Duel links really makes you FEEL LIKE YUGIOH. I especially liked the part when Konami tied my leg to an anchor and threw it in the ocean after I lost. The game really captures the spirit of the anime IMO
TCG lets you feel rich after buying a deck for 300$, only for it to fall out of meta and get reprinted so that your cards, which were worth 30$ each, now get around for a whopping 3$. *With shipping.*
@Empor ! I actually don´t know, I don´t play Duel Links competitively. To me, it´s just a good waste of 10 minutes in breaks. And yes, alot of decks stay more or less relevant for multiple years, my best example right now is Sky Striker, as I am buying a deck together right now. But there were alot of decks that went from rogue to useless because some card was banned (I´m looking at you, Ancient Fairy Dragon). All in all, don´t take my comment as a description of all of TCG. Many popular decks are still kicking, but (and yes, you´re absolutely right) some decks just vanish because of time passed and new card releases.
@Empor ! I know these things, though cars are not the best example for your point (considering the huge oldtimer-community). My original comment was supposed to be a cynical joke. There really are people out there that buy a modern meta-deck for 300 bucks, just to play it once at an event and then sell it for less because apparently "the deck is unplayable" as 1 card went from unlimited to 2. I hate those suckers.
@@BlueDragon1504 The TCG became so terrifying. You would expect a game to start slow and reach a climax, like "turn one; I set a monster in defense position (mayhaps a trap) and end my turn". Reality is though, people perform around three to five different XYZ-, Synchrosummons one turn one, playing half their deck in the process and taking six minutes for it. I love YuGiOhs design and the card and the functions, but after near decades of the game growing to be more exciting (to stay fresh of course, understandably), it really feels like the definition of Power Creep. I heard, that even the creators once said the game became much more faster and powerridden than they ever planned it to become. Can't prove that last bit though. Sorry, I had to rant a bit, game's lovable, yet frustrating.
@@lightspawn4357 It seems you haven't seen links yet. They pretty much made it impossible to do more than two xyz/synchros because you can now only summon to pointed zones. They were supposed to slow the game down, instead it became an ftk fest.
@LightSpawn I'm a bit late to the party, but I think that the lack of some kind of "mana" system is what let the game escalate like that. In card games like MtG and Hearthstone, even if you have 8 cards in your hand you can't just casually play them all in one turn. And if you can, it's due to some intended mechanic that allows it, like sacrificing something or using some kind of ressource. In Yu-gi-oh, cards like Pot of Greed are banned because there's pretty much no good reason to not include it in a deck, yet in Hearthstone there are lots of "Play this 1 card and get 3 cards" effects, but they can all be balanced by their mana costs and whatever you draw will cost mana as well so there's that. To balance cards in Yu-gi-oh they need to implement drawbacks by inventing certain conditions under which a card can be played instead of slapping a mana number in a corner, which naturally bloats the card text even more. And since top tier decks "cheat" out the hard to play cards by finding loopholes in their play conditions they need to add text like "Can't be summoned by doing X" so you can't just play them with a card saying "Special summon an X-type monster." With more and more cards getting thrown into the mix it's no surprise that not even the card game creators themselves could keep up with all the crazy shenanigans people pulled off, let alone think of every possible overpowered synergy beforehand. In my opinion something like a mana system would have helped to avoid excessive card texts and to limit the unforeseen but expected overpowered strategies that people come up with all the time. But maybe that's just my bias, I have to admit that I do like MtG quite a bit.
Honestly playing Yugioh made me understand why the protagonists were able to pull so much BS without being noticed. Noone is going to read all that card text to make sure they aren't cheating, you just gotta believe what they say about the effect of their cards.

That's basically what Yu-Gi-Oh is once your using newer cards instead of just the old style of Yu-Gi-Oh cards where you could only summon 1 monster in a turn.
I thought it was just me since I recently got into Yu-Gi-Oh and started streaming it. But I think it's getting popular due to how competitive and big the Duel Links community is
@Empor ! I stumbled on some pack openings last week. That made me download YGOPRO and watch some strategy videos. The last few days out-of-context hilarious anime clips have been popping out in my reccomend. And now this video happens. There is some kind of a Yugioh revolution going on.
I love how he's excited about summonning a dragon in the first turn, then the enemy eats it and pulls off the buster blader it was close enough Charlie
@@Dyslexic_Mudkip You're new? A good site to help you out is duellinksmeta.com by youtuber with the same name. It's basically known as THE duel links site. Have fun and spend your gems wisely
@@thatboydingus3353 Let's face it, Duel Links is just a bootleg version of the real card game. There's no Main Phase 2 (meaning you don't get any time to come back or plan after the battle phase), you draw four cards instead of five along with reduced, 20-30 card decks (which makes little sense). There are only three monster/spell/trap zones (also makes no sense), they introduced skills, there's obvious microtransactions, and the meta is pretty fucking jank. Decks like fur hire, six sams, vampires, U.A., aromages, and Red-Eyes are actually pretty bad in the real card game compared to decks like Shaddolls, HEROes, Dinos, Thunder Dragons and Sky Strikers (before they were nerfed), True Dracos, Salamangreats, Orcusts, Invoked, Crusadias, Goukis, Synchrons, World Legacy, Mekk-Knights, and SO much more.

@@MufasaSama It's extremely retarded Basically Yugi and Kaiba are dueling and they shit talk each other every turn. Here's just 1 line of it "Yeah well I end my turn just like how Pegasus ended your grandpa's life lmao"

I see so this is the reason why you grow your hair charlie, I must say it was impressive but I'm a bit disappointed you didn't activate the trap card KUNAI WITH CHAIN!
Don't forget the ulimate psychological tactic: playing man eater bug in attack mode. 90% of the time your opponent just won't know how to respond to such an outstanding move.
