a card for it to be banned shortly after. Why it works so well in Runeterra is the fact they balance cards instead of banning them. By all means they could make a form of YGO online that can do that, but I think the S tier decks that can run around anyone can build would probably scare anyone off of the game fast.

The issue is that Konami runs the game and it’s Konami so you can’t expect much from them.

Speed Duels are the only reason I'm even interested in Yugioh for the first time in 12 years. The simplicity makes the game approachable and more fun because you don't have to consider 10+ years of cards to collect and stay competitive. I hope it lives on post-covid. I spent a few hundred dollars and was able to basically construct all of the decks I could think of with the existing sets. That's impossible with the regular game.

Paul, you've been pumping out these candid conversations a lot! I appreciate that.

At the very least, the Battle City Box provides a time capsule of classic Yu-Gi-Oh that is entirely self-contained, able to be played like a traditional board game. Using cubeamajig deck boxes and card sleeves, it becomes a nice product to bust out for some casual fun. As for fixing speed duels, honestly at this point the only thing I could see being worthwhile is integrating speed duel cards into main sets and deck releases, being printed on select cards. Everyone hates War Rock and the Ice barrier structure deck is looking grim, but what if some of the cards were speed duel legal? Suddenly war rock is meta? and ice barrier tech cards could be used, even introducing synchros, xyzs, and links that aren't dragoon-tier. Seemingly random choices in reprint sets could introduce format defining cards that would normally see no play in the regular format. It would at least justify our products coming later than the OCG, having to decide which cards get introduced into speed duels. Unfortunately, it seems like rush duels will be our alternative format, but I'll still try it out when we get it.

they already do that with duel links, the trap card massivemorph, skyfang brigade/aka fur hire, witchcrafters, they were all released into the ccg then fast tracked into duel links where they became top tier decks or part of top tier decks, they all currently have presence on the duel lnks F & L list, so kinda ended up being bad for the game used that way anyway, but it's basically been done & continues to be done , & without a 3 month delay, there's plenty of time in the R&D process prior to release to work stuff like that out or even to develop cards specifically for the side product like it seems they did with massivemorph

They have cosmic cyclone etc in speed duel , battle city box released a lot of nice stuff . Speed duels is fun and I hope it picks back up

Hope the Battle City did well, because that's the format i'd like to see it continue with. A self contained set of cards that can be played like its own game.

I like speed duels because it brings the prices down on the singles market

The best reason to play Speed Duels over Duel Links is the accessibility of the cards via being able to purchase singles.

As much as I dislike having to re-buy cards, the cards they are selling for speed duels are actually very good (or nostalgic, depending). And cheap enough that it's not a big deal especially if purchases are spread out instead of binging. In any case, it's more like "how much money are you willing to spend to escape the insane combos and mechanics of the modern game?"

my favorite thing about speed duels was the fact that you could pay $15-20 to grab a 2 pack of speed duels decks that you can play with your friends right away. I had one old yugioh deck but I could never play with friends because it was very hard to find people who still had a complete deck

Speed duels got me back into yugioh and I still play it mainly.

I honestly don't think Speed Duels has a future. When there's already the TCG, Rush Duels, a new Master Duel videogame coming up, a new Rush Duel videogame for the Nintendo Switch soon, and Duel Links.. I don't see a place for it. If people want to have a Speed Duel experience, they'll just play Duel Links like you said especially during these times. Not only is it objectively a better experience (there's tutorials, decklists, auto-build, etc for new players), but you also don't have to be face-to-face to play against people and cards are fairly easy to obtain through pure F2P grinding. There's Ranked, Casual, and Friend duels and the occasional PvP events like KC Cup or Turbo Duel Grand Prix if you wanna play with other people. The Chinese version of Duel Links even introduced a new Guild feature and a new "Monster Gate" where you can challenge a strong monster and even bring a tag partner with you and we can expect these two features to come to the normal Duel Links at some point in the future. There's just no reason to play Speed Duels or buy the products. It doesn't help that you're literally being sold back old cards and you can't even use any of them in any other format because they're only allowed to be used in Speed Duels.

It looks simple and cheap. Id rather they made different formats. Maybe a singleton format, where deck building is key, because it will make relying on the "HEART of the CARDS" to draw what you need in a singleton, 40 card deck with extra deck, rather than getting your playset of broken combo off cards that make you win turn 1,2, or 3... They need to make a new format or more... eventually. So much can be done to make this game great. To get started, Im building 2 decks right now. My cheap 3x Order of the Spellcasters Endymion deck im sure will beat my 200 dollar Horus/Ultimaya Tzolkin/Hieratics deck... but idc. I play for fun and FLAVOR. Deck building for flavor rather than power is what I care about.

having to use the "speed duel" specific watermarked versions of cards is a ludicrous requirement and any tournament that tries to enforce that deserves to fail lmao

This is why I just use my current real cards if ever I do speed duels. Also, depending on who I'm playing, we won't even reduce our deck sizes. We never got the support for turbo duels. We barely got any cards for action duels. Then, as you said, we got crappy support for speed duels.

Its a shame, I really like speed duels :( love the new rarities and stuff, and don't really care for rush duels that much, I understand why the cards look different, but that takes me out of it a little, it feels like a bigger departure from the Master rule, when speed duel felt like and older format but with a twist

Honestly it looks like there was more effort put in rush duels and from what I played I definitely prefer rush duels over speed duels. All we need now is to get them in the west

I don't mind Speed Duels for teaching beginners because I keep it in its preassembled SDs but play with the regular rules. (Like 5 monster/spell zones, draw 5, etc.) The reason for this is the cards are very simple compared to current Yugioh and I find it is very easy to attempt to make a simple deck for beginners and have it get blown way out of proportion just because of the huge card pool in the original. I love playing Speed Duels with my 6 year old daughter. She actually quite often beats me just because I have no luck. Lol!

I have recently found out speed duels existed with structure decks and I have been dueling on my work breaks with co-workers for about a month now. The format is short enough to get about two duels minimum in per break without all the tilting new meta gameplay. The signature skill card effects are also a nice edition as it really feels like you have a trump card like the anime protagonists have when behind. I hope this new way of dueling doesn't die just after finding out about it :(

I think the Battle City Box was also an issue. They should have just individually had the decks prebuilt, but they didn't. It was just given as a random bunch of cards and a list of how to build them. And the cards; it wasn't the classic Blue Eyes and Dark Magician, which disappointed my brother who was hoping to get back in. That kinda killed some of the nostalgia.

Can we get an updated video on speed duel thoughts?

KOG is a nice goal that a lot of decks can reach, but if you compare the Speed Duel competitive, you have to compare to events such as Duel Links Meta. So considering wanting to win big tournaments as your goal for both Speed Duels and Duel Links, consider this: The most expensive best deck of the format in Speed Duel has costed less than $100. In Duel Links, such decks require money (no longer free to play), and sometimes require more money than Speed Duels. Speed Duels has the option to buy singles that are sometimes super cheap. Duel Links requires timely grind and a credit card. Dkayed even said that a card in a box can potentially cost you around 100 dollars if unlucky with the box. There is no such thing in Speed Duels. And in Speed Duels, the expensive cards are few. You can still buy 10 cents cards to 1 dollar cards. You don't need to spend gems and credit cars money to get trash cards like trying to get a Limit Reverse in Duel Links. Most cards are very cheap.

For me, re-selling old cards is the best part! You get to play what’s called “Old Yugioh” and actually enjoy the game again without dealing with single turn victories. (I am against “modern yugioh”, I don’t like the complexity)

I haven't really gotten into speed dueling due to a lack of interest/marketing. Though I will say it's best selling point would be to help newer players to learn the game. I think if they pushed it in that direction, it may have done a bit better. Like if they had a speed duel tournament for beginners before an actual locals on a weekend or something. Also the lack of 'OTS' packs for it as well.

one thing i think you failed to mention is that speed duels best caters to that yugioh consumer who loved the game as a kid but hasn't picked it up since it got too "complicated". This simplified strategy with no links or pendulums is what peaks the interest of the OG DM-era duelist. Someone who probably hasn't thought of yugioh for years could pick up the battle city box and keep it next to their cards against humanity and monopoly on their game shelf. I have not played yugioh since 2012 and randomly got into duel links. one month later i've logged in to play every day and love that its a way to play yugioh in a general sense. I would totally get the battle city box just to teach my friends how to play for a game night, but having that said this limits my interest to casual play only and i would not spend a dime on speed duel cards otherwise.

I saw speed duels as an attempt to cash in on the resurgence of the original anime on Netflix. The modern tcg would be impenetrable for a new generation trying to emulate yugi and kaiba.

You mentioned not having Cosmic Cyclone... Speed Duels does have Cosmic Cyclone, it was just added last November. You mentioned that it doesn't make much sense to invest in speed duels, yet the cards in speed duels actually have value. In my opinion, it doesn't make sense to invest in Duel Links, as the cards literally have zero value whatsoever. You cannot trade or sell Duel Links cards. You can currently build a complete, Speed Duel meta deck for under $20. There are many single cards in advanced format that cost more than that, that people play 3-ofs. That argument never made sense to me. If money is the problem, Speed Duels is far cheaper than advanced. If money is not a problem, then why use it as an excuse? I completely agree about the booster boxes being rather lame, and the lack of a competitive scene definitely hurt. I honestly believe the biggest issue Speed Duels faced is that the biggest yugitubers brushed it off as a bad product from the beginning, and never really gave it a chance. You guys had a video at the beginning talking about the "problems with speed duels" about two years ago. We've had a rather large unofficial competitive scene, and we'd love it if you and other yugitubers would join some tournies and try the game out on a competitive level. The competitive side of things is really fun, and having big yugitubers advertise it more would definitely help build the community. discord.gg/AsGS7EE

I really liked speed duel it was cool having decks themed off of characters from the show which got us into it playing. Next play popular characters weevil and Rex because they never had an official deck so it was really neat. before it also keep everyone on a neutral playing level the speed duel decks didn’t have a big power creep vs when we played normal Yugioh we had to plan which decks to use because some decks were way to good

My biggest beef with Speed Duels was the requiring the Speed Duel logo. Like you mentioned they are just reprints that most I already own SEVERAL copies of. If I want to use my SDK-001 Blue-Eyes, I should be able to use my SDK-001 Blue-Eyes. I hadn’t even thought of the fact that commons got reprinted at higher rarities that make those reprints highly valuable

I already have a playset of Blade Knight. Why does the Speed Duel version cost 5 bucks each?

My buddy looked it up, Battle City box was the last one. Konami is focusing on the new version of "speed duels" that is getting a show and will only be in OCG.

Rush Duels!

If use chimeratech dragons effect to send 2 herz to the grave can I use both herz effects? I've been playing on a virtual thing and when I send to I can only use one of there effects

I honestly think they should have just made Speed Duels just classic basic Yugioh. Just recreate the original Starter Decks. And make cards allowed in Speed Duels always have that mark, even if found in a booster pack or Structure Deck.

iuonno why but i cant stop watching i dont even play card games love the content!(for some reason)

Fun thought keep speed duels alive by using your own cards

I love speed duels🙏

Personally, I am trying to start something locally and we have a small group of people interested but what's hurting it is having to rebuy the cards.

don't follow official rules on card requirements, the official support is ending anyway, just let people use their norm cards and have some fun with speed duels while there's the chance to

So yugioh went wrong... Just the usual

I think of Speed Duels had retrained or released new cars along with the old cards, it would have done much better, but the thing is, Konami can never overcome their own wall of having a *Free* alternative to the game in Duel Links

So where did they go wrong? Marketing for sure. OCG deciding they wouldn't support it was also a big hit to them. And content creators for advanced also barely showed interest, so much so that speed duel relies on its own small yugitube community. And its biggest flaw, it didn't offer an official comp scene, giant cards are $1000 tournaments, but only at YCS and with nothing in between. Luckily, the speed duel community took this into their own hands and host their own tournaments constantly, most online. Recently even a live tournament with 100+ players and a $500 prize pool. So it definitely made big mistakes hindering its own chance of success. However, a lot of critiques is imo also unjustified. It's not a new game. It isn't trying to be. It's an alternative format like modern, standard, commander, etc are to MtG. I also hear a lot of complaints about being able to play your old yugioh copies of a speed duel card and I get where people come from, but would you rather have them go the rush duel route and reprint some classic cards and just have you buy the exact same card, but with a different name and image that you can't use in advanced? They would have sold you something either way. Speed Duel decks also almost never cost more than like $30 for a complete competitive deck, which is the equivalent of being able to join the comp scene after buying 3 starters, but most cost even less than that. And we have many skills DL doesn't have. None of the comp used skills are available in DL.

But I do like his point about reselling of old cards... I didn't even realize that you were only allowed to use Speed duel printed cards. That is was unsold me, I was thinking of giving it a shot because the only thing I thought I needed to invest in would be the skill cards. Now that I know you have to use the actual speed printed cards, forget it. I do think that Konami should start supporting different formats too. Just like how Magic has Modern and Vintage etc. For me being a player that just got back into the game after a few years, I really took to Goat Format (even though its unofficial) :)

I mean, you can still play non-official copies while playing with friends. You just can't join official tournament, but neither can you play official goat tournaments. Speed Duel tournaments are also online atm anyway.

I love speed duels. I prefer it over traditional. I had to sell all my old cards earlier this year to get by, so I dont mind buying old reprinted cards personally. I feel the majority of players who play traditional don’t even wanna give speed duels a shot, so I feel like if Konami makes a new speed duel box and puts in secret rare cards that have only ever had 1 printing like Air Neos, then the box would sell instantly and give people more reason to give speed duels a shot.

I think that they should have used the same card layout that they used in Rush Duels and the clarification of the effects if they are going to introduce new people, not to mention exclusive cards, I mean, check the War Rock archetype, in TCG is going to bomb but in Speed Duels they can be meta.

I just love the cards i use em in my normal deck

First of off I Agree with ‘Dzeeff’ when he said that the one advantage of playing Physical Verses Digital is that, Yes ‘Speed Duals’ is Basically ‘Dual Links’ but in real life. But the only Advantages that ‘Speed Duals’ have over ‘Dual Links’ that The Cards that you Pay are Forever, just in case for whatever the reasons Konami stops Supporting ‘Dual Links’ than all of the Cards and Achievements that you have Earn in Game are now gone with ‘Speed Duals’ you don’t have to worry about that, and there are a few other things he said in his ‘Digital V Physical’ video that escape me right now. And with that said, I have a Strong Feeling that as soon as ‘Rush Duals’ comes out for us it would easily Replace ‘Speed Duals’. The Biggest Mistakes that I think Konami made with ‘Speed Duals’ are the First is they make it Feel Like At Least to Me anyways, they make feel like all they are selling with ‘Speed Duals’ are the ‘Skill Cards’. Instead of an Entire New Card Game Based on the Yugioh Card Game. Any ways the Second is that they Don’t even try to make it feel deferent from ‘Dual Links’. The Third is that to me at First it I think even now it just Feels again to me that Not All of Decks are made Equal when using as is. And what I mean about that is that One Deck could be Way Much Stronger then another by like a lot. And the Fourth and probably the Final Reason is that ‘Speed Duals’ just simply feels way too slow compared to the ‘Master Dual’ with understandable reasons, and the ‘Old School Slow Play’ may not be everyone’s Cup of Tea especially for those that didn’t knew Yugioh Existed until the Zexal Era or whatever. Again with Understandable Reasons. Along with on top of everything that was said in this Vide.

Pls don’t take this the wrong way, but Duel. “Dual” denotes two, like dual citizenship. Duel is a fight between two people.

Synchro and XYZ monsters exist in Duel Links for sure.

Duel links was the correct platform for it basically

As someone who hasn't played yugioh in about 10 years or so, speed dueling is what has me playing again. It's nice for nostalgia sakes and is simple for older small brains 😂 plus it kinda feels more like the anime if you think about it

1 year later And we are still speed dueling. Plus the gx box dropped. Unfortunately Paul this opinion didn't age well. Love your content though never stop

Love speed duels as a way to introduce new players to yugioh. Get them started with duel links that bring them in to speed duels for hands on cards

Speaking from the "future" Speed Duels are still continuing on especially after the Battle City Boxes positive reception. The only problem I can see so far, aside from the long hiatus between the last products pre-B.C.B, the Battle City Box, and now the GX Duel Academy Box, is that the product base may be just box sets with multiple structure decks now, with expansion box sets coming in the future as we are currently seeing with the GX sets. Which isn't entirely a bad thing, it is introducing more cards and later summoning forms at a decent, yet still kind of slow, pace without going too crazy with releases and new formats and cards, basically introducing long winded and excessive games with strategies like we see in Master Rule now where someone can win on turn one. But at the same time it is limiting the format to various box sets/structure decks which have a set pool of cards all around the range $20 - $40. Again it's still fine, but a part of me questions how long they can keep up with this strategy. Yes you can mix and match cards and strategies in the various structure decks provided, but I would still like the multiple booster packs that we got in the past to maybe add a little more spice, or rather variety, to our decks and strategies. Yes I know the box sets do come with a small pool of cards outside of the constructed decks for that purpose, but as far as I know it's also a set pool of them that you get in each box set, i.e. you and everyone else get the exact same ones in each separate box set, I could be wrong though.
