Retro Retrospective - The DM Era (2002-2005) | Yugioh TCG 

i was there. i remember everything. man this game and anime was/is such a huge part of my life

Man I remember buying starter deck Yugi when the anime came out, good times

4:15 in the 1st ed kaiba starter deck lord of d. says that all dragons are unaffected, not only untargetable, the errata came with the unlimited reprints. If you can pull off the flute activation requirements and summon 2 dragons you can dark hole an entire board and only your opponent's monsters and lord of d would die

I've been watching as many early year retrospectives as I can find. This one is the most thorough. If anyone know one better, let me know!

Just want to say that part of Magic the Gathering's power 9 includes a card that draws 3 cards for 1 mana so MtG players are pretty familiar with how good more cards are for no/little resource

Man, these old cards are so nostalgic. I never played Yugioh past the first few sets, and I'm so thankful for that, considering how horrible it has become, but I will never forget those early days of broken crazyness.

Thats one of the best yugioh video ever! It is exactly what i need right now. Thanks for explaining everything so detailed.😅

It's weird how there's so much nostalgia for this era of YuGiOh. If you actually played the game, locals was just full of beatdown, then hand control/yata-lock, then chaos. If you went to a regional tournament the top 8 sometimes had as few as 2-3 cards different. The best years of YuGiOh were not these ones.

I love this series, very informative!

I like listening to these, it makes me feel really happy when I saw the same cards that used to be meta and go "ay this effect is pretty good, I'm going to put this in my deck (using 4 star instant summons because yeah, it was easier just to put them out on the field and smack the opponent instead of trying to setup a summon)" in a YGO game called Stardust Accelerator haha, deck building when not knowing cards and reading their effects when I got them and deciding if they worked with my deck or not was the best part of the game, haha.

First! Seriously though excited to watch this. Love these kinds of history videos about Yugiohs formats, especially since I don't know much about these things. Keep up the great work!

I still have some unopened packs from Blue eyes and a yugi and kaiba starter deck. I just found them when I was cleaning. They're unopened but the box has seen better days. There's some freying on the corners and I had to blow the dust off them. Are they worth any money?

Pls make following parts. Love it

Beautiful times 💜

so much nostalgia. I guess this is when i played, cuz all these cards are super familiar

13:52 I'm getting back into yugioh. It looks like for the catapult turtle OTK the original card didn't have the once per turn restriction. But is that still the ruling for GOAT format? Because the 25th anniversary reprinting of the card has once per turn listed.

P.A.C.M.A.N. is such a sauced name.

I'm pretty exodia was on limited list was because of OCG reasons not the anime because it became tier 0 ftk in OCG.

Actually waboku was worse than it is right now, it originally only worked for baffle

Yata lock. I still have my tournament deck from when i was a kid.

I enter during the release of Labyrinth of Nightmare :)

#PartOfThe20%

the most 'fun' era.

oh lol, it's a compilation video 😬

Sinister serfant

Man, I thought the series would finally continue... Not just a re-hash of old videos...

I am a bit nostalgic at the time Konami try really hard to ballance powerful cards with cost and do good banlists... Now you have an unfair tier 0 who mill haft your deck T0 without his others handtraps, wander and mystic mine who is an one card win at 3 with no activation or maintenance cost who let a player stall to death by playing no monsters or with just slow burn... Great

0:35 pure cringe
