How to play yu gi oh: 1. Sit quietly while your opponent plays an ftk deck 2. Wait for your opponent to surrender because he messed up somewhere in the process 3. Win by default
Anyone who loves oldschool yugioh here ? Edit: wow that's my most liked youtube comment ! Thank you guys ! I noticed that after a year. That's the heart of the cards !
. . extra linking isn't that complicated, anyways Mimikyu 351 you can play some extremely simplified decks in terms of how they utilize the extra & they're some of the best decks right now, such as Sky Striker & Altergeist, or old decks such as Burning Abyss with Links added or a newer deck like True Draco that doesn't even use the extra at all though those are more rogue they still can top events, there's also the classics like stun & chain burn that play much the same though stun has a ton of new tools in traps & monsters. You could even go with something like Hand Trap Artifact Trickstar for a new twist on an old concept which is sound playing with minimal Link combos.
"play extremely simplified decks like sky strikers and altergeist". Fucking kidding me. Yeah I know, "in terms of extra deck" but playing decks that are not budget and the antithesis of helmet is defeating the point of "simplified".
@@problemseyes7126 but it didn't solve that since any decent deck would run links monster. Since Link monsters can free up more space for Link monsters they're basically a engine that can be exploited alongside pendulum summoning .It ultimately didn't slow down the game in the slightest just made it more complicated by adding a bunch of additional rules.
Anything that is not Link related is the best. I'm not sacrificing my Extra Monsters to put a 5 cards in there to special summon them. No fucking thanks.
Y’all ever think that maybe the only reason Yugioh is gaining more players is because you’re almost guaranteed wins simply by buying specific decks? Like people use it as investment

I half expected this video to be full of stuff like, Impermanence is a staple for 2019 and Danger is a major threat so make sure you have at least 6 hand traps. that sort of thing lol
I used to play my son bought cards and I saw them and I said oh I can teach you. 1 of the monsters had link where defense was suppose to be and here I am
Me and buddies play pre-Link rules. Pretty much lost all interest after they completely changed a perfectly fine and years-tested game. No hate for those who enjoy it, of course.
Yo! this was dope. I got that switch yugioh game and got lost on doing a mission because of the new mechanics. I love to learn more, so you got a sub. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I played Yugioh when I was a little kid and now I found my old cards and want to get back into this complicated game again. Really helped me understand the game better!
Eyyy this is exactly for me. Stopped playing back in 2011 cause I was burned out and started Mtg, then burned outta that and wanted to start up yugioh again and it is nothing like it once was. Honestly appreciate this video!
Wonderful job. I understood everything you said. I am an old school player and stopped when synchros came into play. Thanks for catching me up. I'll definitely be checking out your playlist.
Pendulums may have been the step stone for the ruinification but links is what ruined it. Why should I give up 5 cards in my Extra Monster Zone for a new type of card that will not help much but is required to use in order to bring out another Extra Monster? NO FUCKING THANKS!
Oh my god... Why? I played the game in 2003, one of the best memories of my childhood, but now, I'm really not wanting to returning to it. Is there a format that works like the old game?
Playing through backrow in 2009 - Grinding through, not over extending, making reads, and tracking what your opponent has gone through and what's relevant. Playing through backrow in 2019 - "End of Battle Phase?"
@@CommanderZer If you play Control/Combo Stun, you most of the time don't get OTK, the only way to lose is your board is outed and they out-grind you and FTK is a slow agonizing match lost watching your opponent play solitaire when you don't draw your handtrap.
Although most returning players might disagree with me, I think this new generation of Yu-Gi-Oh! is amazing. I love the fact the game is so complex. All of the summoning mechanics have brought different and better decks. Synchro, Link, Pendulum, XYZ, Ritual, and Fusion Monsters have changed the completely, and the changes are amazing, bringing different, better and harder decks to compete with.
I hate that they changed the playing field tho. They spot for special summoned monsters I don't like but can live with. The new pendulum spots are stupid tho. Honestly, the entire mechanic is stupid. Tho I don't play YuGiOh, I can't imagine anything more discouraging than an opponent summoning 5 monsters in one turn because of that mechanic.
Hey Cimo, just discovered your channel and watched your how to play YGO series. I haven't played since 2005ish (and 9 years old) and am now getting back into it and preparing to play competitively. There's quite a learning curve what with all the new kinds of monsters and summoning mechanics, as well as the vast number of archetypes and strategies. This series helped me out a lot, so thank you. Though I probably still won't utilize the new monsters until I figure out how to incorporate them into a deck strategy and learn through losing to them, I'm sure. I think it would be a great benefit to your channel and a lot of new players to make a How To Play Yu-Gi-Oh in 2020 video and instead of briefly addressing the mechanics, go in depth with the very helpful visual examples, and make an hour long video if it has to be that long. Also, I recommend a deckbuilding video for new or returning players as I've scoured youtube and haven't found very good resources for that personally. If you or anyone else reading this has any suggestions for a video or channel that goes in depth on deckbuilding, I'd very much appreciate a link of the URL variety. Thanks again for these how to videos! The new rule on no first turn draws blew my mind.
As somebody that dropped out of Yu-Gi-Oh! towards the latter portion of the synchro era, I’m so glad to see that a mechanic was put in place to balance extra deck monsters, particularly Synchros. I remembered seeing decks like X-Sabers that could pretty consistently pull out 1-2 (sometimes 3) synchros on the first turn with 2000+ ATK and some pretty broken effects. Any mechanic that allows you to (without needing to necessarily be lucky) pull out that much field power on turn one just seems like turning Power Creep into Power Running to the Port-a-Potty with Chili Festival Shits. But then again I understand that having big monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh! isnt really that important anymore
I played 2006 the last time so i have sone questions. It seems oldschool yugio just got killed of these new systems and it seems there are sooo many differemt cards that it will be hsrd to have any overview.. Soooo, do i need to know all new cards since then? Is it possible to have a chance nowadays with oldschool decks? (gx decks like crystal beasts) And is it possible to get a descent deck with not too much money? And are there players who boykott the new yugioh and just play with oldschool decks?
I haven't played the card game in such a long time (most recent summoning mechanic I know is Synchros), so this was very informative and well made for someone like me. As someone who is clueless about the rest: XYZs seem very cool, Pendulums look like a mess, and I'm not sure how to feel about Links but limiting the extra deck summoning and trying to unlock more spaces seems interesting. But I think I'm gonna stick to Duel Links for YGO and wait for that to update with these mechanics lol. Looking forward to XYZs at least.
That might be a problem due to some of the Xyz monsters requires Four or more monsters for the materials unless they have an effect lik Number C32: Shark Drake Veiss where you can use the Number 32: Shark Drake to bring out Number C32 and Number 36 and it's overlay units as well.
My friend and I have picked the game back up after not playing for years. I stopped playing right as synchro summoning came about, and it all seemed pretty intimidating, but it's still quite straightforward! I love these new mechanics!
I Almost Totally Forgot.... 4= Cards Usually Have Longer Texts and or Complicated Effects and or Requirements to Activate those Effects 5= Official Torments Have Time Limits Now and in an Event of Ties or Draws the one with the Highest LP Wins 6= And Finally= There are Special Traps now Called “Hand Traps” Basically Trap Cards you Activate from well....your Hand...Pretty Self Explanatory Bonus= No One Just Buy One Pack and be satisfied with that anymore, everyone Buys Multiple Packs of the same Pack just to see if they get the Best Cards from it and as for everything else... Basically who cares mind as well Trash. And while on the Subject Cards that where $120 a Piece Back in the Day are Easer to Obtain but they or at least most of them are in Common Bonus 2= It is usually Costumery to Not Only Declare what Phase you are on but also on what you are about to do Currently like for example if what to Attack or are Discarding a Card to activate an X Effect Bonus 3= Buying and Trading and Selling Cards Now a Days is like Buying Trading and Selling Stocks the Value is Constantly Changing. Bonus 4= And Finally= The Best Chances of you Winning is to Keep Up with the Best Decks and the Top Decks and do your very Best to Copy or even Improve Upon that X Best Deck.
I came here because I used to watch your videos all the time. I had unsubbed from you around 2-3 years ago because I stopped playing Yugioh for good. I had the noatalgia bug hit me and wanted to see what state the game is in now. I came to you first because I remember the high quality content you used to make and I wanted to let you know you did not dissapoint. Your content is just as clean and professionally done as I remember, excellent work explaining everything! With that said, I'm not coming back to Yugioh. The game has juat changed too much for my taste. The pendulum summoning(prior to the rule changes) really took a toll on how much fun I could have with the game and link aummoning made me quit. I miss what the game used to be.
I just started playing again after 13 years, and it's far more affordable now than it was back in 2001-2006ish. At least now starter/structure decks can actually be viable. If you plan on going to giant tournaments, then sure, you're probably going to need to spend a few hundred to win. But, if you're just playing with friends or going to a small local tournament (depending where you live) you can easily make a really good deck for ~$40.
Thank you! The Pendullums actually stuck. But I'm gonna have to keep coming back, and study every part of the new ways to play with your video and maybe even more videos as well. I've been thinking about actually dueling in local tourney's in my city. Good way to get packs on top of card budget.
To trade, or not to trade? Once upon a time, there was a teenager card collector who has alot of money to collect them all. He came to an old card shop and found a card that he really wanted. The owner were an old man. The teenager offer him a suitcase full of his rarest collection to trade with that card, but the owner refused. Needless to say that the teenager's upset. Days later, the teenager abducted the old man and tortured him to submission, taking the long-desired card he longed since he begin his cards collecting journey. Corrupted by his greed, he ripped the said card, the last card of the only 4 in the world. Because he knew the value. Because he knew, how horrible it will be to face one as his opponent. But then guess what? Years later, the teenager become the best duelist in the world, second only to the grandchild of the card shop owner. If only the card shop owner accepted the trade in the first place, none of this would have happen. The old man would plusses so much from that trade, and the boy would be more than happy to own that card! But then, the journey would never started. The boy would never become the duelist known by the world by his power and teached the next generation of duelist through academy he founded years later. Moral of the story: Life will found it's way. Journeys and adventures begins from a decision, no matter which you take, it will be priceless experience, or you could call it, a *GOLDEN EXPERIENCE* .
you forgot fusion spells now fuse from the deck and ritual monsters have effects in the hand and ritual spells have effects in the grave.Also tokens are broken now,traps are bad and every single monster can search,destroy or float.Also if you stop your opponent from special summoning or searching,during the end phase you can add 5 pieces of exodia to your hand.
After watching this I decided to stick with the old format... No link summoning No synchro No XYZ One player plays a field spell Tribute summoning Ritual summoning... Yeah
Oh my God thank you so much! I just picked up the starter link deck and was curious on how to play with the new rules. I stopped playing after Synchro came because it felt like too much. This has definitely helped me, you earned the like and sub.
saying ring of destruction isn't good, yet with so many smaller monsters being put on the field to climb up link ladders taking out 1 key monster to halt a strategy is kinda worth the hit to the lp.
I play magic not so much yugioh. Heard the link monsters unlock zones. Question. What if I have a stardust in my extra zone, then I sacrifice it via its ability. Then main phase 2 I summon another synchro, at end of turn does my stardust not come back because I don’t have link monsters to increase my extra monster zones?
I used to religiously play this game on DN. I didn’t have a car or any money really at the time to invest in a top tier deck so it got me by. I went from using MST to negate to understanding chaining and what misses timing when. I was a confident duelist back in 2015 when IT WAS FUN! yugioh has took a very dramatic change for the worse.. and now I don’t even know where to begin
I started playing again recently after quitting when pendulums came out. I miss the old ygo ays when counterplay was a thing. I remember when heavy storm and monster reborn. Hand traps are hard to counter and i felt that both players could play ygo on a combo oriented format. Now its just ftks
We have a card specifically dedicated to countering hand traps but it also serves other purposes so i don't know what you're talking about. Called By the grave and Gamma are both counters and monster reborn is legal again so I too remember when monster reborn. I mean I also remember when heavy storm but that's beside the point.
Well, since Konami owns the game their definition is always the "real" yugioh. Also If you want to play 2002 La Jinn beatdown, you can do that. Just not against anything released since like 2004 and after.
Last time I really was into Yugioh was around early 2015 I believe? It was when Lightsworn was pretty new maybe 1 or 2 months old and that’s what I ran at the time. It’s so crazy now. Felice the lightsworn archer used to be a 10 dollar card, now it’s $1.00. I built a strong lightsworn deck and quit playing after my buddy died and the rest of us just stopped playing, After about a 5 year hiatus I have finally started looking around and this game has changed so much. Lightsworn isn’t even a thing anymore. Crazy.
there are no tier 1 OTK decks atm, Chaos Thunder Dragon sometimes can but often won't , same for Danger Dark Warrior though they're at least a little more likely to be able to
Dude i never write comments, but hell yeah your video was informative! Gonna buy me a deck tomorrow ! Starting like you said at the beginning of the video, back in the "normal" times of yu gi ho xD back when Synchro was something u did when u updated your Iphone hahaha ^^ keep it up !
ugh , if that was all it was it wouldn't be so bad , people have learn't that when they play or play vs grindy decks, win game 1 & lose game 2, if they do everything possible(legally) to slow down game 2 they can be the only person with a battle phase game 3, there's all sorts of dumb timer optimizations like that that just make tournament experience rn a bad representation of an ideal competitive frame of the game, eh, wtv ig
How to play yugioh in 2019: hack the game (online play, of course) and limit both players to one or two special summons per turn (including xyz, fusion, synchro and link).
You literally described my exact situation in the first minute, i’m glad I found this vid man I want to get back into it but pendulums and links or whatever are a little confusing to me, however i’m trying my best here lmao
When effect monsters actually mattered and had good effects. Now every damn monster is a special snowflake, but doesn't have that sweet ass vanilla lore in it's description that made each card interesting. now the cards are just nothings that are used for their effects, just a complicated math game, and each card picture is as disposeable as (insert cool looking anime looking thing here" that you know fuck all about.
Spook13Jayy u mean that boring time when all you fucking did was say”OmG yUgI I aTtAcK YoU with FuCkInG BlUe EYeS sHiT dRaGon” to win the game I like the game now because it’s interesting and I like hard and complicated stuff I feel excited when I’m about to face a deck I don’t know about unlike before where every card was a normal fucking card it feels satisfying to pull off a hard summon or a good combo and then destroy your opponent
I feel like all of the additions have been valid and added to the game except Links. Monsters- monsters (self explanatory) some have great stats, some have great effects, some have both. Fusions- combine multiple monsters to get stronger monsters usually with great stats and effects. A few methods to get them out such as polymerization or contact fusion. Synchro- combine weaker mobsters to summon a strong one similar to fusion, but without the need for spell cards, etc. just need the right cards on the field. But the total levels have to properly equal that of the synchro. Synchros can have great effects and stats similar to fusions. XYZ- just need the right cards on the field with matching levels and maybe another requirement to overlay into an XYZ monster. Usually have great stats and amazing effects but their effect usage is limited/balanced to how many XYZ units it has so it can’t be too OP. Pendulum- Can swarm the field based on the pendulum scale and really mix things up and make unique decks for those that want to. Not everyone is into pendulum mechanics. Link- we have to change the entire field and core rules of the game because we’re in too deep to undo this mistake.
How to play Yu-gi-oh in 2019- summon a million monsters a turn or wait 30 minutes wile opponent does it. i quit the minute plenums came out. This game is dead to me now and its sad because i loved this game and play for at least 12 years. its just too fast, complicated, over powered and unfun now.
I stopped playing a little after the xyz monsters and boy o boy has it changed can’t wait to look up new meta really hoping my six sams can make a come back
Anyone that is wanting something like classic YGO before all the new mechanics like link monsters and pendulums should check out speed duels. It's a kind of new format that has less monster and spell/trap zones, no extra monster zones, and fusion monsters are the only extra deck cards for it so far.
You first try to make a board out of 0-2 cards, play without searching or get out resourced by a waifu deck. If this does not happen you get FTKed or have to pant around a billion negates or a extra link. Seems pretty good right? :kappa
Just watched your video for the second time. My god this sounds like a complete cluster f...! I’m one of the old school players I got out just after XYZ’s were released. It sounds so complicated these days, I do appreciate for how it is played now.
A lot of hate on the game lately.. and for good reasons. I think that Goat Format is a good alternative for players that want to have fun. Even for stores to make unnoficial tournaments. Maybe it even becomes supported by konami in the future... who knows, the game is pretty degenerated today
goat format decks are best for fun games....back in days when u was only sunmon one monster per turn or 2 monsters with monster reborn......now u can sunmon 5 monsters instant and in battle pahse end opponent btw sorry for bad english..
The few things I've been wanting to know with link monsters. Can you attack with them? Can they be attacked by your opponent's monsters? Do you have to destroy your opponent's link monster before you can attack them directly? And if you destroy your opponent's link monster while it was extra deck monsters pointing to it, would they all be destroyed after the link monster is sent to the GY?
yes, you can attack with them and yes your opponent can too yes, if you want to attack directly, first clear all monsters zones including extra monster zone no, monsters pointed by a link monster are not destroyed if the link monster is destroyed, banished or left the field by any other mean
I mean I too enjoy not playing the game. But on a more serious note, I do really love the game still, just not the state of the game. Ban Gumblar and take the top decks down a few notches and we may be talking.
Thank you Cimoooo! I'm going to my locals for the first time ever today, and I really haven't played since the beginning of the game. Pretty nervous, hoping people will take it kinda easy on me, but I'm hoping for the best!
How to play yu gi oh:
1. Sit quietly while your opponent plays an ftk deck
2. Wait for your opponent to surrender because he messed up somewhere in the process
3. Win by default
4. Sell all of your Yu-Gi-Oh cards, and play Magic.
Lol but there is one more
4.RAGE quit
Well this is nothing compared to my experience. My opponent kept on summoning like wtf until his deck is empty and this happened during first turn

Then the People around you were Absolute trash at the game. Blue-Eyes was never that sort of card. It was powerful but Nothing to really flaunt.
I just miss the OG rules of yugi oh. It's just so simple, relying only on the effects and power of your monster.
thank you! you changed my mind I don't want to start playing again anymore
Played as a kid in the 00s, and love watching yugioh vids for nostalgia, thanks you for this! :D
I half expected this video to be full of stuff like, Impermanence is a staple for 2019 and Danger is a major threat so make sure you have at least 6 hand traps. that sort of thing lol
For real me too
I'm a new player in 2019. I appreciate the quick explanations all in one spot. Thank you!
Me too
I used to play my son bought cards and I saw them and I said oh I can teach you. 1 of the monsters had link where defense was suppose to be and here I am
I got back into Yugioh this year, and my life would have been so much easier had I found this video earlier in the year. Thanks for the great content!
Me and buddies play pre-Link rules. Pretty much lost all interest after they completely changed a perfectly fine and years-tested game.
No hate for those who enjoy it, of course.

AKA the mechanic that ruined yugioh
the players ruined yugioh
Yes
Pends aren’t that bad the best deck I played don’t use pends matter fact it doesn’t even use a extra deck
@@ericblackwell70 Pends aren't that bad.
>PePe format PTSD
Pendulums may have been the step stone for the ruinification but links is what ruined it. Why should I give up 5 cards in my Extra Monster Zone for a new type of card that will not help much but is required to use in order to bring out another Extra Monster? NO FUCKING THANKS!
Oh my god... Why? I played the game in 2003, one of the best memories of my childhood, but now, I'm really not wanting to returning to it. Is there a format that works like the old game?
Professor Oak Check out Speed Duels, it’s basically classic Yugioh but with a few twists.
@@beginnertoend310 Thanks. Gonna check it out.
I mean the game has gone for its best especially after mr5 it’s just the fans are boomers that can’t play an easy game

I love how people keep talking about ftks when the best deck is a control deck

@@johnnythedark3090 Orcust, Salads and Thundra are all control deck. SMH.
Which would you rather have? Deal with your opponent fast and quick or take a long time and risk getting OTK'd or ZTK'd?
@@CommanderZer If you play Control/Combo Stun, you most of the time don't get OTK, the only way to lose is your board is outed and they out-grind you and FTK is a slow agonizing match lost watching your opponent play solitaire when you don't draw your handtrap.
I just started this video and you just explained ME in about 30 seconds. GG Cimoooooooo
Although most returning players might disagree with me, I think this new generation of Yu-Gi-Oh! is amazing. I love the fact the game is so complex. All of the summoning mechanics have brought different and better decks. Synchro, Link, Pendulum, XYZ, Ritual, and Fusion Monsters have changed the completely, and the changes are amazing, bringing different, better and harder decks to compete with.
I hate that they changed the playing field tho. They spot for special summoned monsters I don't like but can live with. The new pendulum spots are stupid tho. Honestly, the entire mechanic is stupid. Tho I don't play YuGiOh, I can't imagine anything more discouraging than an opponent summoning 5 monsters in one turn because of that mechanic.
new players should really consider playing an other game.
"Hey kid, want to watch me play Solitaire?"
"NO! I WANT TO PLAY YUGIOH BEFORE IT BECAME BORING!!!"
This was so helpful I played old school yugioh when I was a kid and happened to find a few newer decks at a flee flea market.
It seems there is a heavy amount of combo decks nowadays. It's kind of daunting trying to get into the game.
Hey Cimo, just discovered your channel and watched your how to play YGO series. I haven't played since 2005ish (and 9 years old) and am now getting back into it and preparing to play competitively. There's quite a learning curve what with all the new kinds of monsters and summoning mechanics, as well as the vast number of archetypes and strategies. This series helped me out a lot, so thank you. Though I probably still won't utilize the new monsters until I figure out how to incorporate them into a deck strategy and learn through losing to them, I'm sure. I think it would be a great benefit to your channel and a lot of new players to make a How To Play Yu-Gi-Oh in 2020 video and instead of briefly addressing the mechanics, go in depth with the very helpful visual examples, and make an hour long video if it has to be that long. Also, I recommend a deckbuilding video for new or returning players as I've scoured youtube and haven't found very good resources for that personally. If you or anyone else reading this has any suggestions for a video or channel that goes in depth on deckbuilding, I'd very much appreciate a link of the URL variety. Thanks again for these how to videos! The new rule on no first turn draws blew my mind.
Synchro What?

As somebody that dropped out of Yu-Gi-Oh! towards the latter portion of the synchro era, I’m so glad to see that a mechanic was put in place to balance extra deck monsters, particularly Synchros. I remembered seeing decks like X-Sabers that could pretty consistently pull out 1-2 (sometimes 3) synchros on the first turn with 2000+ ATK and some pretty broken effects. Any mechanic that allows you to (without needing to necessarily be lucky) pull out that much field power on turn one just seems like turning Power Creep into Power Running to the Port-a-Potty with Chili Festival Shits.
But then again I understand that having big monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh! isnt really that important anymore
Cimoooooooo you forget to tell us what pot of greed does! HOW COULD YOU FORSAKEN THE RETURNING PLAYERS!
And he never told us whether MST negates.
Ri stop with the cringy jokes, they’re just old and boring
Joykiller
Andrew Fishman yes and no, it’s a common misconception due to if you use it at specific times you can stop an effect from happening without negating
Dark Star Gaming - LOL, thanks. I will keep it in mind ;)
I played 2006 the last time so i have sone questions. It seems oldschool yugio just got killed of these new systems and it seems there are sooo many differemt cards that it will be hsrd to have any overview.. Soooo, do i need to know all new cards since then? Is it possible to have a chance nowadays with oldschool decks? (gx decks like crystal beasts) And is it possible to get a descent deck with not too much money? And are there players who boykott the new yugioh and just play with oldschool decks?
I haven't played the card game in such a long time (most recent summoning mechanic I know is Synchros), so this was very informative and well made for someone like me.
As someone who is clueless about the rest: XYZs seem very cool, Pendulums look like a mess, and I'm not sure how to feel about Links but limiting the extra deck summoning and trying to unlock more spaces seems interesting.
But I think I'm gonna stick to Duel Links for YGO and wait for that to update with these mechanics lol. Looking forward to XYZs at least.
That might be a problem due to some of the Xyz monsters requires Four or more monsters for the materials unless they have an effect lik Number C32: Shark Drake Veiss where you can use the Number 32: Shark Drake to bring out Number C32 and Number 36 and it's overlay units as well.
My friend and I have picked the game back up after not playing for years. I stopped playing right as synchro summoning came about, and it all seemed pretty intimidating, but it's still quite straightforward! I love these new mechanics!
I Almost Totally Forgot....
4= Cards Usually Have Longer Texts and or Complicated Effects and or Requirements to Activate those Effects
5= Official Torments Have Time Limits Now and in an Event of Ties or Draws the one with the Highest LP Wins
6= And Finally= There are Special Traps now Called “Hand Traps” Basically Trap Cards you Activate from well....your Hand...Pretty Self Explanatory
Bonus= No One Just Buy One Pack and be satisfied with that anymore, everyone Buys Multiple Packs of the same Pack just to see if they get the Best Cards from it and as for everything else... Basically who cares mind as well Trash. And while on the Subject Cards that where $120 a Piece Back in the Day are Easer to Obtain but they or at least most of them are in Common
Bonus 2= It is usually Costumery to Not Only Declare what Phase you are on but also on what you are about to do Currently like for example if what to Attack or are Discarding a Card to activate an X Effect
Bonus 3= Buying and Trading and Selling Cards Now a Days is like Buying Trading and Selling Stocks the Value is Constantly Changing.
Bonus 4= And Finally= The Best Chances of you Winning is to Keep Up with the Best Decks and the Top Decks and do your very Best to Copy or even Improve Upon that X Best Deck.
Windson Ma why isn’t this highlighted by cimo
I came here because I used to watch your videos all the time. I had unsubbed from you around 2-3 years ago because I stopped playing Yugioh for good. I had the noatalgia bug hit me and wanted to see what state the game is in now.
I came to you first because I remember the high quality content you used to make and I wanted to let you know you did not dissapoint. Your content is just as clean and professionally done as I remember, excellent work explaining everything!
With that said, I'm not coming back to Yugioh. The game has juat changed too much for my taste. The pendulum summoning(prior to the rule changes) really took a toll on how much fun I could have with the game and link aummoning made me quit. I miss what the game used to be.
How To play: release its too expensive and frustrating to play then get a different hobby
I just build Gundam instead of playing Yu-Gi-Oh as a hobby
I just started playing again after 13 years, and it's far more affordable now than it was back in 2001-2006ish. At least now starter/structure decks can actually be viable. If you plan on going to giant tournaments, then sure, you're probably going to need to spend a few hundred to win. But, if you're just playing with friends or going to a small local tournament (depending where you live) you can easily make a really good deck for ~$40.
Thank you! The Pendullums actually stuck. But I'm gonna have to keep coming back, and study every part of the new ways to play with your video and maybe even more videos as well. I've been thinking about actually dueling in local tourney's in my city. Good way to get packs on top of card budget.
Great video man really appreciate it. Left the game just when the xyzs were introduced and can’t wait to get back into it after this. Thanks again
To trade, or not to trade?
Once upon a time, there was a teenager card collector who has alot of money to collect them all. He came to an old card shop and found a card that he really wanted. The owner were an old man. The teenager offer him a suitcase full of his rarest collection to trade with that card, but the owner refused. Needless to say that the teenager's upset.
Days later, the teenager abducted the old man and tortured him to submission, taking the long-desired card he longed since he begin his cards collecting journey. Corrupted by his greed, he ripped the said card, the last card of the only 4 in the world. Because he knew the value. Because he knew, how horrible it will be to face one as his opponent. But then guess what? Years later, the teenager become the best duelist in the world, second only to the grandchild of the card shop owner.
If only the card shop owner accepted the trade in the first place, none of this would have happen. The old man would plusses so much from that trade, and the boy would be more than happy to own that card!
But then, the journey would never started. The boy would never become the duelist known by the world by his power and teached the next generation of duelist through academy he founded years later.
Moral of the story:
Life will found it's way. Journeys and adventures begins from a decision, no matter which you take, it will be priceless experience, or you could call it, a *GOLDEN EXPERIENCE* .
tl;dr og yugioh rehashed, summarization of how bad grandpa muto's decision making skills are, JOJO REFERENCE
“Life will found it’s way” ~ dinosaur guy
FiIGHTING GOLD
This could be turned into an interesting anime
TLDR
you forgot fusion spells now fuse from the deck and ritual monsters have effects in the hand and ritual spells have effects in the grave.Also tokens are broken now,traps are bad and every single monster can search,destroy or float.Also if you stop your opponent from special summoning or searching,during the end phase you can add 5 pieces of exodia to your hand.
After watching this I decided to stick with the old format...
No link summoning
No synchro
No XYZ
One player plays a field spell
Tribute summoning
Ritual summoning...
Yeah
didnt you forget fusion monsters?
Oh my God thank you so much! I just picked up the starter link deck and was curious on how to play with the new rules. I stopped playing after Synchro came because it felt like too much. This has definitely helped me, you earned the like and sub.
saying ring of destruction isn't good, yet with so many smaller monsters being put on the field to climb up link ladders taking out 1 key monster to halt a strategy is kinda worth the hit to the lp.
If that's your goal then something like bottomless trap hole might work better
Solemn Strike is literally that but infinitely more foolproof
bth only hits 1500 or more attack
I play magic not so much yugioh. Heard the link monsters unlock zones. Question. What if I have a stardust in my extra zone, then I sacrifice it via its ability. Then main phase 2 I summon another synchro, at end of turn does my stardust not come back because I don’t have link monsters to increase my extra monster zones?
It goes in the normal monster zones if special summoned from the graveyard.
I have a really good question: are we gonna get any new yugioh game?
I think they meant a video game and no Duel Links doesn't count because it's effectively a totally different game
Yeah just a full game with everything in it. Like yugioh legacy of the duellist but also with link monster
maybe, the konami is so suck that she does not say anything about it, just keep talking about a shit called "duel links".
I used to religiously play this game on DN. I didn’t have a car or any money really at the time to invest in a top tier deck so it got me by. I went from using MST to negate to understanding chaining and what misses timing when. I was a confident duelist back in 2015 when IT WAS FUN! yugioh has took a very dramatic change for the worse.. and now I don’t even know where to begin
Let's get up to speed in Yu-Gi-Oh 2019!
I started playing again recently after quitting when pendulums came out. I miss the old ygo ays when counterplay was a thing. I remember when heavy storm and monster reborn. Hand traps are hard to counter and i felt that both players could play ygo on a combo oriented format. Now its just ftks
We have a card specifically dedicated to countering hand traps but it also serves other purposes so i don't know what you're talking about. Called By the grave and Gamma are both counters and monster reborn is legal again so I too remember when monster reborn. I mean I also remember when heavy storm but that's beside the point.
BUT...old school yugioh well ALWAYS be true yugioh..RIP Real Yugioh..😞
Well, since Konami owns the game their definition is always the "real" yugioh. Also If you want to play 2002 La Jinn beatdown, you can do that. Just not against anything released since like 2004 and after.
Last time I really was into Yugioh was around early 2015 I believe? It was when Lightsworn was pretty new maybe 1 or 2 months old and that’s what I ran at the time. It’s so crazy now. Felice the lightsworn archer used to be a 10 dollar card, now it’s $1.00. I built a strong lightsworn deck and quit playing after my buddy died and the rest of us just stopped playing, After about a 5 year hiatus I have finally started looking around and this game has changed so much. Lightsworn isn’t even a thing anymore. Crazy.
How to play it now?
Just do the same mind numbing FTK combo and hope to go first.
Also either go for dem tier 1 decks , or go home.
Rogue's not dead quite yet.
there are no tier 1 OTK decks atm, Chaos Thunder Dragon sometimes can but often won't , same for Danger Dark Warrior though they're at least a little more likely to be able to
Tom Rivers - Um, what? Meta has always existed.
Saaure becuase a meta with like 20+ of the same cards for aummoned skull/jinzo turbo was soooooo diverse
Wait... How do you OTK going first lmao...
Dude i never write comments, but hell yeah your video was informative! Gonna buy me a deck tomorrow ! Starting like you said at the beginning of the video, back in the "normal" times of yu gi ho xD back when Synchro was something u did when u updated your Iphone hahaha ^^ keep it up !
How to play yugioh in 2019: learn an effective strategy for when time gets called on the round that isn't your battle phase
ugh , if that was all it was it wouldn't be so bad , people have learn't that when they play or play vs grindy decks, win game 1 & lose game 2, if they do everything possible(legally) to slow down game 2 they can be the only person with a battle phase game 3, there's all sorts of dumb timer optimizations like that that just make tournament experience rn a bad representation of an ideal competitive frame of the game, eh, wtv ig
How to play yugioh in 2019: hack the game (online play, of course) and limit both players to one or two special summons per turn (including xyz, fusion, synchro and link).
Blue eyes spirit dragon does what you said
@@giannispapakrivopoulos5455 it actually doesn't do that at all it prevents two or more monsters from being summoned at once.
You literally described my exact situation in the first minute, i’m glad I found this vid man I want to get back into it but pendulums and links or whatever are a little confusing to me, however i’m trying my best here lmao
Ban all effect monsters
Vanilla only 😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀
Old school Yu-Gi-Oh were you can summon high level monster are the best to play
Bj Astronomia old school yu gi oh where blue eyes white dragon dominated
I rather have Links Banned.
When effect monsters actually mattered and had good effects. Now every damn monster is a special snowflake, but doesn't have that sweet ass vanilla lore in it's description that made each card interesting. now the cards are just nothings that are used for their effects, just a complicated math game, and each card picture is as disposeable as (insert cool looking anime looking thing here" that you know fuck all about.
Spook13Jayy u mean that boring time when all you fucking did was say”OmG yUgI I aTtAcK YoU with FuCkInG BlUe EYeS sHiT dRaGon” to win the game I like the game now because it’s interesting and I like hard and complicated stuff I feel excited when I’m about to face a deck I don’t know about unlike before where every card was a normal fucking card it feels satisfying to pull off a hard summon or a good combo and then destroy your opponent
I feel like all of the additions have been valid and added to the game except Links.
Monsters- monsters (self explanatory) some have great stats, some have great effects, some have both.
Fusions- combine multiple monsters to get stronger monsters usually with great stats and effects. A few methods to get them out such as polymerization or contact fusion.
Synchro- combine weaker mobsters to summon a strong one similar to fusion, but without the need for spell cards, etc. just need the right cards on the field. But the total levels have to properly equal that of the synchro. Synchros can have great effects and stats similar to fusions.
XYZ- just need the right cards on the field with matching levels and maybe another requirement to overlay into an XYZ monster. Usually have great stats and amazing effects but their effect usage is limited/balanced to how many XYZ units it has so it can’t be too OP.
Pendulum- Can swarm the field based on the pendulum scale and really mix things up and make unique decks for those that want to. Not everyone is into pendulum mechanics.
Link- we have to change the entire field and core rules of the game because we’re in too deep to undo this mistake.
How to play Yu-gi-oh in 2019- summon a million monsters a turn or wait 30 minutes wile opponent does it. i quit the minute plenums came out. This game is dead to me now and its sad because i loved this game and play for at least 12 years. its just too fast, complicated, over powered and unfun now.
Tell me about it
You can always play MTG

I stopped playing a little after the xyz monsters and boy o boy has it changed can’t wait to look up new meta really hoping my six sams can make a come back
Not sure why this video is 13 minutes long. The way to win at yugioh is to go first. The way to lose yugioh is to go second.

Anyone that is wanting something like classic YGO before all the new mechanics like link monsters and pendulums should check out speed duels. It's a kind of new format that has less monster and spell/trap zones, no extra monster zones, and fusion monsters are the only extra deck cards for it so far.
When you only play duel links 😅😅😅😅
You first try to make a board out of 0-2 cards, play without searching or get out resourced by a waifu deck. If this does not happen you get FTKed or have to pant around a billion negates or a extra link.
Seems pretty good right? :kappa
I love making a board out of zero cards THAT'S MY FAVORITE ONE
@@ShuraEssays you make a board out of zero cards because gumblar just took our entire hand lol that's the scoop phase
Just watched your video for the second time. My god this sounds like a complete cluster f...! I’m one of the old school players I got out just after XYZ’s were released. It sounds so complicated these days, I do appreciate for how it is played now.
A lot of hate on the game lately.. and for good reasons. I think that Goat Format is a good alternative for players that want to have fun. Even for stores to make unnoficial tournaments. Maybe it even becomes supported by konami in the future... who knows, the game is pretty degenerated today
goat format decks are best for fun games....back in days when u was only sunmon one monster per turn or 2 monsters with monster reborn......now u can sunmon 5 monsters instant and in battle pahse end opponent btw sorry for bad english..
Thanks for this bud! Helped me get back into Yu-Gi-Oh after all these years! N I'm not even that far from ya I'm about halfway between Vegas and Reno!
How to play Yugioh in 2019: Leave a useless, whiny comment on a geniunely informative video apparently.
zachchristian22 for real people keep bitching like god dawwyyymm 🙄
Did you just whine about people whinnying?
*gasps*
WHINECEPTION
Don’t whine mate
The few things I've been wanting to know with link monsters. Can you attack with them? Can they be attacked by your opponent's monsters? Do you have to destroy your opponent's link monster before you can attack them directly? And if you destroy your opponent's link monster while it was extra deck monsters pointing to it, would they all be destroyed after the link monster is sent to the GY?
yes, you can attack with them and yes your opponent can too
yes, if you want to attack directly, first clear all monsters zones including extra monster zone
no, monsters pointed by a link monster are not destroyed if the link monster is destroyed, banished or left the field by any other mean
Everyone is so negative. Yugioh is still fun. Y'all are just bitter.
I mean I too enjoy not playing the game. But on a more serious note, I do really love the game still, just not the state of the game. Ban Gumblar and take the top decks down a few notches and we may be talking.
The Four Star Gamer - Bring on Gumblar. hit the wrong cards in my hand, you lose.
Eddie Banuelos are you 10?
only if you play with friends or with an a.I, because if it is online, I'm sorry, but no.
No, playing Zombies. Don't hit the Despair, Mezuki or any thing else really.
Thank you Cimoooo! I'm going to my locals for the first time ever today, and I really haven't played since the beginning of the game. Pretty nervous, hoping people will take it kinda easy on me, but I'm hoping for the best!
