Not as a Speed Duel product, that would kill the product line. Speed Duel is intended for Yugiboomers to get that sweep discount early MTG style of not playing the game, gaming experience. What those 4 decks would be good for, is an into product to teach people about the core special summoning mechanics, with actually good decks, rather than crap. Maybe throw in Spriringans (with all their new support) as an Xyz deck.

i have a box full of MTG duel decks and for a long time i wanted something similar for yugioh, problem is, structure decks are terribly bad for the most part and chasing decks in the while is a chore and sometimes, incredible expensive. (and you have to buy 3 structures to get something playable unlike mtg) i would totally buy non-competitive sets of decks themed around an era or playstyle, instead of random unplayable garbage.

Some of the twitch comments were right about Duel Links (as well as Speed Duel in general) There's been many times when they've made a skill or two that's made Yugiboomer archetypes (DM/BE multiple times, BLS somewhat recently, ect) somehow work, or even become outright dominant forces. If Konami wanted to grab the " 'member the anime " crowd, they should have sent them that way since it does a lot in that regard while being simpler in general Its only recently doing more to expand from that with Archive skills for non-anime decks and introducing more competent non-anime archetypes, but generally, DL/Speed Duels should be an in-road to YGO from the anime/nostalgia perspective

​​@@ryuuohdeltaplus7936And that's why Sky Strikers is getting a separate manga series as well additional support lately. Unfortunately people bitch and complain about more Strikers, groaning at the idea of new support for them and a series dedicated to them. I think the real problem is how divided this community is. We acknowledge our own problems and compare to MTG. Quite honestly with the way Hasbro and WotC have been treating the game and their own staff, the community is ignoring all that and still play the game for fun. YGO players can't do that. They focus too much what Konami is doing and then rage on the internet when nothing goes their way. We have multiple formats (I originally thought this was better for the community because MTG does it and the people that wanted multiple formats got it) and yet none of them matter in tournaments because they don't actively support it and default back to main tournament meta, people only care about the main banlist and it's main tournament plays. MTG have worse business practices but YGO has the worst community. This needs to be changed.

FINALLY someone says it. I NEVER understood why the animie decks are SO WEAK, when those are the posterboys of the game. Remember when Jeffrey won with his Exodia Deck last YCS? People outside of Yugioh reacted to that online. They were super happy about to hear that someone is killing it with an Exodia Deck. And I never understood why Konami doesnt see that. With Blue-Eyes and DM in the meta, you could easily bring in new players and spectators. Imagine Joschua Schmidt and Jesse Kotton, in a final of a YCS, with decks of Blue-Eyes and Dark Magician... this would be the most amazing duel ever. Konami really doesnt know how to handle their own game. Make Animie decks meta

Duel links has already had the main character decks being meta plenty of times, I genuinely don't want us double dipping into that pool for the TCG/OCG. Like even Fortune Ladies were once a meta threat because of one basic skill, and a smaller deck. Some things like that you can't exactly replicate on paper, like you could print a card that does what a skill does but it doesn't change the card economy for using it. Konami just needs to address their audience better. They know their audience but they don't really understand the fundamentals of getting new people in the game so they do, just that, preach to the choir. Vrains was probably where things peaked because almost every character deck from that show was meta at one point.

I don't think that you can compare a TCG to a video game. Like obviously it's much easier to understand the gameplay of a shooter than a complex TCG like yugioh. Like if a normie goes into a MTG stream and watches a tournament they also won't understand anything. Most TCG's need a certain degree of knowledge about the game to understand what's going on. Like watching someone playing Uno is one thing, seeing someone activating* engage 3 times in a row is another lol

To be completely fair to Paul, and in agreement with Farfa, he does bring topics to the table and promotes discussion within the playerbase. Farfa mentioning the difference between someone watching something like a League of Legends stream (or any MOBA or even Fighting game stream) and a TCG game stream makes me think of some sports. American Football is very straightforward and easy to follow (or Competitive Swimming, which is even more straightforward), while something like Baseball isn't as easy to follow and becomes more enjoyable to actually watch if you know some of, if not all, the rules of the game. So, yes, knowing context of what's going on absolutely helps with enjoyment. 14:57 I know two people that started playing Yugioh for the first time either last year or this year (comment created in 2023). Though, I believe one of them was familiar with the anime, at least, but plays Labrynth, while the other, more new to Yugioh in general, plays Mikanko.

Baseball is MUCH more simplistic, with far fewer perturbations and much less going on from play to play. Proceed.

I “played” and collected yugioh as a kid back in like 2002-2004. I basically completely forgot about the game until like 2015. And that was after years of playing magic and hearthstone with my friends. Then at that point I bought hero strike deck and blue eyes deck and only played with my gf basically. Then I took another break. Came back in like 2021 and actually started learning the meta game on KZfaq. And it’s taken me until NOW to actually grasp the meta game and actually top at my locals somewhat consistently. Two straight years of learning all the mechanics. I wasn’t doing it super religiously but I did it all because of what I remembered as a kid. I don’t think the average person, especially someone who doesn’t have some kind of rose tinted nostalgia glasses, is going to stick around for 2 years to finally be able to compete. Now, I know a lot of people wouldn’t need 2 years to learn, maybe I was a bit on the slow side, but I think most people with jobs and lives, it’s going to take a while to get up to speed

I get what Farfa was saying about buffing the anime archetypes, but that only works in a vaccum. We got 9000+ cards that can interact with each other in the worst ways. Just taking an example he said, if they were to buff Alexis'anime deck(which is cyberangel) it would either have to be a mountain of text to make it so that its is meta contintious while only playing well with itself and not being splashable or another deck entirely that can run the engine like drytron becomes meta instead of alexis' cyber angels(which again defeats the purpose).

So I'm one of those players that started playing YuGiOh through Master Duel that hadn't played the game since it was originally released in the west in the early 2000s; the last time I had played the game myself before Master Duel was when I was like 10 years old and my brother and I had those terrible fire and water structure decks. Now, I had been kinda getting back into the game before Master Duel by watching things like progression series, because those sort of draft formats that steadily add cards to the format are actually pretty easy for newcomers to watch and learn new cards. So by the time Master Duel came out and I tried playing it myself, I at least had an understanding of like...how each summoning mechanic worked, what a hand trap is, some combo terms the player base uses like 'garnet,' 'brick.' 'RotA,' etc. But the people that downplay the difficulty of this game by saying 'it's not that hard, just read' are infuriating. Even if the game's base mechanics are not that difficult, there are thousands upon thousands of cards that I had simply never seen before. I didn't have the luxury of learning how a lot of archetypes or staple cards worked as they came out, I have to learn them all from scratch. I've also noticed that sometimes there's a tendency for more veteran players to compare a new card to an older card with a similar effect, and while that can be useful...it doesn't help me. Most times people say things like "oh this is an 'armades' " I'm just left going "???" and have to go look up what Armades does as a card to see what that means. I could go on for hours about how shitty the advertising is for this game though. It really does need something like Arcane for YuGiOh imo. They have so many amazing characters that they do nothing with outside of the card game. Instead they just bait yugiboomers with duel monster era imagery and make more competitive players feel like they're ignored.

Love your dedicated comments and sharing, while the game can be overwhelming with card effects and interactions, it can be replicated at some point by the similar cards. Yugioh is definitely not a newbie-friendly card game or even friendly to casual players that spend a little time off after work to play and have to look at the paragraphs of text. It's more hardcore I would say but the Master Duel is doing 1 thing right is that the solo mode is the stepping stone player needs to understand the large world of Yugioh and interactions (People rarely play it since they want the PvP slow and casual experience more, which MD currently doesn't have besides the short events). My suggestion for you to just play the deck you love (especially the one from your childhood- Konami is doing great to bring back old archetypes e.g Gate Guardian) and improve it day by day, you might lose to some weird/annoying win conditions deck of burning, decking out (Runick), Combo Negation (Synchron and other combo Pile) but dont bring yourself down by it, just move on and forget that match, you'll learn from the experience and when you meet those decks back, you'll then know how to beat them convincingly ❤ Good luck with your journey and ignore the haters, condescending "Kaiba" from the community!!

I think it's an internet problem. I would argue this is something that isn't exclusive to Yugioh but is happening across multiple different hobbies. Combination of social media and online resources (wikias etc) is a double edged sword. It can make some more esoteric parts of getting into a hobby easier to learn but it also really amplifies the most hardcore of enthusiasts which the majority of people getting into a hobby simply aren't. It's like there's a difficulty to even get into the game due to complexity but also archetype locking (Yugioh is horrible for draft formats due to this reason) but also because it's the internet you don't have the smooth, natural process but instead get thrown into the deep end. You don't have like that slow discovery process of steadily upgrading your deck as you learn more about the game, you basically are given a recipe optimized for meta play (even if it's a rogue deck). The Salamangreat player whose turn 1 is Heatleo pass will get bodied against the meta but it'd probably be better for him, as a new player, to slowly grow to understand the Salamangreat deck himself even if he stumbles around and even tries stuff like Emerald Eagle, exploring the deck on intuition then later if he wants to get into the hardcore scene look up the meta build versus just being given the decklist and told, "Learn this one combo line."

The first mistake I see is handing a combo deck of any sort to a new player. If you are introducing someone, just hand them a pile of generic synergistic cards, or a deck like Vanquish Soul that has zero lines. For a generic deck: 1 RoTA 3 Marauding Captain 3 Expendable Dai 3 Command Knight 3 The Warrior Returning Alive 3 United We Stand 3 Upstart Goblin 3 Zombyra the Dark 3 Bottomless Trap Hole 3 Magic Cyclinder 3 Armed Samurai Ben Kei 3 Mataza the Zapper 3 Axe of Despair 3 Hidden Armory There, cheap, easy to pilot, no long combo lines. Just summon, equip, beatdown. Vanquish Soul can be pretty easy, but is not cheap due to the short printing. Normal razen, search a guy. Make link rock, special Madlove, search a backrow, set backrow cards, pass. And then they can read Ceasar and Borger and learn about tagging out

​@@GreatgoatonFire Yeah, that definitely also applies. If when Dawn of Majesty was announced you were like, "Oh man I loved 5D's and there's a new Stardust, I might want to pick up those packs and make a deck" if you didn't already have a majority of the Synchron deck ready, you wouldn't be able to build it off of that pack. Even if you include Duelists of Legend: Synchro Storm (which released shortly after Dawn of Majesty) you wouldn't have a lot of the core cards that make a Synchron deck such as Junk Synchron, Tuning, Junk Speeder or Doppelwarrior. I can understand why some cards are uncommon to reprint since they help Konami push product but for specific archetypes there really should be a method by which the older cards are readily available. Master Duel brought a ton of players back into the game and I would be willing to bet a LOT of the reason why it didn't convert as many people to paper play as it could have is because, well, a lot of them were playing decks that are pretty old and if they wanted to build their MD deck in real life they'd need to go through the process of navigating and meticulously buying every card in the deck on the secondary market. Imagine if Konami looked at the most popular Master Duel decks from launch and released a series of Structure Decks that built out the core of those strategies. Something like Eldlich, Striker, Dragonmaid, Drytron, Adamancipator, and Phantom Knights. By pure luck, the set of decks that I'd associate with "launch Master Duel" have a range of playstyles that tend to be fairly simple, each focus on a different mechanic and actually aren't awful to play pure (but only are particularly meta if mixed in with other engines) so someone only had the money for 3 structure decks and these products were available they could start getting into paper play immediately.

People play heroes because it’s the only nostalgic deck that has a possibility to do well and the fact people complain about plasma just tells me they have no idea about competitive yugioh , hey do you know that in any tcg event people run side decks filled with floodgates and have been for the past decade , and here you are crying about plasma a 3 tribute summon that is outed by nib and Kaijus which are almost always in every tier 1 deck not mentioning the side deck

I'm a yugi boomer who came back to this game 8 months ago after about 15 years and holy fuck was it hard to get back aboard. What hooked me back was basically these funny AI President playing Master Duel videos and the Heartstone meta being unfun af at the time. So I bought 3 structured deck to relearn the game and have fun (I'm pretty dumb so having physical cards help). It took me about a week or two to perfectly know my deck and combos. Then I jumped to Master Duel just to find out that my deck wasn't yet fully released there. so I did PvE games for like a month (seriously PvP was straight up unplayable). And now after finishing my deck I'm just stuck playing PvP casualy around gold elo. Tho I won't complain about my elo or whatever meta decks I see, but atm my main problem is how bothering learning to play other decks feels and there's a lot I want to play like the Mako Tsunami deck, Dino, Ninja, Dark Magician, Vanquish Soul... Also I did learn how to Link or Xyz pretty easily and made peace with Sychro summon but I'm still yet to even know what the fuck is pendulum about. Other issue I have with Master Duel compared to other virtual cards game like HeartStone or Legends of Runeterra is how bad interactions are displayed on the board, like I lost my whole turn's time so many times trying to figure out why my card's effect doesn't work...

I somewhat disagree with the notion that anime-style decks haven't been tiered in a long time. While it isn't much that way now, but back when mechanics were focused on the anime, we had a ton of playable, and meta strategies, birthed from the anime. We had Heroes, Salamangreat, Gouki, Blue-Eyes, Blackwings, Dark Worlds (more than once), Wind-Ups, Inzektors, etc. Some of these were played by relevant characters in the show, even if they weren't the most iconic. I think Konami did a pretty decent job at highlighting anime decks in a competitive space.

21:00 One other point to consider. Sky Striker is VERY easy for someone who is not super into Yugioh to understand. Most of the spell cards have 1 good effect that gets stronger with the spells in grave, which isn't too bad to grasp. Of course there is a lot of decision making that goes into a real competitive game, like what to search for. But you can "do stuff" with Sky Striker with almost anything. Compared to some modern decks, where its really confusing what goes into what? What am I searching for? Who am I summoning? It can be a complete minefield without a 10 minute+ tutorial.

@@TheArmyofHades yeah, it's part of why a lot of animators get paid so little. Here's a difference between Japan and the US. In Japan, the anime is an expensive advertisement for the source material. The One Piece anime exists to sell the manga, the DBZ anime existed to sell the manga, the Frieren anime exists to sell the manga and light novels, the Eminence In Shadow anime exists to sell Manga, Light Novels, Figures, card sleeves, deck boxes, play mats, posters, wall scrolls, and themed apparel and objects like water bottles or cups or whatever. In the US, it used to be similar, stuff like GI Joe, Transformers (basically all Old Hasbro properties) were toy lines that got an expensive, well written TV series to advertise for them. Star Wars was finally able to be produced on the idea of unique toys, merchandising rights, and being a Western in Space. The US basically said : toys are our money maker, sell them. Japan said : literature is our money maker, sell it.

I agree with most of what was said in this video outside of a couple Farfa takes. Long post inbound, so Tl; Dr - YGO is only hard if you don't take the time to study and practice I definitely think YuGiOh is easy in the sense that it doesn't require any sort of mental skill like hand-eye coordination or physical aptitude like speed or strength to play well, nor does it require much in the way of making predictions that are multiple moves in advance like Chess, due to the random nature of YuGiOh (at most it's playing around handtraps and other interruptions). Most duels are decided by the coin toss or the opening hands before any kind of "skill" comes into play. I'm going to preface my next statement by saying that it's not a very easy game to just pick up and play as a newbie or a returnee due to the sheer volume of cards and strategies; HOWEVER, it is a game that can be easily learned and easily returned to if you take the time to learn the meta, familiarize yourself with relevant cards and strategies, and practice the decks you plan on playing. I feel like most of the people who complain about YuGiOh being too difficult are those that just want to be able to take a deck out of a box or throw some nostalgic cards together and just have fun, which is doable when you're playing with your friends. But it's like a fighting game: you can pick up Tekken 8 when it comes out, get your buddies to come over and just have a blast in an unskilled showdown with zero stakes, but once you hit that online ladder (the equivalent of a YGO Locals) you're gonna get put into a blender to the point where you're not having fun anymore, because you're playing a different level of player. I feel that Konami is 100% the problem, but a lot of YGO players want a big return with little investment. They don't want to spend money on good cards and card archetypes, they want to netdeck and take the decklist of whatever players topped recent events and then expect to be able to automatically replicate the success, or they want to just build a strong "meta" deck without actually labbing it. In short, YGO is not difficult and many YugiTubers have proven that you can kinda be an overall dumbass and still have success in the game, but if you actually want to WIN, it takes investment. It's not a game like Exploding Kittens or Superfight where you can just take it out of the box and that's all you really need to win. But that's with any game with a competitive scene. If you want to be able to compete with the best, you're going to have to be willing to put the time and investment in like the best do.

So it's not just a yugioh TCG problem the ones who say that don't know about other games and the market for those games. Also yugioh is way cheaper now than it has been the people who don't realize this never played during DAD format or Dragon Ruler Format Dark Armed Dragon was $400 a copy and you ran 2 to 3 and each Dragon Ruler was over $125 and you ran 3 of each except redox which was the cheapest one so you ran 7 Dragon Rulers which would cost you more than a full top tier 0 or 1 deck currently so I'd say the price has gotten better just by doing simple math.

I gotta agree. If they made the stories that are putting into the decks into their own manga and sold them world wide, more people would likely pick up the game just for those cards. Imagine getting to see some of the manga art end up turning into an entire panel as the in between for each archetype's story has the gaps finally filled. Yugioh: The Fallen Dragon and the Priestess Yugioh: Hero of the World Chalice Yugioh: Traveler of a New Clear World All major stories that could easily be made into Manga with their card art as major pages of their stories but imagine stories for the archetypes that are known but not as explored in their own stories such as: Yugioh: Subterrors of the Hidden City Yugioh: Citadel of Magicians Yugioh: Allies of Justice Yugioh: Explorer of Labrynth All Worlds that could have stories centered around them or even explored through the eyes of a character there isn't a current card of to bring the archetype together. And this is how Yugioh would be able to get a fanbase again beyond nostalgia bait for the early 2000s.

They need to construct a deck base on it. Those cards still follows the current banlist and each player must have 1 unique boss monster in their deck. So now players will really need to be creative in making decks. No more 3-5 Bosses end board setup with multiple negates. Avoids 100% mirror matches. What do you guys think??

They've built up and made the game more intricate and hard over the years. This didn't happen over night. If they wanted to keep it for kids then they should have kept it simple.
