Shouts out to dire for showing off that actually, there's a TON of powerful negation and destruction in N/R format! After all - who could forget Gunkan Suship Ikura-Class Dreadnought?

don't worry, the Celtic Guardian Only Mode tweet was in fact actually that funny

Im a big fan of Louise format. Rules are simple: 1. 60 card deck 2. Only normal monsters are legal 3. First person to summon Beaver Warrior wins

My Yu-gi-oh career peaked during Master Duel N/R format when I used Cat Shark and Black Ship of Corn to out Seven Sins. I’ve been chasing that high ever since. Theme Chronicle came close.

I was literally crying laughing at the Celtic Guardian Only tweet

Memes aside, Duelist of the Roses was a fantastic game that I would totally play a remake of. 😍

Duellist of the roses was how I truly got into Yugioh as a kid and is probably one of my favourite games ever

Take a pile of 40 random monsters and try and line them up like domino pieces. They fit together if they're a small world bridge; i.e. if exactly one of the monster's level, type, attribute, ATK and DEF match.

back in the day (early GX) me and my cousin made out own format, both players started with 4000 and blasted a song in the background, if the song ends before someone wins the duel ends. this usually ended in my aunt yelling at us for being too loud or, being so hyper focused in the game we didnt realize the song ended 10 minutes ago

Legendary Collections are CRIMINALLY slept on drafting sets--you get all the staples and archetypes for a specific series like DM, GX, or 5DS and actually get a shot at pulling big extra deck bosses

I think one reason N/R was so good was because you could pivot at any time. No need to pull or count dust, just play any card you want. I think my favourite deck in that was Paleo Phantom Knights Cursed Javelin turbo.

The first yugioh experience i had was duelist of the roses and looking back its still the most fun i have had playing yugioh

Dark Duel Stories had an interesting take on the game where, aside from field spells going by how they worked in Duelist Kingdom, there were “type advantages” in which a monster with a certain attribute can destroy another monster even if it’s stats were weaker (you can have Jellyfish destroy Volcanic Queen since water beats fire). You could also summon extra deck and ritual monsters like regular monsters too and a lot of them had the Divine typing so they were immune to being destroyed by its type.

The playground Duelist Kingdom format reminds me of a fanfic I wanted to write that starts right after Yugi defeats Weevil the first time. The premise is that one of the tournament referees forces Weevil to turn over his cards, either because the value of Yugi’s deck far exceeds the value of the one star chip it was wagered in place of, or it is done on special instructions from Pegasus, who fears that Yugi will not be able to reach him to wager his puzzle against Solomon’s soul without Exodia. I have so many silly ideas for how Yugi and Joey’s decks would work after they’ve each added some of Weevil’s best cards. For example, Time Wizard would be able to force an early hatching of PUG Moth, or insect monsters could have an advantage against zombie because of their roles as decomposers, stripping powerful zombies down to feeble skeletons.

Duelist's of the Roses is so sick, one of my favorite games as a kid even if some of the mechanics are pretty trash. Would love to see a remake but I unfortunately doubt that it'll ever happen

Rebby took mbt up on his dare so hard that she banned herself from twitter! such an inspiration.

In pokemon tcg online there's a format where you can only play with starter decks. Honestly a lot of fun

We’ve started a Limit 1 format at our locals based on the Limit 1 event in master duel but using the TCG ban list. It’s been a lot of fun. Decks like Orcust Striker, Adventure PK Danger, Witchcrafter Branded, etc. it’s really fun.

I think my favorite player-created format is RJB0's Wave-Motion Yugioh. For me it sits in the sweet spot right in the middle of constructed vs limited formats.

The thumbnail made me think that this was the start of a new series where MBT would play through all the Yugioh video games. While that's not the case, I wouldn't mind seeing MBT play his through Nightmare Troubadour and the World Championship games for GBA and the DS.

Predaplant and Tenyi are equally as good as Lunalight in Common Charity and decks like HERO and Scrap have good match-ups versus some of those decks.

Dire's editing is always so entertaining

I have a couple of friends who decided to make their own format that they call "degeneracy." The deck size is well over 200 cards, it can hold about 6-8 players, everyone plays from the one deck, only 1 copy of each card, if a card says "your opponent" its applied to all other players. (Example: feather duster with destroy all other players spell/traps.), and if youre attacked directly you cannot be attacked by any other player till your next turn. Its rediculously hard, but extremely fun!

I would play celtic guardian format

Duelist of the Roses really needs to get a remake or remaster.

There’s a semi-new format a small group of people are trying out called “Domain Format”. It’s the best imagining of a 3-5+ player Yugioh format that I’ve seen. There are deckmasters and the rules are very well put together and I love how creative you have to be for majority of decks to work properly. If you’re interested in something like that, just lookup Domain format here on KZfaq. I fully plan on playing this format in the future with friends

I loved playing the N/R festival and running danger dark world with all the low rarity cards. I even made sure to include gokipole to search the mothmans lmao

Literally my favorite yugioh ever.. even my dad played roses. He still till this day doesn't even know yugioh is a real card game

Yugioh Falsebound Kingdom was a gem on GameCube. I remember me and my brother playing it FAITHFULLY to the point where we would play entire weekends

Ok but when is konami making real life action duels so yugioh players will be forced to actually go outside and exercise

I'll just leave a definition for an archetype if that's required for whatever reason An archetype is a list of cards, related to a string of text, that have at least one of these properties : - The string of text is included in the card's name - The string of text is included in the card's effect, between quotes The following restriction is applied to the string of text : There must exist a card mentioning the string of text in its effect, between quotes. (Just to ensure someone doesn't do the "e" archetype lol)

You know we need a junior journey progression series

The fact so many of these comments mention Duelist of the Roses shows it is an amazing game. Truly one of the most unique ways Yu-Gi-Oh can be played. Hopefully it will get a remake one day.

Gonna have to look for that duel of the roses format that was brought up. As I remember that game, and also my friends and I literally drawing out the 7x7 map and tried to make it work. It was so much fun compared to getting stomped at locals at that time.

I remember getting Duelist of the Roses as a kid on PS2 but it wasn’t the yugioh I was used to and didn’t know how to play chess at the time so I was very confused

so, lunalight is the best deck in common charity, but it really isn't far above other decks, the about 4 other meta decks (Predplant, Tenyi, HERO and scrap) as well as a bunch of rogue stuff (like gouki, melffy, lair of darkness or f.a.) can compete very well.

How can you be tired of Tearlament, such skilltesting and rewarding format where both players are playing the whole time

1v1v1v1 yugioh is some of the most fun I've had with the game, everyone has a great time arguing over the rulings and its utter chaos.

I’m suprise no one brought up Anime/Manga accurate decks duels format. Bin playing that for major of my time playing Yugioh

Celtic Guardian Only Mode was in fact the funniest thing I've read this month

Joseph getting the giggles was fantastic.

I swear if Konami ever made more Duelist of the Roses, I’d die happy I’ve been trying to brainstorm a new gimmicky format myself and so far the best I’ve come up with is “Totally not Cardfight Vanguard”

Honestly the part of these videos is seeing the MBT opening tittle card. Thanks Dire!

I still want DOTR 2. Maybe make it a prequel around the Hundred Years War? But the system they set up in that game is too good to only have one video game entry.

Celtic Guardian only mode also made me laugh for a few minutes

I still have duelist of the roses i love it its like yugioh chess 👌 i like going for the fairy king truedale or whatever his name is then if you get kairyushin and twin headed thunder dragon your stacked.

4:05 My man just invented Dungeon Dice Monsters

I would love to see a battle effects only format. I wonder how broken mirror force would be, haha.

Shout-out to EXU Extinction Unleashed, a custom card on dueling book that rocks imo

4:40 My server was referenced! and yeah it was fun watching the regression play-offs happen even though I never participated

Me and my friend combined yugioh and uno, we shared a 120 card deck, and it was a 60 card uno deck and two thirty card yugioh decks, both drawing a 5 card hand from that, then just going, it was vile

yo duelist of the roses slapped. the vs Lancastrians music goes HARD

Hydralander is a neat format to brew for. (Went to EDH when I moved to MTG) It would be interesting to see it spliced with other Formats; Hydralander-Common Charity, Hydralander-Edison, etc.

Celtic Guardian only mode? He's on to something here...

Also fire/water format is an amazing format, right before hat format introduced us to running engines which ruined the game with pendulums shortly there after

I wish they would just remaster Duelist of the Roses. That game was so much fun, the soundtrack was absolutely amazing too

Those edits at the start, Holly shit! 🔥

My personal favorite format is, well…the Battle Royale format introduced in Arc-V…which is semi-adapted to still allow for the Extra Monster Zones and Link shenanigans. Extra Linking doesn’t lock anything though, as you can no longer link with an opponent’s board.

We did that uno thing at a party one time. 4 players all share the same big pile of cards as their deck and a separate pile of extra deck cards. Then you just... Draw hands and play like "normal" lol

0:06 Pokemon intro reference?! nice

Ive always wanted to us the link monster and play " Tetra Master" from final fantasy 9 or Triple triad from final fantasy 8

that there is no propper draft AFTER it already existed in an even better way than mtg had in concept at least with battle packs is amazing. the BEST way of playing a card game infrequently is draft as it simply does not matter where the metta is or in what state the game is right now in such a low power format. heck you could probably teach someone draft who has not even heard of yugioh in an hour and they can have fun without even knowing what an extra deck is

You forgot the best alternative format: dungeon dice monsters

One format/ idea I want to seee sometime is seeing what would change if Flips operated like traps/ links couldn’t use tokens as material (Also as usual bishbalkin punk musket I beg of you.. cries in no deer note in master duel)

I actually got to play against you in Trinity, back then I was trying to make Subterror work with the ballpark insect package over the Shaddoll package, even though this was explicitly worse as it turns out.

My peak was during the highlander event. Building jank cyberse and winning almost consistently with it was great (and circular wasn't even a thing back then)

I wish they would make a new duelist of the roses!!!! One of the best games of all time

Bro Newgioh was fun as hell. It was, for all intents and purposes, just an expanded goat format, but it enabled some fun decks that you wouldn't have seen in goat. I had a Legendary Ocean deck put together that was insanely fun.

Bro newgioh was so fun. Beast down with horn of the phantom beasts and tour guide into acid golem. Then they added something in the last list that made me switch to skill drain machines but I forget exactly what that was, maybe triple limiter.

Wait, someone backwards engineered a Duelists of Roses ruleset!? "Insert Futurama take my money meme here"

A few years ago I tried to make a fanmade duelist od the roses but I could not get it not to crash. The first decks were going to be anime e hero vs manga e hero

Duelist of roses might be my actual first contact with Yu-Gi-Oh

Look Gary, that's me! Talking about the insanity that is GODS format :)

Thank you for the end dire

We used 2 play a 4 - 5 players free for all at school. It was actuallY FUN. A lot of cards that dont see play in the TCG were actually bronken in the free for all format.

I've made a ruleset to make Yu-gi-oh a "MTG-inspired" game that actually has a resource system. The only problem is that none of my friends felt like learning the new ruleset, here it is. Some MTG knowledge might be required to understand it. MTGMode Rules: - Both players have an energy pool that starts at 0 and grows by 1 at the beginning of their standby phase. - Creatures have Summoning sickness - You declare attacks directly to players, not creatures - Normal summoning or setting creatures requires you to pay a cost equal to their level. - Spells and traps cost 1 to be played on your first two turns, and 2 in the turns after that. - You can only play cards from your hand up to the number of turns that have passed. - Players declare blockers on a blocker phase after the attacking player declares he has finished declaring attackers and ends the attacker phase. - ATK is dealt to DEF when blocking. A creature that received damage equal to or greater than its DEF is destroyed. - Cards can be set for FLIP summon and for hidden information purposes. - Face-down tapped cards can block - Creatures must tap in order to declare an attack. - Tapped creatures cannot block. - A card summoned or played directly from the graveyard by the effect of a card that is also in the graveyard has a cost equal to half the level of the summoned creature, or 2 if the played card is a magic/trap card. - Any card that gives or has “Can attack directly” gives or has “Unblockable” instead. - Creatures that leave the battlefield the same turn they enter the battlefield by their own effect or as an additional effect of a card that summoned them, have don’t have Summoning Sickness - Creatures that return to your control at the beginning of your standup phase don’t have Summoning Sickness except for the first turn of the game. -All creatures with base 0 DEF have base 50 DEF instead. -All cards that exclusively deal direct damage to one opponent can also target a creature instead. -All magic cards that exclusively deal direct damage to one opponent are considered quick spells. - Any effect that would special summon a creature requires an additional 2 to be paid, otherwise the activation of that effect is negated. -You can pay an additional 5 to activate trap cards the turn they were set. - Special summoning itself costs mana equal to half that creature’s level

Wish the TCG would implement a Duelist of the Rose style gameplay, I would be so down for that 👌🏽

Yu-gi-oh! the Drinking Game is the best way to play. Take a shot everytime your opponent special summons

4-player YGO. The board is altered slightly (only slightly) to fit 2 more players in a square board, EMZs are shared by adjacent players. The player going Turn 1 isnt allowed to use the Right EMZ to ensure the last player doesnt get extra-locked. If a card effect says "your opponent", like Raigeki, you have to choose one of your opponents and it only applies to that player. If an effect says Each Player or would apply to both players, like Dark Hole, then it applies to all 4 players. Static effects that specify an opponent, like Prohibition, apply to a single player upon activation or summon. The Last player in the turn order is the first person allowed to enter the battle phase. I havent gotten to playtest it enough to know if more life points are needed or not. But I assume with the slowed down battle phase and having to fight through 3 player's interraction, OTK decks will be slowed down enough to get derailed.

"Uno Duels" sound a lot like the "Adventure Quest Worlds" card game. Yes, I own a deck of the Adventure Quest Worlds card game. It's fun to break out at parties.

Duelist of the Rose was awesome and ive been waiting for a way to play foreverrrrrr

2:52 Yeah Orcustrion is soo generic, I use it on all my decks because how easy it is to summon and use its effect.

This shit was my childhood together with capsule monster colusseum

HOLY 6:55 Uno Duel is the WAY! Mix both main decks together. Mix both extra decks together, decide who goes 1st/2nd. Reveal the Mega extra deck, DRAFT each players extra deck (Going second player gets the first draft) then draw starting hands from Mega main deck. (Maybe each player get to Mulligan two cards.)

Libromancer Mikanko featuring an actual wincon: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9GaldqGlsq3mqM.html Maybe for a next ten minute testing? Even if it is rather evil.

I’ve enjoyed playing the “pure”form of dogmatika with all of their new ritual cards. Been having a fun time overall.

kuchen sounds really interesting. and I wanna check out duelist of the roses rules. sounds cool

Where can I find out more about the duelist unite stuff?

I've dragged a friend into playing Duelist of the Roses but with actual cards before. It's absolute chaos but tons of fun.

Missed chance to include MBT's complete jingle as the full Pokemon title card

I've been out of Yugioh for a number of years so I've been playing Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evoluion to get relatively caught up to the modern game (still about 3 years behind but I now have a bit of a taste of how modern yugioh plays). I also used mods to change the challenge mode deck recipes to be better and a little more deadly so I can get used to being Ashed, Evenly'd and Called by.

We don't talk about the origins of Kuchen Format

Celtic Guardian only mode, but my deck is just 40 Mystic Mine

domain format my beloved

And this is where the Celtic Guardian Format had its debut on video, I see.

Duelist of The Roses is quite fun ngl. Played that shit a lot when growing up.

Duelists of the Roses is sick, doing another play though of DOTR redux right now

Oh fuck Celtic Guardian only mode gave me a headache from laughing

Damn, I should've shilled Motion Duels, I have a different DOTR-inspired ruleset (that I barely maintain) that uses a 5x5 grid (instead of 7x7) to better-integrate column effects and Link Monsters.

Oh, I'm SOOO glad that I am not active on Twitter, lest you'd hear about the draft format where you roll for 2 boxes and then pull half of each to build a deck out of them. I mean, it's a weird mix between Revz' Arena format and Sealed Showdown, but ffs, you really don't need to draft only a single set at once. This is Yu-Gi-Oh, not MtG where your draft is determined by color identity and parasitic synergies (okay, maybe the parasitic synergies are still there, but it's still easy to pack SOMETHING in there that is playable).
