In regards to Ancient Fairy Dragon, A big reason why Field Spells sucked back then was because you could destroy your opponents Field Spells by activating your own. So even when there were good ones, and even when they had protection effects, they had an inherent weakness to becoming meta. This didn't matter as much later on when Ravine came out because that was a combo piece more than anything
In 2013-ish I remember throwing Rescue Rabbit to summon double Shocktrooper to make King of the Feral Imps to search Ammonite in a Fire Fist deck just to bounce my own Tenki - and Tensu more importantly - for spot removal. One of my favorite bad decks of all time because regular Fire Fists bored me to tears.
Played fortune lady, twilight LS, and flamvell cat back in the day. Fortune was pretty fun deck, sadly light easily can be miss timing killed the potential, but it still was okay rogue option, dem draw 2 felt so good lol. Future vision also pretty good field spell, along with more draw woth fortune future.
I saw on Japanese Anime on August/September that year. Yusei combo QuickDraw with LVL Eater and I was so amazed because i knew that those cards would definitely come out in real.
this was the time I first became aware of the meta and played the most IRL by far and had a group of like 5-10 friends who all played different but good decks. I have tons of nostalgia for basically every format from DSF up to the end of 2011 or so (probably around when dino rabbit became a thing) and my friends stopped playing.
At that time I had the only deck that was able to completely shutdown TeleDAD and Gladiator Beast: A fantastic fairy-counter with the hard-to-get Dark Bribe, Van'Dalgyon, Harvest Angel and Honest. I just destroyed every other deck in this format except a classic beatdown deck with D.D. Assailant/Warrior Lady in a couple of big tournaments. Unfortunately I had to quit playing on May 2009 because my daughter just born and I was just 21. Great times.
27:47 Do this day I can't believe that Jarel Pro Winston went to the world championship and played exodia there omg. And why do I remember this fact, 10 years later???
I was at YCS Dortmund playing against a dude, which let me go first. So I handlooped for 4 cards and the person next to him said: wait until you see. Then I passed and he just set 1 monster face-down. To be secure I popped it with Grapha and couldnt believe what I saw. It was mystical elf. He also didnt have an Extra Deck. He told me, that he only plays cards from the first season and participated at the pharao tours. But he was very kind and also just gifted me one of his 10 Dune boosters.
I know what it was 14 years ago, because I was there 14 years ago lol. Been here for GOAT, DAD, Dragon Ruler, PEPE, tear, etc. playing locals, regionals, and the rare SJC or YCS if they came near me. But only started playing casually competitive 2022. but there had been a few breaks, the biggest one being HS 2007-2011 I would play occasional locals, regionals, and SJC/YCS if my friends went and would play some random deck they would let me borrow and test the weekend/day before. . I lost A LOT, but did have a handful of tops.
In response to your distrust of chat, 2xDSF = 8k damage was an easy guess because of your tone. You sounded too disgusted by it for it to be just any random value over lethal, so it had to be exact. I may as well mention that, even as a person who's never played this game, Colossal Fighter is the card that comes to mind when I see Armory Arm.
Watching this makes me so sad... my parents kicked me out when i was 15 (2012) and they threw away all my cards ... i had like over 5000 2006-2012 era cards. And just looking at all the prices now because of eddison it easily about a few thousand € but also the nostalgia and the childhood memories.
MAGO and MGED both were bad. The macaroni/cheap gold over the cards ruins my sleeves, and it chips off really easily. The rares are fine, the DimPris reprints have been a great savings to my wallet for Edison staples.
Bro I don’t even play master duel modern yugioh is so bad lmao 😂 🤣 go take your deck and play with yourself in the bathroom since that’s all you do with your deck anyway
Lol no one is mad you just randomly comment on this for no reason, you are bad kid and you will always be bad, I will even come by here tomorrow to tell you that you are bad and the day after that
