@@Shaman5EUSK lol no it doesn’t. I play both games and it’s definitely easier to shuffle magic cards. The only reason yugioh is easier to shuffle is the deck size not the card size. Try shuffling a 60 card yugioh deck or a 40 card magic deck. The 40 card deck is what makes it easier.
@@anthonycannet1305 I've shuffled many 60 card YGO decks. I used to play B.A.S E.D before it got nerfed, am now playing Brave P.U.N.K Therions so large decks aren't unfamiliar to me. In terms of MTG, MTG must have 60 cards and I found that I often was getting cards caught when shuffling due to the larger size. Could be that I'm unfamiliar (I played several demo games with a green/white deck) with the size but you can say the same the other way around.
@@anthonycannet1305 oh hey, I actually know the reason for this! Why theyre smaller is actually because of how they were originally sold. Initially yugioh cards were novelty collectibles of cards from the original manga, and Shonen jump realized that they could take advantage of the fact plenty of toy stores in japan had a plethora of vending machines similar to capsule toy machines but for cards that were called carddass' (which typically only dispensed baseball card-esqe portraits of anime characters) to sell alot of these novelty cards without having to package them in card packs. The issue was that carddass' only dispensed pretty small cards, but Shonen jump didnt consider making yugioh a proper tcg at this point and most cards at the time didnt have alot of text on them so the advantages of bigger cards having more space on them or the other advantages of having bigger cards just wasnt something they cared about. Of course eventually Shonen jump saw the popularity of yugioh as something they can tap into more than just as a manga or anime and sold some usage rights to Konami so they could make a tcg, and Konami in presumably in an attempt to retain customers who previously bought the novelty cards kept the new cards the same size and with the same back side to make sure the old cards were legal to play in the new game they were making. Its actually because of carddass cards and yugioh cards that in alot of other places in the world when talking about card sizing they refer to those size cards as the "Japanese cards" as they were the only place that really printed them. But thats more of a fun fact then it is anything relevant.
Did you really show the censored version of a card from 15-20 years ago as proof ? Why don't you show something from the Albaz Storyline instead ?(Or a personal favore of mine , Plunder Patroll) or heck , even change of hearts if you want something from two decades ago
@@Gravetanha This is only sometimes true, other times u get to ur turn and retroactively decide ur oponnent didnt play any cards and wont play any ever again
Reason number 15.A2 Yu-Gi Oh player wasted money on their hair product for their ridiculous hair style while Magic players can save a tons of money by not showering.
@@shuffler45 hygeine. also there is a card which makes your opponent have a havdshake with you, except you dont actually have to do the handshake, just constent to it.
There's a MTG card that makes you ask a person outside the game "do you like squirrels?" There's even special rules for it like if there are no people near you then you must text someone and wait for their response, its sadly not legal in any format.
@@alphanbuster9292this is from over a decade ago and has been banned in competitive play ever since but yea was pretty funny how people would spit in their hand and force you to handshake with them (no it wasn’t just consent as there was another card that specifically said “they MUST do the handshake” if you play this card alongside it)
@alexw5674 ah yes, Squirrel Dealer. I have this card. Another card I have from that same set makes you play a game of magic inside of your current game of magic (card name: countdown is one)
Your next commander deck should have a dumb yugioh card as the commander. And like, don't explain anything about it. Just toss in random magic cards and let people guess what color(s) you are playing. Play your lands face down and declare them trap cards. You win for each brain at the table you break.
Wait. Wait a. Wait a fuxking minute. Magic combat mechanics Yugioh duelist of the roses Warhammer/DND map. Have a commander play cards face down around him move them certain blocks etc. Duelist of the FUCKING ROSES IN REAL LIFE
Have memorizing the millionth summoning technique and getting through your opponents entire deck of hand traps I’ll be over here tapping mana so I can actually play the game
@@timmcgarry6723 tbh it's quite easy to memorize a huge card effect after the third time reading it because, well, if you read it then basically you know what it does, specially when using an archetype specific deck
@@realjooj1296 this is true. A lot of archetypal monsters share part of their effects. So once you read one of them you can basically skip half of the text on the other cards. Additionally most most modern cards have a similar effect layout of: 1. Summoning conditions (if any) 2. On summon effects (if any) 3. On field effects (if any) 4. On removal effects (if any) 5. In grave effects (if any) Some cards have it in a slightly different order or have effects that are broken up differently, but these are usually either older cards OR cards from archetypes that have the same non-standard, general layout (like burning abyss)
@@ibra8096 i play both, and yes yugi is aloot more dinamic, u need to know when use the counter wich part of the chain etc etc etc, maybe are less turn on yugi 2 3 maybe 4, but the everry turn u can do aloot of things and response to your opponet, magic u need atlest 2 turn for set the combo,
I quit yugioh when stuff like that came out. Joined back again because pendulums were nerfed to hell. Honestly magic artwork was bad to me. It catered to an older generation and was too grainy for my tastes. Also...did he just compared a tomato to a dragon and said the tomato was the worse art?
@@xXMordSchlagXx try Yugioh: Duel Links or Yugioh: Master Duel, they’re a really good entry point. Duel Links just to understand the easiest mechanics of the game (because it’s a gatcha) and Master Duel to play normal duels with the link mechanic, not available in Duel Links. Making a deck in Master Duel costs less than nothing. If you want to play IRL don’t go to locals when you start because sometimes well experienced players are pretty toxic towards new players. Try to discover Yugioh with a friend and with structure decks.
@@xXMordSchlagXx try masterduel, its the most closet thing of real tcg, also have the timming of effect and chain so damm good u can learn the rules for chains easly,
@@gunnellaganni think they are on par too. But ygo would beat magic for me if they had formats. Magic is sweet cuz you get to pick how you want to play for the most part via formats. That’s nice. But the reprints for key cards is so random and arse at times lol. Ygo you wait 1-2 yards boom staples at 80% off for the most part.
The big thing for me is the style choices. MTG has easy to read and understand mana costs and card text, the level on YuGiOh cards is just a ton of circles which could easily just be a number, and the card art is so large the text box at the bottom is tiny, not to mention the out of proportion unreasonably high numbers for everything. an attack of 3000 and 2500 could just be 30 and 25.
A lot of this originates from the original anime, since it was a manga first. The large numbers were made in contrast to othe card games of the time, as they wanted to make them ‘cooler’ by having larger values
Well that's not completely true if you want easy to read card texts and smaller attack numbers just stick to the cards printed in the early days, Take skull servant for example 300 defence and 200 attack with flavour text stating "a skeletal ghost that isn't strong but can mean trouble in large numbers" Or a simple spell like monster reborn, with the simple line of text, "target 1 monster in either players gy; special summon it" The difficulty of yu gi oh will always scale with how you play and how far you are willing to go.
@@e-e4761 but the complexity of card effects in yugioh is the reason to love the game, it's so fast paced that small decisions matter a lot because the ressources snowball so quickly, simple effects like monster reborn or a monster like skull servant just don't fit in there
Reason why Yu-Gi-Oh! is better than Magic the Gathering 1 - The cards are much more kissable, all MtG cards are old men and girls. 2 - YGO players are in their 30s, like me and are all men. Like me. 3 - When I look at a YGO card you can hear me say "dayum, they probably packin" this is a reference to me being gay.
@@jamespeake2606 just a popularity thing that made it happen, like when brad pit beat out danny devito previously, some people are just uncultured and don't know what good looks are
@@sablesalt Exactly! How can any in good conscience say otherwise? Don't let these fools distract you from the fact that in 1998, the Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.
Just got into magic recently, have been into yugioh for a few years now, I love both dearly they're both fantastic, just very different from one another! Also my friend said he got into it partially becauee of the artwork, and I kinda get it now, especially the fact that dope as hell alt arts are such a common occurence whereas yugioh doesn't even have full art cards, but I still like yugioh art more, it gets so gorgeous!
I quit yugioh and play mtg, when you are playing yugioh and turn one you sit there for 20 to 30 mins while your opponent plays solitaire with themselves while you sit there watch them do a massive combo to end on a board that says YOU CAN'T PLAY THE GAME ON YOUR TURN... there is no interaction other than hand traps.
what about dark ruler no more, forbidden droplet, skill drain. dark ruler to raigeki or forbidden to lighting storm there are ways to delete boards and pretty easy ways yes you can play the turn on your game sounds like you came straight out of master duel where the game is very un polished due to its ban list
I mean to be serious mtg is a more complex, intellectually driven game largely due to one major reason: resource management. While there are card games out there that use resource management as a driving engine other card game other than mtg has struck the same incredible balance between combat tactics , resource management and immersive gameplay that mtg has.
yugi is more complex per definition, i mean easly yugi can play 11 to 20 card per turn, and the definition of dictionary for complex for dictionary is "consisting of many different and connected parts." magic is more simple but have more option, plus complex are simple dosent mean it easy of harder, for example binary is pretty simple just 2 elements but its harder than the alphabet that contain 26 elements plus gramatical rulling, also magic is not balance at all, exist OTK deck but are just more expensive than a OTK for yugi maybe 2 to 3 times the prize a deck OTK magic against yugi
As a Yugioh player i agree with some of the card art being stupid. But you used a card from early early Yugioh. Nowadays the art is mostly better. But he never said anything that the gameplay is bad😉
As someone who used to do nothing but play Yu-Gi-Oh and talk shit about mtg I can definitely say mtg is way better even tho I Played Yu-Gi-Oh for like 7 years and have only played magic for like 2
i play both, both are good but i like more yugi XD, just taste option, but funny things on mtg still the otk but the deck its dam expensive for example 8 card of my afinity per aftifact otk like 520 buck, mox opal and solring
As someone who does play mtg and ygo, the only thing I can say that is very different is that in one, we can have either a long game or I get mana screwed. In the other one, I have people leaving the table the moment that I play Mystic Mine.
My responses to your reasonings. Reason number 1: 😐 Reason number 2: Your yugioh example came out in 2002. Reason number 3: MTG is older and by that logic should be more popular. And MTG was created in the US and the US is generally more fans of TCG. This is also shown in Yugioh TCG vs OCG popularity. Reason number 4: No
I honestly prefer it over Yugioh as there really isn’t much restriction to special summon in Yugioh at least not in recent years, with magic you get to let you and your opponent play
@@konakona8133 still can’t cast it without having 5 mana in play which is typically expensive, whereas with Yugioh you can practically use almost any card you want no restriction needed
no way to bring back old format, plus is not lost, fact on 2023 maybe yugi is in the more balance era of yugi history, i can remember if u dont have a deck of 1200 buck u can do a shit and now with a deck with just 200 to 400 bucks its a meta deck, and magic still more expensive i sell 8 carfs from magic for 750 buck and buy a meta deck of yugi and pay some bills, but if u wanna play old format on nearly all events are GOAT yugi 1999 to 2005 card list and rules and eddison 2011 card and rules, or you can play speeddules with friends
Why I am better then you. 1: I don’t you and I know me. 2: you don’t look cool, but I do. 3: I am more popular and have more rizz. Thank you for reading, I am not trying to offend him or anything but he does not give good risins.
One that’s an opinion and on terms of being unique magic wins. And mtg had had multiple famous artists to do card art. 2 this video is obviously a joke
Yugioh wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for Magic The Gathering, it is because of Magic The Gathering that Yugioh exists this way, well the card game in the Yugioh manga started off as a spoof of Magic The Gathering and the fans loved it so much that the Creator of Yugioh decided to stick with the card game from now on, though the game started off poorly made filled with contradictions and poor summoning mechanics until it turned into a constantly changing card game as if it was like some kind of fashion industry or should I say like a child going though many fades that is what Yugioh is nowadays.
I used to be obsessed with yu gi oh, but when someone introduced me with MTG I realized it's way fun than yu gi oh. To me it has gotten too complicated
As someone who has played both YU GI OH and magic I agree because magic is more fun because it last more than 2 turns and you don’t get locked out of playing if it last longer than 2 turns
I enjoyed playing yugioh as a child. The bad thing is that it has no variety. All aim for the same strong cards for a deck. Magic has variety 5 colors and a lot of combinations with them.
I would suggest you look into modern or even middle era yugioh. Yugioh has more variety than magic by a wide margin. Separated into a few hundred archetypes (think dark magician or blue eyes white dragon, but entire decks filled with cards designed around them). + a few thousand generic cards.
Thing is Yu-Gi-Oh has nothing like commander, where there is an enormous amount of decks you can play and all games are unique, engaging and unpredictable. Nowadays competitive Yu-Gi-Oh is way too fast, limited in it's deckbuilding by it's archetypes and just not that fun to play unless playing casually.
