![DO NOT PLAY THIS DECK! It Will Ruin Duel Links! [Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links]](/img/n.gif)
It's crazy how we're nearing a whole year with this game yet some aspects of it still feels unpolished and some fan requested modes(tag duels, draft mode, and legacy formats)are yet to be seen or implemented.
And the extra deck slots feel like they could have been implemented earlier or even at launch but they some how forgot people could have multiple decks or version of decks.
I've recently started playing mtg arena and I get what you feel. I really want to see draft mode or limited formats in master duel
tag duels are a real pain, i don't think you want to encounter handtraps and floodgates in that format. imagine losing and blaming it to your tag partner... or someone disconnects... or lags...or surrenders. it won't be a nice ranked experience, and possibly not a fun unranked experience either.
draft mode is never seen before in YGO, the closest thing is Loaner deck only duels...
MD is meant to showcase modern yugioh, so... Konami focuses on new, legacy formats probably won't be a thing unless you host one yourselves (i'm sure some old fans have)
@@sagii1372 that being said mtg arena is expensive, you loose your first draft, you arnt getting another one. i don't particularly like that model. but i do like the extra game modes and tournaments, fortunately master duel has less oppressive pricing so i think 1000 gems for a ticket could be fun.
Yeah I agree with a lot you said. Me personally i’m just tired of playing the Negate game more than anything to be completely honest. I have no issue with people trying to stop you or having a couple but there are tryhards who try to setup an entire board of negates for you to not do anything at all and that’s very trash imo. How do you have fun just basically playing the game by yourself at that point.
Well, that's less the game of Master Duel and more the game of Yu-Gi-Oh. Modern YGO is make a big board that poses the main question of "Can you out this?" If you can't, well you lose on the crack back, but if you can, you either win on the spot or you simplify the game state so much that your grind game takes over and can win.
MD's animations make this a little bit better but the spectical wears off when you face a hahafunny combo deck that toes the line of running into their timer to make big funny board.
Main reason MD failed IMO is due to them having this unique banlist, and them trying to be greedy by staggering releases. The game should have had a toggle for TCG or OCG banlist and a cardpool that is at least up to date with the TCG. The TCG is already 3-4 sets behind the OCG, MD being 3-4 sets behing the TCG is unacceptable. Like, who is really looking forward to 6 months of Tier 0 Tearlaments starting in Feb/March?
Tears is going to deliver the final blow to Master Shit. Tears are already unfun to play against our TCG current format. Pllaying them on MD in a best of 1 format is going to make so many people rage quit especially what casuals are left on MD in not wanting to play the game anymore.
One thing that masterduel is lacking is they lacks of events. In dl events in every one or two weeks, but in masterduel is monthly
once a month but it lasts for 10 days.........seriously komoney?
@@eminiclam yea, I straight up don't have time with work and stuff to do events. It's always in a very inconvenient timing every damn time
@@eminiclam well you can't blame it because Master duel just released this year, it will take times to make masterduel big as duel link with a lot of events not monthly, maybe every 2 weeks it will get new events
@@jtakahara they could easily rerun old events like DL does but noooooooo, let's continue to do a 10 day event a month after TEN MONTHS since the game got released.
They just don't want to give us gems, thats all, hell, they reduced the number of gems per event lately.
@@eminiclam no man, i think it still the same amount of gems that we get as reward from the events. If you said the small reward gems i think is from the event that put ranking system as on the ranking match, if that event then i feel that to. It gave small amount gems yet it's hard because of ranking system
Ah master duel the game people thought would kill dl
Lol yup and look what is happening now.
I remember that lol. I never listened and glad I didn't.
I love masterduel a lot than dl, because it use player skill to play not like dl player use characters skill, there's crafting cards and for the most important thing is is easy to farming a tons of gems, for example in dl for a month player only get 300 - 500 gems beside from events. But in masterduel player get 4340 gems in a month beside from the events
@@jtakahara This would be a compelling argument if the game was actually fun but in fact it's not, How fun is it to play a deck that you wanted to try out you put the deck together only for turn one for your opponent to completely lock your entire board prevent you from playing the game and then destroy you the next turn, There's nothing fun about that in fact it's demoralizing at least with dual links You have a chance of actually winning and having fun while on the flip side master duel makes you feel like you are exhausted when you win you don't feel though like you accomplished anything you feel like you just went through a sweatshop with no silver lining
@@dwightgreene1361 isn't it the same as dl, just make you get the first turn just simple as that
The grind and the awful odds to get the necessary cards to build a deck is tearing on me. The fact that engines like Adventure or archetypes that were in those timegated selection packs (Swordsoul/Despia) didn't get a secret pack, atleast so that people who couldn't get them at the time could atleast gamble and get something with some gems it's bad game design and makes the game worse for someone who wants to get into the game now or if they had missed out.
I'm starting to get into EdoPro now because waiting almost a month to buy packs to hopefully build a deck or two it's obnoxious and boring at this point.
You shoukd play edopro first anyways. Masterduel is its own meta and audience. Treat it as the "alternative format" Because people wish alternative formats not realsising Masterduel is the perfect alternagive. Different rulings, different cardpool, bo1, different banlist, etc
Couldn’t agree more about classic mode. It was such a missed opportunity for the OGs. I still get nightmares from Drytron negates back in season 1 lol😂
Also MD needs more gem incentives for players to stay on their game. The bots ruined this aspect for everyone.
The reason I quit MD early on is twofold.
The first, is the activation prompts and animations, while good looking, are really, REALLY slow. It's very annoying.
The second is a lack of single player content or grindability. The single player lore trees are really nice - but it also has 0 gameplay diversity besides using different decks and playing multiple of those trees in a row sucks the life out of one's soul. The rewards for them is also so low that it doesn't make it worth it to want to delete myself trying to grind for gems. The "events" are also extremely same-y and boring. It's just the same event with a different banlist... every. single. time. Add some kind of extra gimmick to it every once in awhile (doesn't have to be meta-impacting, just something fun and quirky every few weeks or months).
It just overall makes for a very shallow and not-fun experience for me. It's just a slow yugioh gacha game simulator that's a few months behind the TCG (which itself is already behind in card pool). I can get my fill of master rule 5 duels with free online simulators. If they want me to spend money on the gacha game, or even just play it for more than a couple of weeks, they need some actual, interesting content outside of slow AF PVP.
The crafting is nice, but again - I can just slot in 3 copies of any card in the game on any given unofficial simulator with 0 time and grinding required.
You make great points in this video. I hope konami is taking notes…….
Mostly the game needs more content/things to do
Kinda feel this game is in a weird spot. The hardcore/competitive players think it’s too casual without in game BO3 and leaderboards, while the casual players feel the standard ladder is still too much for them and they just wanna play some janky decks with other casual players.
I understand Konami wants to attract as many people as possible, but players have very different tastes so their attempt to attract both hardcore and casual players looks really bad.
@@charleslindita8635 Bingo... That is why it failed. They had no clue who their target audience was, and they ended up driving both the casuals and hardcore people away.
@@dennisheyes4561 They knew it pretty damn well, they advertised MD as a game for competitve players when they 1st announched it. They just realised after a while that they killed that part of the playerbase, by making MD a BO1 with it's own format and outdated card pool, so they went for the people which stayed. Which were a few sweaty tryhards and casule/rogue players.
i reach die 1 with fucking live twins. Bo means anydeck can win
It's just crazy that we have MD but we still need to use not official simulators to play online tournaments because we are almost a year behind of the real game.
Aren't we lagging behind in the TCG too?
It's 6 months, isn't it?
Master Duel also has some of the worst prices for purchasing gems in mobile game history, around Bleach Brave Souls level which definitely helps their sales being bad. Speaking of sales, THEY NEVER HAVE THEM ANYMORE
no they do have sales still...theyre just not worth what they're asking for lol. especially cause you cant just buy a card you have to buy a shit ton of packs and dismantle them to make a 40 card deck and even then somehow youre still missing points for your normals because every pack has 1 normal and like 8 rares. how is a normal more rare than a rare? shit sometimes i feel like SR is more common than normal cards.
You mean genshin impact level bad.
I bought a few of the gem packs with discounts, got absolutely SHIT pulls and never bought them ever again lmao
at least on TCG if I buy a box, even though it's expensive, I'm almost 100% sure to get some value back... like the box that had DPE I pulled one and basically paid for the whole box even though I wasn't going to use the card
I feel like the biggest factor about master duel really is because of its predictability. the meta is the same as the tcg or ocg and everything is solved. in duel links people were running multiple variations of salad decks and now that mekk knights are in the game, there are so many variations and the decks arent solved yet. imagine if master duel just unbanned the dragon rulers and released sprights without tear and make some major change that shakes everything up
It released with things like Rhongo and VFD unbanned.
The game is essentially a 10 minute wait fest of watch your opponent try and make a board that tells you no. And you do the same.
Negate negate negate.
The game as a whole is in a bad state.
No one wants to play a game where they are told no all the the time.
There's a reason in the Magic community control players are the most hated group without competition.
People want to play a game. No ask people's permission for everything.
We want the anime duels with good back and forth heart of the card moments. Not conceding when we get negated the third time in our one turn we get to play.
When they marketed a game like "E-Sports YGO" then that's unrealistic. Cry about it :P
I gave up on this since they never sorted it on mobile devices, but generally with such a focus on "engines" and a massive dependency on going first or not it wasn't that enjoyable
My opinion: Duels become extremely tedious because of the animations, i think it would be simple to add an option to completely turn them off (like edopro but slower and more polished.)
Mine: duels become extremely tedious because of slow players, intentional (trolls, bots...) and non intentional (slow connections, mobile...)
ps: i know you arent talking about summon animations but you can already disable those in settings if you didnt know
@@Matilda32664 Yeah I know, for me the animations (that you can't disable) are acceptable for like 2 games, but become a problem If I wanted to set down a couple of hours to finish an event or climp the ladder, your points are very true tho.
Shut up you're just a sweaty nerd
@@Matilda32664 JUST FUCKING ALLOW PC PLAYERS TO TURN OFF CROSS PLATFORM, I DON'T WANT TO PLAY WITH SLOW ASS CONSOLE AND MOBILE PLAYERS, MAJORITY OF PLAYERS ARE ON PC
@@vgggvvhcc3387 imagine complaining about 2 second long animations.
Duel Links is still king! Let's go!!!
Now add crafting damn it!
I do enjoy the aesthetics of solo mode, but as far as some "fun" stuff, events can be worth the time although is anyone getting tired of the fact that we do have these events that things like Maxx "C"/Ash or any of the generic hand traps just defeat the purpose of a fun event mainly with having to play the "best" deck possible (i.e. Tri-Brigade, Swordsoul, etc.). There's a reason why N/R Festival was the most fun I had in years.
you pretty much have to use their loners and then just do what the game tells you you can do- and solo mode past the gladiator beasts just teaches you that you have to be a try hard or hope the opponent has a brick hand. there was a normal rare festival tho? where was i? cause that would have been DOPPPEEEEE
@@justicerowe2005 Yup, there was. All N/R cards were used with NO S/R, so the creativity was there even though things like Gadgets were probably the best deck, but not overwhelming either.
@@TheMeetymeet infinitrack gadget was pretty good but it was also easy to counter, cards like forbidden chalice would "break" their board for example since their gameplan was basically make a big xyz that has some battle/destruction protection and sit on it
I remember the only times I lost to that deck was when I had a super terrible hand (btw I played pendulum magicians during that event)
@@findout2655 That's the thing. You were able to still play and also not suffer against an overwhelming board. You had options that didn't feel so limited and even though it may have been powerful, it may not have been the end of it all either.
Master Duel is too complicated for casuals and too casual for the hardcore players. Its impossible to keep the casuals cause you cant change the game fundamentally, even if you introduce draft or lob formats, the people that played when it first came out just played it for the nostalgia, maybe some got reintroduced but most of them left after a month or two. The only way for Konami to save the game, is to focus on the people that would play the game long term and that are the hardcore fans, that want BO3s, more tournament support and alternate formats, but those have to be in rotation splitting the player base for those wouldnt work, im mean look at team battles last time I tried I couldnt find any team mates.
I agree, building a deck and mastering it takes too long for casual players.
They need to allow daily achievements with team battle not just in ranked mode
That's the typical modern player way of understanding things completely backwards.
The vast majority of people (me included), the so called "Yugiboomers", just don't like modern Yu-Gi-Oh, and it has very little to do with it being "complicated". Why would anyone want to get deep into the game's weird and complex ruling just to play something they dislike to begin with. I only got deeper into the rulings to play retro formats. Anything past 2014 Hat format, i don't give a shit about.
Something more creative like a regularly updated draft/sealed format, would have absolutely helped people stick with Master Duel more and keep it installed; it didn't need to be perfect, just fun enough.
@@IYIosefu Im not talking about yugi boomers, instead people who are completly new or have only played schoolyard ygo 20 years ago. When I say the game is to complicated i dont mean that they cant learn it at all but its too off putting to begin with because of the complexity.
sadly best of 3 wouldn't be viable with slow ass mobile players
Been playing Yu-Gi-Oh for years. I played old school, DL, modern TCG, and here master duel. I agree with a lot of stuff but I love the game of "Yu-Gi-Oh" so much I played both competitively and casual in TCG and master just because I can. I'm a new father so I don't have the time to go out to tournaments and build decks so Master Duel has been a fun outlet for me. The game truly just needs more content and care to get people in. All the bugs need to be fixed and they 100% need the best of 3 that is truly in my opinion the best way to know if your actually good at the game because skill comes from deck building and side decking. P.S. Rye I think there should be a separate testing mode for people to learn decks instead of the game throwing people out in rank mode and losing turn 1 because they don't understand how their own deck works.
You can only get Maxx C'd or some other bs so many times before you check out for good tbh
Both Duel Links and Master Duel need more versions of person versus person combat, more player versus A.I. interaction, and a sense of balanced progression. I'd love to see stuff like we saw in the various anime where one cocky dude could take on three of his friends, or stuff like Wave duels in duel links where players have to defeat multiple enemies before they're declared the victor.
For me lack of event is the reason why master duel is kinda dead and if I want free to play then I'll just go and play edo pro or dueling book.
"most players online probably are bots" - sadly the truth. The other day I climbed from silver to gold and more than half of the games were self tk bots...like, it was weird when I actually faced a "real deck".
Imagine being new to the game and half the time you go on this "competitive pvp ladder" your opponent tries to lose as fast as possible.
why do they lose? whats their goal?
These are very interesting and good takes.Especially the banlist point.
I knew it wouldn’t work because playing tcg in person is bad you basically see someone go for a long time and then make a unbreakable board but doing to a screen is so much worse
Konami has become the anime villain Yugi and his friends were against in the first 5 seasons. Why believe in the heart of the cards when you can buy your way in?
This game is mad expensive after the free gems dry up!I keep wondering if EA has a part in this because this gem and crafting points system is predatory asf.
Basically YU-GI-OH is kind of dead, not just the games, sad to hear it, but it is what it is
nah dl is still live and kicking its mostly md
Real life is still on going, duel links are fine, but master duels are not doing great. I left the game for a month and only waiting is tears to come out I return. I did enjoy the pranks, shaddoll, the birds and branded archetype.
Nah the TCG is fine
Duel links had the luxury of having many new cards, because you started at level 1. A starter deck, like 2 packs you could select from in the beginning. A ranked mode and events that rewarded gems and that was it till next month. Master duel gave out too much of the modern format to a point where you’re probably better off playing the physical card game since it’s a full year ahead. No legacy format where a card like silent swordsman or amazoness is the meta to spice up something new.
I feel like better events and a more impactful banlist would help. Like hitting more than 5 cards would go crazy. Other than those, giving rewards like duel links does would make people feel like that have something to play for aside from daily and grinding to ranked every 3 months.
People don’t get that md killed dl md showed what dl is missing and dl is showing what md is missing so people trashing on both but dl does not won I see non dl content anymore in my page on TH-cam dkayed switch to md was huge and it had a huge impact on what people playing
Nah man, we love your rant videos! It's all our isues with Master Duel in video form! We want more Ryi!! +Give us classic GOAT format Yu-Gi-Oh!, Konami!
Yes more ryi
In all fairness, I downloaded it and played a few of the tutorials. I went right back to DL. DL I think has the most convenience. I think the sad part is that Dkayed changed over to MD with little to no DL content
Well he probably makes more doing it. So can't blame him there
Duel links is more dead lol
The cost 4 gems purely made me quit together w players spamming "top tier" decks. Its just souless. And prays on our wallets
To this day I still can't even play Master Duel on PlayStation because of a stupid error/glitch. Look up "Yugioh Master Duel Data Transfer PS4 / PS5 - Unable to Play" (to understand what I'm talking about). It's absolutely embarrassing.
Did this man just say the current meta isn’t terrible? I remember once upon a time it took more than 3 turns to win a game. Yea man, it’s so fun to sit for 9 minutes and wait for my opponent to get done with their 30 card combo on turn one. Than it’s my turn and I take 9 minutes to finish my turn, and whoever has the better combo wins.. game two.. play two hands, game over. I remember when I actually had to think ahead and predict not just my opponents next play, but mine as well.. not just “oh well, I know for a fact I can summon a boss card on my first turn without even looking at my hand.. I sacrifice, than I special summon, than I draw 3, than I normal summon, than I fusion summon, than I sacrifice, and than add a spell card, than I summon from my deck, than I sacrifice, to special summon, than I link summon, than I sacrifice, than I… JUST OVER AND OVER AND OVER… trash.. garbage.. what a complete joke.
It blows my mind Konami hasn’t done major tournaments for Master Duel. Like this game should have had a main event at a YCS and they could do remote duel YCS for this game frequently. The OTS scene for this game is nonexistent also and when you combine that with the baffling lack of a side deck or best of 1 and it’s not a very competitive game and it’s not driving the top players to play it cause with no competitive scene there isn’t much to do. Almost a year later we are just now getting a Master Duel Invitational when it should have happened when the game came out
i thought team battle was going to be WAY different. i thought that it was going to be similar to the labyranth duel from duelist kingdom (minus the laybryth) like 2v2 and you could help each other out....nah...its 3 1v1s....so its really not a team battle...
If MD was out in 2020, then it'd be used because of covid, but because now we can go out and duel in regionals ect. there's a lack of reason to play MD
I think MD suffers from “Release and Done Syndrome” that’s plagued video games for awhile now.
I mean, these days games are commended when the developers continue to update their product. Like that’s some applause-worthy feat, rather than what every developer should be doing.
Edit: The fact that DL does so well just tells you how much desire for a good digital Yugioh game there is, because DL is both extremely limited *and* Gacha as all hell.
I keep sticking w/ MD, hoping for a turnaround, because I don’t see a truly superior option, but the dissatisfaction grows more w/ every month.
The superior options are the unofficial sims, the fans actually know how to do it right. lol
I agree with the duel links banlist, this is not TCG/OCG, I also think they should add a section of cards that can't be played in the same deck, cause sometimes certain combinations of cards are what's broken.
If they just added a draft mode I would spend hours playing the game each day. Currently it's just log in, do dailies to get gems which I don't even spend.
I still enjoy MD. Am just disappointed that they continue to waste it's potential. They've done some good, made improvements, but it's not enough. Not having anything competitive, tournament mode (which was leaked long ago), and no worlds far as we know. DC cup is pretty meaningless if there's nothing worthwhile for topping. I def agree that kcc style is a bad system itself tho.
I'd also hope for them to close the gap in terms of where the TCG is. Also events should be much more frequent. The banlist I don't think is a problem at all. Especially since it's monthly now.
Imo, we still need new game content, quality content and more hype content. Mainly on the competitive side.
Who would guess a game where you spend more time watching people play than actual getting to play would do so badly?
It's not really dead to be honest, I've still enjoy it. Besides it have a way better format than duel links.
yes yes that's my point
You mean salad simulator?
Not dead to you. Dead to most people.
Maxx c is the main reason why I am not taking this game seriously anymore . Short unfun interaction when activated, if turn 1 player actives it makes going second extremely unfair , and promotes a tax on deck building.
- elo rank system for ladder
I don't know it's the good way for card game, but elo system is the best way to measure players skill
- classic mode / legacy format or whatever you call it
Surely will bring back the older fans, just like you've said. Or maybe some Forbidden Memories mode could work (summoning lvl 8 monster without tribute lol)
- implementing OCG/TCG cards with just two or three weeks from their official release
Could be the end for ygo simulator out there like omega, db, edo and anything else. But I think with this Master Duel could be an esports just like konami wants to
The way I see it its not really dead, or alive. It’s just there 🤷🏽♂️
this last box was horrendous, not even a event, literally free gems didnt get players back
Ryi preaches the truth. I can't really disagree with anything said here. Well put together, Ryi!
I quit simply because I felt a bit overwhelmed by everything in terms of actual gameplay and the game had felt really generic and faceless.
bro I logged on for the 1 year anniversary for the first time since MARCH of last year, they added like 30 new cosmetic items in that year, and we are STILL behind the actual physical game, I know they wanna milk the content a bit and have fun with it. Does Konami just want Yugioh to die already??? They put like no effort into anything to do with the game anymore except for the occasional good banlist every couple of formats
Given that I couldn't find any cards in stores anymore or have a LGS that plays the game master duel is the only option for me to play yugioh
Literally not true, you still have DL and unoffical online sims like DB, ygo omega or edopro.
@@bl00by_ DL is not the same and I'm referring to official ways of playing the game
I cannot play the game anymore because of connection problems/ server always goes down and I play warzone without lag,but MD I cant play anymore because the game does not let me finish any duel It always lose connection.
As expected people massively overvalued how fun and popular outdated tcg simulator would be. Crafting your first deck or two is easy and fun but what about after honeymoon period. It's pvp only game where people don't want to play current format pvp as it's long, sacky and unfun. Events ended up being same thing with expanded banlist, often even worse due to various exploits and unfun decks people would bring.
It desperately needs alternate formats, more fun and engaging weekly missions, more polish and some form of competitive component that's more challenging and rewarding. And even with that it's gonna have hard time bringing in new players.
I refuse to pay for secret packs. I'd be very, very pissed if i paid money for secret packs only to get no UR's.
The game gets stale so I just constantly try new decks on new accounts just to try have fun
I disagree. I don't believe master duel is dead free to play game. I'm open minded therefore I'm just don't think it ain't possible as such. Even tho it can be possible.
Master duel isn't dead I know it ain't
Saying it’s dead is hyperbole but the overall sentiment is true, it’s on a steep decline.
*inhales copium*
It is perfect and more live than ever!
@@miguelgototelli the player count and player activity rates have declined more than they ever have actually
But hasn’t it still more players then dl haha people telling Md is dead and dl is alive that’s just not true
100% agree with this take brotha
master duel is totally FTP
The crafting system alone makes me never wanna play DL lol.
@@Bulbasaurite I know right like bruh master duel is better than duel links like I love you for saying that completely thank you!!!
Thats about the only aspect I like about MD over DL
Master duel is free to play until you run out of Cards to break down and convert then once you run out of those and you run out of resources then you're forced to actually pay money in order to pull through packs to get cards that hopefully will make your deck better, At least with dual links no matter what you're gonna find this really fun strategy that could when you a few matches, duel links matches Also Go by pretty fast with it rarely ever reaching the amount of head scratching hair pulling time that master duel duels usually go on for I never have to sit there for 10 minutes put my controller down and pick up my phone to play dokkan battle And sit there like a vegetable until my opponent finally finishes their turn when I'm playing duel links
Not to mention on top of that I have to sit through that extremely long turn my opponent just did only for me to realize that they've basically filled the entire board with negates and board wipes I'm forced to quit meaning that I wasted so many minutes of my life to do absolutely nothing
I think Konami needs to cater to mobile users more. The mobile market carried DL. I don't play MD as much cause its trash on mobile. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.
Same MD is unplayable on mobile. & even if it were could you really play for 5 minutes when you're out while taking a break.
I clearly Play on my Xbox
Would play the game way more if i didn’t get “connection failed” randomly
The OTK nightmare
11:00 thats actually the reason im leaving duel links, the ban list tend to favor a few decks
cyber slash
photon galaxy
dark magic circle (dark magician)
this all you see thanx to the bans
i think they need to revert back to about GX cause that's literally what 99% of players last remember, and then theyre just flooded with xyz, synchro, link, and pen. duel links was cool when it first came out with older cards (even tho its a really watered down version) but now...its pretty lame too. everything is OP...the reason why id say that GX needs to be the standard was because they made balance steps that i totally agree with. they replaced monster reborn with cards like auto action unit, (pay 1500LP to special summon a monster from your opponents GY when this card is destroyed destroy the monster and vise versa) monster reincarnation (monster reborn but it gets added to your hand) etc.
as to where now....there's literally no balance. monsters are now spells traps and monsters and hand traps and a reach around herky jerky from Abraham Lincoln.
im not gonna say that everything new is bad...just 90% of them. cause unless youre playing the newest cards and spending 100 hours in game just for your first turn...you get where im going...
honestly the only thing keeping me on there is that i showed a friend and we try to stay before about 2010 cards...but hes new so he uses cards like red eyes baby dragon, because he doesnt understand why thats a powerful card compaired to duelist kingdom or battle city or GX standards...and both of us dont really understand (compaired to where were at currently) why pot of greed or change of heart is banned. i mean even when i use mimiking man eater bug, hell get a bit annoyed because it cant be destroyed by battle or by effect by anything that he has because it cant be destroyed by what im mimiking. i play swordsoul online not because i like it...but because its the only thing i find that actually works half the time. and really im just playing the same combo ovedr and over again instead of being like...hmm celtic guardin? what can i use this with? well use sogan and banner of courage and maybe an equip card. or ooh black luster ritual i hope i get the black luster soon....nah theyre like of if you have two dragons, doesnt matter what, you can fusion the first of the dragons....(todays standards its ass, i know) like its just stupid. i dont understand why theyre brain dead on what balance is. why do i even have the option of using disc magician if there is no hope if you have him in your deck. in all honesty i hate just about EVERYTHING after GX. ive learned how they work and its not that i dont get it...its that i don't care cause its boring, stupid, tedious, and an OBVIOUS cash grab. that like maybe 1000 people actually want just so they can feel like they paid $150 for a card so they should be able to win every game....thats not a game, thats a vending machine printing a "YOU WIN" ticket.
I am an old Yugioh player. I feel like the modern is just too OP and unbalanced in so many way. Special summon monsters are not that special where Synchro, Link and Pendulum, and sort of Effects summons are just too much. I say I could be fine with them summon 30 times to make 5 powerful monsters. I can still use spells and/traps to clear or stop them. But here is the problem, all those monsters all have some effects that can negate the spells/traps, and then still draw cards, and special some more back to the field. It is just ridiculous.
Another point is when those monsters are out, then end turn. So the other player try to summon pretty much the same way but they cannot due to the effects. so basically, whoever for those out first WIN. or most of the time, one player brick, they surrender. NO FUN.
I agree with the classic mode for older generation. Or make them cards being strong in attack point, but no effects. Like the good old BLUE EYE WHITE DRAGON. Players can use several cards/effects to summon them, but still being afraid of spells and traps.
Anyway, let's hope for some changes in the future.
I wonder if we could add friends and just play them cards together? my game id is voker
Duel links is not fun is a tedious grinding game for cards duel links is not accessible and very expensive, i play duel links btw
try playing masterduel. you will have to wait 10 or 20minutes for your opponent turn.
I used to play a lot and spent money too but got tired of the grind...
the one great thing about Duel Links is the anime aspect
Classic Ryi-Rants. Never gets old. 👍
Nothing by yugi boomers and casuals in this comment section
TRUE
I think this is the first time I see a person complaining a free to play game,is bad for not being grinding and have to pay to win.
Is so much easier to make decks in MD,just wish they had more cards.
But it's not a fun game, I spend a ton in DL and never spent in MD. I have fun beating up the NPCs, I get to play decks I could never play in Ranked. Not including events where you can test out different strategies without penalties. I would rather have the MD system with DL features.
Free to play doesn't necessarily mean Fun to play for everyone
Some people like grinding. There is a reason jrpgs are popular.
There's just no reason for me to play Master Duel. Card games are best enjoyed on the go killing some time.
On PC I'm playing Assassin's creed or other AAA titles, not fn card games.
They still make those games?😂
@@eleonarcrimson858 AC is the only thing Ubisoft does nowadays, besides random Rabbit games lol
According to Google trends, yugioh has been falling in popularity since 2011. Its also been overtaken by MTG since then.
@Elico 2589 they made it for babies! Not children, but kids that are just out of infancy. I mean, Gagaga Gagagigo ffs!
Yu-Gi-Oh Sevens is set in elementary school, yet the original Yu-Gi-Oh was set in high school, probably seniors. They treat their fans like children when most of us are 18+.
This whole vid could be called legacy of the duelist was the GOAT ygo sim of the last few years
Wow. The algorithm has NOT been sending me your vids. I almost forgot about DLE.
I remember People saying :Dl WiLL DiE cUz oF MaStEr DuEl
I can tell you MD will never last as long as DL
That's disappointing. I've been playing Duel Links off and on since release, and while I enjoy the "speed format", I was hoping to delve into what a full format might feel like. And hoping it could be as simple as playing aginst AI if you'd like, but not solely focuses on Ranked Mode
Ok I know I haven't even started playing, but they went for 5v5 before attempting tag matches?
My issues are no rewards after maintenance updates. Solo mode’s rewards are lackluster.
Its modern yugioh card design that was destined to kill this game. Which I called when MD first came out and I got attacked for it. Watching your opponent take 15 mins to set a board with hand traps that doesn’t allow you to play is not fun.
Duel links doesn’t have this problem making it the superior game imo.
Right, it's not like a huge number of people was and still is playing exactly that kind of stuff on unofficial sims.
I agree the DL banlist system would be better, but it is controversial. The game could be bo1, but should be played like game 2 of a bo3. Coin flip, look at opponent's main and side, 1 min to side then duel.
I just want old yu gi oh back all these pendelum xyz summon bullshit is just not even appealing as a old nostalgic player. give us and OG yugioh mode where we can have 30 minute games full of 1500-3000 hp monsters . OG yugioh man
The game doesn't make any money because the greedy bastards charge you an insane amount for gems. I play the game irl and I can usually put together a deck for about 60 bucks but in master duals 60 bucks doesn't get you shit.
And everyone thought master duel was going to kill edo pro, it did killed duel linls tho
How? Duel links generates more money then MD
Killed duel links? Lol how. That game gets more update and love from Konami than master duel. And with the recent addition of links I’d say it’s doing just fine with plenty of content to come
@@CatPhil Have you a proof for that ?
I would love to see some numbers
Thanks for the video.
Was trying to figure out why i enjoy duel links more and somehow dont wanna get into master duel.
Prefer duel links just more.
I haven't played the game for months now , I guess I stopped early September . I update it then close it . When I think about playing I feel it is such a drag . I don't have energy to explain why . But gems are you there
As a Master Duel player who never played TCG or OCG, this game is still feels fresh and awesome. I am learning the rulings, archetypes, and what not, this being helped by the automatic resolving of effects by the game. The gem gain has been not terrible and with the game being free-to-play friendly, assuming you play every day, I've been able to create decks and open secret packs every month or so, which is awesome. I like the format in Silver and Gold rank where there is a lot of diversity. I disagree with altering the banlist because I would want to play the TCG/OCG the way it was, and for players like me, there isn't that feeling of knowing completely what future formats are going to look like, although I can imagine the other side of the story. I like the more conservative approach that the OCG banlists has and wouldn't want archetypes to be banned and unplayable, so frequent but no drastic changes by the banlist, although I may be saying otherwise if I was a competitive player is platinum or diamond. I agree with the different formats, some kind of draft format that you can play endlessly and gain gems seems like something that would freshen the game up for such players and act as a side thing aside from the main ranked ladder. Original solo stories, basic emotes, and one turn kill puzzles, are things I would also want to see. The festivals do need some improvement but creating new decks just for an old format seems quite exhaustive even if the cards were free and what not... better and more rental decks might help in that case. Overall, great video, I was searching for in depth reviews of Master Duel uploaded recently now that the entirety of the game has been unvealed and the general fow and vibe understood.
Ironically, Master Duel may have been the best gateway for new players to start playing modern Yugioh, in my opinion. I do believe there has to be stuff to please each of the player base: competitive, old-school, lore enjoyer, casual, and new players.
@@jamesmyco103 the best one for new players is duel links.
For me personally, I hope they can release reward for casual mode where I want to tried new stuff, personally the aspect of yu gi oh I like is to tried out new stuff and learned how to use it efficiently and rank did not gave that experience at all. For rank, I just can't get over the fact that negation is so easy now on these deck like Baronne. It's just make the game repetitive and non sensical to play. You don't need a good hand to fill out your board with negation and omni negate at that. It's just making it so fatiguing playing this game as there are no reward for playing casual mode. And I look at my match history, and most of it end under 4 turns either I got negated my whole hand and surrender or my opponent surrender cause I maxx c or ash. So I really not enjoying the game format they provide right now.
Wouldn't duel links make more money by default, just considering how you obtain the cards?
Not when md was at its peak. We feared DL was gonna die the first 3 months.
duel links won the battle. remember how every duel links yugituber changed the content, channel's names, etc, freaking out because Master Duel was going to "kill" duel links? funny!
Fr
It did though, just now master duel is dying as well. People simply won’t play yugioh anymore
Add Co-op Tag Duel Campaign mode with limited cards pool.
My friend bursted out laughing when you said master duel is casual
Why?
Exactly, MD is very competitive
@@miguelgototelli Not at all
@@miguelgototelli can you get a world's invite in MD?
Best of 1 format, can't get invited to worlds etc... Yep definitely casual!
I just want a sequel to Duelist of the Roses. Still the best Yu gi oh game.
Let's be real, the only reason why is that the mobile version is fucking shit. Aaand Konami didn't capitulize Off the genuine Hype.
Honestly, I would have rather they just kept updating LOTD:LE. I'd have given them 5$ every month if they added new cards to that game instead. I enjoy that I can edit decks & duel CPU's that have decks I wanna duel. I have no interest in dueling people & have even less interest in trying to grind for cards.
Duel links is also pretty dead, fkn, ranked is rigged as sht, and everyone is using the same sht again, there needs to be another mega banlist and incompany reformation.
If master duel had better pack deals, it would’ve been a diff story. Still, great vid Ryi!
Crafting system is still amazing in masters compared to Duel links. In terms of deck building and playing I will always choose master.
If they give us classic mode I may try it bit for now I still enjoy it
my friends and I have been playing this game for a while and we are annoyed of how difficult it is to craft cards. I still have the same deck because it is so difficult to craft cards. you can spend 1000 dollars and I promise you that wasting that amount of money will only get you a couple of the cards you need. this game is a rip off. fun to play but a rip off.
