1M VIEWSSSS!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 yay What an interesting comment section isnt it? I did not expect a lot of people to watch this dumb meme i made in like 10 minutes.
Rush Duels and Maximum Summoning get a pass because it's literally a separate game. Old-school players all had to adapt to Synchro, Xyz, Pendulum, and Link summoning.
Dude my first thyme ever going to a tournament with a deck from where the Egyptian gods were the new thing was bad,my turn took 2 minutes the other dudes was 20 and I lost within 4 rounds
@@Bolillo-vm2oz I don’t know if you play Duel Links (Basically online Duel Monsters) I got lucky to summon a monster with 3100 attack for them to destroy it with a spell. Next thing I knew they spent the next two minutes “Special Summoning” every other monster in there graveyard and deck to bring out a single monster.
As a guy coming from the days where Elemental Heros was the new crazy addition, watching someone Link Summon and Synchro Summon their way into 9K worth of ATK on Turn 2 was.....something
I started in Magic Ruler/Pharoahs Servant myself. Cyber End Dragon was a thing in the Elemental Heroes days. You also had the Blue Eyes 3,000 + 4,000 x 2 = 14,000 attack Blue Eyes/Monster Reborn/United We Stand/Megamorph combo.
@@mitrimind1027 There was a deck which would reliably Special Summon more monsters than any other a few years ago. It was the Insect Deck. That deck has been nerfed though, I wonder if it has been given some of those banned cards back since then? A limit for summoning per turn would help the health of Yugioh. My deck is pretty broken if I can summon five creatures in two turns due to all of the negates a Cyberse Deck is capable of.
By far the worst aspect of modern Yu-Gi-Oh is watching your opponent play solitaire for 10 minutes to dump out a full board of wall of text monsters + 3 Omni negates that prevent you from playing the game.
After playing master duel for a week, I come to know that turn 1 3 negates is just standard. If your deck can't handle going minus 3 and a lot can't, then your boned
@@LordLux it's an extra deck monster that is summoned using a number of any monsters or tokens unless stated otherwise. They don't have a defense value and can't be put into defense position. They can only be summoned into the extra monster zone unless you already have a link monster pointing at another monster zone.
Might I suggest a blue-eyes chaos Max deck? You get a big screw off beat stick and it's all by ritual so you don't need to know any new mechanics just have to read.
Meh. Old school player myself, I somehow figured out the summoning methods, but doesn’t really fit my play style. Too much pointless sacrifices or traps to eliminate my monsters. I prefer Relying on Synchro, Fusions, and Xyz summons.
best feeling is when you set a card in face down defense position and a trap, in the next turn your opponent does a 30 minute long combo to delete your hand and field then otk you with full field 2600+ monsters
After coming back to the game after high school, I suffered midlife crissis in my first online match on YGOPRO. Dude went through half of his deck on his first turn and summoned like 3 monsters on this weird white cards and with ungodly walls of text. I was only 21.
@Dizzy Gear same here dude. Me and my buddies started to play again but after a while some of them decided to Re arrange their decks an incoperate cards like link cards or xyz stuff and completely ruined the experience for the rest of us. Some of our decks were broken even without the different new kind of cards but with that the game got really boring because we never had a real chance.
@@ironczar8975 Xyz isn't broken in the slightest. The game had huge powercreep when Pendulums and Links were introduced, but Xyz, Synchros and Fusions were all perfectly fine. And even then, Links aren't typically that broken, you just don't want to bother understanding them. There are broken decks, but they're not broken because "aahhhh new cards are scary."
@@Gatchu137 point is: I and others don't enjoy playing the game as much as we did with the old school stuff but that's OK games evolve from time to time, lose players and gain new ones. Perfectly natural
@@Gatchu137 nah, summoning methods were never the issue, its that cards have too many effects or effects that aren’t once per turn. Can’t change the fact cards can be cheated out easier with each set. Herald of Ultimate Pain in the Eva
As someone who last played the game when GX wasn’t even a thing, and then tried to play Master Duel almost 20 years later, this really resonates with me.
Loved the game when I was younger. Was actually pretty good, could beat the grown men at little tournaments at the game shop as a 13 14 year old.But its been like 15 years since I played, I have no clue how it even works anymore
This is why I quit when they take more than 2 minutes to finish me off when they could've just attacked and let it be over. Like bruh, I literally have nothing on my side of the field just go for it
I remember when I stopped playing, the last expansion that came out was that of the elemental heroes. Then I heard there were some new black cards and white ones with crazy star count, and hybrid monster/spell cards and more crazy stuff... Back in my days the best cards were the 4 starred with 1900 atk. Summoning a 7+ stars monster was beyond crazy
I used to play with my cousin, he went to school on larger city. He came back for holiday and we played again. I still have my old deck (just tryna summon red eyes) and I watched as he cycled through his deck to pull up the cards he need to beat me in few turns but took minutes to do. I remember thinking "wow this has become boring". I think it was when synchro summon was first introduced. Now things have gotten even crazier, call me old but I just want my red eyes to kick some ass.
I tried to play Yugioh online after watching some duel clips without filler a couple months ago. I played against a bot and used a toon deck to try and get a feel for the modern meta since I haven’t played since like 2005. The bot took so long playing cards that I got timed out on my turn and had to start again. In the space of that turn it played like 20 cards with huge paragraph text boxes I couldn’t read all of in time and, well, it was like watching a game of solitaire. I tried a couple more rounds and then eventually just gave up and decides to leave Yugioh back in the realm of nostalgia. I probably won’t bother with this new mobile app or whatever because I’m clearly too old and crotchety to play modern Yugioh
Yeah,most of the rounds nowadays are exactly described as"the opponent playing solitaire with himself". If ya want to play it without dealing with the feeling of"together with the nothingness",you can try Tag force 7,and if you don't want to,Play pokemon instead. Even competitive showdowns are really fun to watch.
I'm very glad that I had a friend slowly ease me into the modern era. I still don't play like I'm there, but I'm working my way through this new card pool with some old tactics.
@@noir7595 problem solving card text. Basically, after a while Konami realized that the card text on cards was very inconsistent. Two cards with the same effect could have different wording and that's just needlessly confusing. So they introduced a standard way to express effects and an order in which they appear on a card (for example activation costs are always first and separated from the effect by a semicolon)
@0xInternal absolutely and 100% not, are you crazy?? Bro, in the beginning they couldn't even agree on whether to call monsters "monster" or "creature"
I had a moment against a lyrilusc tri-brigade deck where he banished my Junk Warrior instead of my Beelze. I guess a good deck and a bad player don't mix well.
Its a valid option if you summon shuraig with revolt. Its a level 5 to rank up to bigger threat like satellite warrior or Stardust warrior. Beelze is sticky but not exactly a threat compared to the actual synchro bosses.
@@nacl4988 it's very dependent on the opening, assuming your opponent open with impermanence and you didn't draw handtraps to stop your opponents then you're screwed if your opponent play tribrigade and they open with fraktal. Also, play skill drain, your virtual world activate from the hand.
@@r3zaful revolt is not that played in TBLL (no space to summon 4) andt they can just bounce it with ddl. I agree with clearing the junk warrior being a better play since baronne and satellite exist
Master Duel is very overwhelming, my turn will be like 2 mins max while some players can go for 10+ mins and reading all the effects for their cards is a nightmare mid play.
And there's the problem. Unless you are familiar with your opponents deck (which most of the time you won't be) you will have no idea how your opponent is doing all these combos. And reading the text on the cards won't help because they can continue their combo while you're still trying to read the effect text
@@a1goldenrunner What deck(s) do you play? I mainly use a rank 10 train deck with some Machina cards. It's simple to play and can bring out big monsters fast but loses to any deck that just doesn't let you play the game.
I'm 27, and haven't played or collected Yu-Gi-Oh since I was 12. So imagine my excitement when I saw the game free on Xbox. I was so excited to see how far Yu-Gi-Oh has come and to relive my old childhood memories of dueling. Now imagine the dread that came over me, when on my opponents 1st turn, he drew cards, summoned cards, sacrificed cards, resummoned cards, fused said cards, and all this other mumbo jumbo for a solid 5 minutes straight. Then by the end of his turn, all my spell and trap cards are destroyed, my one monster is destroyed, he has a full field of monsters with 5k+ attack, they are all immune to battle damage, have abilities to destroy any monster/spell/trap card on my field upon being summoned, can negate any monster effect, spell or trap card, and all this other BS that is just totally broken. And then he proceeds to clap my life points to the shadow realm for the win all on his first turn.... And this is every match... It is lame, and not the Yu-Gi-Oh I loved as a kid. I keep it old school, and refuse to adopt this style of play. I'll win my matches without those lame link and pendelom decks... If there are any other old-school style players that wanna have an actual match. Hmu
Every TCG gets ruined after a few years by the creators. It always starts with banning cards, then changing key elements, and then almost all of the original cards are banned and it's a completely different game. Like George Lucas, and Disney they just don't know how to let a good thing be. Before you know it they've rendered your favorite game completely unrecognizable, and unplayable. I've seen it a few times, and like Thanos and taxes, it is inevitable.
I been there before. I quit yugioh since 2007 or 08 but got back playing it since 2016 to 2017 because of yugioh the movie Darkside of dimension and i bought new blue-eyes supports. I'm currently still playing the game with new cards playing old and new school cards against A.I. bots in games. If I'm playing against a old school player in real life I'll play old school to be fair. I am not gonna pull out my BS broken cards you know lol is just too broken and it will not be fair for my opponent to play. Yu-Gi-Oh nowadays it's just broken. If you're playing old school then I'll play old school with you at the same level 😅😅😅

Back in my day the most complicated cards we had were Fusion and Ritual summons! *waves cane aggressively while cackling* When I came back there were these thungs called Synchros and Xyz summons. I liked the Synchros, Xzys were kinda confusing, and then they came out with pendulums and after that I was like, "Nope, I'm out of here."
The Endymion card is a really good card BUT the most terrifying part of the card is the sheer number of card text! Old school players will fear that wall of text!!
@@VermilionShade It's still A LOT of text. And it's not just Endymion, many many cards suffer from text bloat. Take Bagooska for example. Why does it have 2 lines of text saying that it can't be destroyed by effects or targeted while in attack position? It's text is "This Attack Position card cannot be destroyed by your opponent's card effects. Your opponent cannot target this Attack Position card with card effects." Why can they not condense that down to "While in attack position, this card cannot be destroyed or targeted by your opponent's card effects." And why can't they use symbols for things like "(Quick Effect)" and "Once per turn" or effects that can be activated in the grave or hand? They say that they don't want to add effect keywords because it would confuse new players but new players also really don't want to read a novel for half the cards in the game.
Yeah... It's honestly really stupid how, If you think hard enough, You can chain together like Half of your ENTIRE DECK on your first turn. Like what kind of bullshit even is that?
@@hsgame4088 it can be. I've had fun in mini friend tournaments that ban certain cards so they can't infinite combo but finding people who play for fun rather than ftk or stk decks is seemingly rare at least for master duel.
I remember i was againts sky striker deck as a ultimate conductor tyranno deck. When his turn, i legit just watch youtube and go to take a drink and he is still not finishing his combo. In the end i got defeated instantly in that round.
ahhh, i still remember the day i finally give up yugioh for ever, a long time ago i got that yugioh dev pro game on pc, my friends told me it would be awesome to play together with friends they talked about tactics and how good GX cards are, but i made my self an oldschool card deck from the first yugioh and then i played online against a random person and i failed miserably, my opponent had those GX cards and what ever what, i could even blink and he got so fast strong monsters that i couldn't build up my defense, i failed so hard and give it up, i am still traumatized since that day
I love the fact that everyone in this comment section was introduced to the game at a different time, some are nostalgic for the og series, some for 5D, etc. The only thing that unites us is the shared confusion ahout those weird red trangle thingies that they put on the blue cards nowadays.
To be fair, Herald actually have existed since 2006. Seeing a super powered ritual version actually seems like a natural progression compared to anything after synchros.
@@machina5 Herald came out in Enemy of Justice, in 2006. Herald of perfection is 2010 but like I said, a ritual upgrade of a card archetype that already exist doesn't actually seem like a stretch for an old school player. I mean, Herald was out before Synchros so if you playing active in 2006, you would think Herald can really only be a ritual or fusion monster >_> Even if we say 2010, that's still in the earlier half of the game.
I remember when I was getting into Modern Yugioh last year I always saw the Pendulum mechanic as not worth my time outside of knowing the basic summoning. To this day I still refuse to try to learn a Pendulum deck 😅
@@wolfmelody2787 I wouldn't say it's broken. If anything, it's actually underpowered right now in the current format. It'll probably be better next banlist with Skullcrobat Joker at 3 and Astrograph unbanned.

Have you tried goat? It's a lot of fun. My only issues are that every deck will have the same 8 or so cards (pot of greed, etc) and there's some decks I wished were more viable, but it's pretty fun
It's so true I played off and on at my local card shop about 5 or 6 years ago and every time I took a brake and came back there was a new card form I didn't know about. I played heavily during the original and GX era, I was relatively aware of some of 5Ds but when I started playing again Zexel was the huge thing and I was playing with 15 year old cards and an outdated playstyle. Definitely made things tricky.
Honestly though, this was my reaction. I loved OG Yu-Gi-Oh and years later I decided to try and pick it back up. Then I see all these Xyz, Pendulum, and Link cards like, "The hell is this?" Also, the only reason I know Synchro cards is because Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's was my jumping off point where I said, "You know what, maybe I'm getting too old for this." Edit: I think some of you are misinterpreting my sheer surprise at just how much Yu-Gi-Oh has changed since I last played it, as some sort of slight at the game/changes to it. I'm not really too bothered with the changes, I was just jokingly poking fun at the amount of stuff I missed. You have to admit though, the jump from GX/5D's to now is a little bit jarring for people coming back to it.
Master duel makes it really easy to learn the new summoning mechanics. I haven’t touched the game since GX but have been playing master duel. You can build a blue eyes deck really easily that got me to plat and you can also look at all the cards in the “related cards” tab that shows you other cards that synergize with that specific card. It’s been fun learning all the new decks and have even countered some of the big boy decks
XYZ and Synchro are basically fusion summoning with both more steps and less steps at the same time. Pendulum summoning is some fucking off the wall shit tho and I have no idea how it works, same with Link summoning both before and after they reworked it
Well the game changed... What exactly did you expect? Don't get me wrong, YuGiOh still suffers from a severe case of powercreep but new these new mechanics, albeit complicated, aren't that bad and are pretty necessary in order to keep the game fresh and exciting. Once you get to learn them, it really just gives you a wider variety of cards to play. I'm not saying these mechanics are great, they do have their flaws but giving up from learning them just because they're new is pretty much denial. (I'm sorry if I made any gramatical erors, english isnt my first language)
Honestly, they did really well with the tutorials, up until master duel I never knew how pendulum summoning worked, and when I did the tutorial I found out its not as complicated as it looks. I think it's overwhelming at first sight, but as u go through the tutorials you'll realize it isn't bad. I had my opinions on link and pendulum summoning before, I thought it was way to op, and complicated. But as I got back into yugioh, I'm actually pretty amazed with how well they work with the other summoning mechanics. I find the 5ds era, easily the best in terms of deck archetypes and fun. But this isn't all bad either. Although spending hrs reading cards and learning combos is what I'm sure confuses is new players alot
A couple years ago I randomly thought "I wonder if my old cards from back in the day are still at my parents' house", and then my brother, who has kept up with Yu-Gi-Oh, said "IDK but they wouldn't hold up against any of the newer stuff"
I remember falling out of the loop when monsters started to have levels and magic cards were renamed to spell cards. Recently I’ve been watching some savvy friends play that new Master Duel game and having a ton of fun trying to figure out what the hell anything means.
The company had the excuse that they wanted games to be over quickly with this new system. Yet there's people taking at least 5 minutes on their first turn now. Their excuse is that the old system was too slow. My guess is they just weren't selling enough merchandise, so they added all these crazy cards and combos at the cost of the player experience and in benefit of their own pockets.
I stopped playing and collecting cards when the Scared beasts came out, I still remember pulling Raviel, Lord of Phantasms and practically having a panic attack of excitement. I thought the game was starting to get overly complex back then… from my understanding, old school players have to take preemptive migraine medication when trying to learn the new meta
I used to make it in True Kings, and True King Sams when it came out. Never understood how that was allowed. Like yes, I bricked and lost to handtraps at times, but if VFD resolves, 90% of decks are basically dead.
I feel like master duel should have an old school mode, either by adding a selection in pvp, or in solo play. Solo play one should slowly build you up to whatever the hell is the most recent card type. So like Old School, then add in the extra deck, then add in Synchros, then XYZ, then Link, etc etc. It's cool that I can open a shit ton of cards from the get go (I think I have like 3-4k after just starting) but I personally don't have the time to research and read through every card on my own
Solo mode sort of does. If you notice from the solo gates, it actually progresses through each summoning method. The first 2 is monarch and elementalsabers, 2 archetypes with no unique summoning. Then Rituals with ruin/demise and Megalith. Then you got fusions through gem-knights and gladiator beasts. Synchros through karakuri and shiranui. Xyz through geargia and digital bugs. Pendulums with Dinomist and Qliphoth. and then finally Links with World Chalice. If you notice, The first version of each set is even the summoning version at its more basic level and then the second version adds a gimmick to the summoning method. Monarchs are just tribute summon but elementalsabers is setting up graveyard to special summon from hand. Ruin/Demise is normal ritual while Megalith uses the monster to ritual summon to form ritual summoning chains. Gem-knights is a simple fusion deck while Gladiator beasts contact fusion. Karakuri synchros on the field while Shiranui synchros from the graveyard. Geargia xyz while digital bugs have inherent rank up xyz mechanics build in. Dinomist is fairly normal pendulum summoning while Qliphorts pendulum to tribute summon tower. And if you go off the side path, you'll learn even odder variations of the deck.
@Kevin Ramadhan I'm talking super basic shit. I don't wanna build my own thing, play my two/three cards, and then wait 15 minutes while my opponent does 50 card things and pretty much has a auto win
@@archwing3441 Yeah, I get that it does. I'd want more like "Here's a long list of cards (but limited list, maybe like 200-400 cards). Make a deck for this run of duels and get a feel for them"
@@IboxingkangerooI "super basic" has never existed in the game outside of your playground games. You're not nostalgic for how the game "used to be", you're nostalgic for being a kid
You know, the funny thing is that in the original Yu-Gi-Oh battle city manga, special summoned monsters weren't allowed to attack the turn they're summoned. If the real life game did that, it would have basically fixed the mass summoning bs
It sounds good on paper but most modern decks don't really rely on attacking to win the game since the combo decks just want to set up an Omni negate board, and prefer to go first anyway which they're unable to use their battle phase anyway. That would just cripple anyone going second since they already have to break the negate board only to probably end on a monster they can't attack with, and monster attacking destruction is a pretty good form of removal against Omni negates without floating effects like crystal wing. Plus it would derail a lot of deck strategies like cyber dragon and ancient gears since their whole gimmick is attacking with a big number.
@@HazeEmry true but what I'm saying is special summoned monsters being unable to attack the turn they're summoned will just cripple anyone going second on this ruleset and changing nothing about playing solitaire when your opponent goes first
As someone who's been playing the game since near it's start, and has continued playing it with a few breaks here and there. I still give the same reactions to some of those cards.
@@Rabidragon9241 predaplant verta with a random red eyes fusion and dark magician and red eyes black dragon im a noob so im still stuck on how im suppose to defeat a dragoon unless someone play stupid
VFD should go back to 3. The meta rn is way too focused on monster effects and VFD being a relatively simple out to literally all (non hand trap) monster effects could have been used to create a spell/trap renaissance.
This really shows how I really feel about the modern Yu-Gi-Oh cards, I stopped at 5ds it made sense with synchros but the whole Link monsters thing makes it all confusing
I learned how to play both the old way and newer ways at one point. And while I’ll admit it was super fun to do all the chaining, I’d take an older duel where a good draw could change the game rather than the cards themselves drawing out what you need
Im an old school player but i decided to try out these new cards and mix d strategies with new and old decks. I used made gladiator beast first and my next deck i learned was Shaddolls because im familiar with fusion still, and im learning sky strikers as well because i heard of it.
@@padawanboricua yea im actually doing well with shoddolls im in gold 1 rank so far but i still clapped by those prank kids or whatever.

Dryton is probably the most degenerate deck ive played against so far i would say
also you should see cards like nibiru the primal being , dark ruler no more, maxx "c", to make going second more managable. in a 1 round format those cards are a godsend going second
I remember completely rejecting the idea of xyz for years until one of the games forced me to use them. Now I love them. Any time I tell an old school player about em I just tell them it's like fusion except you don't have to use polymerization and you can just slap the card on the field and their faces light up every time.

I played back in the 5ds era when I was 10 or so and was able to competently play against my older brother and in the video games, only dropping out in the zexal era cuz none of the cards interested me and they stopped making games. A year or so ago me and my brother bought two structure decks and took 3 hours for one duel because we had no idea how to use anything and the card descriptions were as long as le miserables. I can't begin to imagine what it must be like for people who played back when ritual and fusion were the only special summoning mechanics.
My biggest annoyance rn is having to wait 10 minutes for the opponents turn, but as soon as I do anything on my main phase 1. There goes another twenty minutes and I’m just scratching my head thinking I could’ve watched some shows by now.
@@rosewarrior706 it's most likely the card that needs 10 monsters total on the xyz summon then you use those ten to just win the game. It's honestly a joke that should be banned the right set up ignores really any negate. You watch them play solitaire and then you do nothing but simply lose. Eldlich is just spammed because any brain dead can pick it up and use it even if they somehow misplay.
It doesn't help that rn. A lot of high level players are just picking up high tier decks. Meaning that you could be dealing with a tournament winning deck and you could be playing a lot more casual. I'd recommend coming back in a few days, once all the people playing tournament winning decks get to the top. Doesn't help that new players don't realize there are SERIOUSLY good cards that could fuck' up opponents, like forbidden droplets or Evenly matched.
Remember when you could summon a 1500/300 regular monster with no effects and set a basic spell/trap that does something like add 300 attk points and then end your turn? I don’t either, I just summon my entire deck
I'm fine up until synchros but when you pendulum summon like 10 fkn monsters, combine them to xyz summon monsters with 2500+ attack, and detach from the xyz to attack 100 times, i'm out. Didn't even mention 'links' because I have no idea what it does or how it works lol
I was an old player who just looked up a fun deck, learned ho6it works, how the other cards work against it, and from there things became less complicated once I got the ground rules going. If all 40+ cards get bounced around just look at it like dominoes
I only really use fusions in my deck, I have one decent Link monster. I always have these reactions to Pendulums and XYZs and the like. But I can still generally pull a win out in some way.
Relatable. I quitted after Pendulums. Synchros were great, Xyzs were weird but ok. Pendulums were like "Ok, I'm out" Plus I was getting sick of forking over hundreds of pounds just so I can be in the same league as other standard players.
Been playing Yugioh since the start, I got to say I love the new cards are so broken they make forbidden cards laughable at them being on the forbidden list. That and cards like the Egyptian god cards, seal of orichalcos and Card of Sanctuary can't have their anime effects.

I don't know if 5d's is old-school enough to warrant this but it's how i feel looking at the newer cards now. I'd spend my whole hand doing a combo i think is cool only for my opponent to do what i did with a single card effect and summon 4 level 8 monsters without effort. Feels bad man.

I started in Magic Ruler/Pharoahs Servant myself. Cyber End Dragon was a thing in the Elemental Heroes days. You also had the Blue Eyes 3,000 + 4,000 x 2 = 14,000 attack Blue Eyes/Monster Reborn/United We Stand/Megamorph combo.
This game needs a 5 summon limit man.
@@mitrimind1027 There was a deck which would reliably Special Summon more monsters than any other a few years ago. It was the Insect Deck. That deck has been nerfed though, I wonder if it has been given some of those banned cards back since then? A limit for summoning per turn would help the health of Yugioh. My deck is pretty broken if I can summon five creatures in two turns due to all of the negates a Cyberse Deck is capable of.
Crystal Beasts for me.
By far the worst aspect of modern Yu-Gi-Oh is watching your opponent play solitaire for 10 minutes to dump out a full board of wall of text monsters + 3 Omni negates that prevent you from playing the game.
There are other aspects to it?
Actually it’s when the food you ordered arrives before your opponent has finished there turn
When every card has a paragraph of interactions on front size 0.2 the game is unplayable
After playing master duel for a week, I come to know that turn 1 3 negates is just standard. If your deck can't handle going minus 3 and a lot can't, then your boned

what the fuck is a link card
@@LordLux it's an extra deck monster that is summoned using a number of any monsters or tokens unless stated otherwise. They don't have a defense value and can't be put into defense position. They can only be summoned into the extra monster zone unless you already have a link monster pointing at another monster zone.
Might I suggest a blue-eyes chaos Max deck? You get a big screw off beat stick and it's all by ritual so you don't need to know any new mechanics just have to read.
Meh. Old school player myself, I somehow figured out the summoning methods, but doesn’t really fit my play style. Too much pointless sacrifices or traps to eliminate my monsters. I prefer Relying on Synchro, Fusions, and Xyz summons.
@@samuelbenn4572 nah IKR,. i don't like to play pendulum summons
best feeling is when you set a card in face down defense position and a trap, in the next turn your opponent does a 30 minute long combo to delete your hand and field then otk you with full field 2600+ monsters
I had that happen to me literally once as a new player, and I was like "yeah, nah. This ain't the game for me", and I stopped playing.

I was only 21.
Such an unfun experience right?
@Dizzy Gear same here dude. Me and my buddies started to play again but after a while some of them decided to Re arrange their decks an incoperate cards like link cards or xyz stuff and completely ruined the experience for the rest of us. Some of our decks were broken even without the different new kind of cards but with that the game got really boring because we never had a real chance.
@@ironczar8975 Xyz isn't broken in the slightest. The game had huge powercreep when Pendulums and Links were introduced, but Xyz, Synchros and Fusions were all perfectly fine.

Yeah those were the good days, Yugioh nowadays is way too over-complicated.
I used to play with my cousin, he went to school on larger city. He came back for holiday and we played again. I still have my old deck (just tryna summon red eyes) and I watched as he cycled through his deck to pull up the cards he need to beat me in few turns but took minutes to do. I remember thinking "wow this has become boring". I think it was when synchro summon was first introduced. Now things have gotten even crazier, call me old but I just want my red eyes to kick some ass.
Synchro summon was still slow as hell. Cuz Is little bit faster but not as fast and chain able summon spam like links that can use itself as material.
I tried to play Yugioh online after watching some duel clips without filler a couple months ago. I played against a bot and used a toon deck to try and get a feel for the modern meta since I haven’t played since like 2005.
The bot took so long playing cards that I got timed out on my turn and had to start again. In the space of that turn it played like 20 cards with huge paragraph text boxes I couldn’t read all of in time and, well, it was like watching a game of solitaire. I tried a couple more rounds and then eventually just gave up and decides to leave Yugioh back in the realm of nostalgia.
I probably won’t bother with this new mobile app or whatever because I’m clearly too old and crotchety to play modern Yugioh
Yeah,most of the rounds nowadays are exactly described as"the opponent playing solitaire with himself".
If ya want to play it without dealing with the feeling of"together with the nothingness",you can try Tag force 7,and if you don't want to,Play pokemon instead. Even competitive showdowns are really fun to watch.
I'm very glad that I had a friend slowly ease me into the modern era. I still don't play like I'm there, but I'm working my way through this new card pool with some old tactics.

@@noir7595 problem solving card text. Basically, after a while Konami realized that the card text on cards was very inconsistent. Two cards with the same effect could have different wording and that's just needlessly confusing. So they introduced a standard way to express effects and an order in which they appear on a card (for example activation costs are always first and separated from the effect by a semicolon)
@0xInternal absolutely and 100% not, are you crazy?? Bro, in the beginning they couldn't even agree on whether to call monsters "monster" or "creature"

Master Duel is very overwhelming, my turn will be like 2 mins max while some players can go for 10+ mins and reading all the effects for their cards is a nightmare mid play.
And there's the problem. Unless you are familiar with your opponents deck (which most of the time you won't be) you will have no idea how your opponent is doing all these combos.

I'm 27, and haven't played or collected Yu-Gi-Oh since I was 12. So imagine my excitement when I saw the game free on Xbox. I was so excited to see how far Yu-Gi-Oh has come and to relive my old childhood memories of dueling.
Now imagine the dread that came over me, when on my opponents 1st turn, he drew cards, summoned cards, sacrificed cards, resummoned cards, fused said cards, and all this other mumbo jumbo for a solid 5 minutes straight. Then by the end of his turn, all my spell and trap cards are destroyed, my one monster is destroyed, he has a full field of monsters with 5k+ attack, they are all immune to battle damage, have abilities to destroy any monster/spell/trap card on my field upon being summoned, can negate any monster effect, spell or trap card, and all this other BS that is just totally broken. And then he proceeds to clap my life points to the shadow realm for the win all on his first turn.... And this is every match... It is lame, and not the Yu-Gi-Oh I loved as a kid. I keep it old school, and refuse to adopt this style of play. I'll win my matches without those lame link and pendelom decks...

It's text is "This Attack Position card cannot be destroyed by your opponent's card effects. Your opponent cannot target this Attack Position card with card effects." Why can they not condense that down to "While in attack position, this card cannot be destroyed or targeted by your opponent's card effects." And why can't they use symbols for things like "(Quick Effect)" and "Once per turn" or effects that can be activated in the grave or hand? They say that they don't want to add effect keywords because it would confuse new players but new players also really don't want to read a novel for half the cards in the game.

Yes
Have you tried goat? It's a lot of fun. My only issues are that every deck will have the same 8 or so cards (pot of greed, etc) and there's some decks I wished were more viable, but it's pretty fun
It's so true I played off and on at my local card shop about 5 or 6 years ago and every time I took a brake and came back there was a new card form I didn't know about.
I played heavily during the original and GX era, I was relatively aware of some of 5Ds but when I started playing again Zexel was the huge thing and I was playing with 15 year old cards and an outdated playstyle. Definitely made things tricky.
Yeah but it's nice to that nearly every deck got an update. Hell even umi got 2 or 3 decks around it now.
Honestly though, this was my reaction. I loved OG Yu-Gi-Oh and years later I decided to try and pick it back up. Then I see all these Xyz, Pendulum, and Link cards like, "The hell is this?" Also, the only reason I know Synchro cards is because Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's was my jumping off point where I said, "You know what, maybe I'm getting too old for this."
Edit: I think some of you are misinterpreting my sheer surprise at just how much Yu-Gi-Oh has changed since I last played it, as some sort of slight at the game/changes to it. I'm not really too bothered with the changes, I was just jokingly poking fun at the amount of stuff I missed. You have to admit though, the jump from GX/5D's to now is a little bit jarring for people coming back to it.
Master duel makes it really easy to learn the new summoning mechanics. I haven’t touched the game since GX but have been playing master duel. You can build a blue eyes deck really easily that got me to plat and you can also look at all the cards in the “related cards” tab that shows you other cards that synergize with that specific card. It’s been fun learning all the new decks and have even countered some of the big boy decks
all the new summoning mechanics are super easy. everybody's attention spans are just fried now to try learn anything new.
XYZ and Synchro are basically fusion summoning with both more steps and less steps at the same time. Pendulum summoning is some fucking off the wall shit tho and I have no idea how it works, same with Link summoning both before and after they reworked it
Well the game changed... What exactly did you expect? Don't get me wrong, YuGiOh still suffers from a severe case of powercreep but new these new mechanics, albeit complicated, aren't that bad and are pretty necessary in order to keep the game fresh and exciting. Once you get to learn them, it really just gives you a wider variety of cards to play. I'm not saying these mechanics are great, they do have their flaws but giving up from learning them just because they're new is pretty much denial. (I'm sorry if I made any gramatical erors, english isnt my first language)
Honestly, they did really well with the tutorials, up until master duel I never knew how pendulum summoning worked, and when I did the tutorial I found out its not as complicated as it looks.
I think it's overwhelming at first sight, but as u go through the tutorials you'll realize it isn't bad.
I had my opinions on link and pendulum summoning before, I thought it was way to op, and complicated. But as I got back into yugioh, I'm actually pretty amazed with how well they work with the other summoning mechanics.
I find the 5ds era, easily the best in terms of deck archetypes and fun. But this isn't all bad either. Although spending hrs reading cards and learning combos is what I'm sure confuses is new players alot
A couple years ago I randomly thought "I wonder if my old cards from back in the day are still at my parents' house", and then my brother, who has kept up with Yu-Gi-Oh, said "IDK but they wouldn't hold up against any of the newer stuff"
I remember falling out of the loop when monsters started to have levels and magic cards were renamed to spell cards. Recently I’ve been watching some savvy friends play that new Master Duel game and having a ton of fun trying to figure out what the hell anything means.

Monsters always had levels lmao

The company had the excuse that they wanted games to be over quickly with this new system. Yet there's people taking at least 5 minutes on their first turn now. Their excuse is that the old system was too slow. My guess is they just weren't selling enough merchandise, so they added all these crazy cards and combos at the cost of the player experience and in benefit of their own pockets.
I stopped playing and collecting cards when the Scared beasts came out, I still remember pulling Raviel, Lord of Phantasms and practically having a panic attack of excitement. I thought the game was starting to get overly complex back then… from my understanding, old school players have to take preemptive migraine medication when trying to learn the new meta

Being fair... we all had that reaction to VFD
I used to make it in True Kings, and True King Sams when it came out. Never understood how that was allowed. Like yes, I bricked and lost to handtraps at times, but if VFD resolves, 90% of decks are basically dead.

I feel like master duel should have an old school mode, either by adding a selection in pvp, or in solo play. Solo play one should slowly build you up to whatever the hell is the most recent card type. So like Old School, then add in the extra deck, then add in Synchros, then XYZ, then Link, etc etc.
It's cool that I can open a shit ton of cards from the get go (I think I have like 3-4k after just starting) but I personally don't have the time to research and read through every card on my own
@Kevin Ramadhan are you even speaking english?
Solo mode sort of does. If you notice from the solo gates, it actually progresses through each summoning method. The first 2 is monarch and elementalsabers, 2 archetypes with no unique summoning. Then Rituals with ruin/demise and Megalith. Then you got fusions through gem-knights and gladiator beasts. Synchros through karakuri and shiranui. Xyz through geargia and digital bugs. Pendulums with Dinomist and Qliphoth. and then finally Links with World Chalice. If you notice, The first version of each set is even the summoning version at its more basic level and then the second version adds a gimmick to the summoning method. Monarchs are just tribute summon but elementalsabers is setting up graveyard to special summon from hand. Ruin/Demise is normal ritual while Megalith uses the monster to ritual summon to form ritual summoning chains. Gem-knights is a simple fusion deck while Gladiator beasts contact fusion. Karakuri synchros on the field while Shiranui synchros from the graveyard. Geargia xyz while digital bugs have inherent rank up xyz mechanics build in. Dinomist is fairly normal pendulum summoning while Qliphorts pendulum to tribute summon tower. And if you go off the side path, you'll learn even odder variations of the deck.
@Kevin Ramadhan I'm talking super basic shit. I don't wanna build my own thing, play my two/three cards, and then wait 15 minutes while my opponent does 50 card things and pretty much has a auto win
@@archwing3441 Yeah, I get that it does. I'd want more like "Here's a long list of cards (but limited list, maybe like 200-400 cards). Make a deck for this run of duels and get a feel for them"
@@IboxingkangerooI "super basic" has never existed in the game outside of your playground games.
You're not nostalgic for how the game "used to be", you're nostalgic for being a kid
Yugi (or maybe just Atem) would get a stroke if he sees how players summon their monsters now
I summon my deck
Atem already saw Synchros. He just needs a little warm up and he'll be back with the @ss pulls in no time.
Yugi seing pendulum: wait a minute did you just summon a bunch of monsters in one turn?
It’s not like he followed the rules anyway
Not at all he actually has seen kaiba and other characters synchro summon and such
It's always wild to check out the absolute state of YuGiOh power creep. It keeps surprising me with new and innovative ways to win turn 1 lol
I learn to hate otk decks. Yeah they lose to mirror force but if you don't have it, your dead
You know, the funny thing is that in the original Yu-Gi-Oh battle city manga, special summoned monsters weren't allowed to attack the turn they're summoned. If the real life game did that, it would have basically fixed the mass summoning bs
It sounds good on paper but most modern decks don't really rely on attacking to win the game since the combo decks just want to set up an Omni negate board, and prefer to go first anyway which they're unable to use their battle phase anyway. That would just cripple anyone going second since they already have to break the negate board only to probably end on a monster they can't attack with, and monster attacking destruction is a pretty good form of removal against Omni negates without floating effects like crystal wing. Plus it would derail a lot of deck strategies like cyber dragon and ancient gears since their whole gimmick is attacking with a big number.
@@tsukainova1928 even with the going first nerf where they don't get their first draw, going second is still worse if you can't break boards
@@HazeEmry true but what I'm saying is special summoned monsters being unable to attack the turn they're summoned will just cripple anyone going second on this ruleset and changing nothing about playing solitaire when your opponent goes first
As someone who's been playing the game since near it's start, and has continued playing it with a few breaks here and there. I still give the same reactions to some of those cards.
Same. Pendulums are the fucking devil.... I don't care about the link and XYZs I fucking hate Pendulums
As an old-school player, this is very accurate, however Patrick's disgust and terror is justified.

To be fair, if you showed the Very Fun Dragon to a modern yugioh player, they’d react the same way.
VFD should go back to 3. The meta rn is way too focused on monster effects and VFD being a relatively simple out to literally all (non hand trap) monster effects could have been used to create a spell/trap renaissance.
@@Mr.ToadJanfu nice bait
@@Mr.ToadJanfu this is why we have Skill Drain at 3 now
This really shows how I really feel about the modern Yu-Gi-Oh cards, I stopped at 5ds it made sense with synchros but the whole Link monsters thing makes it all confusing
I learned how to play both the old way and newer ways at one point. And while I’ll admit it was super fun to do all the chaining, I’d take an older duel where a good draw could change the game rather than the cards themselves drawing out what you need
To be fair, that's a fair reaction to True King of All Calamities or Herald of Ultimateness + Eva
I used to hate newer cards.
Now I have fun using both old and new cards in my deck.
For example special summon Blue eyes alternative white dragon just by showing blue eyes white dragon to your enemy from hand
@@Yuyu-nt8ci or chaos drag. If they try to blanket negate, ult creature of destruction and wipe his cards to 0def/attack. Loving chaos drag right now
@@FecalMatador wtf! me being Yami Patrick right now
Yeah same man. YuGiOh duel links is the only reason I know how to synchro summon or XYZ summon. Still learning how to pendulum summon.
Blue-Eyes White Dragon is an old card that will continue to get new support forever and ever
Im an old school player but i decided to try out these new cards and mix d strategies with new and old decks. I used made gladiator beast first and my next deck i learned was Shaddolls because im familiar with fusion still, and im learning sky strikers as well because i heard of it.
Those are 2 really good picks! They're both really straight forward and pretty powerful. Hope you're doing well with them!
@@padawanboricua yea im actually doing well with shoddolls im in gold 1 rank so far but i still clapped by those prank kids or whatever. Im not familiar with these new archetypes and those dragonmaid knights be clapping me too lowkey but ill learn and get better in the matchups. Dryton is probably the most degenerate deck ive played against so far i would say
@@mibbzx1493 as a drytron player, my advice is to get forbidden droplet and attempt to go for game, or just scoop if you see herald.
also you should see cards like nibiru the primal being , dark ruler no more, maxx "c", to make going second more managable. in a 1 round format those cards are a godsend going second
and good luck on your endeavors :)
The Kid in me wants to Duel his heart out competitively in Duel Masters, the adult wants to stay in my Duel Link Safe Zone 😂

I remember completely rejecting the idea of xyz for years until one of the games forced me to use them. Now I love them. Any time I tell an old school player about em I just tell them it's like fusion except you don't have to use polymerization and you can just slap the card on the field and their faces light up every time.
@@10cody7 It's like synchro but you don't need one of your monsters to be a synchro type. You can have super og cards and use them to bring out a xyz summon. They're ridiculously easy to bring out
As a old school YGO player I can confirm. Want back the old times when 1TK wasn't the rule.
I barely played YGO! but ever since Synchro Summons I feel like a boomer. We had simplicity...now it's all combos to make Exodia piss himself at night.
wdym? Synchro summon is literally an addition, it's as simple as it can be
As a Pendulum stan, seeing my favorite card get compared to all these heavy hitters like Zeus, Shuraig, Eldlich, and True King of All Calamities made my day.
Well i had to at least put 1 pendulum card in there since i know most people hate that mechanic lmao
considering the fact that yugioh players don't read, its card text alone should put it on the same level
@@AdskyLR Saying most people hate it in 2022 is a stretch. It's still definitely the most controversial mechanic though.
@@HunterStiles651 sorry for the confusion, what i meant by "people" is "old school players". Even though yes i do agree pendulum is still the most controversial mechanic
@@HunterStiles651 We all hate it
I miss the old yugioh days. Where cards were cool, magazines had price lists of every expansion and tv shows really had an impact on how you look at your deck.
@Kevin RamadhanNo joke: everytime I think of the old cards I think of Yata Garasu
There is always a 100% accurate spongebob meme for something.
To be fair, new school players react the same way when they see an Eldlich
Someone summoned 3 0f them, boosted one and killed me
The Skill Drain is the scary part of that deck
@@davidcapes1567 I just dragon spirit of white into ult creature of destruction to wipe skill drain then chaos drag his cards to 0 atk/def. Tho if he has IO too then it’s kinda hard for me to set it up xD. That’s the real stickler is IO with Skill drain
@@FecalMatador If it's just skill drain I can usually afterburner it away (or engage/A0 into afterburner). The problem is when it is combined with IO, solemn judgment, etc. Eldlich and Prank-Kids players always have skill drain + something else.
It would be dope if they made game where you could only use cards that came out during that era on Master duel
As a Duel Links player, I’m not afraid to admit the True King one is too accurate😂
I played back in the 5ds era when I was 10 or so and was able to competently play against my older brother and in the video games, only dropping out in the zexal era cuz none of the cards interested me and they stopped making games.
A year or so ago me and my brother bought two structure decks and took 3 hours for one duel because we had no idea how to use anything and the card descriptions were as long as le miserables. I can't begin to imagine what it must be like for people who played back when ritual and fusion were the only special summoning mechanics.
My biggest annoyance rn is having to wait 10 minutes for the opponents turn, but as soon as I do anything on my main phase 1. There goes another twenty minutes and I’m just scratching my head thinking I could’ve watched some shows by now.
I got otko'ed my 1st game of master duel, but I hope you yu gi oh fans enjoy it! It seems cool
That tends to happen if your board is broken and your opponent has enough to secure game
@@rosewarrior706 it's most likely the card that needs 10 monsters total on the xyz summon then you use those ten to just win the game. It's honestly a joke that should be banned the right set up ignores really any negate. You watch them play solitaire and then you do nothing but simply lose. Eldlich is just spammed because any brain dead can pick it up and use it even if they somehow misplay.
laughs in maxx c & nibiru
@@Flourikum you talking about numeron, They don't use the boss monster,...field spell is busted tho got clapped in locals by it
It doesn't help that rn. A lot of high level players are just picking up high tier decks. Meaning that you could be dealing with a tournament winning deck and you could be playing a lot more casual. I'd recommend coming back in a few days, once all the people playing tournament winning decks get to the top. Doesn't help that new players don't realize there are SERIOUSLY good cards that could fuck' up opponents, like forbidden droplets or Evenly matched.
Even heart of the cards wont save yugi from Drytron
Remember when you could summon a 1500/300 regular monster with no effects and set a basic spell/trap that does something like add 300 attk points and then end your turn? I don’t either, I just summon my entire deck
I remember when metal reflect slime was the boss monster in all my decks. O attk 3000 Def with no effect.
I'm fine up until synchros but when you pendulum summon like 10 fkn monsters, combine them to xyz summon monsters with 2500+ attack, and detach from the xyz to attack 100 times, i'm out. Didn't even mention 'links' because I have no idea what it does or how it works lol
I was an old player who just looked up a fun deck, learned ho6it works, how the other cards work against it, and from there things became less complicated once I got the ground rules going. If all 40+ cards get bounced around just look at it like dominoes
The big herald is hard to counter
4 negates with just a baby alien and fairys
Not anymore
Bro you're a weeb for that dragon maid pfp
@@denglong7180 and?
dragonmaid player let's go!!!!!
All hail the fellow Dragonmaid players . I'd be scared of it too
I only really use fusions in my deck, I have one decent Link monster. I always have these reactions to Pendulums and XYZs and the like. But I can still generally pull a win out in some way.
That’s cuz you gotta believe in the heart of the cards 💪
Shaddoll exist
Relatable. I quitted after Pendulums. Synchros were great, Xyzs were weird but ok. Pendulums were like "Ok, I'm out"
Plus I was getting sick of forking over hundreds of pounds just so I can be in the same league as other standard players.
I will say this:
Master Rule 3 is really fun and chaotic. So 3 and "5" are my favourites.
Yeah. I quit when 4 was announced but 5 seems very combo heavy and I'm all for that.
Not gonna lie this was me coming back into yugioh after years
Been playing Yugioh since the start, I got to say I love the new cards are so broken they make forbidden cards laughable at them being on the forbidden list.
That and cards like the Egyptian god cards, seal of orichalcos and Card of Sanctuary can't have their anime effects.
I also like to add people playing Yu-Gi-Oh Master duel seem to be pretty dumb, I can't count how many times I've watched people constantly attack Spirit Reaper then just quit the game ( all because it can't be destroyed in battle).

@@cbbblue8348 Yes but for some reason people forget you can out herald easily...true king you cannot. Unless you have double imperm, shits basically hard to out when it hits the board.

It's heartbreaking for me. The decks I played back when they were semi competitive are trash now if all the power creep. I love yugioh but the power creep is disgusting.
