For any game, giving players more options to play how they want will always lead to a happier playerbase overall

I played yugioh as a kid and got back into it recently and my three biggest complaints are that turns take too long with all the summons, too many negates to shut down the opponent, and a ton of cards that're good but aren't good enough to compete against modern decks. There needs to be formats so you can play average decks without getting constantly bodied once you reach high ranks.

My only concern with ever getting older formats in Master Duel is that MD primarily follows the OCG (Japan’s) banlist. It’s why cards are Maxx C, Verte Anaconda, and Chaos Ruler are still legal while cards like Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon is banned. If we get older formats in MD, its most likely gonna more resemble the cards that japan had at the time, not NA. It’ll mostly be the same, but cards like The Tricky, Magician of Black Chaos, and Blue-Eyes Ultimate would be included even though they aren’t in our retro format. It makes me wonder how popular retro formats are in Japan. If their player base is begging for it too, I think we’d have a fighting chance to get what we wish.

If they made GOAT official, even in stores, I would get back to the game immediatly. I stopped playing in 2008, tried to re experience my childhood through magic, but that didn't cut it. I want old yugioh back, please make it happen!

I remember when I first started playing and trying to learn the different mechanics, I was like "Okay I get what XYZ monsters do" then someone brought out Zeus using a rank 4 monster and I was like, "How?!".

100% agree, formats would be so good. Goat, Edison etc. Maybe exclusive extra deck type formats like a fusion or synchro format where the extra deck is only composed of those specific monster types. And maybe outright banning archetypes or engines like tearlements or pile decks rather than just having a couple pieces on the ban list

I started playing master duel when it came out and played old school decks like dm for a whole year but I got really bored with it so I started picking up newer decks and I fell in love with yugioh all over again I personally love the fast pace and complexity that is in the game now a days but I understand people who prefer the old style of play,.

I think speed duel needs to be a much more supported format and I think it should stay within the original 3 series for as long as possible. Idk if you got the GX Duelists of Shadow box but it’s the coolest product I’ve seen in paper yugioh in years and I wanna get it so I can play GX duels with the homies.

The OG format is what I grew up with and part of what made yugioh so fun for me. Different formats should be in master duel and they'll probably do it at some point. But I think it would be harder to implement different formats in the physical game.

How to fix yugioh: Step 1) Showering before entering an in-person event becomes a mandatory requirement for all contestants

So, there is a (I’d argue) better format, but it’s only in the OCG. Rush duels are basically the more sped up, more simple speed duel format. The entire thing has old nostalgia stuff like BE and DM but also new stuff like a deck themed around ramen noodles. It has only one non-supported game in the west, while the OCG has like, everything. It’s a really cool format and it should be checked out more.

I like what they did with rush duels it’s a reboot that both players new and old can enjoy and it’s pretty simple.

I agree. People should be allowed to play what they want to play. I still don't understand why Konami just refuses to introduce those alternative formats like Master Duel. It's not like those older cards wouldn't sell.

I love the hatred amongst pendulum players is worldwide

I definitely agree with multiple format support. Having only the meta focused/competitive format that's the standard atm is only one way to play the game. Nothing wrong with it, but for a lot of people, that isn't the only way they want to play. Goat, Eddison, Speed/Rush, Tag, and even a Singleton format would give just about all of the fans a niche to fit in that they enjoy most. Shift the current format to a rotational one. It'd be a big task, but it'd help filter out a lot of the toxic cards and could help Konami design more balanced cards in the future. They could create another format (Unlimited/Legacy) where it'd be open season and use all the cards minus the banned ones. MtG has a lot of formats for just about everybody (Standard, Modern, Commander, CEDH, Pauper, Pioneer, Plane Chase, Brawl, Oathbreaker, Cube, etc.). I think Konami really needs to catch up in that regard. Yugioh has over 10k cards. That's way too many to be limited to only one official way to play.

Monsters having the ability to negate cards was the start of the downward spiral imo. Floodgates became popular because of all the negates monster boards set up. Hand traps became necessary because you need to stop the opponent from getting access to their monsters that will stop you from playing. Spell cards and traps cards that negate at least require that care to be used up and with traps, u opponent can use certain cards to get rid of them.

Promoting older formats is something I definitely agree with. It’d also be great to have MD have a customized formats feature. It’d be nice to play older archetypes with some modern support without making too complicated/broken.

Nostalgia is definitely a thing for yugioh. I played goat then stopped for a while, but got back into it when they released cards for blue eyes.

honestly what i think i would love the most in master duel has to be this 1. allow friend duels to use any card regardless that you have it made or not. 2. have like anime protagonist/antagonist theme deck or structures but having different formats (goat edision ect will be a very nice welcome)

I only started yugioh last year, and I’ve learned all the modern rules and everything. It’s not an easy game to get into, not at all. Especially when master duel gives you awful starter decks to start with. So for new players they get to hop in ranked and get absolutely destroyed for the first 40 hours cause everyone else is playing decks that are so much better. It’s hard to begin when you lose almost every game turn 1.

Bring back the real tag duel. Where you actually share the same field and cards with your partner.

For the reasons you stated in this video is why I was very appreciative. When you made the blue eyes videos back when master durl first came out. It helped me learn the game in a simple way.

I'm a Magic the Gathering player who's recently gotten back into the game after quitting around 2012. The game has been nearly overwhelming, and I have to read so many cards just to understand what's happening. Without Master Duel I wouldn't have even bothered. Something Magic does that I think Yu-Gi-Oh could benefit from is different formats. I think you're totally correct there. Host tournaments with GOAT decks, or the Edison format. Or create a new format like Magic's standard format. In standard, you can only play cards from sets released around the past two or so years. Perhaps if Yugioh had a format like that they could balance for that format, and leave all the busted stuff for a different format. That would solve the problem of having old cards become super toxic and relevant again, while still allowing for fresh, new cards.

I grew up with the synchro and xyz era but I have come to really enjoy the goat format

hey rhyme!! love the videos keep up the hard work!

Definitely agree. I watched the original seasons and enjoyed some of the early gba games. Honestly started playing master duel recently because of all of the content you and the boys be putting out. I’m not familiar with synchro, xyz or pendulum as a whole but I get the concepts. But I’ve been frustrated when I see my opponent playing solitaire for 2 mins straight to have 4 diff monsters that all negate or banish before I summon. To be fair I’m playing Demise and ruin deck just bc I like big axe users so I get it and not trying to be competitive. But playing against a board where 2 monsters negate and one banishes or sends my card back to the hand is just boring. I like goat format more since there’s less people can do and thus more suspense.

You’re not alone. I’m for sure and old school lover myself. I just built 9 different decks too with all the 25th anniversary booster boxes that were released.

Love the content Rhyme ❤ also will you make a video on the new ridiculous patch notes for FighterZ?

Without Master Duel there is no way I would have figured out how to play Modern Yugioh

What are your thoughts on Yu-Gi-Oh should do more spin off games, that break away from the formate, similar to what Pokemon do with Mystery Dungeon and Pokken Tournament?

Agree with you completely! Been getting back into the TCG again and been playing Master Duel. I love running Toon decks and Chaos decks. Definitely prefer older yugioh but some of the old cards being retrained as Links or Xyz has got me interested in the new meta style but still pretty intimidated by the decks that come out. The turns are just too long for me, i want to play the game, not just watch someone special summon 20 times and negate all my best cards. Would love more balance and more game modes on master duel that allow diversity and allows players to play in the format that makes the game the most fun for the individual player

Back and forths were and always will be my best memories of Yugioh, you're right we need this

Something akin to the rotating extra modes system in Apex Legends would be very refreshing in Master Duel (it would take tweaking and changes admittedly). Imagine a wheel of modes that changed every 30 min to hour that included stuff like proper tag duels, battle royal duels, etc. formats would be the first change I would make but if I had the magic button to change anything about the game, I’d include both of these.

I commented a few days ago about this exact subject feels good to be heard some people just wanna chill out and have a fun game

I remember watching the show Saturday mornings and buying Decks for $12 and boosters fot $4 at target. The best part was smelling them after opening, pure ecstasy.

The way I look at it at least today, there are two worlds that exist in Yu-Gi-Oh. Light and Dark if you will. The light being, playing with your friends who enjoy and respect the game as much as you where you can let your guard down, play a fun deck and just have a great time, which is what I believe the creators originally intended. The dark being the less fun competitive world of Yu-Gi-Oh where it's just to see what has a higher percentage of winning where no thinking is involved. It isn't about fun anymore, aka Kash, Tears, Lab etc. It's about seeing what wins, which is still good because it pushes players to develop strategies to overcome that. When I play against Kash, Tears etc. I don't feel like I'm playing against a human being. It feels like playing a bot that only knows how to run through a script which is neither skillful, original or respectful to the game.

As someone who loves superheavy i have major animosity towards anyone who uses spells or traps

I can definitely agree with this take. I'm an og yugioh player, I took my hiatus mid synchro. I love master duel, I've embraced newer yugioh and actually enjoy playing meta decks. I could never play tcg right now. Without the prompts I wouldn't know what is activatable and when I can play certain cards.

Playground yugioh was so peak. I went into master duel after not playing yugioh since the synchro and xyz era and I got turned off from it so fast. Made me realize what was actually so fun about it back in the day, which was just buying cards from the store and building a deck out of what you had

Day 156 of convincing Rhyme that Nino is best girl

Itsuki is Best Girl Day 113🔥🔥🔥🔥

A crazy idea in the working but a special zone on each side of the board that can be used once per game per player for a limited amount of time that temporarily allows for the use of one banned from the game, that allows the banned to played under certain circumstance while offering specific advantage or advantages to the opposing player with an effect of their choice (such as protection from a deck out or lp reaching 0) at the cost of other player using the zone. This creates an in game mechanic that nerfs banned card while still allowing them to be played while also encouraging more cards than interrupt the regular flow of the game to be banned. Maybe even make the banned card that's chosen as random as if someone were picking from a side deck.

Still waiting for older format but also especially for tag duel content on md. I really loved that's aspect. I believe it would make really fun content too ( or toxic when your teammates do a mistake)

I was late to the Yugioh party but looking back to Yugioh then and now, I am a new Yugioh fan and I understand more the original format than the modern format

I’ve been playing Yugioh for I think little over a year now and while I respect deck building and archetypes, it’s not fun when you’re going against the same thing over and over again and you have to play ranked in order to even get a chance for cards you want in master duel. But I’m also at a point where I’d say make Dragoon limited. But that would also cause problems on both ends because with red eyes fusion it’s so easy to get out and people would add it to their deck cause it’s such a powerful card. I, as a newish player, think formats would be great. I loved the deck master format from the show I wish they capitalized on it. I’d play that a lot. I just wish Konami would listen to the fans but at the same time theirs always two sides to the fandoms and what they want. It’s always a conflicting opinion but adding formats would help so many, and it wouldn’t hurt the other side. So my take in all this, is add options. Not forced options. Options that would, possibly make things easier for newer players like Goat or Edison, and have them learn the game from the absolute basics, and learn things through when they first appeared, like Fusion first, and then Synchro, stuff like that. Options never hurt anybody. Forced options, will hurt everyone.

I will say this I only watched a little bit of the anime and I went into master duel as a new player and master duel is the best introduction to the series right now because there tutorial mode is actually good and allowed me to learn I went from not knowing Yu gi oh to loving it in around a week or so

Using an easier way to access older formats is such a better way of not only introducing new players but actually giving them an understanding of the game’s fundamentals wich master duel is gash at

I play yugioh , my brother and I love playing anime decks that he made for me for my birthdays, great game, meta is wild it was a little complicated getting into masterduel at first but I have a pretty good understanding now

I talked about this before with friends and in comments of other videos discussing this topic. The best example of a community made format just blowing up is Commander in MtG. Some would argue it's even more popular then standard now. Literally MtG makes structure decks now for Commander and basically only Commander. They leaned into what their community wants to play and honestly Konami just needs to follow suit. They need to lean further into other formats to appeal to the wider audience.

Preach! Been wanting this for a while too! If Wizards of the Coast can run/organize/handle multiple formats, Konami can too. If Pokémon tcg has now started to implement multiple formats like MTG, then the writing is on the wall for Konami to finally start embracing the same! Have multiple formats. Draft/limited, classic/goat, modern, Edison, & more! Play as many or as few formats as you wish!

Beautifully said I got into yugioh through duel links when 5ds just came out (Edison format for closest comparison) I just managed to get into yugioh before slowly getting into modern, the official different formats is an amazing idea people who want to play the game they grew up with and gives them the option to. It's one of the things I love about pokemon showdown (ik not official) but I loved playing ou gens 5-7 and randoms. But having that format to go back keeps me connected to pokenon

step #1 create a new 'modern' format and don't let the cards get out of control, step #2 erase link monsters.

Rhyme speaking facts! I like modern Yu-Gi-Oh cards but the game itself is so complicated and so over the top with its mechanics and that scares away new players or even worse, returning players.

We really should have more tournament options because locals would be jam packed, friendships will be made, rivals too. I love all the formats but favor modern. What I despretally want is variety in comp play.

surprisingly good take at the first 2 minutes of the video, i'm pleasantly surprised

The more pressing issue with more formats is how they'll reprint the old strong cards from those formats. Would they be their own sets of would they take up space of new up coming sets?

It should’ve been like a Jinchuriki thing in Naruto. Broken cards should’ve always JUST been archetypal. Which would create incentive to play certain decks. When certain cards became generic, it made Yugioh a game of rock, paper, scissors.

In my head this just involves making a spreadsheet, copying the spreadsheet to md and making some graphics. Like, get the card list from a format, put that in a spreadsheet, mark the limited cards as an integer then code it so whatever isn’t in the spreadsheet is banned. They do the exact same thing for every event when cards are hidden when you search them

I like trying to revive older decks with newer cards like skull servants its my most fun deck because of the sheer options i have its all opinionated and we can all come together because none of us read and we all love yugioh

Dude I just got Back , i was Fan In 2005 or so and i come back Seeing u play it wanted to Catch up on the Anime So Started where I left off Watching GX and now start Watching 5D'S And i going to keep going I wish i could play The game But On pc Master Duel is not Able To play on steam Not For My Country Atleast So i also Want To Collecte The cards again , Their So Beautiful Once

That's the issue in the middle eastern specifically gulf reigon I used ti go to a lot of large yu gi oh locals and reigonlas which was very commen and at that time I played exodia and everyone at that time in thr store which was 60 people played meta decks and I ended quiting and just enjoyed collecting the cards playing duel links and master duel

And a draft mode for each format would be nice too

Let's make this video as big as possible, we need this

It would be nice if say like in Master Duel they gave players the option to pick which format to play as well as adjust the rules and cards they can use for said format instead of lumping in all playstyles into one game mode

As a modern day player and official yugioh I do agree that there should be different formats in master duel and for the tcg I mean you go a regional or a YCS they have side events going on during them and it isn't hard for konami to do them and if the cards got irroted then just use those versions so the game play is more fairer per those formats

Got back in to YuGiOh back when SeeReax was helping ChilledChaos get back in to the game. Was a fan of the 3 Idiots before that and a fan of Chilled for years before that and it got me and my buddy both back in to it. Took me a while to accept Links, XYZ werent completely unfamiliar, and Synchros werent complicated. Links were just odd and still dont touch Pendulums. I do have my love for old school YuGiOh, and several of my decks were designed that felt out of date at first, but my only issue with the game is the fact that turn 1 lockouts are a thing. Id rather have even 2 or 3 turns of back and forth before shit becomes impossible. Thats just me. Still love the game. Got to the point that I built my decks off of shit that I liked the look of. I made a Cubic deck because I loved the art. Didnt know how they played until I tried them against a friend. Thats how almost all my decks are. I prefer pure archtype decks. Have them for Danger, Fur Hire, Cubics, Bujin, Ruin/Demise, Rose Dragon, and many others

I think they could get timestamps for the poi nt the card was created, (depending on ocg, tcg, md) but basically put a point on the card. After that, you make a left and right slider to pick a point or filter of duelist you want to play against. You only like the game from 2014 to 2018? Good luck with that but maybe someone else did too. Set the slider for begining to 2009 for some reason? Go for it. I think after a while formats would just start making themselves and it would be quicker at least to find filtered formats. Plus it shows Konami a clear popular point with the cards based on where people want to play.

I too grew up with the old school game, not to mention that I build decks that never gets hit and at the same time fun and a little competitive.

I am a fan of og till synchro (included) after i still play and appreciate it but i have a pref to older stuff.

I agree completely! The new Era is dope and alot to take in but.... OG yugioh was soo much fun! I like running Galaxy-Eyes I feel like they are a mixture of old and new

Also honestly bringing back a good instead of terrible new anime would get me back into the game more. Bring back the Pharoah

Preach! My boy Rhyme out there spitting fire. I mean, at this point just have Konami hire Rhyme for a couple of months and we can have formats. Personally when I see a massive shitstorm of a board I get so tired I don't even try anymore. It is fun to break a board and win a game you had no business winning. One of my favorite moments in MD was breaking a Flow deck in Ranked with my Winged Dragon of Ra deck and barely winning, but after the 300th mega T0 board I just can't anymore. I see a Kash card, I don't care if you are good at playing it or just picked it up and don't know what to do with it, you are communicating to me, and everyone else, you want to play single player Yu-Gi-Oh, so I just insta quit and let you go play by yourself. I can't be bothered. Formatting would fix all of these issues. You want to bust your head against the T0 mega boards and win by breaking them? Cool, go ranked. Want to play slower games where you can actually have a 15 turn game? Play Edison. As it stands, and as much as I hate to say it, Yu-Gi-Oh is a bad game with great moments every once in a long while, and that's not good. We have no new blood coming in and people's stupid mentality of "They just aren't' playing the game right" and "Yu-Gi-Oh is supposed to be insanely unfriendly to new players! That's THE CHARM" is expediting the death of the game.

I loved the anime more than the game years ago but getting into the game back then for the first time was fun! Although I tend to lose a dozen duels by trying to make good decks, I still play it because it's fun! That's all that matters to me! Not all these crazy combos and all that! Having fun is key to enjoying the game in my opinion.

Rhyme, what is your take on an addition to the ban list that would "hard limit/semi-limit" certain cards? A limited pool where you can only use 1 of ANY of the cards within this pool. (Let's just say for example Verte anaconda and red-eyes fusion, you'd only be able to use one or the other, essentially preventing the abuse of both/either within any legal decks) They already have this feature in one of their games, and I personally feel like if it was implemented into our official ban list, it could potentially prevent some of the best decks in the game from abusing cards against the origional intention and it would widen the ability to use cards/decks in more interesting ways imo.

i agree with this. i was actually overwhelmed when i was just playing casual because my opponent just suddenly summon a lot of things. I have never uninstalled a game that fast

I tried to get back into the game using master duel where i made a Blue eyes and DM deck but i was promptly met with a deck that made me wait FOREVER for this ridiculous combo to finish and i was just like "Nah Bro". Havent touched Master Duel since.

For official tournaments yes this idea will remain too ambitious because yes they would need entirely separate banned/limited lists for each format. In terms of unofficial or in master duel I mean nobody is stopping u from starting up ur own tournaments with those formats. But with almost what like 13000+ cards and increasing, the officials just dont have the patience or the want to put in that kinda effort. As for why people hate on different formats is because of the difference in how complex each person wants the game to be. Most people who prefer OG yugioh prefer it for its simplicity, while most modern players prefer the high complexity combos.

I'd like a gradient rating system for decks, probably run by the community. Then you find someone to play with with a similar "power level". Think about Warhammer 40K, for example. You build an army for a certain budget. If I want a smaller more intimate experience, 1K pts each is great. If I want a big crazy battle, 4K gives you more than you know what to do with. Also, combo-banning (or ranking if we adopt that idea). I love my Fairy Tail Snow, among her sisters in my charmer deck. I have no way to recycle banished cards (or dump into GY), so I barely ever get to resolve that graveyard effect. But some decks can turn a one, maybe two, removal card into an infinite combo. There are so many interesting cards on the ban list that we don't use because of a specific combo or use-case. And we kind of do that already, right? At least on the casual level. If you play a deck that stomps someone every single time, you switch to more rogue deck eventually just to have a good game.

I dont play yugioh since i but enjoyed the cards. I've always wondered if they limited the number of effect monsters, traps, and spells. Like a range like 10-15 spells or traps per deck an or 5-8 effect monsters, thus forcing more normal monsters in the decks. And I feel you have to be even more strategic to make a deck. Would be interesting to see how a game plays with similar limits. Mess around with numbers and may have to change some effects to make them more viable or less so.

Yeah. I 100% agree with you on this. My experience. I was a lot younger when i watched the Yugioh. Back then, i didn't really play the game. But, my brother did a little bit. I have a slower comprehension problem whev it comes to reading. I was even in IEP in school. I didn't actually start learning the game until master duel came out. I wanted to try because for one. It's free to play. 2. I wanted to see some of my favorite cards again from back in the day. Buster blader, Dark Magician,Blue eyes, Exodia, Red eyes. When I think Yugioh. Those are the cards I think of. Even before the Egyptian Gods because I always loved those cards. Oh! And Flame Swordsman. So, me trying to play Yugioh today just is too " fast" to me. If you think waitint 10 minutes on someone to end their turn "fast" then sure. I also came to try because I thought it was about the same way as it was back then. It's clearly not. I want to learn older format. I don't know when cards came out or anything like that so I don't know how to build decks from certain years but I still enjoy older decks way better. I like Blue eyes, Dark Magician and Gaia. That's almost all I play. It takes me out of it and ruins the experience for me personally because I can't play how I personally want to.

I believe a special summon limit would fix a lot. Yes, some decks will be less likely to be played. But how is that different from the situation we are in now. Of course, there would be one difference. The game will be forced to last longer. Simply because less is happening. This will give slower decks a chance to keep up. In my opinion a summon limit of 5 monsters would feel fair. Then the chance of creating a unbreakable board will be reduced inmensly. Perhaps it gives trap cards even a chance to return.

Can you do a reaction video to old yu-gi-oh episodes

I was playing my friend recently and for some reason he couldn't summon anything else apart from their swordsoul supreme sovereign and couldn't summon anything else for 3 turns and we couldn't find out why. I like some of my more complicated decks, but I would love to return to day one. I didn't play the og tcg but I grew up watching it and it looked fun asf, and you can't jump in with a deck like yugi's og deck and win sadly, which is why formats are a crazy good idea.

All that matters is enjoying your time with your friends. You never know when it's your last

they should have set rotations with essentially only structure deck cards and what ever set is released. then konami can focus on creating good sets and playtesting each one to make sure duels last 15 turns without major blowouts. the card pool would be limited to maybe current set plus last set. where its always 2 main sets that dictate what you can play.

5:30 Thats my favorite part with yugioh i love going up against the top decks me winning the coin flip and make my opponent Go first and make them question their plays. I play gizmek blind 2nd and it’s a lot of fun.

I have to admit hero is an anime deck that pretty much has stood the test of time. I was beating tearlaments with dark law dpe set ups and I plan on beating kashtira with plasma dpe set ups

Agreed! Yu-Gi-Oh is really complicated these days, but i still want to enjoy it.

So the only reason I'm slightly into modern day yugioh and thats to say there was a huge gap into getting into it is because me and a friend decided to sownload master duel and play goat format which lead into us playing modern day yugioh just trying to speed up how long duels used to take we still hate overly annoying decks like floo and most synchro decks but honestly i think bringing back a format where its fast but not one coin flip decides the game would probably be the best thing for yugioh and getting people to play

i think Konami should watch your video lol so much truth was spitted here one love fam !!

Hey rhyme I totally agree with you as 1 yugi boomer to another. Also it's funny cause I watch all your master duel content then just found my son watching a 3 idiots vs Goku and Vegeta dbx2 video and thought that was pretty awesome.

I personally see nothing wrong in liking other older formats except GOAT and it was fun tbh a relaxing game or two after fighting for my life in MD is always nice, I personally returned to playing Yugioh since 2016 during MR4 format and I personally liked it despite it's restrictions. I never played Edison format and know nothing about it so I can't really say anything about it. I can only say to each their own I personally like MR5 despite the countless negatives and I understand why people might not like it and prefer older formats. Much respect Rhyme and God Bless you!

They should make an anime series format. Cards that where in those series and that era only but you can choose an unlimited option to add other era and mix and match.

Imagine opening up Master Duel and having an option to play ranked GOAT or the GX era or the 5ds era. Game has so much potential being wasted.

I miss when my pure(ish) dark world deck would be able to hang with at least locals ready decks.

How to play old format in modern era: 1. Normal Summon old card (Raioh/Fossil Dyna/Banisher of Radiance, anything you like) 2. Equip some spells (Mage Power is good old card, but I recommend Moon Mirror Shield, it's newer card but it's effect is simple enough I promise you. Basically your monster never lose a battle and it can recycle if it destroyed.) 3. Set some old traps (Solemn Judgment/Mirror Force) Now you can also compete using old cards. Oh and if you going second, try include old cards like Lava Golem or Duster.

Im 31 and i grow up with YGO until Today its my Favorite (NON) Video Game . I had a bunch of good Memories with this Game and to be honest it makes my sad Childhood a littel bit better. Anyways ... Dino im in your Team i play all Formats but the old one the slower ones are my favorite. Why ? Because 1/3 of your Decks are not Handtraps and it was every time possible to play. Mondern Day YGO is allways Turn one decides everything in 90 % . I miss this time when every Player tried to create his own Deck with his own Ideas . Sure Stabels like Call of the Hunted or MST was allways a thing but it dosent stop you from play .... WE NEED OLD FORMATS IN MASTER DUEl

So I’m an og player GX is my ish & im a hero player as a signature. But wth are these format names Edison, Goat, etc never heard them growing up I also play currently still too & in person but those format names never came up in my circle. Also it is satisfying breaking a board and even when I can’t knowing I had a deck that is versatile to handle that

I agree Rhyme, this game really needs to have more options to play so most don't feel secluded or left behind. Which is strange because most of the marketing for the game is those that remember the anime or enjoy classic Yu-Gi-Oh, but the game is so much different than it's actually advertised. Hell, I'm even attempting to make my own format with the card collection I have. I just really want Yugioh to succeed and not have so much discourse between players. This game is simply fantastic no matter how you look at it, it's something I'm sure Kazuki Takahashi would have wanted.

Haven't played in 15 years...but if formats came back I'd be back in a heart beat!! Or having a format where 2 players open 15 packs at random and a deck has to be made and duellll.
