What’s does slash draw do?

Another year of Konami not giving a damn about their responsibilities and just leaving the metagame in shambles on purpose in order to sell stuff to people.

They need to ban all poplar like cards.

I think consistently vs 1 card combo is a problem. Some decks can 1 card combo to full board but the versatility/consitency should be reduce to make sure they can’t just do that 1 card combo every time. Like brandead fusion for example, 1 spell and you can make your play, but its very vulnerable to most ht so many players is fine with it(except puppet lock) because you still have to work with other cards/engine, and what you stop affected ALOT to stop a 1 card combo so it won’t be sth like snake.eyes when you drop another engine to full combo again too ez. Other example I think its raidraptor, the deck is very consistency, you also have 1 card, 1.5 cards combo with it. But the number of archtypes draw in this deck + hand trap is a lot stop it doing the same combo everytime. So raidraptor deck can’t just play it every time because if that deck got stopped by ht in 1 card combo style you are dead. most of the time they have to do combo with 2 cards to play around ht.They really have to commit a lots to play around ht and they have to make sure to manage their extra deck because the deck is lack of outside non-archtypes cards to support the 1 card combo. Other examples like red resonator(1 card combo, harder to play around ht) we have 1 card combo, but it should have pay-off(sth like in deck, ability to play around) and the consistency so not every cards in a deck is a stater + engine.

I don't believe for one second that the regular winners are there because they are skilled. I think they've learned how to stack their shuffles, which is why they win far more consistently than they should.

I’m just so tired of playing against a deck that can’t be stopped. I’ve played against snake eye and drawn all hand traps it still ends on a full board so wtf can you do

Staples just go brrr no matter how unplayable it looks

I know I'm late but there is a line to get the on summon effect of Satellite Cannon Falcon

We need more one card combo decks

I've been saying this since the day they started making one card combos in a game with 0 resources and a 20 card starting hand. It's absolutely ridiculous to think this is where the game has gone

And Aluber always searches Fusion.

I still advocate for a renewal of GOAT format. Konami should make new cards for that specific pool of cards (matching power levels from back then, etc.). Take the game back to basics. The power creep in "modern" Yu-Gi-Oh is running into a wall very quickly.

Its not one card combos. its small engines.

Is the one card starter a possible reason to legalize the bug??

Genuinely some of the best games i've had in MD recently have been because I've been playing Rescue Ace Diabellstar, and I've had a lot of opponents stick through the games as well. I like to think the opponents are enjoying the breath of fresh air as well and having a lot more points of interaction and decision making instead of just waiting to see the Ash. I've got no real evidence for this other than far fewer early concessions, but i'unno. Seems to be the case.

Ban OSS and deck is fixed Joshy

I get that when I build something fun for casual and it’s constant Meta decks

crazy cause you said snake eyes was not tier zero

One card starters are fair and balanced

peak yugioh

A one card combo I can think of that is fair is cyberdark horizon. It can start up your entire process fir cyberdark end dragon which is a disgustingly powerful card, but its not an instant win. You still need a good hand to pull it off and it takes over half your avaliable monsters to summon. If it gets outed then you cant just bring it back with one card (monster reborn aside ofc) and it has big weaknesses to handle. Theres a combo with a buster blader card that stops your opponent from accessing the extra deck but that is incredibly hard to do and *will* always take 2 turns minimum unless your opponent mills it from your deck to be equipped. Cyberdark has no fancy costless omni-negates and while powerful, the boss monsters are stoppable.

yeah, but you chose to focus on the dice rolls and not that you also way luckier with the "technical difficulties"

I hate handtraps, they ruin the flow of the game and never fit into an archetype. They such when the opponent gets a hand full of them and you can't play, but if you get a hand of them then you can't play either. If I win, I wanna win against my enemy at their best, not someone struggling to start a play.

The instant “alright I’m in” after seeing the list is what I’m here for.

Ever think that maybe a game that jas you forfit so early isn't a good game anymore

This is why I play classic only.

Ban those cards like you did with circular.

Flamberge at 1 would be enough actually

This amblowhale ban is gonna go hard 😤

A deck of several small engine systems and 15+ hand traps is not healthy.(like snake eye,you can add Fire King, kashtira,which are not independent from the main Snake Eye engine because they can facilitate your combo and resist hand traps). Those decks with big engines will be hard to survive in future because you have to take many trash in your deck and you can only take less hand traps,such as Branded,all of trash cards you put in your deck is just to find Branded Fusion 😂

Good tutorials. Keep going with these videos

Lorcana added it's FIRST search card in the set that released last week, and it searches for another Madrigal card (from Encanto) to place on top of your deck. The thing is, there are MANY Madrigal cards that came from this set and in draft format youre not bound by mana color so it feels the most genuine searching for a card based on the situation you need to overcome rather than searching for one thing and one thing only. Thats the problem with modern yugioh. The newer meta relevant decks aren't creative or skillful. You really have no choice on your actions and all effects do one linear thing. Sure, you can search ANY level 1 fire monster with Ash, but you will never EVER add anything else but poplar. Sure, you could add ANY fire dragon with paidra, but you'll only ever add chundra. Theres NO skill expression or problem solving. Its literally like memorizing the answers for a test rather than actually studying the content to understand how to arrive at the answers.

snake-eyes is just the most boring deck to have to play against man. If my opponent normals ash and i have no response? That's a handshake bro

Another problem I have with SE is how stupidly pushed their effects are: Why does oak add/ss back from banishment? No other SE cards works with the banishment zone. Why does flamberge triggers if sent from hand? No SE card works by discarding cards. Why does wanted returns from banishment? It totally nullifies what should've been the drawback of using original's GY effect. And what more can be said about poplar at this point... It feels like all those effects were deliberately added to the cards to reduce drastically the amount of counterplay possible. Which is baffling when so many other cards have strict but understandable restriction on them.

1 card combo with multiple generic handtraps make toxic environment for this game, also make player brainless.

I do not entirely agree with the one card theory. This incredible combos were not doable with specific strong extra deck monsters. All banned link monsters currently are strong combo pieces, ALL. Every deck which can special summon consistently can be turned into a combodeck because of link monsters. People are forced to play strong handtraps against these consistent combodecks, otherwise combo goes and they lose. It is now similar to dragonlinks. If you wanna hit snake eyes hit their extra. IP is too long around anyway :D and cards like princess, selene or the charmers are just too good. Its just snake eyes can play all of them and all of them very consistent. But think about what would snake eyes do if there arent existing any link monsters? Not so much I would say...

It's funny how people complain about Lab when it doesn't let them play but no one talks about one card combo decks and how can they use +15 hand traps. People only likes the game when their one card combo works and summons 3 negates + handtraps + 4 cards in hand + summon even more in opponents turn. Konami needs to diverse the game a little bit more.

Both snake eyes and horus just do too much with little cost. Konami keep making these searcher cards too op.

It could be a meme potential.

I only uses Wanted, Diabelle and OSS for my infernoble deck.

Honestly the issue isn't the hand traps, they're fine. This is like old Yu-Gi-Oh where you have traps to stop your opponent's plays. The issue is, unlike with old Yu-Gi-Oh, if you do not have enough traps, the game is pretty much over. That makes it so that the games are kind of back and forth but only until one player resolves an effect and then it's GG. This also means you can't play more strategically with your disruptions since you have to negate certain stuff.

Why do you guys blame the handtraps when there are 1 card combo decks that allow 15+ handtraps to be played in the main deck

Everyone plays the same busted OP cards. Next sentence BUT THE GAME IS STILL A SKILL BASED GAME! - come on, wake up bro, at this point its all about drawing luck. Yugioh has become such a shitgame its hilarious. I feel sorry for its fanbase. RIP oldschool yugioh, powercreep destroyed it

I play a small snake-eye engine with volcanic (2 ash, 1 oak, 1 poplar, 1 birch , 2 OSS , 1 flamberge , 1 SE diabel , 1 field ) and it's insane the amount of ressources it gives me with only 10 cards

Snake eyes was a problem and still is a problem . The ban list didn’t do anything .

0:13 "which was the french national.." i didn't watch any further

I'm so glad you mentioned Limit One. I enjoyed that festival last year, and now it's just spoiled because of the one card combos in SE. What made it fun last time was that you didn't know what kind of combo you can pull off, but SE just kills that theme.

Are you?
