Most RIDICULOUS Yu-Gi-Oh Opinions! 

My problem with Links is that they should have made them a different colour, we already had blue cards. Red would have been nice.

Who cares if you play casual or competitive Yu-Gi-Oh. It's all about having fun and enjoying the game.

This is the kind of open discussions that need to happen.

My problem with master rule 4 is it hurts non link based decks and forces all decks to play with link monsters

About Casual and Comp players. I have a friend in discord who said something that I do quite agree on in regards to this, here's what he said: I believe there's 4 types of players in this game. Most people say its only casual players or competitive players but in my opinion there's 4 types. 1- the meta tryhard - the guy that only runs meta and calls any player nub if he isnt running a meta deck. Usually just knows how to play 1 meta deck and is clueless about anything that isnt meta. 2- pro competitive player - plays mainly meta but has a deep knowledge of the game and usually knows how to play multiple decks including rogues and for fun decks 3- rogue player - a dude that tries to make a rogue deck as competitive as possible. Usually knows how to play meta but chooses to run rogue and optimise the build in order to beat meta. 4- casual player - a guy that doesnt know or doesnt even touch meta. Just runs for fun decks and usually is out of competitive scenerio.

I personally think that you should play a deck you like AND add staples to it to make it good enough so that even if your opponent plays meta, you can still duel while having fun.

*So where do you stand on each of these Yu-Gi-Oh debates and why?* 🤔

Here is my opinion: If you can’t afford the better cards just play with what you got, already

The shoutout to Exordio made me so happy knowing the channel is getting traction

The link monsters themselves to me are fine. Just dont like the whole aspect of mr4 trying to say you practically need a link monster to use any other method unless the deck can actually go well without it. As for net decking, i couldn't care less if you netdeck but if everyone starts using the same deck then yeah, thats where i draw the line.

Damm, no views... I guess I better stop playing Magic the gadering

Last point I am both lol. I like the chess element of the game. I dont mind getting blown out by my opponent. But I do not like people "winning" by locking people out

As far as most of these go I feel like I'm somewhere in the middle. 1. MR4 - I'm fresh back after quitting sometime in 2005 and I really don't have an issue with link monsters, although I missed previous formats. I don't like them not having a defense position however nor do I like the laddering 2. Creativity - Honestly I don't think this has changed much over the years. Back in the early 2000s people still ran very similar decks, the difference was it was a little harder to find lists or order singles. The differences weren't so much creativity but players making the best out of what they had. 3. Hand traps - they're fine as long as they're accessible. This seemingly new trend of them in structure decks is great (Duel Power helped a lot as well) 4. Expensive cards - can't disagree with what was said already. It's on the players supporting those insane prices as well as the short prints. 5. Casual vs Competitive - play however makes you happy. I'm a competitive person but I won't play decks I don't like. Fortunately, LW and some others are good rogue options but this isn't the case for every archetype. In any competitive video game there are metas and some characters are just better than others, so that being the case in a TCG as well just seems par for the course.

IMHO hand traps are like what kaiju's were back in the day. A nessesary evil. I HATE getting ashed, but i love being the one to drop the ash.

The other night I taught my little brother how to play the pokemon trading card game and he learnt it in under half an hour. I wouldn't even know where to start if I tried to teach him how to play yugioh! I feel like it should be like chess, no one has changed how chess is played and that game has been around for hundred of years. Keep new cards coming out but should really slow down on how my they change the game play

I still remember my experience back in early 2009 when I used to play the game more often. We had this one guy who would come to my locals who only played hard meta (Tele-DAD specifically), he'd come in, sit down, shit on the kids (middle schoolers mostly) who were there just for fun. After a few weeks we started having less players come in because of him. Store owner had to eventually ban the guy cuz he was just pure toxic and scaring the kids away. It's honestly guys like him who just drove me out of playing YuGiOh after a while cuz I didn't want to be associated with them.

Well said, nice work covering these sometimes controversial topics!

I'm glad you've made this video. Its good these issues and comments are discussed in a very frank matter. With that, I thank you.

0:21 I guess we found Alfred's jewel thief.

You forgot to credit Vladek with the thumbnail quote :golem: This was a fun discussion.

Sick new videos. Love ya team aps!

Thanks a lot for a great video Paul! You raise a lot of good points. Sorry my comment was over several comments lol.

What I don’t like about net decking is most people copy the deck without knowing why certain cards are in the deck

When on budget play Speed Duels and boost that format locally and for convention events at all levels.

Great video. Definitely something a new player should watch. Much needed discussion.

I feel if it wasn't for Pendulum we wouldn't need Links... Me personally, mechanics should've stopped at XYZ.

We are waiting for the duel between galaxy eyes and blue eyes! nice vid btw. ;)

I like this format of a video, much better since i can hear you well

- I'm definitely in the anti-MR4 camp. I always rolled my eyes at the people who keep complaining about Synchros, XYZ, and Pendulums because they didn't have to play them as decks could still function fine with or without them. But with MR4, it feels like the first time a summoning mechanic felt genuinely forced. The other summoning methods are forced to take that into consideration. MR4 negatively affects the other summoning methods, which is a first. - I think netdecking is fine. If you're going to put all that money into the game, you're going to feel a greater need to win - I feel like the problem isn't hand traps, it's all the situations and cards that make people feel such a need to play hand traps that's a problem. - As a casual player, seeing the prices of some cards is unbelievable. It's one of the main reasons why I don't play competitively. For example, I have a Counter Fairy deck, but no copies of Pot of Extravagance, which everyone keeps telling me to play even after I tell them I'm a budget casual player, because of the price. I just checked TCGPlayer and Extravagance is over $50 for a single copy. So getting just three of both will cost me nearly $200 just for 3 cards. And it can get even worse for actually competitive decks. - Like I mentioned in my last point, I'm a casual player and the price is one of my main issues. I don't have enough disposable income to consistently pay a lot of money for competitive play. Yugioh is just something I want to play for fun and it's how I bonded with my closest friends, and paying so much would just add extra pressure on me to win and I would have less fun. And another turn off is the amount of competitive elitists I've come across, who value cards and decks entirely on how they do competitively and seem to play purely to win instead of just enjoying a game.

When I returned to the game after many years. I picked up three Cyberse Link decks for great draw options, two Kaiba 2017 decks for some added power and 1 2017 Kaiba Mega Tin. I feel like my deck functions better with the draw options. Though, balancing my deck is something I have not figured out yet.

Coming back to this video and the change to the format do links are optional i feel they have become more fun

I've been playing this game since the day it came out, but I was never on an official tournament. So I never talked to people about some issues (besides the guys I'm playing with) and hearing them here in this video is something I really enjoyed. Have to say that I agree with your opinion on those things. I'm glad that there are people out there loving the game as much as I do

Nice video dude!!! Your opinions are very similar to mine but even that if they weren't I'll always respect that all of you guys speak your minds in civil and sometimes fun ways.

I quit because of Master Rule 4. I didn't really like Pendulums either but I lived with them. I'm not even a casual player anymore

I did start the game through online deck lists. I didnt want to buy a pre made deck from a store, but didnt know enough to build a deck. So I looked up a decklist for and archetype I liked, melodious. Nowadays my deck has evolved from where it started to have a bit of my own personal flavour, but nowadays that is how all my decks start, modified decklists that will eventually become heavily changed. Though I have yet to actually build a meta deck. Played lyrilusc and melodious, though I really want to get lunalights and windwitch,because that is funny if you know about them from the show

"Are you a casual filthy scrub " Paul please dont come for me like that :(

love those kind of videos

Great Vid!!!

Good advice for life too Paul, well said. Great video cheers 👍

I actually agree with everything you just said. I haven’t made my way to any major events but i have been to locals and i play casuals alot with my friends.

I probably agree that links make summoning extra deck more difficult and annoying. Im still new but hearing how the mechanics work, I can see how it will be annoying when I get started considering xyz is my favorite mechanic (I do play Legecy of The Duelist, so I have at least some experience in that area)

Have you guys ever thought about doing a Team APS tournament? Seems like you have a big enough group to do something fun. Could either do multiple videos with each game shown, or 1 long video where you show highlights of each game/do a short summary of what happened with some clips added here and there. I got back into yugioh a few weeks ago after not playing for a decade. Had been playing mtg for a while, and got into that by watching The Command Zone yt channels series called Game Knights where they did something similar and it hooked me. Would be cool to see something similar in the yugitube world.

@Team APS, hey I just wanted to say I been watching your videos for over a year and I just got back into the game and I am really enjoying it. I would also like to throw in a little tid bit about the casual vs competitive styles of play. I used to play competitive vanguard and force of will, and I would always encounter a group of people that were on a budget, like food stamps and SSI kind of budget. This group would always come into these events like a Thursday tournament for Force of Will, or a tournament I ran for Cardfight, and complain about other players for having good decks. And the irony was most of these decks that were destroying them were not that expensive to make, but its life not many people can afford to pay out for good cards, but they still want to play competitive. Now my opinion on this is if you are willing to sign up for any kind of tournament while using a casual deck and complain cause you got stomped on maybe should stick to playing with friends. Im not trying to be mean but complaining that you didn't win because others were better prepared or you knew well in advance you might not do well shows poor sportsmanship.

Links are cancer, but at least Pendulums can use them. I agree with you Paul, I play Pendulum Magicians because I like the pendulum mechanic and the way magicians can generate resources from the extra deck, but I lose pretty regularly because all the guys in the club are better players and get more practice. Nonetheless I still enjoy playing (except against Trickstar, and sometime Sky Striker) because I know I'm a filthy casual and I don't worry about it. The game can be pay-to-win. It does seem like Konami likes making powerful cards Secret Rare only, and then short printing so you have to either buy a lot of product with no guarantee of getting it, or just pay the singles prices. That said I pulled Borreload, Saryuja, and Borrelsword from packs so it can be done. On the other hand, being smart in your core choices, like playing Pendulum Magicians, you can build a decent core deck for only a few dollars, and then pick up extra deck cards as finances allow. PM allow you access to XYZ from 3 to 7 easily, and Heavymetalfoes Electrumite is pretty cheap now (I remember buying a playset back when we could have 3). Zefra Metaltron and Decode Talker are good Link 3s, and Borreload has just been reprinted making it quite cheap too. Harmonizing Magician is the goddess of the Magician deck and can pull out a level 7 through 11 single material plus tuner synchro monster effortlessly. Even the Mythical Beast cards commonly used (Master Cerberus and Jackal King) aren't too bad at the moment and Darkwyrm and Gate Zero are reasonably priced, although Gate Zero seems to be creeping up. You don't have to play bad cards just because you're on a budget, Soulburner gave us common Ash, and Order of the Spellcasters is giving us common Droll and Desires. Reprints mean you can even play Sphere Mode in your side deck for a low buy in. I'd suggest even if on a budget finding $30 for three copies of Spellcasters is good value even if it's just for the reprints. The budget conscious player does have some good options at the moment.

Great video as always Paul

Well said Paul. I’m glad to finally see this type of video. I’ve been around since 2010 and I could never stand the attitudes around me. It’s a whole new level when guys like Farfa make a name for themselves for shit talking players who they see as bad.

12:00. He says this as I'm up at 3 in the morning drawing up a plan of how Maxx C can come back.

1: Master Rule 4 has been good, plenty of support for older archtypes with links, columns are neat if you like strategy, not even remotely as bad as pendulums imo (Firewall not included) 2: Net-decking should be like a recipe, use it as a base and make a good cake, only follow the recipe to the letter like some holy scripture and I might as well go to the fucking cake shop. 3: Handtraps are good in moderation but they are not in moderation. There is a reason I don't want Maxxx C back, Maxx C into Phantazmay into Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre and Ash Blossom! Might sound over the top but let's be real here, if you're playing stun you can just sub a lot of these with stuff like Red Reboot and Evenly Matched. At this point there is a handtrap to everything. 4: Read Above about my feelings on Maxxx C 5: Not a competitive player so take my opinion with a mountain of salt. Yes, it is pay to win unless you find some lost holy grail deck idea from eras ago but you still need some kind of skill to run a top tier deck (mostly). Some part of me tossed the idea of an actual tier system for competitive play to not make it feel like playing the same to decks per format but I have no idea how that would work. 6: I play this game for fun, I also play to collect, however everyone should play for their own reason. Fuck spending hundreds on a deck and treating it like we are in a world war though in my opinion. In my experience there are far more toxic games but we still have that problem here, competitive Yu-Gi-Oh kinda scares me for those reasons.

This is a Great Video Paul! Stay Honest Bro, We Appreciate You Guys! :3

Very good discussion topics, I feel if more people displayed at least the amount of mutual respect shown here the game wouldn't be seen as toxic, it's fine to have differing opinions but when you act like children and can't come to a compromise and realize people can think differently and still enjoy the game that's where most of the problems the Yu-Gi-Oh community have stem from and if the community actually cooperated more within itself some of these issues could even go away. Overall tho great video

here's a thought/possible discussion topic. now that we have Master Rule 4 limiting how many extra deck monsters can be summoned at a time, should the extra deck limit be raised for 15 to something higher?

I kinda net deck, but I try to make my decks using cards that I have available. Like my Danger Orcust deck; I don't have any Iblees so I use Phantom Skyblaster. I don't really care for the Dark Warrior aspect of it, though. I also refer to Duelista and Duel Revolution for deck ideas😁

I think the extra monster zone should only apply to links and this way it won't affect synchros, fusions and xyzs.

i love how all the cards you named i have never heard of. how long have i been out of this game

with skull dread i think its draw effect should just go to once per turn since the card itself is useful for its arrows

I don't mind the laddering. We've had continuous synchro summoning, xyz, and even fusion summoning. Examples mayakashi/synchron, galaxy eyes, lunalight. Links ... eh

Honestly, my two favorite and main decks are Link decks: Salamangreat and Cyberse Link. While I didn't like it at first, I think it's necessary now. Link Monsters helped slow down the game just a bit.

The last bit about casual vs comp is my friend and I to the T we do both those things I'll say he's not having fun net decking then he'll trash a deck I worked on and it's a constant struggle but we do go back to dueling each other it's just weird to be trying to have fun and duel and want to make a deck that can just run over anything with consistent plays and we butt heads a lot I feel like this is a thing more common in people is that two differing ways on playing just mesh and don't blend well bc I was at a tournament at locals and some people argued and someone said "So this is how you treat your friends" and stormed off it was like watching my friend and I bicker and the most biggest arguments are when we fight over a cards worth he'll call a card worthless and I'll say something like not really it can be a good card and then it'll erupt and we'll go back to fighting we have always butted heads over something in yugioh from rulings to making a mistake and asking to take it back you have any advice to us or anyone at all who can help us try to be better about this stuff?

I hope the next summoning mechanic forces you to have to play it In order to summon link monsters

I like link mechanics, BUT the problem is that you NEED links, and it covers up a lot of space in the deck I could use on something else

I love link monsters and it's my favorite summoning mechanic of course I was all for the firewall gumblar and goblin bans and now the limitation of saryuja. Yes most handtraps are a necessary evil maxx c was just evil droll is just evil but can't be banned cause dangers

does anyone mind explaining chain blocking against ash I use neos connector and blue butterfly but I don't fully understand how butterfly protects neos summoning panther

I'm an old school player but stopped playing before even Synchros were a thing. Then I returned to play YGO when Links were new. It took me a while before I understood each summoning mechanics, but Links took me a little longer to actually learn to use them. Once I learned to use links the seem to me a really cool but complex feature (not as complex as Pendulums though).

Quick question. Can I summon an extra deck monster into the spell and trap zone if a link monster points to it?

The net-decking argument reminded me of the Sky Striker player who used World Dinowresteling just to search Pankratops was probably one of the most interesting and creative takes on that deck that I've seen

I love playing Yu-Gi-Oh but all of my friends and people i know are thinking that its embarrassing. And there are no regionals or something like that in my region. Not even a cardshop. Sad life. :(

I think they should make every card in a common (mass print) and short print secret rare ect. If u want that shiny card that also necessary in a deck (magicians soul) then you could have a choice on wat to pay.

Super good discussion, dude. I think the only thing I might disagree on is Links and Handtraps. I like Links and generally how they function. I think the ladder climbing effect that you can't really do with any other summon type (except maybe Synchro) is interesting, and the zone placement is a really unique side to this game. This said, I get why others don't like it, and that's totally cool. It really hammered some decks, and to those people, I hope they get some sort of support monster soon, that maybe breathes new life into the deck for this, and coming years. With handtraps, (and I want to extend the discussion to floodgates), I don't think the term "necessary evil" is even really fair. I think with how the game operates now, both are just necessary. It's how you keep interaction in the game, or with floodgates, how you slow your opponent down to your pace so have a chance at dictating the game to a win. I don't see a problem there. There's enough removal, and ways to counteract these cards in the game, further adding to that level of interplay. And I honestly like it. But yeah, almost everything else I agree with. Although it'd be impossible to get *everyone* to not spend bank on cards, but yeah. Would be nice if they were cheaper. ;3

i still remember people saying that links will slow the game down, also they print more and more link monsters that summon from the deck

When it comes to competive and casual, I see myself as something inbetween. I enjoy competitive play due to the challenges it presents amd I like going to events. I enjoy casual play duw to not knowing what deck my opponent will play. I hang out with both camps and definitely noticed a few major differences. Also I think in order for yugioh to stay around both camps need to exist. Casual players statistically buy more sealed product, which is what makes the game money. The competive players are what keeps big events going.

I understand in a way why some cards are "short print", in every game there needs to be a card or mini fig to chase after in a set to sell out the set and make way for the next set/product launch, usually they will have an extremely powerful effect. My issue with "short print" comes up when they "short print" legacy support cards that competitive players won't be chasing down as they have no real relevance in the current game state and probably won't in the foreseeable future, let alone the fact that these cards will probably not get reprints as a lot of reprints are of cards that are meta relevant or utility cards that support a deck type currently fairing well competitively and have not had a print in some time.

I didn't originally like links but it helped against pendulum

i not a fan off links in personal option but for the heath of the game they are good but some links make some big loops like firewall but overall i think they are growing on me but BTW my favorite are synchro and ritules

The only ting that anyoids me about it that there people who judge you for not netdecking

I’m 12 years old and love yu gi oh but a big problem for me is a dont have enough money to buy meta card let alone just stuff to make a deck I think card prices should decrease so is younger player can afford to make decks and have a good time

I'd love to go to locals and play some fun casual decks or semi-competative decks. Unfortunately my locals is filled with sky strikers and danger thunder dragons and pretty much nothing but meta decks.

My opinions: Links: I think they will be fine when we get more for older archetypes cause alot of old archetypes got even slower and worst because of links plus it slows down fusion decks and xyzs decks alot which is kind of lame imo Creatively vs netdecking: I'm rather indifferent about it but I do hope/wish everyone would try for a bit of both Handtraps: there annoying but you can't get rid of them unless you slow the game down Maxx C: If the bug comes back the dragon should go just so you can't stack them Game price: it's a card game I dont think it should be so expensive but its whatever sense I'm not going to a ycs any time soon not to mention I'm not the one spending money lmao Casual vs competitive: you do you booboo I dont care whatever makes you happy just let people do as they please

Link Monsters were supposed to slow the game down. They don't do that at all.

I am on the fence with Link monsters. I agree that they have added some problems to the game (10 min turns), however they have also added limits that were needed... such as you can no longer summon multiple XYZ, Fusion, or Synchro unless you have a Link with multiple arrows.... at least it seemed that way at first, we now have combos that can create boards with 3+ negate effects, and it can lock your opponent down, and I have a massive issue with that. Yugioh requires two people to play... Konami has made efforts to curb FTKs, but the same has not been done to curb FTLD's (First Turn Lock downs). I don't play meta, however it did try it for one tourney and my Links allowed me to create a lock down board on my first turn, my opponent could not do much and thus scooped... this did not feel very good and I have not played the deck since. But that is just me.

Why he get on me like that at @15:50 lmaoooo smh

My yugioh shop community actually got together and made demo decks for new comers and previous players to let them see how some decks are played now. They are more casual decks but meta sucks anyways so that’s whatever, but we have 5 already. Gouki, Ninja, Zombie, Dinomist, and Dinowrestlers

Net decking is fine for me cause sometimes I do it just to see if I enjoy a certain style of that archetype. The price equals a decks play value doesn’t sit well for me due to me running older nonexistent decks or non meta style decks examples like archfiends or chaos dragons. If a budget deck can win or perform well enough with low cost cards then it’s a good well built deck. If the cards are just powerful and hard to respond and deal with the broad state that is fine until it just constantly repeating combos in every match. Link monsters are healthy but also unhealthy most decks that run them it just enables the decks to respond to stuff on the broad where decks that need the main deck to hold up responds for everything fall behind to the extender pieces. MR4 I feel pushed decks to be more extra deck focus and not getting broad presence over time through combos from the main deck. Decks that focused on extra deck before are pretty unless cause if they can’t summon what they quickly the opponent can just claim your zone repeatedly and shut down your deck completely if you don’t have link monsters.

Second point go look up a deck(net deck), then when you play with that deck you change it to your style. And creativity has never died

I'm just getting back into competitive after a few years. My locals are pretty mixed. The top 8-10 are all competitive people that are playing against each other as practice for the next event. I don't feel superior for trying to get to those tables with a meta deck, but I do feel awful when I run into someone playing a 'for-fun' deck that seems really cool but because I'm playing to try and get to those top tables, the match isn't fun for them because it doesn't compete with the current meta. Playing with the competitive players in the tournament itself is fun as hell, and playing with the casual players with my own casual decks before or after is fun as hell. Still feel a little dirty when I play the casual players with my competitive decks in the actual tournament.

As someone who's played so many cars games link monsters are on of the coolest and unique affect I've ever seen and I wish more card games implicated a simaliar effect to there games

I do not have any monsters in my deck at all, so I do not mind the link format.

My Nordic deck is gonna see daylight soon. I'm gonna get stomped, but it'll be fun!! I haven't fanboyed over building a deck so hard since Archfiends made Summoned Skull cool again

Yep for people that think its to expensive quite and find something more affordable. This game only gets expensive when you play high rarity or only meta decks. I like to play fun decks just because its fun.

Came here to see the comments expecting some savage stuff, not sure if I’m disappointed or happy that they actually seem pretty tame! Great title 😂

My issue with Link summoning, is that some types don’t have a link monster to help their decks so they suffer. Like Heroes before Legendary Heroes decks came out, they suffered because they couldn’t do anything, and same for generic Dinosaurs, they got one link monster and it kinda sucks.

Yugioh is to play and have fun as you play. How the duelist decides to play their decks and build them is up to them, If someone needs help and are new or are a creative block on building a deck means they can have help by net decking. Its up to them, Ive been playing since yugioh started and again I see it for fun. And how you build your deck and what you use if its links or hand traps or play in competitive. Its fun for them.

I think hand traps are a good idea, but I feel that some are too good for having no cost and/or havingfew restrictions. Like Ash, you can negate a pot of desires or any important search card for free. Now if ash required that you discard or banish a card from your hand, I'd think it would be more fair.

The only time I’ve ever consistently had fun at an event was when I went to a regional, the only locals I have time to go to is dominated by people who will only play top tier meta decks (I assume to “practice” for regions and other big events) so much so that they actually seemed to scare away people who play casually there. However, when I went to the regional, I had to play people “at my skill level” because of how match making worked, so I could actually have a back and forth game where both players could have fun and feel like their choices mattered to the actual outcome of the match as opposed to “shit, I didn’t negate that one thing, I’m definitely gonna lose now” which has been a lot of my experience in meta match ups against my definitely casual deck

I can’t afford the cards so I just play duel links on my phone, plus it has all the old cards from the show which I prefer and best of all it’s free 😁👍

link is good for me but pendulum i dont understand at all until now.

I hated links at first, but honestly, after trying them out, they arent that bad, some are even pretty fun. I thought the same thing about pendulums though, so maybe I'm just slow to adopt new ideas

Thanks for making this Paul. Always good to see these kinds of vids. There is some truth to the statement that you need to spend money in this game to be successful, but only in a COMPETITIVE aspect. On paper, having these expensive cards should help make your deck viable to compete with the meta. Anyone with a regular job and some sense should have a budget to spend cash on a hobby (like this one). However, is anyone OBLIGATED to buy these high priced cards? No, absolutely not and anyone who tells you that you need to deserves to be stuck in the money trap Konami has them in. As for Links I do not like their mechanic and I do not like what they represent. Think of it this way. Konami is EA and Links are DLC, hot fixes, and patches that should've been handled before hand. I've heard people say that Links fixed some of the problems plaguing the game. Yes, that's true but the way Konami went about was just wrong. What was so bad about sitting down and saying "We hear what you're saying and want to work to address the issues." And reaching a conclusion that didn't compromise handfuls of archetypes and decks (which translates to hard earned money people spent) to FORCEFULLY introduce a new mechanic that required specific cards to be able to play legally. People need to understand that Konami is a company that doesn't give a shit about them. And I mean Konami. Not event planners/coordinators they hire, not your local card shop owner, not TCGPlayer or Troll and Toad, but the Japanese company Konami. The same people who made the executive decision to fire Hideo Kojima for stupid reasons and shit on a franchise (MGS) for profit.

I also did copy a trickstar deck (and btw they are all really the same) and from that I build my own version of it. And there are some decks like trickstar that just need 100% a certain amount of cards because the deck won't work without them.

I think that yugioh is so creative. You see so many decks in so many different ways of you search the right places and now with so many decks on RU-vid you can see so many ways to play a deck and you can do all what you want with the ideas in your hand. So I'm a big fan of magican because there you have like little packages/engines and I love it when all the packages play together for the big board and there comes the creativity. You can always search new little engines and test them and in pendulum Magician it's very easy to learn all the engines Yea that's my opinion (I'm German so my English is probably bad😅)

Also I don't like winning/losing in one turn Like I do not mind of like after 6 turn my whole field blows up and I lose 10000 live points since yeah I rather play then wait 3 minutes until your combo is gone
