If you play Edison, or other retro formats, what’s your favorite deck to use?

A wise man once said “you never quit Yugioh you just take a long break”

This really shows that YuGiOh need more officially supported formats. MTG does this so well I hope Konami does something like it sooner than later.

This makes me wish masterduel would add format specific queues or events. Id love to play oldschool formats on it 😭

I’m a huge fan of Yugioh, but unlike most of the audience I’m on the younger side. You don’t usually get younger people or newer people into the game so seeing you get back into the game especially through something like Edison is really cool!

Hey Macro! Thanks for the Shout-out! I didn't even realize how much content was used here from my channel and I'm glad to see more interest in Edison Format since my return back in Sept 2022. I used to play in this era heavily and a majority of the meta cards I see in that timeframe are still muscle memory. Practically nothing surprised me back then and I'm in love with the fact that I seldomly have to read cards or change my mindset in how classic Yu-Gi-Oh ran. Anyhow, thanks for the video and welcome to Edison Format!

I used to be a competitive Yu-Gi-Oh! player that dropped off shortly after link monsters were introduced. My reason for leaving were the same as yours, whilst my love for the game hasn’t rekindled, I’m glad that yours have and found it interesting you also played. On the other hand, not too long ago I got into the commander format in Magic the Gathering, it’s so fun and casual. As a Yu-Gi-Oh! Player back then I saw Magic as an older guys game but now I wish I had played it sooner.

modern is basically a fighting game where both players don't know what moves the other person has it is stupidly exhausting to play and very hard especially for newer players but it feels hella rewarding if you master it personally for me when my friend introduced me to this game

One of the best videos on Edison Format I have ever seen!! I cannot express how large the smile on my face was the entire time I watched this video😄😄😄 I love the passion you clearly have for the game, and your clear desire to emphasize its most fun aspects! Your zombie plant list is truly legendary at this point and I cannot wait to see what you cook up next. An absolute legend and I hope so many people find out about edison format because of this! Thank you for making this video. 2024 is going to be an INCREDIBLE year for Macro and an INCREDIBLE year for yugioh 🔥🔥🔥

Honestly the retro formats is the best way to get people into the game in a more simple way than modern format. I do like the current format but... I can't deny how much fun the older ones are when I get burnt out on the modern format

Welcome back! I just return a couple of years ago. I play the current fomat and love deck building and testing.

Edison brought me back to yugioh as well, honestly fills great to have the spark of it back

Fellow Edison format player. Macro actually attends our locals and I can attest to the fun we have playing this retro version of the game. Definitely check it out if youve played yugioh before or ever wanted to play.

yo know why i love edison too ? because old DS gamea are basically just edison, right before or right after, meaning that you can totally play through the story of 5ds using edison cards and familiarize yourself with that and rulings there. been playing the wc 2009 and 2010 games recently, lots of fun

Master Duel not having retro formats kills it. It is way more friendlier to explore old formats first and then try new ones with time rather than being plunged right into a modern and competitive ladder.

I love playing this format its so fun i also play alot of the 5ds tag force games which are VERY fun to play as the decks are really cool to build and also the anime as well

I am the zombie plant guy my friend and I took inspiration from the twilight rose deck and that's what we came up with! So thank you!

Personally i like modern more, just because i started playing when the albaz structure deck came out and if you have a friend you could also pivot to just playing constructed, which gives off the pacing of older formats while also having stronger cards or at least functioning archetype decks seen in newer decks

Been great having you in the community macro! Always love it when you pop up in keegan or karpaths comment section lol

Should totally make another channel of you going to locals or Yu-Gi-Oh content! I'd watch it

Great video and enjoyable to watch!

The way I always play with my friends is by Drafting Cubes, basically simulating what it’s like to open card packs and build decks with what we draw. The fun is that you can balance the card pool to be exactly to your tastes so I have a lot of Edison staples mixed with some early XYZ cards and even some anime nostalgia cards. I highly recommend it!

I legit want to play again this year the Time Wizard Formats! I have that adult money where i can make any deck i want from these formats (thanks to reprints) I missed playing and it was such a fun time in my life! We'll see what happens later on in the year with events being announced!

Good to see a yugi bro back in action

I’m coming back to YuGiOh with Edison. Just ordered my cards and have a few friends to play with. I’m super hyped.!

I just started playing again it’s nuts and so much different from when I was 12 god 10 years does so much to a game

I found your channel from Zuczid! Really love the other content you've been making!

I wish duelist alliance format was popular! That would be my ultimate time wizard format!

Nice to see retro formats get more love and hopefully more support soon, even though I stick to modern stuff. There are just modern strategies like VS and branded that I love enough to deal with more annoying stuff like labrynth

I had no clue you were a DuelHead. Blackwings For Life!

I recently got support for my decks so I came back For the fun of it and new deck I like and if rush duel comes out that s going to be fun

Yu-Gi-Oh is so much better than pokemon imo

Completely AGREE I used to LOVE yu-gi-oh but AFTER XYZ it all went down hill....Synchro was the PEAK for me

LESSGOOOO IM SO EXCITED MACRO YYUGIUOH VIDEO

Absolutely love this video! You can truly play anything in this format and do well if you play well. I got 3rd place at the Ultimate Time Wizard Tournament at Nationals with Amaryllis Burn! Practicing and knowing your strategy inside and out will get you far

Great video😁

I got back into playing again about a year ago. And I plan this year to be Awesome

Ain't no way he's back in the grind

I still remember your video on yugioh Weird how things changed

Yugi oh is golden

Didn't even know what edison format was till now. Might switch to that from speed duels, but they did hit Cyber Dragons sooooooo maybe not

The reason why I don’t really play old formats is because the Red-Eyes support that could actually do anything was released during the pendulum era. Same for the Dragon Lords (an interesting deck that uses Paladin/Guardian of Felgrand and Ruins of the Divine Dragon Lords to summon level 7 and 8 dragons, especially Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand and Arkbrave Dragon, to banish your opponent’s cards and turn these dragons into beat sticks).

The timing on this is impeccable, i also just started playing again

@TheMacroShow, where are you covering Rush Duel?

Hey the next team ycs in February is a time wizard format so they’ll be playing Edison decks I believe. You should definitely check it out!

I know a lot of people don’t like yugiohs modern style but that personally why I like it the only real downsides for me is prices and tbh older formats are to slow

Welcome back Macro!

What a good combo, my favorite gam and macro

Hi I love your videos, would you ever try magic the gathering? I use to play yugioh but didn’t like how the game evolved :( but I played magic and found a new card game that made me feel exited to learn!

Time Wizard formats brought back my love for Yugioh

I play a T.G. And floral knight deck that is built towards the tengu plant format with some pack filler cards from recent years

First macro vid I saw was why I quit yugioh and caused me to quit too but I personally love the way how modern yugioh has like an answer for everything or a counter so to speak so that there’s always a bit of excitement when you break those boards but that’s just me tho and I personally love Edison format but the ever changing normal format is my go-tp

Did the card text change for cards like judgement dragon?!! It doesn’t make sense to me at all that you can have priority for ignition effects lol

Welcome back and yes I agree I love that format

Welcome to Yugioh bud dawg! If you need anything I'm one click away!

I first heard of Edison thanks to Magical Hats Now I get to really understand! XD

Welcome back

Holy crap I never thought I'd see the day that macro talks about playing yu-gi-oh

One of us! One of us!

I know Hawks nest gaming in GA has a night dedicated to Edison format.

is there like a site that we can play that? cause i really hated those links and pendulums etc etc. so i really hope there is a site that we can play

This shit was my childhood, and still is.

We need a yugioh for noobs video 😭

I love edison format but i love this curent modern format. Its literaly edison 2.0 with 14 difrent decks toping on ivents, but yea edison i goated.

i liked and subed for this reson

that's why i only play modern ygo online with homies, no need to go for tournament since u can do it online. these formats exist so no one is left behind

fire vid

Macro thank you soooo much for bringing love to the Edison community we need more people to help it grow!!

Man I loved that era from like 2007-2009 of yugioh. I was in middle school and my friends and I would ride our bikes to our locals spot every Sunday. This is about the time that Synchro Cards were first introduced. Outside of the old guy running the locals openly not wanting us there cuz we only went to play for free and trade cards with ppl not spend money cuz we had none 😂. Fun times. No clue about OP decks or a yugioh meta. We just had decks built up over time from cards our parents bought us and we were winning against a lot of adults who had more resources than us to deck build. I loved my Horus Lockdown Deck I spent years building as a kid. I wish master duel added different formats to the game. I recently game back to yugioh over a year ago. Game is crazy now. Cool and lame af at the same time with the 2 turn or 3 turn duels being the norm. Built myself a Branded Bystial deck cuz duh dragons are the dopest cards but I miss old yugioh but can’t commit to playing it irl anymore sadly. Great video man!

6:01 Don’t worry, we, the modern players, are clamouring for Trident Dragion reprints too…

Hey Macro, I know you said you don’t like modern Yu-Gi-Oh overall but is there anything you do like about current Yu-Gi-Oh.

i only have old Yugi cards from 2013 ..i think...i dont think i can play w the new ones, im just too old i guess, but im willing to play the old on again...some day

I feel you on this Macro, I recently sold my sinful spoil fire king deck for $750 so I can play something I like and not something meta

YOOOOOOOOOOOO WELCOME BACK TO YUGIOH MACROOOO Before I even watch this fully I’m gonna guess you’re an Edison guy. You said you played competitively so I assume it’s not gonna be Goat. There’s no other major option so yeah lol

LETS GO

He’s getting back into brooooo. He’s cooked 😭

Speaking of alternate formats, Have you played the format called common charity, Marco? It's basically if yugioh had mtg's pauper format(Basically you can only use cards that were printed as a common). It also solves the problems you were talking about earlier(assuming you use the banlist made by the community). Balanced, cheap to play, and not overly complicated.

Do you think I could use Dino’s effectively if so I might start playing it

I loved getting cards and trying to one-up both my brothers in 3-way duels. I got into Master Duel a few weeks back and set up a Blue-Eyes deck that while it's basic to basically every pro, a good hand can get me 2 to 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons on my first turn.

Fun fact i have Yu GI oh on my laptop and I'm still playing this until this day

Only problem is that alot of locals don't host Edison tournaments. I wish more did especially with the current format that yugioh is going through

Edison sounds great

@Marco: What you showed was resolve incorrectly but still end-up that same end result in Edison format. Saying it is priority is a mistake, because it is not only you can activated ignition monster effect when they successfully special summoned themself, you can also activated when you set a spell or trap card, in response to that, as long as it was within you main phase 1, or main phase 2, it was not because ignition got priority, because it was the way it work back then, and it look like ignition effect got priority because the turn player got priority not the ignition effect itself that got priority. they did that, that way back then since they wanted to make ignition effect diffrent than spell speed 1 spell card, since when you activated a spell that is spell speed 1, does card can't activated in response to your own succefully summoned monster, and neither responde to setting a spell or trap card. Also back then their was the weird rulling only for TCG, if a spell speed 2 card got a trigger effect that trigger effect is also spell speed 2, this is also why the card Ultimated offering behave really weird, it take the rulling of ignition effect, but the ignition effect is spell speed 2, and ignition effect can never be spell speed 2 it can only be spell speed 1. This is why in modern yugioh if ultimated offering comes out of the banned list or you play in unlimtited format or traditonal format, it as already been change to a quick effect.

For hat format 2014 what list we go by for that year i ask theirs more then one list a year n what set we can't pass and ban list? Can someone tell me pls i did like that format and i all these formats in real life at the time they their shit im old 31 soon

Is ancient gear alowed in Edison format? i realy liked it before the introduction of link and pendulum monsters, and it was one of my first decks i made.

YESSSS EDISON FORMAT ROCKS

Time Wizard formats are pretty cool because for the longest time they're assumed solved but since no new banlists or sets and people looking to get a competitive edge, metas have changed. Look at the actual tournament results fron SJC Edison and the meta now.

Hey Marco, have you heard of Speed Duels? Dunno if you played Duel Links before it's basically that but irl.

Edison format is so good, I love it so many decks and affordable prices is something great

OH? [pulls Skull Servant] Hello again...

Honestly Im the same. Just downloaded master duel again and am popping off ( with Dragonmaid deck with a bit of dragon master deck put in ) EDIT: This deck is pretty Easy to use as majority of it is trying to build up to special summon dragonmaid Shao which can Also Be sacrificed to special summon a house dragonmaid and Boost it

It says a lot about the state of Yugioh that the most fun you've had with the game in a long time is... playing a version of the game that hasn't existed in a long time. It may actually be one of the few (card) games where older really was better and not just rose-tinted glasses.

How dare you make me wait 5 years for a sequel to the old video :(

Shit… I need to give Edison a try!

Love to see Edison get some love these days

Magic has a similar but different format where instead of cards from the past being used it's cards that are more recent. It's called pioneer and since cards of old MTG are so busted this is like Edison but for magic. Cool video! I'm giving it a try.

Love hat format it's wirad to see Yu-Gi-Oh on your Chanel

yooo macro i love you!!'

Edison I JUST REMEMBERED D/D/D/! XD

I have been playing Yugioh for a long time and unlike you i like modern yugioh but i get fed up by it sometimes so i tried edison format today for the first time lol and its pretty nostalgic with the old cards and fun def gonna give it some.more time
