Phenomenal video! We now know you're a true Yu-Gi-Oh! player because you hate Maxx "C" like the rest of us!
FUCKING FACT'S!
So when are you gonna put him up against Mystic Mine 👀
i don't hate maxx C shifter is worse :)

History of yugioh season 2 but with Rarran instead of MBT? :p
"This video's okay"
"Maxx C sucks"
"Actually Rarran is the goat I forgive him for everything."
Lmao you described me perfectly watching this. Love your vids btw
@@Honest_Mids_Masher Hey thanks!
"Maxx C sucks"
This is where you became a real yugioh player, you're one of us now, there's no turning back.
A comparison I can make is that yugioh is like a fighting game. You can do fine as a beginner and play against your friend. But to play ranked you actually have to put in more work than normal games to become decent which is a lot of time to sink in for a beginner to attempt. So when people say that yugioh is hard to get into, I get it. This is coming from yugioh player.
The same goes for RTS, the knowledge gap between a newbie and a veteran is so absolutely massive that's almost unbridgeable, and as more and more content is released and the game become more and more complicated, that gap has only ever widen. You're basically running a marathon with people that have a 25 years headstart.
As a fighting game player this is completely untrue, because fighting games have skill based matchmaking. And pair you up against people who are playing about the same way you are. Yugioh might have some kind of mmr system, but the gap between a complete beginner and someone who knows how to play the game but is bad, is still horrifically massive, making it still a bad experience regardless of how bad the other person is.
Maybe if you play a new game with a lot of players, but youre going to have a bad time as a beginner going into any fighting game with a smaller playerbase or that is older than a couple of months. Like just try playing under night in-birth 2 as a beginner.
@@vgcatharsis9480
If so, YuGiOh is BlazBlue Central Fiction.
@@vgcatharsis9480you're not going to win a match against someone who consistently in the top 32 evo, but you might win against someone like ltg, tmm or koeficient if you are decent at the game.
Yugioh is the exact same thing, you might win a round or two against josh or tasuku but winning against them in match is straight up unlikely even if you have a decent knowledge of how the game works, but against cimoo, farfa or amakudari(jp) you can win even if they play their main archetype(treat this as character like tmm with kazuya, farfa with burning abyss) because they are decent enough to play the game, but don't have the necessary fundamental to win more games.
After watching this video I can say that Yugioh is just its own species of a card game because it seems that every deck is a combo deck so you can't just blindly jump into it and expect to do something or to work itself out. It's not like Runeterra or Hearthstone where in general you gradually build your board state to win or like Flesh and Blood that is back and forth trying to get a small advantage where you can take the tempo with a big turn. These games also have simple rules for basic play unlike yugioh where I still don't get how things work after these 2 yugioh videos.
This is accentuated by the fact that Rarran needed to read a guide for 1.5h to play the deck. From my perspective, it seems that Yugioh stands closer to fighting games. I haven't played fighting games online, only occasionally with friends, but I know that characters have combo strings and if you, as a new player, were to jump into online play without looking beforehand how you character works, you would have a similar experience to what Rarran had in the 1st video. This idea is also reinforced by him saying in this video that a single mistake can snowball into you getting crushed.
But after this video, like Rarran, I can understand why it still exists and why some people are drawn to it. It has an appeal and it seems to give you a high sense of satisfaction for doing your combo right and just watching your opponent either surrender or trying to scramble to mount a counterattack.
But still, the game doesn't seem to be my cup of tea and the barrier to entry still seems to absurdly high, but at least from now on I won't have a negative opinion towards the game because this video showed us what the game is like a bit after stepping beyond the entry barrier.
Good video!
While the fighting game analogy is very good, and used by multiple people in the community, I think the reason you don't get yugioh is not necessarily because you watched too little or because the game is complicated but because you watched the wrong videos. Rarran's videos (especially the first one. Good god that one was terrible) are not very informative. If you wanna learn more about yugioh, there are content creators who have made videos and entire series specifically for that.
@@lordgrub12345 While they weren't very informative on how the game is played, it still showcased a bit how the game is experienced and as I said previously, it's not something that gets my attention.
From my perspective, combo decks are cool and feel unique im general and it's why they attract people. Especially in more normal card games like Hearthstone where other archtypes exist. When everhthing is a combo deck(I might be wrong, but that's the impression I got from the yugioh videos) it loses its magic and appeal for me. It's a bit funny cause right now I'm trying to learn a combo deck in Flesh and Blood, which is around the hero Kano.
But as I said in my comment, after this video I can understand a bit the appeal of yugioh and why people are attracted to it and that I won't have an unfair negative opinion of it anymore becoming more of a difference in preferences
@@LegendOfRoGamers oh yeah I totally understand that you don't find the game interesting. I get that it isn't everyones cup of tea, but the videos rarran made aren't very good at informing, even the basics. This one is definitely better in that regard but it still is very lacking in that department. Also, about every deck being a combo deck, that isn't necessarily right. There are many decks that don't combo (Control decks like sky striker, Labrynth and umi for example) and other decks that learn much more into the combo aspect of the game then others (synchrons, cyberse, mathmech, dark world etc.), but yeah, overall most decks have some sort if combo-like style.
One thing about yugioh is that it is totally made for tryharders who love COMPLEX SHIT.
Like, it looks like that every deck is a combo deck, and thats pretty much how It feels up until diamond.
because past that the game actually opens up a lot in skill gap and diversity of plays.
Going second aint as terrible as it looks, the real issue about going second is that ITS ANOTHER LEARNING CURVE YOU NEED TO GO THROUGH. Playing to disrupt and deal with your opponents board is where the real complexity of the game kicks in.
Basically to play any deck in yugioh at higher levels you need to:
learn your cards
then learn some lines
then you get used to modify those lines a little bit
then you learn more complicated lines
then you learn how to use your cards to improvise lines at a mere sight
then you're ready to play going second with confidence
then you learn the matchups
and the shit just goes on. and im not even taking deck building, meta call and side decking into account because thats a whole different beast.
yugioh is really nuts on how difficult it can be to become GOOD at any deck, but for the people who loves this kind of challenge its the reason why its their favorite tcg
@@PamellaCardoso-pp5tr I mean if you wanna get good at a game then of course you have to learn a lot of skills. That applies to every game, not just Yu-Gi-Oh. Card games like Hearthstone are just very simple. Magic is an example of a complex TCG (although generally not as complex as Yu-Gi-Oh). Yu-Gi-Oh is basically the Tekken of card games. It is REAAAAALLY confusing and hard to Master but that just comes with learning experience and after a bit you'll be able to master the basics and with the right Fighter (or in this case deck) that is enough to get you some wins.
Another positive about Yu-Gi-Oh is that in terms of aesthetics and all the different archetypes I truly think theres a Yu-Gi-Oh deck for everyone. You saw the 25th anniversary animation and that in a nutshell is why I love Yu-Gi-Oh. You have mech gundams in the same game as fluffy forest creatures and religious cults and sushi battleships. And they're all always playable because Yu-Gi-Oh standard format is unlimited which balance wise is a nightmare but it also means eventually even your pet deck from 7+ years ago can get some support and in Yu-Gi-Oh since the power of each card is so high that one card you get can completely change your deck to make it more viable
I will just hop into the comments for some Maxx C slander.
The card is banned in the version of YGO you play in the west - so EU, US, South America. It is however legal at 3 copies per deck in the OCG, which is what they play in Japan and the rest of Asia. In fact, they have two entirely diffrent ban lists.
As a rule of thumb, cards gets released in the OCG first and then a couple of months later, the West also gets them. To compensate the West Konami sometimes releases cards exclusive to the West.
When Master Duel was released Konami basically fused the formats together. TCG exclusive cards are playable, but the banlist is closer to the OCGs. That makes Maxx C legal and a lot of people hate palying Master Duel because of this.
Playing in a Meta, where Maxx C is legal means you need to prepare for it. You need to either stop your opponents, so you can play the game and dont lose on the spot AND make sure your opponent does not stop yours (because you want to win the game). So you have to play the maximimum number of Maxx C, Ashblossom (because it can negate the Maxx C) and Called by the Grave (as it can both negate Maxx C and Ashblossom). Furthermore you might aswell play Psyframe Gama (as it can negate Ashblossom as well) and if you are feeling realy spicy Crossout Designator (which can negate all cards as long as you are also playing them in your deck).
In the current Master Duel format that results in up to 12 cards of your deck being designated to Maxx C alone. Thats is more of a quarter for most decks and not including other staples like Inf-Imp. A good example actually comes form this video: 28:19 There is a battle of 4 cards just to stop the activation of Maxx C alone, which in the end decides the game.
So yeah, ban the card Konami.
"so EU, US, South America"
That slander against Mexico, Canada and every european country that's not in the EU though.
Bro this redemption arc is so wholesome. Learning what decks can do is some of the best.
i thought this was ages ago. and then i saw snake eye and chuckled. it still feels new and the hell it gives is too real.
Your first stance on the game was already valid. Because Yugioh is terrible at teaching new players the game, just like League of Legends, it's fair to say: 'This isn't for me.' But it's great to see you return and give it another go. I love this game, but I felt you when you didn't want to play it anymore. I went through a similar phase in my childhood when I went to my LGS and tried to play the game.
Yugioh is very much a game of extremes where it can feel like the best game ever if decks and players are at a similar power level, and the game is an interactive back-and-forth, or you just get locked out of playing it.
I stuck around because the complexity of this game was addicting. There was so much to learn, and it never got boring!
My main issue with modern Yu-Gi_Oh is that a good deck is about setting up complex combos. These combos are usually super long and complicated to pull off. Not all of them, but a good chunk of them are. This makes the game not friendly to beginners because you need to think multiple steps ahead in order to pull off a great strategy, something that you will struggle with if you don't know the game yet. Other card games make it much easier to see synergies or great combinations but Yu-Gi-Oh makes it unnecessarily complicated by adding all these extra steps that you have to pull off.
It also wastes a lot of your time, even if you don't play such a complicated deck, your opponent will most likely do and you sit just there for an entire minute, waiting until he has finished his turn or you can activate a card.
Chat outed themselves so often that they do not understand what makes swordsoul so resilient and powerful. Being in stream as this was going down hurt me as Somebody who played and still plays Swordsoul since it's release. So good job Rarran, you managed to survive being backseated by the worst swordsoul players I've ever seen.
I tried this game when the new client launched a while back and I also was super overwhelmed. I've been playing Magic The gathering for decades, but I just couldn't wrap my head around this one. I understood the basics, but there's just too much stuff going on
Yugioh experience can be summed up with: I love to see my opponent struggle
-struggle- not play the game*
@@neros_sorenthat’s a form of struggle
@@weeniehutjrs1491 A struggle, generally, is something that can be overcome. You can't just "overcome" not being able to play the game, without cheating.
With how far the games evolved the only real solutions to make it more user friendly for new players is having simpler formats which they have done with some game modes and duel simulators (duel links). They could also try to support anime decks way more to the point they’re somewhat meta to incentivise new players to give the game a shot. It’d also make for sick tournaments with OG monsters being actually viable 😂
Amazing, this guy just became a role model for every new yugioh player out there learning to play this game!
I'm still of the idea that Yu gi oh is a great game but it's not for everyone. I, a yu gi oh player, like reading a shit ton of card and getting to know most of the thousands of cards of this game. I like playing a game that's ever evolving, releasing a shit ton of new broken cards every 3 months. I like playing complicated games that challenges me on a daily basis. I like having to solve university level equations to understand what to do with the cards i have in hand. And just like me MBT likes those things, Joshua Schmidt likes those things, Farfa likes those things (minus the math part of course). And that doesn't mean you have to like them too. When you made your first video on YGO i found myself to relate a ton except i had all of those problems but with Pokemon TCG. Does this mean Pokemon is a shit ass game? No, it's just not for me. That's fine.
Also, i believe there is a big problem with our community and it's the fact that a big part of it fells like it's our duty to defend the game and make it as accessible as possible for new players. But it's not. Konami should do all those things, not us. The fact that a lot of people can't get into the game cause it's too hard is not our problem. Whether or not a million new players join our community it doesn't matter, i will still boot up master duel and play my duels.
Honestly, the initial criticism you gave to YuGiOh it's still more than justified. Getting into the game can be an awful experience, especially if you decide to play Master Duel. While I think getting into the physical card game is easier, because of some factors, no matter how you start, the beginning of the journey is awful and disheartening at times. However, I am so glad that you decided to give it a chance again. The fact that you even liked it and enjoyed yourself during that time is just a bonus in my book.
A lot of people say: how the game barely lasts a turn, how you lose to fast, how the game is so broken and bullshit all the time... While all of those points can come up while you play the game, they are mostly exaggerations, made by people who had bad experiences with a deck/format and never let it go.
I've been a player for almost 10 years now, I've been through some awful formats and meta games and I've lost to so many powerful decks over the years... but that didn't stop my enjoyment for the game. It motivated me to keep learning and keep trying and, eventually, I started to have really good results at tournaments, even winning some of them.
Every game has it's fair share of awful expansions and formats (talking to a Magic player and hearing about the amount of infinite loops they had was very interesting), but every game also has amazing and interactive formats.
I am just glad that you gave it another chance and, since now you have a good level of experience, I can't wait see some more card reviews in the future. =))
Oh, and yeah, Maxx C is a horrible card and I hope it stays on the ban list forever! =))
That's some amazing character development.
I just started playing Master Duel 8 days ago. Having over 22 years of MTG & Warhammer 40k experience, I thought I knew how to approach a new complex game, along with the rudimentary understanding of Yu-Gi-Oh mechanics, BUT OH MY FUNKING GOD! I felt graped in the ars by the UI (secret packs can eat my poo-poo, moving deck list from a website to ipad was a nightmare), solo mode is just a torture manifest and the meta... Snake Eyes and Swodsouls starting from god damn bronze. First two days I felt really stupid, like retarded even. After just over a week I am in platinum right now, it wasn't particularly difficult after I crafter my own Snake Eyes, had several "ah, gotcha!" games I am proud of, and generally the experience has been rather pleasurable. But in a BDSM way, like a pleasure from being pegged while gagged and tied. Still was a refreshing experience and I regret nothing. It is beyond me, why Yu-Gi-Oh hasn't split into more different formats, like MTG had. A format with rotation (like MTG Standard had) would kill 90% of the frustration for the new players, also giving more design space for Konami. Current "standard" feels more like Legacy in MTG and it isn't a welcoming format for new players as well. What Master Duel really made me do is to find those old yu-gi-oh cards from the early 2000s and play some "old school" games. I might be biased, cause my favorite MTG formats are Old School and Premodern, but that old yu-gi-oh was much better, and "classic" or "old school" event in Master Duel would be great. Like "vintage draft" is one of the best experiences in MTG:Online.
Good job king, I have to respect the idea of going back in to amend things and prove a point. Many of the things you said initially are true, but I think the way you got tilted and leaned into them so much is what rubbed people the wrong way. And it wasn't exactly unjustified, since the new player experience truly is awful and frustrating, but it still led to a message that was easy to misconstrue. Being able to give a similar point of view from a higher position is very respectable and if this is the final interaction with yugioh, I think it's a good one to end on
I'd love some more Magic and Darkest Dungeon content tbh. I'd watch a full 70-video series of Darkest Dungeon 2, hint hint :D
What would I give for more Rarran Darkest Dungeon content :D
Congrats, you officially sound like a Yu-Gi-Oh Player
This video has strong " being cyberbullied until you do what we want you to do" vibes. Honestly i understood what he was saying in the first video. And no i'm not a yugioh hater, i love the game hell I even collect the manga, but the game isn't fun for me anymore, and hasn't been for a while. And I also get " tips" about how i must play to enjoy the game but to force one experience to enjoy the game is the reason why I don't bother anymore.
The thing is... None of those criticisms were in any way refuted, and they still hold. So I don't think most people disagree that the game has some tremendous flaws.
Nobody refuted the criticisms in the slightest. 😂
Hop off the hate train buddy.
The thing is, Master Duel is pretty much one huge forced experience, but Yu-Gi-Oh as a whole is way more than that. And I'm not only talking about old formats, but also alternative ones that have been in oficial games released by Konami in the past. Like the turbo duels in the DS games, tag duels in the PSP ones and, heck, that one even had a survival dungeon crawler that was immensely fun.
Competitive Yu-Gi-Oh is a massive beast, and Master Duel has just that to offer + the short events every so often. And it does that in a flawed way even. But the playerbase has starved for so long for anything good besides the physical card game that anything remotely functional is praised in glory - hence Duel Links and Master Duel. I hope we get something better in the future, but Konami being Konami, it probably will never happen...
What exactly do you find fun about games in general? The weird thing about this specific card game is that you can literally play it however you want. Don't like combo decks? Play stun/control. You prefer to play decks that turn the game into puzzles? Trap decks are best at this although there are others. You want a deck that doesn't have the same end board every game? These tend to get nerfed eventually but you can make these in almost every format with some skill in deckbuilding.
Honestly yeah, Rarran's comment that he didn't give the game a fair shake in the first video because he was trying to have fun and not improve, really feels like crowd pleasing.
Ive only played for a couple months and I get where youre coming from, but I love Maxx "C". I dont even run it. I love it because it allows slower decks to remain viable. The trick to beating Maxx "C" is playing a different deck. I was completely overwhelmed by combos and just couldnt wrap my head around them (especially link) and I didnt eant to look up a guide, so I played Umi Control. Maxx "C" is basically useless against my deck because I rarely special summon.
great video. do have one small critique tho while i do agree that witing for your opponents turn to finish is a drag going second. i think your too hard on going second. it depends on how you design your deck and what archetype you are playing. personally i find nothing more satisfying then breaking my opponents oppressive negate board. and some decks are actually less enjoyable going first or flat out dont have go first plays most of the time. decks like unchained, mech knight or, crusadia generally have more options if your opponent has a field presence. and numeron or kaijus just either cant do anything going first or have to waste resorces that could be used to close games if they were going second
Yugioh imo has the highest highs and lowest lows of any card game. But that feeling of pulling off a combo or drawing Mo Ye to save a bricked hand are some of the best feelings in the world.
Rolling into Rookie with full power swoswo, you probably ruined several childrens day
i remember when i watched the first video. and i remember getting kind of irritated at the video. it wasn't because the video was bad or anything, but it felt like you were super uninformed about the game, and I felt irritated that you didn't go through much effort to actually learn the decks that you were trying to play or give the game a fair shot like the other games. i had expressed these feelings both in the comments of that video and on twitter multiple times, wishing you had given the game a fair shot. and this video more than makes up for it. i was literally raising my hands in the air, rollercoaster style, and smiling at the screen as i watched you get much better at the game. you even managed to get to a rank that i have never reached before. so i can say that what you did was certainly impressive. you really have come far, and i hope you play this game again soon. this game really is fun, and it has a lot to offer.
Yoooo 21:45 has happened to us all m8 dont feel bad 😂😂😭
I tried getting back into the game recently, and tried 2 decks. Ninjas and Branded. This is, by far, the hardest time I've ever had getting into a tcg. The community is nice for the most part, so I have no complaints there, but damn the game has so much you have to know about, and you can't learn anything when your locals is full of otk combo decks
Damn you chose some relatively decent decks (well branded is pretty good). They're a bit hard to learn though and branded has tons of different builds. You really gotta just look up a guide tbh for a deck like that and try to find a guide where someone's playing it as similarly to your build.
Ninjas are pretty easy once you've seen the combo once though. At locals irl though it kinda does feel tricky to not have an autosim show you prompts for effects you can activate especially since some ninja cards have effects in grave.
GG Rarran!!! You can be proud of the progress you made into the game, it's actually crazy how fast you learned! 👏👍👍
you became atem himself
Now, that you have given it a real chance I can agree with you, man. Yeah , there are problem with it can be enjoyable once one get over those problems.
I genuinely think you learned a lot from you past experiences and decided to give it another go. I dont think any decent yugioh player disagrees that the barrier to entry is truly horrid but after that the game is truly enjoyable for what it is. And many people were upset ypu bashed our game without giving that aspect a fair shout
If you could do this for Digimon whenever its equivalent to Master Duel comes out, then I’d be a happy camper.
@Rarran im glad you finally learned the reason we play yu gi oh is cause we love the feeling of ruining everybody's days with a super busted combo it's pure ecstasy when your opponent just doesnt know they're dead and they cant do a single thing or they surrender mid combo cause your combo is just too long and boring to watch
This looks like the POE of card games. Every single card has a paragraph or two OR THREE and that's insane. It's so complicated, but kudos to those who stuck with it to learn it 👏👏👏
I saw his first play with ash blossom. He’s like a real yugioh player, doesn’t read
Mistakes will happen in YuGiOh. It’s a complicated game. But that’s what a lot of people like about it.
You get to learn your deck, get better with it and use your knowledge of your and your opponent’s deck to come out on top. I like a lot of card games but YuGiOh just has something special that the rest don’t offer.
That said, most of your criticisms are completely valid and are things even the community complains about.
I used to play this game with friends in the 2000s and trade cards and things like that, never did more tho and the game was just nostalgic to me, I did play the trilogy of yugioh games of Power Of Chaos and the other 2. When I master duel came out I thought to myself that I'd destroy everyone with the egiptian god cards, to my shock they didn't work like in the anime and got destroyed instantly after working so hard to get them out. Then I had my villain ark and played Numerons until I understood the game better and even with that deck, I got stomped by Drytron and other decks that weren't balanced at that time. I got to diamond once when it first came out and just kept doing dailies in gold or silver because I didn't have fun climbing at all. Especially against those inbred lab players.
First you play the old console games to understand the basics and enjoy them. Once you get basics you'll enjoy yugi oh much. You will need to play gameboy yu gi oh gx duel academy. Once you complete that you can play nds 5ds championship series. Gx gives you all basics, basically the all types of spells, traps, monsters. Tests are designed in gx academy for each aspects of game. Like spells traps special summon fusion summons burning effect damage and all. 5ds will allow you to learn combo aspect of yugioh once you have foundation. Then master duel will get you into full fledged current date yugioh game. I hope few people like me would relate this
Personally, my favorite plays are when I make a comeback from a seemingly impossible odds, through a 5head genius move that either gets past a hole in the opponent’s board and defenses, or somehow hit them with a tiny technically they never expected.
this is especially true when it isnt even from any board breaker cards and extremely so when that genius play that won you the game is just so unorthodox
@@YukiFubuki. Especially when the opponent is clapping and going like "damn bro, I didn't know you were like that, okay!" because they respect the pure skills. Doubly so if it looks super jank but somehow you made it work, and they're asking for how you came up with it.
And the look on their face when you tell them you just came up with it on the fly while looking at the board is pure gold.
Like playing wild in hearthstone or legacy in mtg, yugioh is a full power format. The main gripe I have with mater duel after 100hours and hundreds of dollars to this day is the best of 1 format. I still play paper yugioh and mtg (modern) and while I’ll always have gripes about the just pure word vomit every new card is the one thing that makes everything alright is the 15card sideboards. Wether I just don’t like the meta or I just don’t get its game 2/3 the godsend of every card game and lacking it just makes master dual the most frustrating. Coming from mtg I heard 40 cards and thought I’d break the game in a day . The first time I drew 2 going second bricks 3 interactions going first I learned what the ball clamp master dual was and while I love it it’s more then rational that it just isn’t for everyone and it’s a rouge amongst rouges in the trading card universe and sometimes laughing at the insta concedes is the same as the ftks.
I have no idea why watching this internet stranger being able to immediately find the right card and on a search and name it, or use terminology like: "I can Gamma the Ash" makes me so damn proud 😂
"babe wake up Rarran is playing yu-gi-oh"
I'm a MtG player, although I have no interest in Hearthstone I watch you frequently. I think you are one of the best and most entertaining content creator out there.
HI, Ramranch! Love your video!
Me, someone who has played for a long time reading the title: why?
Yes, yugioh, open well going first and win, don't see hand traps you lose. And mistakes are heavily punished a good player will immediately catch it and take advantage. Unless you play a floodgate deck, you cant get away with playing less than perfect.
So what deck did you guys use to learn yugioh? For me it was frightfur
Past Rarran (foolishly, uneducated): This terrible game is a horrible mess
Present Rarran (calm, enlightened, wise beyond his years): This terrible game is a horrible mess when I lose the coin flip, also they should ban Maxx C
Like a true Yugioh player
IDK why people don't like going second; the comeback approach in YGO is fucking orgasmic.
Seriouslly, there is nothing like testing and prodding your opponent's board and CRUSHING them by managing your resources better.
sure sometimes you can't do shit, but that's the same as every card game...
@@REDDAWNprojectthat’s only if you are good enough to do it lol
@@REDDAWNproject because of the all or nothing nature of it. breaking a board sometimes is just impossible unless you draw the god hand

Man I hope they unban Maxx c

@@DANCERcow im with ya. unban maxx C, just for the chaos.
As a Yugioh player I can tell you that pretty much every single thing you complain about (terrible beginner experience, turns are too long, winning the coinflip matters too much, cards have too much superfluous text, etc) are all well known problems that we all complain about on a daily basis. For some reason though, when it's someone outside of the game saying it, we all start getting defensive and trying to pretend it's not true. I don't think anyone who likes this game can in good conscience say it's not extremely flawed. Anyway, kudos to you for sticking it out and trying your best to learn, set mo ye was one of the funniest things i've seen all week.
The weird thing is that if Komoney took the Hearthstone approach of using simplified game states for new players and getting a strong competitive deck at the start (the Swordsoul event is a great start), they can make the new player experience much better.
Tbh, as someone who's inside the game, it feels like the community gets defensive when I say it as well. It's the elitist mindset IMO, same as league. If someone who's not max rank or well-known in the community as a good player says this stuff, the community just gets extremely defensive and contradicts points (not all the time, and maybe not even the majority, but enough to the point that it's problematic). A new player can easily spot problems, especially if they're experienced with card games.
As a yugioh player i will nooot read all of this and give you the priority
To be fair I think most people did not have a problem with his points only his conclusion.
Every card game has a sell by date before it goes stale and gets powercrept into nonsense. Yugioh didn't just get stale, it got moldy, and at this point there's like 3 layers of mold and whatever was there originally isn't there anymore. Like for real, you're paying hundreds/thousands of dollars, and memorizing short stories for every card in your deck, all so you basically can decide the most complicated coin flip ever. It's honestly kinda sad, because there's really no way to go back from it.
You know what feels better than comboing off? Breaking full boards through so many interruptions, that’s the ecstasy
HONEST TO GOD THAT'S THE DOPAMINE RIGHT THERE
Like trying to solve a puzzle and figuring it out
True. Honestly, most players probably just scoop if the opponent is popping off but they don't have an out. I mean, a lot of Ramen's opponents did. I suppose that's the secret technique that helps the going second experience, quitting if you've got no plan lol
Gotta destroy your opponents sandcastle at the beach
That's why I play CyDra
breaking boards with swordsoul going second is so fun, i hope rarran experience that bliss 😌
Very fitting that the final duel was basically over as soon as Maxx C resolved.
i am genuinely proud that rarran took the time to learn, thank god he chose swordsoul and not that salamangreat deck, deck choice is also important for new players as well
kinda confused how it took like an hour to understand normal summon mo ye reveal a wyrm in hand when like 90% of your deck is wyrms ??? don't know what that was about but valiant effort
I wanted to play a reptile deck but they dont have any support for it still :/
@@kindklan8020 what if you dont draw moye? have you thought of that?
@@sagii1372yeah kinda like trying to learn how to play madolche but you only know the angelly line.
what about when you dont open angelly?
one of the hardest things to do in yugioh is learning a deck from scratch, it can take WEEKS for you to figure out some "secret" lines.
because its easy to learn 1-2 card combos, but you also need to learn how to use your entire hand at maximum efficiency, and that... can be really tough.
I've heard ogduatics are fun.
Maxx C is banned in the TCG, which is the western release of the game. It is however legal in the OCG, which is the Japanese release version of the game and what Master Duel's banlist is more based on
And it's funnier in hindsight that Maxx C was MADE by the TCG division and ?embraced? by the OCG
@@Gravitysonic0 99.9% yugioh cards and directions are came from Japan's devision, with some exceptions like warrock, konami eu and na aren't as independent as you think they are they are still rigid and have to follow konami japan direction, take my words as a reality check, they released maxx c or what we call suru G here, because they think that's what the tcg players wants.
@@r3zaful lol so Konami JP actually made the mistake of Maxx C and is too dumb to correct it. They also created the combo situation that required maxx c too... Almost like they got no clue how to balance their game and have been doing worse without Upper Decks help so it would be better if the TCG got away from the bad ocg rules.
They also design entire decks around it. Some of the more recent meta decks either don't summon much, can end their combo while still putting up interruptions, or play on the opponents turn. So when Konami wants a deck to be good in the OCG they make it play very well under Maxx C.
Sometimes though it doesn't translate very well into the TCG because the amount of special summons a deck does are irrelevant there (unless if Nibiru) because of Maxx C being banned so the deck isn't as strong as it is in the OCG at times.
maybe that's why both their new banlists are terrible
The fact that Rarran’s chat gave him salad as his first deck will always bewilder me
- Link is the easiest Extra Deck mechanic.
- Very straightforward lines, even more streamlined than Swordsoul.
- If you exclude the Nibiru token, all he has to deal are Cyberse/Effect/FIRE monsters, unlike Wyrm lock (vs Baronne) / Tenyi lock (Shaman) and other niche scenarios that can be frustrating.
- The intermediate combo of Accesscode is way easier compared to Baxia/Yazi lines.
If Josh (salad lover) swapped with Farfa he would have the same results because it's one person giving you the advice instead of a thousand different points of view at the same time.
@@babrad yeah but you have to know in-depth combo lines for good boards where Swordsoul summons moye, add longyuan and you have a monster and an omni.
@@babradokay but you’re still wrong salad is a bad first player deck lol
@@looneyloonatic I disagree. I introduced the game to a lot of new players with the salad structure deck back in 2019, when before that I did that with the Dino one.
My argument is that it's not about the deck, but having a proper guide. Chat of 1000+ people doesn't have the focus one person would have
I think he had a Dragonmaid deck before switching to Salads, I guess chat thought it was easier to make a meta Salad deck than a meta Dragonmaid deck.
This is genuinely one of the best character arcs I’ve ever seen regarding this game. The dedication. The training. The empowerment!!! He has ASCENDED!!! He is THE SWORD OF SOULS!!! LETS GOOOOOOO
and the final realisation that :" wait a minute, this maxx c card sucks" hahahahahaha
@@eligiobuscema6829 The realization every yugioh player has to go through at one point in their lives, really.
I'm glad Rarran gave Yu-Gi-Oh! enough of a chance to be able to have fun with it and see why we love it so much. As a YGO player, his criticisms are all very fair, and we've been complaining about Maxx C for years too lol. YGO has a lot of flaws but it's such a unique game that it has a special place in my heart (even if a lot of other games are objectively more fun)
You mean dumbed down. There has to be one game that stands out compared to the others in Complexity. Dark Souls is that for Open World RPG's and Yu-Gi-Oh is the Dark Souls equivalent for Card Games
@kaimobley5324
Gotta disagree with you that Yugioh is the dark souls of card games. Yugioh is a complicated game, but many of the interactions/combos are predetermined, flashy af but still almost always end at the same state.
A more accurate description is its the Steet fighter or Mortal Kombat of card games. High octane action that ends in a pretty short explosion depending on who can get their well practiced hit in first.
To me magic is a more complex game, where sure you have practiced lines but you can deviate in numerous directions. That makes the slow burn a bit more Dark Soulsy to me.
That said neither are better or worse. Just different.
Nice 😮
@@joshprice4855 I 100% agree that YGO more like a fighting game than a board game like MTG. But i disagree about complexity specifically due to the fact of how Chain Links VS Stack works making YGO way more punishing, in addition to the overload of information, pressure for timely response and worse game design (lack of keywords, situational rulings) when we compare the Advanced Formats.
I know it's anecdotal evidence but just like Elden Ring made me breeze through Hogwards Legacy (to the point of installing "Harder" mods), i felt the exact same when i picked up MTG and after a week i was undefeated for 2 months in my locals with Glissa the Traitor a decade+ ago to the point it felt boring and i stopped playing. BTW this is not bashing MTG as a simple game, but more like YGO is tooooo complex for no reason (i mainly blame bad design) to the point of becoming an overall better player.
@@babradIt's like a fighting game where you roll a dice to see which of your buttons are locked for the first 20s, if any. I still hate that his game doesn't have a mulligan 25 years later.
can't believe rarran is playing yu gi oh again
So excited to see ram ranch try out my game.
He’s a content creator and these videos get boat loads of views. He’d be foolish not to.
The fact that Rarran landed on the conclusion that Maxx C is dumb (aka needs to be banned) lets you know all you need to, man's played enough of the game to know.
btw, actually had a lot of fun watching him stream the game, happy to see that he actually enjoyed Synchro focused deck as that is my favorite extra deck monsters.
Also seeing how often Rarran top decked like a god in this game was amazing, man's clearly the IRL version of Yu-gi Moto.
Ending conclusion was pretty good basically being yu-gi-oh is good for what it provides once you gotten deep enough into it (the feeling of getting a big combo done etc.) but it still needs to vastly improve the new player experience.
Yeah I really don’t understand people who think synchros is a hard mechanic
I’m an idiot who picked up this game 4-5 months ago and I think my only real mistake with the synchro mechanic was wondering why u couldn’t synchro my 2 level 4 monsters
They were both tuners and I ramped there levels up using card effects to get monster abilities abd u fucked my brain over dince it associated turners with low level monsters
I still prefer Maxx C being in the game to the alternative of going 2nd being an auto loss.
Yugioh is indeed quite overwhelming starting out, because every deck is it's own beast to learn and not just learning the deck itself, but how it interacts with every single other deck, so I never blamed you for not wanting to play it after the first attempt. That said, mad respects for actually giving it a second shot and getting so far with it.
Side note: Max-C is indeed busted and we all question why the OCG format (which Master Dule uses) still has it legal.
Master Duel is not OCG format, it's mainly it's own format because of different banlist philosophy and card release date. But yeah, Maxx C should be banned or errated and probably 95% of player base thinks the same. Shame what Konami don't play it's own game
@@mopsik56 Tbf there are some rule differences in how TCG and OCG format is executed; mainly when it revolves around public and private information and how chaining works (I mean I guess it makes sense considering it's a video game and slowing the game down to let you build your own chains even while they would be simultaneous makes sense). So iirc Master Duel does use the OCG more in than the TCG format in that sense as well.
@@mopsik56master duel is using ocg rulings and they will never answer any rulings questions and bugs in English, yes they will ignore every single English complaints as you can see in farfa's video, that's a testament that master duel is pretty much an ocg based not tcg lmao.
@@r3zafulSo basically I gotta learn Japanese? Damn I never thought not learning a second language would actually come back to bite me.
"Man this game sucks, I can't wait to dumpster my opponent with my sick combo" is the true yugioh experience that seems insane to anyone that hasn't put a ton of hours in
Also yes, good to see you on the #banmaxxC train!
I think you nailed it honestly 90% of my enjoyment from yugioh comes from these big fuck off combos and the yugi muto moments. Theres NO other card game ive ever played that scratches BOTH of those itches at the exact same time. I found you from picking up hearthstone for the first time in like 6 years. Glad you had a much better time.
I mean no other card game gets close to Yugioh when it comes to potential combos either. Famously Blue Blooded Oni FTK had a 90 step combo (this is the basic one, the complex ones with weaker hands can be over 200 steps I think?) that took like 40 minutes to execute at fast play pace
@@mooncalf_4534 jesus 200 steps? That shit is crazy
I wana pull off Playmaker’s BS combos lol, that’s the whole reason I am building Cyberse Link deck.
@@lordgrub12345Some of the vailantz, DDD and Ritual Beast lines can easily take that amount of steps
@@mooncalf_4534"Oni for Oni" god that history of Yu-Gi-Oh episode was abysmal lmao.
And let's not forget about Gishki FTK. That combo takes just as long.
The Maxx C Ted Talk was the best 😂😂😂 proud of you Rarran!
I love how the "Maxx C bad" take completely redeemed Rarran in the eyes of most players.
This was a great video, I'm glad you came back and actually found enjoyment in this game. It has a lot of flaws, but it puts some things on the table no other card game can provide. The streams were a lot of fun to watch too! It'd be fun to see you come back eventually to keep learning and improving.
It did not. What redeemed him is he admited in his previos video that he was not actually trying to play or learn and applogising for how bad that vid was
@@mrbubbles6468 I don't think he owed an apology, most of the criticism in the last video was valid at the end of the day, I wouldn't call it a bad video, because realistically that's what the new player experience will be for a lot of people.
Right now we have a 2004 event. Which is using cards that only existed in 2004 and before.
It is honestly ALOT of fun. The game is much slower and you have more fun options using cards that you normaly never would. There are some staple cards for sure but it's not the 1 turn death bord like the currant game.
Explain more. I miss the 1 monster a turn steady increase of power.
I stopped playing a little after elemental heroes were released.
@@GalavantmanIt is a short event where you can only use old school cards.
Hoping that they'll at least consider the idea of making this a long term thing. I actually like modern YuGiOh to some degree, but every now and again I just want that old school experience.
@@RaidZerohThat's what everyone is hoping for. It wouldn't cost them anything ether.
@@RaidZeroh play goat simulators. The mode in master duel is garbage. It is so rng dependent and boring. I genuinely had some gamestates were I had to wait for my opponent to get the out because he had a zero attack relinquished with another relinquished atached to it. It was insufferable.
Played Master Duel at the top rank the first couple seasons, but it got boring fast having every match end on the first turn essentially coming down to a coin flip of who drew more hand traps. Felt like I was playing solitaire. The best card games have lots of interactivity and less RNG.
You can tell he's a real yugioh player now because he has opinions on Maxx-C.
I really enjoy rarran's content but between his chat (which has some very strongly-opinionated braindead individuals) and YGO fanboys (great game btw, I love Kazuki Takahashi, but the playerbase lives in their own little bubble), I feel bad for the guy sometimes for the amount of dumb takes he has to power through
It's not like the playerbase isn't complaining about some of the things Rarran mentioned, the issue was always the overexaggeration on things he obviously didn't know/understand
i find it funny when someone complains that konami ruined the game made by takahashi while takahashi was still involved with them
The chat during his Yugioh sessions has been horrible so far. Lots of bad advice and nothing to help him understand the game better. Literally only mediocre backseat gaming.
@@ObviouslyDeven Yeah the worst part is he had actual good players and yugitubers in chat but couldnt really distinguish them from randos
@@Yusodus whoever recommended salamangreat as a starter should've been banned for lifetime
As a Yugioh player, I love Yugioh because sometimes you get the most epic duels and moments you've experienced in all of your gaming career. Yes, format can be extremely dull (I think current MD format is boring for example) and sometimes unbalanced. But when you have a 20 turn duel with extreme back and forth, you have SO MUCH fun.
I've tried to return to HS and climbed for something like high Gold and after epic duels Yugioh can offer it felt so dull
I do rather have a 6-7 turn duels than having a war of attrition with snake eyes players, I'm not going to make it.
L take, the sneyes attrition wars are amazing, way more fun than Superheavy Spamurai.@@r3zaful
@@r3zaful Although attrition war against snake eyes is pretty much decided by the timer than anything else...
IMO problem with HS (I played til Saviors of Uldum for context) is that eventually it's all just playing on curve, there are very few moments were you can have the sort of interactions that happen in YGO like making your opponent's cards whiff by chaining another card. Also wish HS had more crazy concepts like Spell Only Hunter or Highlander, YGO has wacky stuff like alternate win conditions, playing with no cards in hand, milling, locking zones, etc (mostly in the past tho, most decks now just build boards of negates).
Had the same experience with the Pokemon TCG, it's a way fairer & easier game to understand, but it was boring after a while because I'm used to Yu-Gi-Oh's awfulness (& sometimes it's actual good moments)
holy shit that Mo Ye copypasta in chat at 11:00 just sent me to the moon man
Any time a non-yugioh player asks me about the game I always describe it as not a card game but a fighting game (street fighter, tekken, ext).
Dragon ball fighters Z would probably be a good analogy lightning fast, few interaction points and flashy as all hell
Oh, I knew it. I said it in one of his vods that he’d be hooked on Yu-Gi-Oh and him saying that he misses it at the end confirms my statement.
But also congratulations love you. I’m so glad you gave Yu-Gi-Oh a chance. Loved watching you live you’re amazing.
As a yugioh player, I promise you... the community was way too harsh on you from the get go. "just read the card" is all well and good when you've been playing since childhood and can actually contextualize why/how you would want to use a card at any point and time. I would say the most annoying aspect of getting into the game isn't even the difficulty, but the elitist community that willl act like the game isn't extremely difficult to grasp and get into.
20:19
What's funny is bouncing the Waterfront with Vishuda was actually really good here, it gets rid of those 5 counters on it.
Rarran went through his character development arc 👏🤧
12:04 As a Yu-Gi-Oh! Player, this pretty much summed up my experience coaching my friend on how to use a Combo Deck. (We BOTH had a very hard time understanding what to do.)
The card game does not hold your hand through it all, the competitive scene is horrible but 'that's just how the game is'. Once you get a fair chance at playing the game, it is really fun, once you face someone of your level and with a deck that allows interactions, it is also really fun. Sadly, with how many interruptions there are in it, and how long the turns can take, it becomes quite less entertaining and more "Bro! Are you done yet?!", the musical.
I'd play Magic over YGO any time if I could.
EDIT: 28:54 These will never not be the most satisfying moments in Yu-Gi-Oh!
You can, there's nothing stopping you other than your own will
Lack of devices that I can play the game on. So I am stuck in Purgatory (Yu-Gi-Oh!)
Competitive scene is completely fine. Sure there are bad metas, but every other card game has bad metas as well. Good players can actually play good games, but it's easy to just say that going 2nd is auto lose (which Rarran also did during his massive rant and in this video he actually goes back on that).
I unironically think YGO is the fastest card game that I have ever played, though I admit I have huge biases since I don't spend a ton of hours in other card games besides YGO and Vanguard.
For example, if my opponent normal summon Mo Ye, I'll look into my hand and see if I can stop or deal with at least Chixiao, Baronne, and Blackout. If I can't, then I will not wait and move on to the next game.
I'm not saying whether it's a good or bad thing about YGO. I just want to share why I feel it's fast despite 5-minute turns being common in this game.
@Yusodus It is easy to say that going Second just loses your game, until you learn what Kaijus, Lava Golem and the Sphere (Which Rarran got introduced to in one of his Games on Streams) can do.
However, that is a case of 'just draw the out'.
EDIT: Yeah, the Competitive Scene could be alright if you're ready for it. The Meta is bad but other Card Games pretty much had the same thing going on so you got a good point. Maybe I'm just glaring at Master Duel's SPECIFICALY because you *need* to play Ranked to do your daily missions. Which exposes me to Snake-Eyes. With a deck that can't play the game against it.
The amount of work rarran had to do to even know how to play his deck should say everything you need to know about yugioh as a game lol
You love to see it, I was there watching the streams and it was a fun time seeing you try to understand yugioh also the farfa collab was amazing teaching tool to be linked to players who want to learn sword soul.
Another thing is theres an option to go 2nd since there are gigachad decks that blind second like
8axis, sky striker, numerons, cyber dragons, mikanko etc.
Cyber Dragons are so funny because you can just contact fuse your opponent's Link Monsters. Sorry, you had a plan for that Masquerena? Nah, I get a basically free 2400 beatstick.
Adventure Horus Kaiju.
If that deck doesn't OTK you going second, it ends on a 6 mat Zeus. Blows away a ton of decks that never suspect it.
Dragonlink at one point was a going second beast of a deck due to having soo many engines (miss that beautiful casual friendly meta deck)
@@Honest_Mids_Masher I just love how dragon link survives and stayed in the meta for fuckin years being a dragon pile
@@DylenizI loved it because of how long it survived it became a deck that casuals could just invest in and then never have to focus on getting a new meta deck again because of Dragonlink being soo resilient. It sucks soo much with what happened to it in MD.
honestly an amazing achievement and it's insane how committed you were
"Yugi became a great duelist"
That's unambigiously the funniest joke in the entire video.
7:52 Never ever doubt the player base's aversion to reading. I've made it to Master playing Spright (pre-nimble ban) without knowing Gigantic and Starter lock you into level 2's, I always just assume it was just special summon a level 2 no cost.
This has been the greatest redemption arc ive ever seen. You have my absolute respect forever for doing this and Im so glad you got to appreciate (if not always enjoy) our silly little card game. I think I speak for a lot of us when I say thank you!!
I really appreciate your journey rarran, because modern yugioh is so far from other game in terms of beginner friendliness and learning curve that i can't even imagine someone completely new playing this game. But for most old player even if they aren't that competitive, there's no other game that can match the craziness of yugioh game. It absolutely similar to moba, fps, and other competitive game that as bad as your game is, you still keep playing it.
This game has functioned very weirdly to others, and it’s so ungodly hard to wonder how it ever existed this long to see the insane decks we have today
Power creep. Not that hard to imagine.
Power Creep + Anime.
The game in its core has been the same as the beginning. One player makes plays while the other has interaction. Whether the interaction is the titular "You've activated my trap card!" or "I'm gonna Ash that," these interactions between players is what pushes the design.
Komoney wants to sell cards and they will print almost anything to do it. They have this “fix it in post” mentality where they release broken cards, ban it, and then either unban it when the powercreep has caught up to it, or just release an errata that change how the card works (RIP Chaos Emperor Dragon…), and basically nerf it into the ground.
Chat was absolutely DEVIOUS for giving him salad the first time though.
It’s a real easy deck to learn and play. There’s a reason it was a SD IRL.
Issue was, as Raran says, he was not really playing the card game in his first video. Him failing with Salads was entirely on him.
How did you miss the entire point of all of this@@mrbubbles6468
So technically maxx c isn't banned in "IRL" Yu-Gi-Oh, it's banned in ENGLISH Yu-Gi-Oh. The banned lists are different from the TCG (English) and the OCG (Japanese). The system you are currently playing on uses the OCG banned list, the biggest of those differences however IS Maxx C, because the card is very powerful
Rarran really gave "gun against my head" at the end
I dont get it. The game is still literally about memorizing combos and praying they dont get interrupted. It's still a game of solitaire. Where is the euphoria in that?
Rarran, it's super respectable to see you come back and try this game again that is loved by so many people. I'm just writing down some thoughts I'm having while watching and commenting on what I'm seeing.
I quit playing when I was a young teen and didn't start again until I was 23. At this point we had gone from only fusion monsters to now full powered Links. It was super jarring at first and my intro to the new pace of Yugioh was actually through a water structure deck from back in the mid 2000's. I started adding synchro here and there and then practicing by myself to see what each card could do. Eventually, by playing with that one deck, I was able to get a good understanding of the more modern playstyle.
My introduction to MD (Master Duel) was after dueling my friends for a while, but anytime I learn a new deck that looks fun, I do the same thing. I duel against bots for like1 hour and then take it online.
I'm glad Farfa had you play Swordsoul. It's a very consistent deck and makes it great for learning simple, but very powerful combos.
The minutia of combos and different interactions is the real learning curve and going more in depth with just one deck is great and it's good to see you figure it out.
People that are really good make mistakes still in the game, it's a common occurrence actually.
Going second can be awful, but different decks handle it better than others. Combo decks tend to want to go first.
Maxx C, yes the card that any sane player hates because it's one of the most anti fun cards in existence.
Finally, yes, the newcomer experience is abysmal. It really is hard to attract new players to this game.
as a yugioh player that quit the game for hearthstone, i found your first video to be fine, you were spot on with many of the criticisms, there were a couple things you were off on, but the fact that you put 10 hours in and still had things you weren't right on just further highlights how difficult the game is to get into
His video admits he quit 4 hours in.
And he said he wasn’t actively trying to learn it.
It’s why lots of people got mad. Because he was saying the game had issues when it did not.
Yugioh is not a complicated game. People go in thinking it will be like Magic and all the other card games they played and complain when it is not. Those players also never bring up that it took just as long to learn their first completely new cardgame. And that the cardpool is always daunting.
Another reason why I think no one really watches yugioh is because you cant watch it as a casual player, these decks and combos take actual studying to understand so its not like me or anyone else whos only see say the anime or watched a couple of youtube videos would get anything out of watching pro players play, its not like we understand the skill or plays going on, only that there are cards being played.
That's more of a presentation issue though. If Yugioh videos and match showcase people took stuff from how some Hearthstone content creators show cards or relevant effects (usually with a simple pop up of the card with the text), then maybe it might be easier for casuals to watch.
Love the recap near the end. Basically how I felt playing YGO, and why I love mobas and fighting games. Making the other player hate their lives is peak gameplay.
lmao I bet you have a rich social life
I'm so glad you took a second chance with this game and got to see the good side of the game and why people love it so much
Also preach harder about how Maxx "C" is bad for the game we yugioh players love to see it.
ngl i hated your first video. it was uneducated trash talk. now you got my respect, youre one of us and can trash talk all you want. i will probably agree with most things. you experienced the highs and the lows and pulled trough 🤝
No, you're original take was on point.
You didn't learn to play yugioh. You simply bought into the broken new system by making sure you got a "professional" to build you a cheese deck and follow the meta.
You might not realize this until you're average matches consist of 4 min rounds of negating all your opponent moves until they don't even play.
you got tricked, farfa just wanted someone to use his code...
