I don't have Twitter, so here's my story: During Zoo Format, I showed up with a budget Phantasmal Spiral OTK deck to my locals. I played against a black wing player (19 y.o.) and when he realized he was loosing, he started crying and stalling for turns, repeating the sentence "I only lose because I didn't draw X". His friends (regulars) later told me they didn't want me at their locals, because they didn't know me and I made their friend cry. Not like I really planed on comming back anyways.
Me and my teammates had a similar experience except we didn’t stop going
Spiral OTK 💀
>Phantasm Spiral
My good sir. You have earned respect today.
I hate those kind of tribe mentality. How they hell they can grow as a store if each time new players come, they got treated right that. Some locals here are like that, new players come, no one approach to talk to him, and he left after the tourney over and never show up again.
did he really cry? actually shed tears and all? wtf kind of 19 yo is that lol
At my locals, there was a grown man somewhere in his thirties who was trying to trade something with a kid of about 13-14 years old. The trade he proposed was very obviously in his interest and the kid was going to suffer a huge loss if he accepted it, but he got strongarmed into it. The guy stupidly stuck around after that and the story of the trade made its way to the owner (I'm pretty sure one of the customers tipped him off, but I wasn't there to see that part, so I could be wrong), who dropped everything he was doing, told his assistant to mind the store for a few mins and barrelled into gameroom, where he physically lifted the guy out of his chair without saying a word, shoved him out the door and, without mincing words, told him to undo the trade he made with the kid right now. The trade was reversed while all of us were watching. The owner then kicked the man out of the store and told him he was never allowed to come back. 'If you're only here to scam a kid,' he said, 'then you're in the wrong store. You don't mess with kids. That's just not right.'
Holy shit that's absolutely wild
I mean, cool of the store owner to stand up for the kid but Jesus Christ dude
Based store owner
I seen this many times I seen one when the guys he was in his early 20's n he try to rip off a teenager or peer teen I stop him he him n his friends told me I wasn't allowed to butt in n try Tell pp get me ban funny enough I don't n they told him he couldn't come back or drop everything
do you remember what the cards were?
@@CallieBlader No, I don't remember the exact cards, but I do remember it was for the Yu-Gi-Oh card game in one of its earlier days. This was back in 2007 or so. One of the cards was valued somewhere around 5 euros and the other one closer to 30-ish. I know I saw the cards in person, because I was there to witness the tradeback but it's been too long since then to recall which cards they were.
My town's local library had a mini tournament going on for fun one time. I was running zombies(this was during GX era, so i was on that Zombie Madness structure deck) and one of the participants was running a deck centered around Mystic Tomato because in his words "Mystic Tomato is the most broken card ever made". When i attacked his set MT with my Vampire Genesis, he first tried to say that it can't be destroyed by battle and then tried activating the special summoning effect, attempting to summon Red Eyes Black Dragon. When i told him that not only does it not have a destruction protection effect, not only does the card need to be destroyed by battle to activate the effect, but also that it only summons dark monsters with 1500 or less attack, he tried to tell me that the card was misprinted and that it was supposed to say "Any Dark Monster" instead off the attack point restriction. When i pointed out that everything he said was factually incorrect, he then threw a massive temper tantrum, saying that i was cheating and that i didn't know what i was talking about. He swiped the table, scattering his cards all over the floor, revealing that he had 20 copies of Mystic Tomato in it.
Idk man he might be a tomato fan
That ending must’ve been the funniest thing to ever happen. Man really broke every rule in the book to have 15 mystic tomatoes on board
Man, if the Zexal's tomato episodes is based on this it'll be funny
Back when a friend and I first started getting into locals (this was just before Chaos was a thing) we were at a weekly tournament. It was a mix of good, experienced players and kids that had to be told you can't have 3 different sets of sleeves on your cards during the tourney.
After winning my first-round match, I walk over and see my friend still playing against one of these little kids. The kid is running a random pile of whatever big monsters he has, filling it out with other random cards he barely understands. Apparently, my friend's deck -COMPLETELY- crapped out in the first game, did its thing and won the second, and he's well on his way to winning game 3. This kid had gotten a couple of large monsters as well as a creature in face-down defense position onto the field. But looking at the game state it's clear that my friend has the long game won. Especially after he makes things run a bit longer by dropping Swords of Revealing Light. The effect triggers, flipping up the kid's monster... revealing WEATHER REPORT. This allows the kid to destroy the Swords and win with the extra damage the following turn. The kid literally did not know what Weather Report did. My friend had to explain it to him, walking him through how he'd just won the match.
What a great guy to have at a locals. Tell him to never stop being the kind of person who makes a kids eyes light up
@@shadowbandit147 Oh absolutely. It was super-wholesome. But when we got in the car after the tourney, my friend turned to me and just went "WEATHER REPORT!?" and we both cracked up laughing.
Super cute, what a good guy and what a good kid, he deserved that weird ass win.
@@randys4467 I’d say the same thing too like holy fuck. First and only time weather report resulted in a win 🤣😭
We once had one of the adult players duel one of the kids for the opponent's deck duelist kingdom style. He was on trickstar and the kid was on flower cardian. The kid won and he tried to puss out by taking out all the secret rares and reincarnations. He was forever deemed the guy who tried to scam a kid and lost. Bonus points, the kid became known as protag
Ok but I really want to know how the kid managed to survive with flower cardian against a deck that punishes you for drawing cards
@@gonzaloescalante7063fwiw he forgot to mention everybody clapped afterwards
I have a funny story. One of the locals in my area decided one day they were gonna do something special. They decided to host the english voice actors of yusei fudo, joey wheeler and kaiba and my friend was ecstatic. Upon hearing this, his first instinct was to bring his jumbo stardust dragon to get signed by the voice actor of yusei fudo. Needless to say, the voice actor was flabbergasted.
W Locals
W VA
W Friend
That’s a FAT W
Not a local story but to add my old middle school Spanish teacher's son is the one who voices Joey and Cyrus in the English dub. He did a surprise visit to our classroom back in the day. Great dude.
When I was a kid, me and my friends stacked our decks whenever we duel each other because we thought that's what Yugi does considering how he often gets what he wants with every draw.
I mean, you're not actually wrong. The power of the Millennium Puzzle allows Yugi to magically stack his deck, so whenever he called for "the heart of the cards," he was quite literally cheating.
@@Celestia282 That's awesome
I mean, that does sound like a fun format for a couple of rounds.
holy shit you just reminded me of this dude back in elementary school who would "beat" everyone with his toon world deck because he'd never shuffle his deck lmao. he'd just stack his deck with some combo, attack directly and say gg then giggle to his heart's content. looking back, i think nobody would tell him to shuffle it.
My friend did the same thing, he played a deck that just stacked so he could summon blue eyes or black luster soldier turn 1. I had a 80+ card machine pile that was eventually tuned just to counter his cheating. When he realised my machine pile cranked out pretty much everything where a 3k vanilla and some staples didnt cut it, he admited to cheating and we both started playing by the rules.
At our locals they started charging us three times the amount they normally did and when we asked why they said it was because they couldn't afford the OTS packs. Someone told them they were supposed to be getting the OTS packs for free but they insisted they were paying for them, so we were all half-convinced someone was embezzling money from the shop.
Funnily enough our locals started up about 2 months ago and still hasnt got OTS support and has had to buy them off of other stores, so either this is a common issue or we are both being scammed
@@TomkoChannel as someone who used to work at a store, this was extremely common. We used to have to travel to other stores to get more, but we did try to only do this based on other store's delivery dates haha
tbf in Europe the OTS Pack Displays do cost the store a good amount of money
It's sad but a lot stores do this because either they don't make enough money to stay afloat or there's just 1 greedy butthead. My store went through 4 different owners before we finally got someone who knew what they were doing. There were warhammer boxes going missing every month and somehow 1500$ went missing every few weeks. Also had players who are just awful people with stealing decks/product etc. There was a lot more drama at my shop than there was in my highschool
@@shadowbandit147 feel so bad for you the biggest "drama" at our card shop is the biggest drama was a week where 7 chairs were broken lol after that people had To start paying for broken chairs
At my locals there used to be this guy who only ever played a deck full of dangers and 3 vanity's fiends, attempting to special a danger then normal vanity's.
The rest of us have cards like impermanence, droplets, dark ruler, and fog blade.
He always, without fail, would argue that those cards don't negate Vanity's because it's not an activated effect.
We would always have to convince him that they do and one day he's screamed WHAT HAPPENED TO HONOR?!?! Then never came back.
Complains about honor but plays degeneracy? It’s always the hypocrites that annoy me the most.
bro was reading stormlight archive
Honor would mean no Vanity's.
I think every locals has this one guy honestly.
Yugioh boomer behavior ngl, "why floodgate not work"
At least my locals had mostly wholesome moments. Best one: a younger player (maybe a middle schooler) pulled a BLS link monster (big chase card at the time) and everyone was like cheering and a full protection squad of older players went like “Do not trade this thing, we’ll defend you and your card with our lives if necessary”. It was pretty cool.
I have one thats more wholesome, one of my uni roomates was getting into yugioh as she always saw me play it with the other dude we lived with. She was insanely socially awkward but we eventually got her to play at locals. While there was the creeps and weirdos that nearly pushed her out from playing, she met her bf there, another friend of mine. They have been going strong for 4 years now and I was told he proposed a few weeks back.
'Ey bby you wearing a Ring of Magnetism? Because I can't attack anyone except you...'
@@ChargeQM People who know of Yugioj: D'awwww.
People who don't knowYuGiOH OR at least that card: Ahmmmmmmmmm...........
A guy I used to be friends with and an “Uhm ACKTUALLY” Speedroid player got into an argument over Branded Lost vs Ash and it got so stupid that the entire store all started yelling “He can Ash that!!”
I've seen this kinda issue crop up. People think that they can activate any effect _except_ the ones ash covers, where as ash doesn't care what effect you're activating, all it cares about is that somewhere on your card there's an effect that lets you search/draw, dump, or summon from the deck.
Its because Branded Lost is worded in a weird way, and because activating a card, activating the effect of a card, and the effect of a card, are all similarly but distinct things (Branded Lost protects the first two but not the 3rd, which is why Ash works, but its worded in a way to make you think it protects all 3).
It's the good ol "negating the activation" vs "negating the effect" argument. Ash doesn't negate the activation, it negates the effect. Branded lost protects from activation negation. This means you can't negate using borreload savage dragon (because that card negates activation) but ash works. Veiler and imperm also works as they blanket negate the effect of a card, not the activation.
@@jamesruth100 I just learned that a couple of weeks ago when I realized I could use Ash to negate a Labyrinth card that could search (which was not the effect my opponent was activating). Since I didn't know if I could I just asked "Can I Ash that?" He said yes and forfeited the game.
The sad thing is that if he lied and said no, I would have believed him as he is a judge.
@@mateusrp1994 Can you chain block with Lubellion to prevent any response from the opponent if it is the last effect in the chain or am I crazy?
I'm from Mexico. One time we had to stop a tournament because some rival gangs started a fight outside the store and some of them had guns. We waited inside for quite some time and when things calmed down some asshole stole some decks and ran when we weren't looking.
Your tournament was in Crash Town?
Man, anything anime-related is Serious Business in Mexico and South America.
@@justinlafser916 This Creepy Little Punk
he was brave enough to stay in the line of fire just to steal some cards tho.
you should've told the gang leaders to duel each other
I also don't have twitter, but my locals story is: One dude (I'll call him Carl, late teens) was starting a pretty bad gambling addiction when it came to playing for cards, and started upping the ante betting more than just cards. So my friend Travis who had the the most valuable binders and arguably the best player there, knew Carl needed to be taught a lesson before it got worse. So what Travis did was he goes goes up to Carl and offers to start playing for cards. They play and Travis wins, Carl was pretty arrogant and felt like he was better than everyone, so he said to keep playing, betting more and more shit . Now Carl and Travis are friends, so Carl didn't really think Travis was gonna take his binders, his new Jordans, and his mom's car. So when it comes time to closing up shop, Carl's like "Yo Trav can I have my stuff back?" And Travis was like "Nah. You lost that shit fair and square. That's my stuff now." So Carl was pleading with this dude, begging for his stuff back, And Travis was like "Alright fine, I'll give you all your stuff back, on the condition that you call your mom, tell her you need to be picked up, and tell her what happened. And I will give everything back." Dude must've gotten the bitching of a lifetime, cuz that dude never played anyone for cards again.
Oh that reminds me of the one time I went to a sneak peek event for cybernetic horizons. One of my opponents offered to forfeit the game if we instead played using our usual decks rather than what we pulled from the packs. I agreed and he swept the floor with me, but due to our agreement, officially I had won. Funnily enough it was the only game I "won" that day, which made me place 16th overall. At the end of the event they were randomly giving away some prizes and I ended up winning the raffle for a cybernetic horizons playmat with my placement. Good times.
Honestly, I'm glad to hear it was Burnstinatrix art and not DMG for the 8 billionth time. He should be embarrassed but less embarrassed than the average DMG fan.
Just slightly less cringe
Sometimes I make the hour-and-a-half journey to the nearest locals not because I'm in the mood to play that week, but because I just want some social interaction.
I feel that as i hit my 30s. It gets hard to interact with people growing up :/
That’s wholesome. I love that!
Just invite friends over and have a duel night om week ends what I do
@@lukecwolf Me too. especially as someone who rarely interacted with people in school (from elementary to college)
One time back in 2019 during toss format, I was playing trains at the time, I went up against a new player who was playing a yugi kaiba deck with cards that came out back in the day, it was game 3 and I summoned liebe and used its effect to gain 2000 and then I had limiter removal to make him 12k and I went into battle phase but as soon as I thought I had the game, my opponent flipped up of all cards….. magic cylinder
Trust nobody not even yourself
I was looking at another dudes binder once and he was looking at mine. He said "you have nothing I want" and rips his binder out of my hands. I mean it was his property but I've never felt a stronger urge to punch someone in my life.
Took the time to read, some cool stories here.
One of my locals is located in a "flood area" meaning the streets and sidewalks turn into rivers if it rains for 2 hours or more.
The store owner told me that they got trapped once during a heavy rain while a tournament was ongoing. The building has this big stone step you have to cross to descend to the store and if the flood water crossed that step, the building pretty much turns into a pool.
They had to put the iron curtain and barricade themselves to prevent the building from flooding. The owner told me: _it was like Noah's ark with me trapped with a bunch of animals_.
They had to stay there till 1 AM or something, and after freeing themselves went together to get some burritos for dinner.
Damn, I can't believe Shinato itself was the owner of your locals
@@primaster9360 I was gonna say, someone play Attack the Moon, quick!

HUGE lore just dropped
Classic Dire L
@@OtakuUnitedStudio this is absolutely a Dire W lmao
Do people really have 317 unread texts on iMessage? No way it's real.
Man I'm so used to smash bros tournaments where I don't really have to interact with my opponent outside of sitting next to them and saying "wanna go battlefield" so when I went to my first regional last week, I was really not looking forward to INTERACTING with my opponents. Turns out, literally every opponent I had was super nice, fun to talk to, and easy to duel with. 10/10
Last year, I'm playing at my local vs my opponent, he's thinking about his plays while I hear from the table next to me "Judge!"
I turn around to this guy laughing pointing at his opponent and going "He just activated Maxx "C" " 😂
My story's from a regional right after pot of desires released. The vendors were completely sold out so some guys girlfriend went out into the parking lot and ahem "aquired" a playset for her boyfriend. People are werid
That's the best and worst girlfriend I have ever heard
Sadly this is not the first instance of sucking dick for Yugioh cards I've seen online
I don't understand if the strange part is that she got the cards or how she got them. Seriously are you implying what I think you are saying?
@@M.W.2 The second part and yes
Sounds like she was a LITTLE bit too eager to get that playset for him
This happened to me recently, and I will preface this by saying I'm really new and have only been playing yugioh for about 3 months. Was playing against a young kid I'm a branded despia mirror. This kid had actually topped our locals the last 3 weeks in a row and really new his stuff despite his age. I really didn't know how tributing worked and asked the judge if Bystial Baldrake could tribute an opponents monster for cost of its effect. The judge and 3 senior players all deliberated over it for a couple minutes before deciding it could, allowing me to tribute over the kids Dragoon...
Needless to say I went home that night and felt terrible about myself and the situation after looking up the ruling...
Sounds like that's on the judges and not you.
@@ChargeQM Defiitely on the judges, especially because those types of effects typically make specific note of 'Your opponent controls/on either field', etc, if they work the way these judges ruled
You'd be surprised how common judges misjudge in locals. They usually don't think over things as much and just let senior players think it over
aight here is my story: i was 14 during dragon ruler format going to my locals in westside jacksonville. popular card at the time was number 50 black ship of corn. multiple opponents of different races kept calling it "slave ship" well my last opponent was black and after hearing slave ship all day, he summons number 50 and i exclaim profoundly, "oh nice another slave ship" he gave me the most death looking stare and just sighed. i said sorry and left and never returned lol
all I can say to that is . _ .
omg I forgot people called it that xD
About a month ago we had a guy at our locals playing runick stun exoida.
The goal was to set up fountain, flip ticabo/skill drain/rivalry, and go +3 every turn until he got exoida.
The week amazing defenders dropped, he actually had a game where he hard drew all 5 pieces in his opening hand. It was bound to happen eventually, everyone congratulated him and moved on.
When he did it again next week, no one wanted to say anything to him for fear of calling him cheater.
All five pieces in the opening hand? Suspicious.
@@Ragnarok540 I had it happen ONCE in one of the old GBA games, when it wasn't a Rare Hunter type deck. Twice in such a short time? Nah, don't bother playing with him again.
@@ChargeQM best part was he was already 0-3 for the day, snd decided to do it against a gohti player.
He couldn't beat the funny fish so he just hard drew exoida.
This is something I really want to pull off one day. I came EXTREMELY close a long time ago at a locals. Opened four pieces and an Upstart Goblin, with the last piece as the next card. The nice thing about that particular instance, though, was I had visibly seperated the five pieces prior to the Duel AND the opponent cut my deck, so there was no doubt as to the legitimacy. Still want to one-up that and open Exodia, though.
He obviously was a cheater. The first time was cheating already, be sure
Last time I went to a specific locals, my opponent round 1 was playing dark magician. I was on dinomorphia. I set 5 and passed. He did some things, i let him attack me. So I could play in M2. He says pass after going to M2, I say end of main phase id like to activate. He says, you missed the timing, I said pass. You can't go back. Like this isnt a 2 player game. I asled if he was serious and he was. I get louder to try to explain to him the game mechanics he clearly doesnt understand. He flips out and leaves giving me the match because I raised my voice a little. Not yelling. This dude is like late 20s early 30s and his dad was there to explain to me why he did it. I never went back because it was such a hassle.
Dude was probably autistic or something
Maybe I'm missing something but it sounds to me like he intended to SKIP his M2, and that is allowed.
@@OtakuUnitedStudiohe went battle phase I don't think he could've skipped main 2 there
@@OtakuUnitedStudio he passes prio of M2. Opponent can then enter M2
@@manporo5865 Thank you, I looked a little more into it after seeing your reply and I think I understand better now. You don't actually skip, you just agree to not go through the theatrics.
When I was a kid I went to a locals with my binder.dek. Since I only played my friends before that I didn't know there was a banlist or anything which my opponents informed me like 1/3 of my cards were illegal. They were super nice about it though and let me pick out a couple cards from their collection like an Arm of Exodia and Dark Magician Girl. Ever since then I've always tried to pay it forward in card games and swore to help out younger newer players
See this is way more believable than the guy claiming they had a Stone Soup moment where they got a whole meta deck in random donations, including an Ash.

Hey hey hey, this isnsupposed to be about outlandish true life events to make us laugh, not feel good moments that makes us tear up thinking there is still good in the world. I hope you continue to have good duels.
@@ChargeQM mean why not, I recently gave away a couple of Super Poly plus Mudragon because I got some to spare and won't be making any other decks anytime soon. Ash is in 3 structure decks loaded with other amazing staples now, people are bound to have some they don't need anymore.
I dont remember a lot of the details, because i was focused on my game, but one time the guys at the table besides mine got into an actual fist fight over a Floowandereeze game. They were already at each other necks since the beginning of the match for whatever reason (i remember one of them shouting at the other guy because he wasnt sure Robina would be banished if it got Gamma'd or something) but what caused the fist fight was that the Floowandereeze ended his turn as time was called, and tried to argue he said end of phase rather than end phase, which sounds feasible in english, but in portuguese (the language we speak here) it doesnt work, so it was very clearly a lie, anyway, judge was called, but before he could get to the table, the 2 dudes started just throwing hands
I mean, it’s floowandereeze. It would be weirder if the game actually doesn’t end in throwing hands.
Bora Brasil
Don’t blame the guy going fisticuffs on the Floowandereeze player.
@@vergilthewolf3619 I knew the floo were evil
I've got quite a few, since I worked at a store. My favorites are
1) During a Magic midnight pre-release, a customer had informed me that the police were looking for the owner. I approached to confirm, and asked what the issue was so that I could relay the information. Turns out that a player who registered for the event started lighting fireworks in the parking lot, and the apartment complex across the street reported it. It was the death of our midnight pre-releases at the store, so we audibled to the local IHOP from then on
2) Our Yugioh scene was dying, and the owner was getting super salty towards the players. I was looking at our stock, and saw that we were almost out of the current set (we just got a case a few days earlier). I asked when we sold the packs, and the owner told me that our Yugioh guys were just buying all of our product before any of our customers had a chance to! Instead of telling them to chill and making sure we had stock to sell, the owner flipped out and blamed the players on a Facebook video that weren't playing there anymore BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE PRODUCT!
Had this with warhammer at my locals. Nerds are some of the scummiest people sadly
Sounds like the worst store owner ever, no wonder there isn't a scene there
Sounds like CFV at one of our local stores. They sold out of it, and then when asked if they were going to get more, we were told "it isn't selling". They had an entire display's worth of product that got sold.
Some stores are allergic to stocking stuff that is selling sometimes.
@Vala that one I do get because the same happened with FOW in my LGS, but he didn't clarify that properly. Some of the lower tier cardgames get dropped constantly because they sell well at the start, but then just sell product poorly. Vanguard is a good example of this. The same goes for FOW and DBS. That and tournament days are really bad, with barely enough people to break even and be licensed by the company (there is a proper term for this, but I can't remember it atm) to host larger events like pre-releases or qualifiers
@Vala my experience with VG players made me stay away from it. When I was interested I learned how to play this steam punk looking time chronicle Archetype and I realized just how VG makes their money with the OVERWHELMING amount of sweats playing little aqua girl think-tank. It felt like playing a battle city YGO deck against something like mono-blue control in MTG with less mana costs
Mine is a wholesome story but when I started playing the game I went tk my first locals ayi g some jank Lunalight deck I built because it was cute and I liked fusions decks (bare in mind this was right at the time of invoked mekknight and altergeists being good) I ended up going 0-3 and after the tournament I was asking around for tips on how to play and what I should get. This guy, who is now a great friend named Johnney, asked what deck I'd like to build and I told him about Altergeist. So there in the middle of the store him and I went around and he asked if people had Altergeist cards and I ended up getting the full build of the deck including Ash (which was 90 at the time) for free. It's honestly one of the best community moments ever and is why Altergeist is my favorite deck and why I have a Multifaker tattoo on my arm.
Already read a few comments mentioning this, but I'll say it as well, this is very unlikely. Mainly, the fact that Ash had a very low print run at that time, no one would just give it away.
@@manporo5865 Well the fact that it did matters a lot to me. The people around me are extremely wholesome and we give up expensive cards all the time. When Eldlich was out I gave the whole core out even though I spent well over 700 dollars on it as a gift for one of our players that just finished high school. It's just something my store does, we help those who are good people and want to play the game.
@@manporo5865 I see this happen at my locals pretty frequently. I saw a guy buy two boxes chasing QCR Little Knight and gave away the two Imsetys he pulled. Another guy gave up a QCR Masquerena as a prize for a tournament. I myself gave a new player an entire deck core (the same deck I beat him with in the final round), plus a few staples. People are more generous than you might think.
There was a regular at my locals that just stopped showing up at some point for months. Turns out he was grounded because he took a SHIT in someone's backpack at school. Never saw him again.
I lack any particularly wild stories. the main one I have was just someone, in early link format, rotaiting their mat to try and claim their monster's link arrows arrows now pointed somewhere else.
That man was playing chess while everyone else was playing checkers.
That only works if he plays Convulsion of Reality.
No one is gonna get this joke.
@Richard Quinn As someone who played Convulsion of Nature when I got back into YGO! because I thought it was good in Spyral, I appreciate your niche joke.
We had the store owner stop a tournament and call someone out and tell them to leave and never come back. Owner comes back in and explaioned the dude was on a registry (there were literal children playing here at the time) and that now because of this everyone enetring their first tourney gets their name run against the databases.
This was the week Flames of Destruction released. Just before the Gouki Extralink became popular. The Extralink end board its self was pretty clear, but for some reason I thought the way to get to it was Ojama ABC. Most hands got mostly there, but rarely all the way there. So, my opponent was on jank. It was like; True King/Fire Kings I think. But, he sets up his board, destroys Garunix to special Agnuminizahd and extends a little more. Decent Board. Then I end up searching Red and the Vanillas with Delta Hurricane in my opening hand. Bring them all out and resolve Hurricane. Opponent's like "Cool, destruction effect, nbd. I'll rebuild." Then the extralink happens ending in an Iblee on his field. I guess he didn't read it beforehand because I pass to his turn and he tries to summon Garunix from grave. After me and his friend who is cracking up explain what Iblee does he passes me the Iblee, folds up his mat with the cards still on it, drops it in his backpack and just walks out of the store.
So, Imma just share this here, because it’s kinda wild, and I was late to the party: I only got into Yugioh recently, and haven’t had a chance to go to a locals, because apparently, the only guy around here that was willing to start hosting them post-Covid, had the police bust into his shop and arrest a finalist during one of the tournaments because the dude had been pimping(we live in Oklahoma where prostitution is illegal) and was part of AN ACTIVE HUMAN TRAFFICKING RING, and the authorities asked him to kindly put any further events on hold.
Some of it is sort of unlikely, considering most stores, on average, reopened 8 months after Covid started
A couple of characters I met at my locals: The one guy with nsfw art bags, card sleeves, etc who could anti meta deck build pretty well, gotta say. He was nice and I enjoyed playing against him.
Another guy, he didn't like using card sleeves. I beat him first round playing 5Ds era 6 Samurai against my Despia. He proceeds to stack his deck in front of me under the table and draws full exodia. I let it slide, trounce him game 3, and move on with my life.
I've seen a lot of crazy stuff at locals.
Guy playing Battlin Boxers vs Chain Beat got so mad he threw his deck against the wall and left the store, not coming back for his cards. No one saw him again.
Dude was blasting the band Korn in the store and when people told him to turn it off, he pulled out a knife and the cops had to be called.
I was playing Evilswarm in Dragon Ruler format, my DR opponent gets so mad he snatched my Vanitys Emptiness and crumpled it up in front of me. I still have it to this day as a reminder. (The guy had a history of being a scumbag)
Some years ago, I was in a Force of Will tournament, and a YGO local was taking place the same day. One small shop was the only locale to hold these tournaments because it was the only OTS store in town and the other venue was filled to the brim with MTG players. Problem was, it was a pre-release torunament for us, so it was packed. But the YGO players apparently also had something big going on (I don't know what it was) - in short, it was cramped. So cramped in fact, that some dudes decided to play on the windowsill. Nobody complained, as long as everyone got to play.
But two small rooms (spearated by a sliding door) full of dudes with the windows blocked by more dudes means, no matter the level of hygiene or lack thereof, the air would eventually get stuffy and musky. And then some guy showed up late to the YGO tournament. He slammed the sliding door open and barked "Open the windows, you fuckers! It stinks like ass in here!". Well, the dudes on the windowsills wouldn't budge and refused to open the windows. After complaining about the smell for a while, he took out a can of Axe Bodyspray and started going ham on both rooms. Took people a while to realize he wasn't stopping and then grabbed the can. But by then, a disgusting mix of musk, bodyspray, and thick air basically hijacked the tournaments. The store owner came in to see what the ruckus was about and immediately went "Okay, you animals. Either you air the rooms right now, or I'll register the tournaments as cancelled." Suddenly, the YGO players got really efficient, finished their rounds and noted the results before swarming outside to avoid pissing off the owner. This was the only time it got this bad, and since then, open windows are mandatory during all tournaments, even in the dead of winter.
Now, I won't deny the YGO folks weren't the only sweaters present. But unlike them, we all went outside for some fresh air and left the door open between rounds, while the YGO players stayed cooped up in their room. Since then, the store relocated, and the new place has great air conditioning. Plus, stinkers get immediately booted, and the mix of getting kicked out and shamed seems to have worked on the regulars.
I posted this in an earlier video too but I got shunned for playing my favorite deck, Ojama-ABC. A crazy story that actually happened at my highschool of all things, one of my friends got Exodia in his starting hand, twice in a row.
And on the 2nd one his opponent thought he stacked the deck so they shuffled it instead, and yet he still got it.
bro woke up and chose heart of the cards
Second story is the biggest cap I’ve ever heard
@@kaibeh seriously the odds of that are so low even Dream wouldn't hire someone to prove it.
@@ChargeQM the odds of drawing all 5 is like 1/608,000 and then apparently he drew all 5 three times in a row ok budddy
@@kaibeh Except it wasn't? I strongly remember this because of his reaction. He got Exodia the first time he kinda just chuckled. His opponent shuffled the deck, he drew 5, and he popped off and ran into the hallway yelling "oooooohhhh!"
You don't have to trust some guy on the internet but it's not like I'm out here trying to lie for brownie points.
During a locals a few years ago the store got actively robbed at gunpoint while a tournament was going on.
did you continue?
I got one. Some Indian kid ant my locals took a binder from a girl that was well endowed in the chest. She chased him down to demand her binder of cards back. He stopped and handed it back, but as he exchanged, he quickly reached up and squeezed her chest and ran. He is no longer welcomed to that store.
Not yugioh but at pokemon locals a guy was harassing a young girl over a card she pulled and I tried breaking it up, he ignored me and continued. I physically pulled him back from her, he swung at me and I threw him into the store widow. I told the owner to call the police and send me a bill for the broken window then left
Yeah, I hate those kind of people. That was one of the main reason I quit MTG(magic the gathering), these hyenas would harass, scheme, coerce and peer pressure you non-stop into a bad trade. Then, brag about it to the whole store.
BTW, this happened around 2010 when I was a kid and didn't have internet to check prices or have any reliable adults around me since everyone was scamming kids.
@@leemay3097 sometimes i wonder where all you people live xD played mtg/yugioh for years and never seen freaks like this.
@@leemay3097 At one of my first locals after deciding to try a competitive deck, I brought some of my older cards to trade, but hadn't fully decided which ones I was trading vs keeping (I hadn't fully sorted them).
One guy picked out a few he wanted and when I said I was willing to trade A, B, & C, but not D & E, he started badgering me, saying "C'MON" a bunch of times and saying how awful the condition of the cards were in the most condescending way possible.
I informed him that the trades were completely cancelled. I then likely got ripped off by some guys who treated me nicely, but I had fun trading with them so I don't really care.
I respect your decision
@Lee May something similar happened to me only in a weird way. So the guy pulls me out of the store and offered me $60 cash and $40 trade for a Dracosack (tcg player price was 180, but no one was stupid enough to buy it over 120 at the time). I took he trade and going back in the dude was just acting all cocky with that trade. I then added a little more to buy a box of Tachyon Galaxy and pulled a ghost rare Tachyon dragon and another Dracosack. Sort of funny how karma worked as quickly as it did.
my story is that around the time mystic mine burn was a brand spanking new deck and final countdown was seeing consistent competitive use as about 5 or 6 people were on the mine deck per OTS event. it got the point where every single time someone, anyone would activate final count down someone in the room playing mystic mine would start singling 'the final countdown by europe'. eventually around the 3 weeks mark one of the kids was going through some deep, almost psycho like stuff at home and asked people not to blurt out the song today as it was annoying.
we all agree. the locals starts running and within minutes a final countdown was played, but noone said anything, it was kind of silent, and a MAGIC PLAYER in the NEXT DAMN ROOM overheard the words final countdown and sung it at the top of his lungs down the hallway.
have you ever seen a racoon panic because it's stuck in a garbage bin? think that but 4'10 and with glasses.
The amber alert one made me laugh because the same thing happened at my locals. This kid about 13 at the time ran away from home and the police came to our lgs looking for him. He was 1-0 at ygo locals and his 1st round opponent complained that he lost to the guy who just got taken away by the police. He was returned to his parents that day. Saw him the next week at locals and everything seemed to have calmed down.
the kid really challenged his kidnapper to a duel💀
@@thisgoddamusernamestoodamnlongMokuba could learn something here
To be fair the yugioh locals is probably the best place to run away to
When I was much younger, i pulled a plague spreader, this guy wanted it and offered me his Crush Card Virus (waaaay before the errata). I didn't care if was banned, I just loved the card so I accepted. He then told me he didnt have the card at the time but would give it to me next week. This should have been a warning to me, but the guy was a regular and no one seemed to think negatively of them, so I believed them.
2 years later I find that guy in the locals and confronted him. The manager overheard this, grabbed the guy to the side and told him to go home right now and get it. To which he promptly did. It was however the errata. I had already moved on and learned my lesson, but the manager banned him for literal life, so I'm glad some justice was served.
Shoutout to the day my friend got his barber license and gave $5 haircuts to everyone who wanted one at locals. I’ll try and post a pic
At my locals the shop there sold body pillows of different anime girls this is important because in the finals when It was me versus this one guy using the worst version of branded I've ever seen I had to choose between Playing him in the finals or play testing the ishizu tear mirror with a friend of mine for a regional we were going to. I gave the guy the win and started playing the ishizu tear mirror match unknown to me the guy I was supposed to play in the finals made a bet with his friend that if he won that locals he would buy him one of those body pillows I only found out when the guy I was supposed to play come up to me with the body pillow saying thank you because now I have this and proceeded to hold up the body pillow I didn't know what to say so I said you're welcome and then he left
Which waifu tho
Yes it's important
Watching this reminded me of a story:
So, the locals I was playing at at the time had 2 Yu-Gi-Oh events, a casual and a competitive. The difference between the 2 was in the casual event you weren't allowed to play decks that had been meta in the past 6 months. Basically, new players or people that wanted to try out fun decks could play casual, while experienced players who wanted to play with or against the meta could enter the competitive tournament, where I think the prizing was also a lot better.
So, after about a month or 2 of me going there and playing in the casual event with my slightly modified cyberse starter deck (literally the first one released) sometime around the release of Circuit Break, a guy shows up who had been playing in the competitive events with either SPYRAL or Zoodiac (can't remember which one since I never played against them). After the third round (not enough people for more) someone who knew the meta reported him to the owner of the locals, the guy got disqualified and banned from the casual events but could continue playing in the competitive events. That is, until he pushed over a shelf that had a bunch of stuff on it while screaming about how it was unfair since another player in the casual event was playing a meta deck. The other guy was playing pure Invoked, with cards like Compuls to stall a couple of turns while they tried to find Aleister or a light to summon Mechaba.
Never saw that guy again, stopped going to that locals a few months later because they stopped hosting Yu-Gi-Oh and focused entirely on Magic and Warhammer, and now I don't even attend locals partially because of that event
Every time I get last place at locals with my Tri-Melffy at the end I shout hell yeah get wrecked losers 😂
One time I was dueling a kid slightly younger than me with his big brother (who I had already defeated) next to him. All three of us were talking and joking around but at one point I drop something, bend down to get it and the brother KICKS me in the stomach. D: I was 12 and it was the reason I stopped going to locals.
LMAO WHAT 😭😭😭😭😭
Oh nah bro hands would’ve been thrown if that happened at my locals
Once when I was at a locals in about early summer 2018, there was a guy with minimum rarity Satellarknight deck. I picked up one of his commons to read it and he literally went mad, snatched it out of my hand and began screaming about how can I do this to him. Everyone around looked at him awkwardly because of the reaction (I never saw him at the locals before neither).
Probably should have asked before touching someone else's card. It's your right to see it, but consent is appreciated. Not defending his reaction either, he needed to chill.
@@ChargeQM I agree, I cant recall if I asked then took the card or just took the card, but I should have asked regardless. However he didn't get upset about that, he specifically didn't want anyone to touch his cards even to read, instead he was holding it in front of mine and other people's faces when we asked to read the effects.
@@idkdontask7142 He might be autistic. I've met autists that do not touch anything someone else has (knowingly) touched. Difficult times for parents and peers.
This is back around 2006-2007. I was at a locals where rules weren't really followed, and there wasn't really a judge to enforce them anyway. No banlist, no deck checks, etc.
I, being a dumb kid, thought that the "side deck" was a 15 card deck you could choose to draw from instead of your main deck. This sounds overpowered, except I was playing cat's ear tribe/raregold armor/wave motion cannon as my only even semi-coherent strategy, and thus still lost most of my games.
Also, I came back a couple of years later after my friend taught me the concept of +/- in cards, only to hear that people over 14 weren't allowed to play at locals there anymore.
bring back magical hats
No Mbt should play Vaylantz instead
At the OTS I used to frequent as a child before it shut down was trying to host a tournament one week and walked up to one of our players, who was arguably one of the best players in the room and told him he wasn't allowed to play the game because he was too good. It eventually lead to a scuffle between the owner and this player and cops were called. A few weeks later, that shop closed permanently.
The fact that dire was the kid at that persons locals is the greatest plot twist of the fucking year. Holy shit.
Eating Colossal Fighter is the biggest power move ever

My locals were actually the most normal place I went as a kid. Literally nothing strange happened. Everyone just enjoyed Yugioh Together.
This wasn't at a local but at a yugioh tournament back in college. This was during BA, Satellarknight, Shadoll format. The TO at the college was a yugi boomer and wanted to ban every summon mechanics except fusion and rituals because the other summon mechanics are too powerful. I protested because I knew a guy entering the tournament playing Shaddolls. I said that other decks need their synchro/xyz to even compete with shaddolls. After a majority vote from the contestants, the TO finally allowed the other summoning mechanics to be in the tournament.
''nonono you cant play appliancers, but that guy can play branded tho''
It's valid to advertise a tournament with a particular format or with restrictions, but don't he surprised when no one is interested. Returning to the 'glory days' isn't gonna happen like they think it will.
One of the regulars at my locals at the time threatened to beat up a minor who was also a regular, everyone else there told him off and he was banned from the store. Wish I was there to see it myself but I’ve heard the story like thrice when people asked where he was
In one of my first locals returning after Covid, round 2 I sat across from a new guy who played traptrix against my predaplant branded deck (locals, don't judge me.) After 2-0ing him he got upset and started to cry, we had about 30 minutes until the next round so after me and the judge helped him feel better, he asked if I could duel his other deck, I said sure, and he pulled out Post Dark wing blast Black Wing, and a notebook where his moves were written down. What happened next was a 20 minute slog of him reading the book, summoning a thing, on repeat until he had triple Assault and some random level 8 synchro.
I used lightning storm and Mirror jade and a few monsters to otk.
One of the players at my OTS used to bring his girlfriend to the tournament and she'd always sit next to him and he would never have both hands over the table.
It was incredibly uncomfortable.
I've had quite a few experiences at my locals.
When I was brand new, I was told Ash blossom couldn't hit any Main-deck Drytron effects because of whatever cheating reason he gave. When learning about the rulings from some friends, it led me to become well learned in as many rulings as I can remember due to the fact that I don't want to see people run from the game because they're lied to about different rulings.
One day, we had a brand new player join in, he whipped out the ol' rubber banded deck box, with no sleeves, and was running 1 link starter deck. He had all the link monsters in his main deck and proceeds to normal summon link spider. Meanwhile, me and my 2 acquaintances were running meta decks, decided to try and explain the game and mechanics to him on the fly. I offered to drop from the tournament and teach him, even though it was paid entry, but he refused, promptly lost his match and dipped. I felt bad, but also, I tried everything I could, and it sucks to watch people just leave the game without even trying.
I had the second happen to me once, turns out a few days later he was arrested since he stole the structure deck he used and was dealing meth. Moral of the story: you probably met a drug addict
@Manporo I mean, possibly, but the dude just seemed interested in getting into the game. He didn't seem like he was a dealer, or an addict.
That gamers choice one is so true that its not even weird anymore lol
That's just the natural order 😂.
A bit sad that the Floowandereeze thrower didn't make it into the video but the stinky list made up for it
A lot of good ones were missed this time
with covid I wasn't at my usual locals for years. I come back, I'm playing numeron god cards. I tied for first because of my record. one player (swordsoul), not only thought I was a stacker, but even demanded he look at my deck thinking I had more than 3 copies of certain cards. than he complained about it for the rest of the round. Only reason my side was taken was because the employee running the tournament knew me since young teenage years. I don't see him there very often now.
During a HeroClix tourney way back in the day, I had someone straight-up lie to me about how the Energy Explosion power worked. I called him on it, he calls the judge (his dad) and proceeds to get dunked on by said dad as hard as possible because we all knew that he should know better. Like, his dad says out loud "no wonder you keep failing 10th grade!" in front of all 5 of us.
Can't wait for Bottomless Trap Hole to show up at locals.
So I used to go to a LGS with an indoor skate ramp (the store looked like something out of MTV, it was the best). Everything was seperate by a big wall with a medium window so people could watch while we wait for games. One time a dude wiped out so bad that his board broke through the window and messed up a table with the finals for with a regionals game win. They needed to restart that duel and we were all kind of bummed that wipe out wasn't taped for Tosh.O
Back in 2012 I attended a locals and remember both my opponent and I getting heavily distracted midround because two older guys at the other end of the store started screaming at each other and nearly fighting until an employee broke it up. It wasn't over the game though. One guy was claiming that his opponent had previously stolen his car.
when I was like....14ish??? I remember one particular weekend looking forward to going to my locals, because I had made some friends with the other 12-14 year old regulars. There was a weather forecast for light snow that weekend, but i figured if it was light enough I could just trudge over. Its only a few blocks. The next day my family and I were snowed in during one of the worst blizzards in my cities' history. It even knocked out some of the power around town. Needless to say, I didn't go. Spent the whole day shoveling. Next week, most of the snow had cleared up, BUT it was mother's day weekend, and didn't want to go. But my mom said that I had been waiting all week to go to the store since it snowed, and knew I was bummed out. She said as long as i promised to be back before 5, that it would be fine.
So I get to the store, and there's less people there than usual. I guess some people don't put Yu-Gi-Oh! over their own mothers after all. So anyway, I sign up, and I'm just in time to catch the first round. The guy I was going against was going to get a pass for this match until I showed up and made it an even bracket. We sit down, roll the die, and get started. We're a few minutes in when some more new people walk in. And one of them goes, "WOW!!!! none of you must have a mom to care about. Y'all like this card game more than your own family, GOD DAAAYUUUMMN!!!" It was playful banter that everyone near him was in on. There was a lot of back and forth. I remember one guy going, "Bro, you're in here too, you can't talk."
Even one of the cashiers/judges piped up, and said, "Nah, he's right, some of you were here last week, helping me shovel and salt the fucking sidewalk, so you fat asses could play your fucking children's card game." Everyone was really quiet after that, with the exception of my opponent and I, who were fucking cackling in the corner table we were assigned to. That shit caught us like a hockey puck to the jaw.
Imagine being the store owner, during one of the worst winters of the year. Digging through your shop's cellar for the salt and shovel in the fucking dark, when you here the methodic tapping of arthritis riddled, battered, power shuffling, digits at your front door. Expecting to see your employees, but instead there being 7, maybe 8, men all cupping their hands together to see through the glass, and hearing that 1 dreaded word muffled by the 3inch thick glass separating you from the unwashed savages...."Tournament?"
My locals got dominated by a meta only player who thought casuals ruined the game and was friends with the owner, part of the reason I left, the other being mr4, was because I was getting stressed out as I was the only one willing to help the kids learn the game and navigate the in-store politics, checked with a mate a few weeks ago about locals, learnt that no kid shows up more then twice anymore because he still bullies them
I hate those "casuals ruin X" creeps. They will literally kill a game just to keep it "pure".
Imagine gate keeping a literal CHILDRENS CARD GAME
Those dudes are the literal scum of the earth. Instead of guiding them to be better, they just chastise them for trying.
Upset I missed the Twitter thread this time because I went to locals once and literally sat down next to the Pharaoh Atem. The poor Floo player paired against him didn’t stand a chance as during game 1 he summoned all three god cards while announcing out loud all of his actions. During game 2 however, he managed to assemble the pieces of Exodia because instead of drawing from his deck for turn, he would whip open his binder and pull out a piece from there. After winning round 1 he packed up his things and left, not saying a word in the process.
Turns out the guy is a regular and the OTS just gives a by to whoever he gets paired with.
I was at my locals, and there was a guy listening to a Family Guy funny moments compilation at max volume without any headphones on.
I think that story about the game store girl leaving a list of smelliest players is an all timer.
This is exactly when I needed my daily dose of MBT
Oh shit that kids and birthday reminded me about how years and years ago, a kid had his birthday at locals and gave out a deck box and pack of sleeves to everyone. First real deck box i ever had, cause i also was a kid, and i still have it too
You know those were true duelists when they continued play even after the power went out...
There was a small event at my local Toys R Us that mostly had elementary kids show up. The one exception was this one older guy who wore a jester cap and called himself "The Joker." The worst part is that he didn't even play clown control for the full anime villain roleplay and just had a standard Summoned Skull meta deck that he used to get easy wins on children who barely knew how to play. All I'll say is that I'm glad my dad stuck close by and that I never went to one of those events a second time.
My first local in high school, I played fur hire vs someone on dragon ruler. Yes, full power dragon ruler. I shit on him as we thought the special summon effect of fur hires was once per turn but the bonus effects were not.
Dire doing the "don't insert yourself into the Twitter video" challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
Its funny how much a story can change over the span of eleven years lol I was friends with the Spellbook player and one of the TO's was an ex. The thief and the Spellbook player were just friends (not best friends) and the thief wasn't dragged out of her car. What had happened was that she was seen on security cameras walking out of the store around the time the deck went missing and came back in. She wasn't seen on camera taking the box because she herself was a thief and knew about the cameras, but was near the area when it went missing and took advantage of the store's blindspots. An ex thief who also happened to be a player at that tournament looked over the cameras to help out. He told my ex that the thief probably put the deck in her car when she stole it and came back in to continue playing so she wouldn't arouse suspicion and people wouldn't think it was her since she didn't have the deck in her bag. He told my ex to ask to check her trunk and under her seats when the tournament was over and she was out on her way to get Taco Bell. If she wasn't guilty, she would've let them look. But if she didn't, she most likely had it hiding in her car. I'm not sure why the thief let them search her car when she stole it, but the Spellbook player ended up finding it under her passenger seat. The whole part with confronting her about being friends and after was accurate though. It's kind of ironic she got caught because of how often she stole and got away with it, but it just so happened that she was caught because another thief who stopped stealing from people happened to be around.
I think the craziest story I've got is the one where a kid brought a knife to locals to threaten his opponent's deck to get his opponent to concede. I was sitting at the table next to where this went down, and he pulled the knife out and set it on the table behind the spell trap zone and tried to do some no shot 'it would be a shame if something happened to your ghost rare' blackmail. I wasn't the only one who noticed, and there was a mad scramble of teens diving out of their chairs to get away from the nutjob. Cops were called, tournament was canceled, and knife kid got arrested.
Someone reports that a deck is missing, chains immediately cover the doors and a TO starts scraping across the floor like Pyramid Head
In 2004-2005, I was sitting at table near the front door with my friends. A larger man (6’3 300lbs) walked in and bought a storage box of a new game (I think it was legends of the five rings) and sat down in the table behind us. After about 30 minutes of looking at the cards, he hulk smash the box and cards go flying everywhere. He walked to the door stopped before opening and pointed at me and said “You’re lucky, you’re fucking lucky” and stormed out. He then took off all his clothes and stomped around the parking lot. I ran and locked myself in the bathroom till the cops came and arrested him. I went back 10 years later and people were still talking about it. The best part was some lady came out of the hair salon next door and screamed at him “It’s not that cold outside” 😂😂😂
I'm from Mexico, and back when I was actively playing, i.e. circa 2005-2008, I used to hang around in a mall dedicated to anime and other geeky stuff in Mexico City. There were small tournaments on sundays, and while it was something regular, the fact that this mall was entirely closed with little to no air circulation, turned it into a goddamn sauna room by the time tournaments were on. By 2 pm, it stank like the devil's armpit, and it didn't help there was this guy who was like a human skunk.
We called him 'the Ancestor', because he was a balding guy in his early 30s but looked way older. And the mfer stank like crazy. He used to always show up in a yugioh themed shirt, and you could see the sweat stains in the armpit area everytime he moved his arms, his breath was straight up rancid and he had a distinct smell like that of rotting milk products. He ended getting banned from the mall in late 2007 after making a kid throw up while they were playing. I saw him in another games shop nearby a few months later, sitting alone in a table.
If I were to describe him, imagine Trevor from GTA 5, with a pair of huge glasses and speaking with a very noticeable lisp. Always wearing combat boots, grey denim jeans and his yugioh shirt with Gaia the Dragon Champion. Also extremely vindictive and hostile, like to the point where none of the regulars wanted him nearby. And he lasted that long playing because he was friends with a shop owner, the whole ban incident was because a kid threw up in front of him, and the Ancestor began berating the kid, and almost got his face kicked in by the kid's dad. The dad threatened to call the cops, and the Ancestor got banned to prevent the mall from having a bad rep (side note, they sold LOTS of bootleg anime products and modified gaming consoles).
a la verga loco
That whole thing about "I gotta do what I gotta do" is literally SHARKING and should have been explained to the judge and gotten him banned from that OTS
I think that "playing yugioh during a game store power outage" thing has happened to everyone once, and if not, then it will eventually lmaooo
This might be my only story of note but at one locals when Qlis were near their height of power I almost beat a Qli player using Ojamas. I got Delta Hurricane off but sadly missed a win by like one attack. The entire store was laughing their ass off as my friend yelled "He's LOSING to Ojamas!"
The next round I stalled a Shaddoll player with First of the Dragons and they called a judge over after about 12 turns of taking 100 unavoidable damage from spanking their Construct.
I don’t have a Twitter, but my stories boring because my locals is sorta in the ass end of nowhere - a group was coming in, and got skunked in the parking lot. Needless to say, that’s probably the most noxious Yugioh I’ve ever played, and I’ve been forever grateful that my nose is fucked and I couldn’t smell it.
Thanks to Master Duel my social life is as empty as ever but hey at least I can play meta decks without getting spit on!
Not YGO, but my locals was so rancid that for years, even after they closed, the first google result for the shop's name was a reddit thread describing an incident where the OWNER had a temper tantrum because an mtg event didn't fire off
That story about the guy going to his car and getting a gun reminds me of one time at my own locals.
The match had ended (forgot the round, but irrelevant), and one table had one of my friends at it and his opponent got extremely frustrated that my friend linked-down to deal with his Mystic Mine deck and beat them in the first duel. The guy didn't side deck out anything for the second duel and lost again using the same strategy. The guy was also deliberately slow playing after my friend would link down to deal with the Mystic Mine.
The guy threatened to shoot up the store because not only was he frustrated at my friend, but also believed you couldn't link-down, so when the judges told him my friend could do that, he said that.
The store owner was there and quickly reminded him he was in *Texas,* so more than likely roughly half of the people there were packing heat. He stormed out and wasn't seen at that store for a few months after that (per being at least banned from even entering the store for a month)
Afaik, he's only shown up once after that.
The guy was known for having an extremely loaded trade/sell binder with starlights and other high rarity cards. So loaded, in fact, some of us theorized he wasn't using "clean" money to get them.
Outside that single guy, the players that go to that store is very respectable towards each other.
So respectable, in fact, you could enter the locals tournament with things like an Exodia deck. Sure, you'll probably get some sort of question like "An Exodia deck?!" but they understand some people are there to just have a good time.
The craziest thing I saw was when one of our regulars showed up with his collection. He recently got it from a college friend so he was excited to show it. HOWEVER this person has no understanding on how to take care of cards (we had to convince him to sleeve up his cards prior to this) so what he does is he stuffs his entire collection into his backpack as if they were toys and shows everyone the pile of supremely damaged cards. At least one person cried in the bathroom as we looked deeper and see the ulti rares
Funniest thing I saw was someone show up in a Jack Atlas cosplay, and instead of saying something like "Your King is here!" Dude just says "Get your game on!"...I had to bury my face behind my binder so i didnt bust out laughing. He played Performapals, btw.
An 8 year old kid called my Drytron deck boring, he was playing Mystic Mine Burn.

I always wore a scarf to tourneys. Not for fashion for survival, I would spray perfume on it and cover my nose during the pairings rush. Please wash your asses, shower, and wear deodorant
That dark hole edit was perfect.
