Years ago I used to play pokemon and there was a guy who would come to our tournaments with a full blinged deck (secret rare cards were original and there weren't reprints at this time so they were all +$100) and he would riffle shuffle every time. Absolutely agonizing to watch as a broke 14 year old
Bruh, as an ex-Yugioh player, that had me dying. Also, I've played almost all these types of players. The Ungraceful sucks, the Locked-In are boring, but the WORST are the ones you described at the "All-Business" players. Like, why even play if you only care about prizing? This is the second video I saw of your channel, instant subscribe.
I really appreciate the subscribe!! Yeaaah there are all of kinds of players but certainly some Im less fans of...its weird to see people play without really having fun or any real connection to the cards.
@@PurposefullyTCGas a former yugioh player too, the funny part is a portion of the players in my locals are former yugioh players so we technically fall in all the tropes. 😅
The first time I ever played MTG I straight up pulled The Minimalist and my friend who got me into it cringed harder than I've ever seen someone cringe lol
Let's see . . . I have seen plenty of locked in people. And once saw one go to the next level: Insufferable. Casual's I see a lot (It's me as well some of the times) I fully admit to being the ungrateful when I have a game against another on this list. Again, lots of tappers at locals level. All in all, I would say I am a casual based on this list. But I will say that even then I somehow, and I have no idea how, am winning way more than I could have dreamed with my personal pet deck: Foxy.
I know this is a parody, but to the trope of player who says "this is just a side hustle for me." Like, my sweet summer child. You could make more money at McDonald's when it comes to effort, time, and finances for the best decks required to be able to farm prize winnings from tournaments. 😅
I'm the diehard old leader pet project guy, it isn't even vague, its dead accurate... I went 2/7 at Treasure Cup with my Garp lol and I'm going back for more...
@@yamiyoussouf6154 I play suuuuper on and off but in very very casual ways now. Not climbing the MD ladder or going to locals anytime soon 🙅♂️ I still love watching yugioh, like cimo and MBT tho!
Damn, I'm the excuser but it isn't MY FAULT THAT MY ENIES LOBBY THAT I PLAY 4 OF DIDN'T APPEAR DURING MY LAST TOURNAMENT AT ALL IN MY HAND OR LIFE AND THAT MY 8 DROP SABO KEPT REFUSING TO SHOW UP WHEN I NEEDED HIM MOST AGAINST LAW!!!! Also, I think there is a player at my locals who never smiles and rolled his eyes when a friend of mine mentioned he had a Y/P Croc leader signed by the english va and not the japanese one. I don't know if that counts as the ungrateful or some other category but he scares me and thus I never talked to him once (that was my ted talk)
I feel like there are plenty of times where bad luck can legitimately ruin your run. Cant control everything! Also yeah some people are just generally unfriendly; I dont even know how to categorize them. They are moreso just a type of person haha
At the beggining, i dont want to play One Piece (even when is my favorita anime/manga) because of ygo. Even in tha bad formats, i'm good isn't like ygo...now
This video is just a lot of complaining. If you want people to act or play a certain way then host your own tournaments with rules. Its crazy how people like you go to random tournaments then complain when people justifiably do what they want with zero issues and magically there is a problem cause they don't meet your standards. This is just embarrassing.
@@PurposefullyTCG You can call it what you want but that wasn't comedy. If you truly wanted comedy then more effort into the player types should have happened.
If you're the "Whatever is the strongest deck" guy, I will absolutely be the ungrateful guy. If I go to my locals and half the people playing are running identical Rob Lucci/RP Law/Whatever is being copied from the internet for that week, you're the person making the game unfun for anyone who doesn't just want to be a meta slave. Maybe it's because I'm getting a little older and have less free time, but if I'm spending what little free time I have to think of and create a deck, drive across town on the one night of the week I have to play some card games, and you're the third Rob Lucci I've faced in three games with an identical deck to the previous two people, I don't want to hear a word from you. Not even a good game, I don't want to be your buddy at that point. I started with six friends who wanted to play this game and I'm down to one, and even that one almost never plays anymore. When it was Sakazuki everywhere it was bad, but it feels like it's always going to be something. At this point, even winning against a meta deck isn't fun because it's just the exact same thing. I'd rather lose to a Crocodile deck than beat a Rob Lucci deck at this point. If I'm in the sim and see Rob Lucci or RP Law, I just quit out.
@@DannyBellTheAuthor yeah tryhards at locals who only run meta get a little tiring after a while. It really depends. For this video, I’m focusing on large tournaments (Treasure Cups or Regionals), so facing only tier 1 or 2 decks should be expected. I guess it should be said that some people use locals as practice for bigger events, in which case I don’t blame them too much. Although I like playing meta decks occasionally at locals, I usually have the most fun using some random leader and seeing how it performs. OP07 I believe is a bit unique in the amount of deck diversity. There isn’t a huge gap between many “rogue” strategies and meta. Every color (for the most part) has some very powerful tools. Wishing you the best of luck taking down the meta tho!!
It's a weird line because I really love playing both RP Luffy and Reiju who are not meta at all, but I do like gecko moria and lucci as well cuz graveyard removal is fun. I don't want to be a meta slave, I'll never touch RP Law and never touched Sakazuki, but does playing a deck that is meta mean myself or others should be put in this category? Idk
@PurposefullyTCG it might just be my area, but around here it's no exaggeration like 75% of that. There was a locals last week with 23 people, and after my first table which had four players, two Rob Luccis and a RP Law (I was running Dragon) I got up and walked around the room to see what everyone was running and it was 10 Rob Lucci. I regularly see posts where people are just buying an entire deck list of the meta, it's not even like people are taking the leader an even trying to do something different. I mean, I get it for large tournaments, everyone wants to win the big prize with as little thought as possible. If something worked in Japan, it will work here, sure. Even that kind of sucks though, I just hate the concept of copying someone else's homework and I think it's a major factor in the death of many TCGs. At locals though? It just sucks. There's a locals tonight, and I like to support my local stores, but I don't really want to go thinking about what I'm going to face. My last remaining friend who attends these things doesn't want to go, and I can probably just play on the sim.
@304Blaise if you're looking up a deck list from winners of other events and you're just playing whatever they played because it won, yes. If you're doing your own thing and not relying on the same tired broken combos that everyone else in the room is doing, no. Just my opinion though.
