    I'm a returning player from when the game first came out. Used to play and trade at the local Books a Million. This is very funny that you decided to do this video. I live in VA and Cimooo has been promoting the Pro Play Tour stop in Richmond next week. I'm hesitant to commit, mainly based on knowledge of vast amount of Meta and Rogue strategies and my lack of experience with Side Decking and some other important play experience. But I've been sucked into the game and assembled a Top Tier Rogue deck. Love watching you Yugitubers and the live duels like the replay of the NAWCQ recently.
    I really rambled haha Thanks for making this video and I really like your channel and this one will definitely make me think about the upcoming tournament!

    • @RomeoBarnes
      @RomeoBarnes 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Most rulings are very simple. Just remember action words: Use, Activate, etc. and the keywords of the game. Your opponents will help you especially at a local level event no one actually cares about winning locals(bar a box tournament maybe). Locals is where you test your deck for high level events like regionals and ycs and since everyone wants the best testing they will help you become the best you can. It’ll get easier as the weeks go on.

    I can agree to this, stopped playing yugioh around the time synchros came out then came back and decided i want to give it a try again and went to my locals met some new people that helped me get back into the game and taught some of the mechanics that i missed mainly how pendulums and links worked an now we we see each other at locals maybe every week or say and have fun throwing together random decks for the tournaments. While it also showed me people that ive seen at my college and never talked to before and we bonded over the game and hang out a lot more outside of yugioh

    Me and a group of friends show up to every regional we can. It's awesome seeing the extremely rare cards some vendors have, meeting new people, and of course having a full day to play the game. I usually show up with at least 60 dollars. You might run into a toxic player or 2 in the first couple rounds, but after that most of them leave because they're X2 now and have no hope of an invite to nationals which is sadly all they are there for.

    I can agree fully. I was a newer player to the game, only fifteen years old, And I had a copy of Dingirsu. I was horrible with technology, so I could not sell it online, and I was afraid that my lack of a lot of Yugioh knowledge at the time would end up getting me scammed. But only did I meet these older people at my local card shop that were interested in the trade (of course) but they helped me work out the differences and refused to give me anything less that was not equal to The Dingirsu. They were really nice and not I am a regular at the tournament at the card shops.( up until recently of course)

    "Not everyone is going to shark you" "Not everyone is playing the big bad meta decks" "you can win Playmats in the highest events!"
    I Feel this is the most disingenuous message y'all have ever sent. To get to the prizes that you tout in this video, you have to get to the top cuts,
    and at the top cuts, YES, everyone is going to shark you, YES Everyone is going to be playing the Big Bad Meta decks.
    I agree that playing online, is not 'playing' yugioh, but anyone who has a competitive locals, or goes to the occasional regional will see everything I said above if they don't get knocked out before the top cuts start to happen.
    I realise y'all want to encourage casual players to aim higher, but videos like these are ridiculous coming from a team of players who have gone to regionals to YCS's, to WCQs for years, who are trying to convince casual players to make that leap.
    Being casual is fine, and hopefully, those casual players have a casual locals.
    Those of us in popular, metro areas have no choice but to play meta, because our locals bring in the regional teams, playing to win.

      THIS
      I stopped mid XYZ era having started playing competitive in the middle of the Synchro era. In the beginning, it was fun attending set release events but that’s it. That’s the only time when everyone’s enjoying themselves as well as winning a mat randomly (won two playmats at random) at my first event enticed me to keep coming back.
      I tried my best to attend weekly tournaments but eventually it left a bad taste for all you see are other casuals and then the regulars with top tier decks ALWAYS topping. At the time, I couldn’t afford a top tier deck and I slowly stopped attending altogether. There really isn’t any investment in time and money to play IRL imo. Even now, I could go out and buy a Sky Striker deck and possibly top but probably wouldn’t get too far considering the saturated player base using the same deck (or other top tier decks).
      Oh, and regionals is hella scary going in as a casual.

    Aight, I stopped playing when the new format came out. Had my Toad Dank Law Heroes at the time and is still my main deck. Question: is the deck still viable if I come back? I've been on the fence about it for years now, but the itch never goes away. So, yah or nah?!

    I wish I could but ones that are 3 hours or closer never on good days be it finals day or seminar days for college. And the only locals I have only starts at 8pm on Saturdays and it's a 45 minute drive to that. so leave at 7pm and on wont get home until 11-1130pm breaks my heart. I just want a chance to play the game I grew up on.

      Then give that locals a chance. Just do it once to find out if the drive is worth it and if the people are cool. One dude that goes to mine lives an hour away but he goes here almost every week because he loves this place and us.

    My biggest thing is when people swear. I have to listen to that at work all day, and I don't wanna have to listen to that while I'm trying to relax and have fun. Also you save a lot of money just playing online. Unfortunately being in a small town means you don't have a lot of choices on who you can play against

    Local tournaments are awesome, when I went my first time I got 4th with my Lunalight deck. Haven't matched that since but even then every time I've gone it's been so fun. My favourite experience is still my friend and I end up playing against each other at the end of the tournament. I take Game I've, He takes game two. Game three it looks bad, and I topdeck my sided Mystic Mine. It stalls out until he manages to pop it, goes for battle, and time is called. It felt so fitting
