A little late but Master Duel brought me back to this game. I love playing the god cards and Blue Eyes. Amazing intro. In my opinion after learning how to use synchros links and XYZ monsters is not too bad. The bad things are waiting 20 minutes for your turn, your opponent making a negate board, and how some cards just recycle over and over. I made a Dino and Swordsoul deck to compete in the little tournaments but I go back to my egyptian god card deck and Blue Eyes deck on the ladder.

3 minutes at most for the most combo heavy decks but yeah. It’s really agitating not waiting all that time but the fact it introduces so many cards that you need I know the effects of or risk triggering an effect that will counter you.

Fair points, however, Pendulum Effect: You can remove 6 Spell Counters from your field; Special Summon this card from the Pendulum Zone, then count the number of cards you control that can have a Spell Counter, destroy up to that many cards on the field, and if you do, place Spell Counters on this card equal to the number of cards destroyed. You can only use this effect of "Endymion, the Mighty Master of Magic" once per turn. Monster Effect: Once per turn, when a Spell/Trap Card or effect is activated (Quick Effect): You can return 1 card you control with a Spell Counter to the hand, and if you do, negate the activation, and if you do that, destroy it. Then, you can place the same number of Spell Counters on this card that the returned card had. While this card has a Spell Counter, your opponent cannot target it with card effects, also it cannot be destroyed by your opponent's card effects. When this card with a Spell Counter is destroyed by battle: You can add 1 Normal Spell from your Deck to your hand.

Another censorship in the manga was when Joey (or Jounouchi) fought a Bruce Lee wannabe guy.

Tbf it’s genuinely the most complicated extra deck function, not to mention it’s practically the only one that still has to pay attention to the extra monster zones other than links after MR5. Just about every other extra deck monster is conceptually just a fusion with different specific requirements to bring it out. Pendulums start as main deck, have multiple functions as both spells and monsters, have scales to pendulum summon, don’t go to the GY when destroyed or taken off the field, go face up in the extra deck, and can THEN in turn be themselves pendulum summoned. There is no single other monster card type in ygo with that many rules that make it feel so different from how like any other card type plays. I’m not knocking pendulums, I appreciate the place they hold in the tcg, but you can’t act like they aren’t the most weirdly contrarian summoning mechanic/card type in the game.

It breaks a lot of rules that have been followed by every other summoning type. You can pendulum summon without actually summoning any pendulum monsters, you can just do that with normal monsters. I can't Synchro summon a random card from my hand, there are special cards for that. When pendulum cards are destroyed they're sent face up to the extra deck? That's 2 entirely new things. One is face up extra deck, and two is not going to the graveyard naturally. This isn't like cards with an extra effect that say, "If this card is destroyed it is banished instead." They just go to your extra deck for whatever reason and if your opponent doesn't have any backrow destruction they can keep coming back over and over. It's just so opposite of literally every other monster type in the entire game.

I honestly think archetypes are an amazing design choice. Here's why: For example If you play against "Scrap" one of my favourite archetypes you will realise that all of their monsters have effects that are triggered when they are destroyed by card effects (to summon more scrap, destroy enemy monsters and so on). As a result of that you don't necessarily have to read every single word on their cards to understand that trying to destroy them by card effect is a bad idea and instead you should focus on things like battle destruction or banishing. This also improves immersion when an archetypes visual design matches their playstyle. In teems of Scrap it makes sense that in order to get rid of junk and trash you have to get your hands dirty or it will just recycle and multiply until it overwhelms you. Other examples would be Archetypes like Eldlich (Monsters created from material by an almighty overlord), Plunderpatroll (a pirat crew that consists of ships and captains that equip themselves) or Madolche (they disappear back into the deck to symbolise the fact that they are actually just dolls that dissappear into the toy box when out of sight). Overall, archetypes help simplify the game by giving you an idea of a playstyle, and they improve visual consistency within a deck, and they pump up immersion for potential character roleplay.

Arguably the best story arc in Act-Ih-Oh was when Actman had to save his monetization in a shadow game, I just loved the part when he was teaching Leon Dual Monsters.

I've always like the concept of arch types because it improved balancing to a degree and provided really nice consistency. The cards didn't feel randomly thrown together. But I agree that it made pack openings much worse. So I either ended up buying structure decks and added cards from packs to it if they would fit or decided on cards drawn from a pack to build a deck around it, potentially even buying specific cards online.

@The Game Тheorists shorts 🅥 words cannot express how sad you are. Even if you are just a bot

I loved playing draft / sealed, where you basically bought 5 boosters on release and played a tournament with 20 card decks from the 45 you drew from those boosters. You had super-clunky decks that were really fun to use and any type of boss monster was your way to victory if you could summon it. Went to one a week ago and 25 out of the 45 I drew were *literally* unplayable. As in - they were searchers for cards that weren't even in the pack or required you to have a card on the field that wasn't in the deck or were ritual monsters that you couldn't even summon because their ritual fodder had to be specific. And, well, instead of awarding boosters to winners they have given out 2 playmats total. Which is pathetic compared to the box of boosters that would be distributed between good players before for free.

Fun Fact! The reason that it became centered around the card game instead of the random games of chance is because when it was first introduced in the manga, Duel Monsters (or at least the beta version of it) was so popular that people began to write to the mangaka, Kazuki Takahashi, asking him how to play and where to get the cards. After seeing its popularity, Takahashi decided to make the whole show and manga revolve around the card game

@Medbread

Жыл бұрын

Side note, he was actually pressured by his editors to move it towards the card game. He himself was always hesitant on it. Takahashi loves games of all kind. Just whatever wacky game ideas he could come up with. That was his passion. That's why the rules of Duel Monsters were so weird in the first season. He tried to imbue the card game with mechanics from other types of board games. That's why he included Dungeon Dice Monsters for a few episodes as well. And it's also why the last arc of the Yu-Gi-Oh anime/manga had nothing to do with the card game, and was a 1v1 Dungeons and Dragons style tabletop game recounting the events of Atem's life between Bakura and Atem. I think there's also a bit of sad parallels between Kaiba, Yugi, and Takahashi. In the Dark Side of Dimensions film, Duel Monsters has gotten so big that it's all anyone cares about anymore. Kaiba continues to push it further onto people with new marketing campaigns designed around more and more high tech ways of playing (Similar to all the new game mechanics Konami started introducing). Yugi (Takahashi) meanwhile, while Atem (the Yu-Gi-Oh manga) and Duel Monsters (The card game) will always be in his heart, he's graduating soon, and dreams of developing new exciting games of all kinds for people to play. He leaves Joey the future of "King of Games" because that was never his goal. He never cared about the title, and only dueled because he had to, or just to have fun with his friends. But, with Duel Monsters being so popular, it's all but guaranteed that Yugi's games will never be more than something people play once and then forget about. Just as we saw with Duke Devlin's Dungeon Dice Monsters game.

Fun fact about Duelist Kingdom. The reason the rules are seemingly so arbitrary, is because Takahashi was basing it off of an old card game he played as a kid called Monster Collection which had things like flying monsters, magical vs physical attacks, land/field bonuses and more.

I’m pretty sure it was also because he hadn’t yet figured out the rules for Duel Monsters as a game, since at the time the manga was in that arc, the OCG was being played with the rules in the manga.

Returning to Yugioh with Master Duel definitely helped out because I didn't have to know the specific rulings cuz it just happens and you can learn from your mistakes/misunderstandings by reading the cards and searching online afterwards. Probably won't be playing the paper format anytime soon cuz of that reason. I think the cards in the OCG are much easier to understand with the numbering of the effects and the once per turn things at the top.

You know it discards as cost which would make dangers go off but not dark worlds, then it sends as effect but does not target or destroy meaning your opponent does not have a chance to reposition a monster or something to avoid it outside of making it leave the field, and it gets past destruction protection. Lets compare it to something like magic, if something has banding, afterlife, menace, or reach.

He must just not have known right? I don't think it was big news. I mean he did a tribute for the actor who played Hagrid, but that was on the news.

The funny thing is, most of the cards he had a problem with are like that because they were in the anime. The car monster “roid” archetype was a deck from GX, the second Yugioh anime, “D/D/D” is from Arc-V, and “@ignister” is from vrains. When you look at recent non-anime decks (like Despia which are demons from a different dimension possessing the bodies of a different archetype, Dogmatika, or Spright, which are dripped out lighting guys) things get a lot cooler. One thing of note as to why the text got longer was because Yugioh actually tried to make itself simpler. This required specific card text (PSCT) to clear up any confusion. It also made things longer because now there was a standardized way every effect had to be written. There is a way to make PSCT a lot shorter and still work (they literally did it for Yugioh Rush Duels) but time will tell if they ever decide to fix it in the modern game

I returned to yugioh (master duel) after 10 years off, and just like you said. If my opponents going first and I dont open with hand traps, I'll literally get up and go do something else and come back 10 mins later when my opponents done; and if they have an unbreakable board, just quit and search again.

Don't forget the God's theme. The original Japanese version was fine, but 4Kid's version of the Egyptian god summons...FUCKING CHILLS.

My guy really called agents a combo heavy powercreep deck.😂

But I think that illustrates his point. The game is so powercrept that overpowered in one year is garbage the next.

@@periklisperperis6868 nobody cares about modern Yugioh. I go to 8 game shops in 2 states and they no longer host Yugioh events, rarely carry the product, and no one plays it. My Hero and Flesh and Blood get more attention than Yugioh does, and they’re considered Niche compared to MTG.

Because agents are and the fact that modern yugioh players think its not anymore shows how the game is in an even worse state than act man thinks it is.

Honestly, that's why I started playing Magic and haven't looked back since. Once synchros made my Six Samurai irrelevant, I switched. I know Magic has its own issues, but at least it has multiple formats, and an absolute blast of a 4 player format called commander that keeps me playing every week.

Six sams have their own synchro and literally still didn't stop being good when synchros came out. Also, Magic is just as bad at balancing. The fact that a fanmade format is the most popular over the regular formats shows that.

@Benoit Brown Y'all really be putting words in my mouth, but not surprising considering y'all apparently can't read. I stopped playing a month after Stardust Dragon came out in 2008. The first "Six Sam" lists with synchros started showing up in 2011. Can y'all count or do I have to explain that too? I had no interest in synchros at all, that was the first of apparently multiple times now it became a whole different game. Hence why I put "Six Sams" in quotes because it became apparent to me that they just used a collection of the best synchros in their ED to win. Like every other deck. And not a single one had that Six Samurai synchro. To me, that isn't a Six Samurai deck, it's just another synchro deck. Considering the amount of text in modern YGO cards y'all YGO players should be considerably more literate.

@Benoit Brown You should probably get your vision checked. Because all you're doing is absolutely not reading what I wrote. Is English not your first language? I also don't appreciate you purposely misinterpreting what I'm saying to better suit your impression of me. So far everything I've said can be backed by fact, whether you like it or not, not my problem.

The runescape music in the background @ like 10 min sent me lmao

I've already re-watched this video like 5 times, but the intro is already an uncountable amount. This is a masterfully crafted video. Great job Act!

archetypes are cool, synergy is fun but the problem is the WHOLE deck becomes worthless when the powercreep hits

First off, I really like the intro 🤣 And, I like modern YGO. I'm not a huge fan of archetypes for the reasons you give, but at the same time the number of archetypes and mechanics makes the game more varied. This means that you will never have the same game, unless it's a mirror match, therefore the decisions you make against X deck will not be the same ones you make against Y deck. Regarding the text of the cards, it's a necessary evil. Before, you couldn't know if something targeted or if it was a cost. PSCT was truly a blessing. Now, excuse me, I'm going to invest in the cardboard industry 🤑

Loved yugioh since I was 11, 20 years later it’s so confusing. I play the app duel Links and they got some decent tutorials but I really just stick to my blue eyes deck.

If you have any kind of gaming console then try Master Duel. It teaches you about other summoning mechanics and a bit about different decks and what they do
