yhea that is pretty much how modern YuGiOh works

Truthfully, that's when you know a game is trash. Needs to be reworked from scratch.

That is the optimal way to win in card games.

@@ryuaga I feel if it wasn't for Duel Links actually being playable, it probably would. Rush duel seems to literally exist for that reason too. They have to pretty much ban half of the cards playable, but lately they keep introducing new power creep decks that exist for the sole purpose of getting whales to dump on them for local tournaments and resell value, only to then ban the key combo pieces to make the game actually playable again until the next wave of cards repeats that. Like Zoodiacs, Spyrals, Sprights, Halcyfibrax, Tearlaments (arguably the worst offender as it seemed to be designed to be an OP deck due to the lack of counterplay as it's a mill strategy), and now the purrely (though at least they're adorable). and every deck list is built entirely around how to beat the current meta deck rather than strategy.

And it worked.

That's what i say,when someone tells me "It literally cost $0 dollars to not say the N word"

@@williamdrum9899 Just like Ring of Magnetism, an equip spell card when paired with the right monster cards, can create devastating results. Sonic Chick is one such annoying combination, even moreso in a 2-v-2 match when you and a friend could just gang up on one opponent at a goodwill of all places.

I think it's one of the "experiment" card. A "what if we made this kind of card"

Ehh. In Yu GI oh, you don't want to put multiple functions like that, because you will lose speed. You have a self destruct button, but now your deck is much more likely to jam. Specially because to use it well, you will need other cards to help it. The card is just dumb

Any card that's basically its own win condition (or I guess draw condition in this case) risks going this route.

Inspection? Inspection? Inspection? Inspection? Inspection. Inspection. Inspection!

It shouldnt even be considered for a ban. A single MST stops the whole thing. Its your own fault as a duelist if you dont tech for rougue decks or stall. Otherwise why wouldnt you just ban everything that isnt meta

Pretty much. Magical Scientist FTK was in 2003. The game was always a mess.

The difference is, the brokenness really only appeared in more competitive settings or with abnormally gimmicky decks, but the average casual matchup was much more laid back than that of the modern age by miles

@@codyhanson1344while I do agree modern decks and archetypes are more geared towards the fast competitive style of play if you are playing casually you can also play a different format. Or discuss with who you’re playing with to keep the power level lower as to make the game more interactive for both of you. It’s not as if you are forced to use the best decks. But I do agree overall that the power level of modern decks is wacky.

The deck is banned easily... you can force the draws anymore without the self destruct button...

I used Last Turn deck for a few months before they banned it. I pissed off sooo many people 🤣. Someone managed to get rid of all my Jowgens but didn't expect that I also had a Theban Nightmare :)

@@jamesmorgan704 the first time I played against it, was when upperdeck took over and suddenly all us American cards were legal even those from packs that were not available in EU

I remember trying Final in the Button deck and couldn't get past turn 15 consistently 😢(think it was ppl running Solemns would end up negating the last Waboku/Roar for lethal or endphase MST/DT)

Cuz it's funny. Just make a multi-tie situation loss, that way even if you lose you can waste people's time while they know they won't see you in loser's lol

The basic idea is not that weird. Self-Destruct Button's activation requirement makes pretty clear what it was intended for. To reset a game you are about to lose hard. Card designers just did not realise how abusable it would be in a tournament setting. Admittedly, I got the impression that back then they were mostly still designing for the playground, not the competitive game.

Mazew's basically right. There are a LOT of cards from the early era that are banned for how abusable they are now. ex: that look at hand card had no usage limit. Now, imagine if you could do that with say... pot of duality or card trader (card trader would become an infinite search engine...)

The card in a vacuum is fine. You have to purposely let your opponent deal anywhere between 7k to 7.9k damage to activate it. That's a risky gamble just to draw. So the counter play is already built into the card because you have to be losing BADLY to even meet the conditions to activate. But I refer to this story as what happens when the card isn't in a vacuum. It was an over sight. The card is trash, it's just terrible for tournament play.

We have one or two cards that can do it still, and a few that can do it even though that wasn't why they were made. Cubic Crimson Nova burns both players for 3k at the same exact time, so if the opponent has 3 out it forces a draw at his end phase. Most cards that hit both players like Ring of Destruction hit one player first now but Crimson Nova hits both, I saw a game 8 at locals once before the new time rules kicked in.

Sounds like yugioh's philosophy for the last decade. The only difference is what flavor you use. If you use monsters to keep your opponent from playing the game, then everyone's happy. But if you use spells and traps to do it, then suddenly you're a monster and toxic and yadda yadda yadda.

@@NovusIgnis XD I think its because in theory we all use monsters, you might beable to fight it out? All I know is this would make me slap as many spell and trap wipers into my deck as possible.

​@@NovusIgnisNo one cares about using spells and traps. People didn't hate Sky Strikers because it focused on using spell cards. The issue with the spells and traps you're trying to paint in a good light is that they're floodgates, which are arguably worse than negate boards.

@@HowlingDoom No, people are *very* much against spells and traps as a whole. They don't hate Sky Strikers because it sitll isn't a spell/trap deck, it just happens to use spells more than other decks and those spells don't require removal options. People *hate* floodgates because they can't tolerate running backrow removal in their deck like they're supposed to instead of their deck of 39 monsters and one field spell. I've played against floodgates before and never had a problem dealing with them because I run backrow removal in my deck in various different forms.

@@NovusIgnis I was gonna make a lengthy reply but honestly your statement about Sky Strikers alone just proves you have literally no idea what your talking about. Ah yes Sky Strikers, the deck who's whole gimmick and power comes from their spells, isn't a spell deck. Next you're gonna tell me Labyrthn isn't a trap focused deck. Also the whole "just take back row clearing cards" is another case of someone who doesn't know what they're talking about. People who make this point seem to only think in a vacuum and fail to consider the fact that an opponent will not let you just clear their back row or the fact that just about every back row clearing option is unsearchable and thus reliant on luck to draw into. Yes you can beat floodgate decks, just like you can beat negation board decks. These do not mean they are good for the game. If you have an issue with negation boards you should have an issue with floodgates as they are two sides of the same coin.

Yugioh has the same rule about decking out. There’s even a dedicated deck out “archetype” of spell cards called Runicks that each does an effect then banishes the top X number of cards from an opponent’s deck.

if no cards in deck in ygo u lose.

Dude. That and Localized Tornado in Duel Links...

The anime features multiple cards that let the game continue after 0 LP. But none of them exist in the real game - they logically can't, because the rules of the game dictate that the duel is OVER at 0 LP, and no effects or conditions can activate after that point as a result.

​@@MrJoeyWheeler they could if the effect existed. MTG does have cards that prevent you from losing the game outright as a continuous effect, so you have to remove that card in order to allow the opponent to lose.

​@@MrJoeyWheelereffects on a card override the main rules in case of a conflict, still possible.

@@MrJoeyWheeler Of course they could make cards that overwrite this rule. Like how Exodia is an alternate win condition. But they probably never bothered, because cards like these would only ever be abused instead of actually having a worthwhile effect on the outcome of a game (I mean, just look at Exodia, where the whole point of their decks was just that you make a deck where you can draw every card in one turn).

*Magical Explosion* baby 🥰 (same meme but actually good)

Summon Limit was only banned on the latest April 2024 banlist. This means you lost to blue-eyes in the year of our lord 2024 during peak snake-eyes format.

Ultimately, "dems da rules", and if you play, you agreed to, and abide by those rules (well, most of us, anyway). If you're not mentally prepared for the possibility of something clearly outlined in the structure of the game, and if you're not actively exploiting every rule you can, to your benefit, are you even really playing the game? One of the reasons I'm pretty sure I'll never play competitive *anything*, though, is because of stories like this. I watched a video of a Pokemon VG match, and the other player just needed one more turn to get a guaranteed victory... but the turn player had more time on their turn clock than there was in the game clock, so they slow played/feigned "thinking", the judges didn't call him on it, and he won - and the girl across the table looked absolutely crushed, being the better trainer, but losing on a technicality & due to poor sportsmanship of her opponent. The whole time, she's sitting there, staring off into the crowd, just despair on her face because she knew he was running down the clock. And it's just, like... Nah. Life is *too short* to put up with bullshit like that. I'd rather read a book or something, then find myself feeling that, having paid an entry fee, and spent any amount of time actually trying to do well. If I'm going to play something to try to win, it had better be something in which I'm 100% allowed to show my full capacity/skill, with no arbitrary time limit, etc. (I get why time limits exist though - people want to go home eventually/the tournament has to end by the end of the day on Sunday, etc.)

Not the worst move, but can’t imagine Mero couldn’t just concede the following game and things continue as usual. Or the opponent doesn’t get the out and just outright loses the match

The opponent conceding is a big risk for almost no payoff. If they concede, then win the next game, the match is still only 1-1 and nothing has changed. If the player conceding doesn't win, they're in the precarious situation of actually being down a point against this strategy. They get another chance to go first every time they fail to stop the strategy, but the best they can ever hope for is to tie the game up and go back to the self destruct player going first.

@@jotarokujo3603 I know Yu-Gi-Oh!, I play it too, but the thing is, if their deck has such a high consistency that they cannot brick, when it was already harder to brick back then due to slower gameplay given the cards at the time and you watch them get a draw every single time until timeout, then you know you might as well go for next round.

pfft, imagine using it with winged dragon of ra? XD easy summon condition and unless the opponent has a hard negate (which was not that common back then), you could pretty much always hit it.

Amazing how playing the game can be poor sportsmanship…

And that’s what it is, you aren’t there to play the game, you are there to waste people’s time

Stall is not wasting your time, you can concede at any point. You're wasting my time by not conceding actually. 😂

these were actually 2 german judges who were fed up by not having a deck limit and as history told us they succeded XD they got asked politely to leave the turnament after the first or second game and agreed isntantly only for the deck limit to be implemented immeadiatly after that tournament XD

This

MST was limited at that time. The chance to open that one MST is 15% (assuming a 40 card deck). Drawing exactly one MST over the course of the match (which he did game 1) is a 38% chance, two or more is a 34% chance. This "strategy" only has a 1/3 chance of working if your opponent doesn't make a mistake (or doesn't run a MST for whatever reason) and it gets almost cut in half if you factor in that it's pretty much necessary to go first.

@@tripple-a6031I don’t know the decklist, but I wonder if it played multiple Inspection or copies of Wall of Revealing Light. Putting two Inspection on the board could be insurance against MST, and Wall of Revealing Light can’t be stopped by MST because it pays LP as a cost for activation.

@@vaporeonice3146 You are right, though Wall of Revealing Light was also limited at that time.

Honestly I thought it was older than that, but then again years feel like weeks to me.

Magic decks are that expensive? 😮

@@just_2swift It depends on the format. If it's a deck with only the last year or two of card releases, then between $100-$500 is a good estimate. If it is a format that allows all but the oldest cards, then $500 to $1000 is a good estimate. If you're playing a game where all legal cards are allowed, then the deck costs is easily thousands. This is due to some older cards being legal, but being on a list that the publisher (WotC) has promised never to print again to make collectors happy, who want to use these older play pieces as an investment.
