It truly is a glorious quote hahaha 🇺🇸🦅🦅🎆🎇

The old ressource system - and I mean the VERY old ressource system - was simply to have a quite limited set of actions you could do each turn. Summon a monster, than maybe a second through its effects, place a trap or two, play a spell and you're done, turn finished. With the power creep of Yu-gi-Oh came "action creep" so to speak, and that's where it went nuts.

@@YeahTheDuckweed Yeah, point is the effects got so nuts they re-wrote the game from the short turns where only a few cards if any are played due to the original rules of what could be played in a turn, to the modern hellscape of endless turns we have now due to breaking the "caps" on numbers of card you play each turn. Put simply, what happened was that the few limits the game had were bypassed by creating more and more broken effects to go past the two most crucial limits to the "old yu-gi-oh" feel: 5+ Stars monsters requiring tribute, and a single summon per turn allowed. The "ressources" were action limits, which they basically just created new rules to get around of. In a way, you could consider this easier to "corrupt" than mana, but I'm not sure; power-creep is sadly just in the nature of most card games' lifetime, and Yu-Gi-Oh has been around for a quarter century, so its state isn't surprising.

This right here is the exact reason why I think the problem with Red-Eyes isn't that it's Fusion Spell is too restrictive. It's that the archetype doesn't use a "Towers" playstyle in order to facilitate a single Fusion per turn, and that's it. It should be given support that allows it to just use spell/traps more easily and to protect whatever boss monster you summon

I'm on the camp of bringing other deck's power down to the point they are more similar to what red-eyes does rather than buffing red-eyes until the point they have ways to have indestructible boss monsters on the field, because that's not fun or interactive at all.

The problem with Red-Eyes is that its core gameplan has been changed by Konami about 12 times. Right now it's in a position where if they leaned into its best gameplan, that being burn the deck would probably become an FTK powerhouse.

I think the Extra Deck being a third hand is the biggest factor. It started with Synchros building summon chains to climb the levels, but you were at least limited by the tuners on the field, and needing to match correct levels. And the following formats eased up on that a bit. You could upgrade XYZ, but usually only if you drew a rank up spell from your deck, with a couple of exceptions like Galaxy Eyes. Pendulum was really powerful, but you still needed to get said cards from your deck into your hand. Then Links came out: where most of the small Links are made to summon other monsters to flood the field and build bigger Links. At that point the Extra Deck really did become a third hand: instead of the Extra Deck usually being where you house your boss monsters that your main deck is trying to make, it became mostly extenders. The Extra Deck became the mechanisms of the deck, and the Main Deck was only needed to provide a way into the card that will serve as the ignition to those mechanisms, with some tech cards splashed in. And since the ED is always there, you don't need to set it up and move the needed cards into it like the GY or the actual Hand. Not to mention how many Links are generic, making them accessible to any deck that floods monsters on the field: further rewarding the long chains of summons play style. Then when that became the norm, other decks needed to start doing the same to keep up. Pendulums were very strong, but I will always maintain that Links were an overcorrection that harmed the game more than it helped in the long run. That and hand traps, because when you add a mechanic to just draw into a free negate that can't be removed, you're just asking for the other deck to start doing more effect activations to keep playing past it.

I'm not saying they should all be Flower Cardians but generic combo access is an advantage for tech choices these meta decks do not deserver. A good middle ground would be something like Arcjet Lightcraft where the Xenolock is a Continuous Effect - not a lingering restriction/effect. Meaning it would only apply while on the field. It can make for much more complex decisions by preventing pivoting to tech choices in the middle of xenolock combos but still allow them as an eventual option.

Lack of a "resource" system is not the answer either. When you see MTG's legacy formats like Legacy or even Vintage, they still do a lot of broken combos, matches end in one or 2 battle phases and they barely spend any mane for anything. IMO this is more of a fundamental desing flaw(s) in YGO card design. The push for every box to sell forces them to elevate the power curve more exponentially without track consideration on how balanced they can be. Like, they allow things like Testament and Zodiac to happen, and they were fine with them.

@VestedUTuber

To be fair, unless one player is playing a blue disruption deck, MTG Legacy and Vintage (and even Un-format) still allows for both players to do those broken combos. YGO's flowchart is this: Does player going second have enough hand traps? If no, player going first plays a huge turn and locks player going second out of playing If yes, player going second prevents player going first from playing their turn, and then plays a huge turn and locks player going first out of playing

I've played master duel since launch and i stopped. The restrictions on the card telling the player what the can summon isnt a gameplay restriction, but more of a deck building one. If youre going to spamming dark attributes from the extra deck, who cares about the restrictions set by one card

Yes, Branded Fusion locks you into only extra deck fusion monsters for the turn? Oh no, what ever will I do in my fusion deck that only runs 1 non-fusion monster in the extra deck, that I don't even need to summon turn 1 because one of the fusion monsters can just summon it on my opponents turn, and said fusion monster can also be summoned on my opponents turn as well.

It's important to remember that the reason that Yugioh doesn't have a resource system is because it was a manga and anime first, and wasn't intended to be an actual game. Adding in a resource system like lands or energy or mana means a lot of book keeping. The yugioh anime would be garbage if you had to watch the characters track their mana and explain the costs of their cards and play a land or energy every turn etc. It doesn't have a resource system not because it was actually designed intelligently from the ground up with that environment in mind, but because it would be boring to watch on a screen or in a book. The greatest irony is, a resource system normally exists to slow down the game and encourage a system where you ramp up and curve out. The yugioh anime and manga, despite not having a system like this for the sake of dynamic storytelling, still often has these heavy back and forth escalating duels where the biggest plays are the climax rather than up front. The system that the anime and manga excluded in order to facilitate dynamic and fun to watch duels, is precisely the same system that facilitates the gameplay style of dynamic and fun to watch duels. The game has no resource system because that would be a terrible viewing experience, and yet the duels in the series arbitrarily follow gameplay patterns only made possible by the same system they declined to use.

As a person who gave up on yugioh and only shows up occasionally to see what new cards have come out, I can say that the turns being long is not as bad as what they end on. The turns take long because the game is so imbalanced that people are afraid of what their opponent could be playing, so they make extra sure that they cant play so they can ensure they even get to play. And for those who just enjoy doing super long combos, they dont realize that a combo deck is still a combo deck even if the combo takes a few turns to pan out. Im not one of those guys that just wants yugioh to go back to how it was because it was never any better than it is right now. But back to my original point, yugioh doesn't have boss monsters anymore. They just have extra deck extenders that lead into more extenders because nothing is worth summoning anymore unless it basically says you win the game. You could argue that yugioh players are impatient, and that's true, but that doesnt stop the game from being filled with cards that enable them to just step on the gas and race beyond the finish line. The restrictions are flimsy, The effects are busted beyond belief for no reason, and apparently, the banlist doesn't exist. The video does make a point that Konami is designing around this new speed, but that just means that soon, a normal summonable monster will just be a boss monster on its own. I just wanna reach some kind of equilibrium where powerful cards dont have to be game winning, and weaker cards are integral to a strategy.

Thankfully this play style isn't that good because of existence of very strong singular cards that can destroy board like there's no tomorrow and tool built in the archytipe to help deal with such oppressive board, so decks that do all in going 1st have a good change of getting their board broke,the opponent comboes on top of the rumble and since you didn't leave any fallowup you can't beat their weak end board

Which means each player is effectively starting with 15 cards in hand. Also the Extra Deck is almost a second hand every player can access, and each of *those* cards is worth 3 cards simultaneously.

​@@user-ml6sl4yx2d Konami can make GOAT or Edison as official format and release new cards for them. It is better for player than Speed Duel. Player can use them as "practice" before playing the real modern YGO, or if they love it, they can stay too. It give more option for the player. While Speed Duel, it still very difficult to jump from Speed to Advanced format because both of them are very different.

I mean that's essentially what Rush Duel already is

I think they should put a limit to how many extra deck summons per turn to like 2 or 3 while special summons from the deck, hand and GY to a total of 3 to 5. So with a limit the player can't just fill up the field as easy and once the player reaches the limit that's it, finish the turn, wait till the next turn to do more instead of 10min on one bloody turn.

I remember you had to believe in the heart of the cards, now you just need one of 7 cards that lets you start a 20 card combo that end with you gaining your opponents social security number

I think two particular things worth noting that also affect the perception of YGO when you go a bit further into the game are negation as a mechanic and floodgates. There's a reason that the meme that saying no to your opponent is the most powerful tool exists, as being disabled from playing can feel very unfun and break the game for some. I'm not saying every deck out there is a negate-fest, and as far as I've seen, Konami is trying to slowly move away from that, though floodgates are questionable still, but in many levels, the interaction between players is hampered with both. There's an argument to be made that having the "skill" to rebound from negates and knowing _when_ to use negates is important, but I'm personally not really a fan of this design on a more fundamental level. YGO is kind of insane when you think about it, as no other card game out there has effects as wild, but at the same time, it can be too chaotic for some. The game is absolutely way too fast, and I still stand that this can be seen in Trap cards. Modern "good" Trap cards need to be _very_ strong or have an immediate way to be activated to be viable (Solemn being in the ironic space that it's old but is a negation). Konami has been experimenting with them too via archetypes like Labrynth and Traptrix to... interesting results, but neither has really taken the competitive scene yet. Eh, there's a reason I like to just watch the game and not play anymore lmfao.

OH ALSO. I still find hilarious that there were people running Dogwood to get some sacky timeout wins against i think Ishizu-Tear? I forget when it happened, but using the time limit like that is just stupidly funny to me.

Really sad to see the Swordsoul/old Branded philosophy being abandoned. Even these decks are in the dust, the former left to be forgotten and the latter joining the combo piles.

What’s the song that plays at the end? I’m really rocking with it.

I think rush duel is the direction Konami wants yugioh to go in. Other Japanese CCGs have simplified card text , larger artwork, easy to understand rules (for the most part) while still maintaining the complexity of the game. The card games that come to mind when I say this is Cardfight Vanguard and One piece. It’s too bad that Konami doesn’t just make the standard yugioh products look like the rush duel cards. Would probably be able to get more newer players in

I don't care about pain anymore. Heart of the cards... guide me.

I think if the game was overhauled to use some kind of limiter mechanic, YGO would turn out a bit more fun. Perhaps instead of "summoning only one monster up to level 4" perhaps "summon up to 4 stars worth of monsters" might make some other cards more feasible. Or perhaps have gameplay determined by how many UR cards are in the deck (most/all of the METAs are composed of 50-75% UR cards I've noticed). There's a game I played called "MYTHGARDE" who uses a good resource system called "Reforging." This means that a card from hand is selected to be reshuffled back into the deck to apply resource (mana/gem), and in doing so some cards get a benefit for being used as a resource having an added effect for being Reforged. Maybe if they applied star levels to the spells as well (discard/sacrifice spells/traps to cast/set spell of choice).

The game was fun when it had a resource system. When to summon better monster you need to have weaker monsters. Now there are just too many affects and types that you don’t need to tribute or anything like that

I never knew that I needed a ygo themed chubbyemu video till now.

Been playing Pokémon tcg recently “I’m a yugioh player” and I would say that the energy isn’t wat slows down the game state at least not anymore it used to be that you can only attach 1 energy per turn from hand thus making it like 2-3 turns till ur able to attack but nowadays you have stuff like Charizard which wen summoned he automatically attaches 3 energy to himself wen he only needs 2 for his attack you could also just attach to any other pokemon instead

The part that slows down the game is evolution because you need to wait a turn to do so and you need either a rare candy to skip the middle evolution and go from basic stage 1 “charmander” to straight up Charizard so you have to wait a turn AND find ur combo pieces to evolve then ur cooking and u can just start swinging away if ur opponent hasn’t setup turn 2 it’s GGs it’s actually very much like yugioh where a winner is decided very early on unless both players setup field turn 2 then it gets interesting

Always amuses me seeing YGO players talk about a lack of resources problem and how it affects the overall flow of the game, & compare it to something like MTG. Ive only been out a few years, but all my experiences with MTG as far as any kind of competitive play goes is "turn 1, i set up a massive flood engine with 0 resources, and then i tribute half of them to kill you directly, and i save the other half to kill you directly just in case you manage to do anything about the first wave." Its literally an apples and oranges deal from my perspective, which is why I've never declared 1 better over the other. Just different. To me it's more fun to set up and work off plays in YGO. Or at least, it used to be.

But coming from other games or Even the old way Yu-Gi-Oh used to play you'll be so frustrated and upset

Long combos are ok. Powerful boards are ok. Whats bad is the limited options of real disruption. Most traps oriented towards disruption nowadays are unplayable trash because they're too slow. Make more traps as fast and easy to use as Imperm or Ash (not a trap, but works as one). Make more quick-play spells like Book of Moon, capable of disrupting a play mid-combo by negating one monster effect.

Imo if you’re gonna do something like that you may as well limit the number of actions each player can take per turn instead. Putting people on a timer just makes it a blitz game mode and that’s highly stressful instead of fun for many players.

What killed yugioh, idk maybe the, standby phase to opponent, 50 chain effects, main phase 1, back to opponent 50 chain effects, battle phase, opponent 50 chain effects, end phase opponent needs another 50 chain effects. Opponents turn takes 45 mins to put out two cards and to finish just the first main phase.

Yugioh didt really need a resource system back in the day as they were the more slow paced game even compared to magic Monster effects and spell effects not generally leading one another was a main reason

These turns be too long this really kills the game, its like you are watching a duel instead of being in it

I think the only card game to got the OPT/HOPT part done RIGHT is Cardfight Vanguard. But thats mainly due to the fact that the card layout is more modern and allows for symbols/special reminder text boxes within the frame (or lack there of, due to the b-e-a-utiful idea that is full art cards). No longer did you have to waste precious space on a small card to fit the same line on literally 90% of cards since 2010. Hell, Yugioh FINALLY ripped another page out of MTG again, and replaced common game actions with a SINGLE WORD, or, KEYWORD. Example being Piercing (Trample from MTG, literally)

This is the second video that I watched that talks about a possible solution by adding a resource system to the game.

Man this guy really hates blackwings

I personally just hate how much I see the same cards. When i first started playing yugioh master duel, i figured i would at least 20 different decks/cards. I shouldn't see barronne in a random blue-eyes deck or dark magician. Or see thousands of kashtira in just multiple decks. Or the 20min wait for a maxx c or ash. "I have to read your card to know if i want to use my ash or infinite." But just like any other pvp, people just use the same basic thing just because it's broken in one way or another.
