The reason YuGiOh changed from being about a variety of games to just the Duel Monsters card game was because somehow that one issue with Kaiba became popular and kids were calling about how they could actually play Duel Monsters. Kazuki Takahashi took the chance and ran with the success of the volume, shifting the focus to the card game

Konami should just officially create categories of competition by types of summoning and/or deck building, almost like the development of the anime. That would be a lot better to see what's more popular and would open the game for any type of player. Mixing it all as the only option is a mistake.

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. And repeatable negates and a saturation of negates in general without a heavy cost was the worst design decision in all of yugioh. Because they are what truly make unwinnable games

Blue-Eyes synergizes extremely well with a lot of the Galaxy Exceeds monsters. They provide the archetype with some much needed interruption effects.

@@TheActMan Also, there are some games that were left out of or censored in the anime. The first game in episode 1 was very tame because in the manga, they literally used the knife and a stack of money (for both players) on top of their own hand. The game was simple, you STAB the stack of money on top of your hand without letting the knife reaching your flesh. The one with more money win. Another censorship in the manga was when Joey (or Jounouchi) fought a Bruce Lee wannabe guy. On top of standing on the pipe, each player has a FREAKING KNIFE BETWEEN THEIR TEETH and you are allowed to punch that knife to kill your opponents. LOL

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.

2014 card Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon: If this card battles, during damage calculation (Quick Effect): You can detach 1 material from this card once per battle; this card gains ATK equal to the combined Ranks of all Xyz Monsters currently on the field x 200, during that damage calculation only. If this card in its owner's control is destroyed by an opponent's card effect while it has "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" as Xyz Material: You can Special Summon this card during your 2nd Standby Phase after activation and double its ATK. Any battle damage this card inflicts to your opponent is halved unless it has "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" as Xyz Material.

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.

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.

The cards were deemed weak enough to be given insane amounts of support, and much of that support still doesn't see play, only time it did was when they wanted to promote blue eyes so they specifically made blues eyes able to target the best deck at worlds, and then it became woefully insignificant No, you're not playing the deck for the monster, at best the monster is a garnet to facilitate the other effects they weighed down Even blue eyes isn't a good beatstick anymore, a pot of desires and a gren maju draws you 2 and gets a 4000/4000 3 star for literally no effort No, you're playing the archetype because alternative is a free summon and pop as long as you have blue eyes in hand

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 🤑

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.

It never was a win condition, the incomplete version of the game you where playing as a kid with a singular structure deck never reflected the actual game.

Even some of the first structure decks like dragons where better than that. Don't talk about yugioh like you ever knew what it was, you probably played it before you had object permanence.

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
@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.

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.

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.

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. It really takes the immersion out of the game because Im not sitting here watching you play solitaire for over 10 mins. YES IM LOOKING AT YOU DRAGON LINK SCUMBAGS

Hey! If you’re looking for an experience closer to the old card game, try out rush duels. They haven’t released English cards stateside, but they do have the game on the switch. You might really like it as the whole premise is that the protagonist grew tired with the complexity of modern due monsters and made his own spin off on it. I find it to be loads of fun.

I think he means on specific zones on the field, and not just field spells in general. Like a playing field with different biomes. Like he said about putting a winged beast in a mountain zone. He showed a click from season 0, and if I recall didn't the playing field have different biomes you could put monsters in? Then he brings up the game sorta adding that later with link monsters, and which zones monsters were in had more of an impact.

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
@Edgelordfosho
@Edgelordfosho Жыл бұрын
problem with fixing it in the modern game is you either have to A) print new copies of every card with revised text and ban all previous copies which has obvious flaws or B) slowly dispense reprints with the revised texts aswell as printing new cards in this format while leaving all old copies legal which is a decent solution but it will take a long time to truly take effect due to its 'trickling' nature.

I have heard a suggestion that effects be simplified like Magic The Gathering (which I don’t know much about). Things like “Toon”, “Spirit”, “Gemini” etc. can remove much of their similar text and have you refer to a rulebook. Same thing with “once per turn, this card can…” to “SOPT” or something else for a soft once per turn. “Spell/trap immune”, “Non-targetable”, etc.

4Kid's original Yu-Gi-Oh opening theme-thing is still really rad. While their edits were sometimes kinda... ehh... they gave us the scene of a dude jumping out a window overlooking a cliff leading down into water and rocks with a, "You'll never take me alive!" followed by jumping _through_ that window (seemingly to his death) after two dudes in sunglasses busted into the room and aggressively pointed at him. For that, I can never _truly_ hate that company and still love them for introducing me to anime. Now if you'll excuse me, it's time for my weekly shopping trip. I really hope today will be the day some store has those weirdly-shaped jelly donuts Brock is so fond of. It's been 20-some years and I _still_ can't find any....

@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.

Trust me, there are a handful of archetypes in yugioh that have unmemorable or not-as-deeply-designed artworks, but if you ever break down what the Cubic card designs you'll see a lot of little details and it may genuinely help you in doing artworks.

One thing that's funny is that you really have to pay attention to the wording of cards, like if a card says it can't be targeted for the effect of a spell or trap, it can still be affected by spells or traps they just can't *target* said monster. So like a Dark Hole would still affect them.

@@TheRamblemanWhoSings its a way to balance, and yugioh is much easier to read out of the gate, like if i told you the effect of a card is. "Discard 1 card; Send 1 monster your opponent controls to the GY." 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. Without looking up what those do, you would have no clue even if you know alot about magic, and know all the rules. Also magic has some of the same problems, like does a random removal card effect a hexproof monster? what about a nuke? sacrifice? your opponents choice?
