That phrase couldn't have been use any better than these! I just felt so so so Bad that the time i discovered the game, its already dead....(2007)

Ironically its the number #1 tgc in japan even beating out yu gi oh most of the time

If by waljed with a helmet on to make simple games with no depth then sure

@Oligoden yes. Even bigger than pokemon and yugioh.

@Oligoden MTG has always been weak in Japan, pretty much being confined to university students (albeit they're trying to change that).

Duel Masters inspired MANY games

Its similarities to Duel Masters is what sold a lot of people on the idea of the new game in the months prior to release in Japan last year.

Digimon TCG 2020 is basically classic Duelmasters' true successor.

@@bryanmerel actually it was Chrono Clash System before since one of the designers from that game was also involved with Duel Masters ... and since Bandai holds the license to most of the IPs they used ... well yeah it evolved to Digimon

@@Zanji1234 Tbh the only thing it really borrows from chrono clash is the memory gauge.

Though, Kohdok explained in a very simple way, why it's so beautiful.

I mean you can still play online

Do you also play Duel Masters Play's?

@@BramLastname I hear there is no English translation of the game, so no, I haven't tried it.

@@katshuma that is true, It's kinda difficult playing in Japanese, But it's a challenge I'm willing to try.

you from India?

you need to get out more

@@goncaloferreira6429 nah

VFD got banned But buster lock is back

Synchro Solitaire has entered the chat. I also only play yu-gi-oh. It's complicated and expensive enough by itself lmao

@@eririspencersawamura5291 Buster Lovk isn't back - Nobody uses it. The exabeetle buster lock is literal garbage

Hey man now that you know you can focus on what makes your game unique! That list of other card games shows that you can take a lot of inspiration from somewhere without being a clone! Good luck!

There are a lot of card game tropes. By knowing them, you can incorporate what you like best about all of your favorite games into yours, while adding in your own unique aspects.

@@paperpersona1243 Thanks for the inspiration

@@Stinkoman87 Yea so right now my biggest pulls are from Yugioh, Pokemon tcg, and apparently Duel Masters lol. It uses a evolution system like Pokemon, has the pacing of duel links Yugioh, and a shield system similar to Duel Masters.

@@redhood5264 That sounds pretty cool actually

Yes, I still have a lot of cards, even that Magic is far superior than Duel masters, or even every other tcg game, I still love duel masters more than Magic.

Same, DM was the best. Even the GB game was incredible fun.

in my country DM is the reason yu gi oh didn't get the popularity..

It's hilarious, I keep rewatching it to this day

How did you get paid 4 and a half boxes? Did they just give you 18 boosters?

@@retronymph Correct.

Yeah, for the longest time and when i was young i assumed Duel Masters was simply some other companies Parody series of Yugioh, what with the whole focus on the characters 'zany hair' and the episodes i had seen. I figured the Card game would have followed the same thing and been a fast and loose parody of Yugioh own card mechanics.

@@njrk97 yup, I always thought "duel mas-err monsters" and the show, like bakugan is aimed at WAY too young of an audience to get any traction, yugioh and the pokemon games appealed to teens. When duel masters came out even my autistic ass thought it looked way too childish.

@@Burger_pants the pokemon TCG is the most laid friendly of them all

I was too old and had been playing magic for 4 years by that point it was a simple childlike game imo and the show was awful

I really thought the game was really really good

I heard that not long ago they added a broken Gacha system to the game.

@@ShadowEclipex They discontinued that mechanic last year

Japanese Duel Masters threw all sense of game balance off the window, unfortunately.

@@bryanmerel Yeah I've heard that a lot of Japanese players got into Duel Masters Plays because it starts back when the game was more simple and less broken. Similar to why Duel Links got popular.

@@elijahdavila3684 As someone who plays Duel Masters Play's quite regularly, I can say that the fact that they're still on a total of 8 card sets (The Japanese one got into the triple digits years ago) Is the biggest blessing a Duel Masters fan can have. Japan has some crazy cards, And a bunch of mechanics that I honestly don't want to deal with, But Duel Masters Play's allows people to play with updated versions of the first 8 sets, With 2 different metas. And very simple but satisfying animations.

Where/how do you play? Do you use Duel master play's?

@@tonysharmagmail DMP is currently only available in Japan. However there are apps (like QooApp) to help bypass region restrictions. There are a handful of guides online including one on our channel.

It certainly is a sin (if the errata changes fundamentally how the card works) but does kinda require the game to have a long lifespan enough to get reprints of cards with an errata. Yugioh has a lot of erratas but most of them are for PSCT which makes the cards easier to understand. Nerfing cards as old as Imperial Order to as new as Firewall Dragon is more uncommon and often just kills a strong card's legacy.

@@Zetact_ Never understood the concept of nerfing a card through an errata. Why ruin a powerful card that could otherwise potentially be made legal again one day? Would it really be that difficult to just print a retrain of the card instead?

@@aurafox1 Pretty much just for nostalgia. I'm primarily familiar with Yugioh but a lot of the times the errata nerfs go to really iconic cards. In some instances they keep the general idea of the card the same but nerf it to prevent super easy FTKs/OTKs. Catapult Turtle being made OPT, Dark Strike Fighter being made HOPT, Exchange of the Spirit requiring both players GY to be 15 or more cards. In some cases the nerf is meant to keep the "intention" of the card intact but slightly alter it to make it less abusable. DMoC adding during the End Phase. Ring of Destruction making you take the burn damage first as well as the huge mechanical changes that prevent it from being essentially a free extra direct attack. Future Fusion being made into a more risky play instead of just a free dump from the deck. That kind of thing. In one instance (Crush Card Virus) I'm fairly certain they nerfed it solely because the printing of the Legendary Dragons cards made Doom Virus Dragon, which required Crush Card to be summoned (and has the old effect unchanged). Firewall Dragon is the most recent card to get an errata and it's actually a strange case because it was one of the big cards used to market Vrains which is probably the only reason it was even allowed that much. But also that pretty much everyone agrees that the original effect was so broken it's a miracle that it even got printed like that (I think some even believe that it was deliberately made so to push Link Summoning faster) and the new effect is pretty much what it SHOULD have had all along. There certainly are reasons why a designer might want to errata a card, but with the nature of card games it is silly that people would choose to slap the power of an existing card over the option that could result in selling more cards.

@@Zetact_ I suppose it's kind of like nerfing a video game character with an update, but in a game that already has a system to ban cards and such and so many retrains already, I'm really not sure I see the value in changing what's been printed before other than for clarity or grammar. I could agree with the nostalgia aspect, but then you also have retrains of nostalgic cards like Blue-Eyes Alternative Dragon that get just as much, if not more, attention. I would think something like a nerfed retrain of DMoC or CD would get just as much attention.

Duel masters really needs a remake /reboot here in the west so that all the people can enjoy the bliss of this beautiful card game alternative a breath of fresh air

I still have my duel master halo card you use to show at tournament when you sign up for their news letter.

Up to these day, i still argue that Duel Masters has the best, most unique art design Theme, Concepts, and Eisthetics of all Card Games. The mythos of the Creature world is just Brilliant!

Maybe in cardshops it was seen as baby magic. But at my middle school in 2004, none of us yugioh/pokemon fans even talked about MTG, let alone played it. I'm so serious. We just thought Duel Masters was a yugioh parody based on how the anime was.

@@duane_313 that’s hilarious, yeah I’m speaking from a card shop perspective. But that’s super funny knowing that now.

The anime dub (which I thought was funny) the a lot of kids off.

@@duane_313 exactly. The TV show killed this game before it had a chance for many people. I played it and enjoyed it. But after the first set I was done.

Unfortunately a trend that seems to still be pretty common in TCG circles, as seen by the YuGiOh players who throw similar labels on Rush Duels.

I dont play yugioh. Can i get some explanation? Is it like how there used to be interrupts in magic or split second perhaps? Quite curious.

@@oscarguzman3017 basically each card type has a dedicated Spell Speed indicating its priority and what it can react to. You can only counter a card with a card that has at least the same Spell Speed or higher. "Spell Speed" is a general term for every card with an effect, not only spell cards (so traps and effect monsters also have a Spell Speed). -Spell Speed 1 are for most monster effects and most spell cards effects. -Spell Speed 2 are for most trap cards, "Quick Play"-type spell cards and monster effects that specifically indicate " Quick Effect" -Spell Speed 3 is mostly for "Counter"-type trap cards. -Spell Speed 4 doesn't officially exists, but it refers to cards that cannot be responded to (because the effect specifically says so, mostly). So while it's true that you cannot counter these with a Spell Speed 3 card (meaning it technically has priority over SS3), you cannot counter a Spell Speed 3 card with another card just because it cannot be negated either. So some player will rather call them Spell Speed 2.5. Spell Speed 4 is a very misleading term that many player still use. I hope this was understandable, YGO is a very complex game aha.

@@JM-vl3cy Wild. I agreed that magic was pretty complicated with instant speed and the stack but i guess yugioh is just cracked.

@@oscarguzman3017 lol and that's just the tip of the iceberg, at least all the Spell Speed thing (aside of SS4 for obvious reasons) is in the rulebook. Cuz 80% of what you need in YGO is not in the rulebook. That's how absurdly specific the rulings get. It's by far the most complex and over the top TCG out there, but that's also one of the many things that make it unique.

@@oscarguzman3017 It's not as crazy as it sounds, it's just different. When games are around for a long time, they get complicated. I would probably say that magic's basic rules can be more intuitive than yugioh's.

Yeah if the dub wasnt such a parody like the yugioh one (although it was really funny) it wouldve actually achieved some success in america Duel masters is the #1 card game in japan for a reason

@@kaiser1963 Wait, is it really #1??? I understood it is popular there, but #1 seems a little much :O .

@@Colorado0091 it was number one for a few years i think but i believe it no longer is.

@@Colorado0091 Both yu gi oh and duel masters constantly take the #1 #2 spot in Japan with 20 plus million cards sold every year Duel masters has always been a staple in Japan.

@@kaiser1963 Okay thank you for the info :)

Too bad there's no english sub for the anime.

@@shawnjavery Yeah, I really wish there was - the episodes that come out on KZfaq are all raw 😭

eyyy i was about to send this video to you xD

@@silentkingsubject Nice xD

How are you playing currently? I want to play again but with newer cards

I saw a documentary about pokemon tcg ages ago and they talked to someone from WOTC who said they mostly just handled production, everything was already made in japan so WOTC was mostly handling what became the sanctioned tournaments and really pushed Nintendo and game freaks to embrace supporting sanctioned play in the west, the game may have never been more than a fad if WOTC didn't set the groundwork for competitive play which has kept the game alive.

Pktcgradio has a series of breakdowns of each set and how they affected the game and meta at the time

Huh, I didn't know that they changed that term. Good to know lol

Lol fuck that it's cmc

New terminology takes time to become ingrained. You’ll still here people say EDH from time to time and I will never cease calling them RUG and BUG no matter how insistent wotc are about their clans.🤷‍♂️

@@hobobeard A LOT of people still say EDH. I mean the main deckbuilding aid site for the format is called EDHrec. It's safe to say that you're correct and that term isn't going anywhere.

yep, Kohdok we need to know!!

Well, its _always_ perilous to do that.

I don't really understand what you mean? Every card game has a limited amount of space for each type of card. Usually in pokemon, most decks usually only run 12-15 pokemon and 8-12 energy. The rest is supporters. Secondly, pokemon has so many search cards, draw cards, and discard interaction cards that one ofs are far less perilous than other card games.

For example, it doesn't matter if I only have one crobat v or one dedenne gx, because I usually run around 6-8 pokemon search cards and can get them whenever I want.

@@MaddyBird666 ...Unless it gets Prized. That's the point he's making.

@@Kohdok I can see how that can be a problem, but my one ofs in other card games also frequently get stuck at the bottom of my deck with no way for me to fetch it, or no real way to shuffle my deck, or even worse milled off the top.

It'll always be CMC

@@Gevaudan1471 Mana Value is a lot less wordy, I'll gladly take the change.

No, no more reboots. Just start printing current sets in English. We literally have another set dropping in December.

@@teamcrypticcore1883I feel like that would be too much of a huge jump for the U.S. audience considering the game is nearly 20 years old. The modern sets are much more complex than even the last sets released in English. I think they should print cards from older sets so it’s not such a huge difference right from the get go, and it can eventually catch up.

Maybe You could try my card game, it is inspired by duel masters ;)

Hey Artster, you got summoned here too i see

@@oshiokimun2647 is this cardgame hell?

Check out Kudou Kun ( kzfaq.info ) he's a small card game youtuber who does an entire series about the Naruto CCG with hour long episodes going through its history and meta, currently on set 6 as of around 5 months ago. Great for someone like me who never played it when it was still on going.

The Naruto CCG is unironically my favorite card game ever. So unique, so much fun.

I usually went with the most expensive card early game.

tbf there are effects that let you retrieve cards from mana

13:32 and also this Erayo card is very similar to a Twinpact cards in Duel Masters, it's a 2 up-and-bottom card types in 1 card and can be used as either one (mostly combination of Creature and Spell), even some iconic cards like Bolshack Dragon has its own Twinpact version : Bolshack Dragon/Duelist Charger. That means you can summon or put (by an effect) that Bolshack Dragon card as a creature into battle zone, or cast that Duelist Charger as spell. It's also works when you used certain searching effect like creature or spell searching

That’s a very interesting perspective on it!
